c) Interpretation.

Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. The following rules of this subsection (c) apply unless the context requires otherwise. The singular includes the plural and conversely. A gender includes all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning. A reference to a subsection, Section, Annex or Exhibit is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a Section of, or annex or exhibit to, this Agreement. A reference to a party to this Agreement or another agreement or document includes the party’s successors and permitted substitutes or assigns. A reference to an agreement or document is to the agreement or document as amended, modified, novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the extent prohibited by any Program Document. A reference to legislation or to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it, a legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory instrument issued under it. A reference to writing includes a facsimile transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and permanently visible form. A reference to conduct includes, without limitation, an omission, statement or undertaking, whether or not in writing. An Event of Default subsists until it has been waived in writing by Buyer. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation.” In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”; the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the word “through” means “to and including.” This Agreement may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters. All such limitations, tests and measurements are independent of each other and shall each be performed in accordance with their terms. Unless the context otherwise clearly requires, all accounting terms not expressly defined herein shall be construed, and all financial computations required under this Agreement shall be made, in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. References herein to “fiscal year”

and “fiscal quarter” refer to such fiscal periods of Seller. Except where otherwise provided in this Agreement any determination, consent, approval, statement or certificate made or confirmed in writing with notice to Seller by Buyer or an authorized officer of Buyer provided for in this Agreement is conclusive and binds the parties in the absence of manifest error, except where the consent of the Seller is required. A reference to an agreement includes a security interest, guarantee, agreement or legally enforceable arrangement whether or not in writing related to such agreement. A reference to a document includes an agreement (as so defined) in writing or a certificate, notice, instrument or document, or any information recorded in computer disk form. Where Seller is required to provide any document to Buyer under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant document shall be provided in writing or printed form unless Buyer requests otherwise. At the request of Buyer, the document shall be provided in computer disk form or both printed and computer disk form, unless such computer disk copy requires Seller to pay an unreasonable expense. This Agreement is the result of negotiations among and has been reviewed by counsels to Buyer and Seller, and is the product of all the parties. In the interpretation of this Agreement, no rule of construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such party proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of this Agreement or this Agreement itself. Except where otherwise expressly stated Buyer may give or withhold, or give conditionally, approvals and consents and may form opinions and make determinations and exercise discretion at its absolute discretion. Any requirement of good faith, discretion or judgment by Buyer shall not be construed to require Buyer to request or await receipt of information or documentation not immediately available from or with respect to Seller, a servicer of the Purchased Assets, any other Person or the Purchased Assets themselves.

3. THE TRANSACTIONS

a) Seller shall repurchase Purchased Assets from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date. Each obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to each Purchased Asset (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price except as otherwise provided herein). Seller is obligated to obtain the Purchased Assets from Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Seller’s expense on (or after) the related Repurchase Date.

b) Provided that the applicable conditions in Sections 10(a) and (b) have been satisfied, each Purchased Asset that is a Loan that is repurchased by Seller on the 10th day of each month (or, if such 10th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day) and each Purchased Asset that is an LLC Interest that is repurchased by Seller on the 20th day of each month (or, if such 20th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day) following the related initial Purchase Date (the day of the month so determined for each month, or any other date designated by Seller to Buyer for such a repurchase on at least one Business Day’s prior notice to Buyer, a “Repurchase Date,” which term shall also include the date determined by application of Section 20) shall automatically become subject to a new Transaction unless Buyer is notified by Seller at least one Business Day prior to the related Repurchase Date; provided that, if the Repurchase Date so determined is later than the Termination Date, the Repurchase Date for such Transaction shall automatically reset to the Termination Date, and the provisions of this sentence as it might relate to a new Transaction shall expire on such date. For each Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction, unless otherwise

agreed, (x) with respect to the LLC Interests, to the extent Buyer does not have access to such report through Citibank, N.A., Seller shall provide to Buyer the most recent Trustee Report immediately upon Seller’s receipt of same, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be calculated beginning on the first day and ending on the last day of the calendar month prior to the related Repurchase Date and settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Side Letter. In the event a Pricing Rate is based on a LIBO Rate that is not fixed for any such period, Agent shall establish a LIBO Rate on each Business Day, based on one-month LIBO Rate for each such day, and the Pricing Rate will change upon each change in LIBO Rate.

