Transaction Asset Obligor or related servicer or lender is already remitting payments to Servicer, whereupon Seller shall direct Servicer to remit all such amounts into the Collection Account and service such payments in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and the provisions hereof) and shall provide to Buyer written proof of such delivery. If a Transaction Asset Obligor (or the related collection account bank) or the related lead lender or servicer under a Transaction Asset forwards any Income with respect to such Transaction Asset to Seller rather than directly to the Collection Account, Seller shall (i) deliver an additional irrevocable direction letter to the applicable Person and cause such Person to forward such amounts directly to the Collection Account and (ii) hold such amounts in trust for Buyer and immediately deposit in the Collection Account any such amounts.

(d)So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income on deposit in the Collection Account in respect of the Transaction Assets during each month shall be applied by Buyer on the fifteenth (15th) day of each subsequent month (or the first Business Day thereafter if the fifteenth (15th) day of the month is not a Business Day) as follows:
(i)first, to Buyer an amount equal to all Default Fees and other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under the other
33
Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price), including without limitation Transaction Costs, legal fees and other expenses of Buyer;
(ii)second, to Buyer an amount equal to the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment that has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the Transactions as of such first Business Day of each subsequent month;
(iii)third, to Buyer, the remainder of such Income for application to prepay the Aggregate Repurchase Price of the Transaction Assets; and
(iv)fourth, after the Repurchase Price and all other obligations of Seller to Buyer have been paid in full, to remit to Seller the remainder, if any.
If on the fifteenth (15th) day of any month, the amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be insufficient to make the payments required under clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.01(b), the same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder if the shortfall amount is not paid in full by Seller within one (1) Business Day after such fifteenth (15th) day of the month.
(c)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income on deposit in the Collection Account in respect of the Transaction Assets shall be applied on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Collection Account as follows:
(i)first, to Buyer, all Default Fees and all other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price), including without limitation Transaction Costs, legal fees and other expenses of Buyer;
(ii)second, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the Transactions as of such Business Day;
(iii)third, to Buyer, in respect of the Aggregate Repurchase Price of the Transaction Assets, until such Aggregate Repurchase Price has been reduced to zero; and
(iv)fourth, to Seller, the remainder.
(d)if at any time during the term of any Transaction any Income is distributed to Seller or Seller has otherwise received such Income and has made a payment in respect of such Income to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.01, and for any reason such amount is required to be returned by Buyer to the Transaction Asset Obligor under such Transaction Asset (either before or after the Repurchase Date), Buyer may provide Seller with notice of such required return, and Seller shall pay the amount of such
34
required return to Buyer by 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the Business Day following Seller's receipt of such notice.
(e)Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, if the due date of any payment under this Agreement would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment shall be payable for any Repurchase Price so extended for the period of such extension.
4.02. Computations. The amount of Periodic Advance Repurchase Payments and Default Fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable. Buyer shall determine any Pricing Rate or Default Rate payable with respect to Transactions hereunder, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.
4.03. Intentionally Omitted.
4.04. Booking of Transactions.

4.05. Buyer's Funding of Eurodollar Rate Transactions. Seller hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may fund a Transaction in any manner it sees fit, including (i) through the actual purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such Transaction and having a maturity comparable to the relevant payment period or (ii) through Buyer's entering into or purchase of repurchase agreements, interest rate agreements, swap agreements or other arrangements in such amounts as Buyer shall determine (and which amounts may or may not, in Buyer's sole discretion, be “match funded” to such Transaction). Calculation of all amounts payable to Buyer under this Section 4.05 shall be made as though Buyer had actually funded such Transaction through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Transaction and having a maturity comparable to the relevant payment period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an off-shore office of Buyer to a domestic office of Buyer in the United States of America; provided, however, that Buyer may fund such Transaction in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 4.05.
4.06. Limitation on Types of Transactions; Illegality. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if:
35
(a)Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 2.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the amounts of Periodic Advance Repurchase Amounts or of Default Fees for Transactions; or
(b)Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate” in Section 2.01 hereof upon the basis of which the Pricing Rate for Transactions is to be determined is not likely adequate to cover the cost to Buyer of making or maintaining Transactions; or
(c)Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that it is or will be unlawful for Buyer to honor its obligation to make or maintain Transactions hereunder using a Eurodollar Rate as a result of compliance by Buyer in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful); then Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Buyer shall be under no obligation to enter into additional Transactions, and Seller shall either repurchase all such Transaction Assets as may be held by Buyer or pay Periodic Advance Repurchase Payments on such Transactions at a Pricing Rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Substitute Rate, such rate to be applied from the date of the occurrence of such condition and until such repurchase.

