Filing Jurisdictions and Offices

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Buyer shall from time to time enter into transactions with Seller whereby Seller sells to Buyer certain residential mortgage loans (including the servicing rights related thereto) and/or other mortgage related assets and interests, against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to sell to Seller such purchased assets at a date certain or on demand after the Purchase Date, against the transfer of funds by Seller to Buyer (each such transaction, a “Transaction”).

Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto, unless the context otherwise requires. All such defined terms shall, unless specifically provided to the contrary, have the defined meanings set forth herein when used in any other agreement, certificate or document made or delivered pursuant hereto.

Principles of Constructions.

Accounting Terms. Accounting terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given under GAAP.

Number. All terms defined in this Agreement may be used in the singular or the plural, as the context requires.

Successors and Assigns. Reference to any party shall mean that party and its successors and assigns permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

Agreement to Enter into Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, to enter into Transactions with Seller, provided that the total aggregate Transactions outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit and the aggregate type of Transactions outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the applicable Type Sublimit.

Transaction Limits. The Aggregate Transaction Limit and each Type Sublimit shall be as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter. Upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole and good faith discretion, to reduce, whether permanently or temporarily, and without refund of any fee or other amount previously paid by Seller, the Aggregate Transaction Limit and/or each Type Sublimit. In the event of any reduction pursuant to this Section 2.2, Buyer shall give Seller prior notice thereof, which notice

shall designate (a) the effective date of any such reduction, (b) the amount of the reduction and (c) the Transaction and/or Type Sublimit limit(s) to which such reduction amount shall apply. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to a reduction by Buyer in the Aggregate Transaction Limit or any Type Sublimit.

Description of Purchased Assets. With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall cause to be maintained with Buyer Purchased Assets consisting of a Purchased Mortgage Loan(s) with an Asset Value not less than, at any date, the related Purchase Price for such Transaction. With respect to each Transaction, the type of Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be the type of Mortgage Loan as specified in the Transactions Terms Letter as the Type, and in each case shall consist of the type of mortgage loans, mortgage related securities, or interests therein as described in Bankruptcy Code section 101(47)(A). If there is uncertainty as to the Type of a Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer, in its sole and good faith discretion, shall determine the correct Type for such Purchased Mortgage Loan.

Maximum Transaction Amounts. Each Transaction shall not exceed the lesser of:

the applicable Type Sublimit, as determined by the type of Purchased Mortgage Loan;

the Aggregate Transaction Limit, minus the aggregate amount of all other Transactions outstanding, if any; and

the Asset Value of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan(s).

Use of Proceeds. Seller shall use the Purchase Price of each Transaction solely for the purpose of originating and/or acquiring the related Purchased Mortgage Loan(s).

Price Differential.

Pricing Rate. Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales by Seller to Buyer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay Buyer a price differential on the Purchase Price for each Purchased Mortgage Loan from the Date of Disbursement until, but not including, the date of repurchase, at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the applicable Margin; provided, however, that if a Purchased Mortgage Loan is deemed to be a Noncompliant Mortgage Loan, thereafter, such Purchase Price shall bear a price differential at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the Type Margin for a Noncompliant Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Repurchase Price for a Transaction is not paid by Seller when due (whether at the Repurchase Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), the Purchase Price shall bear a price differential from the date due until paid in full at an annual rate equal to the Default Rate.

Time for Payment. The price differential for each Purchase Price shall be due and payable on each Payment Date which occurs prior to the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid. On the date that the Repurchase Price is paid, all accrued interest not otherwise paid by Seller shall be due and payable.

Computations. All computations of price differentials and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon a year of three-hundred sixty (360) days.

All Transactions are “Servicing Released”. The sale of Mortgage Loans by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Transactions under this Agreement, and the repurchase of such Mortgage Loans by Seller from Buyer, includes the servicing rights related to the Mortgage Loans and all Transactions under this Agreement are “servicing

released” purchase and sale transactions for all intents and purposes, it being understood that the Purchase Price paid by Buyer to Seller for each Mortgage Loan includes a premium that compensates Seller for the servicing rights related to the Mortgage Loan and upon payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer to Seller, Buyer becomes the owner of the Mortgage Loan, including the servicing rights related to the Mortgage Loan, until Seller repurchases such Mortgage Loans.