4. ENTERING INTO TRANSACTIONS; TRANSACTION NOTICE, CONFIRMATIONS

a) Unless otherwise agreed, Seller shall give Buyer notice by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day that is two Business Days prior to any proposed Purchase Date (the date on which such notice is given, the “Notice Date”). On the Notice Date, Seller shall request that Buyer enter into a Transaction by furnishing to Buyer a Transaction Notice, Loan Schedule and Asset Base Certificate. The Seller shall deliver to Custodian a Transaction Notice, the related Loan Schedule and the related Custodian’s Loan File for each Loan or LLC Interests subject to such Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Custody Agreement.

b) In the event that the parties hereto desire to enter into a Transaction on terms other than as set forth herein, the parties shall execute a “Confirmation” specifying such terms prior to entering into such Transaction. Any such Confirmation and the related Transaction Notice, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates.

5. PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

Unless otherwise agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds and all Purchased Assets transferred shall be transferred to the Custodian pursuant to the Custody Agreement. Any Repurchase Price received by Buyer after 2:00 p.m. New York City time shall be applied on the next succeeding Business Day.

6. MARGIN MAINTENANCE

a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller in such Transactions, at Buyer’s option, to transfer to Buyer cash, additional Loans or LLC Interests acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion (“Additional Purchased Assets”), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets, including any such Additional Purchased Assets, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount (such requirement, a “Margin Call”).

b) Notice required pursuant to Section 6 may be given by any means provided in Section 36 hereof. Any notice given before 1:00 p.m. New York time on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the next

succeeding Business Day; notice given after 1:00 p.m. New York time on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the second succeeding Business Day. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

7. INCOME PAYMENTS

Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Assets subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, all Income received, whether by Seller, Buyer, Custodian, Servicer or any servicer or any other Person, in respect of the Purchased Assets shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.1(c) of the Custody Agreement.

8. TAXES; TAX TREATMENT

a) All payments made by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority thereof or therein, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which the Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, (all such non-excluded taxes, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by the Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If the Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding; (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to the Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

b) In addition, the Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

c) The Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any

kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8(c), and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that the Buyer shall have provided the Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be; provided that Buyer gives notice to Seller of all deficiency notices received by the Buyer.

d) Any Foreign Buyer shall provide the Seller with properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. Each Foreign Buyer will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide the Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 8(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 8(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.

e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

f) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

9. SECURITY INTEREST

a) Seller and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired: (i) the Purchased Assets, (ii) the Records, (iii) all related Servicing Rights, (iv) all mortgage guaranties and insurance relating to such Purchased Assets (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise)

or the related Mortgaged Property and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance and all claims and payments thereunder, (v) all instruments, chattel paper, securities, investment property and general intangibles and other assets comprising or relating to the Purchased Assets, (vi) any securities account, including the Collection Account and all security entitlements to financial assets now or hereafter carried in or credited to any securities account, (vii) all rights to Income and the rights to enforce such payments arising from any of the Purchased Assets, (viii) all guarantees or other support for the Purchased Assets, (ix) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on the Purchased Assets, (x) any interest in the Purchased Assets or the servicing of the Purchased Assets, and (xi) any now existing or hereafter arising proceeds and distributions with respect to any of the foregoing and any other property, rights, titles or interests as are specified on a Transaction Notice (collectively, the “Collateral”). Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Collateral (including without limitation, its security interest in the Purchased Assets and any other collateral granted to Seller pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the perfection of such security interest is intended to be accomplished through possession of the related Purchased Assets by Buyer, the Custodian or by any other Person on Buyer’s behalf, and that such possession unless otherwise agreed is for Buyer’s own account.

b) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets and the Collateral without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any other Purchased Assets and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Purchased Assets whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Assets;

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any

time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Assets; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Assets; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Assets; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Assets; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Assets and the Collateral and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 20 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Assets. The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Purchased 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 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.

10. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

(xi) Each secured party (including any party that has a precautionary security interest in a Loan or LLC Interests) has released all of its right, title and interest in, to and under such Loan or LLC Interests (including, without limitation, any security interest that such secured party or secured party’s agent may have by virtue of its possession, custody or control thereof) and has filed Uniform Commercial Code termination statements in respect of any Uniform Commercial Code filings made in respect of such Loan or LLC Interests, and each such release and Uniform Commercial Code termination statement has been delivered to the Buyer prior to such Transaction.

Except as set forth in Sections 6 and 16, Seller shall give at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to Buyer if such repurchase shall occur on other than a Repurchase Date set forth in Section 3(b).

If such a Margin Deficit is applicable, Buyer shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller may thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 6.

12. RELIANCE

With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Buyer reasonably believes to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf.

13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Seller hereby represents and warrants, and shall on and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction and on and as of each date thereafter through and including the related Repurchase Date be deemed to represent and warrant, that:

a) Existence. The Seller (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and qualifies as a real estate investment trust under Section 856 of the Code and is in compliance with all provisions of the Code governing its status as a real estate investment trust, (b) has all requisite corporate 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, (c) is 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, and (d) is in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, except where failure so to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

b) Financial Condition. The Seller has heretofore furnished to the Buyer a copy of its audited consolidated balance sheets which include its consolidated Subsidiaries, each as of December 31, 2004. All such financial statements are materially complete and correct and fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Seller and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations for the fiscal year ended on said date, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2004, there has been no development or event or any prospective development or event which has had or should reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

c) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of the property thereof before any Governmental Authority, (i) as to which individually or in the aggregate there is a reasonable likelihood of an adverse decision which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which questions the validity or enforceability of any of the Program Documents or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and there is a reasonable likelihood of a Material Adverse Effect or adverse decision.

d) No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Program Documents or (b) the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of the charter or by-laws (or other organizational or governing documents) of the Seller, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Seller, or any of its Subsidiaries, is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such material agreement or instrument, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

e) Action. The Seller has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of each of the Program Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on its part; and each Program Document has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Seller and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms.

f) Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority, or any other Person, are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of the Program Documents to which it is a party

or for the legality, validity or enforceability thereof, except for filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement.

g) Margin Regulations. Neither a Transaction hereunder, nor the use of the proceeds thereof, will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

h) Taxes. The Seller and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by any of them, except for any such taxes, if any, that are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Seller and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are adequate.

i) Investment Company Act. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time. The Seller is not subject to any Federal or state statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur indebtedness.

a) Upon discovery by Seller of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement, Seller shall give prompt written notice thereof to Buyer. Upon any such discovery by Buyer, Buyer will notify Seller. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement shall survive delivery of the respective Custodian’s Loan Files to the Custodian and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer and Buyer’s successors and assigns. The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete due diligence investigation in connection with its purchase of any Loan or LLC Interests shall not affect Buyer’s right to demand repurchase as provided under this Agreement. Seller shall within five Business Days of the earlier of Seller’s discovery or Seller’s receiving notice, with respect to any Loan or LLC Interests, of (i) any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Appendix A to this Agreement or (ii) any failure to deliver any of the items required to be delivered as part of the Custodian’s Loan File within the time period required for delivery pursuant to the Custody Agreement, promptly cure such breach or delivery failure in all material respects. If within five Business Days after the earlier of Seller’s discovery of such breach or delivery failure or Seller’s receiving notice thereof such breach or delivery failure has not been remedied by Seller, Seller shall promptly upon receipt of written instructions from Buyer purchase such Loan or LLC Interests, as applicable, at a purchase price equal to the Repurchase Price with respect to such Loan or LLC Interests, as applicable, by depositing such Repurchase Price in the Collection Account; provided, however, that, with the exception of the delivery of a Note or LLC Certificate, if the Seller is diligently

pursuing a cure of such breach or delivery failure, Seller shall have ten days in addition to such five Business Day period to cure such breach or delivery failure in all material respects.

