GRANTING CLAUSES

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, in each case, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired or arising out of (in each case, to the extent of the Issuer’s interest therein and specifically excluding any interest in the related Future Funding Participation therein and excluding any interest in the Excepted Property):

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.2(c) and this Section 2.5(e).

- 69 -

(i) Except as otherwise set forth below, transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor’s nominee. Transfers of a Global Note to a Definitive Note may only be made in accordance with Section 2.10.

(ii) Regulation S Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note or for a Definitive Note or to transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note or for a Definitive Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or DTC, as the case may be, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note or for a Definitive Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of:

(1) if the transferee is taking a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or DTC, as the case may be, directing the Notes Registrar to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note, but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Notes to be exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with DTC to be credited with such increase and a duly completed certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I-2; or

(2) if the transferee is taking a Definitive Note, a duly completed transfer certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I-3, certifying that such transferee is an IAI, then the Notes Registrar shall either (x) if the transferee is taking a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be transferred or exchanged and the Notes Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note or (y) if the transferee is taking an interest in a Definitive Note, the Notes Registrar shall record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and, upon execution by the Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes, as applicable, registered in the names specified in the instructions described above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal

- 70 -

amount of the interest in the Regulation S Global Note transferred by the transferor).

(iii) Definitive Note or Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, such holder, provided such holder or, in the case of a transfer, the transferee is not a U.S. person and is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction, may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of:

(1) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member directing the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s Notes, in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, and in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, such Holder’s Definitive Notes properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee;

(2) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and the Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg account to be credited with such increase;

(3) in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee; and

(4) a duly completed certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I-1, then the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note (or, in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Notes) and to increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note (or, in the case of a cancellation of Definitive Notes, equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so cancelled).

- 71 -

(iv) Transfer of Rule 144A Global Notes to Definitive Notes. If, in accordance with Section 2.10, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note for a Definitive Note or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.10, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for a Definitive Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (1) a duly complete certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I-3 and (2) appropriate instructions from DTC, if required, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred or exchanged, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes, registered in the names specified in the instructions described in clause (2) above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Rule 144A Global Note transferred by the transferor).

(v) Transfer of Definitive Notes to Rule 144A Global Notes. If a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or to transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such Definitive Note for beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note (provided that no IAI may hold an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note). Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (1) a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee; (2) a duly completed certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I-2; (3) instructions given in accordance with DTC’s procedures from an Agent Member to instruct DTC to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Notes in an amount equal to the Definitive Notes to be transferred or exchanged; and (4) a written order given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the participant’s account of DTC to be credited with such increase, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and approve the instructions at DTC, concurrently with such cancellation, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note transferred or exchanged.

(vi) Other Exchanges. In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.10, a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, such Notes may be exchanged for one another

- 72 -

only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above (including certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers are to a QIB or are to a non-U.S. Person, or otherwise comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Note Administrator.

(f) Removal of Legend. If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth in Exhibits A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2, D-1, D-2, E-1, E-2, F-1, F-2, G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, G-5, G-6, H-1, H-2, H-3, H-4, H-5 and H-6, and if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the Notes so issued shall bear such applicable legend, or such applicable legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel of an attorney at law licensed to practice law in the State of New York (and addressed to the Issuer and the Note Administrator), as may be reasonably required by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the effect that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S, as applicable, the 1940 Act or ERISA. So long as the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is relying on an exemption under or promulgated pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer shall not remove that portion of the legend required to maintain an exemption under or promulgated pursuant to the 1940 Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, as confirmed in writing by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the Note Administrator, the Note Administrator, at the direction of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend.

(g) Each beneficial owner of Regulation S Global Notes shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit I-1.

(h) Each beneficial owner of Rule 144A Global Notes shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit I-2.

(i) Each Holder of Definitive Notes shall make the representations and agreements set forth in the certificate attached as Exhibit I-3.

(j) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with Section 2.5(a) shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder.

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, neither the Note Administrator nor the Notes Registrar (nor any other Transfer Agent) shall be responsible or liable for compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), the 1940 Act, ERISA or the Code (or any applicable regulations thereunder); provided, however, that if a specified transfer certificate or Opinion of Counsel is required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar prior to registration of transfer of a Note, the Note Administrator and/or Notes Registrar, as applicable, is required to request, as a condition for registering the transfer of the Note, such certificate or Opinion of

- 73 -

Counsel and to examine the same to determine whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof (and the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if it determines that such certificate or Opinion of Counsel does not so conform).

(l) If the Note Administrator has actual knowledge or is notified by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager that (i) a transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Note was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a transferee failed to deliver to the Note Administrator any certification required to be delivered hereunder or (iii) the holder of any interest in a Note is in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certification or any deemed representation or agreement of such holder, the Note Administrator shall not register such attempted or purported transfer and if a transfer has been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee (such purported transferee, a “Disqualified Transferee”) and the last preceding holder of such interest in such Note that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer of such Note by such Holder.

In addition, the Note Administrator may require that the interest in the Note referred to in (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding paragraph be transferred to any Person designated by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager at a price determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, based upon its estimation of the prevailing price of such interest and each Holder, by acceptance of an interest in a Note, authorizes the Note Administrator to take such action. In any case, none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Note Administrator shall be held responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of any required transfer under this Section 2.5(l).

(m) Each Holder of Notes approves and consents to (i) the purchase of the Closing Date Collateral Interests by the Issuer from the Seller on the Closing Date and (ii) any other transaction between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates that are permitted under the terms of this Indenture or the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement.

(n) As long as any Note is Outstanding, the Retained Securities, any retained or repurchased Notes, the Preferred Shares and the ordinary shares of the Issuer held by BRSP Sub-REIT, the Retention Holder or any other disregarded entity of BRSP Sub-REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be transferred (whether by means of actual transfer or a transfer of beneficial ownership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), pledged or hypothecated to any other Person (except to an affiliate that is wholly-owned by BRSP Sub-REIT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) unless the Issuer receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion (or has previously received a No Trade or Business Opinion).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture Accounts (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such account) will be owned by BRSP Sub-REIT, if the Issuer is wholly-owned by BRSP Sub-REIT, or a subsequent REIT that wholly owns the Issuer, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer shall provide to the Note Administrator (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the Closing Date, and (ii) any additional

- 74 -

IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Note Administrator as may be necessary (x) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (y) to permit the Note Administrator to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Indenture Accounts or any amounts paid to the Issuer. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, Issuer shall timely provide to the Note Administrator accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. The Note Administrator shall have no liability to Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Indenture Accounts pursuant to applicable law arising from the Issuer’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Indenture Accounts absent the Note Administrator having first received (i) the requisite written investment direction from the Issuer with respect to the investment of such funds, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

Section 2.6 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note. If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the relevant Transfer Agent (each, a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to each Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request (which Issuer Request shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt by the Note Administrator of a Note that has been signed by the Issuer, and the Co-Issuer, if applicable), the Note Administrator shall cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If, after delivery of such new Note, a bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered.

- 75 -

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Note Aministrator) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.7 Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Each Class of Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date), except as otherwise set forth below. Payment of interest on each Class of Notes will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Class of Notes senior thereto. Interest will cease to accrue on each Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the date of repayment or the Stated Maturity Date unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless an Event of Default occurs with respect to such payments of principal. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on the Class A Notes; or, if no Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Notes of the Controlling Class, shall accrue at the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class until paid as provided herein.

(b) (i) So long as any of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes or the Class B Notes are outstanding, the Class C Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class C Notes and will not be considered “due and payable” until the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class C Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (ii) so long as any of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes, the Class B Notes or the Class C Notes are outstanding, the Class D Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class D Notes and will not be considered “due and payable” until the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class D Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (iii) so long as any of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes are outstanding, the Class E Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class E Notes and will not be considered “due and payable” until the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class E Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments, (iv) so long as any of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes or the Class E Notes are outstanding, the

- 76 -

Class F Deferred Interest and the Class F-E Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class F Notes or the Class F-E Notes, as applicable, and will not be considered “due and payable” until the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class F Deferred Interest and Class F-E Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (v) so long as any of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes, the Class E Notes, the Class F Notes, the Class F-E Notes or the Class F-X Notes are outstanding, the Class G Deferred Interest and the Class G-E Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class G Notes of the Class G-E Notes, as applicable, and will not be considered “due and payable” until the Payment Date on which funds are available to pay such Class G Deferred Interest and Class G-E Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The failure to pay such Class C Deferred Interest, Class D Deferred Interest, Class E Deferred Interest, Class F Deferred Interest, Class F-E Deferred Interest, Class G Deferred Interest or the Class G-E Deferred Interest as a result of the operation of the Priority of Payments will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.

(c) The principal of each Class of Notes matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity Date for such Class, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each Class of Notes may only occur pursuant to the Priority of Payments. The payment of principal on any Note (x) may only occur after each Class more senior thereto is no longer Outstanding and (y) is subordinated to the payment on each Payment Date of the principal due and payable on each Class more senior thereto and certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Notes that are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity Date (or the earlier date of Maturity) of such Class of Notes or any Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Classes of Notes most senior thereto with respect to such Class have been paid in full. Payments of principal on the Notes in connection with a Clean-up Call, Tax Redemption, Auction Call Redemption or Optional Redemption will be made in accordance with Section 9.1 and the Priority of Payments.

(d) As a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Issuer shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Security under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or the Cayman Islands or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax

- 77 -

Withholding and Reporting (Entities)), Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim that Income Is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms). In addition, each of the Issuer, Co-Issuer, the Trustee, Preferred Share Paying Agent or any Paying Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its Collateral and otherwise as may be necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with all applicable laws. Each Holder and each beneficial owner of Notes agree to provide any certification requested pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, the Issuer shall require, as a condition to payment without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax under the FATCA, information to comply with FATCA or the Cayman FATCA Legislation requirements pursuant to clause (xiv) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit I-1, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(g), or pursuant to clause (xv) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit I-2, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(h), or pursuant to clause (xiii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit I-3, made pursuant to Section 2.5(i), as applicable. Noteholders shall be required to provide to the Issuer, the Note Administrator or their agents all information, documentation or certifications acceptable to it to permit the Issuer or the Note Administrator to comply with its tax reporting obligations under applicable law (including FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation), including any applicable cost basis reporting obligations. Each Holder is deemed to agree and represent that the Issuer and/or the Trustee or their agents or representatives may (1) provide such information and documentation and any other information concerning its investment in such Notes to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant tax authority and (2) take such other steps as the deem necessary or helpful to comply with FATCA and the Cayman FATCA Legislation.

(e) Payments in respect of interest on and principal on the Notes shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Holder or its nominee; provided that the Holder has provided wiring instructions to the Paying Agent on or before the related Record Date or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by a Dollar check drawn on a bank in the United States, or by a Dollar check mailed to the Holder at its address in the Notes Register. The Issuer expects that the Depository or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note held by the Depository or its nominee, shall immediately credit the applicable Agent Members’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective beneficial interests in such Global Note as shown on the records of the Depository or its nominee. The Issuer also expects that payments by Agent Members to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through Agent Members will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of the Agent Members. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate

- 78 -

Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at the office of the Paying Agent (or, to a foreign paying agent appointed by the Note Administrator outside of the United States if then required by applicable law, in the case of a Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note) on or prior to such Maturity. None of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the Holder of any Note with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests held therein. In the case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity Date thereof) the Issuer or, upon Issuer Request, the Note Administrator, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall not more than thirty (30) nor fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to the Persons entitled thereto at their addresses appearing on the Notes Register, a notice which shall state the date on which such payment will be made and the amount of such payment and shall specify the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(f) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a) and Section 2.7(e), Holders of Notes as of the Record Date in respect of a Payment Date shall be entitled to the interest accrued and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and principal payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date. All such payments that are mailed or wired and returned to the Paying Agent shall be held for payment as herein provided at the office or agency of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2 (or returned to the Trustee).