Terms and Conditions of Transactions. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long as such is occurring, in addition to any other rights and remedies afforded Buyer any terms or conditions of the Transactions Terms Letter or this Agreement, may be changed from time to time by Buyer at its sole and good faith discretion by providing prior notice to Seller; provided that any such change shall not apply to Transactions entered into prior to the effective date of such change and in no event shall the change apply to any Transaction on a retrospective basis.

Guarantee. As may be determined necessary by Buyer from time to time in its sole and good faith discretion, but only as required by the Transactions Terms Letter, Seller agrees to cause to be executed and delivered to Buyer such Guarantees and/or additional security agreements as additional support for Seller’s obligations hereunder, which Guarantees and/or additional security agreements shall be considered “margin payments” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

Policies and Procedures. In connection with the Transactions contemplated hereunder, Seller shall comply with all applicable policies and procedures of Buyer as may currently exist or as hereafter created. Such policies and procedures may be in writing, published on Buyer’s website(s) or otherwise contained in the Handbook. Buyer shall have the right to change, revise, amend or supplement its policies and procedures and the Handbook from time to time to conform to current legal requirements or Buyer practices by giving advance notice thereof to Seller; provided that any such change, revision, amendment or supplement shall not apply to Transactions entered into prior to the effective date of such change, revision, amendment or supplement, and in no event shall the change, revision, amendment or supplement apply to any Transaction on a retroactive basis.

Request for Transaction; Asset Data Record.

Request for Transaction. Seller shall request a Transaction by delivering to Buyer, electronically or in writing, an Asset Data Record for each Mortgage Loan intended to be the subject of the Transaction no later than the Transaction Request Deadline; provided, however, that (i) if Seller intends to request a Transaction or series of Transactions equal to or greater than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) or (ii) Seller is approved to receive the Purchase Price for Transactions via cashiers check and would like the Purchase Price for a Transaction to be paid by cashiers check, in either case, Seller shall provide Buyer not less than one (1) Business Day prior written notice thereof. Buyer shall confirm to Seller the terms of Transactions electronically or in writing. Buyer reserves the right to reject any Transaction request that Buyer determines, in its sole and good faith discretion, fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or Buyer’s then effective policies and procedures.

Failure to Enter into Transaction; Cancellation of Transaction. If Seller fails five (5) times or more to enter into a Transaction after Seller has requested a Transaction and submitted an Asset Data Record in connection with such request, for each Transaction requested by Seller thereafter for which Seller fails to enter into such Transaction, Seller shall pay Buyer the Breakage Fee and reimburse Buyer for any reasonable out-of-pocket losses, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with such failure to

enter into the Transaction, including, without limitation, costs relating to re-employment of funds obtained by Buyer and fees payable to terminate the arrangements through which such funds were obtained. In addition, if following disbursement by Buyer of the Purchase Price relating to any Transaction, Seller cancels such Transaction, regardless of the number of Transactions Seller has previously cancelled, Seller shall pay Buyer a price differential on such Purchase Price from the Date of Disbursement until, but not including, the date the Purchase Price is returned to Buyer.

Form of Asset Data Record. Buyer shall have the right to revise or supplement the form of the Asset Data Record from time to time by giving prior notice thereof to Seller.

Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Dry Mortgage Loans. Prior to any Transaction related to a Dry Mortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or its Custodian, or authorize and direct the Closing Agent to deliver to Buyer or its Custodian, the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

Wet Mortgage Loans. With respect to a Transaction the subject of which is a Wet Mortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or its Custodian, or authorize and direct the Closing Agent to deliver to Buyer or its Custodian, the related Mortgage Loan Documents within the Wet Mortgage Loans Maximum Dwell Time.

