Section 2.2.     Execution;
Delivery; Dating and Cancellation.

 

(a)            Any
Preferred Share Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one or more Authorized Officers of the Issuer (or by the Administrator
on the Issuer’s behalf). The signature of such Authorized Officer on a Preferred Share Certificate shall be manual and may not be
a facsimile or other electronic transmission (including a Portable Document Format (PDF) copy sent by email).

 

(b)            Preferred
Share Certificates bearing the signatures of individuals who were at any time the Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer,
notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the delivery of such Preferred
Share Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Preferred Shares.

 

(c)            At
any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, the Issuer may deliver Preferred Share Certificates executed by
the Issuer to the Preferred Share Paying Agent for authentication, and the Preferred Share Paying Agent, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate
and deliver such Preferred Share Certificates as directed by the Issuer.

 

(d)            All
Preferred Share Certificates authenticated and delivered by the Preferred Share Paying Agent upon Issuer Order on the Closing Date shall
be dated on the Closing Date. All other Preferred Share Certificates that are authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose
under this Agreement shall be dated on the date of their execution.

 

(e)            No
Preferred Share Certificate (other than the Preferred Share Certificate issued on the Closing Date) shall be entitled to any benefit under
this Preferred Share Paying Agency Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Preferred Share Certificate
a Preferred Share Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Preferred Share Paying
Agent by the manual signature of one of their Authorized Officers and executed by the Issuer, and such certificate upon any Preferred
Share Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Preferred Share Certificate has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.

 

(f)            All
Preferred Share Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, if surrendered to
any Person other than the Preferred Share Paying Agent, be delivered to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, and shall promptly be canceled.
No Preferred Share Certificates shall be issued in lieu of or in exchange for any Preferred Share Certificates canceled as provided in
this Section 2.2(f), except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All canceled Preferred Share Certificates held by the
Preferred Share Paying Agent shall be destroyed or held by the Preferred Share Paying Agent in accordance with its standard retention
policy.

 

(g)            If
(i) any mutilated or defaced Preferred Share Certificate is surrendered to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, or if there shall be
delivered to the Issuer or the Preferred Share Paying Agent (each, a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Preferred Share Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to each Specified
Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save

 

    -7-

    

    

 

each of them and any agent
of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Preferred Share Certificate has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share
Certificate, a new Preferred Share Certificate, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal notional amount, registered
in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share Certificate and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

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

 

In case any such mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share Certificate has become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Preferred Share Certificate, pay such Preferred Share Certificate without requiring surrender thereof except that any
mutilated or defaced Preferred Share Certificate shall be surrendered.

 

Upon the issuance of any new
Preferred Share Certificate under this Section 2.2(g), the Issuer may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Preferred Share Paying Agent) connected therewith.

 

Every new Preferred Share
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 2.2(g) in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred
Share Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, and such new Preferred Share Certificate
shall be entitled, subject to this Section 2.2(g), to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with
any and all other Preferred Share Certificates duly issued hereunder.

 

The provisions of this Section 2.2(g) are
exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Preferred Share Certificates.

 

Section 2.3.     Registration.

 

(a)            The
Issuer shall keep or cause to be kept the Preferred Share Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Preferred Share Registrar shall provide for the registration of holders of, and the registration of transfers and exchanges of, Preferred
Shares and Ordinary Shares. The Administrator is hereby initially appointed as agent of the Issuer to act as the “Preferred Share
Registrar” for the purpose of maintaining the Preferred Share Register and registering and recording in the Preferred Share Register
the Preferred Shares 

 

    -8-

    

    

 

and transfers of such Preferred Shares as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Preferred Share
Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall promptly provide the Preferred Share
Registrar with all information necessary to prepare and maintain the Preferred Share Register (upon receipt by the Preferred Share Paying
Agent thereof). The Preferred Share Registrar shall be entitled to rely on such information provided to it pursuant to the preceding sentence
without any liability on its part.

 

(b)            The
Preferred Share Paying Agent shall maintain a duplicate share register and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such duplicate share
register for the purpose of payment on the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have the right to inspect the Preferred
Share Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have the right to rely
upon a certificate executed on behalf of such Preferred Share Registrar by an Authorized Officer thereof as to the names and addresses
of the Holders and the numbers of such Preferred Shares. If either party becomes aware of any discrepancies between the Preferred Share
Register and the duplicate share register, it shall promptly inform the other of the same and the Preferred Share Registrar and the Preferred
Share Paying Agent shall cooperatively ensure that the Preferred Share Register and the duplicate share register are reconciled in a timely
manner and in any case prior to the next Record Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Preferred Share Paying Agent
shall have no duty to monitor or determine whether any discrepancies exist between the two registers.

 

Section 2.4.     Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Shares.

 

(a)            Subject
to this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred Share Certificates
at the offices of the Preferred Share Paying Agent in compliance with the restrictions set forth in any legend appearing on any such Preferred
Share Certificate, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall, upon receipt of all related transfer exhibits, authenticate such Preferred
Share Certificate and deliver such Preferred Share Certificate (together with any related transfer exhibits) to the Issuer (or to the
Administrator on its behalf) for execution. Upon execution of the Preferred Share Certificate by the Issuer (or the Administrator on its
behalf), the Issuer shall deliver the Preferred Share Certificate to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, and the Preferred Share Paying
Agent shall deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Preferred Share Certificates, each in an
Authorized Denomination, of like terms and of a like number.

 

(b)            Subject
to this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5, at the option of the Holder, Preferred Shares may be exchanged for Preferred
Shares, each in an Authorized Denomination, of like terms and of like number upon surrender of the related Preferred Share Certificate
at such office as the Preferred Share Paying Agent may designate for such purposes. Whenever any Preferred Share Certificate is surrendered
for exchange, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall authenticate such Preferred Share Certificate and thereafter deliver such Preferred
Share Certificate to the Issuer for execution (together with any related transfer exhibits). Upon execution of the Preferred Share Certificate
by the Issuer (or the Administrator on its behalf), the Issuer shall deliver the Preferred Share Certificate to the Preferred Share Paying
Agent, and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall deliver such Preferred Share Certificate to the Holder making the exchange.

