this Agreement, (a) Seller shall pay to Buyer the additional Transaction Fee and (b) the Facility Amount shall not exceed $150,000,000;
and

 

(viii)    Seller
shall have paid to Buyer all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer, including reasonable attorney’s

    	 	33	 

     

    

 

For
the avoidance of doubt, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever to make
any future or subsequent advances under the Purchased Asset Documents for any Purchased Asset, and that the obligations of Buyer
to make any Subsequent Purchase hereunder in connection with such future funding obligations of Seller are pursuant to and set
forth in this Agreement only (i.e., in no event shall Buyer be bound by or liable under the Purchased Asset Documents for any Purchased
Asset).

 

(l)        Seller
shall have two (2) options to extend the Facility Expiration Date, the first for an additional one (1) year term (the “First
Extension Period”) ending on June 15, 2021 (the “First Extended Facility Expiration Date”) and the
second for an additional one (1) year term (the “Second Extension Period”) ending on June 15, 2022 (the “Second
Extended Facility Expiration Date” and, together with the First Extended Facility Termination Date, the “Extended
Facility Expiration Date”), which, in each case, shall be exercisable by written request of Seller delivered no earlier
than ninety (90) days before and no later than thirty (30) days before the then applicable Facility Expiration Date. The extension
of the then applicable Facility Expiration Date shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (a) no Default or Event
of Default exists on the date of the request to extend such Facility Expiration Date or on the then applicable Facility Expiration
Date, (b) Seller shall have made a timely request to extend the then applicable Facility Expiration Date, (c) Seller shall have
paid to Buyer the Extension Fee on or before the applicable Facility Expiration Date, (d) the LTV for each Purchased Asset shall

and will be on the first day of the First Extension Period and Second Extension Period, as applicable, in compliance with all covenants
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (h) Buyer’s receipt of an officer’s certificate from Seller
signed by a duly appointed officer of Seller (1) certifying as to the matters contained in clauses (d), (e), (f), and (g) above
and (2) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties of Seller contained
in Article 9 of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are true and correct on and as of the then applicable
Facility Expiration Date, and (i) Buyer’s receipt of an officer’s certificate from Guarantor signed by a duly appointed
officer of Guarantor (1) certifying as to the matters contained in clause (f) above, including Article 5 of the Guaranty
and (2) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, the representations and warranties of Guarantor contained
in Article 3 of the Guaranty are true and correct on and as of the then applicable Facility Expiration Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing to the contrary, if a Purchased Asset has a maturity date that occurs later in time then the then current Facility
Expiration Date, Buyer agrees to extend the Facility Expiration Date, First Extended Facility Expiration Date and Second Extended
Facility Expiration Date for such specific Purchased Asset only and the Facility Amount associated with it to accommodate such
Purchased Asset (as such dates and amount shall be set forth in the Confirmation with respect to such Purchased Asset).

		4.	MARGIN CALLS; REBALANCING

 

(a)        (i)
If at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Purchased Asset Credit Event or on the date on which any Subsequent
Purchase is made with respect to a Purchased Asset, Buyer determines that a Margin Deficit exists, then Buyer may by notice to
Seller (a “Margin Call”) given in accordance with Section 15 hereof, require Seller, to (A) if
Seller so requests and Buyer consents in its sole and absolute discretion, agree with Seller to a Purchase Price Reallocation (as
defined below) or (B) transfer to Buyer cash, in an amount sufficient so that no Margin Deficit shall exist. Upon the payment of
cash, as outlined in the preceding sentence, the Margin Deficit shall be deemed cured. Seller’s failure to cure any
Margin Deficit as required by the preceding sentence prior to expiration of the time period set forth in Section 4(b) below
shall constitute an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents and shall entitle Buyer to exercise its remedies under Section
14 of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the liquidation remedy provided for in Section 14(iv) of this Agreement.
A “Purchase Price Reallocation” shall mean an increase in the amount of the then Purchase Price of any one or more
Purchased Assets (without any additional transfer of cash to Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset(s)) the Purchase Price
of which is less than the Maximum Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset(s) (such difference, a “Margin Excess”),
in an amount sufficient to eliminate the Margin Deficit (but not in excess of such Margin Deficit).

 

(b)        If
any Margin Call is given by Buyer under Section 4(a) of this Agreement at or prior to the Margin Notice Deadline on any
Business Day, the Seller shall transfer cash as provided in Section 4(a) by no later than 5:00 p.m. CST on the date that
is the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Business Day on which the Margin Call is given. If any Margin Call is given by Buyer
under Section 4(a) of this Agreement after the Margin Notice Deadline on any Business Day, the Seller shall transfer cash
as provided in Section 4(a) by no later than 9:30 a.m. CST on the date that is the sixth (6th) Business Day following the Business
Day on which the Margin Call is given. Notice required pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement may be given by any means
set forth in Section 15 hereof. The failure of Buyer on any one or more occasions to exercise its rights under Section
4(a) of this Agreement shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right
of Buyer or Seller to do so at a later date. Buyer and Seller agree that any failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights under
Section 4(a) of this Agreement shall not limit such party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law
or in any way create additional rights for such party.

 

(c)        Any
cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement with respect to any Purchased Assets shall be applied
first to reduce the Repurchase Price of the Purchased Asset giving rise to the Margin Deficit until no Margin Deficit exists, and,
if any amount remains, to reduce the outstanding Repurchase Price of other Purchased Assets in accordance with the directions of
Seller, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

(d)        Seller
shall repurchase a Purchased Asset that has become an Impaired Asset, within five (5) Business Days following the earlier of the
date (i) on which Seller is notified by Buyer that a Purchased Asset is an Impaired Asset or (ii) Seller otherwise becomes aware
that such Purchased Asset has become an Impaired Asset.

 

    	 	35	 

     

    

 

		5.	INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

 

(a)        The
Cash Management Account shall be established at the Depository concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
Seller and Buyer. Buyer shall have sole dominion and control (including, without limitation, “control” within the meaning
of Section 9-104(a) of the UCC) over the Cash Management Account. All Income in respect of the Purchased Assets, any payments in
respect of associated Hedging Transactions with respect to any or all of the Purchased Assets, and any interest received from the
reinvestment of such Income, shall be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account and shall be remitted by the Depository
in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 5 and Section 14(i) of this Agreement.

 

(b)        No
later than the Initial Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver to Servicer, a Servicer Acknowledgement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit X to this Agreement, instructing the Servicer to deposit Income collected in respect of the Purchased Assets
in the Cash Management Account, and to service the Purchased Assets pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. If Servicer forwards any
Income with respect to a Purchased Asset to Seller rather than directly to the Cash Management Account, Seller shall (i) redeliver
an executed copy of the Servicer Acknowledgement to the Servicer and make other commercially reasonable efforts to cause Servicer
to forward such amounts directly to the Cash Management Account and (ii) immediately deposit in the Cash Management Account any
such amounts.

 

(c)        On
each Remittance Date, Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued during the related
Pricing Rate Period for the related Transactions to the extent not paid pursuant to either of the Sections 5(d)(i) below.

 

(d)        So
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income and Principal Payments received by the
Depository in respect of the Purchased Assets and the associated Hedging Transactions (if any) during each Collection Period shall
be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date as follows:

 

(i)        first,

to remit to Buyer an amount equal to any premium or accrued interest included in the Purchase Price for Purchased Assets;

 

(iii)       third,
to remit to Buyer an amount equal to any and all fees, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys;
fees and expenses and enforcement costs, due and owing by Seller to Buyer (or any other Indemnified Party) as of such Remittance
Date;

 

(iv)       fourth,
to remit to Buyer (A) its proportionate share of any Principal Payment received by Seller with respect to a Purchased Asset, in
an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such Principal Payment received and (y) the Purchase Price Percentage or (B)
if such Principal Payment reduces the Mortgagor’s obligations under the Mortgage Note to $0, the Repurchase Price of the
Related Purchased Asset.

 

    	 	36	 

     

    

 

(v)        fifth,
if a Margin Deficit exists with respect to any Purchased Asset, to remit to Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate such outstanding
Margin Deficit (without limiting Seller’s obligation to satisfy a Margin Deficit in a timely manner as required pursuant
to Section 4);

 

(vi)       sixth,
to remit to Buyer to pay in full any other outstanding obligation of Seller then due and payable to Buyer or its Affiliates under
this Agreement;

 

(vii)     seventh,
all remaining Income shall be remitted to Seller.

 

(e)        Notwithstanding
the above, to the extent a Principal Payment on a Purchased Asset in excess of $100,000 is received in the Cash Management Account
on any date, the Buyer shall direct the Depository to distribute such amount on the Business Day immediately succeeding notice
to Buyer from Seller of deposit in immediately available funds of such amount in the Cash Management Account, as follows:

 

(i)        first,
to remit to Buyer (A) its proportionate share of such Principal Payment, in an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount
of such Principal Payment received and (y) the Purchase Price Percentage, together with accrued Price Differential on such proportionate
share or (B) if such Principal Payment reduced the Mortgagor’s obligation under the Mortgage Note to $0, the Repurchase Price
for the related Purchased Asset;

 

(ii)      
second, if a Margin Deficit exists or would, upon the occurrence of such Principal Payment, exist with respect to any Purchased
Asset, including the Purchased Asset that is the subject of such Principal Payment (after application of clause (i) above), to
remit to Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate such outstanding Margin Deficit (without limiting Seller’s obligation to
satisfy a Margin Deficit in a timely manner as required pursuant to Section 4);

 

(iii)        third,
to pay in full any obligations of Seller to Buyer, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, that was not paid when
due on any prior Remittance Date; and

 

(iv)      fourth,
all remaining amounts shall be remitted to Seller.