b) If Buyer determines that the introduction of, any change in, or the interpretation or administration of any requirement of law has made it unlawful or commercially impracticable to engage in any Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on LIBO Rate, then Seller (i) shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from Buyer (with a copy of such notice to Custodian), repurchase the Purchased Assets subject to the Transaction on the next succeeding Business Day and, at Seller’s election, concurrently enter into a new Transaction with Buyer with a Pricing Rate based on the Prime Rate plus the margin set forth in the Side Letter as part of the Pricing Rate and (ii) may elect, by giving notice to Buyer and Custodian, that all new Transactions shall have Pricing Rates based on the Prime Rate plus such margin.

c) If Buyer determines in its sole discretion that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s capital or on the capital of any Affiliate of Buyer as a consequence of such Change in Law on this Agreement, then from time to time Seller will compensate Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliate, as applicable, for such reduced rate of return suffered as a consequence of such Change in Law. Buyer shall provide Seller with prompt notice as to any Change in Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of any such Change in Law, Seller will have the right to terminate all Transactions then outstanding without any prepayment penalty as of a date selected by Seller, which date shall be prior to the then applicable Repurchase Date and which date shall thereafter for all purposes hereof be deemed to be the Repurchase Date.

e) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $2,000,000 in the aggregate (to the extent that it is, in the reasonable determination of the Buyer, uninsured and provided that any insurance or other credit posted in connection with an appeal shall not be deemed insurance for these purposes) shall be rendered against the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries by one or more courts, administrative tribunals or other bodies having jurisdiction over them and the same shall not be discharged (or provision shall not be made for such discharge) or bonded, or a stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof and the Seller or any such Subsidiary shall not, within said period of sixty (60) days, or such longer period during which execution of the same shall have been stayed or bonded, appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be stayed during such appeal; or

20. REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 19(f) or (g) hereof), shall have any or all of the following rights and remedies, which may be exercised by Buyer:

a) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed immediately to occur.

b) (i) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee any and all original papers, records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in Seller’s possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights thereon shall be deemed transferred to Buyer.

(ii) Buyer shall have the right to (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 20(b) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid

Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied first to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; third to all other Obligations; and any amounts remaining shall be paid to Seller.

(iii) 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 underlying 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 the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

c) Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are 10% recourse obligations of Seller to which Seller pledges its full faith and credit. In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or its designee (including the Custodian, to the extent acting as a custodian for the benefit of the Buyer), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Assets, any other Collateral or its proceeds and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Seller hereunder against all of Seller’s Obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such Obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

d) Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request.

e) Buyer may direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Buyer determines appropriate.

f) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate), and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with hedging or covering transactions related to the Purchased Assets.

g) Seller shall cause all sums received by it or on its behalf with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited with Custodian (or such other Person as Buyer may direct) after receipt thereof.

h) Buyer shall without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets and any other Collateral or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets and any other Collateral or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder to do. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver.

Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets and any other Collateral 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.

In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute.

Buyer shall have, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer, at Seller’s expense, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets and the Collateral without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and appoints Buyer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue the lien and security interest granted hereby and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Assets and the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents and execute assignments on behalf of Seller as its attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent.

21. DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law,

the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies.

22. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.

23. INDEMNITY

a) Seller agrees to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification, administration and amendment of the Program Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all collateral review and UCC search and filing fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Buyer with respect thereto, with respect to advising Buyer as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under this Agreement, with respect to negotiations with Seller or with other creditors of Seller or any of their Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, whether in any action, suit or litigation, any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Buyer) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

b) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and each of its respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the Program Documents and all other documents related thereto, any breach of a representation or warranty of Seller or Seller’s officer in this Agreement or any other Program Document, and all actions taken pursuant thereto) (i) the Transactions, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any acquisition or proposed acquisition or any indemnity payable under any Servicing Agreement or other servicing arrangement, (ii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any Property or any environmental action relating in any way to any Property or (iii) the actual or alleged violation of any federal, state, municipal or local predatory lending laws, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability

or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller also agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

c) If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments to Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under the Program Documents.

d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.

24. WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS

Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Assets as a result of restrictions upon Buyer or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that it may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.

