6.3Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein will survive the execution of this Amendment.

6.4Parties in Interest. All of the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

6.5Legal Expenses. The Seller Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable fees and expenses of special counsel to the Buyer incurred by the Buyer in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and all related documents.

6.6Counterparts. The Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but when taken together will constitute one document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic image (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) format or executed via DocuSign will be effective as a delivery of an original of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment and will create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as is such facsimile or electronic image signature page was an original thereof. However, this Amendment shall bind no party until the Seller, the Guarantor and the Buyer have executed a counterpart.

NO PRIOR COURSE OF DEALING, NO USAGE OF TRADE, AND NO ORAL STATEMENTS OR COMMENTS BY BUYER OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR OTHER AGENTS, WHETHER BEFORE, ON OR AFTER THE DATE HEREOF, WILL BE DEEMED TO BE A COMMITMENT OR AGREEMENT BY BUYER TO EXTEND, MODIFY, OR OTHERWISE RESTRUCTURE ANY FACILITY OR FORBEAR FROM EXERCISING ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE AMENDMENT, OR UNLESS THE SAME IS HEREAFTER REDUCED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF BUYER.

Buyer, on its own behalf, may control and transfer such authoritative copy as permitted by such law.

6.10Headings. The headings, captions and arrangements used in this Amendment are, unless specified otherwise, for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, amplify or modify the terms of this Amendment, nor affect the meaning thereof.

6.12Governing Law. This Amendment and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause  of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The other provisions of Section 20 of the Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.

6.13Most Favored Nation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment, in the event that Guarantor and/or any Subsidiary of Guarantor enters into any written agreement or amends in writing any other commercial real estate loan repurchase agreement, warehouse facility or credit facility which agreement or facility finances commercial real estate loans similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (the “Other Facility Agreements” and any other buyers or lenders that are party thereto, the “Other Buyers”) and any such Other Facility Agreement, as compared to this Amendment, contains a margin holiday or similar period relating to margin calls that is shorter than the Margin Holiday Period and the material provisions of such Other Facility Agreement are not otherwise materially more favorable to Guarantor or such Affiliate, then the Margin Holiday Period shall be automatically modified to incorporate such shorter period contained in such Other Facility Agreement.

6.14General Release.

(a)Seller and the Guarantor, for and on behalf of itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, fully, unconditionally, and irrevocably waives, releases, relinquishes and forever discharges Buyer, its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, its and their respective past, present and future directors, officers, managers, agents, employees, insurers, attorneys, representatives and all of their respective heirs, successors and assigns, (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all manner of action or causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, demands, judgments, damages (including compensatory and punitive damages), levies and executions of whatsoever kind, nature and/or description arising on or before the Effective Date, in each case whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, liquidated or unliquidated, joint or several, fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, contractual or tortious, which Seller, the Guarantor, or its legal representatives, successors or assigns, ever had or now has or may claim to have against any of the Released Parties, with respect to any matter whatsoever, including, without limitation, the Transaction Documents, the administration of any Transaction Documents, the negotiations relating to this Amendment and the other Transaction Documents executed in connection herewith and any other instruments and agreements executed by Seller and the Guarantor in connection therewith or herewith, arising on or before the Effective Date.

(b)Seller and the Guarantor covenant and agree not to sue any Released Party or in any way assist any other person in suing a Released Party with respect to any claim released herein. Seller and the Guarantor understand, acknowledge and agree that the release set forth in this Section may be plead as a full and complete defense to any claim described above and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of any provision in this Section.

(c)Seller and the Guarantor acknowledge that Buyer is specifically relying on the provisions contained in this Section as a material inducement in entering into the Amendment. It is the express intent of Seller and the Guarantor that the provisions set forth in this Section be construed as broadly as possible in favor of the Released Parties so as to forever foreclose the assertion by Seller or any Guarantor of any claims released hereby. The provision of this release will survive and continue to be in full force and effective irrespective of any termination of this Amendment (provided this Amendment takes effect as provided in the Section above entitled “Conditions Precedent”) or the end of the Margin Holiday Period.
