31

to the Custodian, which Asset Schedule must be received by Buyer prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date.

In the event that Seller gives Buyer authority to correct the computer data, reformat the Asset Schedule or properly align the computer fields, Seller shall hold Buyer harmless for such correction, reformatting or realigning, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

(ii) Upon Seller’s request to enter into a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) and assuming all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3 have been met and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the requested Purchase Date, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, purchase the Eligible Mortgage Loans included in the related Transaction Notice pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In connection with entering into such Transaction, the Seller shall remit to Buyer or its designated agent the applicable Haircut Amount and Buyer shall send, or cause to be sent, the Purchase Price and Haircut Amount to the applicable warehouse lender as directed by Seller.

(iii) Each Transaction Notice together with this Agreement and the Pricing Side Letter, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby.

(iv) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during such period Seller may sell to, repurchase from and resell to Buyer Eligible Mortgage Loans hereunder.

(v) Seller shall deliver to the Custodian, in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement, the Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan to be sold to Buyer hereunder on the requested Purchase Date; provided that with respect to any eMortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver to Custodian each of Buyer’s and Seller’s MERS Org IDs, and shall use MERS eDelivery and the MERS eRegistry to cause (i) the Authoritative Copy of the related eNote to be delivered to the eVault via a secure electronic file, (ii) the Controller status of the related eNote to reflect the MERS Org ID of Buyer, (iii) the Location status of the related

Upon ▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the Trust Receipt in accordance with the Custodial Agreement and subject to the provisions of this Section 3, to the extent that Buyer agrees in its sole discretion to fund the related Purchase Price on the Purchase Date, such aggregate Purchase Price for the related Transaction shall then be made available to Seller by Buyer transferring, via wire transfer, in the aggregate amount of such Purchase Prices in funds immediately available in accordance with Section 10(b).

Section 4. Repurchases.

(a) Seller shall repurchase the related Purchased Mortgage Loans from Buyer without penalty or premium on each related Repurchase Date. On the Repurchase Date for any Transaction, termination of such Transaction will be effected by reassignment to Seller or its designee of the Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transaction against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price (excluding the amounts identified in clause (B) of the definition of Repurchase Price, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be paid on the next succeeding Price Differential Payment Date) to the Settlement Account of Buyer. Buyer shall instruct the Custodian to release the Mortgage Files with respect to each repurchased Purchased Mortgage Loan to Seller or its designee at Seller’s expense on the related Repurchase Date, and in the case of a repurchased Purchased Mortgage Loan that is an eMortgage Loan, Buyer shall initiate a Transfer of Location and update to Delegatee status with respect thereto as may be directed by Seller.

(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, Seller may effect a repurchase in connection with the sale or disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans to a Take-out Investor or other applicable buyer; provided that Seller shall not be permitted to repurchase any Purchased Mortgage Loan if the release of such Purchased Mortgage Loan would result in a Margin Deficit unless such Margin Deficit is simultaneously cured by Seller in connection with such repurchase by payment by Seller. If Seller intends to make such a repurchase, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the desired Repurchase Date, Seller shall cause the Take-out Investor or other applicable buyer to (i) provide Buyer with a purchase advice notice identifying the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s) being repurchased and the related take-out price(s), and (ii) make payment directly to the Settlement Account of Buyer in an amount equal to the aggregate net proceeds to be received by Seller in connection with the related sale. Buyer shall promptly apply such funds to the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans and shall promptly remit any excess to Seller; provided, that Buyer shall have no obligation to apply payments in the event that it is unable to identify the Purchased Mortgage Loans to which such payments correspond.

33

(c) Without limiting Buyer’s rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof or otherwise, if at any time there has occurred a Purchased Mortgage Loan Issue with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer may, at its option, by written notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Repurchase Notice”), require Seller or its designee to repurchase such Purchased Mortgage Loan by remitting the related Repurchase Price (excluding the amounts identified in clause (B) of the definition of Repurchase Price, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be paid on the next succeeding Price Differential Payment Date) to the Settlement Account of Buyer as soon as is practicable but, in any case, not more than two (2) Business Days after Buyer has delivered such Repurchase Notice to Seller.