25. REIMBURSEMENT

All sums reasonably expended by Buyer in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein shall be and remain Seller’s obligation. Seller agrees to pay, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Buyer and/or Custodian in connection with the enforcement of the Program Documents, the taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by Buyer (without duplication to Buyer) and/or Custodian pursuant thereto, any “due diligence” or loan agent reviews conducted by Buyer or on its behalf or any refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a “workout”. If Buyer determines that, due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by Buyer with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be an increase in the cost to Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions, then Seller agrees to pay to Buyer, from time to time, upon demand by Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the actual cost of additional amounts as specified by Buyer to

compensate Buyer for such increased costs. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of any such change in the eurocurrency reserve requirement or the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, Seller will have the right to terminate all Transactions then outstanding as of a date selected by Seller, which date shall be prior to the applicable Repurchase Date and which date shall thereafter for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be the Repurchase Date. In addition, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller if any events in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 25 occur.

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder 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 or any Affiliate thereof. 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.

26. FURTHER ASSURANCES

Seller agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to Buyer such additional assignments, acknowledgments, agreements, powers and instruments as are reasonably required by Buyer to carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement, to perfect the interests of Buyer in the Purchased Assets or to better assure and confirm unto Buyer its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

27. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; PRODUCT OF NEGOTIATION

This Agreement supersedes and integrates all previous negotiations, contracts, agreements and understandings between the parties relating to a sale and repurchase of Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Assets thereto, and it, together with the other Program Documents, and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, contains the entire final agreement of the parties. No prior negotiation, agreement, understanding or prior contract shall have any validity hereafter.

28. TERMINATION

This Agreement shall remain in effect until the earlier of (i) 364 days following the earlier of the first Purchase Date, provided that such date may be extended, in Buyer’s sole discretion, upon written request of the Seller delivered to Buyer not less than 60 days prior to such date, or (ii) at Buyer’s option, the occurrence of an Event of Default (such date, the “Termination Date”). However, no such termination shall affect Seller’s outstanding obligations to Buyer at the time of such termination. Pursuant to any extension of this Agreement, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer the Renewal Fee. Seller’s obligations to indemnify Buyer pursuant to this

Agreement shall survive the termination hereof. Failure of Buyer to respond to Seller’s request for an extension pursuant to clause (i) above shall be deemed a rejection of such request.

29. ASSIGNMENT

a) The Program Documents are not assignable by Seller. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents; provided, however, that Buyer shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), 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 Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, 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 such Buyer or (ii) to another Person which assumes the obligations of Buyer, be released from its obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and under the Program Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding any assignment by Buyer pursuant to this Section 29, Buyer shall remain liable as to the Transactions.

b) Buyer may sell to one or more Persons participations in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise enter into one or more syndications of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any such sale or syndication, Buyer shall be entitled, after consultation with the Seller, to change the structure, terms (including pricing) or amount, if Buyer determines that such changes are advisable in order to achieve a successful sale or syndication; provided, however that such change to the structure, terms (including pricing) or amount is not reasonably likely to trigger an Event of Default. With respect to any such sale or syndication, Seller agrees to (a) provide and cause its officers, directors and advisors to provide Buyer and any other proposed buyer that becomes part of the syndicate of Buyers upon request with all information reasonably deemed necessary by Buyer to effectuate such sale or syndication, (b) assist Buyer upon its reasonable request in the preparation of an offering memorandum to be used in connection with such sale or syndication and (c) make available the officers, directors and advisors of the Seller and its affiliates, from time to time, to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Seller and its affiliates, as appropriate, at a meeting or meetings of prospective buyers. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 8, each participant of Buyer shall be entitled to the additional compensation and other rights and protections afforded Buyer under Section 8 to the same extent as Buyer would have been entitled to receive them with respect to the participation sold to such participant.