(g) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

(h) Payments of principal to Holders of the Notes of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Notes of such Class on such Record Date.

(i) Interest accrued with respect to the Notes shall be calculated as described in the applicable form of Note attached hereto.

(j) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date, Redemption Date or upon Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Co-Issuer under the Offered Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents are limited-recourse obligations of the Issuer and non-recourse obligations of the Co-Issuer. The Class F Notes, the Class F-E Notes, the Class F-X Notes, the Class G Notes, the Class G-E Notes and the Class G-X Notes are limited recourse

- 79 -

obligations of the Issuer. The Notes are payable solely from the Collateral and following realization of the Collateral, all obligations of the Co-Issuers, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to the Class F Notes, the Class F-E Notes, the Class F-X Notes, the Class G Notes, the Class G-E Notes and the Class G-X Notes, and any claims of the Noteholders, the Trustee or any other parties to any Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Notes against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder, limited partner or incorporator of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any of their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture (to the extent it relates to the obligation to make payments on the Notes) until such Collateral have been realized, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation in respect of the Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

(l) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal that were carried by such other Note.

(n) Payments in respect of the Preferred Shares as contemplated by Sections 11.1(a)(i)(20), 11.1(a)(ii)(18) and 11.1(a)(iii)(19) shall be made by the Paying Agent to the Preferred Share Paying Agent.

Section 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, and any of their respective agents may treat as the owner of a Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Notes Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest and other amounts on such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and none of the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, or any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the Depository, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be considered the

owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices. With respect to the Preferred Shares, on any Payment Date, the Note Administrator shall deliver to the Preferred Share Paying Agent the distributions thereon for distribution to the Preferred Shareholders.

No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Notes Registrar shall be destroyed or held by the Notes Registrar in accordance with its standard retention policy.

Section 2.10 Global Notes; Definitive Notes; Temporary Notes.

(ii) upon Transfer of Global Notes to an IAI or a QIB in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(e)(ii), Section 2.5(e)(iii) or Section 2.5(e)(vi);

(iii) if a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange such Definitive Note for one or more Definitive Notes or transfer such Definitive Note to a transferee who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note in accordance with this Section 2.10, such holder may effect such exchange or transfer upon receipt by the Notes Registrar of (A) a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, and (B) duly completed certificates in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I-3, upon receipt of which the Notes Registrar shall then cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Co-Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes bearing the same designation as the Definitive Note endorsed for transfer, registered in the names specified in the assignment described in clause (A) above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note surrendered by the transferor);

(iv) in the event that the Depository notifies the Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for a Global Note or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a “Clearing Agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days of such notice, the Global Notes deposited with the

- 81 -

Depository pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof subject to the procedures and conditions set forth in this Section 2.10.

(b) Any Global Note that is exchanged for a Definitive Note shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Note Administrator’s Corporate Trust Office together with necessary instruction for the registration and delivery of a Definitive Note to the beneficial owners (or such owner’s nominee) holding the ownership interests in such Global Note. Any such transfer shall be made, without charge, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of the same Class and authorized denominations. Any Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5(f), bear the applicable legend set forth in Exhibits A-2, B-2, C-2, D-2, E-2, F-2, G-2, G-4, G-6, H-2, H-4 and H-6, as applicable, and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in such applicable legend. The Holder of each such registered individual Global Note may transfer such Global Note by surrendering it at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator, or at the office of the Paying Agent.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b), the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section 2.10(a), the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly make available to the Notes Registrar a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes.

Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer may execute and, upon Issuer Order, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Definitive Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Definitive Notes.

If temporary Definitive Notes are issued, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall cause permanent Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. The Definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, or provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the rules and regulations of any applicable notes exchange, all as determined by the Officers executing such Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the applicable temporary Definitive Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer for such purpose, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Note, the

- 82 -

Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11 U.S. Tax Treatment of Notes and the Issuer; AML Compliance.

(a) Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Notes (unless held by BRSP Sub-REIT or any entity disregarded into BRSP Sub-REIT) be treated as debt and that the Issuer be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary (unless the Issuer has received a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion). Each prospective purchaser and any subsequent transferee of a Note or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat such Note in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) The Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer shall account for the Notes, and prepare any reports to Noteholders and tax authorities consistent with the intentions expressed in Section 2.11(a).

(c) Each Holder of Notes shall timely furnish to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or their respective agents any completed U.S. federal income tax form or certification (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for the United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities)), IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim that Income is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States)) or any successors to such IRS forms that the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or their respective agents may reasonably request and shall update or replace such forms or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, Noteholders shall timely furnish any information required pursuant to Section 2.7(d).

(d) Each Holder will provide the Issuer or its agents with such information and documentation that may be required for the Issuer to achieve AML Compliance and shall update or replace such information or documentation, as may be necessary (the “Holder AML Obligations”).

Section 2.12 Authenticating Agents. Upon the request of the Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator shall, and if the Note Administrator so chooses the Note Administrator may, pursuant to this Indenture, appoint one (1) or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of

- 83 -

this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Note Administrator.

Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer. The Note Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Note Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

The Note Administrator agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent appointed by it from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.7. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.13 Forced Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of a Note or interest therein to a U.S. Person who is determined not to have been both (i) a QIB or an IAI and (ii) a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of the Note or interest therein shall be null and void and any such proposed transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator or the Trustee shall have written notice (which includes via electronic mail) may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee for all purposes.

(b) If the Issuer determines that any Holder of a Note has not satisfied the applicable requirement described in Section 2.13(a) (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), then the Issuer shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, a Trust Officer of the Note Administrator or a Trust Officer of the Trustee (and notice by the Note Administrator or the Trustee to the Issuer (if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge and makes such discovery)), send notice to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within thirty (30) days (10 days in the case of a Non-Permitted Holder for ERISA-related reasons) of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer its Note or interest therein, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or a third party acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one

- 84 -

or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Note, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Note Administrator to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(b) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale or exercise of such discretion.

(c) If a Holder of a Note fails for any reason to (i) comply with the Holder AML Obligations (ii) such information or documentation is not accurate or complete, or (iii) the Issuer otherwise reasonably determines that such Holder’s acquisition, holding or transfer of an interest in any Note would cause the Issuer to be unable to achieve AML Compliance, the Issuer (or any intermediary on the Issuer’s behalf) shall have the right to (x) compel the relevant Holder to sell its interest in such Note or (y) sell such interest on such Holder’s behalf. The Issuer shall not compel sales for failure to provide such other information or documentation as may be required under the Cayman AML Regulations unless the Issuer reasonably determines the Holder’s acquisition, holding or transfer of an interest in such Note would result in a materially adverse effect on the Issuer.

Section 2.14 No Gross Up. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges.

Section 2.15 Credit Risk Retention. The EU/UK Retention Holder shall timely deliver (or cause to be timely delivered) to the Trustee (via email to cmbstrustee@wilmingtontrust.com) and the Note Administrator (via email to CCTEURRCompliance@computershare.com and CCTCREBondAdmin@computershare.com with a subject line including “BRSP 2026-FL3 – POST”) any notices contemplated by Section 10.12(a)(v).

Section 2.16 Exchangeable Notes; Exchange of MASCOT Notes.

(a) At any time on or after the Initial MASCOT Note Issuance Date all or a portion of the Class F Notes and the Class G Notes (such Notes to be exchanged, the “Exchangeable Notes”) may be exchanged for proportionate interests in one or more classes of certain other Notes and vice versa (such Notes received in such an exchange, the “Exchanged Notes”). The Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged by the Holders thereof for (i) a corresponding MASCOT P&I Note with the same principal balance as the Class F Note or the Class G Note, as applicable, surrendered in the exchange but with a reduced Note Interest Rate, and (ii) a MASCOT Interest Only Note that has a notional balance equal to the principal balance of the MASCOT P&I Note received in such exchange with a fixed interest rate equal to such reduction in Note Interest Rate. Specifically, with respect to the exchange of the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes for

- 85 -

corresponding MASCOT Notes, the per annum interest rates payable on the MASCOT P&I Notes and the MASCOT Interest Only Notes shall be determined, on the date of such exchange, by the holder of the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes, as applicable, surrendered in such exchange. The aggregate interest rates of the Exchanged Notes received in the exchange shall equal the aggregate interest rate of the Exchangeable Notes surrendered for exchange. The MASCOT Interest Only Notes are not entitled to any payments of principal and shall have an Aggregate Outstanding Amount of zero.

(b) (i) With respect to the exchange of the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes for corresponding MASCOT Notes, each of (A) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the MASCOT P&I Note received in the exchange and (B) the Aggregate Outstanding Notional Amount of the MASCOT Interest Only Notes received in the exchange shall equal the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes, as applicable, exchanged. The MASCOT Interest Only Notes are not entitled to any payments of principal and have an Aggregate Outstanding Amount of zero.

(ii) The aggregate Note Interest Rates of the Exchanged Notes received in the exchange must equal the aggregate Note Interest Rate of the Exchangeable Notes surrendered for exchange.

(c) Exchanges of the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes for MASCOT Notes and any subsequent exchange of such MASCOT Notes for the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes may occur repeatedly.

(d) With respect to an exchange of some or all of the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes, as applicable, the Holders of such MASCOT P&I Notes shall be entitled to exercise all the voting rights (including any rights as the Controlling Class) and objection rights that are allocated to such exchanged Class F Notes or Class G Notes, as applicable, and the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of such MASCOT P&I Notes shall be used to determine if the requisite percentage of Holders under this Indenture has voted, consented or otherwise given direction; provided that, in connection with any supplemental indenture that affects a Class of MASCOT Notes in a manner that is materially different from the effect of such supplemental indenture on the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes, as applicable, the Holders of the applicable MASCOT Notes shall vote as a separate class.

(e) The Class F-X Notes and the Class G-X Notes are interest only notes that receive interest payments but do not receive principal payments. Interest on the MASCOT Interest Only Notes is calculated on a balance equal to the “Aggregate Outstanding Notional Amount,” which shall, as of any date, equal the Aggregate Outstanding Amount on such date of the related MASCOT P&I Note.