 

    -9-

    

    

 

(c)            Preferred
Share Certificates representing Preferred Shares issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Shares shall represent
equity interests of the Issuer entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement and the Memorandum and Articles as the Preferred Shares
represented by the Preferred Share Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(d)            All
Preferred Share Certificates presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by an assignment form
and a written instrument of transfer each in a form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent, duly executed by
the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

(e)            No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Shares, but the Preferred Share Paying
Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the expenses of delivery (if any) not made by regular mail or any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

(f)            The
Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar, and any agent of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent
or the Preferred Share Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Preferred Shares are registered on the Preferred Share Register
as the owner of such Preferred Shares on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments in respect of such Preferred
Shares and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred
Share Registrar or any agent of the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent or the Preferred Share Registrar shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

(except to an affiliate that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned by GPMT CLO REIT LLC (“Sub-REIT”) and is disregarded
for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from Sub-REIT) unless the Issuer receives an opinion of Dechert LLP, Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP or another nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters that such transfer,
pledge or hypothecation will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business in the United

received an opinion of Dechert LLP, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP or another nationally recognized tax counsel experienced
in such matters that the Issuer will be treated as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business in the United States

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

 

(iii)            At
all times, if a sale or transfer (including without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) of all or a portion of the EHRI is to be made,
then the Preferred Share Registrar and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall refuse to register such sale or transfer unless:

 

(A)            such
sale or transfer is to a “majority-owned affiliate,” as such term is defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, of the Securitization
Sponsor;

 

(B)            such
sale or transfer will occur after the termination of the EHRI Transfer Restriction Period; or

 

(C)            the
Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Preferred Share Registrar receives an opinion of Dechert LLP or another nationally recognized
securities law counsel experienced in such matters that such sale or transfer will not result in a violation of the Credit Risk Retention
Rules or that the Credit Risk Retention Rules no longer apply to such sale or transfer.

 

In connection with
any sale or transfer pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Preferred Share
Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless, in addition to a Purchaser Certificate, it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) (x) a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1,
which certificate must be countersigned by the Securitization Sponsor and (y) a certificate from the Holder desiring to effect such
sale or transfer, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, which certificate must be countersigned by the
Securitization Sponsor. Upon receipt of the foregoing certifications or opinion, as applicable, the Preferred Share Registrar and the
Preferred Share Paying Agent shall, subject to Section 2.4 and the other provisions of this Section 2.5, reflect
all or any such portion of the EHRI in the name of the prospective transferee.

 

Any purported transfer
or exchange in violation of the foregoing requirements shall be null and void ab initio.

 

(b)            No
Preferred Shares may be offered, sold, delivered or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) except to
(i) (A) a non-U.S. Person in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S or (B) both (x) either (A) a Qualified
Institutional Buyer or (B) a person (other than any rating organization rating the Issuer’s securities) involved in the organization
or operation of the Issuer or an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such a person and (y) a
Qualified Purchaser, and (ii) in accordance with any other applicable law.

 

(c)            No
Preferred Shares may be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. Persons except in accordance
with Rule 144A or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to Persons that are Qualified

 

    -11-

    

    

 

Purchasers and are (i) purchasing
for their own account or for the accounts of one or more Qualified Institutional Buyers or (ii) a person (other than any rating
organization rating the Issuer’s securities) involved in the organization or operation of the Issuer or an “affiliate”
(as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such a person for which the purchaser is acting as a fiduciary or agent. Preferred
Shares may be sold or resold, as the case may be, in offshore transactions to non-U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S. None of the
Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Registrar or any other Person may register the Preferred Shares under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

(d)            No
transfer of Preferred Shares to a proposed transferee that is or will be, or is acting on behalf of or using any assets of any Person
that is or will become, a Benefit Plan Investor shall be effective, and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall not process or recognize
any such transfer.

 

Beneficial interests in Preferred
Shares may not at any time be acquired or held by or on behalf of a Benefit Plan Investor.

 

No transfer of Preferred Shares
or any interest therein shall be effective, and the Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent will not recognize any such transfer,
if the transferee’s acquisition, holding or disposition of such interest constitutes or shall constitute or otherwise result in
a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a plan subject to Similar
Law, a violation of Similar Law) unless an exemption is available (all of the conditions of which have been satisfied) or any other violation
of an applicable requirement of ERISA, the Code or other applicable law.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Preferred Share Registrar shall not be responsible for ascertaining whether
any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or any exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws
or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, applicable Similar Law or the Investment Company Act; provided,
that if a Purchaser Certificate is specifically required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Preferred
Share Paying Agent, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not
the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the terms of this Agreement and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same
if such Purchaser Certificate does not comply with such terms.

 

(e)            Transfers
and exchanges of Preferred Share Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with this Section 2.5(e).
Any purported transfer or exchange in violation of the following requirements shall be null and void ab initio, the Issuer shall
not execute and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall not deliver Preferred Share Certificates with respect to the transfer or exchange
and the Preferred Share Registrar shall not register any such purported transfer or exchange.