(d) ▇▇▇▇▇’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to send a Repurchase Notice at any time a Purchased Mortgage Loan is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan shall not in any way limit or impair its right to send a Repurchase Notice at a later time.

(e) The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete due diligence investigation in connection with its purchase of any Purchased Mortgage Loan shall not affect Buyer’s right to demand repurchase or any other remedy as permitted under this Agreement.

Section 5. Income Payments; Price Differential.

(a) Income Payments.

(i) If Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Mortgage Loans during the term of a Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Seller shall cause the Servicer to remit to the Collection Account all Income in accordance with the related Servicer Side Letter. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, Seller shall, and shall cause the applicable Servicer to deposit such Income into the account set forth in Section 10(a) hereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 5, within two (2) Business Days after notification of receipt by Seller or Servicer of any prepayment of principal in full, with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall or shall cause Servicer to remit such amount directly to the Collection Account in accordance with the related Servicer Side Letter. Buyer shall immediately apply any such amount received to reduce the amount of the Repurchase Price due upon termination of the related Transaction and to the extent no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall promptly remit any excess to Seller; provided, that Buyer shall have no obligation to apply such payments in the event that it is unable to identify the Purchased Mortgage Loans to which such payments correspond.

34

(iii) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on each Price Differential Payment Date, Buyer shall remit all Income in the Collection Account with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans as follows:

(A) first, to Buyer, in payment of any accrued and unpaid Price Differential to the extent not paid by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof;

(B) second, to Buyer, in the order of priority as determined in accordance with Section 4, in reduction of the Repurchase Price of any liquidation, pay-off or repurchase of any Purchased Mortgage Loan up to the amount advanced by Buyer;

(C) third, without limiting the rights of Buyer under Section 7 hereof, to Buyer, in the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit in excess of the Minimum Margin Threshold;

(D) fourth, to the payment of all other Obligations then due and owing to Buyer; and

(E) fifth, to, or at the direction of Seller, any remaining amounts.

(iv) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all funds received by Buyer pursuant to this Section 5 shall be applied to reduce Obligations as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

(b) Price Differential.

(i) On each Business Day that a Transaction is outstanding, the Pricing Rate shall be reset and, unless otherwise agreed, the accrued and unpaid Price Differential for each Price Differential Collection Period shall be settled in cash on the following Price Differential Payment Date. Two (2) Business Days prior to the Price Differential Payment Date, Buyer shall give Seller written or electronic notice of the amount of the Price Differential due on such Price Differential Payment Date. On the Price Differential Payment Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Price Differential for such Price Differential Payment Date (along with any other amounts due from Seller under this Agreement or any other Facility Document), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account set forth in Section 10(a) hereof.

(ii) If Seller fails to pay all or part of the Price Differential by 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Price Differential Payment Date, with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (in addition to, and together with, the amount of such Price Differential) interest on the unpaid Repurchase Price at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential is received in full by Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s obligation to pay any Price Differential to Buyer shall not be deemed to be satisfied (and such Price Differential shall not deemed to be paid to Buyer) until the amount of such Price Differential is actually received by Buyer in the account of Buyer that is referenced in Section 10(a) of this Agreement (and not the Settlement Account or any other account).

35

Section 6. Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (excluding in all cases (1) Indemnified Taxes and (2) Excluded Taxes described in Sections 8(e) and (g));

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of Term SOFR hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other material condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, solely to the extent Buyer has imposed such increased costs on other similarly-situated sellers in similar facilities, Seller may, at its option, either terminate this Agreement and promptly remit payment of any outstanding Obligations hereunder (exclusive of any penalty or Exit Fee) or promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, solely to the extent Buyer has imposed such increased costs on other similarly-situated sellers in similar facilities, Seller may, at its option, either terminate this Agreement and promptly remit payment of any outstanding Obligations hereunder (exclusive of any penalty or Exit Fee) or promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction

36

(c) If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided that Seller shall under no circumstances be obligated to pay any such amounts to the extent incurred by Buyer for any period prior to the date that is ninety (90) days prior to Seller’s receipt of written notice thereof. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 7. Margin Maintenance.