(f) In order to effect an exchange of Exchangeable Notes, the Holder shall submit a duly executed Officer’s Certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit T to the Note Administrator no earlier than ten (10) Business Days before the proposed exchange date and no later than five (5) Business Days before the proposed exchange date. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be in writing, and shall be sent to the Trustee and Note Administrator at its Corporate Trust

- 86 -

Office. The Officer’s Certificate must be on the Holder’s letterhead, carry a medallion stamp guarantee and set forth the following information: (i) the CUSIP number of each Exchangeable Note and Exchanged Note; (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Aggregate Outstanding Notional Amount, as applicable, of the Notes to be exchanged; (iii) the Holder’s DTC participant name and number to be debited and credited; and (iv) the proposed exchange date. The exchange date with respect to any exchange may be any Business Day other than (1) the first or last Business Day of the month, (2) any Payment Date, (3) any Record Date or (4) any day between a Record Date and the next Payment Date. Any such notice shall become irrevocable on the second Business Day before the proposed exchange date. The Holder must pay the Note Administrator a fee equal to $5,000 for each exchange request and such fee must be received by the Note Administrator prior to the exchange date or such exchange shall not be effected. In addition, any Holder wishing to effect such an exchange must pay any other expenses related to such exchange, including any fees charged by DTC. The Note Administrator shall make the first payment on any Exchanged Note received by a Holder in an exchange transaction on the Payment Date related to the next Record Date following the effective date of such exchange. If the Exchanged Notes are Global Notes, such exchange shall be subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, and the Note Administrator shall have no responsibility with respect to the CUSIP eligibility of such Exchanged Notes. Any Holder requesting an exchange shall deliver any documents or information requested by the Issuer or Note Administrator in connection with such exchange. Upon compliance by the Holder with the foregoing requirements, the Note Administrator shall approve the instructions at DTC to effect any such exchange.

Section 2.17 Effect of Benchmark Replacement and the Benchmark Replacement Date.

(a) After the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and the related Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to the then-current Benchmark, such Benchmark and the related Benchmark Determination Date for such Benchmark shall be replaced with the applicable Benchmark Replacement on the Benchmark Determination Date for such Benchmark Replacement as determined by the Designated Transaction Representative. The Designated Transaction Representative shall provide written notice of such determination of the Benchmark Replacement to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator (who will post such notice to the Note Administrator’s Website), the Servicer, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Note Administrator), the Collateral Manager and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Website) no later than the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after such determination of the Benchmark Replacement and (ii) five (5) Business Days before the related Benchmark Replacement Date. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, amounts payable on the Notes shall be determined with respect to the then-current Benchmark (which may be Term SOFR as determined in accordance with methods specified in this Indenture) until the occurrence of the related Benchmark Replacement Date.

(b) [Reserved].

- 87 -

(c) In connection with the selection of a Benchmark Replacement, the Designated Transaction Representative shall have the right to direct the parties hereto to enter into a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 8.1(b)(iv) to make any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes that the Designated Transaction Representative determines may be necessary or desirable to administer, implement or adopt the applicable Benchmark or the Benchmark Replacement and the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. Any failure to supplement this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv) on or prior to the Benchmark Replacement Date shall not affect the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement on such Benchmark Replacement Date, it being understood such matters shall be binding upon the parties as described in clause (e) below pending the execution and delivery of any such amendment.

(d) Any determination, implementation, adoption, decision, proposal or election that may be made by the Designated Transaction Representative pursuant to this Section 2.17, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes including any determination with respect to a tenor, observation period, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and the Noteholders absent manifest error, may be made in the sole discretion of the Designated Transaction Representative and may be relied upon by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer and the Special Servicer without investigation. If the Calculation Agent is not able to calculate the Benchmark Replacement designated by the Designated Transaction Representative, then the Designated Transaction Representative shall provide, on a monthly basis, to the Calculation Agent, the rate determined using such Benchmark Replacement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Designated Transaction Representative may send any notices with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other determination or selection made under this Section 2.17, by email (or other electronic communication).

(f) Each holder of an interest in any Note or Preferred Share, by the acceptance of its interest, shall be deemed to have irrevocably (i) agreed to the provisions of this Section 2.17, (ii) agreed that the Designated Transaction Representative shall have no liability for any action taken or omitted by it or its agents in the performance of its role as Designated Transaction Representative and (iii) released the Designated Transaction Representative from any claim or action whatsoever relating to its performance as Designated Transaction Representative.

Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (other than the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g)), the Trustee may (and shall at the direction of a Majority, by outstanding principal amount, of each Class of Offered Notes voting as a separate Class (excluding any Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates), or if no Class of Offered Notes is outstanding, a majority, by outstanding principal amount, of the Class F Notes and the Class F-E Notes or, if no Class of Offered Notes, Class F Notes or Class F-E Notes are outstanding, a majority by outstanding principal amount, of the Class G Notes and the Class G-E Notes), declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable (and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period). Upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable thereunder in accordance with the Priority of Payments will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g) occurs, such an acceleration shall occur automatically and without any further action, and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period. If the Notes are accelerated, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a).

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Notes has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each Class of Offered Notes (voting as a separate Class) or, if no Class of Offered Notes is outstanding, a Majority of the Class F Notes, the Class F-E Notes, the Class G Notes and the Class G-E Notes, other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d), 5.1(f), 5.1(g) or 5.1(i), by written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Issuer or the Co-Issuer has paid or deposited with the Note Administrator a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all unpaid installments of interest on and principal on the Notes that would be due and payable hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

(B) all unpaid taxes of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, Company Administrative Expenses and other sums paid or advanced by or otherwise due and payable to the Note Administrator or to the Trustee hereunder;

- 108 -

(C) with respect to the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent, and the Trustee, any amount due and payable for unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest; and

(D) with respect to the Collateral Management Agreement, any Collateral Manager Fee then due and any Company Administrative Expense due and payable to the Collateral Manager thereunder; and

(ii) the Trustee has received notice that all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the interest and principal on the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Trustee, has agreed with such notice (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or waived as provided in Section 5.14.

At any such time that the Trustee, subject to Section 5.2(b), shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences as permitted hereinabove, the Collateral shall be preserved in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the Event of Default that gave rise to such declaration; provided, however, that if such preservation of the Collateral is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.5, the Notes may be accelerated pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.2, notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this paragraph.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) Subject to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the Trustee in the conduct of any Proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or in the sale of any or all of the Collateral; provided that (i) such direction will not conflict with any rule of law or this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee may take any other action not inconsistent with such direction; (iii) the Trustee has received security or indemnity satisfactory to it; and (iv) any direction to undertake a sale of the Collateral may be made only as described in Section 5.17. The Trustee shall be entitled to refuse to take any action absent such direction.

(d) As security for the payment by the Issuer of the compensation and expenses of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, and any sums the Trustee or Note Administrator shall be entitled to receive as indemnification by the Issuer, the Issuer hereby grants the Trustee a lien on the Collateral, which lien is senior to the lien of the Noteholders. The Trustee’s lien shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and exercisable by the Trustee only if the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled.

(e) A Majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes may, prior to the time a judgment or decree for the payment of amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, waive any past Default on behalf of the holders of all the Notes and its consequences in accordance with Section 5.14.

The Issuer shall, at the Issuer’s expense, upon request of the Trustee or the Special Servicer, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts expected to be received with respect to the Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Notes and other amounts payable hereunder, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the request of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Note Administrator or of the Officer making a sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their purchase money and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

Any such Sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall (x) bind the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Noteholders and the Preferred Shareholders, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold and (y) be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

Section 5.5 Preservation of Collateral.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required under this Indenture) retain the Collateral securing the Offered Notes, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Collateral and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Articles 10, 12 and 13 and shall not sell or liquidate the Collateral, unless either:

(i) the Note Administrator, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines (based upon information delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture) that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Collateral (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes, Company Administrative Expenses due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments, the Collateral Manager Fees due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments and amounts due and payable to the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee, in respect of unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest, for principal and interest, and, upon receipt of information from Persons to whom fees and expenses are payable, all other amounts payable prior to payment of principal on the Notes due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) and the holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination; or

(ii) a Supermajority of each Class of Notes (each voting as a separate Class) directs the sale and liquidation of all or a portion of the Collateral.

In the event of a sale of all or a portion of the Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be required to sell that portion of the Collateral identified by the requisite Noteholders and all proceeds of such sale shall be remitted to the Note Administrator for distribution in the order set forth in Section 11.1(a). The Note Administrator

- 115 -

shall give written notice of the retention of the Collateral by the Custodian to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above exist.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require a sale of the Collateral securing the Offered Notes if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee to preserve the Collateral securing the Offered Notes if prohibited by applicable law.

(c) In determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Manager shall obtain bid prices with respect to each Collateral Interest from two dealers (Independent of the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates) at the time making a market in such Collateral Interests that, at that time, engage in the trading, origination or securitization of whole loans or participations similar to the Collateral Interests (or, if only one such dealer can be engaged, then the Collateral Manager shall obtain a bid price from such dealer or, if no such dealer can be engaged, from a pricing service). The Collateral Manager shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lowest of such bid prices for each such Collateral Interest and provide the Trustee and the Note Administrator with the results thereof. For the purposes of determining issues relating to the market value of any Collateral Interest and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof, the Special Servicer may, but need not, retain at the expense of the Issuer and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation or other appropriate advisors (the cost of which shall be payable as a Company Administrative Expense) in connection with a determination as to whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists.

The Note Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Noteholders and the Servicer, and the Note Administrator shall post to the Note Administrator’s Website, a report stating the results of any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) based solely on the Collateral Manager’s determination made pursuant to this Section 5.5(c).

Section 5.6 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust. Any recovery of judgment in respect of the Notes shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

In any Proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) in respect of the Notes, the Trustee shall be deemed to represent all the Holders of the Notes.

Section 5.7 Application of Amounts Collected. Any amounts collected by the Note Administrator with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article 5 and any amounts that may then be held or thereafter received by the Note Administrator with respect to the Notes hereunder

- 116 -

shall be applied subject to Section 13.1 and in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a)(iii), at the date or dates fixed by the Note Administrator.

Section 5.8 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any Proceedings (the right of a Noteholder to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes is subject to any non-petition covenants set forth in this Indenture or the Notes), judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default;

(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9, the Holders of at least 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(c) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 30-day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Notes, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 and the Priority of Payments.

In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall not be required to take any action until it shall have received the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.9 Unconditional Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (except for Section 2.7(e) and 2.7(n)), the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Note as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 5.8 to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided, however, that the right of such Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of

- 117 -

any such payment shall not be subject to the 25% threshold requirement set forth in Section 5.8(b).

Section 5.10 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Noteholder, then (and in every such case) the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Noteholder shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Note Administrator or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee, or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

Section 5.13 Control by the Controlling Class. Subject to Sections 5.2(a) and (b), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to cause the institution of, and direct the time, method and place of conducting, any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee and for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of the Notes; provided that:

(a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability (unless the Trustee has received indemnity satisfactory to it against such liability as set forth below);

- 118 -

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Collateral shall be performed by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, and must satisfy the requirements of Section 5.5.

Section 5.14 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, as provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each and every Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any past Default in respect of the Notes and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of principal of any Note;

(b) in the payment of interest in respect of the Controlling Class;

(c) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that, under Section 8.2, cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note adversely affected thereby; or

(d) in respect of any right, covenant or provision hereof for the individual protection or benefit of the Trustee or the Note Administrator, without the Trustee’s or the Note Administrator’s express written consent thereto, as applicable.

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Any such waiver shall be effectuated upon receipt by the Trustee and the Note Administrator of a written waiver by such Majority of each Class of Notes.

Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by (a) the Trustee, (b) any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class or (c) any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable hereunder on or after the Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

- 119 -

Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including but not limited to filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture; and each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.17 Sale of Collateral.

(a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all amounts secured by the Collateral shall have been paid or if there are insufficient proceeds to pay such amount until the entire Collateral shall have been sold. The Special Servicer may, upon notice to the Securityholders, and shall, upon direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale; provided, however, that if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than three (3) Business Days after the date of the determination by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i), such Sale shall not occur unless and until the Special Servicer has again made the determination required by Section 5.5(a)(i). The Trustee hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Special Servicer shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it, or by the Trustee or the Note Administrator in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7.