 

(i)            Transfer—Preferred
Share Certificate to Preferred Share Certificate. If a Holder of a Preferred Share Certificate wishes at any time to transfer such
Preferred Share Certificate to a Person that will take delivery in the form of Preferred Share Certificates, such Holder may transfer
or cause the transfer of such interest for an equivalent interest in

 

    -12-

    

    

 

 

one or more Preferred Share Certificates (in Authorized Denominations),
but only upon delivery of the documents set forth in the following sentence. Upon receipt by the Preferred Share Paying Agent of:

 

(A)            the
Preferred Share Certificates properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee; and

 

(B)            a
Purchaser Certificate;

 

the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall
cancel such Preferred Share Certificates, authenticate such new Preferred Share Certificate and arrange for new Preferred Share Certificates
to be executed by the Issuer and, upon the Preferred Share Paying Agent’s receipt of such executed Preferred Share Certificates,
the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall deliver one or more Preferred Share Certificates registered in the name and number specified in
the Purchaser Certificate (the aggregate number of such Preferred Shares being equal to the interest delivered to the Preferred Share
Paying Agent) and in Authorized Denominations. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall record the exchange on the duplicate share register
and instruct the Preferred Share Registrar to, and the Preferred Share Registrar shall upon such instruction, record the transfer in the
Preferred Share Register.

 

(ii)            Exchange—Preferred
Share Certificate to Preferred Share Certificate. If a Holder of a Preferred Share Certificate wishes at any time to exchange such
Preferred Share Certificate for one or more Preferred Share Certificates, such Holder may exchange or cause such exchange for an equivalent
interest in one or more Preferred Share Certificates (in Authorized Denominations), but only upon delivery of the documents set forth
in the following sentence. Upon receipt by the Preferred Share Paying Agent of:

 

(A)            the
Preferred Share Certificates properly endorsed for exchange; and

 

(B)            a
Purchaser Certificate;

 

the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall
cancel such Preferred Share Certificates, authenticate such new Preferred Share Certificate and arrange for new Preferred Share Certificates
to be executed by the Issuer and, upon the Preferred Share Paying Agent’s receipt of such executed Preferred Share Certificates,
the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall deliver one or more Preferred Share Certificates, registered in the names and numbers specified
in the Purchaser Certificate (the aggregate number of Preferred Shares being equal to the number of Preferred Shares delivered to the
Preferred Share Paying Agent) and in Authorized Denominations. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall record the exchange on the duplicate
share register and instruct the Preferred Share Registrar to, and the Preferred Share Registrar shall upon such instruction, record the
exchange in the Preferred Share Register.

 

(f)            Preferred
Share Certificates shall bear a legend substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A unless there is delivered to the Issuer
such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Issuer to the effect that neither
such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to

 

    -13-

    

    

 

ensure that transfers thereof comply with the
provisions of Rule 144A under, Section 4(a)(2) of, or Regulation S under, the Securities Act, as applicable, and to ensure
that neither the Issuer nor the pool of Collateral becomes an investment company required to be registered under the Investment Company
Act. Preferred Share Certificates that are delivered to the Preferred Share Paying Agent by or on behalf of the Issuer without such legend
shall be conclusive evidence that the Issuer has satisfied any conditions precedent, and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have no
obligation to determine whether such legend is required. The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall not be required to make any representation
or warranty to the validity of any Preferred Share, except to the extent of its own signature thereon. Upon provision of such satisfactory
evidence to the Issuer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, at the direction of the Issuer, shall deliver Preferred Share Certificates that
do not bear such applicable legend.

 

(g)            The
Preferred Share Registrar may rely conclusively on any directions given by the Issuer or the Preferred Share Paying Agent in accordance
with this Agreement without further review, to effect the transfer of Preferred Shares by making all necessary entries in the Preferred
Share Register and shall have no liability for acting in reliance on any such directions.

 

(h)            Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, at all times, if a transfer of all or any portion of the EHRI after the Closing Date is to
be made, then the Preferred Share Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively
rely upon) (i) a certification from such Holder’s prospective transferee and (ii) a certification from the Holder of the
EHRI desiring to effect such transfer, each, in form and substance, acceptable to the Securitization Sponsor. Upon receipt of the foregoing
certifications, the Preferred Share Registrar shall, subject to this Section 2.5, reflect such EHRI in the name of the prospective
transferee.

 

Section 2.6.          [Reserved]

 

Section 2.7.          Non-Permitted
Holders.

 

(a)            Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Agreement, any transfer of a beneficial interest in Preferred Shares to a Non-Permitted Holder shall be null
and void ab initio and any such purported transfer of which the Issuer or the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall have notice may
be disregarded by the Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent for all purposes at any time after either of them learns that any Person
is or has become a Non-Permitted Holder.

 

(b)            If
any Non-Permitted Holder becomes the beneficial owner of Preferred Shares, the Issuer shall, promptly after discovery of any such Non-Permitted
Holder by the Issuer or the Preferred Share Paying Agent (and notice by the Preferred Share Paying Agent to the Issuer, if the Preferred
Share Paying Agent makes the discovery), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its
Preferred Shares or interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted
Holder fails to so transfer such Preferred Shares or interest, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted
Holder, to sell such Preferred Shares or interest in Preferred Shares to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted
Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may retain an investment bank to act on the Issuer’s behalf or request
one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals

 

    -14-

    

    

 

that regularly deal in securities similar to the Preferred Shares,
and the Issuer will sell such Preferred Shares or interest to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by
any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. Each Holder of Preferred Shares, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person
in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Preferred Shares,
agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of
any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions
of any sale under this subsection shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and none of the Issuer, Preferred Share Registrar
or the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person having an interest in the Preferred Shares sold as a result of any
such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

 

Section 2.8.          Certain
Tax Matters.

 

(a)            The
Issuer, and each Holder by acceptance of such Preferred Shares, each agree, where permitted by applicable law and unless the Issuer is
a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, to treat such Preferred Shares as an equity interest in the Issuer for U.S. federal, State and local income
and franchise tax purposes.