Government Mortgage Loans. If a Government Mortgage Loan is the subject of a Transaction, Seller shall, at the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer or its Custodian, within forty five (45) calendar days following the date of such Transaction, a mortgage insurance policy issued under an FHA insurance program or a guaranty for the full and timely payment of principal and interest issued by the VA, as applicable, or evidence of such insurance or guaranty, as applicable, including proof of payment of the premium and the case number so Buyer can access the information on the computer system maintained by FHA or the VA.

Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s Possession. At all times during which the Mortgage Loan Documents related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan are in the possession of Seller, and until such Purchased Mortgage Loan is repurchased by Seller, Seller shall hold such Mortgage Loan Documents in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer and shall act only in accordance with Buyer’s written instructions thereto. Such Mortgage Loan Documents should be clearly marked in Seller’s computer records as being subject to delivery to Buyer.

Other Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s Possession. With respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan, until such Purchased Mortgage Loan is repurchased by Seller, Seller shall hold in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer all mortgage loan documents related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan and not delivered to Buyer, including, without limitation, the Other Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable. All such mortgage loan documents shall be clearly marked in Seller’s computer records as being subject to delivery to Buyer.

Haircut. With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall ensure that there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Over/Under Account such that following the withdrawal of the Haircut by Buyer, the balance of the Over/Under Account is equal to or greater than the minimum required balance, as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter.

Over/Under Account.

Minimum Balance. Seller shall at all times maintain a margin balance in the Over/Under Account of not less than that amount set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter, which account shall be used to assist in

settling the Transactions and any other obligations under this Agreement. Buyer shall not be required to segregate and hold funds deposited by or on behalf of Seller in the Over/Under Account separate and apart from Buyer’s own funds or funds deposited by or held for others. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole and good faith discretion, to increase the minimum margin balance Seller is required to maintain in the Over/Under Account by giving notice to Seller thereof. If Seller fails to deposit funds in the Over/Under Account to comply with any such required increase within the time frame required by Buyer, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole and good faith discretion, to retain in the Over/Under Account any amounts received by Buyer on behalf of Seller or otherwise credited to the Over/Under Account to comply with any such required increases, including, without limitation, any purchase proceeds received by Buyer from any Approved Investor pursuant to Section 4.6. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to the increase of the minimum margin balance that Seller is required to maintain in the Over/Under Account or retention of excess funds by Buyer to comply with any such increase.

Deposits.

Seller. Seller shall deposit any required Margin in the form of funds in the Over/Under Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.4 and Section 3.5(a).

Buyer. Buyer shall credit to the Over/Under Account all amounts in excess of those amounts due to Buyer in accordance with the Principal Agreements on the date Buyer receives or has received both (1) a payment by Seller or an Approved Investor pursuant to a Purchase Commitment and (2) a Purchase Advice relating to such payment without discrepancy; provided, however, that funds and Purchase Advices received by Buyer after that time set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter, shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to notify Seller promptly if there is a discrepancy between a wire transfer and the related Purchase Advice, and thereafter, Seller shall notify Buyer as to whether Buyer should accept such settlement payment despite the discrepancy between the amount received and the related Purchase Advice; provided, however, that if an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer is not obligated to receive approval from Seller prior to accepting any amounts received and releasing the related Purchased Assets.

Settlement Statement. Buyer shall deliver to Seller via facsimile or make available to Seller via the Internet within one (1) Business Day following settlement of a Transaction, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, a settlement statement, which includes an explanation of all amounts credited by Buyer to the Over/Under Account to settle the Transaction.

Withdrawals.

Seller. If the amount credited to the Over/Under Account creates a balance in excess of the minimum margin balance required pursuant to Section 3.5(a) above, provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may submit a written request to Buyer for return or payment of such excess funds. If any such request is received by Buyer prior to 1:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on a Business Day, Buyer shall wire (without any wire transfer fee payable to Seller) such requested excess funds to Seller by the end of such Business Day and, if the

request is received by Buyer on or after 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time), no later than one (1) Business Day after Buyer’s receipt of such request. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.5(c)(i) to the contrary, Buyer reserves the right to reject any request for excess funds from the Over/Under Account if Buyer determines, in its sole and good faith discretion, that such excess funds shall be used to satisfy Seller’s outstanding obligations under this Agreement or are subject to other rights as provided in this Agreement.