 

(f)        If
a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (including all Principal Payments) received by
the Depository in respect of the Purchased Assets and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied by the Depository on
the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account as follows (provided
that Buyer may change the order and manner of any such application from time to time in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion):

 

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

 

    	 	37	 

     

    

 

(ii)       second,
to remit to Buyer an amount equal to any and all fees, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses and enforcement costs, due and owing by Seller pursuant to this Agreement as of such Remittance Date;

 

(iii)      third,
to remit to Depository and Custodian an amount equal to the depository and custodial fees due and payable;

 

(iv)       fourth,
to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets, to the extent not paid pursuant to
the preceding clauses (i) through (iii) (to be applied in reduction of the aggregate Repurchase Price in such amounts, order and
manner as determined by Buyer, until such Repurchase Price has been reduced to zero (0));

 

(v)        fifth,
to remit to Buyer or its Affiliates to pay in full any other outstanding obligation of Seller to Buyer or its Affiliates; and

 

(vi)      sixth,
any remainder to Seller

 

(g)        Buyer
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
amounts held by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer and any other obligations at any time owing by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer to
or for the credit or the account of Seller against any of or all the obligations of Seller now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have made any demand under this Agreement (and without prior notice to Seller),
whereupon such obligations owing by Buyer or its Affiliates to Seller shall, to the extent (and only to the extent) of such set
off actually made by Buyer, be discharged. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to deliver prior notice to Guarantor and Seller before
exercising the rights set forth in this Section 5(g), but the failure to do so shall not prevent Buyer from exercising such
rights and shall not give rise to any claim by Guarantor or Seller against Buyer. The rights of Buyer under this Section 5(g)
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Buyer may have.

 

(h)        At
the end of each Collection Period and prior to the Remittance Date for such Collection Period, Seller shall provide to Buyer a
statement and analysis of all Income for such period, indicating the Purchased Assets to which each element of Income relates and
the amounts constituting interest on each Purchased Asset, Principal Payments on each Purchased Asset with respect to each Purchased
Asset and other Income.

 

		6.	PRECAUTIONARY SECURITY INTEREST

 

(a)        Buyer
and Seller intend that each Transaction hereunder be a sale or other absolute Conveyance to Buyer of the applicable Purchased Assets
and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by such Purchased Assets. However, to protect and preserve Buyer’s rights with
respect to the Purchased Assets, including any Conveyance thereof pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Documents, in
the event any such Transaction is deemed to be other than a sale or other absolute Conveyance, Seller hereby pledges all of its
right, title, and interest in, to and under and grants a lien on, and security interest in and right of set-off against the property
set forth in sub-clauses (i) – (vii) below and any and all interests of Seller therein, 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 the Facility Obligations:

 

    	 	38	 

     

    

 

(i)        The
Mortgage Notes, the Purchased Assets, the Purchased Asset Documents, all Servicing Rights, all “securities accounts”
(as defined in Section 8-501 (a) of the UCC) to which any or all of the Purchased Assets or any proceeds thereof are credited and
all “securities entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) therein;

 

(ii)       the
Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, insurance relating to the Purchased Assets, and all “deposit accounts” (as
defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC, including, without limitation, collection and escrow accounts) and securities accounts
relating to the Purchased Assets;

 

(iii)      all
of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transaction Documents and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Documents;

 

(iv)      all
Hedging Transactions and all agreements, instruments and other documents evidencing and/or securing all Hedging Transactions;

 

(v)       all
“general intangibles” (including without limitation “payment intangibles”), “accounts,” “chattel
paper,” “investment property,” “documents” and “instruments” as defined in the UCC relating
to or constituting any and all of the foregoing;

 

(vi)      all
“supporting obligations” and “letter of credit rights” as defined in the UCC relating to or constituting
any and all of the foregoing; and

 

(vii)     all
replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments, Income and profits of, tort claims, insurance claims and
other rights to payments, and records (but excluding any financial models or other proprietary information) and files relating
to any and all of any of the foregoing.

 

(b)        Without
limiting Section 6(a), to secure payment of the Facility Obligations owing to Buyer, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a security
interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located: 

 

(i)        the
Funding Account, the Cash Management Account and any subaccount thereof and all financial assets (including, without limitation,
all securities entitlements with respect to all financial assets) from time to time on deposit in or credited to the Funding Account
or Cash Management Account; and

 

(ii)        any
and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

 

    	 	39	 

     

    

 

(c)        Buyer’s
security interest in a Purchased Asset, or the Collateral as a whole, shall terminate only upon (i) in the case of an individual
Purchased Asset, the repurchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Collateral as
a whole, the repayment in full of all amounts payable to Buyer and termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement
and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to
this Section 6, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial
Code (the “UCC”) and the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any other applicable jurisdiction. In furtherance
of the foregoing, (a) Seller, at its 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 Buyer upon completion thereof, (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 (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted
to Buyer hereunder), it being agreed that Seller shall pay any and all fees required in connection therewith, and (c) Seller hereby
authorizes Buyer, at Seller’s cost and expense, to prepare and file any and all Filings, which such Filings may include a
specific collateral description (not an “all assets of the debtor” description) or a similarly generic collateral description.
In addition, Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to make Filings, at the sole cost and expense of Seller, in such locations as Buyer
may determine to be reasonably necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain priority of the security interest granted hereby.

 

(d)        If
any Transaction is deemed to be other than a sale or other absolute Conveyance, (i) Buyer shall have all of the rights and remedies
provided to a secured party by Requirements of Law (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and the
right to set off any mutual debt and claim) and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller, (ii) without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of the
Facility Obligations, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency, (iii) the possession by Buyer or any
of its agents, including Custodian, of the Purchased Asset Documents, the Purchased Assets and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents, securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured
party for purposes of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law, and (iv) notifications to Persons
(other than Buyer) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons (other than Buyer) holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law.
For the avoidance of doubt, (x) each Purchased Asset secures the Facility Obligations with respect to all other Transactions and
all other Purchased Assets, including any Purchased Assets that are junior in priority to the Purchased Asset in question, and
(y) if an Event of Default exists, no Purchased Assets relating to a Purchased Assets will be released from Buyer’s lien
or transferred to Seller until the Facility Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Facility
Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller.

 

(e)        The
grant of a security interest under this Article 6 shall not constitute or result in the creation or assumption by Buyer
of any obligation of Seller or any other Person in connection with any Purchased Assets, whether or not Buyer exercises any right
with respect thereto. Seller shall remain liable under the Purchased Assets and Purchased Asset Documents to perform all of Seller’s
duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if the Transaction Documents had not been executed.

 

    	 	40	 

     

    

 

(f)        Seller
agrees, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim
or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality
where any Purchased Assets may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or foreclosure
of any security interest hereunder, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets, or the final and absolute putting into
possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time
claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any
and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees
that Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Purchased
Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Buyer or such court may determine.

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

 

(a)        Title
to all Purchased Assets, including the Servicing Rights related thereto, shall pass to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date, and
Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets, causing the Purchased Assets to be split
into senior and one or more participation interests in whatever proportion Buyer deems, creating one or more senior and subordinate
obligations or multiple tranches of obligations or otherwise selling, assigning, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating,
or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets (any of the foregoing, a “Secondary Market Transaction”), provided that
in no event shall Buyer create a “taxable mortgage pool” as defined in Section 7701(i) of the Code, and provided further
that any of the above actions shall be taken at Buyer’s sole expense, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its
obligations to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement or of Buyer’s obligation
to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Seller shall, at
no additional expense to Seller, cooperate reasonably with Buyer to facilitate any Secondary Market Transaction, which cooperation
shall continue until Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are indefeasibly repaid in full. Any Secondary Market Transaction
shall not affect the aggregate Price Differential, Repurchase Date or other economic terms hereof and shall not materially increase
or decrease the obligations and liabilities, or rights, of Seller hereunder other than in a de minimis respect. Notwithstanding
the foregoing to the contrary, prior to an Event of Default, Buyer agrees that it shall not assign its rights and obligations under
the Transaction Documents and/or any Transaction to a Prohibited Assignee or to any Person that is not a Qualified Transferee.
In the event Buyer participates or assigns less than all of its interests in the Transaction Documents or under any Transaction,
Buyer shall (i) remain the agent for all matters involving the Facility and the administration thereof, and shall control decision
making with respect to a Purchased Asset, determine whether to purchase an Eligible Asset and determine the Market Value of a Purchased
Asset and (ii) Seller shall only be required to deal with Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer to which Buyer shall have specifically
delegated such responsibility subject to the terms of this Agreement) unless Buyer shall no longer hold any interest in the Facility,
in which case one holder of such interests shall be appointed agent to deal directly with Seller. Any such assignment, participation,
syndication, or securitization shall remain subject to the rights of Seller under this Agreement

 

    	 	46	 

     

    

 

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

 

(c)        In
connection with any repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller, Buyer shall transfer the Purchased Asset free and clear of any
Secondary Market Transaction (including, without limitation, release of any participation interests or security interest created
thereby).

 

(d)        The
rights and obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents and under the Transactions shall not be assigned by Seller without
the prior written consent of Buyer.

 

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

 

(f)        In
addition to the foregoing, Buyer may, at any time in its sole discretion, pledge or grant a Lien in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement (including any rights to Purchased Security and any rights to payment of the Repurchase Price) to secure obligations
to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of Seller; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest
would release Buyer from any of its obligations under this Agreement, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for Buyer as a
party to this Agreement.

 

(g)        Buyer
shall provide Seller written notice of any such Secondary Market Transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date
of such Secondary Market Transaction.