 

(b)            The
Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent agree that they do not intend for this Agreement to represent an agreement to enter into a
partnership, a joint venture or any other business entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying
Agent shall not represent or otherwise hold themselves out to the IRS or other third parties as partners in a partnership or members of
a joint venture or other business entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

(c)            The
Issuer shall not elect to be treated as a partnership and neither the Issuer, nor the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall file or cause
to be filed any U.S. federal, State or local partnership tax return with respect to this Agreement.

 

(d)            The
Issuer shall take all actions necessary or advisable to allow the Issuer to comply with FATCA, including, appointing any agent or representative
to perform due diligence, withholding or reporting obligations of the Issuer pursuant to FATCA. The Issuer shall provide any certification
or documentation (including the applicable IRS Form W-9 (or if required, the applicable IRS Form W-8) or any successor form)
to any payor (as defined in FATCA) from time to time as provided by law to minimize U.S. withholding tax under FATCA.

 

(e)            Upon
written request, the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall provide to the Issuer or any agent thereof any information specified by such parties
regarding the Holders and payments on the Preferred Shares that is reasonably available to the Preferred Share Paying Agent, and may be
necessary for compliance with FATCA, subject in all cases to confidentiality provisions.

 

Section 2.9.          Provisions
of the Indenture and Servicing Agreement.

 

Each Holder of the Preferred
Shares, by its acceptance of the Preferred Shares issued hereunder, agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Indenture and Servicing
Agreement relating to the Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may, without the

 

    -15-

    

    

 

consent of any party other than
any Holder of Preferred Shares affected thereby, reorganize the Preferred Shares with different or additional classes or components so
long as the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares and their aggregate entitlement to dividends and distributions is
not increased, and the Issuer may amend its organizational documents to effect such reorganization of Preferred Shares.

been paid to the Preferred Share Paying Agent pursuant to the Priority of Payments in the Indenture.

 

(f)            Payments
will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by such Holder as notified to the Preferred Share Paying Agent or, in

the Preferred Share Registrar be expected to respond in less than two Business Days from receipt of such request.

 

(g)            Subject
to Section 3.1(d), the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall distribute all amounts to be paid in accordance with the Priority

(B)            to
the Class X Preferred Shares, to the extent of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon; and

 

(C)            to
the Class R Preferred Shares, the remaining Interest Proceeds (if any) in the Preferred Share Distribution Account.

Proceeds. On each Payment Date, Available Funds that constitute Principal Proceeds under the Indenture shall be distributed in the
following order of priority:

 

(A)            to

a condition to payment of any amount hereunder without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, on behalf
of the Issuer, shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer and the Preferred Share Paying Agent to determine their
duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect
of the Preferred Shares under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any present or future law or regulation
of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under such law
or regulation. Without limiting the foregoing, as a condition to any

 

    -17-

    

    

 

payment on the Preferred Shares without U.S. federal back-up withholding,
the Issuer shall require the delivery of properly completed and signed applicable U.S. federal income tax certifications (generally, an
IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a Person that is a “United States person” as defined in the
Code or an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or applicable successor form), in the case of a Person that
is not a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code). In addition, the Issuer or any of its agents shall require,
as a condition to payment without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax under FATCA, (i) complete and accurate information and documentation
that may be required to enable the Issuer or any of its agents to comply with FATCA and (ii) each Holder to agree that the Issuer
and/or any of its agents may (1) provide such information and documentation and any other information concerning its investment in
the Preferred Shares to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority (including a properly completed and executed “Entity Self-Certification
Form” or “Individual Self-Certification Form” (in the forms published by the Cayman Islands Department for International
Tax Cooperation, which forms can be obtained at https://www.ditc.ky/crs/crs-legislation-resources/))), the U.S. Internal Revenue Service

the Code or other applicable law by any Person from a payment of dividends to any Holder shall be considered as having been paid by the
Issuer to such Holder for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)            [Reserved]

 

(c)            Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, distributions of Available Funds on any Payment Date (including any Redemption Date or the
Stated Maturity Date), shall be subject to the Issuer being solvent under Cayman Islands law (defined as the Issuer being able to pay
its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, such payment as determined
by the Issuer.

 

(d)            If
the Issuer determines that the condition set forth in subsection (c) above is not satisfied with respect to any portion
of the Available Funds on such Payment Date, the Issuer shall instruct the Preferred Share Paying Agent in writing on or before one Business
Day prior to such Payment Date that such portion should not be paid, and the Preferred Share Paying Agent shall not pay the same until
the first succeeding Payment Date or, in the case of any payments which would otherwise be payable on any Redemption Date or the Stated
Maturity Date, until the first succeeding Business Day, upon which the Issuer notifies the Preferred Share Paying Agent in writing that
each condition is satisfied. Any amounts so retained will be held in the Preferred Share Distribution Account until such amounts are paid,
subject to the availability of such funds under Cayman Islands law to pay any liability of the Issuer. In the absence of such notification

been satisfied and shall pay the amounts due under this Agreement.

The Preferred Share Paying Agent
shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated, non-interest bearing trust account, which shall be designated as the
 “Preferred Share Distribution Account” for the benefit of the Issuer (the “Preferred Share Distribution Account”). 
The Preferred Share Paying Agent shall promptly credit all Available Funds to the Preferred Share Distribution Account. All sums payable
by the Preferred Share Paying Agent hereunder shall be paid out of the Preferred Share Distribution Account. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Preferred Share Distribution Account (and interest, if any, earned on amounts on deposit therein) shall be owned by the Issuer (or
the related REIT so long as the Issuer is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Section 3.4.           Redemption.