(b) The Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Notes.

(c) The Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, which, in the case of any Collateral Interests, shall be upon request and delivery of any such instruments by the Special Servicer. In addition, the Special Servicer, with respect to Collateral Interests, and the Trustee, with respect to any other Collateral, is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee’s or Special Servicer’s authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or to see to the application of any amounts.

- 120 -

(d) In the event of any Sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.5, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) in the same manner as if the Notes had been accelerated.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any sale by the Trustee of any portion of the Collateral shall be executed by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability therefor.

Section 5.18 Action on the Notes. The Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the application for or obtaining of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the Collateral of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer.

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) each of the Trustee and the Note Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee or the Note Administrator; and any permissive right of the Trustee or the Note Administrator contained herein shall not be construed as a duty; and

(ii) in the absence of manifest error, or bad faith on its part, each of the Note Administrator and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as the case may be, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee or the Note Administrator within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof.

- 121 -

(b) In case an Event of Default actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class (or other Noteholders to the extent provided in Article 5), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(c) If, in performing its duties under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Note Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may request written instructions from the Collateral Manager as to courses of action desired by it. If the Trustee and the Note Administrator does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to request and rely on the advice of legal counsel and Independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder and be deemed to have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to any liability if it acts in accordance with such advice.

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Note Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable:

(i) for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that it was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; or

(ii) with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager, and/or a Majority of the Controlling Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Note Administrator in respect of any Note or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Note Administrator under this Indenture.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or the Note Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture, except where this Indenture provides otherwise.

(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable to the Noteholders for any action taken or omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class, the Trustee (in the case of the

- 122 -

Note Administrator), the Note Administrator (in the case of the Trustee) and/or a Noteholder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture.

(g) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall have any liability or responsibility for the determination or selection of an alternative or successor base rate to the Benchmark (including, without limitation, whether the conditions for designation of such rate have been satisfied).

(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator (in their respective capacities as such) shall have (x) any liability or responsibility for the determination or selection of any successor benchmark (including, without limitation, whether the conditions for the designation of such rate have been satisfied) and shall be entitled to rely upon any designation of such a rate by the Collateral Manager and (y) liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties under this Indenture as a result of the unavailability of a “SOFR” rate. The Note Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the notices provided by the Collateral Manager facilitating or specifying the Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and such other administrative procedures with respect to the calculation of any Benchmark Replacement.

(k) For all purposes under this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of either the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default is received by the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s and the Note Administrator’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Trustee or Note Administrator, as applicable, is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1.

(l) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall have any obligation to monitor or verify AML Compliance.

(m) The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, permit the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and their designees, during its normal business hours, to review all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating to the Notes and to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses

- 123 -

incurred in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, by such Person).

At any time or times, including for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, for enforcement actions, or where a conflict of interest exists, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, one or more Persons to act as co-trustee jointly with the Trustee of all or any part of the Collateral, with the power to file such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 and to make such claims and enforce such rights of action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.12.

Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Issuer and the Co-Issuer do not both join in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have power to make such appointment on its own.

Should any written instrument from the Issuer or the Co-Issuer be required by any co-trustee, so appointed, more fully confirming to such co-trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be.

(c) the Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer evidenced by an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of, or remove, any co-trustee appointed under this Section 6.12, and in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.12;

(d) no co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee hereunder, and any co-trustee hereunder shall be entitled to all the privileges, rights and immunities under Article 6, as if it were named the Trustee hereunder; and

(e) any Act of Securityholders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each co-trustee.

- 134 -

The Note Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold or deduct from amounts otherwise distributable to any Noteholder or payee sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally required to be withheld or deducted (but such authorization shall not prevent the Note Administrator from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and legally withholding payment of such tax, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Noteholder or payee shall be treated as Cash distributed to such Noteholder or payee at the time it is deducted or withheld by the Issuer or the Note Administrator, as applicable, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Note Administrator may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.17. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer agree to timely provide to the Trustee accurate and complete copies of all documentation received from Noteholders or payee pursuant to Sections 2.7(c) and 2.11(c).

The Note Administrator shall, unless prevented from doing so for reasons beyond its reasonable control, give notice to each Securityholder of any such withholding requirement no later than ten days prior to the related Payment Date from which amounts are required (as directed by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf)) to be withheld; provided that, despite the failure of the Note Administrator to give such notice, amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as provided above.

Section 7.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer hereby appoint the Note Administrator as a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and the Issuer hereby appoints Corporation Service Company in New York, New York, as its agent where notices and demands to or upon the Co-Issuer in respect of the Offered Notes or this Indenture, or the Issuer in respect of the Notes or this Indenture, may be served.

The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, however, that the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served, and, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency outside of the United States where Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, further, that no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and the Note Administrator with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may be served on the Issuer and Co-Issuer and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main office and the Issuer and the

(a) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer by the Note Administrator or a Paying Agent (in each case, from and to the extent of available funds in the Payment Account and subject to the Priority of Payments) with respect to payments on the Notes.

When the Paying Agent is not also the Notes Registrar, the Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Notes Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder together with wiring instructions, contact information, and such other information reasonably required by the paying agent.

Whenever the Paying Agent is not also the Note Administrator, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, and such Paying Agent shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Note Administrator to deposit on such Payment Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account, and subject to the Priority of Payments), such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Note Administrator) the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly notify the Note Administrator of its action or failure so to act. Any amounts deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Note Administrator) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Note Administrator for application in accordance with Article 11. Any such Paying Agent shall be deemed to agree by assuming such role not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary for the non-payment to the Paying Agent of any amounts payable thereto until at least one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order of the Issuer and Issuer Order of the Co-Issuer and at the sole cost and expense (including such Paying Agent’s fee) of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with written notice thereof to the Note Administrator; provided, however, that so long as any Class of the Notes are rated by a Rating Agency and with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent for the Notes, either (i) such Paying Agent has (1) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A2” or higher by Moody’s and a short-term debt rating of “P-2” by Moody’s and (2) a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A-” by KBRA and a short-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “K1” by KBRA or (ii) each of the Rating Agencies confirms that

- 138 -

employing such Paying Agent shall not adversely affect the then-current ratings of the Notes. In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of “Baa1” or higher by Moody’s and a short-term debt rating of at least “P-2” by Moody’s, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall cause the Paying Agent other than the Note Administrator to execute and deliver to the Note Administrator an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Note Administrator (and if the Note Administrator acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:

(i) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(ii) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(iii) if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Note Administrator all sums held by it for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to satisfy the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;

(iv) if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator, immediately give the Note Administrator notice of any Default by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made; and

(v) if such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Note Administrator, forthwith pay to the Note Administrator all sums so held by such Paying Agent.

The Issuer or the Co-Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to the Note Administrator all sums held by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or held by the Paying Agent for payment of the Notes, such sums to be held by the Note Administrator in trust for the same Noteholders as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Note Administrator, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such amounts.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any amounts deposited with the Note Administrator in trust or deposited with the Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on request; and the Holder of such Note shall

- 139 -

thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent with respect to such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable) shall thereupon cease. The Note Administrator or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

In the event of any such consolidation, merger, transfer or conveyance, the Person named as the “Issuer” or the “Co-Issuer” in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any successor which shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 7 may be dissolved, wound-up and liquidated at any time thereafter, and such Person thereafter shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker on all the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture.

Section 7.13 Reporting. At any time when the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note, the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished “Rule 144A Information” (as defined below) to such Holder or beneficial owner, to a prospective purchaser of such Note designated by such Holder or beneficial owner or to the Note Administrator for delivery to such Holder or beneficial owner or a prospective purchaser designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such

Section 7.14 Calculation Agent.

(a) The Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby agree that for so long as any Notes remain Outstanding there shall at all times be an agent appointed to calculate the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of Schedule B (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer and the Co-Issuer initially have appointed the Note Administrator as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Benchmark for each Interest Accrual Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time upon thirty (30) days’ written notice delivered to the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer, or if the Calculation Agent fails to determine the rate using the Benchmark or the Interest Distribution Amount for any Class of Notes for any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer shall promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its affiliates. To the extent the Calculation Agent is removed without cause, the expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Calculation Agent’s responsibilities under this Indenture shall be reimbursed by the Issuer. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. If no successor Calculation Agent shall have been appointed within 30 days after giving of a notice of resignation, the resigning Calculation Agent or a Majority of the Preferred Shareholders with regard to the determination that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent, and if such petition is commenced by the Calculation Agent, then such petition will be at the expense of the Issuer.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as practicable after the Reference Time, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day (or the next succeeding SOFR Business Day if the Benchmark is Term SOFR) immediately following each Benchmark Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Benchmark for the related Interest Accrual Period and will communicate such information to the Note Administrator, who shall include such calculation on the next Monthly Report following such Benchmark Determination Date. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Collateral Manager before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on each

- 152 -

Benchmark Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Benchmark and the Interest Distribution Amounts for each Class of Notes, together with the reasons therefor. The determination of the Note Interest Rates and the related Interest Distribution Amounts, respectively, by the Calculation Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.

Section 7.15 REIT Status.

(a) BRSP Sub-REIT shall not take any action that results in the Issuer failing to qualify as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary of BRSP Sub-REIT for federal income tax purposes, unless (A) based on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary of a REIT other than BRSP Sub-REIT, or (B) based on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) Without limiting the generality of this Section 7.15, if the Issuer is no longer a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, prior to the time that:

(i) any Collateral Interest would cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or to become subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis;

(ii) the Issuer would acquire or receive any asset in connection with a workout or restructuring of a Collateral Interest that could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or to become subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis;

(iii) the Issuer would acquire the real property underlying any Collateral Interest pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; or

(iv) any Collateral Interest is modified in such a manner that could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or to become subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis,

the Issuer will either (x) organize one or more Permitted Subsidiaries and contribute the subject property to such Permitted Subsidiary, (y) contribute such Collateral Interest to an existing Permitted Subsidiary, or (z) sell such Collateral Interest in accordance with Section 12.1.

(c) At the direction of 100% of the Preferred Shareholders (including any party that will become the beneficial owner of 100% of the Preferred Shares because of a default under any financing arrangement for which the Preferred Shares are security), the Issuer may operate as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that (i) the Issuer receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion or a No Trade or Business Opinion; (ii) this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, are amended or supplemented (A) to adopt written tax guidelines governing the Issuer’s origination, acquisition, disposition and modification of Collateral Interests designed to prevent

- 153 -

the Issuer from being treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (B) to form one or more “grantor trusts” to the hold Collateral Interests and (C) to implement any other provisions deemed necessary (as determined by the tax counsel providing the opinion) to prevent the Issuer from being treated as a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise becoming subject to U.S. federal withholding tax or U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis; (iii) the Preferred Shareholder shall pay the administrative and other costs related to the Issuer converting from a Qualified REIT Subsidiary to operating as a foreign corporation, including the costs of any opinions and amendments; and (iv) the Preferred Shareholder agrees to pay any ongoing expenses related to the Issuer’s status as a foreign corporation not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including but not limited to U.S. federal income tax filings required by the Issuer, the “grantor trusts” or any taxable subsidiaries or required under FATCA.