(ii)         Within

quarterly asset summaries (if any);

 

(v)         Such
other information regarding the financial condition, operations, business or cash flow of Seller and Guarantor as Buyer may reasonably
request to determine (i) compliance with any covenant set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document or (ii) the existence
of a Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit; and

 

(vi)        If

contemplated term (or remaining term) of this Agreement, due to satisfaction of another exception to holding Plan Assets (other
than the Operating Company exceptions), then at the times the certificate required in Section 11(j)(iv) is delivered to
Buyer, Seller or Guarantor shall deliver a No Plan Asset Certificate to Buyer.

by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with
GAAP.

 

(n)          Seller
will maintain records with respect to the Collateral and the conduct and operation of its business with no less a degree of prudence
than if the Collateral were held by Seller for its own account and will furnish Buyer, upon request by Buyer or Buyer’s designated
representative, with information reasonably obtainable by Seller with respect to the Collateral and the conduct and operation of
its business.

 

(o)          In
the event that a Government Authority deems the transactions contemplated herein to be a “securitization”, Buyer will
be required by such Governmental Authority to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the securitization exposure to the satisfaction
of such Governmental Authority. Seller and Guarantor agree to cooperate with Buyer’s requirement to satisfy specific due
diligence requirements in connection therewith and shall deliver such information as is reasonably requested by Buyer with respect
to the Facility and the Purchased Assets, including, but not limited to, (i) structural features, which would include, contractual

to the Purchased Asset Documents, Buyer shall maintain the same.

Omitted.

shall not, except in the case of any resignation of an Independent Director or other circumstance affecting any Independent Director
or any Person providing the services of any then serving Independent Director, replace any Independent Director without at least
10 Business Days prior written notice to, and with the prior consent of, Buyer and, in any event shall only do so with an “Independent

		14.	REMEDIES

 

If an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing with respect to Seller, 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 notice
is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), 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”).

 

(ii)         If
Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Section 14(i) of this Agreement:

 

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

 

		(B)	to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction
(determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased monthly on each Remittance Date by the aggregate amount obtained
by daily application during the related Pricing Rate Period of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during
the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as
so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction (decreased
by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by the Depository or Seller from time to time pursuant to Section 5 of this
Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 14(iii)
of this Agreement); and

 

    	 	66	 

     

    

  

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

 

(iii)        Buyer
may, in its sole discretion (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory
any or all of the Purchased Assets or (B) elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give credit for
such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price
for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition
of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Section 14(iii) shall be applied against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price
for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents.

 

(iv)        The
parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day or in
a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In
view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets 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 discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets,
and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute
a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.

 

(v)         Seller
shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by
Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, (B) consequential damages, including,
without limitation, all costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or Hedging 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 with respect
to Seller.

 

(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, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured
financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, 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 set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of Seller’s
obligations to Buyer, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

 

    	 	67	 

     

    

  

(vii)       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. 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. Seller also waives any defense
Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or
from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are
responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

 

(ix)         To
the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Buyer to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Seller acknowledges
and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Buyer (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Buyer
to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished
products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain
or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral
to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove
liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Persons obligated on Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral
through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact
other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Seller, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such
Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral
is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets
of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets,
(ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession
or quiet enjoyment, (xi) reserved, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Buyer, to obtain the services of other brokers,
investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Buyer in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral.
Seller acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 14(ix) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or
omissions by Buyer would not be commercially unreasonable in Buyer's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other
actions or omissions by Buyer shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section
14(ix). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 14(ix) shall be construed to grant
any rights to Seller or to impose any duties on Buyer that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable
law in the absence of this Section 14(ix).

 

    	 	68	 

     

    

  

(x)          Buyer
shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, Seller, any other obligor,
guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the obligations of Seller hereunder or to pursue or exhaust
any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Buyer shall
not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the obligations of Seller hereunder or to resort to the Collateral
or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder or under any other document or instrument executed
in connection herewith shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, Seller absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes
the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Buyer, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption
or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision,
might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the
power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.

 

(xi)         Seller
hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that
Buyer may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest.

 

(xii)        Buyer,
by entering into the Transactions, shall not have, does not assume and shall have no obligation to make “future advances”
or other additional advances of loan proceeds under any of the Purchased Assets, all of which obligations shall be retained by
Seller and fully and timely performed by Seller.

of an Event of Default subject to Buyer’s rights hereunder. Seller agrees and acknowledges that Buyer may, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, terminate the aforementioned grant to Seller and grant, transfer, assign or
sell the right to service each Purchased Asset to another Person at such time and on such date as Buyer may determine in its sole
discretion. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all voting

proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other
records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the
Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all rights relating to the Purchased
Assets and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section
24 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer subject to the Servicing Agreement. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing
Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

 

(c)          Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the
Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis or (ii) terminate Servicer or any sub-servicer of the Purchased Assets with or without
cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have sole control over all decisions, approvals or determinations made with
respect to the servicing and administration of the Purchased Assets and the exercise of all rights and remedies with respect to
the Purchased Assets and the related loan documents evidencing and securing the Purchased Assets, subject to the terms hereof and
of the Servicing Agreement, for so long as it remains in effect.

 

(d)          Seller
shall not employ sub-servicers to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Buyer; provided that the foregoing

Agreements with respect to the Purchased Assets to Buyer, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including this Section 24.

Agreement, except as provided in this Section 24, without the prior written consent of Buyer.

 

(e)          Seller
shall cause Servicer and any sub-servicers engaged on behalf of Seller to execute a Servicer Acknowledgement or similar letter
agreement with Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Assets and Servicing Agreements and agreeing that Servicer
and any sub-servicer (if applicable) shall deposit all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets in the Cash Management Account
no less often than monthly on or prior to the related Remittance Date.

 

(f)          The
payment of servicing fees to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding under any
Transaction and this Agreement for so long as Servicer is an Affiliate of Seller.

 

    	 	74	 

     

    

  

(g)          Upon
the failure of the Underlying Obligor or other obligor under any Purchased Asset to make any required payment of principal, interest
or other amounts due under such Purchased Asset, or otherwise to perform fully any material covenants or other obligations under
any of the related loan documents, in either case within any applicable grace period, Seller or Servicer shall promptly notify
Buyer in writing, by e-mail and by fax. Seller (or Buyer, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
at Buyer’s option) shall issue notices of default, declare events of default, declare due the entire outstanding principal
balance, and otherwise take all actions under the related loan documents evidencing and securing the Purchased Asset.

 

(h)          Except
as otherwise provided in a written consent delivered to Seller by Buyer, Seller shall not, nor cause or permit any Servicer or
sub-servicer to, obtain or cause Buyer to obtain title to any Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Purchased Asset
as a result or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take other action with respect
to, any Mortgaged Property or other collateral directly or indirectly securing such Purchased Asset, if, as a result of any such
action, Buyer would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee in possession” of, or to be an “owner”
or “operator” of, such Mortgaged Property or other collateral directly or indirectly securing such Purchased Asset
within the meaning of any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or statute (including, without limitation, any Environmental
Laws) or a “discharger or responsible party” thereunder. In the event that title to any of the Mortgaged Properties
or other collateral securing such Purchased Asset is acquired by Buyer or Persons designated by Buyer or by a third party at a
foreclosure or trustee’s sale, the servicing rights of Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset shall terminate, unless
Buyer shall have agreed or directed in writing that Seller shall continue to perform servicing with respect to any such Mortgaged
Property or other collateral.

 

		25.	MISCELLANEOUS

 

(a)          Time
is of the essence (taking into account any notice and cure periods provided in the Transaction Documents) under the Transaction
Documents and all Transactions thereunder and all references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of the action
unless otherwise expressly stated in the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)          All
rights, remedies and powers of Buyer hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or
exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Buyer whether under law, equity or agreement. In
addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party
under the UCC.

 

(c)          The
Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of
such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument

 

(d)          The
headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction
of the Transaction Documents.

 

    	 	75	 

     

    

  

(e)          Without
limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, and subject, where applicable, to the terms of the Fee
Letter, Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including appraisal fees, reasonable fees and
expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation
of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder. Seller agrees
to pay Buyer on demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) of any subsequent enforcement
of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets,
or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection; compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral
and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims
of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable costs
and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Cash Management
Account and registering the Collateral in the name of Buyer or its nominee following the occurrence and continuance of an Event
of Default. Furthermore, Buyer shall have the right to order an Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset
(i) no more than every twelve (12) months, to determine whether such Purchased Asset is an Impaired Asset, (ii) if Buyer determines
that a Material Adverse Change has occurred with respect to such Mortgaged Property, (iii) if Seller or Guarantor has ordered an
appraisal of such Mortgaged Property that is not an Appraisal or Seller or Guarantor have failed to deliver a copy to Buyer, (iv)
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents for such Mortgaged Property,
(v) if an Event of Default or Credit Event hereunder has occurred and is continuing, and (vi) if the terms of the Purchased Asset
Documents for such Purchased Asset require an appraisal to be ordered and Seller has failed to order such appraisal. In all cases
set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), Seller agrees to pay Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses for such
Appraisal. Notwithstanding the forgoing to the contrary, Buyer reserves the right to order an Appraisal at any time at Buyer’s
cost and expense. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement.

 

(f)          Each
provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

(g)          Intentionally
Omitted.

 

(h)          This
Agreement contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding
all prior oral or written understandings.

 

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

 

    	 	76	 

     

    

  

(j)          Should
any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same
shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of
construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent prepared the same,
it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

 

(k)          Any
notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate (including, without limitation, any Confirmation) given by Buyer to Seller shall
be effective as, and shall be deemed to be, a notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate given to Seller. Buyer may, without
necessity of any inquiry, rely solely upon any notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate of any of (1) Seller or (2) any
authorized representative of Seller set forth on Exhibit II or otherwise designated by Seller from time to time, as constituting
the joint and several statement and certificate of each and every Seller fully authorized by Seller. Any disbursements of funds
to Seller provided for in Article 5 of this Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall
be deemed properly made to Seller if disbursed to Seller or its designee.