30. AMENDMENTS, ETC.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor any consent to any failure to comply herewith or therewith shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Seller and Buyer, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

31. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of Program Document is declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of the Program Documents, and each Program Document shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

32. BINDING EFFECT; GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Seller may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Program Document without the prior written consent of Buyer. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

33. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTS, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SELLER HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION SELLER MAY HAVE TO, NON EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS. SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF A SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER PROGRAM DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 33 AND TO SELLER’S ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 36 OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS SELLER SHALL HAVE PROVIDED IN WRITING TO BUYER. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 33 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE BUYER TO (I) SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OR (II) BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST SELLER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

34. SINGLE AGREEMENT

Seller and Buyer acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions

hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, Seller and Buyer each agree (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfer in respect of any other Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

35. INTENT

Seller and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (“USC”) (except insofar as the Loans or LLC Interests subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), a “forward contract” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the USC and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the USC (except insofar as the Loans or LLC Interests subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

It is understood that Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 20 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the USC.

37. CONFIDENTIALITY

Buyer acknowledges that Seller is a public company subject to the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that the information furnished by Seller to Buyer in the Collection Report, Asset Base Certificate and otherwise under this Agreement may constitute material non-public information (“Confidential Information”) within the meaning of such acts. Except as consented to by Seller, Buyer hereby agrees that it will keep all Confidential Information confidential and not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party and will not engage in, directly or indirectly, any transactions involving the Seller’s publicly traded securities based upon such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 37, nothing herein shall prevent any division or department of the Buyer from engaging in any lawful transaction in the Seller’s publicly traded securities in connection with the ordinary course of the business of such division or department, provided that the decision to enter into such transaction is, as required by applicable law, not based, in whole or in part, on any part of the Confidential Information that is material non-public information.

This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and Agent and shall be held by Seller (and Seller shall cause Servicer to hold it) in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Buyer except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality or (ii) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or (iii) to the extent necessary in dealing with obligors or tenants in connection with Purchased Assets or (iv) with prior written notice to Buyer, to any approved Hedge

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of each party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, tax treatment and tax structure shall not include (i) the identity of any existing or future party (or any Affiliate of such party) to this Agreement or (ii) any specific pricing information or other commercial terms, including the amount of any fees, expenses, rates or payments arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

39. DUE DILIGENCE

Seller agrees to promptly provide Buyer and its agents with access to, copies of and extracts from any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing in computer data banks and computer software systems) relating to its financial condition, the performance of its obligations under the Program Documents, the documents contained in the Servicing File or the Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. In addition, Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews of (x) Seller and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and significant shareholders, including, without limitation, their respective financial condition and performance of their obligations under the Program Documents, (y) the Servicing File and the Purchased Assets and (z) the Servicer.

Annex I

Buyer Acting as Agent

This Annex I forms a part of the Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2005 (the “Agreement”), between Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. and Spirit Financial Corporation. This Annex I sets forth the terms and conditions governing all transactions in which a party selling assets or buying assets, as the case may be (“Agent”), in a Transaction is acting as agent for one or more third parties (each, a “Principal”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

1. Additional Representations. Agent hereby makes the following representations, which shall continue during the term of any Transaction: Principal has duly authorized Agent to execute and deliver the Agreement on its behalf, has the power to so authorize Agent and to enter into the Transactions contemplated by the Agreement and to perform the obligations of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, under such Transactions, and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution and delivery by Agent and such performance by it.

2. Identification of Principals. Agent agrees (a) to provide the other party, prior to the date on which the parties agree to enter into any Transaction under the Agreement, with a written list of Principals for which it intends to act as Agent (which list may be amended in writing from time to time with the consent of the other party), and (b) to provide the other party, before the close of business on the next business day after orally agreeing to enter into a Transaction, with notice of the specific Principal or Principals for whom it is acting in connection with such Transaction. If (i) Agent fails to identify such Principal or Principals prior to the close of business on such next business day or (ii) the other party shall determine in its sole discretion that any Principal or Principals identified by Agent are not acceptable to it, the other party may reject and rescind any Transaction with such Principal or Principals, return to Agent any Purchased Assets or portion of the Purchase Price, as the case may be, previously transferred to the other party and refuse any further performance under such Transaction, and Agent shall immediately return to the other party any portion of the Purchase Price or Purchased Assets, as the case may be, previously transferred to Agent in connection with such Transaction; provided, however, that (A) the other party shall promptly (and in any event within one business day) notify Agent of its determination to reject and rescind such Transaction and (B) to the extent that any performance was rendered by any party under any Transaction rejected by the other party, such party shall remain entitled to any Price Differential or other amounts that would have been payable to it with respect to such performance if such Transaction had not been rejected. The other party acknowledges that Agent shall not have any obligation to provide it with confidential information regarding the financial status of its Principals; Agent agrees, however, that it will assist the other party in obtaining from Agent’s Principals such information regarding the financial status of such Principals as the other party may reasonably request.