(a) If at any time the Aggregate Facility Purchase Price is greater than the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions (the positive amount of such difference, a “Margin Deficit”), and such Margin Deficit is greater than the Minimum Margin Threshold, then Buyer may by written notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash in an amount at least equal to the Margin Deficit (such amount, a “Margin Payment”); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may determine the Asset Value and any related Margin Deficit on an individual loan basis for any Purchased Mortgage Loan, in which event it shall, upon receipt, apply all amounts received with respect to any individual Purchased Mortgage Loans against the Purchase Price thereof.

(b) If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer the Margin Payment to Buyer or its designee no later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day. In the event ▇▇▇▇▇ delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer the Margin Payment no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day.

(c) Seller shall transfer any Margin Payment to the account of Buyer that is referenced in Section 10(a) of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that a Margin Deficit exists with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may retain any funds received by it to which the Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) shall be held by Buyer against the related Margin Deficit and (ii) may be applied by Buyer against the Repurchase Price of any Purchased Mortgage Loan for which the related Margin Deficit remains otherwise unsatisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇ retains the right, in its sole discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.

(e) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions of this Agreement or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

37

Section 8. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 8) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) and branch profits Taxes, in each case imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 8 imposed on or paid by ▇▇▇▇▇ (collectively, “Indemnified Taxes”) and any reasonable liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 8(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 8(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which ▇▇▇▇▇ makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

38

Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person, or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN or U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN-E in which Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States, if applicable, providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and, if applicable, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Section 8 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms thereto) and, if applicable, a Section 8 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) if applicable, a Section 8 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary; or

39

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) if applicable, a Section 8 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Buyer.

If Buyer has provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)-(vii) above and the form provided by Buyer either at the time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall not be treated as “Non-Excluded Taxes” (hereinafter, such Taxes that are expressly excluded from Non-Excluded Taxes are referred to as “Excluded Taxes”) and shall not cease to be Excluded Taxes, and qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes, unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form, if any, as required by Section 8(e), certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the Effective Date) a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 8, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f) For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 8 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer, or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 8 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

40

(g) If a payment made to a Buyer under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer shall deliver to the Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable laws (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as may be necessary for the Seller to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Buyer has complied with the Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 8(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. If any withholding Taxes are imposed under FATCA, such Taxes shall be treated as Excluded Taxes.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 8 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

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

(a) Security Interest. On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all right, title and interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans listed on the related Asset Schedule to the extent of its rights therein, although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (in each case, other than for accounting and tax purposes), in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Seller’s rights, title and interest in:

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition to the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit D hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof. Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge that the Power of Attorney shall terminate on the Termination Date and satisfaction in full of the Obligations.

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 16 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets.

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect ▇▇▇▇▇’s interests in the Repurchase Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Seller acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇ acts as ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s agent for the limited purpose of placing funds with the Buyer, and that funds held by ▇▇▇▇▇ as Seller’s agent are not a deposit account or other liability of Buyer.

(iii) any other event or condition occurs or exists with respect to a Plan or a Multiemployer Plan; and, such event or condition, together with all other such events or conditions, if any, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 16. Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the following rights and remedies are available to Buyer; provided, that an Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by ▇▇▇▇▇ in writing:

(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Seller), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

(A) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Mortgage Loans, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subsection (a)(i) of this Section, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder, and (3) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s or Servicer’s possession or control, including Purchased Mortgage Loans; and

63

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section.

(iii) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in Facility Documents.

(iv) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer, or Buyer through its Affiliates or designees, may (A) immediately sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets, to retain such Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets, and give Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the market value of the related Mortgage Loans (as determined and adjusted by Buyer in its sole discretion, giving such weight to the Market Value or outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as Buyer deems appropriate) against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Facility Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets effected pursuant to the foregoing shall be applied as determined by Buyer.

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual expenses, including reasonable documented legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or hedging transactions, and (C) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to satisfy any Obligations with funds remaining in the Operating Account.