 

(l)          In
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller may disclose certain Confidential Information (as hereinafter
defined) to Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives,
including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (“Buyer’s Representatives”). “Confidential Information”
shall mean all information received from Seller or an Affiliate of Seller pursuant to this Agreement which information relates
to Seller, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, the Underlying Obligors and the Purchased Assets. Confidential Information
shall not include information or documentation which (i) is already in Buyer’s possession and not subject to a confidentiality
agreement with Seller or Guarantor, (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as the result of a disclosure in
violation of this Section 25(l) or (iii) becomes lawfully available to Buyer on a non-confidential basis from a source other than
Seller or Guarantor. Seller expressly acknowledges that, to the extent Buyer and its Affiliates receive non-public information
from Seller, Guarantor, any Underlying Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates pursuant to transactions not related to this
Agreement, such information shall not constitute “Information” within the meaning of this Agreement and shall be subject
to whatever confidentiality agreements, if any, have been entered into in respect of such other transactions. Buyer agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that the Confidential Information may be disclosed: (i) to Buyer’s
Representatives; (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or any quasi-regulatory authority; (iii) to the extent
required by applicable Requirements of Law, or rules of any applicable self-regulatory organization or stock exchange or by any
subpoena or similar legal process; (iv) to any other party to this Agreement; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
under the Transaction Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (vi) as is necessary to consummate a Transaction pursuant to the terms of
the Transaction Documents; (vii) to any permitted assignee of or participant in, or any permitted prospective assignee of or participant
in, any of Buyer’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, (viii) to any party in connection with a Secondary Market
Transaction or (ix) with the prior consent of Seller; provided that in each of the above circumstance, other than (ii) and (iii)
above, the recipient of the Confidential Information is informed of the confidential nature of such information.

 

    	 	77	 

     

    

  

(m)          Seller,
Buyer and Depository each agree that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Depository will comply
with instructions given to Depository by Buyer directing disposition of funds in the Cash Management Account without further consent
of Seller or any other person, but subject to the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise required by law, Depository will
not agree with any third party to comply with instructions for disposition of funds in the Cash Management Account. Regardless
of any other provision herein, for purposes of the UCC, Depository agrees that New York shall be deemed to be Depository’s
jurisdiction (within the meaning of Sections 8-110 and 9-304 of the UCC).

 

		26.	INTENT

 

(a)          Buyer
and Seller intend (a) for each Transaction to qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer
to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities
contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin
payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) for the grant of a
security interest set forth in Article 11 to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of
the Bankruptcy Code, and (c) that Buyer (for so long as Buyer is a “financial institution,” “financial participant”
or other entity listed in Section 555, 559 or 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor”
benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract,” including (x)
the rights, set forth in Article 14 and in Section 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Assets and
terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in herein and in Section 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

 

(b)          Buyer
and Seller acknowledge and agree that Buyer’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions
hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Articles 14 and as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents
is a contractual right to liquidate such Transactions as described in Section 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(c)          Buyer
and Seller acknowledge and agree that if a either Buyer or Seller 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)          Buyer
and Seller acknowledge and agree 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, as amended (“FDICIA”), and each
payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction 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). Buyer and Seller expressly
represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement,” as defined
in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

    	 	78	 

     

    

  

		27.	CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

 

(a)          Taxes.

 

(i)          Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

 

(a)          Any
and all payments by or on account of any Facility Obligation of Seller or Guarantor hereunder or under any other Transaction Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any
applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of Buyer) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any
such payment by Buyer, Seller; or Guarantor, then Buyer, Seller, or Guarantor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding,
upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (v) below.

 

(b)          If
Seller, Guarantor or Buyer (collectively, “Payor”) shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including
both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then: (A) Payor shall withhold or make such
deductions as are determined by Buyer to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection
(v) below; (B) Payor shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with the Code; and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
the sum payable by Seller or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

 

(c)          If
Payor shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then: (A)
Payor, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information
and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (v) below; (B) Payor, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely
pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws; and (C) to the extent
that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Seller or Guarantor shall be
increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section (a)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such withholding or deduction been made.

 

    	 	79	 

     

    

  

(ii)         Payment
of Other Taxes by Seller or Guarantor. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (i) above, Seller or Guarantor shall timely
pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Buyer, timely reimburse it for
the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(iii)        Tax
Indemnifications.

 

(a)          Without
duplication of Seller and Guarantor’s obligations under subsection (i) above, Seller shall, and does hereby, indemnify each
Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid
by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and 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 any such payment or liability delivered to Seller
and Guarantor by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)        Evidence
of Payments. Upon request by a Seller, Guarantor or Buyer, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by Seller, Guarantor
or Buyer to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section, Seller or Guarantor shall deliver to Buyer or Buyer shall deliver
to Seller or Guarantor, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to Seller, Guarantor or Buyer, as the case may be.

 

(v)         Status
of Buyer; Tax Documentation.

 

(a)          If
Buyer or any Person that acquires the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document, the Buyer or such Person shall deliver
to Seller, Guarantor or Buyer, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, Guarantor or Buyer, such properly completed
and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller, Guarantor or Buyer as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer or any Person that acquires the rights and obligations of Buyer under this
Agreement, if reasonably requested by Seller, Guarantor or Buyer, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by Seller, Guarantor or Buyer as will enable Seller, Guarantor or Buyer to determine whether or not
such Person 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 shall not be required if in the Buyer
or such Person’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer or such Person to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer or such Person.

 

    	 	80	 

     

    

  

(b)          Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Seller or Guarantor is a U.S. Person:

 

(A)         any
Person that acquires the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller, Guarantor
and Buyer on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of Seller, Guarantor or Buyer), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Buyer is exempt from
U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(B)         any
Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller, Guarantor and Buyer (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Buyer becomes a party under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller, Guarantor and Buyer), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(1)         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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN 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 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;

 

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

 

(3)         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 XII 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 or Guarantor 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 originals of IRS
Form W-8BEN; or

 

    	 	81	 

     

    

  

(4)         to
the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XII-A or Exhibit XII-B, IRS
Form W-9, 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 XII-C on behalf of each such direct and
indirect partner;

 

(C)         any
Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller, Guarantor and Buyer (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Buyer becomes a party under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller, Guarantor or Buyer), executed originals of any other form
prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller, Guarantor and Buyer to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D)         if
a payment made to any Person that acquires the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including
those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Person shall deliver to Seller, Guarantor
and Buyer at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller, Guarantor or Buyer such
documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by Seller, Guarantor or Buyer as may be necessary for Seller, Guarantor and Buyer to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Person has complied with such Person’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 any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.

 

    	 	82	 

     

    

  

(E)         For
purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), Buyer
and Seller shall treat the Transactions as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1471- 2(b)(2)(i). Buyer shall deliver to Seller a duly executed IRS Form W-9 concurrently with (or promptly
after) the date hereof.

 

(vi)        Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient 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 by Seller or Guarantor, or with respect to which Seller or Guarantor has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Seller or Guarantor under this Section
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient,
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided
that Seller or Guarantor, upon the request of such Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to any such Seller or Guarantor
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such
Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection,
in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to Seller or Guarantor pursuant to this subsection the
payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if
the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be
construed to require the Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to Seller, Guarantor or any other Person.

 

(vii)       Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the assignment of rights by Buyer, the termination of the Facility
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Facility Obligations.

 

    	 	83	 

     

    

 

(b)          Illegality.
If Buyer determines that any Change in Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to
effect Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions
and to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (b) the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted
automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions, for which the Pricing Rate shall be the Alternative Rate, on the last day of the
then current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law. 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 this Section 27(b) of this Agreement. Seller shall indemnify
Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any 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(h) of a termination of a Transaction
or (ii) default by Seller in selling Eligible Assets after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed
to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A certificate as to such costs, losses, damages
and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and
binding on Seller in the absence of manifest error, and Seller shall pay all such amounts to Buyer upon demand thereof.

 

(c)          Inability
to Determine Rates. If, on any Pricing Rate Determination Date for any Transaction, Buyer shall determine (which determination
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Money Markets, adequate and
fair means did not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, Buyer shall promptly give the Seller telephonic notice (confirmed as
soon as practicable in writing) of the nature and effect of such circumstances. After receipt of such notice and during the existence
of such circumstances, the Pricing Rate shall be determined based upon an alternate index selected by Buyer (the “Alternate
Rate”), in its sole and absolute discretion, reasonably comparable to that of the LIBOR Rate, intended to generate a return
substantially the same as that generated by the LIBOR Rate.

 

(d)          Increased
Costs Generally. If there shall occur any adoption or implementation of, or change to,
any Regulation, or interpretation or administration thereof, which shall have the effect of imposing on Buyer (or Buyer’s
holding company) any increase or expansion of or any new: tax (excluding taxes on its overall income and franchise taxes), charge,
fee, assessment or deduction of any kind whatsoever, or reserve, capital adequacy, special deposits or similar requirements against
credit extended by, assets of, or deposits with or for the account of Buyer or other conditions affecting the extensions of credit
under this Agreement; then Seller or Guarantor shall pay to Buyer such additional amount as Buyer deems necessary to compensate
Buyer for any increased cost to Buyer attributable to the extension(s) of credit under this Agreement and/or for any reduction
in the rate of return on Buyer’s capital and/or Buyer’s revenue attributable to such extension(s) of credit. As used
above, the term “Regulation” shall include any federal, state or international law, governmental or quasi-governmental
rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (including but not limited to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act and enactments, issuances or similar pronouncements by Buyer for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking
Regulations and Supervisory Practices or any similar authority and any successor thereto) that applies to Buyer. Buyer determination
of the additional amount(s) due under this paragraph shall be binding in the absence of manifest error, and such amount(s) shall
be payable within 15 days of demand and, if recurring, as otherwise billed by Buyer.