Buyer. Buyer may, from time to time and without separate authorization by Seller or notice to Seller, withdraw funds from the Over/Under Account to settle amounts owed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or to otherwise satisfy Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation:

with respect to any Transaction, to deliver the Haircut to the Closing Agent;

to reimburse itself for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, as permitted herein;

to pay itself any price differential on a Purchase Price that is due and owing;

to Seller as provided in Section 3.5(c)(i);

as security for the performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder;

without limiting the generality of Section 3.5(c)(ii)(5), as security for a Transaction as provided in Section 6.3(a) or as repayment of a Repurchase Price as provided in Section 6.3(b); and

in the exercise of Buyer’s or its Affiliates rights under Section 6.3(d) or Section 11.8.

Failure to Maintain Balance. If, at any time, Seller fails to maintain in the Over/Under Account the minimum margin balance as required hereunder, in addition to any other rights and remedies that Buyer may have against Seller, Buyer shall have the right, at its sole and good faith discretion, to immediately stop entering into Transactions with Seller and/or to charge Seller accrued interest on that portion of the minimum margin balance that Seller has failed to maintain, at the Default Rate, from the time that such balance failed to be maintained until the time that funds are deposited into or held in the Over/Under Account to comply with such minimum margin balance requirements hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that should the balance in the Over/Under Account become negative, Seller will continue to owe Buyer accrued interest as provided herein.

Security Interest. Any funds of Seller at any time deposited or held in the Over/Under Account, whether such funds are required to be deposited and held in the Over/Under Account pursuant to this Section 3.5 or otherwise, are hereby pledged by Seller as security for its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller hereby grants a security interest in such funds to Buyer.

Return of Over/Under Account Upon Termination.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days after the effective termination date) wire Seller in immediately available funds (without any wire transfer fee payable by Seller) any remaining balance in the Over/Under Account, subject to the terms below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent there are bona fide Outstanding Obligations (as defined below) of Seller under this Agreement as of the date of termination, whether such obligations are disputed or undisputed by Seller, Buyer shall be entitled to retain in the Over/Under Account, and shall not be obligated to return to Seller, an amount equal to such Outstanding Obligations until such obligations are resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the parties. As such Outstanding Obligations are resolved, the amount of funds being held by the Buyer against such Outstanding Obligations shall be released and wired to Seller promptly in the manner described above (but in any event within two (2) Business Days thereafter).

To the extent the amount of such Outstanding Obligations exceeds the balance in the Over/Under Account, Buyer shall be entitled to retain the entire balance in the Over/Under Account, until such obligations are resolved, up to the amount of the Outstanding Obligations.

During the term of this Agreement (and, thereafter, for as long as Buyer claims there are Outstanding Obligations), Seller may request, and Buyer shall provide a full accounting from Buyer as to the amount, source, itemization and description of the Outstanding Obligations. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to provide such information within two (2) Business Days after receiving such a request.

For purposes of this Section 3.5(f), the term “Outstanding Obligations” means the debts or obligations due from Seller to Buyer under this Agreement (net of any payments, amounts or credits paid) or any other agreement(s) between Seller and Buyer or its Affiliates which are unsatisfied or outstanding as of the date of the termination or expiration of this Agreement including, without limitation, (1) Seller’s obligation under this Agreement to repurchase Purchased Mortgage Loans from Buyer with respect to such Mortgage Loans which have been purchased by Buyer from Seller pursuant to this Agreement, (2) unpaid costs and/or fees (including, but not limited to, unpaid Facility Fees and/or unpaid funding fees) due from Seller to Buyer under this Agreement, and/or (3) unpaid price differential. Further, Outstanding Obligations shall include those amounts which Buyer and/or its Affiliates claim a right of set-off against the funds in the Over/Under Account as provided in Section 11.8.