64

(vi) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets, Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. Seller recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets, Seller agrees that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(c) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) it might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(d) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

65

(e) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets against all of Seller’s Obligations to Buyer, whether or not such Obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

Section 17. Indemnification and Expenses.

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of outside counsel, and Taxes relating to or arising in connection with the ownership of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, but excluding any Taxes otherwise expressly indemnified against, or excluded from indemnification in Section 8 of this Agreement) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including without limitation any such liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses arising from any acts or omissions of a Servicer), that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (which gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction unless otherwise appealed). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Purchased Mortgage Loans, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (which gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction unless otherwise appealed). In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Mortgage Loans for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller’s agreements in this Section 17 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ also agrees not to assert any claim

66

against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(b) Seller agrees to pay within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with (i) the development, preparation, and execution of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith in an amount not to exceed the Legal Fee Cap; provided, that, the Legal Fee Cap shall not apply to the preparation of any Servicer Side Letter, and (ii) any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller agrees to pay within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Buyer all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of outside counsel, subject to any limitations including, without limitation, the Legal Fee Cap, set forth in this Agreement or the Pricing Side Letter, to Buyer which amount may be deducted from the Purchase Price paid for the first Transaction hereunder. Subject to the Due Diligence Cap and the limitations set forth in Sections 20 and 31 hereof, Seller agrees to pay Buyer all the out-of-pocket due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller for purchase under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 16(b) and 20 hereof in an amount not to exceed the Due Diligence Cap.

(c) The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

Section 18. Servicing.

(a) Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall service or contract with a Servicer to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by such Servicer and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall (i) comply in all material respects with all applicable Requirements of Law, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Purchased Mortgage Loan or any payment thereunder.

67

(b) Seller shall cause the Servicer to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by Seller with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loans in trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.

(c) Seller shall, or shall cause the Servicer and any interim servicer to, deposit all collections received by Seller or Servicer on account of the Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(a)(i).

(d) If any Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced or subserviced by a servicer other than a currently approved Servicer, or if the servicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loan is to be transferred from a currently approved Servicer to another servicer, Seller shall, prior to such Purchase Date or servicing transfer date, as applicable, (i) provide Buyer with the related Servicing Agreement pursuant to which such servicer shall service such Mortgage Loans, which Servicing Agreement shall be acceptable to Buyer in all respects, (ii) obtain Buyer’s prior written consent to the use of such servicer in the performance of such servicing duties and obligations, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion and (iii) provide Buyer with a fully executed servicer notice or letter agreement, executed by Buyer, Seller and such Servicer (each, a “Servicer Side Letter”), in form and substance acceptable to Buyer with respect to such Servicer. In no event shall Seller’s use of a Servicer relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder, and Seller shall remain liable under this Agreement as if Seller were servicing such Mortgage Loans directly. Seller hereby agrees and acknowledges, and shall cause any Servicer to agree and acknowledge, that Buyer or its designees shall have the right to conduct examinations and audits of the Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, to the extent set forth in the Servicing Agreement and any related servicer notice or letter agreement. Buyer shall also have the right to obtain copies of all Records and files of the Servicer relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, including all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the servicing thereof.

(e) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or a Servicer Termination Event, with regard to Servicing-Released Mortgage Loans, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans under the Servicing Agreement (subject to the related servicing transfer period) without payment of any penalty or termination fee, but subject to any limitations set forth in the servicer notice or letter agreement with the Servicer. Seller and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing and all Records of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by ▇▇▇▇▇ in its discretion.

(f) If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Seller or any entity responsible by contract to Seller for managing or servicing any such Purchased Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and promptly remedy any non-compliance.

68

(g) The Servicer’s rights and obligations to interim service the Purchased Mortgage Loans that are Servicing-Released Mortgage Loans shall terminate on the twentieth (20^th) day of each calendar month (and if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), unless otherwise directed in writing by the Buyer prior to such date. For purposes of this provision, notice provided by electronic mail shall constitute written notice. For the avoidance of doubt, this Subsection 18(g) shall no longer apply to any Purchased Mortgage Loan that is repurchased in full by Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and therefore is no longer subject to a Transaction. Upon termination, the Servicer shall transfer servicing, including, without limitation, delivery of all servicing files to the designee of the Buyer. The Servicer’s delivery of servicing files shall be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Seller and Servicer shall have no right to select a subservicer or successor servicer. After the servicing terminates and until the servicing transfer date, the Servicer shall service the Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and for the benefit of the Buyer.