Section 7.16 Permitted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall, following delivery of an Issuer Order to the parties hereto, be permitted to sell or transfer to a Permitted Subsidiary at any time any Sensitive Asset for consideration consisting entirely of the equity interests of such Permitted Subsidiary (or for an increase in the value of equity interests already owned). Such Issuer Order shall certify that the sale of a Sensitive Asset is being made in accordance with satisfaction of all requirements of this Indenture. The Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release with respect to a Sensitive Asset, release such Sensitive Asset and shall deliver such Sensitive Asset as specified in such Request for Release. The following provisions shall apply to all Sensitive Asset and Permitted Subsidiaries:

(a) For all purposes under this Indenture, any Sensitive Asset transferred to a Permitted Subsidiary shall be treated as if it were an asset owned directly by the Issuer.

(b) Any distribution of Cash by a Permitted Subsidiary to the Issuer shall be characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds to the same extent that such Cash would have been characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds if received directly by the Issuer and each Permitted Subsidiary shall cause all proceeds of and collections on each Sensitive Asset owned by such Permitted Subsidiary to be deposited into the Payment Account.

(c) To the extent applicable, the Issuer shall form one or more Securities Accounts with the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of each Permitted Subsidiary and shall, to the extent applicable, cause Sensitive Asset to be credited to such Securities Accounts.

(d) Notwithstanding the complete and absolute transfer of a Sensitive Asset to a Permitted Subsidiary, the ownership interests of the Issuer in a Permitted Subsidiary or any property distributed to the Issuer by a Permitted Subsidiary shall be treated as a continuation of its ownership of the Sensitive Asset that was transferred to such Permitted Subsidiary (and shall be treated as having the same characteristics as such Sensitive Asset).

(e) If the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, or any other authorized party takes any action under this Indenture to sell, liquidate or dispose of all or substantially all of the

- 154 -

Collateral, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall cause each Permitted Subsidiary to sell each Sensitive Asset and all other Collateral held by such Permitted Subsidiary and distribute the proceeds of such sale, net of any amounts necessary to satisfy any related expenses and tax liabilities, to the Issuer in exchange for the equity interest in such Permitted Subsidiary held by the Issuer.

Section 7.17 Repurchase Requests. If the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer receives any request or demand that a Collateral Interest be repurchased or replaced arising from any Material Breach of a representation or warranty made with respect to such Collateral Interest, any Material Document Defect or any Combined Loan Repurchase Event (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”) or a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request from any Person other than the Servicer or Special Servicer, then the Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly forward such notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, to the Servicer (if related to a Collateral Interest that is, or is related to, a Performing Mortgage Loan as defined in the Servicing Agreement) or Special Servicer, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “[Repurchase Request]/[withdrawal of a Repurchase Request]” under Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement relating to BRSP 2026-FL3, Ltd. and BRSP 2026-FL3, LLC, requiring action from you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” thereunder.” Any Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request to the Note Administrator shall be submitted in writing or by email to #NACCTMMGRepurchases@computershare.com (or such other email address as the Note Administrator shall designate from time to time) with a subject line of ““[Repurchase Request]/[withdrawal of a Repurchase Request] – BRSP 2026-FL3”. Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to the prior sentence, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, and shall be responsible for complying with the procedures set forth in Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Repurchase Request.

Section 7.18 Purchase of Ramp-Up Collateral Interests. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to apply amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account to purchase Ramp-Up Collateral Interests in accordance with Section 10.4(d) (which shall be, and hereby are, Granted to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this Indenture) for inclusion in the Collateral upon (i) receipt by the Trustee of an Issuer Order or trade confirmation executed by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) with respect thereto directing the Trustee to pay out the amount specified therein against delivery of the Ramp-Up Collateral Interests specified therein, (ii) receipt by the Trustee and the Custodian of the subsequent transfer instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit S hereto or a Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement with respect to the applicable Ramp-Up Collateral Interests, and (iii) a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager) (which certification shall be deemed to be made upon delivery of a trade confirmation or Issuer Order), dated as of the trade date, and delivered to the Trustee on or prior to the date of such purchase

Section 8.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Securityholders. Except as set forth below, the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Co-Issuers may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, this Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of any Class of Notes or the Preferred Shares under this Indenture only (x) with the written consent of the Holders of at least Majority in Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of each Class materially and adversely affected thereby (excluding any Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates) and the Preferred Shareholder if materially and adversely affected thereby, by Act of said Securityholders delivered to the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the Co-Issuers, and (y) subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, notice of which may be in electronic form. The Note Administrator shall provide ten (10) Business Days’ notice of such change to the Holders of each Class of Notes and the Preferred Shareholders, requesting notification by such Noteholders and Holders of the Preferred Shares if any such Noteholders or Preferred Shareholder would be materially and adversely affected by the proposed supplemental indenture. The Note Administrator shall include notice of such consent request in the next Monthly Report and a copy of the proposed supplemental

- 161 -

indenture shall be posted on the Note Administrator’s Website. Following such initial ten (10) Business Day period, the Note Administrator shall provide three successive additional ten (10) Business Days’ notices to any holder of Notes or Preferred Shares that did not respond to the initial notice. Unless the Note Administrator is notified (after giving such initial ten (10) Business Days’ notice and the three additional ten (10) Business Days’ notices, as applicable) by Holders of at least 33 1/3 in Aggregate Outstanding Amount (excluding any Notes held by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates or by any accounts managed by them) of the Notes of any Class that such Class of Notes or a Majority of Preferred Shareholders will be materially and adversely affected by the proposed supplemental indenture (and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Collateral Manager), the interests of such Class and the interests of the Preferred Shares will be deemed not to be materially and adversely affected by such proposed supplemental indenture and the Trustee will be permitted to enter into such supplemental indenture; provided that a Class of Notes may only be deemed to not be materially and adversely affected without the written consent by at least a majority of the Notes of any Class by up to five (5) proposed supplemental indentures in the aggregate; provided further that repeated requests for a supplemental indenture on separate occasions relating to the same subject matter will count as a separate proposal; provided further that the required multiple notices provided by the Note Administrator as described above for the same proposed supplemental indenture will constitute a single proposal (as determined by an Issuer Order delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator in connection with such supplemental indenture). Such determinations shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Noteholders. The consent of the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be binding on all present and future Holders of the Preferred Shares.

(a) Without the consent of (x) all of the Holders of each Outstanding Class of Notes materially adversely affected and (y) all of the Holders of the Preferred Shares materially adversely affected thereby, no supplemental indenture may:

(i) change the Stated Maturity Date of the principal of or the due date of any installment of interest on any Note, reduce the principal amount thereof or the Note Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect to any Note, change the date of any scheduled distribution on the Preferred Shares, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the earliest date on which any Note may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, change the provisions of this Indenture that apply proceeds of any Collateral to the payment of principal of or interest on Notes or of distributions to the Preferred Share Paying Agent for the payment of distributions in respect of the Preferred Shares or change any place where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the principal thereof or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity Date thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date);

(ii) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class or the Notional Amount of Preferred Shares of the Holders thereof whose consent is required for the authorization of any such supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults hereunder or their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

- 162 -

(iii) impair or adversely affect the Collateral except as otherwise permitted in this Indenture;

(iv) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of the Collateral or terminate such lien on any property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security afforded by the lien of this Indenture;

(v) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class whose consent is required to request the Trustee to preserve the Collateral or rescind any election to preserve the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5 or to sell or liquidate the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or 5.5;

(vi) [Reserved];

(vii) modify the definition of the term “Outstanding” or the provisions of Section 11.1(a) or Section 13.1;

(viii) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such a manner as to affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest on or principal of any Note on any Payment Date or of distributions to the Preferred Share Paying Agent for the payment of distributions in respect of the Preferred Shares on any Payment Date (or any other date) or to affect the rights of the Holders of Securities to the benefit of any provisions for the redemption of such Securities contained herein;

(ix) reduce the permitted minimum denominations of the Notes below the minimum denomination necessary to maintain an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or the 1940 Act; or

(x) modify any provisions regarding non- recourse or non-petition covenants with respect to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent of (x) a Majority of the Holders of each Outstanding Class of Notes and (y) a Majority of the Holders of the Preferred Shares, a supplemental indenture may:

(i) modify any of the provisions of this Article 8, except to increase any percentage of Outstanding Notes whose holders’ consent is required for any such action or to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby;

(ii) modify the definitions of the terms “Acquisition Criteria,” “Controlling Class,” “Majority,” “Reinvestment Period” and “Supermajority” set forth in this Indenture; and

(iii) modify the Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria or the Note Protection Tests, other than with respect to a Rating Agency Test Modification.

- 163 -

The Trustee and Note Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) in determining whether or not the Holders of Securities would be materially or adversely affected by such change (after giving notice of such change to the Holders of Securities). Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders of Securities. Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

Section 8.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 8 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Note Administrator and Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. The Note Administrator and Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

The Servicer and Special Servicer will be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture of which it has received written notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplement; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which may, in the judgment of the Servicer or Special Servicer adversely affect the Servicer or Special Servicer, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be bound (and the Issuer agrees that it will not permit any such amendment to become effective) unless the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, gives written consent to the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Issuer to such amendment. The Issuer, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall give written notice to the Servicer and Special Servicer of any amendment made to this Indenture pursuant to its terms. In addition, the Servicer or Special Servicer’s written consent shall be required prior to any amendment to this Indenture by which it is adversely affected.

The Collateral Manager will be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture of which it has received written notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplement; provided, however, that with respect to any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which may, in the judgment of the Collateral Manager adversely affect the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall not be bound (and the Issuer agrees that it will not permit any such amendment to become effective) unless the Collateral Manager, as applicable, gives written consent to the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Issuer to such amendment. The Issuer and the Note Administrator shall give written notice to the Collateral Manager of any amendment made to this Indenture pursuant to its terms. In addition, the Collateral Manager’s written consent shall be required prior to any amendment to this Indenture by which it is adversely affected.

In connection with any supplemental indenture that affects a Class of MASCOT Notes in a manner that is materially different from the effect of such supplemental indenture on the Class F Notes or the Class G Notes, as applicable, the Holders of the applicable MASCOT Notes will vote as a separate class.

- 164 -

At the cost of the Issuer, the Note Administrator, (i) except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, shall provide to each Noteholder, each Preferred Shareholder and, for so long as any Class of Notes shall remain Outstanding and is rated, the Note Administrator shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Rating Agencies a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the execution thereof by the Note Administrator, and (ii) following execution shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Rating Agencies a copy of the executed supplemental indenture.

Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall enter into any such supplemental indenture unless the Trustee and the Note Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel from Dechert LLP or other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel experienced in such matters that the proposed supplemental indenture will not (i) cause the Issuer to fail to be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT or (ii) otherwise cause the Issuer to be treated as a foreign corporation that is engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the receipt of notice from the Rating Agencies or the Requesting Party, which may be in electronic form, that the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied and (ii) receipt of an Opinion of Counsel forwarded to the Trustee and Note Administrator certifying that, following provision of notice of such supplemental indenture to the Noteholders and holders of the Preferred Shares, that the Holders of Securities would not be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental indenture. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders of Securities. Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Securityholders under this Section 8.3 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Note Administrator, at the expense of the Issuer, shall post an executed version of such supplemental indenture on the Note Administrator’s Website and shall provide such executed version to, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and, so long as the Notes are Outstanding and so rated, the Rating Agencies, a copy thereof based on an outstanding rating. Any failure of the Trustee and the Note Administrator to publish or mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 8.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 8, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes and every Holder of Notes theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder, and every Preferred Shareholder, shall be bound thereby.