 

(e)          Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Buyer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
27 shall not constitute a waiver of Buyer’s right to demand such compensation.

EXHIBIT VI

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED ASSET

 

		1.	Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Assets. Each Purchased Asset is a whole loan and not
a participation interest in a Purchased Asset. 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 the Seller), participation or pledge, and the Seller had good title to,
and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations,
any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Asset other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement.
Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Asset, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes
a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security
interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Asset.

 

		2.	Loan Document Status. (a)Each related Mortgage
Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents(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 Asset 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) that certain provisions in such Purchased Asset 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 Asset 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”).

 

(b)          Except as set forth in the
immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related
Mortgagor with respect to any of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Purchased Asset Documents, including, without limitation,
any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Purchased
Asset, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased
Asset Documents.

 

     

     

    

 

		3.	Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset 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,
nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

 

		4.	Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except prior to the Purchase Date by written
instruments included in the related Purchased Asset File (a) the material terms of each Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Purchased Asset
guaranty, and related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated
or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage; (b) no 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 Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Purchased Asset.

 

		5.	Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage
and assignment of Assignment of Leases and Rents from the Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from the Seller.
Each Mortgage and Assignment of Leases and Rents is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each Mortgage
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 Asset or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)
and the exceptions set forth in paragraph (6) (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 the 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 the 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 Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”)
financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

		6.	Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset 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 Asset (or with respect to a Purchased Asset 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 not yet due and payable; (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; and
(f) if the related Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Asset (each a “Crossed
Purchased Asset”), the lien of the Mortgage for another Purchased Asset that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted
with such Crossed Purchased Asset, 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 (the foregoing, 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 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 the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the Seller’s
knowledge, any other holder of the Purchased Asset, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage
under such Title Policy.

 

		7.	Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Purchased
Asset are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Purchased Asset, there are, as of origination, and
to the 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 materialmens liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other
personal property financing). The Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

 

		8.	Assignment of Leases, Rents. There exists as part of the related Purchased Asset File an
Assignment of Leases and Rents(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 and Rents 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 Mortgage or Assignment of Leases and Rents for each Purchased Asset, subject to applicable
law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Purchased Asset, 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.

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

		9.	UCC Filings. If the Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the 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 Asset to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property
reasonably necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property owned by the Mortgagor and located on the 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 permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Asset 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 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.

 

		10.	Condition of Property. (a)      Seller or the
originator of the Purchased Asset inspected or caused to be inspected each Mortgaged Property securing such Purchased Asset within
six months of origination of the Purchased Asset and within twelve months of the Purchase Date.

 

(b)          An engineering report or property
condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Purchased Asset and no more than twelve months prior
to the Purchase Date. To the 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 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 Asset.

 

		11.	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.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

 

		12.	Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the
Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the 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.

 

		13.	Actions Concerning Purchased Asset. As of the date of origination and to the 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 Asset, (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
Asset documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

 

		14.	Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant
to the Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset are in the possession, or under the control, of the 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 Asset Documents are being
conveyed by the Seller to Buyer (although possession of such escrows may remain with the Servicer).

 

		15.	No Holdbacks. The principal balance as of the Initial Purchase Date of the Purchased Asset
set forth on the Purchased Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Initial Purchase Date and there is no requirement
for future advances thereunder (except (i) in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Asset 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 and (ii) as is reflected on the Confirmation (as reflected in the difference between the Initial Purchase
Price and the Maximum Purchase Price) or with respect to any portion of the Mortgage Loan that may be disbursed as a subsequent
advance in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents.

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

 

		16.	Insurance. (a)    Each 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 Asset Documents and having a claims-paying
or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company, (ii) at
least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or (iii) at least “A-”
from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (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 Asset
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.

 

(b)          Each
Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset 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 Asset secured by a single Mortgaged Property having a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

 

(c)          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.

 

(d)          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.

 

(e)          The
Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset 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 the Seller for
loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

 

(f)           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
Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service in an amount not less than 100% of the
SEL or PML, as applicable.

 

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(g)          The
Purchased Asset 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 Asset, 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 Asset together
with any accrued interest thereon.

 

(h)          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 Asset 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. Each Purchased Asset
obligates the 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 the 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.

 

		17.	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 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
Asset 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.

 

		18.	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 Asset, 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 Asset 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 have been obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

 

    	 	7	 

     

    

 

		19.	No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Asset has a shared appreciation
feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the
accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation
by Seller.

 

		20.	REMIC. The Purchased Asset is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code (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 mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, (A) the
issue price of the Purchased Asset to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of
the Purchased Asset and (B) either: (a) such Purchased Asset is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and
structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Purchased Asset
was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Asset on such date or (ii) at the Purchase Date
at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Asset 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 Asset and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Asset; or (b) substantially
all of the proceeds of such Purchased Asset were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only
security for such Purchased Asset (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 Asset 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 Asset 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 Asset was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii),
including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and/or yield maintenance charges applicable to the Purchased Asset 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.

 

		21.	Compliance with Usury Laws. The interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges,
yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Purchased Asset complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt
from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

 

		22.	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 Asset by the Buyer.

 

    	 	8	 

     

    

 

		23.	Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as
of the date of origination and, to the 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.

 

		24.	Local Law Compliance. To the 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
the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements
located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset as of the date of origination of such Purchased
Asset and as of the Purchase Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws
(collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or
structure, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance or other insurance policy or (iii) would not have
a material adverse effect on the Purchased Asset. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in
all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

 

		25.	Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Asset 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 the 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 the Seller for similar commercial
and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations
are in effect. The Purchased Asset requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the
related Mortgaged Property is located.

 

		26.	Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that
such Purchased Asset is non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that (a) the 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 Asset 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, and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants
contained in the related Purchased Asset Documents, and (b) the Purchased Asset 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.

 

    	 	9	 

     

    

 

		27.	Mortgage Releases. (a) The terms of the Mortgage or related Purchased Asset 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 (32)), 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 Asset, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Asset, (c)
upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32)), (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 of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded
any value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Purchased Asset 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. With respect
to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute
a “significant modification” of the subject Purchased Asset within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury
Regulations and (ii) would not cause the subject Purchased Asset to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset 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 is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Purchased Asset
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.

 

(b)          In the case of any Purchased
Asset, in the event of a 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 Asset
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 is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal
balance of the Purchased Asset.

 

(c)          No Purchased Asset that is
secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Purchased Asset permits the release of cross-collateralization
of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

 

    	 	10	 

     

    

 

		28.	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 respect to each Purchased Asset 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.

 

		29.	Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Purchased Asset 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 (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 Asset, 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 Asset, 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 Asset, the related Purchased
Asset 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 Asset 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 Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components
of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Purchased Asset, 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.

 

    	 	11	 

     

    

 

		30.	Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased
Asset contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal
balance of such Purchased Asset 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 Asset Documents (which provide for transfers
without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the 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 Asset 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
upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset 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 Asset Documents or a Person satisfying
specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of
stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters
of paragraphs (27) and (32) herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased
Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt 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 Asset Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Purchased Asset or
(iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Asset 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.

 

		31.	Special-Purpose Entity. Each Purchased Asset requires the Mortgagor to be a Special-Purpose
Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Asset is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents
of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Asset with a Purchase Date Principal balance in excess of $5 million provide that
the Mortgagor is a Special-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Asset 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 “Special-Purpose Entity”
shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Purchased Asset has a Purchase Date Principal
balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Asset 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 Assets 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 Asset 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 Asset 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 Purchased Asset), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

 

    	 	12	 

     

    

 

		32.	Defeasance. With respect to any Purchased Asset that, pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents,
can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Purchased Asset Documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right
of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Purchased Asset Documents; (ii) the Purchased Asset cannot
be defeased within two years after the Purchase Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only 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 Asset when due, including the entire
remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of
a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Purchased Asset is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding
on the Anticipated Repayment Date, and if the Purchased Asset 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 Asset; (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 Asset secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the mortgagee
may require such assumption) by a Special-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.

 

		33.	Fixed Interest Rates. Each Purchased Asset bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout
the remaining term of such Purchased Asset, except in the case of ARD Loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

 

		34.	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 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 Asset
where the Purchased Asset 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;

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

		(b)	The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Asset
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 the Seller since the
origination of the Purchased Asset except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Purchased Asset
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 Mortgagor or the mortgagee) that extends not
less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Purchased Asset, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Purchased
Asset fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Purchased Asset 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 Asset 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 Asset and its successors
and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

 

		(f)	The Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination
of such Ground Lease. To the 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
the 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;

 

		(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;

 

    	 	14	 

     

    

 

		(i)	The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially
unreasonable by the 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
Asset 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 Asset, 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 Asset, 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 an early termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection
of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

 

		35.	Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by or on behalf of the Seller with
respect to the Purchased Asset have been, in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

		36.	Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or the related originator
if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Purchased Asset have been, in all material respects, legal and as of
the date of its origination, such Purchased Asset 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 Asset; provided that the foregoing
representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise
covered in this Annex of Representations and Warranties.

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

		37.	No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Asset 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 Asset is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of
the Purchase Date. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under the related Purchased Asset, 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 Asset 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 the Seller
in this Annex of Representations and Warranties. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Asset may declare any event
of default under the Purchased Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents.

 

		38.	Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset and to the 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.

 

		39.	Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Purchased Asset, in reliance on certified
copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Purchased
Asset, 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 Purchased Asset, no Purchased Asset has a Mortgagor that
is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor (provided that this representation does not prohibit a Purchased Asset from having more than
on Mortgagor). (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (39) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or
indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.)