 

The Preferred Shares shall be
redeemed (in whole but not in part) by the Issuer at the Redemption Price on any Redemption Date or on the Stated Maturity Date (if not
redeemed earlier). Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if no funds are available to pay Holders pursuant to the Indenture and
this Agreement, the Issuer may redeem the Preferred Shares (in whole but not in part) for no consideration (i) on any Redemption
Date, (ii) on the Stated Maturity Date or (iii) upon an acceleration of the Notes as a result of an Event of Default, as defined
in the Indenture.

be required to make payments, including the payment of dividends, if there are sufficient funds in the Preferred Share Distribution Account
to make such payments.

 

(b)            Except
as otherwise required by applicable law, any funds deposited with the Preferred Share Paying Agent and held in the Preferred Share Distribution
Account or otherwise held for payment on the Preferred Shares and remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due
and payable shall be paid to the Issuer; and the Holder of such Preferred Shares shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment
of such amounts and all liability of the Preferred Share Paying Agent with respect to such funds (but only to the extent of the amounts
so paid to the Issuer) shall thereupon cease. The Preferred Share Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment,
may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ at the expense of the Issuer any reasonable means of notification of such release
of payment, including, but not limited to, arranging with the Preferred Share Registrar for the Preferred Share Registrar to mail notice
of such release to Holders whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the
Issuer or Preferred Share Paying Agent, as applicable, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

forth on Exhibit A hereto is a list of the Closing Date Collateral Interests sold to the Issuer on the Closing Date and certain
other information with respect to each of the Closing Date Collateral Interests. The Seller agrees to sell to the Issuer, and the Issuer
agrees to purchase from the Seller, all of the Closing Date Collateral Interests, in consideration of the transfer by the Issuer to,
or at the direction of, the Seller of (1) 100% of the Class F Notes, the Class G Notes and the Preferred Shares and (2) U.S.$685,766,000
(clauses (1) and (2), collectively, the “Purchase Price”). Immediately prior to such sale,

 

    4

    

    

 

the Seller hereby conveys and
assigns all right, title and interest it may have in such Closing Date Collateral Interests to the Issuer. The sale and transfer of the
Closing Date Collateral Interests to the Issuer is inclusive of all rights and obligations from the Closing Date forward, with respect
to such Closing Date Collateral Interests, provided, that the sale and transfer of Closing Date Collateral Interests that are
Transaction Participations are made subject to the rights and obligations of the Companion Participation Holder under the related Participation
Agreement, and provided, however, it expressly excludes any conveyance of any Retained Interest which shall remain the
property of the Seller and shall not be conveyed to the Issuer. The Issuer shall cause any Retained Interest to be paid to the Seller
(or the Seller’s designee) promptly upon receipt in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Servicing Agreement and
the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller is not transferring any obligation to fund any Future Funding Amounts under the
Participated Loans, all of which will remain the obligation of the party specified under the related Participation Agreement. Delivery
or transfer of the Closing Date Collateral Interests shall be made on May 14, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), at the
time and in the manner agreed upon by the parties. Upon receipt of evidence of the delivery or transfer of the Closing Date Collateral
Interests to the Issuer or its designee, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the Purchase Price in the manner agreed
upon by the Seller and the Issuer.

 

(b)          From
time to time, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the Companion Participation Acquisition Period,
the Seller may present Related Funded Companion Participations to the Issuer for purchase hereunder. If the Acquisition Criteria and other
conditions set forth in the Indenture, and the conditions set forth in Section 3 below, are satisfied with respect to such
Related Funded Companion Participations, the Issuer may purchase and the Seller shall sell and assign, without recourse, except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, to the Issuer, but subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, all of the right, title and
interest of the Seller in and to (i) such Related Funded Companion Participations as identified on the schedule attached to the related
subsequent transfer instrument (a “Subsequent Transfer Instrument”), which Subsequent Transfer Instrument shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and delivered by the Seller on the date of such sale (each, a “Subsequent
Seller Transfer Date”), and (ii) all amounts received or receivable on such Related Funded Companion Participations, whether
now existing or hereafter acquired, after the related Subsequent Seller Transfer Date (other than amounts due prior to the related Subsequent
Seller Transfer Date). Such sale and assignment of each such Related Funded Companion Participation to the Issuer is inclusive of all
rights and obligations from and after the applicable Subsequent Seller Transfer Date, with respect to such Related Funded Companion Participation,
provided, however, it expressly excludes any conveyance of any Retained Interest which shall remain the property of the
Seller and shall not be conveyed to the Issuer hereunder. The purchase price with respect to each such Related Funded Companion Participation
shall be at a price no greater than the outstanding principal balance of such Related Funded Companion Participation, as set forth in
the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument.

 

The
sale to the Issuer of each Related Funded Companion Participation identified on the schedule attached to the related Subsequent
Transfer Instrument shall be absolute and is intended by the Seller and the Issuer to constitute and to be treated as an absolute sale
of such Related Funded Companion Participation by the Seller to the Issuer, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances or rights of others from the Seller to the Issuer and such Related Funded Companion Participation shall not be part of the
Seller’s estate in the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Seller. Each schedule attached to a Subsequent Transfer Instrument
pursuant to a sale of one or more Related Funded Companion Participations is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

 

(c)           Within
45 days after the Closing Date, each UCC financing statement in favor of the Issuer that is required to be filed in accordance with the
definition of “Collateral Interest File” in the Indenture shall be submitted for filing. In the event that any such UCC financing
statement is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare
or

 

    5

    

    

 

cause the preparation of a
substitute therefor or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected
document for recording or filing, as appropriate, at the Seller’s expense. In the event that the Seller receives the original filed
copy, the Seller shall, or shall cause a third party vendor or any other party under its control to, promptly upon receipt of the original
recorded or filed copy (and in no event later than 5 Business Days following such receipt) deliver such original to the Custodian, with
evidence of filing thereon.