Section 8.5 Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 8 may,

- 165 -

and if required by the Note Administrator shall, bear a notice in form approved by the Note Administrator as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer and, with respect to the Offered Notes, the Co-Issuer shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform in the opinion of the Note Administrator and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Note Administrator in exchange for Outstanding Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Note authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be subject to the terms and provisions of this Indenture, and any supplemental indenture.

(a) The Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer and, as applicable, the Co-Issuer, and the Preferred Shares may be redeemed by the Issuer, at the option of and at the direction of the Collateral Manager (such redemption, a “Clean-up Call”), in whole but not in part, at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Prices on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Offered Notes has been reduced to 10% or less of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Offered Notes on the Closing Date; provided that the funds available to be used for such Clean-up Call will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price.

(b) The Notes and the Preferred Shares shall be redeemable by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, as applicable, in whole but not in part, at the written direction of a Majority of Preferred Shareholders delivered to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Preferred Share Paying Agent, on the Payment Date following the occurrence of a Tax Event if the Tax Materiality Condition is satisfied at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Prices (such redemption, a “Tax Redemption”); provided that the funds available to be used for such Tax Redemption will be sufficient to pay the Total Redemption Price. Upon the receipt of such written direction of a Tax Redemption, the Note Administrator shall provide written notice thereof to the Securityholders and the Rating Agencies.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Indenture, in the case of an Optional Redemption, after providing for the payment of the Redemption Prices of all Classes of Offered Notes and all accrued and unpaid Company Administrative Expenses (and any other amounts owed to the Servicer or Special Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) if the

In connection with a Tax Redemption, the occurrence of a Tax Event and satisfaction of the Tax Materiality Condition and the election by a Majority of Preferred Shareholders to redeem the Notes pursuant to a Tax Redemption shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate from the Collateral Manager certifying that such conditions for a Tax Redemption have occurred. The election by a Majority of Preferred Shareholders to redeem the Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate from the Collateral Manager certifying that the conditions for an Optional Redemption have occurred.

(f) A redemption pursuant to Section 9.1(a), 9.1(b) or 9.1(c) shall not occur unless (i) (A) at least three (3) Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date, the Collateral Manager shall have furnished to the Trustee and the Note Administrator evidence (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Note Administrator) that the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, has entered into a binding agreement or agreements with one or more financial institutions whose long-term unsecured debt obligations (other than such obligations whose rating is based on the credit of a Person other than such institution) have a credit rating from Moody’s and at least equal to the highest rating of any Notes then Outstanding or whose (1) short-term unsecured debt obligations have a credit rating of “P-1” or higher by Moody’s and (2) a long-term unsecured rating of at least “K1” by KBRA (as long as the term of such agreement is ninety (90) days or less), to sell (directly or by participation or other arrangement) all or part of the Collateral not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Redemption Date, (B) at least three (3) Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date, the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to the applicable method of redemption, (C) at least three (3) Business Days before the scheduled Redemption Date, the Collateral Manager shall have furnished to the Trustee and the Note Administrator evidence (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Note Administrator) that the Collateral Manager, on behalf of

The Note Administrator shall deliver to the Rating Agencies any notice received by it from the Issuer or the Special Servicer of such proposed Redemption Date, the applicable Record Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date and the Redemption Price of such Notes in accordance with Section 9.1. The Redemption Price shall be determined no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the proposed Redemption Date.

(b) Any such notice of an Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call or Tax Redemption may be withdrawn by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer at the direction of the Collateral Manager up to the second Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date by written notice to the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, each Holder of Notes to be redeemed and the Collateral Manager (only if the Collateral Manager is unable to deliver the sale agreement or agreements or certifications referred to in Section 9.1(e) using commercially reasonable efforts, as the case may be). The failure of any Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call or Tax Redemption that is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default.

Section 9.3 Notice of Redemption or Maturity. Notice of redemption (or a withdrawal thereof) or Clean-up Call pursuant to Section 9.1 or the Maturity of any Notes shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than ten (10) Business Days (or one (1) Business Day (or promptly thereafter upon receipt of written notice, if later) where the notice of an Optional Redemption, a Clean-up Call or a Tax Redemption is withdrawn pursuant to Section 9.2(b)) prior to the applicable Redemption Date or Maturity, to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Rating Agencies, and each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address in the Notes Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(a) the applicable Redemption Date;

- 168 -

(b) the applicable Redemption Price;

(c) that all the Notes are being paid in full and that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date specified in the notice; and

(d) the place or places where such Notes to be redeemed in whole are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price which shall be the office or agency of the Paying Agent as provided in Section 7.2.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuer and Co-Issuer, or at their request, by the Note Administrator in their names, and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Notes.

Section 9.4 Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall Default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon) the Notes shall cease to bear interest on the Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Note to be redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if there is delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on Notes of a Class to be so redeemed whose Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.7(g).

If any Note called for redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the applicable Note Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period the Note remains Outstanding. Subject to applicable law, any funds not distributed to any Noteholder and holder of the Preferred Shares on the Payment Date because of the failure of such Holder or holder of the Preferred Shares to tender their Notes or Preferred Shares, as applicable, shall, on such date, be set aside and held by the Note Administrator for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Noteholder or holder of the Preferred Shares, as applicable.

Section 9.5 Mandatory Redemption. On any Payment Date on which the Note Protection Tests are not satisfied as of any Determination Date, the Offered Notes shall be redeemed (a “Mandatory Redemption”), from Interest Proceeds as set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i)(14) and, to the extent necessary after application of Interest Proceeds, Principal Proceeds pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii)(1), in an amount necessary, and only to the extent necessary, for the Note Protection Tests to be satisfied. On or promptly after such

- 169 -

Mandatory Redemption, the Issuer shall certify or cause to be certified to the Rating Agencies and the Note Administrator whether the Note Protection Tests have been satisfied.

Section 10.7 Interest Advances.

(a) With respect to each Payment Date for which the sum of Interest Proceeds and, if applicable, Principal Proceeds, collected during the related Due Period and remitted to the Note Administrator that are available to pay interest on the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments, are insufficient to remit the interest due and payable with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes on such Payment Date as a result of interest shortfalls on the Collateral Interests (or the application of interest received on the Collateral Interests to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement) (the amount of such insufficiency, an “Interest Shortfall”), the Note Administrator shall provide the Advancing Agent with email notice of such Interest Shortfall no later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Payment Date, at the following addresses: legal@brightspire.com, or such other email address as provided by the Advancing Agent to the Note Administrator. The Note Administrator shall provide the Advancing Agent with additional email notice, prior to any funding of an Interest Advance by the Advancing Agent, of any additional interest remittances received by the Note Administrator after delivery of such initial notice that reduces such Interest Shortfall. No later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the related Payment Date, the Advancing Agent shall advance the difference between such amounts (each such advance, an “Interest Advance”) by deposit of an amount equal to such Interest Advance in the Payment Account, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b), and subject to a maximum limit in respect of any Payment Date equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of such Interest Shortfalls that would otherwise occur on the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the

- 173 -

Class B Notes on such Payment Date and (ii) the aggregate of the interest payments not received in respect of Collateral Interests with respect to such Payment Date (including, for such purpose, interest payments received on the Collateral Interests but applied to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no circumstance will the Advancing Agent be required to make an Interest Advance in respect of a Collateral Interest to the extent that the aggregate outstanding amount of all unreimbursed Interest Advances would exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes. In addition, in no event will the Advancing Agent, Backup Advancing Agent, or Trustee be required to advance any payments in respect of interest on any Class of Notes other than the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes or principal of any Note. Any Interest Advance made by the Advancing Agent with respect to a Payment Date that is in excess of the actual Interest Shortfall for such Payment Date shall be refunded to the Advancing Agent by the Note Administrator on the related Payment Date (or, if such Interest Advance is made prior to final determination by the Note Administrator of such Interest Shortfall, on the Business Day of such final determination).

The Advancing Agent shall provide the Note Administrator written notice of a determination by the Advancing Agent that a proposed Interest Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the related Payment Date. If the Advancing Agent shall fail to make any required Interest Advance no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Payment Date upon which distributions are to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the Note Administrator may, and at the direction of the majority of the Controlling Class shall, remove the Advancing Agent in its capacity as advancing agent hereunder as required under Section 17.5(d) and the Backup Advancing Agent shall be required to make such Interest Advance no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Payment Date, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Backup Advancing Agent as described in Section 10.7(b). If the Backup Advancing Agent fails to make any required Interest Advance by 11:00 a.m. on the Payment Date, then the Backup Advancing Agent shall notify the Trustee, via email at cmbstrustee@wilmingtontrust.com no later than 11:00 a.m. on the Payment Date and shall furnish to the Trustee any information requested by the Trustee to determine recoverability of such Interest Advance. The Trustee shall, based on its determination of recoverability, make such Interest Advance no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Payment Date. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Advancing Agent or Backup Advancing Agent with respect to a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance hereunder. Based upon available information at the time, the Trustee, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Advancing Agent or the Note Administrator, as applicable, will provide fifteen (15) days’ prior notice to the Rating Agencies if recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall on the next succeeding Payment Date. No later than the close of business on the Determination Date related to a Payment Date on which the recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall, the Note Administrator shall provide the Rating Agencies with notice of such recovery.

- 174 -

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent, nor the Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to make any Interest Advance unless such Person determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith that such Interest Advance, or such proposed Interest Advance, plus interest expected to accrue thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, will not be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. In determining whether any proposed Interest Advance will be, or whether any Interest Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, will take into account:

(i) amounts that may be realized on each Mortgaged Property in its “as is” or then-current condition and occupancy;

(ii) the potential length of time before such Interest Advance may be reimbursed and the resulting degree of uncertainty with respect to such reimbursement; and

(iii) the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and

(iv) the fact that Interest Advances are intended to provide liquidity only and not credit support to the Holders of the Notes.

For purposes of any such determination of whether an Interest Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, an Interest Advance will be deemed to be nonrecoverable if the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that future Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds may be ultimately insufficient to fully reimburse such Interest Advance, plus interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate within a reasonable period of time. The Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on any affirmative determination by the Advancing Agent that an Interest Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. Absent bad faith, the determination by the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, as to the nonrecoverability of any Interest Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes.

(c) Each of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee may recover any previously unreimbursed Interest Advance made by it (including any Nonrecoverable Interest Advance), together with interest thereon, first, from Interest Proceeds and second (to the extent that there are insufficient Interest Proceeds for such reimbursement), from Principal Proceeds to the extent that such reimbursement would not trigger an additional Interest Shortfall; provided that if at any time an Interest Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee shall be entitled to recover all outstanding Interest Advances together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual Period prior to the related Determination Date. The Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee shall be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise structure the timing of recoveries of

- 175 -

Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in such manner as the Advancing Agent, Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee determines is in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes, as a collective whole, which may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in installments.

(d) The Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee will each be entitled with respect to any Interest Advance made by it (including Nonrecoverable Interest Advances) to interest accrued on the amount of such Interest Advance for so long as it is outstanding at the Reimbursement Rate.

(e) The obligations of the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent and the Trustee to make Interest Advances in respect of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes will continue through the Stated Maturity Date, unless such Notes are previously redeemed or repaid in full.

