Schedule 1

EXHIBIT VI-II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED LOAN WHICH IS A PARTICIPATION INTEREST IN A WHOLE LOAN

(1)

Senior Interest; Ownership of Purchased Loans. The related participation interest (the “Participation Interest”) is a senior participation interest in a Whole Loan. In each case, the related Whole Loan (the “Underlying Whole Loan”) is a mortgage loan secured by a first priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage related to such Participation Interest was subject to any other assignment, participation (other than senior pari passu Participation Interests in the related Underlying Whole Loan issued in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents) or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, such Participation Interest free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Participation Interest other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement and rights of the holder of a related “B note” in an “A/B” structure in a commercial real estate loan (a “Junior Interest”). Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer such Participation Interest, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Participation Interest free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Participation Interest other than the rights of the holder of a related Junior Interest.

(2)

Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date or as of the date that such entity held the related Participation Interest, each holder of such Participation Interest was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Participation Interest by Buyer.

(3)

Due Diligence Package. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, the information pertaining to such Participation Interest which is set forth in the Due Diligence Package is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date.

(4)

Absence of Required Consents. Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the related Purchased Loan Documents, and assuming that Buyer and any other transferees comply with any intercreditor restrictions set forth in the related Purchased Loan Documents limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees”, “Qualified Conduit Lenders” or such comparable terms or conditions under the applicable Purchased Loan Documents, no

VI-1

consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Participation Interest or for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Participation Interest (except for compliance with applicable Requirements of Law in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies by Buyer). No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

(5)

Absence of Required Governmental Actions. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Participation Interest.

(6)

Delivery of Original Certificate. Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee the original participation certificate or other similar document(s) representing ownership of such Participation Interest, however denominated, endorsed by Seller in blank.

(7)

No Material Default; Payment Record. As of the Purchase Date and the date of the transfer of any Margin Excess to Seller, neither the related Participation Interest nor the related Underlying Whole Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required debt service payments since issuance of such Participation Interest or origination of such Underlying Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and neither such Participation Interest nor such Underlying Whole Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. As of the Purchase Date and the date of the transfer of any Margin Excess to Seller, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such Participation Interest or Underlying Whole Loan, and (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of such Participation Interest or Underlying Whole Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in Exhibit VI-I and this Exhibit VI-II (including, but not limited to, the prior sentence). No person other than the holder of such Underlying Whole Loan may declare any event of default under such Underlying Whole Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the related Underlying Whole Loan documents.

(8)

Not a Security. Such Participation Interest has not been and shall not be deemed to be a Security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

VI-2

(9)

No Notice of Liabilities. As of the Purchase Date, Seller has not received written notice of any outstanding material liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind for which the holder of such Participation Interest is or may become obligated under the related Purchased Loan Documents.

(10)

No Advance of Funds. Seller has not advanced funds, or, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, received any advance of funds from a party other than the Mortgagor relating to such Participation Interest, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such Participation Interest (other than as contemplated by the related Purchased Loan Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a Mortgagee-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Purchased Loan Documents).

(11)

No Offsets, Defenses, Etc. As of the Purchase Date, with respect to the related Participation Interest, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right to rescission with respect to any related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements executed in connection therewith that would deny the holder of such Participation Interest the principal benefits intended to be provided thereby, except with respect to the related Underlying Whole Loan as set forth in the representation and warranty in Paragraph 2 (“Loan Document Status”) in this Exhibit VI-II.

(12)

Bankruptcy. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge as of the Purchase Date and the date of the transfer of any Margin Excess to Seller, neither the related Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no co-partcipant, co-lender, Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in a state or federal Act of Insolvency, and in the case of any Foreign Purchased Loan, is not a debtor in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, administration, examinership or similar proceeding.

(13)

No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. Except for such Participation Interest and such other senior pari passu Participation Interests in the related Underlying Whole Loan issued in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents, the related Underlying Whole Loan does not have a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date) or an equity participation by Seller (excluding any equity interest held or pledged in connection with a Mezzanine Loan or preferred equity interest).

(14)

Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications.

VI-3

altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from any of its material obligations under the Purchased Loan.

(15)

Compliance with Usury Laws. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, in reliance solely upon legal opinions delivered in connection with a Purchased Loan, the interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of (i) such Purchased Loan and (ii) the related Underlying Whole Loan complied (in the case of clause (i), as of the Purchase Date, and in the case clause (ii), as of the date of origination) with, or was exempt from, applicable laws including state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

(16)

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Seller pursuant to each related Purchased Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with Seller under the related Purchased Loan Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer or its servicer.

(17)

Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, the related originator if Seller was not the originator of the related Underlying Whole Loan or issuer of such Participation Interest) with respect to such Participation Interest and the related Underlying Whole Loan have been, in all material respects, in material compliance with applicable law; and as of the date of its origination or issuance, as applicable, such Participation Interest and the related Underlying Whole Loan (if originated or issued by a Person other than Seller or an Affiliate, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge), the origination or issuance thereof, as applicable, complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination or issuance of such Participation Interest and the related Underlying Whole Loan, as applicable; provided, that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit VI-II.