 

    	 	16	 

     

    

 

		40.	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 Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment
(collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection
with such Purchased Asset 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 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 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.

 

		41.	Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property
with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Purchased Asset origination date, and within 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 Asset.

 

		42.	Purchased Asset Schedule. The information pertaining to each Purchased Asset which is set
forth in the Purchased Asset Schedule to this Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date and
contains all information required by this Agreement to be contained therein.

 

		43.	Cross-Collateralization. No Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with
any other Purchased Asset or other mortgage loan.

 

		44.	Advance of Funds by the Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by
Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Purchased Asset 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 Asset (other than as contemplated by the Purchased Asset Documents, such as, by way of example and 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 Asset Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution
to any Mortgagor under a Purchased Asset, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

 

    	 	17	 

     

    

 

		45.	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 Asset, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Purchased
Asset.

PAYMENT GUARANTY

 

This PAYMENT GUARANTY (as amended,
modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made and entered into by BENEFIT
STREET PARTNERS REALTY TRUST, INC., a Maryland corporation, whose address is c/o Benefit Street Partners L.L.C., 9 West
57th Street, Suite 4920, New York, New York 10019 (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of U.S.
Bank national association, a national banking association whose address is 13737 Noel Road, Suite 800, Galleria North
Tower 1, Dallas, Texas 75240 (“Buyer”) on this June 14, 2017. This Guaranty is made with reference to the following
facts (with some capitalized terms being defined below):

 

A.           BSPRT
USB Loan, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (“Seller”), and Buyer have entered into that
certain Master Repurchase and Securities Contract, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented
or restated, the “Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Buyer may, from time to time, purchase certain
Eligible Assets from Seller with a simultaneous agreement from Seller to repurchase such Eligible Assets at a date certain or on
demand (the “Transactions”);

 

B.           Buyer
has requested, as a condition of entering into the Repurchase Agreement, that the Guarantor deliver to Buyer this Guaranty;

 

C.           Guarantor
indirectly owns 100% of Seller;

 

D.           Guarantor
will benefit if Buyer enters into the Repurchase Agreement with Seller, and desires that Buyer enter into the Repurchase Agreement
with Seller; and

 

E.           Buyer
would not enter into the Repurchase Agreement with Seller unless Guarantor executed this Guaranty. This Guaranty is therefore delivered
to Buyer to induce Buyer to enter into the Repurchase Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in exchange for good, adequate, and valuable consideration, the receipt of which Guarantor acknowledges, and to induce Buyer to
enter into the Repurchase Agreement, Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

1.          Definitions.
For purposes of this Guaranty, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below. In addition, any capitalized term defined
in the Repurchase Agreement but not defined in this Guaranty shall have the same meaning in this Guaranty as in the Repurchase
Agreement.

 

(a)          
“Cash Equivalents” shall mean, with respect to any Person and its consolidated subsidiaries, and any date, to
the extent owned by such Person or any of its consolidated subsidiaries free and clear of all Liens, marketable securities issued
or directly and unconditionally guaranteed as to interest and principal by the United States Government; provided that, solely
for the purpose of calculating Cash Liquidity, Cash Equivalents shall include fifty percent (50%) of the excess of (a) the fair
market value (as reasonably determined by Buyer) of CMBS securities owned by such Person, over (b) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness
(including, without limitation, repurchase obligations) secured by such CMBS securities owned by such Person (but the aggregate
amount of Cash Equivalents included pursuant to this proviso, shall not exceed $5,000,000).

 

     

     

    

 

(b)          “Cash
Liquidity” shall mean, with respect to any Person and any date, the sum of (i) unrestricted cash of such Person and (ii)
Cash Equivalents of such Person, all on or as of such date.

 

(c)          “Consolidated
Leverage Ratio” shall mean, on the date of calculation, the ratio calculated by Buyer (expressed as a percentage) of
(i) the total Indebtedness of Guarantor, including the amount of Dollars funded under all credit facilities to Guarantor to (ii)
the Tangible Net Worth of Guarantor.

 

(d)          
“GAAP” means with respect to the financial statements or other financial information of any Person, generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States which are in effect from time to time, consistently applied.

 

(e)          “Guaranteed
Obligations” means:

charged to Buyer in connection with Buyer’s receipt of legal services incurred in connection with the enforcement of this

accordance with GAAP minus (i) intangible assets included in the foregoing and (ii) prepaid taxes and/or expenses, all on
or as of such date.

 

(p)          “Transaction
Documents” shall have the meaning set forth in the Repurchase Agreement.

 

2.            Absolute
Guaranty of All Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees Seller’s prompt and complete
payment, observance, fulfillment, and performance of all Guaranteed Obligations when due. Guarantor shall be liable for, and obligated
to pay and perform, all Guaranteed Obligations when due. All assets and property of Guarantor shall be subject to recourse if Guarantor
fails to pay and perform any Guaranteed Obligation(s) when and as required to be paid and performed pursuant to the Transaction
Documents.

 

3.            Nature
and Scope of Liability. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is primary and not secondary. Guarantor’s liability
under this Guaranty shall be in the full amount of all Guaranteed Obligations, including any interest, default interest, actual,
out-of-pocket costs and fees (including Legal Costs) payable by Seller under the Repurchase Agreement.

 

4.            Changes
in Transaction Documents. Without notice to, or consent by, Guarantor, and in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion and
without prejudice to Buyer or in any way limiting or reducing Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty but subject, in each
case, to the terms of the Transaction Documents, Buyer may: (a) grant extensions of time, renewals or other indulgences or modifications
to Seller or any other party under any of the Transaction Document(s), (b) change, amend or modify any Transaction Document(s),
(c) authorize the sale, exchange, release or subordination of any Security, (d) accept or reject additional Security, (e) discharge
or release any party or parties liable under the Transaction Documents, (f) foreclose or otherwise realize on any Security, or
attempt to foreclose or otherwise realize on any Security, whether such attempt is successful or unsuccessful, (g) accept or make
compositions or other arrangements or file or refrain from filing a claim in any Insolvency Proceeding, (h) make other or additional
Transactions to Seller in such amount(s) and at such time(s) as Buyer may determine, (i) credit payments in such manner and order
of priority to principal, interest or other obligations as Buyer may determine in its discretion, and (j) otherwise deal with Seller
and any other party related to the Transactions or any Security as Buyer may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue even if Buyer alters any
obligations under the Transaction Documents in any respect or Buyer’s or Guarantor’s remedies or rights against Seller
are in any way impaired or suspended without Guarantor’s consent. If Buyer performs any of the actions described in this
paragraph, then Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall continue in full force and effect even if Buyer’s actions impair,
diminish or eliminate Guarantor’s subrogation, contribution, or reimbursement rights (if any) against Seller or otherwise
adversely affect Guarantor or expand Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

 

     

     

    

 

5.          Certain
Financial Covenants. (a) Guarantor shall not permit with respect to itself any of the following to be breached as determined
quarterly (unless otherwise set forth in this Section 5) following the end of each fiscal quarter of Guarantor on a consolidated
basis with respect to Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (in conformity with GAAP, consistently applied, except to the extent GAAP
differs from any definition of a specific term defined herein):

 

(i)          Maximum
Consolidated Leverage. Consolidated Leverage Ratio to exceed 3:1 as of the last day of any fiscal year;

 

(ii)         Minimum
Cash Liquidity. Cash Liquidity to be less than $35,000,000; and

 

(iii)        Tangible
Net Worth. Tangible Net Worth to be less than the sum of (a) $450,000,000.00 and (b) seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate
net cash proceeds of any equity issuances made by Guarantor after the date hereof.; provided, however, that equity issuances made
solely to replace existing equity issuances shall not be included in the calculation of Tangible Net Worth.

 

6.          Nature
of Guaranty. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, and is
not a guaranty of collection or collectability. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is not conditioned or contingent
upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents. Guarantor’s liability under
this Guaranty is a continuing, absolute, and unconditional obligation under any and all circumstances whatsoever (except as expressly
stated, if at all, in this Guaranty or in the Repurchase Agreement), without regard to the validity, regularity or enforceability
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor is fully obligated under this Guaranty even if Seller
had no liability at the time of execution of the Transaction Documents or later ceases to be liable under any Transaction Document
pursuant to Insolvency Proceedings. Guarantor shall not be entitled to claim, and irrevocably covenants not to raise or assert,
any defenses against the Guaranteed Obligations that would or might be available to Seller, other than actual payment and performance
of all Guaranteed Obligations in full in accordance with their terms. Guarantor waives any right to compel Buyer to proceed first
against Seller or any Security before proceeding against Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations
are or become void or unenforceable (because of inadequate consideration, lack of capacity, or Insolvency Proceedings), then Guarantor’s
liability under this Guaranty shall continue in full force with respect to all Guaranteed Obligations as if they were and continued
to be legally enforceable, all in accordance with their terms before giving effect to the Insolvency Proceedings. Guarantor also
recognizes and acknowledges that its liability under this Guaranty may be more extensive in amount and more burdensome than that
of Seller. Guarantor waives any defense that might otherwise be available to Guarantor based on the proposition that a guarantor’s
liability cannot exceed the liability of the principal. Guarantor intends to be fully liable under the Guaranteed Obligations regardless
of the scope of Seller’s liability thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Guaranteed Obligations
are “nonrecourse” as to Seller or Seller’s liability for the Guaranteed Obligations is otherwise limited in some
way, Guarantor nevertheless intends to be fully liable, to the full extent of all of Guarantor’s assets, with respect to
all the Guaranteed Obligations, even though Seller’s liability for the Guaranteed Obligations may be more limited in scope
or less burdensome. Guarantor waives any defenses to this Guaranty arising or purportedly arising from the manner in which Buyer
disburses the Purchase Price for Transactions to Seller or otherwise, or any waiver of the terms of any Transaction Document by
Buyer or other failure of Buyer to require full compliance with the Transaction Documents. Guarantor’s liability under this
Guaranty shall continue until all sums due under the Transaction Documents have been paid in full and all other performance required
under the Transaction Documents has been rendered in full, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Guaranty. Guarantor’s
liability under this Guaranty shall not be limited or affected in any way by any impairment or any diminution or loss of value
of any Security whether caused by (a) hazardous substances, (b) Buyer’s failure to perfect a security interest in any Security,
(c) any disability or other defense(s) of Seller, or (d) any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty contained in any
Transaction Document.