(f) In no event will the Advancing Agent, in its capacity as such hereunder, or the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent hereunder, or the Trustee, be required to advance any amounts in respect of payments of principal of any Notes, nor payments in respect of interest, other than with respect to the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes and the Class B Notes. Additionally, in no event will the Advancing Agent, in its capacity as such hereunder, or the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Backup Advancing Agent hereunder or the Trustee, be required to advance any amounts in respect of payments of principal or interest, or any other amounts, of any Collateral Interest.

(g) In consideration of the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Advancing Agent shall be entitled to receive, at the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Advancing Agent Fee. For so long as (i) BRSP Advancing (or any of its Affiliates) is the Advancing Agent and (ii) any of its affiliates owns the Preferred Shares, BRSP Advancing hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, to waive its rights to receive the Advancing Agent Fee and any Reimbursement Interest. In the event that the Advancing Agent fails to make an Interest Advance required to be made by the Advancing Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, (x) the Advancing Agent shall be in default of its obligations under this Indenture, (y) the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee shall be required to make such Interest Advance and shall be entitled to receive, in consideration thereof, the Advancing Agent Fee in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (z) the Collateral Manager may, and at the direction of the majority of the Controlling Class shall, terminate the Advancing Agent and use commercially reasonable efforts for up to 90 days following such termination to replace the Advancing Agent with a successor advancing agent that satisfies the requirements set forth in this Indenture. If the Advancing Agent is terminated for failing to make an Interest Advance hereunder (as provided in Section 17.5(d)) (or for failing to make a Servicing Advance under the Servicing Agreement) that the Advancing Agent did not determine to be nonrecoverable, any applicable subsequent successor advancing agent (or the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, if it makes an Interest Advance) will be entitled to receive the Advancing Agent Fee (plus Reimbursement Interest on any Interest

- 176 -

Advance made by the Backup Advancing Agent, the Trustee or the applicable subsequent successor advancing agent).

(h) The determination by the Advancing Agent, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee (in its capacity as successor Advancing Agent), as applicable, (i) that it has made a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance (together with Reimbursement Interest thereon) or (ii) that any proposed Interest Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Issuer and the Rating Agencies, setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of, or the Advancing Agent or the Backup Advancing Agent or the Trustee, entitlement to reimbursement with respect to, any Interest Advance.

(i) With respect to any Interest Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Backup Advancing Agent’s rights, protections and immunities hereunder, including, without limitation, the Backup Advancing Agent’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Interest Advance at the reimbursement rate, the Advancing Agent Fee and the right to determine that a proposed Interest Advance is a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all references to “Backup Advancing Agent” in Section 11.1 relating to reimbursing the Backup Advancing Agent for any Interest Advance or interest thereon shall include the “Trustee,” so the Note Administrator shall be entitled to withdraw from the Payment Account any amounts available to pay the Trustee, reimburse the Trustee for such Interest Advances and other items and use such amounts instead to reimburse the Trustee for such Interest Advances; provided that the Trustee shall have priority over the Backup Advancing Agent for such reimbursements.

(j) The Trustee shall remain eligible to act as Backup Advancing Agent for so long as it maintains its eligibility requirements as Trustee under Section 6.8.

Section 10.8 Reports by Parties. The Note Administrator shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Note Administrator that the Issuer, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Servicer or the Collateral Manager may from time to time request in writing with respect to the Collateral or the Indenture Accounts and provide any other information reasonably available to the Note Administrator by reason of its acting as Note Administrator hereunder and required to be provided by Section 10.9 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement. The Servicer shall forward to the Collateral Manager copies of notices and other writings received by it from the borrower with respect to any Collateral Interest advising the holders of such Collateral Interest of any rights that the holders might have with respect thereto as well as all periodic financial reports received from such borrower with respect to such borrower. Each of the Issuer, the Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall promptly forward to the Collateral Manager, the Trustee and the Note Administrator any information in their possession or reasonably available to them concerning any of the Collateral that the Trustee or the Note Administrator reasonably may request or that reasonably may be necessary to enable the Note Administrator to prepare any report or to enable

Section 10.13 Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry.

(a) The Note Administrator shall make the “Investor Q&A Forum” available to Privileged Persons and prospective investors in Notes by means of the Note Administrator’s Website, where Noteholders (including beneficial owners of Notes) may (i) submit inquiries to the Note Administrator relating to the Monthly Reports, and submit inquiries to the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer (each, a “Q&A Respondent”) relating to any servicing reports prepared by that party, the Collateral Interests, or the properties related thereto (each, an “Inquiry” and collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for a Q&A Respondent, the Note Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the applicable Q&A Respondent, in each case via email within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Note Administrator and the applicable Q&A Respondent, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the applicable Q&A Respondent shall be by email to the Note Administrator. The Note Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Note Administrator’s Website. If the Note Administrator or the applicable Q&A Respondent determines, in its respective sole

- 186 -

discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is not of a type described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Loan Documents, this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Note Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable or (v) answering any such inquiry would reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of an attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product, or is otherwise not advisable to answer, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and shall promptly notify the Note Administrator of such determination. The Note Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry shall not be answered in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Any notice by the Note Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that shall not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Indenture and the Servicing Agreement provides that the Note Administrator, Servicer and Special Servicer shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described in the Indenture, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Issuer and/or the Noteholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the Loan Documents, the Indenture or the Servicing Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (v) answering any such inquiry would reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of an attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product, or is otherwise not advisable to answer, no inference shall be drawn from the fact that the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum shall be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Placement Agents or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Placement Agents, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Seller, the Collateral Manager, the Advancing Agent, the Future Funding Indemnitor, the Retention Holder, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note Administrator or the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates shall certify to any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Note Administrator shall not be required to post to the Note Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Note Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum shall not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Note Administrator’s Website. Additionally, the Note Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Q&A Forum.

(b) The Note Administrator shall make available to any Noteholder or Preferred Shareholder and any beneficial owner of a Note, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Note Administrator’s Website, where Noteholders and beneficial owners of Notes can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Noteholder or beneficial owner that has so registered. Any Person registering to use the Investor Registry shall be required to certify that (i) it is a Noteholder, a beneficial owner of a Note or a Preferred Shareholder and (ii) it grants authorization to the Note Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least 45 days from the

- 187 -

date of such certification to other registered Noteholders and registered beneficial owners or Notes. Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and email address, as well as certain optional fields such as address, and phone number. If any Noteholder or beneficial owner of a Note notifies the Note Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within forty-five (45) days of its registration), the Note Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry. The Note Administrator shall not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor Registry, or for monitoring or otherwise maintaining the accuracy of any information thereon. The Note Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Registry.

(c) Certain information concerning the Collateral and the Notes made available pursuant to clauses (i)-(iv) of Section 10.12, shall be provided by the Note Administrator to the Market Data Providers upon receipt by the Note Administrator from such persons of a certification in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit R, which certification may be submitted electronically through the Note Administrator’s Website. The Issuer hereby authorizes the provision of such information to the Market Data Providers.

The Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to answer each inquiry, unless it determines that (a) answering the inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, the Indenture, the Servicing Agreement or the applicable loan documents, (b) answering the inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (c) answering the inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, such party, and the performance of such additional duty or the payment of such additional cost or expense is beyond the scope of its duties under this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. In the event that any of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer declines to answer an inquiry, it shall promptly email the 17g-5 Information Provider with the basis of such declination. The 17g-5 Information Provider will be required to post the inquiries and the related answers (or reports, as applicable) on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Servicer Document Request Tool promptly upon receipt, or in the event that an inquiry is unanswered, the inquiry and the basis for which it was unanswered. The Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Servicer Document Request Tool may not reflect questions, answers, or other communications which are not submitted through the 17g-5 Website. Answers and information posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Servicer Document Request Tool will be attributable only to the respondent, and will not be deemed to be answers from any other Person. No such other Person will have any responsibility or liability for, and will not be deemed to have knowledge of, the content of any such information.

Section 12.1 Sales of Collateral Interests.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly permitted or required by this Indenture, the Issuer shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Interest. The Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement, may direct the Special Servicer (on behalf of the Trustee) in writing to sell at any time, subject to satisfaction of the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements:

(i) any Defaulted Collateral Interest;

(ii) any Credit Risk Collateral Interest, unless in the case of a sale of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest to an entity other than the Collateral Manager or an affiliate thereof that is for a cash purchase price that is less than the Par Purchase Price thereof, the Note Protection Tests were not satisfied as of the immediately preceding Measurement Date and have not been cured as of the proposed sale date; and

(iii) any Collateral Interest acquired in violation of the Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria or the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements.

The Trustee shall sell any Collateral Interest in any sale permitted pursuant to this Section 12.1(a), as directed by the Collateral Manager. Promptly after any sale pursuant to this Section 12.1(a), the Collateral Manager shall notify the 17g-5 Information Provider of the Collateral Interest sold and the sale price and shall provide such other information relating to such sale as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies.

(b) In addition, with respect to any Defaulted Collateral Interest or Credit Risk Collateral Interest permitted to be sold pursuant to Section 12.1(a), such Defaulted Collateral Interest or Credit Risk Collateral Interest may be sold by the Issuer at the direction of the Collateral Manager:

- 197 -

(i) to an entity, other than an Interested Person; or

(ii) to an Interested Person for a cash purchase price that is equal to or greater than:

(1) with respect to (A) Defaulted Collateral Interests, at any time, and (B) Credit Risk Collateral Interests, until the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, in each case, the Par Purchase Price thereof; and

(2) with respect to Credit Risk Collateral Interests, after the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, following disclosure to, and approval by, the Advisory Committee in accordance with the Collateral Management Agreement, the greater of (A) the Par Purchase Price thereof and (B) the fair market value thereof (any such purchase pursuant to Section 12.1(b)(ii), a “Credit Risk/Defaulted Collateral Interest Cash Purchase”).

If a Collateral Interest that is a Defaulted Collateral Interest is not sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer within three years of such Collateral Interest becoming a Defaulted Collateral Interest, the Collateral Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer to sell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral Interest as soon as commercially practicable thereafter. The Issuer shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral Interest for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses resulting from market value changes.

In connection with the sale of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest or a Defaulted Collateral Interest in accordance with Section 12.1(a) or this Section 12.1(b), the Collateral Manager may cause the Issuer to create one or more participation interests in such Defaulted Collateral Interest or Credit Risk Collateral Interest and direct the Special Servicer or the Trustee to sell one or more of such participation interests.

In the case of a sale of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest or a Defaulted Collateral Interest, or the exchange of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest, in each case, which is a Combined Loan, the related Mortgage Loan and the corresponding Mezzanine Loan shall be sold or exchanged together.

(c) Whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Collateral Interest shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person. If the Trustee is required to determine the fair price for any Defaulted Collateral Interest, Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Issuer), and shall be required to, if the purchaser is the Seller or any of its Affiliates, designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to the Defaulted Collateral Interest, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine the fair market value for such Defaulted Collateral Interest. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such third party determination; provided that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price for purposes of this Section 12.1 unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) if the Defaulted Collateral Interest has been marketed

- 198 -

for sale for a period of less than three (3) months, at least one other offer is received from an independent third party. All reasonable fees and costs of any appraisals, inspection reports, and opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be paid in advance of any determination by the applicable Interested Person; provided that the Trustee may not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

(d) At all times the Majority of the Preferred Shares shall have the rights (such rights, collectively, the “PE Purchase Rights”) to purchase (i) any Defaulted Collateral Interest for a purchase that is equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price and (ii) any Credit Risk Collateral Interest for a purchase price that is equal to or greater than (1) until the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, the Par Purchase Price and (2) after the Disposition Limitation Threshold has been met, following disclosure to, and approval by, the Advisory Committee in accordance with the Collateral Management Agreement, the greater of (A) the Par Purchase Price and (B) the fair market value thereof.