4.08. Compensation for Increased Costs. If Buyer shall in good faith determine that any change in any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or any determination of a court or governmental authority, or compliance with any guideline, request or directive issued or made by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):
(a)imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer; or
36
(b)imposes any other condition on or affecting Buyer or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar market;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer of agreeing to enter into, entering into or remain a party to, the Transactions hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by Buyer with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days following any notice from Buyer of the same) pay to Buyer, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Buyer for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Buyer under this Section 4.08, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
4.09. No Re-Advances; SL Green Funding.

(c)The obligation of Buyer to fund on any day the Senior Loan Cure Amount on or prior to October 27, 2011 is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, immediately prior to or concurrently with such funding (such date of funding, the “SL Green Funding Date”):
i.no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
ii.the following statements shall be true on the date of such funding, both before and after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof: the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 and in the other Transaction Documents shall be true and correct on and as of such funding date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;
37
iii.SL Green shall have not provided its consent to the Amended Mortgage (as such term is defined in Exhibit B-2 set forth in Schedule 6.01 (j) hereto); and

(b)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, is hereinafter referred to as the “Transaction Asset Items”:
i.all Transaction Assets;
ii.all Transaction Asset Documents, including without limitation all Confirmations, and all Servicing Records, Servicing Agreements and any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Transaction Assets, together with all files, documents, instruments, surveys, certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer programs, computer storage media, accounting records and other books and records relating thereto;

ix.any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.
(c)The parties intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans; provided that in order to preserve the rights of Buyer under this Agreement in the event that any court or other forum re-characterizes any Transaction hereunder as a loan, Seller shall be deemed to have assigned, pledged and granted a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Transaction Assets and the related Transaction Asset Items described in Section 5.01(b) above to Buyer (collectively, the “Collateral”), as security for the prompt repayment and performance by Seller of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions entered into under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Seller's obligation to repurchase Transaction Assets at the Repurchase Price, or if such obligation were to be re-characterized as a loan, to repay such loan, and to pay any and all other amounts owing hereunder and any and all GS Indebtedness from time to time outstanding (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the pledge and security interest granted by Seller hereunder is an extension of the pledge and security interest granted under the Existing Repurchase Agreement.
(d)Seller acknowledges that neither it nor any Company Party has any rights to service the Transaction Assets but only has rights as a party to the Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller or any Company Party is deemed to retain any residual rights under the Servicing Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges hereby, and Parent Guarantor shall grant, assign and pledge under the Parent Guaranty, to Buyer

41
any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
5.05. Performance by Buyer of Seller's Obligations. If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Transaction Documents (except with respect to the payment of any amounts, whether in respect of any principal, interest or otherwise, owing to any Buyer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, and the expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Repurchase Obligations.
5.06. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Transaction Assets. Buyer's duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Transaction Asset Items in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Transaction Asset Items in the same manner as Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Transaction Assets or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of the Transaction Asset upon the request of Seller or otherwise.

Seller (a) has all requisite limited liability company or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) are qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The organizational structure chart of Parent Guarantor attached as Schedule 6 hereto is true, accurate and complete as of the Restatement Date.
7.02. Financial Condition. Seller has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of the consolidated balance sheet of Parent Guarantor and the consolidated Subsidiaries of Parent Guarantor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income and stockholders equity and of cash flows for Parent Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, with the opinion thereon of Ernst & Young.