 

     

     

    

 

7.          Waivers
of Rights and Defenses. Guarantor waives any right to require Buyer to (a) proceed against Seller, (b) proceed against or exhaust
any Security, or (c) pursue any other right or remedy for Guarantor’s benefit. Guarantor agrees that Buyer may proceed against
Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations without taking any actions against Seller and without proceeding against or
exhausting any Security; provided however, that Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has an unrestricted right to repurchase
all of the Purchased Assets at any time in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement (without regard to the existence of any Default
or Event of Default thereunder), upon payment of all amounts due and owing under the Transaction Documents. Guarantor agrees that
Buyer may unqualifiedly exercise in its sole discretion (or may waive or release, intentionally or unintentionally) any or all
rights and remedies available to it against Seller, subject to the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement, without impairing
Buyer’s rights and remedies in enforcing this Guaranty, under which Guarantor’s liabilities shall remain independent
and unconditional. Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that Buyer’s exercise (or waiver or release) of certain of such rights
or remedies may affect or eliminate Guarantor’s right of subrogation or recovery against Seller (if any) and that Guarantor
may incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability in performing under this Guaranty. Guarantor has assumed the risk of
any such loss of subrogation rights, even if caused by Buyer’s acts or omissions. If Buyer’s enforcement of rights
and remedies, or the manner thereof, limits or precludes Guarantor from exercising any right of subrogation that might otherwise
exist, then the foregoing shall not in any way limit Buyer’s rights to enforce this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality
of any other waivers in this Guaranty, Guarantor expressly waives any statutory or other right (except as set forth herein or in
the Repurchase Agreement) that Guarantor might otherwise have to: (i) limit Guarantor’s liability after a foreclosure sale
or any other exercise of remedies pursuant to the UCC, to the difference between the Guaranteed Obligations and the fair market
value of the property or interests sold at such foreclosure sale or any other exercise of remedies pursuant to the UCC, or to any
other extent, (ii) otherwise limit Buyer’s right to recover a deficiency judgment after any foreclosure sale, or (iii) require
Buyer to exhaust its Security before Buyer may obtain a personal judgment for any deficiency. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees
that any nonrecourse provision or exculpation provided for in any Transaction Document, or any other provision of a Transaction
Document limiting Buyer’s recourse to specific Security or limiting Buyer’s right to enforce a deficiency judgment
against Seller or any other person, shall have absolutely no application to Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty. To
the extent that Buyer collects or receives any sums or payments from Seller or any proceeds of a foreclosure or similar sale, Buyer
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply such amounts first to that portion of Seller’s indebtedness and obligations
to Buyer (if any) that is not covered by this Guaranty, regardless of the manner in which any such payments and/or amounts are
characterized by the person making payment.

 

     

     

    

 

8.          Additional
Waivers. Guarantor waives diligence and all demands, protests, presentments and notices of every kind or nature, including
notices of protest, dishonor, nonpayment, acceptance of this Guaranty and the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. No failure or delay on Buyer’s part in exercising any power, right or privilege under
this Guaranty shall impair or waive any such power, right or privilege.

 

9.          Loss
Payment. To the extent that Guarantor at any time incurs any liability under this Guaranty, Guarantor shall immediately pay
Buyer (to be applied on account of the Guaranteed Obligations) the amount provided for in this Guaranty, without any requirement
that Buyer demonstrate that the Security is inadequate for the Transactions; that Buyer has suffered any loss (other than when
a loss is necessary for a Guaranteed Obligation to exist); or that Buyer has otherwise exercised (to any degree) or exhausted any
of Buyer’s rights or remedies with respect to Seller or any Security.

 

10.        Full
Knowledge. Guarantor acknowledges, represents, and warrants that Guarantor has had a full and adequate opportunity to review
the Transaction Documents, the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and all underlying facts relating to such
transaction. Guarantor represents and warrants that Guarantor fully understands: (a) the remedies Buyer may pursue against Seller
and/or Guarantor in the event of a default under the Transaction Documents, (b) the value (if any) and character of any Security,
and (c) Seller’s financial condition and ability to perform under the Transaction Documents. Guarantor agrees to keep itself
fully informed regarding all aspects of the foregoing and the performance of Seller’s obligations to Buyer. Buyer has no
duty, whether now or in the future, to disclose to Guarantor any information pertaining to Seller, the Transactions or any Security.
At any time provided for in the Transaction Documents, Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that an Insolvency Proceeding affecting
Guarantor, or other actions or events relating to Guarantor (including Guarantor’s death, disability, or change in financial
position), as set forth in the Transaction Documents, may be event(s) of default under the Transaction Documents.

 

11.        Representations
and Warranties. Guarantor acknowledges, represents and warrants as follows, and acknowledges that Buyer is relying upon the
following acknowledgments, representations, and warranties by Guarantor in making the Transactions:

 

(a)          Transaction
Documents. This Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered, and is fully valid, binding, and enforceable against
Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally
and to equitable principles.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)          No
Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Guaranty will not violate any provision of any law, regulation,
judgment, order, decree, determination, or award of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, or of any mortgage, indenture,
loan, or security agreement, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which Guarantor is a party or that
purports to bind Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s property or assets.

 

(c)          No
Third Party Consent Required. No consent of any person (including creditors or partners, members, stockholders, or other owners
of Guarantor), other than those consents obtained as of the date hereof, is required in connection with Guarantor’s execution
of this Guaranty or performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor’s execution of, and obligations
under, this Guaranty are not contingent upon any consent, license, permit, approval, or authorization of, exemption by, notice
or report to, or registration, filing, or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau, or agency, whether local, state,
federal, or foreign.

 

(d)          Authority
and Execution. Guarantor has full power, authority, and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Guaranty. Guarantor has taken all necessary limited partnership and legal action to authorize this Guaranty, which has been duly
executed and delivered and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(e)          No
Representations by Buyer. Guarantor delivers this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor’s own independent investigation
and based in no part upon any representation or statement by Buyer.

 

(f)          No
Misstatements. No written information, exhibit, report or certificate furnished by Guarantor to Buyer concerning Seller, Originator,
or Guarantor or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, any Purchased Asset in connection with the Transactions or any Transaction Document
contains any material misstatement of fact or, to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, has omitted to state a material fact
or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading.

 

12.          Reimbursement
and Subrogation Rights. Except to the extent that Buyer notifies Guarantor to the contrary in writing from time to time:

 

(a)          General
Deferral of Reimbursement. For so long as any Subrogation Deferral shall remain in effect or be required hereunder, Guarantor
waives any right to be reimbursed by Seller for any payment(s) made by Guarantor on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, unless
and until all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and all periods within which such payments may be set aside or invalidated
have under applicable law expired other than in respect of amounts that may be remitted to Seller from the Cash Management Account
under Sections 5(d) and (e) of the Repurchase Agreement in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, provided
that nothing herein shall alter, waive or modify Buyer’s rights under the Repurchase Agreement, this Guaranty or arising
under any Requirements of Law, to recover such amounts under circumstances entitling Buyer to seek the return or disgorgement,
or reinstatement of any Guaranteed Obligations in respect of, any amounts so paid to Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor
has received adequate consideration for execution of this Guaranty by virtue of Buyer’s entering into the Transactions (which
benefits Guarantor, as an owner or principal of Seller) and Guarantor does not require or expect, and is not entitled to, any other
right of reimbursement against Seller as consideration for this Guaranty.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)          Deferral
of Subrogation and Contribution. Guarantor agrees it shall have no right of subrogation against Seller or Buyer and no right
of subrogation against any Security unless and until: (i) such right of subrogation does not violate (or otherwise produce any
result adverse to Buyer under) any applicable law, including any bankruptcy or insolvency law; (ii) all amounts then due under
the Transaction Documents have been paid in full and all other performance then required under the Transaction Documents has been
rendered in full to Buyer; and (iii) all periods within which such payment may be set aside or invalidated have under applicable
law expired (such deferral of Guarantor’s subrogation and contribution rights, the “Subrogation Deferral”).

 

(c)          Effect
of Invalidation. To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Guarantor’s Subrogation Deferral
is void or voidable for any reason, Guarantor agrees, notwithstanding any acts or omissions by Buyer that Guarantor’s rights
of subrogation against Seller or Buyer and Guarantor’s right of subrogation against any Security shall at all times be junior
and subordinate to Buyer’s rights against Seller and to Buyer’s right, title, and interest in such Security.

 

(d)          Claims
in Insolvency Proceeding. For so long as any Subrogation Deferral shall remain in effect or be required hereunder: (i) Guarantor
shall not file any claim in any Insolvency Proceeding affecting Seller unless Guarantor simultaneously assigns and transfers such
claim to Buyer, without consideration, pursuant to documentation fully satisfactory to Buyer; (ii) Guarantor shall automatically
be deemed to have assigned and transferred such claim to Buyer whether or not Guarantor executes documentation to such effect,
and by executing this Guaranty hereby authorizes Buyer (and grants Buyer a power of attorney coupled with an interest, and hence
irrevocable) to execute and file such assignment and transfer documentation on Guarantor’s behalf; and (iii) Buyer shall
have the sole right to vote, receive distributions, and exercise all other rights with respect to any such claim, provided, however,
that if and when the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full Buyer shall release to Guarantor any and all further payments
received on account of any such claim.