(e) A Defaulted Collateral Interest or Credit Risk Collateral Interest may be disposed of at any time, following disclosure to, and approval by, the Advisory Committee, by the Collateral Manager directing the Issuer to exchange such Defaulted Collateral Interest or Credit Risk Collateral Interest for (1) a Collateral Interest owned by an affiliate of the Collateral Manager that satisfies the Eligibility Criteria and the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements (such Collateral Interest, an “Exchange Collateral Interest”) or (2) a combination of an Exchange Collateral Interest and cash (such exchange, a “Credit Risk/Defaulted Collateral Interest Exchange”); provided that:

(i) the sum of (A) the Par Purchase Price of such Exchange Collateral Interest plus (B) the cash amount (if any) to be paid to the Issuer by the Collateral Manager or such affiliate thereof in connection with such exchange, is equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price of the Credit Risk Collateral Interest or Defaulted Collateral Interest sought to be exchanged; and

(ii) with respect to any such exchange of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest after the Reinvestment Period, the Credit Risk Exchange Limitation is satisfied.

If the Collateral Manager directs the sale of a Collateral Interest acquired in violation of the Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria or the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, the Issuer may sell such Collateral Interest to the Collateral Manager or an affiliate thereof for a cash purchase price that is equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price thereof.

If the Collateral Manager does not promptly direct the sale of a Collateral Interest that is determined to have been acquired in violation of the Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition Criteria or the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements, the Issuer shall satisfy, solely with respect to Moody’s, the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such Collateral Interest within sixty (60) days after such date of determination. If the Issuer satisfies such Rating Agency Condition with respect to such Collateral Interest within such time period, the Issuer may retain such Collateral Interest. If the Issuer does not satisfy, with respect to Moody’s, the Rating Agency Condition

- 199 -

with respect to such Collateral Interest within such time period, the Issuer shall promptly sell such Collateral Interest to the Collateral Manager or an affiliate thereof for a cash purchase price that is equal to or greater than the Par Purchase Price thereof.

In connection with the exchange of a Credit Risk Collateral Interest or a Defaulted Collateral Interest as in accordance with this Section 12.1(e), the Collateral Manager may cause the Issuer to create one or more participation interests in such Defaulted Collateral Interest or Credit Risk Collateral Interest and direct the Special Servicer or the Trustee to exchange one or more of such participation interests.

(f) After the Issuer has notified the Trustee of an Optional Redemption, a Clean-Up Call, an Auction Call Redemption or a Tax Redemption in accordance with Section 9.3, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, and acting pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement, may at any time direct the Special Servicer (on behalf of the Trustee) in writing by Issuer Order to sell, and the Trustee shall sell in the manner directed by the Collateral Manager in writing, any Collateral Interest without regard to the foregoing limitations in Section 12.1(a); provided that:

(i) the Sale Proceeds therefrom must be used to pay certain expenses and redeem all of the Notes in whole but not in part pursuant to Section 9.1, and upon any such sale the Trustee shall release the lien on such Collateral Interest pursuant to Section 10.10, and the Custodian shall upon receipt of a Request for Release, release the related Collateral Interest File;

(ii) the Issuer may not direct the Special Servicer (on behalf of the Trustee) to sell (and the Trustee shall not be required to release) a Collateral Interest pursuant to this Section 12.1(e) unless:

(1) the Collateral Manager certifies, in an Officer’s Certificate, to the Trustee and the Note Administrator that, in the Collateral Manager’s reasonable business judgment based on calculations included in the certification (which shall include the sales prices of the Collateral Interests), the Sale Proceeds from the sale of one or more of the Collateral Interests and all Cash and proceeds from Eligible Investments will be at least equal to the Total Redemption Price; and

(2) the Independent accountants appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.13 shall recalculate the calculations made in clause (1) above and prepare an agreed-upon procedures report; and

(iii) in connection with an Optional Redemption, an Auction Call Redemption, a Clean-up Call, or a Tax Redemption, all the Collateral Interests to be sold pursuant to this Section 12.1(e) must be sold in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 9.1(f).

(g) In the event that any Notes remain Outstanding as of the Payment Date occurring six months prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes, the Collateral Manager will be

- 200 -

required to determine whether the proceeds expected to be received on the Collateral Interests prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes will be sufficient to pay in full the principal amount of (and accrued interest on) the Notes on the Stated Maturity Date. If the Collateral Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that such proceeds will not be sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on the Notes on the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes, the Issuer shall, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, be obligated to liquidate the portion of Collateral Interests sufficient to pay the remaining principal amount of and interest on the Notes on or before the Stated Maturity Date. The Collateral Interests to be liquidated by the Issuer will be selected by the Collateral Manager.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall be permitted to sell to a Permitted Subsidiary any Sensitive Asset for consideration consisting of equity interests in such Permitted Subsidiary (or an increase in the value of equity interests already owned).

(i) Under no circumstances shall the Trustee in its individual capacity be required to acquire any Collateral Interests or any property related thereto.

(j) Any Collateral Interest sold pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be released from the lien of this Indenture.

(k) Any Collateral Interest that was required at acquisition to satisfy the Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements or, as applicable, the Acquisition Criteria, but failed to do so, may be sold by the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer to the Seller or an affiliate thereof within 60 days of such acquisition at a price that is equal to the Par Purchase Price of such Collateral Interest.

(a) Except as provided in Section 12.3(c), during the Reinvestment Period (or within 60 days after the end of the Reinvestment Period with respect to reinvestments made pursuant to binding commitments to purchase entered into during the Reinvestment Period), amounts (or Eligible Investments) credited to the Reinvestment Account may, but are not required to, be reinvested in Reinvestment Collateral Interests (which shall be, and hereby are upon acquisition by the Issuer, Granted to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of this Indenture) that satisfy the applicable Eligibility Criteria, the Acquisition and Disposition Requirements and the following additional criteria (the “Acquisition Criteria”), as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator substantially in the form of Exhibit S (which shall include the subsequent transfer instrument substantially in the form of Annex A to the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement attached to such Officer’s Certificate), delivered as of the date of the commitment to purchase such Reinvestment Collateral Interests:

(i) for commitments to purchase made after the Ramp-Up Acquisition Period, the Note Protection Tests are satisfied; and

- 201 -

(ii) for commitments to purchase made at any time, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

In addition, the acquisition by the Issuer of any Reinvestment Collateral Interest shall be conditioned upon receipt by the Note Administrator and Custodian of a Subsequent Transfer Instrument which shall, as of the date of such transfer, (1) list the purchase price for such Subsequent Collateral Interest, (2) warrant and confirm the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 3 of the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement and (3) make the representations and warranties made in Section 4 of the Collateral Interest Purchase Agreement, subject only to such exceptions, if any, as are taken by the Seller with respect to such Collateral Interest (which are also set forth on such transfer instrument). In connection with any such acquisition, the Custodian shall receive the Collateral Interest File at least one Business Day prior to the acquisition or a bailee letter, and a Subsequent Transfer Instrument and shall review such Collateral Interest File in accordance with Section 3.3(f).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, (i) Cash on deposit in the Reinvestment Account may be invested in Eligible Investments pending investment in Reinvestment Collateral Interests and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Reinvestment Collateral Interest may be acquired unless it was the subject of a commitment entered into by the Issuer prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, at any time when the Retention Holder or an Affiliate that is wholly-owned by BRSP Sub-REIT and is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds 100% of the Preferred Shares, it may contribute additional Cash, Eligible Investments and/or Collateral Interests to the Issuer so long as, in the case of Collateral Interests, any such Collateral Interests satisfy the Eligibility Criteria at the time of such contribution, including, but not limited to, for purposes of effecting any cure rights reserved for the holder of the Participations, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the related Participation Agreement or Amended Participation Agreement, as applicable. Cash or Eligible Investments contributed to the Issuer by the Retention Holder (during the Reinvestment Period) shall be credited to the Reinvestment Account (unless the Collateral Manager directs otherwise) and may be reinvested by the Issuer in Reinvestment Collateral Interests so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) Amounts on deposit in the Reinvestment Account will be available for the table-funding and subsequent acquisition of any Reinvestment Collateral Interest as long as the Custodian is in possession of either (i) the related Loan Documents or (ii) a bailee letter received from origination counsel or another bailee that is issued with respect to the related Loan Documents; provided that the bailee under the bailee letter will not be an agent of the Custodian and the Loan Documents held under bailee letter shall be delivered to the Custodian no later than three Business Days following the acquisition.

ARTICLE 14

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee and Note Administrator. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

- 207 -

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel also may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, or the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, certifying as to the factual matters that form a basis for such Opinion of Counsel and stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee or the Note Administrator at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s or the Co-Issuer’s rights to make such request or direction, the Trustee or the Note Administrator shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(g).

Section 14.2 Acts of Securityholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Securityholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose

- 208 -

of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee or the Note Administrator deems sufficient.

(c) The principal amount and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the Notes Register. The Notional Amount and registered numbers of the Preferred Shares held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the register of members maintained with respect to the Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee and Note Administrator may conclusively rely on an Investor Certification to determine ownership of any Notes.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Securityholder shall bind such Securityholder (and any transferee thereof) of such Security and of every Security issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Share Registrar, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 14.4 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement provides for notice to Holders of Notes of any event,

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Note affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Notes Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice;

(b) such notice shall be in the English language; and

- 212 -

Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Note shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Notes. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Notes shall be made with the approval of the Note Administrator and shall constitute sufficient notification to such Holders of Notes for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee and with the Note Administrator, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In the event that, by reason of the suspension of the regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture or any other agreement or document, any report, statement, notice or other information (including notices of supplemental indentures in accordance with Section 8.3) required to be provided by the Trustee or the Note Administrator pursuant to the Transaction Documents may be provided by providing access to the Note Administrator’s Website containing such information.

Section 14.5 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 14.6 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 14.7 Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 14.8 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than (i) the parties hereto and their

- 213 -

successors hereunder and (ii) the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Preferred Shareholders, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Share Registrar and the Noteholders (each of whom shall be an express third party beneficiary hereunder), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 14.10 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes or this Indenture, and each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to it at the office of the Issuer’s and the Co-Issuer’s agent set forth in Section 7.2. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 14.11 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. This Indenture and any document in the Collateral Interest File shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party (and any respective successors and permitted assigns thereof) when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of such party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case, to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned or

- 214 -

photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Indenture in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart to this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

Section 14.12 Liability of Co-Issuers. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement entered into between, inter alios, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or otherwise, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall have any liability whatsoever to the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively, under this Indenture, the Notes, any such agreement or otherwise and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be entitled to take any steps to enforce, or bring any action or proceeding, in respect of this Indenture, the Notes, any such agreement or otherwise against the other Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively. In particular, neither the Issuer nor the Co-Issuer shall be entitled to petition or take any other steps for the winding up or bankruptcy of the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively or shall have any claim in respect of any Collateral of the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively.

Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, upon its request from time to time, such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable, to comply with Applicable Law. The Issuer and Company Administrator are subject to laws in the Cayman Islands, which impose similar obligations to the Applicable Laws, including with regard to verifying the identity and source of funds of investors.