3. Limitation of Agent’s Liability. The parties expressly acknowledge that if the representations of Agent under the Agreement, including this Annex I, are true and correct in all material respects during the term of any Transaction and Agent otherwise complies with the provisions of this Annex I, then (a) Agent’s obligations under the Agreement shall not include a guarantee of performance by its Principal or Principals and (b) the other party’s remedies shall not include a right of setoff in respect of rights or obligations, if any, of Agent arising in other transactions in which Agent is acting as principal.

4. Multiple Principals.

(a) In the event that Agent proposes to act for more than one Principal hereunder, Agent and the other party shall elect whether (i) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions entered into on behalf of separate Principals or (ii) to aggregate such Transactions as if they were transactions by a single Principal. Failure to make such an election in writing shall be deemed an election to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of a single Principal.

(b) In the event that Agent and the other party elect (or are deemed to elect) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of separate Principals, the parties agree that (i) Agent will provide the other party, together with the notice described in Section 2(b) of this Annex I, notice specifying the portion of each Transaction allocable to the account of each of the Principals for which it is acting (to the extent that any such Transaction is allocable to the account of more than one Principal); (ii) the portion of any individual Transaction allocable to each Principal shall be deemed a separate Transaction under the Agreement; (iii) the margin maintenance obligations of Seller under Section 6 of the Agreement shall be determined on a Transaction-by-Transaction basis (unless the parties agree to determine such obligations on a Principal-by-Principal basis); and (iv) Buyer’s and Seller’s remedies under the Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if Agent had entered into a separate Agreement with the other party on behalf of each of its Principals.

(c) In the event that Agent and the other party elect to treat Transactions under the Agreement as if they were transactions by a single Principal, the parties agree that (i) Agent’s notice under Section 2(b) of this Annex I need only identify the names of its Principals but not the portion of each Transaction allocable to each Principal’s account; (ii) the margin maintenance obligations of Seller under Section 6 of the Agreement shall, subject to any greater requirement imposed by applicable law, be determined on an aggregate basis for all Transactions entered into by Agent on behalf of any Principal; and (iii) Buyer’s and Seller’s remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if all Principals were a single Seller or Buyer, as the case may be.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement (including, without limitation, this Annex I), the parties agree that any Transactions by Agent on

behalf of an employee benefit plan under ERISA shall be treated as Transactions on behalf of separate Principals in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Annex I (and all margin maintenance obligations of the parties shall be determined on a Transaction- by-Transaction basis).

5. Interpretation of Terms. All references to “Seller” or “Buyer”, as the case may be, in the Agreement shall, subject to the provisions of this Annex I (including, among other provisions, the limitations on Agent’s liability in Section 3 of this Annex I), be construed to reflect that (i) each Principal shall have, in connection with any Transaction or Transactions entered into by Agent on its behalf, the rights, responsibilities, privileges and obligations of a “Seller” or “Buyer”, as the case may be, directly entering into such Transaction or Transactions with the other party under the Agreement, and (ii) Agent’s Principal or Principals have designated Agent as their sole agent for performance of Seller’s obligations to Buyer or Buyer’s obligations to Seller, as the case may be, and for receipt of performance by Buyer of its obligations to Seller or Seller of its obligations to Buyer, as the case may be, in connection with any Transaction or Transactions under the Agreement (including, among other things, as Agent for each Principal in connection with transfers of Securities, cash or other property and as agent for giving and receiving all notices under the Agreement). Both Agent and its Principal or Principals shall be deemed “parties” to the Agreement and all references to a “party” or “either party” in the Agreement shall be deemed revised accordingly.