It is expressly understood that this Section 3.5(f) shall not otherwise impair any of the rights and obligations of Seller and Buyer in connection with debits, credits or withdrawals hereunder. All such rights and obligations shall remain in full force and effect, following termination or expiration, until Buyer returns the entire Over/Under Account balance.

Release of Security Interest. Upon the transfer of funds by Buyer to Seller in accordance with Section 3.5(c) or Section 3.5(f), the security interest granted by Seller to Buyer with respect to such funds shall be deemed to be automatically released without further action by any party.

Payment of Purchase Price.

Payment of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, including the servicing rights related thereto, shall be transferred to Buyer against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans relating to each Transaction. With respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans being sold by Seller on the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, including the servicing rights related thereto, together with all right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any related Purchased Assets.

Methods of Payment. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction:

Buyer may pay the Purchase Price (A) by wire transfer in accordance with Seller’s wire instructions in Exhibit J, (B) if Seller is approved to receive the Purchase Price via cashiers check and has requested to receive the Purchase Price via cashiers check, by cashiers check or (C) if Seller is approved to present funding drafts to Buyer and Seller has requested to receive the Purchase Price via funding draft, by funding draft, subject to the requirements of Section 3.8. Unless Seller is approved to receive the Purchase Price via cashiers check or funding draft and Seller has requested that payment be made using one of these methods for a particular Transaction, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price for all Transactions by wire transfer. Buyer shall have no obligation to pay the Purchase Price by cashiers check or funding draft unless and until Seller has requested to receive payment in such manner and Seller has otherwise complied with all applicable policies and procedures regarding such methods of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be obligated to pay the Purchase Price under any method of payment to any Closing Agent or warehouse lender that is not an Approved Payee. Further, the payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer to any Closing Agent or warehouse lender that is not an Approved Payee shall not make such Closing Agent or warehouse lender an Approved Payee. Any funds disbursed by Buyer to Seller or its Approved Payee shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, regulations and policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Reduction of Payments System Risk. Seller acknowledges that as a result of such applicable laws, regulations and policies, equipment malfunction, Buyer’s approval procedures or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Buyer, the payment of a Purchase Price using one or more of the methods described above may be delayed. Further, Seller acknowledges that a funding draft may not constitute “good funds” under certain state laws and funds will not be released to the payee until Buyer, in its sole and good faith discretion, has reviewed and accepted the funding draft following presentment of the draft to the payor bank. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to any such delays, or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a Purchased Mortgage Loan is the subject of third party financing, Buyer may pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price directly to the warehouse or other lender that has a security interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loan to satisfy the related indebtedness and obtain a release of such security interest.

Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price directly to Seller, or an Approved Payee as otherwise directed by Seller, subject to (A) an Event of Default not existing or occurring as a result thereof and (B) the continued effectiveness and no breach in that certain Protection Letter for Transfers to Corporate Account executed and delivered by Seller and Seller’s parent Pulte Homes, Inc., for the benefit of Buyer.

Transaction Limitations and Other Restrictions Relating to Closing Agents. Notwithstanding that a particular Transaction request will not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit or applicable Type Sublimit, if the payment of the Purchase Price for such Transaction to the related Closing Agent will violate Buyer’s applicable policies and procedures (as contained in the Handbook or otherwise) regarding payments to Closing Agents, Buyer may refuse to pay the Purchase Price to such Closing Agent.

Return of Purchase Price. If a Wet Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is not closed within two (2) Business Days following the payment of the Purchase Price, Seller shall immediately return, or cause to be immediately returned, the Purchase Price to Buyer. If the Purchase Price was paid by cashiers check or funding draft, Seller shall immediately void, or cause to be immediately voided (i.e. direct the Closing Agent to immediately void) the cashiers check or funding draft, as applicable. Further, Seller shall pay Buyer all fees and any price differential thereon immediately upon notification from Buyer; provided, however, that price differential shall continue to accrue until the Purchase Price is returned to Buyer or the voided cashiers check is received and cancelled by Buyer, as applicable. If a cashier’s check has been issued with respect to any Transaction, Buyer shall not be obligated to wire funds or issue another cashiers check to fund such Transaction until the original voided cashiers check has been received and cancelled by Buyer.