Section 19. [Reserved].

Section 20. Due Diligence. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller, Guarantor and each Servicer, including, without limitation, financial information, organization documents, business plans, purchase agreements and underwriting purchase models for each pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, to review the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its Authorized Representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loans (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, Seller shall create and deliver to Buyer within three (3) Business Days of such request, an electronic copy via email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇, in a format acceptable to Buyer, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller shall also provide to Buyer all loan level due diligence conducted by a third-party on the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Such due diligence may be provided to Buyer after the Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction. Buyer will periodically review Seller’s loan level due diligence process and findings and may request additional loan level due diligence be conducted if deemed necessary in its reasonable discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller and enter into additional Transactions with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Purchased Mortgage Loan, which information may be used by Buyer to calculate Market Value. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to cooperate with Buyer or any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not

69

limited to, providing Buyer with access to any documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇’s due diligence activities pursuant to this Section 20 in an amount not to exceed the Due Diligence Cap; provided, that, the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 21. Assignability.

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Buyer may, from time to time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents with the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld) to any Person pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇ and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned; provided, that, with respect to any assignment to an Affiliate of Buyer or made during the continuation of an Event of Default, no such consent from Seller shall be required. Buyer shall provide to Seller written notice of any such assignment; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such assignment. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by ▇▇▇▇▇ in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee this Agreement, the Facility Documents and any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

(b) Buyer, upon written notice to Seller (provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any sale pursuant to this Section 21(b)), may, from time to time, sell participations to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person with the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld); provided, that, with respect to any such sale to an Affiliate of Buyer or made during the continuation of an Event of Default, no such consent from Seller shall be required; provided, further, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 8; and (iv) Buyer shall act as agent for all purchasers, assignees and point of contact for Seller pursuant to agency provisions to be agreed upon by Buyer, its intended purchasers and/or assignees and Seller.

70

(c) Subject to Section 32, Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 21, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, this Agreement, the Facility Documents and any document or other information relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries.

(d) In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities.

Section 22. Transfer and Maintenance of Register.

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 22, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇, on Seller’s behalf, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it shall record ▇▇▇▇▇’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned or participated. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall provide Seller, or maintain as agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or under any applicable Requirement of Law.

Section 23. Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal taxes and all relevant state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 24. Set-Off.

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right during the continuation of an Event of Default, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Seller, Guarantor, or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any Affiliate thereof any and all deposits

71

(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller; provided, however, that the aforesaid right to set-off shall not apply to any deposits of escrow monies being held on behalf of the Mortgagors related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or other third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any Facility Document, if Seller or any of its Affiliates (each such entity, a “Seller Entity”) owes any obligation to Buyer or any Affiliate thereof (each such entity, a “Buyer Entity”), such Buyer Entity may aggregate, setoff and net: (i) any collateral pledged by any Seller Entity to any Buyer Entity or held or carried for any Seller Entity by any Buyer Entity; and (ii) any collateral required to be paid or returned by any Seller Entity to any Buyer Entity. ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off permitted under this Section and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amounts or deliver any property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred. For avoidance of doubt and not as a limitation, Buyer may set-off any amounts in the Operating Account against any outstanding Obligations provided an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but may not set-off, transfer or withdraw any amounts from the Operating Account unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 25. Terminability. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 17 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 26. Notices and Other Communications. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by electronic mail or facsimile) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Sections 3 and 4 (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

72

Section 27. Entire Agreement; Severability; Single Agreement.

(a) This Agreement and the Facility Documents collectively constitute the entire understanding between Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions involving Purchased Mortgage Loans. By acceptance of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller acknowledges that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted and (iii) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application.

Section 28. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH SHALL GOVERN.