7.03. Litigation, Etc. No Act of Insolvency has ever occurred with respect to Seller or any Guarantor. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller or any Guarantor or any of their respective assets, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or
48
arbitration pending or, to Seller's best knowledge, threatened against any Guarantor which would reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties, or assets of Seller or any Guarantor, or which may have an adverse effect on the validity of the Transaction Documents or any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of Seller under any of the Transaction Documents. Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law.

(a)Intentionally Omitted.
(b)Buyer may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 10(g)), by notice to Seller, declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or the deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled) and the Repurchase Price for each Transaction hereunder, together with all interest thereon and all Default Fees and other fees and expenses accruing under this Agreement shall be immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 10(g), the Repurchase Price, together with all interest thereon, all Default Fees, all Expense Reimbursement Amounts, and other fees and expenses accruing under this Agreement shall be immediately due and payable without any further action by any Person.

68
(c)All Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise of the option referred to in Section 11(b) shall be retained by Buyer.

(e)Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records and all other files of Seller relating to the Transaction Assets and all documents relating to the Transaction Assets which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement and any other Transaction Document.
(f)The license to exercise voting or consent rights with respect to the Transaction Assets (including, with respect to the Initial Transaction Asset, under the Participation Agreement, Participation Certificates, Transaction Asset Note, and Transaction Asset Documents) shall be deemed automatically revoked pursuant to Section 3.05, and all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Transaction Asset Note and Participation Documents shall be deemed automatically revoked.
(g)Buyer shall have the power and right to act as Seller's attorney-in-fact as set forth in Section 5.04.

(i)Buyer shall have the rights set forth in Section 13.14 with respect to servicing of the Transaction Assets.
(j)At any time on the Business Day following notice to Seller (which notice may be the notice given under subsection (b) of this Section), in the event Seller has not repurchased all Transaction Assets on the previous Business Day, Buyer may (A) immediately sell at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all Transaction Assets relating to any Transaction hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder and/or (B) in its sole good faith discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Transaction Assets, to give Seller credit for such Transaction Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Transaction Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. The proceeds of any disposition of Transaction Assets shall be applied as determined by Buyer in its sole good faith discretion, and Buyer shall remit to Seller the excess of the proceeds over any amount due, or permitted to, Buyer under this Agreement
69
or any other Transaction Document. Buyer shall endeavor in good faith to provide Seller prior notice of any sale pursuant to this Section 11(g), provided that the failure to provide notice shall not in any way impose liability upon Buyer or invalidate the sale and Buyer's rights hereunder.
(k)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Buyer shall have the right, with respect to all Transaction Assets and including the Initial Transaction Asset, to enter into hedging arrangements, comparable to those described in the definition of Interest Rate Protection Agreements, for the account of Seller.
(l)Buyer may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Repurchase Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Seller or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Transaction Assets, or any part thereof; and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Transaction Assets or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of Buyer or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Buyer shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Transaction Assets so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.

Buyer shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Transaction Asset or in any way relating to the Transaction Asset or the rights of Buyer hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Repurchase Obligations, in such order as Buyer may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Buyer of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-608(a)(1)(C) of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Buyer account for the surplus, if any, to Seller. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Buyer arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of the Transaction Asset shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and
70
proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section 3.01) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Transaction Asset are insufficient to pay the Repurchase Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Buyer to collect such deficiency.
(m)(A) All proceeds of the Transaction Asset received by Seller consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Seller, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Seller be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by Seller (duly endorsed by Seller to Buyer, if required) and (B) any and all such proceeds received by Buyer (whether from Seller or otherwise) may, in the sole good faith discretion of Buyer, be held by Buyer as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Buyer against, the Repurchase Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Buyer shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Repurchase Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments on the Transaction Assets, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Transaction Asset.
(n)Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors' rights generally, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Buyer) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.
(o)Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available under this Agreement immediately upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller, including the right to set-off pursuant to Section 13.16. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided under any other agreement or by applicable law.
71
Section 12. No Duty of Buyer. The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer's interests in the Transaction Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 13. Miscellaneous.
13.01. Waiver. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
13.02. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein and under the Custodial Agreement (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by telex or telecopy) delivered to the intended recipient at its respective address specified below:

13.03. Indemnification and Expenses.
(a)Seller agrees to hold Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may he imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, the “Costs”) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Confirmation, any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any Confirmation, any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than any Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller also agrees to indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any net loss or expense (not to include any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) which Buyer actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3.04 of a prepayment and termination of a Transaction, or (ii) default by Seller in selling Transaction Assets to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Transaction Assets in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. A certificate as
73
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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller further agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Transaction Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or uncured breach of the Transaction Documents after notice thereof provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer for any such claims with respect to the GS Assets. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with the Transaction Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Asset Document, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party's rights under this Agreement, any Confirmation, any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. In the event the sale of a Transaction Asset is re-characterized as a loan, Seller hereby acknowledges that notwithstanding the fact that the obligations of Seller are secured by such Transaction Asset, all obligations of Seller hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for their own costs incurred with this Agreement, except to the extent provided in Section 11 and Section 13.03(a).
13.04. Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by Seller and Buyer and any provision of this Agreement may be waived by Buyer by an instrument in writing signed by Buyer.

13.12. Acknowledgments. Seller hereby acknowledges that:
(a)it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Confirmation and the other Transaction Documents;
(b)Buyer has no fiduciary relationship to Seller and the relationship between Seller and Buyer is solely that of seller and buyer; and
(c)no joint venture exists between Buyer and Seller.
13.13. Hypothecation or Pledge of Transactions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate the Transaction Asset delivered to Buyer by Seller. Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Transaction Assets and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Transaction Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Transaction Assets, provided, that Buyer shall not engage in repurchase transactions with the Transaction Assets or otherwise pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecate, or rehypothecate the Transaction Asset to the extent same would prevent, delay or impede Buyer's obligation to reconvey to Seller, and Seller's right to repurchase such Transaction Asset at any time as contemplated, required or permitted hereby.
13.14. Servicing.
(a)Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Transaction Assets to be maintained in conformity with accepted and prudent servicing practices in the industry for the same type of loans as the Transaction Assets and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing Seller provides for assets similar to the Transaction Assets which Seller owns. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts between Buyer and Seller, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) the date on which all the Repurchase Obligations have been paid in full or (iii) the transfer of servicing approved by Seller.
76
(b)If any of the Transaction Assets are serviced by Seller, (i) Seller agrees that Buyer is the collateral assignee of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of the Transaction Asset (the “Servicing Records”), and (ii) Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Transaction Assets and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. 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)If the Transaction Assets are serviced by Servicer, Seller (i) shall provide a copy of the servicing agreement to Buyer, which shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer (the “Servicing Agreement”), and (ii) shall provide a Servicer Notice to the Servicer substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (a “Servicer Notice”) and shall cause the Servicer to acknowledge and agree to the same. Any successor or assignee of a Servicer shall be approved in writing by Buyer and shall acknowledge and agree to a Servicer Notice prior to such successor's assumption of servicing obligations with respect to the Transaction Assets.
(d)For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not retain any economic rights to the servicing other than Seller's rights, if any, under the Servicing Agreement. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Transaction Assets are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis with such servicing retained by Seller or, if the relevant Transaction Asset is serviced by a Servicer, the Servicer in respect of that Transaction Asset.
(e)If the servicer of the Transaction Assets is Seller, Seller shall provide to Buyer a letter from Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may terminate any Servicing Agreement and in any event transfer servicing to Buyer's designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer, it being agreed that Seller will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of Buyer.
(f)After the Purchase Date, until the rights to the Transaction Assets under the Transaction Documents are relinquished by the Custodian, Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of such Transaction Assets and Seller will have no obligation or right to repossess such Transaction Assets or substitute another Transaction Asset, except as provided in the Custodial Agreement.
(g)In the event Seller is servicing the Transaction Assets, Seller shall permit Buyer from time to time to inspect Seller's or its Affiliate's servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that Seller or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Transaction Assets as provided in this Agreement.
77
(h)At all times when Seller or a Servicer is servicing the Transaction Asset, Seller shall cause such party to deliver to Buyer a monthly servicing update in such form as Buyer may reasonably require.