Approved Payees.

Closing Agents. In order for a Closing Agent to be designated an Approved Payee with respect to any Purchase Price, Seller shall submit to Buyer the following documents:

if the title company issuing the title policy that covers the applicable Purchased Mortgage Loan has not issued to Buyer a blanket Closing Protection Letter, which covers closings conducted by this Closing Agent in the jurisdiction where this closing will take place:

a valid blanket Closing Protection Letter, in a form acceptable to Buyer, issued to Seller or Buyer by the title company, which is issuing the title insurance policy that covers the related Purchased Mortgage Loan, that covers closings conducted by the Closing Agent in the jurisdiction where this closing will take place and if applicable, an assignment to Buyer of such Closing Protection Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

a valid Closing Protection Letter, in a form acceptable to Buyer, issued to Seller or Buyer by the title company, which is issuing the title insurance policy that covers the related Purchased Mortgage Loans, that covers the closing of this specific Purchased Mortgage Loan and if applicable, an assignment to Buyer of such Closing Protection Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

if Closing Protection Letters are not available or are limited in their applicability in the jurisdiction where the closing takes place, any other documents Buyer may reasonably require, including without limitation an assignment to Buyer of Seller’s rights under its fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; and

evidence that the Irrevocable Closing Instructions, in the applicable form and signed by Seller and Buyer, have been delivered to such Closing Agent.

Warehouse Lenders. In order for a warehouse lender to be designated an Approved Payee with respect to any Purchase Price, Seller shall submit to Buyer a written request, including the name and address of the warehouse lender, demonstrating a need for such designation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer reserves the right, in its sole and good faith discretion, to refuse to designate any warehouse lender as an Approved Payee, or, alternatively, to require additional terms and conditions in order for Buyer to pay a Purchase Price to the warehouse lender.

Approval Process. Buyer shall review the applicable documents and notify Seller within two (2) Business Days as to whether such Closing Agent or warehouse lender has been designated by Buyer, in its sole and good faith discretion, to be an Approved Payee with respect to such Purchase Price. Buyer may withdraw its approval of any Closing Agent or warehouse lender as an Approved Payee if Buyer becomes aware of any facts or circumstances at any time related to such Closing Agent or warehouse lender which Buyer determines, in its sole and good faith discretion, materially and adversely affects the Closing Agent or warehouse lender or otherwise makes the Closing Agent or warehouse lender unacceptable as an Approved Payee. The warehouse lenders and other institutions set forth on Exhibit M are approved by Buyer as Approved Payees without additional conditions.

Funding Drafts.

Blank Funding Drafts. If Seller is approved by Buyer to receive Purchase Prices by funding draft, Buyer, at its discretion, shall provide Seller with a limited number of blank drafts. Seller shall store such blank drafts in a secure location and employ sufficient security procedures to ensure that each funding draft issued by Seller is authorized, authentic and complete. As requested by Buyer, Seller shall submit to Buyer an accounting of all blank drafts provided to Seller, certified by Seller’s president or chief financial officer. Seller shall notify Buyer immediately if it discovers that any blank drafts are missing or otherwise not accounted for.

Completion of Funding Drafts. With respect to any Purchase Price to be paid by funding draft, Seller shall not complete a funding draft until after it has submitted an Asset Data Record for the related Transaction to Buyer that includes the number of the draft that is to be used for the Purchase Price. Seller is responsible for completing each funding draft clearly and accurately. Buyer shall not be obligated to accept any funding draft that contains incorrect information, is illegible or is not signed by at least two (2) authorized officers of Seller. If Seller makes an error in completing a funding draft, Seller shall void the draft and return the voided draft to Buyer with its accounting of blank drafts. Further, Seller shall notify Buyer immediately in order to confirm a new draft number with respect to the Purchase Price. Buyer shall not have an obligation to accept any funding draft if the draft number does not match that approved by Buyer in connection with a specific Transaction.