Section 29. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. BUYER AND SELLER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

(a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

SCHEDULE 1-A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO

PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS

Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan, as of the Purchase Date for such Purchased Mortgage Loan and at all times while such Purchased Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty for purposes of determining Asset Value.

(a) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Purchased Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Purchased Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Purchased Mortgage Loan been thirty (30) days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Purchased Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within thirty (30) days thereof, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. No payment required under the Purchased Mortgage Loan is or has ever been subject to forbearance for any reason.

(b) No Outstanding Charges. All taxes and governmental assessments or other similar charges, levies or assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds (for Mortgage Loans other than Cooperative Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise required by law) has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Purchased Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Purchased Mortgage Loan.

(c) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Asset Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. The related Mortgage and Mortgage Note contain the entire agreement of the parties and all of the obligations of the Seller under the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

Schedule 1-A-1

(d) No Defenses. The Purchased Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Purchased Mortgage Loan was originated. The Mortgagor in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loan is not currently a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(e) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a qualified insurer as defined by the applicable Loan Program Authority, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the applicable Loan Program Authority’s requirements applicable at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the applicable Loan Program Authority’s requirements. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1974. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Purchased Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Neither Seller nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has engaged in any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

Schedule 1-A-2

(f) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any requirements of any federal, state or local law or regulation including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Purchased Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(g) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would affect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Purchased Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(h) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or a Cooperative Unit in a Cooperative Project, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development or townhouse; provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Loan Program Authority’s requirements regarding such dwellings or shall conform to Acquisition Guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its discretion and that no residence or dwelling is a (i) a mobile home or manufactured housing unit (other than a Manufactured Home) not secured by real property, (ii) a log home, (iii) an earthen home, (iv) an underground home, (v) any dwelling situated on more property than is permitted by the applicable Loan Program Authority’s requirements applicable at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and (vi) with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by a residential long-term lease, the leasehold interest improved by a residential dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to Acquisition Guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its discretion. With respect to each Manufactured Home, such unit is a “single family residence” within the meaning of Section 25(e)(1) of the Code, and has a minimum of four hundred (400) square feet of living space, a minimum width of one hundred two (102) inches and is of a kind customarily used at a fixed location.

(i) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first priority lien and perfected first priority security interest on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing and with respect to Cooperative Mortgage Loans, including the Proprietary Lease and the Cooperative Shares. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

a. the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

Schedule 1-A-3

b. covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located and specifically referred to in Buyer’s title insurance policy or attorney’s title opinion delivered to the originator of the Purchased Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Purchased Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

c. other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Purchased Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

(j) Validity of Mortgage Documents; Fraud. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor, if applicable, in connection with a Purchased Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other principles of equity affecting the rights of creditors generally, whether considered in the proceeding at law or in equity. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Purchased Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Purchased Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. Tax identification for the Mortgagor has been certified as required by applicable law. The Seller has complied with all Internal Revenue Service requirements regarding the obtainment and solicitation of taxpayer identification numbers and the taxpayer identification numbers submitted to Buyer are correct.

(k) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. There is no further requirement for future advances under the Purchased Mortgage Loan, and any requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Purchased Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

Schedule 1-A-4

(l) Ownership. Immediately prior to the sale of a Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer, Seller was the sole owner of such Purchased Mortgage Loan and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens, in each case except for ▇▇▇▇▇ to be released simultaneously with the sale to Buyer hereunder. Seller has full right to sell the Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell each Purchased Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will own such Purchased Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(m) Doing Business. To the Seller’s knowledge, all parties which have had any interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state.

(n) Title Insurance. The Purchased Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an irrevocable title commitment, or an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, each of which must be in form and substance acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to the applicable Loan Program Authority and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to the applicable Loan Program Authority and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(d) for the purpose of carrying out the transfer of servicing with respect to the Assets from Seller to a successor servicer appointed by ▇▇▇▇▇ in its sole discretion and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish such transfer of servicing, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by Seller, to, in the name of Seller or its own name, or otherwise, prepare and send or cause to be sent “good-bye” letters to all mortgagors under the Assets, transferring the servicing of the Assets to a successor servicer appointed by ▇▇▇▇▇ in its sole discretion;