13.15. Periodic Due Diligence Review. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Transaction Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day's) prior notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Transaction Asset in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Transaction Assets, and shall provide Buyer with operating statements and occupancy reports (to the extent they are available after the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts by Seller to obtain same) for each Underlying Property relating to a Transaction Asset, as well as such other property-level information as Buyer may request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Transaction Asset Tape and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Transaction Assets, including without limitation ordering new credit reports and new appraisals on the Underlying Properties relating to the Transaction Assets and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Transaction Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Transaction Assets itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Transaction Asset in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Buyer shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel, if any) incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer's activities pursuant to this Section 13.15.
13.16. Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by this Agreement and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller,
78
any Affiliate of Seller, Parent Guarantor, or any Affiliate of Parent Guarantor. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
13.17. Intent.
(a)The parties hereto recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable) and that all payments hereunder are intended to be “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. Buyer and Seller agree that it is their mutual intent that the transactions executed under this Agreement shall qualify for safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code for “repurchase agreements” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code and “securities contracts” as defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code and, to that end, Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Buyer, Seller, at Buyer's expense, will prepare, execute and deliver any supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents as may be necessary or desirable, in Buyer's good faith discretion, in order to cause this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby to qualify as, comply with the provisions of, or otherwise satisfy, maintain or preserve the criteria for safe harbor treatment under the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that Buyer's failure to request, or Buyer's or Seller's failure to execute, such supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents does not in any way alter or otherwise change the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder shall qualify for safe harbor treatment under the Bankruptcy Code.
(b)It is understood that either party's right to liquidate Transaction Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 10 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of Transaction Assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
(c)The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of Transaction Assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
(d)It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
79
Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA or regulations promulgated thereunder).
(e)This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract” within the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code.
13.18. Single-Purpose Entity. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer, and covenants with Buyer, that as of the date hereof and so long as any of the Transaction Documents shall remain in effect:
(a)It is and intends to remain solvent and it has paid and will pay its debts and liabilities (including employment and overhead expenses) from its own assets as the same shall become due.
(b)It has complied and will comply with the provisions of its memorandum and articles of association.
(c)It has done or caused to be done and will do all things necessary to observe company formalities and to preserve its existence.
(d)It has maintained and will maintain all of its books, records, financial statements and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates, its shareholders and any other Person and it will file its own tax returns (except to the extent consolidation is required under GAAP or as a matter of law).
(e)It has been, is and will be, and at all times will hold itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including any Affiliate), shall correct any known misunderstanding regarding its status as a separate entity, shall conduct business in its own name, shall not identify itself or any of its Affiliates as a division or part of the other and shall maintain and utilize separate stationery, invoices and checks.
(f)It has not owned and will not own any property or any other assets other than the Transaction Assets and cash.
(g)It has not engaged and will not engage in any business other than the origination, acquisition, ownership, financing and disposition of the Transaction Assets in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Transaction Documents.
(h)It has not entered into, and will not enter into, any contract or agreement with any of its Affiliates, except upon terms and conditions that are
80
intrinsically fair and substantially similar to those that would be available on an arm's-length basis with Persons other than such Affiliate.
(i)It has not incurred and will not incur any indebtedness or obligation, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation), other than (A) obligations under the Transaction Documents, (B) obligations under the documents evidencing the Transaction Assets and (C) unsecured trade payables, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000 at any one time outstanding, incurred in the ordinary course of acquiring, owning, financing and disposing of the Transaction Assets; provided, however, that any such trade payables incurred by Seller shall be paid within 60 days of the date incurred unless a bona fide dispute exists.
(j)It has not made and will not make any loans or advances to any other person, and shall not acquire obligations or securities of any member or Affiliate of any member or any other Person.
(k)It will maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations.
(l)Except to the extent permitted by Section 8.04, neither it nor Parent Guarantor will seek its dissolution, liquidation or winding up, in whole or in part, or suffer any Change of Control, and to the extent within its control, Seller will not suffer any consolidation or merger.