 

3.             Conditions.

 

The obligations of the parties
under this Agreement are subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(a)           the
representations and warranties contained herein shall be accurate and complete (i) as of the Closing Date, except as set forth in
the Exception Schedule, with respect to the Closing Date Collateral Interests and (ii) as of each Subsequent Seller Transfer Date,
except as set forth in the applicable Subsequent Transfer Instrument, with respect to any Related Funded Companion Participations acquired
hereunder on such Subsequent Seller Transfer Date;

 

(b)           on
the Closing Date and on each Subsequent Seller Transfer Date, as applicable, counsel for the Issuer shall have been furnished with all
such documents, certificates and opinions as such counsel may reasonably request in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of
any of the representations, warranties or statements of the Seller Parties, the performance of any of the Collateral Interests of the
Seller hereunder or the fulfillment of any of the conditions herein contained;

 

(c)           with
respect to the Closing Date Collateral Interests, the issuance of the Securities and receipt by the Issuer of full payment therefor; and

 

(d)            with
respect to the Related Funded Companion Participations sold on a Subsequent Seller Transfer Date, such Related Funded Companion Participations
shall, collectively and individually (as applicable, after giving effect to the sale and assignment of such Related Funded Companion Participations
to the Issuer) be acquired in accordance with the applicable terms of the Indenture and the purchase price therefor shall be paid to the
Seller.

 

4.            Covenants,
Representations and Warranties.

 

(a)           Each
party to this Agreement hereby represents and warrants to the other party that (i) it is duly organized or incorporated, as the case
may be, and validly existing as an entity under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, chartered or organized, (ii) it
has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and (iii) this Agreement has been duly authorized
by all necessary action, has been duly executed by one or more duly authorized officers and is the valid and binding agreement of such
party enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)          The
Seller further represents and warrants to the Issuer (i) with respect to the Closing Date Collateral Interests, as of the Closing
Date, and (ii) with respect to any Related Funded Companion Participations sold hereunder, as of the respective Subsequent Seller
Transfer Date, that:

 

(i)            immediately
prior to the sale of the Collateral Interests to the Issuer, the Seller shall own the Collateral Interests, shall have good and marketable
title thereto, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity, or encumbrance of any kind, and upon the
delivery or transfer of the Collateral Interests to the Issuer as contemplated herein, the Issuer shall

 

    6

    

    

 

receive good and
marketable title to the Collateral Interests, free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity or encumbrance
of any kind;

 

(ii)           the
Seller acquired its ownership in the Collateral Interests in good faith without notice of any adverse claim, and upon the delivery or
transfer of the Collateral Interests to the Issuer as contemplated herein, the Issuer shall acquire ownership in the Collateral Interests
in good faith without notice of any adverse claim;

 

(iii)          the
Seller has not assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered any interest in the Collateral Interests (or, if any such interest has been assigned,
pledged or otherwise encumbered, it has been released);

 

(iv)          none
of the execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of this Agreement shall (x) conflict with, result in any breach of or constitute
a default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, any term or provision
of the organizational documents of the Seller, or any material indenture, agreement, order, decree or other material instrument to which
the Seller is party or by which the Seller is bound which materially adversely affects the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations
hereunder or (y) violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller of any regulatory body, administrative
agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties which has a material adverse effect
upon the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

 

(v)           no
consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration or qualification with, any governmental body, agency or authority, nor
any consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor or lessor is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance
by the Seller of this Agreement the failure of which to obtain would have a material adverse effect except such as have been obtained
and are in full force and effect;

 

(vi)          it
has adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated
business operations. It is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due. It has not become or
is not presently, financially insolvent nor will it be made insolvent by virtue of its execution of or performance under any of the provisions
of this Agreement within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the insolvency laws of any jurisdiction. It has not entered into this Agreement
or the transactions effectuated hereby in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor;

 

(vii)         no
proceedings are pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it before any federal, state or other governmental agency, authority,
administrative or regulatory body, arbitrator, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, which, singularly or in the aggregate, could
materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; and

 

(viii)        the
consideration received by it upon the sale of the Collateral Interests owned by it constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent
value for such Collateral Interests.

 

(c)           The
Seller further represents and warrants to the Issuer (i) with respect to the Closing Date Collateral Interests, as of the Closing
Date, and (ii) with respect to any Related Funded Companion Participations sold hereunder, as of the respective Subsequent Seller
Transfer Date, that:

 

    7

    

    

 

(i)            the
Loan Documents with respect to each Collateral Interest do not prohibit the Issuer from granting a security interest in and assigning
and pledging such Collateral Interest to the Trustee;

 

(ii)           none
of the Collateral Interests will cause the Issuer to have payments subject to foreign or United States withholding tax;

 

(iii)          the
transfer of the Collateral Interests will be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale and/or
contribution of the Collateral Interests to the Issuer and not as a financing. The Issuer agrees that the transfer to the Issuer of the
Collateral Interests shall be reflected on the Issuer’s balance sheet and other financial statements as the purchase and/or acquisition
of such Collateral Interests by the Issuer from the Seller and not as a loan to the Issuer from the Seller. The Seller is not selling
the Collateral Interests and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer are not selling the Offered Notes with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any of the creditors of the Seller, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer;

 

(iv)          (A) with
respect to each Closing Date Collateral Interest, except as set forth in the Exception Schedule and (B) with respect to each Related
Funded Companion Participation sold hereunder, except as set forth in the applicable Subsequent Transfer Instrument, the representations
and warranties set forth in Exhibit B are true and correct in all material respects; and

 

(v)           the
Seller has delivered to the Issuer or its designee the documents required to be delivered with respect to each Collateral Interest set
forth in the definition of “Collateral Interest File” in the Indenture;

 

(d)           For
purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B, the phrases “to the Seller’s knowledge”
or “the 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 the Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting,
origination, servicing or sale of the Commercial Real Estate Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth herein. All information contained
in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Collateral Interest File shall be deemed to be within the knowledge and the
actual knowledge of the Seller. Wherever there is a reference to receipt by, or possession of, the Seller of any information or documents,
or to any action taken by the Seller or not taken by the Seller, such reference shall include the receipt or possession of such information
or documents by, or the taking of such action or the failure to take such action by, the Seller or any servicer acting on its behalf.