Acceptance of Funding Drafts. The payment of the Purchase Price by funding draft is subject to Buyer’s acceptance of the funding draft following presentment to the payor bank. Buyer will accept a funding draft upon confirmation of Seller’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, receipt by Buyer of the Asset Data Record prior to the date the funding draft was written, information contained on the funding draft is consistent with that previously provided to Buyer and the payee is an Approved Payee, as applicable. If Buyer rejects a funding draft for any reason, the Purchase Price for such Transaction may be paid by a new funding draft, provided all applicable procedures are followed, or by an alternate payment method.

Condition Precedent. As a condition precedent to Seller issuing a funding draft, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer:

a completed signature card, in form and substance satisfactory to the bank on which the funding drafts are drawn; and

a certificate of Seller’s secretary, dated as of the current date, as to the incumbency and authenticity of the signatures of the officers of Seller authorized to sign funding drafts and the resolutions of the board of managers authorizing such officers to sign funding drafts on behalf of Seller.

Repurchase Price.

Payment of Repurchase Price. The Repurchase Price for each Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be payable in full and by wire transfer in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions in Exhibit J upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Repurchase Date of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, (ii) the occurrence of any Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to such Transaction or (iii) the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan. While it is anticipated that Seller will repurchase each Purchased Mortgage Loan on its related Repurchase Date, Seller may repurchase any Purchased Mortgage Loan hereunder on demand by Seller without any pre-payment penalty or premium.

Effect of Payment of Repurchase Price. On the Repurchase Date (or such other date on which the Repurchase Price is paid by Seller), termination of the related Transaction will be effected by the repurchase by Seller or its designee of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer, or transfer of additional Mortgage Loan(s) (in each case as further described at Section 6.5), and all of Buyer’s rights, title and interests therein, including all related servicing rights, shall then be conveyed to Seller or its designee. Seller is obligated to obtain the Mortgage Loan Documents from Custodian at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date.

Repurchase Acceleration Events. The occurrence of any of the following events shall be a Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to a Transaction:

Buyer in its sole and good faith discretion has determined that the Purchased Mortgage Loan is a Defective Mortgage Loan;

forty-five (45) calendar days elapse from the date the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loan were delivered to an Approved Investor and such Approved Investor has not returned the Mortgage Loan Documents or purchased the Purchased Mortgage Loan, unless an extension is granted by Buyer, in its sole and good faith discretion;

twenty one (21) calendar days elapse from the date a Mortgage Loan Document relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loan was delivered to Seller for correction or completion, without being returned to Buyer or its designee;

Seller fails to deliver to Buyer the related Mortgage Loan Documents within the Wet Mortgage Loans Maximum Dwell Time or any Mortgage Loan Document delivered to Buyer, upon examination by Buyer, is found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment and is not corrected within the Wet Mortgage Loans Maximum Dwell Time;

Regardless of whether a Purchased Mortgage Loan is a Defective Mortgage Loan, a foreclosure or similar type of proceeding is initiated with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loan; or

the further sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller.

Reduction of Asset Value as Alternative Remedy. In Buyer’s sole and good faith discretion, in lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Buyer may elect to reduce the Asset Value of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan (to as low as zero) and accordingly require a full or partial repayment of such Repurchase Price or the delivery of other funds or collateral, which additional assets shall be “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as such terms are defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5) and (8), respectively.

Designation as Noncompliant Mortgage Loan as Alternative Remedy. In Buyer’s sole and good faith discretion, in lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Buyer may elect to deem the related Purchased Mortgage Loan a Noncompliant Mortgage Loan, provided that (a) after such Purchased Mortgage Loan is deemed to be a Noncompliant Mortgage Loan, the aggregate original Asset Value of all Noncompliant Mortgage Loans does not exceed the Type Sublimit for Noncompliant Mortgage Loans; (b) the Asset Value of the Noncompliant Mortgage Loan is greater than the Repurchase Price or Seller provides additional Purchased Assets or repays part of the Repurchase Price as provided in Section 6.3 in each case as a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5); and (c) Seller delivers to Buyer all documentation relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loan reasonably requested by Buyer.