(m)It will not commingle its funds and other assets with those of any of its Affiliates or any other Person.
(n)It has maintained and will maintain its assets in such a manner that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any of its Affiliates or any other Person.
(o)It has not held and will not hold itself out to be responsible for the debts or obligations of any other Person.
(p)To the extent within its control, Seller shall not permit Parent Guarantor to take any of the following actions: (i) dissolve or liquidate, in whole or in part, except in connection with a merger or consolidation where such Parent Guarantor is not the surviving entity if such transaction will not effect a Change of Control; (ii) consolidate or merge with or into any other entity or convey or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any entity if such action would result in a Change of Control; (iii) institute any proceeding to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Bankruptcy Code or consent to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a
81
receiver, rehabilitator, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the such member or Seller or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; (iv) amend the memorandum and articles of association of Seller; or (v) permit KBS Debt Holdings, LLC to transfer its equity interest in Seller.
(q)It has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than those normal and incidental to the acquisition, origination, ownership, servicing, administration, enforcement, financing and disposition of the Transaction Assets.
(r)It has conducted and shall conduct its business consistent with the requirements of being a bankruptcy remote, Single-Purpose Entity.
(s)It shall not maintain any employees.
13.19. Netting. If Buyer and Seller are “financial institutions” as now or hereinafter defined in Section 4402 of Title 12 of the United States Code (“Section 4402”) and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder:
(a)All amounts to be paid or advanced by one party to or on behalf of the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be “payment obligations” and all amounts to be received by or on behalf of one party from the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be “payment entitlements” within the meaning of Section 4402, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a “netting contract” as defined in Section 4402; and
(b)The payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be netted as follows: In the event that either party (the “defaulting party”) shall fail to honor any payment obligation under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder, the other party (the “nondefaulting party”) shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any payment to be made by the nondefaulting party to the defaulting party by the amount of the payment obligation that the defaulting party failed to honor.
13.20. Non-Assignability.
(a)This Agreement and the Transaction Documents are not assignable by Seller or Parent Guarantor. Buyer may from time to time assign or sell all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents without the consent of Seller; provided that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default Buyer shall not assign or sell all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to any of the parties set forth on Schedule 13.20 hereto without Seller's written consent; provided, however, further, that Buyer shall maintain for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees
82
specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Transaction Document to the extent of the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned to such assignee and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of Buyer which assumes the obligations of Buyer or (ii) to another Person which assumes the obligations of Buyer, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Transaction Documents. Unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing, Seller and Parent Guarantor shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller or Parent Guarantor.
(b)The Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Buyer remains a party hereto in an agency capacity for such participants, and as agent therefor, retains decision-making authority with respect to this Agreement and all Transactions hereunder, and (iv) Seller and Parent Guarantor shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.
(c)The Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 13.20, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Seller or any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that have been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller or any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, that such recipient has executed a customary non-disclosure agreement.
13.21. Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of any obligations by Seller or any Guarantor, or the transfer to Buyer of any property should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors' rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if Buyer is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that Buyer is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Buyer related thereto, the liability of Seller and each Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
13.22. Cash Management. In the event that any monies are held at the mortgage level by the lenders or servicer under the Existing Mortgage Loan or the Amended
83
Mortgage (each as defined in Schedule 6.01(j)), as the case may be) as the result of a default under the Existing Mortgage Loan or the Amended Mortgage (each as defined in Schedule 6.01(j)), as the case may be), Buyer and Seller hereby agree that the Replacement Mezz Loan (as defined in Schedule 6.01(j)) shall continue to be paid in accordance with the amortization schedule set forth in Exhibit B-2 set forth in Schedule 6.01(j) hereto; provided, however, that any interest payments paid directly by Borrower (as defined in Exhibit B-2 set forth in Schedule 6.01(j)) that would have otherwise been paid from monies being held at the mortgage level, shall nevertheless be credited towards the Minimum Liquidity requirement set forth in Section 9.10.
13.23. Time Before Foreclosure. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with all efforts, to refinance the Existing Mortgage Loan Documents (as such term is defined in Exhibit B-2 set forth in Schedule 6.01(j) hereto) with Seller in accordance with Exhibit B-2 set forth in Schedule 6.01(j) hereto and this Agreement
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.