 

(e)           The
Seller shall, not later than ninety (90) days from discovery by the Seller or receipt of written notice from any party to the Indenture
and the Servicing Agreement of (i) its breach of a representation or a warranty pursuant to this Agreement that materially and adversely
affects the ownership interests of the Issuer (or the Trustee as its assignee) in a Collateral Interest or the value of a Collateral Interest
or the interests of the Noteholders therein (a “Material Breach”), or (ii) any Material Document Defect relating
to any Collateral Interest, (1) cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, provided, that, if such Material
Breach or Material Document Defect cannot be cured within such 90-day period (any such 90-day period, the “Initial Resolution
Period”), the Seller shall repurchase the affected Collateral Interest not later than the end of such Initial Resolution Period
at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that if the Seller certifies to the Issuer and the Trustee in writing that (x) any
such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, is capable of being cured in all material respects but not within
the Initial Resolution Period and (y) the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Breach
or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, then the Seller shall have an additional 90-day period to complete such cure or, failing
such, to repurchase the affected Collateral

 

    8

    

    

 

Interest (or the related Mortgaged Property); provided, further, that, if any
such Material Document Defect is still not cured in all material respects after the Initial Resolution Period and any such additional
90-day period solely due to the failure of the Seller to have received the recorded or filed document, then the Seller shall be entitled
to continue to defer its cure and repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Document Defect so long as the Seller certifies to
the Trustee every 30 days thereafter that such Material Document Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received
the recorded or filed document and that the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Document Defect (specifying the actions
being taken); and provided, further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Seller shall not be entitled to continue
to defer its cure and repurchase obligations in respect of any Material Document Defect for more than 18 months after the beginning of
the Initial Resolution Period with respect to such Material Document Defect, (2) subject to the consent of a Majority of the Holders
of each Class of Notes (excluding any Note held by the Seller or any of its affiliates), the Seller shall make a cash payment to
the Issuer in an amount that the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer determines is sufficient to compensate the Issuer for such breach
of representation or warranty or defect (such payment, a “Loss Value Payment”), which Loss Value Payment will be deemed
to cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect or (3) repurchase such Collateral Interest at the Repurchase Price. In addition,
with respect to any Combined Loan, if the Mortgage Loan portion thereof is repaid in full, but the Mezzanine Loan portion thereof remains
outstanding (a “Combined Loan Repurchase Event”), the Seller will be required to repurchase the Collateral Interest
from the Issuer at the Repurchase Price. Such repurchase, cure or Loss Value Payment obligation by the Seller and GPMT’s guarantee
of such obligations pursuant to Section 13 shall be the Issuer’s sole remedy for any Material Breach, Material Document
Defect or Combined Loan Repurchase Event pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Collateral Interest sold to the Issuer by the
Seller.

 

(f)            Each
Seller Party hereby acknowledges and consents to the collateral assignment by the Issuer of this Agreement and all right, title and interest
thereto to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as required in Sections 15.1(f)(i) and (ii) of the Indenture.

 

(g)           The
Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it shall perform any provisions of the Indenture made expressly applicable to the Seller by the
Indenture, as required by Section 15.1(f)(i) of the Indenture.

 

(h)           Each
Seller Party hereby covenants and agrees that all of the representations, covenants and agreements made by or otherwise entered into
by it in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as required by Section 15.1(f)(ii) of the Indenture
and agrees that enforcement of any rights hereunder by the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, shall have the same force and effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or executed by the Issuer but that
such rights and remedies shall not be any greater than the rights and remedies of the Issuer under Section 4(e) above.

 

(i)            On
or prior to the Closing Date or each Subsequent Seller Transfer Date, as applicable, the Seller shall deliver the Loan Documents to the
Issuer or, at the direction of the Issuer, to the Custodian, with respect to each Collateral Interest sold to the Issuer hereunder. The
Seller hereby covenants and agrees, as required by Section 15.1(f)(iii) of the Indenture, that it shall deliver to the Trustee
duplicate original copies of all notices, statements, communications and instruments delivered or required to be delivered to the Issuer
by each party pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(j)            Each
Seller Party hereby covenants and agrees, as required by Section 15.1(f)(iv) of the Indenture, that it shall not enter into
any agreement amending, modifying or terminating this Agreement (other than in respect of an amendment or modification to cure any inconsistency,
ambiguity or manifest error, in each case, so long as such amendment or modification does not affect in any material

 

    9

    

    

 

respects the interests
of any Secured Party), without notifying the Rating Agencies through the 17g-5 Website as set forth in the Indenture.

 

(k)           Sub-REIT
and the Issuer hereby covenant, that at all times (i) Sub-REIT will qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the
Issuer will qualify as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of Sub-REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (ii) based
on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT other than
Sub-REIT, or (iii) based on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a
trade or business within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes (which Opinion of Counsel may be conditioned on compliance
with certain restrictions on the investment or other activities of the Issuer and/or the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer).

 

(l)            Except
for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to provide procedures involving a comparison of information
in loan files for the Collateral Interests to information on a data tape relating to the Collateral Interests (the “Accountants’
Due Diligence Report”), the Seller Parties have not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain)
any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”)) in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and the Offering Memorandum and, except
for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Seller Parties have not employed (and, through and
including the Closing Date, will not employ) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services”
within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Offering
Memorandum. The Placement Agents are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this Section 4(l).