 

13.         Waiver
Disclosure. Guarantor acknowledges that pursuant to this Guaranty, Guarantor has waived a substantial number of defenses that
Guarantor might otherwise under some circumstance(s) be able to assert against Guarantor’s liability to Buyer. Guarantor
acknowledges and confirms that Guarantor has substantial experience as a sophisticated participant in substantial commercial real
estate transactions and is fully familiar with the legal consequences of signing this or any other guaranty. In addition, Guarantor
is represented by competent counsel. Guarantor has obtained from such counsel, and understood, a full explanation of the nature,
scope, and effect of the waivers contained in this Guaranty (a “Waiver Disclosure”). In the alternative, Guarantor
has, with advice from such counsel, knowingly and intentionally waived obtaining a Waiver Disclosure. Accordingly Guarantor does
not require or expect Buyer to provide a Waiver Disclosure. It is not necessary for Buyer or this Guaranty to provide or set forth
any Waiver Disclosure, notwithstanding any principles of law to the contrary. Nevertheless, Guarantor specifically acknowledges
that Guarantor is fully aware of the nature, scope, and effect of all waivers contained in this Guaranty, all of which have been
fully disclosed to Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges that as a result of the waivers contained in this Guaranty:

 

     

     

    

 

(a)          Actions
by Buyer. Buyer will be able to take a wide range of actions relating to Seller, the Transactions, and the Transaction Documents,
subject to the terms and conditions thereof, all without Guarantor’s consent or notice to Guarantor. Guarantor’s full
and unconditional liability under this Guaranty will continue whether or not Guarantor has consented to such actions. Guarantor
may disagree with or disapprove such actions, and Guarantor may believe that such actions should terminate or limit Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty, but such disagreement, disapproval, or belief on the part of Guarantor will in no way limit Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty.

 

(b)          Interaction
with Seller Liability. Guarantor shall be fully liable for all Guaranteed Obligations even if Seller has no liability whatsoever
under the Transaction Documents or the Transaction Documents are otherwise invalid, unenforceable, or subject to defenses available
to Seller. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor’s full and unconditional liability under this Guaranty (with respect to
the Guaranteed Obligations as if they were fully enforceable against Seller) will continue notwithstanding any such limitations
on or impairment of Seller’s liability.

 

(c)          Timing
of Enforcement. Buyer will be able to enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even though Buyer might also have available other
rights and remedies that Buyer could conceivably enforce against the Security or against other parties. As a result, Buyer may
require Guarantor to pay the Guaranteed Obligations earlier than Guarantor would prefer to pay the Guaranteed Obligations, including
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Seller. Guarantor will not be able to assert against Buyer various defenses,
theories, excuses, or procedural requirements that might otherwise force Buyer to delay or defer the enforcement of this Guaranty
against Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor intends to allow Buyer to enforce the Guaranty against Guarantor in such
manner. All of Guarantor’s assets will be available to satisfy Buyer’s claims against Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

(d)          Continuation
of Liability. Guarantor’s liability for the Guaranteed Obligations shall continue at all times until the Guaranteed Obligations
have actually been paid in full, even if other circumstances have changed such that in Guarantor’s view Guarantor’s
liability under this Guaranty should terminate, except to the extent that any express conditions to the termination of this Guaranty,
as set forth in this Guaranty or in the Repurchase Agreement, have been satisfied.

 

14.         Buyer’s
Disgorgement of Payments. Upon payment of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor’s obligations under
this Guaranty shall continue and remain in full force and effect if all or any part of such payment is, pursuant to any Insolvency
Proceeding or otherwise, avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Buyer as a preference, fraudulent transfer, or otherwise,
irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to such avoidance or recovery, or (b) payment in full of
the Transactions. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue until all periods have expired within which Buyer
could (on account of Insolvency Proceedings, whether or not then pending, affecting Seller or any other person) be required to
return, repay, or disgorge any amount paid at any time on account of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

     

     

    

 

15.         Financial
Information. Guarantor shall deliver to Buyer the financial statements and information required to be delivered by or with
respect to Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement.

 

16.         Consent
to Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in New York County, 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.

 

17.         Merger;
No Conditions; Amendments. This Guaranty and the documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement among the parties
with respect to the matters set forth in this Guaranty. This Guaranty supersedes all prior agreements among the parties with respect
to the matters set forth in this Guaranty. No course of prior dealings among the parties, no usage of trade, and no parol or extrinsic
evidence of any nature shall be used to supplement, modify, or vary any terms of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is unconditional.
There are no unsatisfied conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty. No terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be
changed, waived, revoked, or amended without Buyer’s written agreement. If any provision of this Guaranty is determined to
be unenforceable, then all other provisions of this Guaranty shall remain fully effective.

 

18.         Enforcement.
In the event of any Proceeding between Seller or Guarantor and Buyer, including any Proceeding in which Buyer enforces or attempts
to enforce this Guaranty or the Transactions against Seller or Guarantor, or in the event of any Guarantor Litigation, Guarantor
shall reimburse Buyer for all Legal Costs of such Proceeding.

 

19.         Fundamental
Changes. Guarantor shall not (a) wind up, liquidate, or dissolve its affairs, (b) enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation,
unless the surviving entity, if other than the Guarantor, assumes all of the obligations and satisfies all of the representations,
warranties and covenants of Guarantor hereunder, or (c) sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of (or agree to do any of the foregoing)
all or substantially all of its property or assets, except in a transaction or a series of transactions in connection with any
reorganization of Guarantor and/or its Subsidiaries after which Guarantor (or any surviving entity) shall remain in compliance
with the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, including Section 5 and any such transferee(s) shall be or
become jointly and severally liable with Guarantor (or any surviving entity or entities) for Guarantor’s obligations hereunder,
without Buyer’s prior written consent, provided that the foregoing shall not restrict Seller’s ability to concurrently
repurchase all Purchased Assets as set forth in the Transaction Documents, and shall not restrict Guarantor from (i) originating,
buying, or selling real estate mortgage, mezzanine, or other loans (or any interest therein), or accepting full or partial payment
in respect thereof, or releasing any collateral securing loans, in each case in the ordinary course of Guarantor’s business
operations (ii) admitting any shareholders to Guarantor after the date hereof, (iii) consenting to or otherwise effecting the transfer,
redemption or withdrawal of any shareholder, or (iv) making or granting any modification to or waiver under the Guarantor’s
organizational documents, so long as, after giving effect thereto, in the case of preceding clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) no Change
of Control shall occur.

 

     

     

    

 

20.         Further
Assurances. Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further documents, and perform such further acts, as Buyer may request
to achieve the intent of the parties as expressed in this Guaranty, provided in each case that any such documentation is consistent
with this Guaranty and with the Transaction Documents and does not increase Guarantor’s liabilities or obligations or decrease
Guarantor’s rights, in other than a de minimis manner.

 

21.         Counterparts.
This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts.

 

22.         WAIVER
OF TRIAL BY JURY. 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.

 

23.         Set
Off. Buyer is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all amounts held by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer and any other
obligations at any time owing by Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against any of
or all the obligations of Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have
made any demand under this Guaranty (and without prior notice to Guarantor, but with prompt notice to Guarantor following such
setoff) whereupon such obligations owing by Buyer or its Affiliates to Guarantor shall, to the extent (and only to the extent)
of such set off actually made by Buyer, be discharged. The rights of Buyer under this Section 23 are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Buyer may have.

 

24.         Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          Assignability.
Buyer may assign this Guaranty (in whole or in part) together with the Transaction Documents, to any permitted assignee or transferee
in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Repurchase Agreement, without in any way affecting Guarantor’s
or Seller’s liability. Upon request in connection with any such assignment Guarantor shall (at Buyer’s expense) deliver
such documentation as Buyer shall reasonably request provided that such documentation does not increase Guarantor’s liabilities
or obligations in more than a de minimis manner or decrease Guarantor’s rights (at Buyer’s reasonable expense). This
Guaranty shall benefit Buyer and its successors and assigns and shall bind Guarantor and its successors, and assigns. Guarantor
may not assign this Guaranty in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Buyer.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)          Notices.
All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in in accordance with Section 15
of the Repurchase Agreement.

 

(c)          Interpretation.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles
thereof, other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law. The word “include”
and its variants shall be interpreted in each case as if followed by the words “without limitation.”

 

25.         Business
Purposes. Guarantor acknowledges that this Guaranty is executed and delivered for business and commercial purposes, and not
for personal, family, household, consumer, or agricultural purposes. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor is not entitled to,
and does not require the benefits of, any rights, protections, or disclosures that would or may be required if this Guaranty were
given for personal, family, household, consumer, or agricultural purposes. Guarantor acknowledges that none of Guarantor’s
obligation(s) under this Guaranty constitute(s) a “debt” within the meaning of the United States Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692a(5), and accordingly compliance with the requirements of such Act is not required if
Buyer (directly or acting through its counsel) makes any demand or commences any action to enforce this Guaranty.

 

26.         No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Guaranty is executed and delivered for the benefit of Buyer and its successors, and assigns,
and is not intended to benefit any third party.

 

27.         ERISA.
Guarantor shall not without the prior written consent of Buyer cause or permit Guarantor to, and Guarantor shall not establish,
maintain, contribute to, or incur any liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to, any Plan; (b) Guarantor shall not take
any action that would cause the assets of Guarantor to constitute Plan Assets; (c) assuming that no portion of the assets used
by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents constitutes Plan Assets and/or the assets
of any “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA or
a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, Guarantor shall not take any action, or omit to take any action,
if such action or inaction would cause any of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents to be a “non-exempt
prohibited transaction” under Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Code or Section 406(a) of ERISA and would subject
Buyer to any tax, penalty, damages or any other claim or relief under the Code or ERISA.