 

(m)          The
Issuer (i) prepared or caused to be prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G (each, a “Form 15G”)
containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting all other requirements of that Form 15G,
Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act, any other rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Exchange
Act; (ii) provided a copy of the final draft of the Form 15G to the Placement Agents at least six business days before the
first sale of any Offered Notes; and (iii) furnished each such Form 15G to the Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR
at least five business days before the first sale of any Offered Notes as required by Rule 15Ga-2 under the Exchange Act.

 

5.             Sale.

 

It
is the intention of the parties hereto that each transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale
of the Collateral Interests from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the Collateral Interests shall not
be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy
law. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, the transfer and assignment contemplated hereby is held not
to be a sale (for non-tax purposes), this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and, in such event, the
Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and the Seller hereby grants, to the Issuer a security interest in the Collateral Interests, in
each case, other than the Retained Interest, if any, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and its assignees as security for the Seller’s
obligations hereunder and the Seller consents to the pledge of the Collateral Interests to the Trustee.

 

6.             Non-Petition.

 

Each
Seller Party agrees not to institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency, winding-up, moratorium or

 

    10

    

    

 

liquidation proceedings or
other proceedings under U.S. federal or state bankruptcy or similar laws in any jurisdiction until at least one year and one day or,
if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect after the payment in full of all Notes issued under the Indenture. This Section 6
shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

 

7.            Amendments.

 

This Agreement may not be modified,
amended, altered or supplemented, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement by the parties hereto and satisfaction
of the Rating Agency Condition.

 

8.            Communications.

 

Except

9.             Governing
Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.

 

(a)          THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF
LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN TITLE 14 OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

 

(b)          The
parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York and any court in the State of New

 

    11

    

    

 

York located in the City and County of New York, and any appellate court hearing appeals
from the courts mentioned above, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it and to or in connection with this Agreement or
the transaction contemplated hereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard or determined in such New York State court
or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action, suit 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. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense
or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts,
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in any inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper
or that the subject matter thereof may not be litigated in or by such courts.

 

(c)           To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall not seek and hereby waive the right to any review of the judgment of
any such court by any court of any other nation or jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of such judgment.

 

(d)           The
Issuer has appointed Corporation Service Company, as its agent for service of process in New York in respect of any such suit, action
or proceeding. The Issuer agrees that service of such process upon such agent shall constitute personal service of such process upon
it.

 

(e)           Each
Seller Party irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing by certified mail,
return receipt requested, or delivery requiring proof of delivery of copies of such process to it at the address set forth in Section 8
hereof.

 

10.          Counterparts.

 

This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party (and
any respective successors and permitted assigns thereof) when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of such party
by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other
electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case, to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual
signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence as
an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect
to, any faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate,
confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original
counterpart to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings
when required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

 

11.           Limited
Recourse Agreement.

 

All
obligations of the Issuer arising hereunder or in connection herewith are limited in recourse to the Collateral and to the extent the
proceeds of the Collateral, when applied in accordance with

 

    12

    

    

 

the
Priority of Payments, are insufficient to meet the obligations of the Issuer hereunder in full, the Issuer shall have no further liability
in respect of any such outstanding obligations and any obligations of, and claims against, the Issuer, arising hereunder or in connection
herewith, shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. The obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in connection herewith will
be solely the corporate obligations of the Issuer and the Seller Parties will not have recourse to any of the directors, officers,
employees, shareholders, incorporators or affiliates of the Issuer with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities
or other obligations in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby or in connection herewith. This Section 11 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

 

12.          Assignment
and Assumption.

 

With respect to the Collateral
Interests that are subject to a Participation Agreement, the parties hereto intend that the provisions of this Section 12
serve as an assignment and assumption agreement between the Seller, as the assignor, and the Issuer, as the assignee. Accordingly, the
Seller hereby (and in accordance with and subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement) assigns, grants, sells, transfers,

by GPMT.

 

(a)          GPMT
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Issuer the due and punctual payment of all sums due by, and the performance
of all obligations of, the Seller under Section 4(e) of this Agreement, as and when the same shall become due and payable
(after giving effect to any applicable grace period) according to the terms hereof. In the case of the failure of the Seller to make
any such payment or perform such obligation as and when due, GPMT hereby agrees to make such payment or cause such payment to be made
or perform such obligation or cause such obligation to be performed, promptly upon written demand by the Issuer to GPMT, but any delay
in providing such notice shall not under any circumstances reduce the liability of GPMT or operate as a waiver of Issuer’s right
to demand payment or performance.

 

(b)          This
guarantee shall be a guaranty of payment and performance, and the obligations of GPMT under this guarantee shall be continuing, absolute
and unconditional. GPMT waives any and all defenses it may have arising out of: (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement;
(ii) the absence of any action to enforce the same; (iii) the rendering of any judgment against the Seller or any action to
enforce the same; (iv) any waiver or consent by the Issuer or any amendment or other modification to this Agreement; (v) any
defense to payment hereunder based upon suretyship defenses; (vi) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller, (vii) any defense
based on (A) the entity status of the Seller, (B) the power and authority of the Seller to enter into this Agreement and to
perform its obligations hereunder or (C) the legality, validity and enforceability of Seller’s obligation under this Agreement,
or (viii) any other defense, circumstances or limitation of any nature whatsoever that would constitute a legal or equitable discharge
of a guarantor or other third party obligor. This guarantee shall continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with its
terms notwithstanding the renewal, extension, modification, or waiver, in whole or in part, of any of Seller’s obligations under
this Agreement or the Indenture that are subject to this guarantee.

(c)           GPMT
waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices and demands
relating to this Agreement and (ii) any requirement that the Issuer proceed first against the Seller under this Agreement or otherwise
exhaust any right, power or remedy under this Agreement before proceeding hereunder.