Illegality or Impracticability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer determines in its sole and good faith discretion that any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or any circumstance materially and adversely affecting the London interbank market, the repurchase market for mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities or the source or cost of Buyer’s funds, shall make it unlawful or impractical for Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by this Agreement (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into or to continue to maintain Transactions shall be cancelled and (b) the Repurchase Price for each Transaction then outstanding shall be due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date required by any financial institution providing funds to Buyer, (ii) sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) the date as of which Buyer determines that such Transactions are unlawful or impractical. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating from any actions taken by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.5.

Payments Pursuant to Sale to Approved Investors. Seller shall direct each Approved Investor purchasing a Purchased Mortgage Loan to pay directly to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the full purchase price, without set-off, as set forth in the applicable Purchase Commitment. In addition, Seller shall provide Buyer with a Purchase Advice relating to such payment. Seller shall not direct the Approved Investor to pay to Buyer an amount less than the full purchase price set forth in the applicable Purchase Commitment or modify or otherwise change the wire instructions for payment of the purchase price provided to Approved Investor by Buyer. Buyer shall apply all amounts received for the account of Seller in accordance with Section 4.7 below and credit all amounts due Seller to the Over/Under Account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) above. Buyer may reject any amount received from an Approved Investor and not release the related Purchased Mortgage Loan

if (a) Buyer does not receive a Purchase Advice in respect of any wire transfer, (b) Buyer does not receive the full purchase price, without set-off, as set forth in the applicable Purchase Commitment or (c) the amount received is not sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price. Alternatively, in lieu of rejecting an amount received by Buyer from an Approved Investor, at Buyer’s sole option and discretion, if the amount received from the Approved Investor does not equal or exceed the Repurchase Price, Buyer may accept the amount received from the Approved Investor and deduct the remaining amounts owed by Seller from the Over/Under Account or demand payment of such remaining amount from Seller. If Seller receives any funds intended for Buyer, Seller shall segregate and hold such funds in trust for Buyer and immediately pay to Buyer all such amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds together with providing Buyer with a settlement statement for the transaction.

Application of Payments from Seller or Approved Investors. Unless Buyer determines otherwise in its sole and good faith discretion, payments made directly by Seller or an Approved Investor to Buyer shall be applied in the following order of priority:

first, in the exercise of Buyer’s rights under Section 6.3(d) or Buyer’ or its Affiliates’ rights under Section 11.8.

second, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Buyer under this Agreement that are not related to a specific Transaction;

third, to any amounts due and owing to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.3;

fourth, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Buyer under this Agreement that are related to the Transaction in connection with which the payment is made;

fifth, to the price differential due and owing on the Purchase Price in connection with which the payment is made;

sixth, to the price differentials on any Purchase Prices related to any other Transactions that are outstanding, due and owing, applied first to the Transaction with the earliest date;

seventh, to the amount of the Repurchase Price for the Transaction in connection with which the payment is made; and

eighth, to the amount of any Repurchase Prices related to any other Transactions that are outstanding, due and owing, applied first to the Transaction with the earliest date.

Method of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder must be received by Buyer on the date when due and shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account designated by Buyer from time to time. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and with respect to payments of the Purchase Price, the price differential thereon shall be payable at the Applicable Pricing Rate during such extension. All payments made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be applied to Seller’s account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) and Section 4.7 above and shall be made in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments after withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imports, duties or other similar charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority hereof, other than

franchise fees or any taxes on or measured by the net income of Buyer pursuant to the state, federal and local tax laws of the jurisdiction where Buyer’s principal office or offices or lending office or offices are located, compensate Buyer for any additional cost or reduced amount receivable of making or maintaining Transactions as a result of such taxes, imports, duties or other charges. All payments to be made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense.

Notification of Payment. Seller shall provide Buyer not less than one (1) Business Day prior written notice if Seller or an Approved Investor intends to remit a payment to Buyer after 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on any Business Day, that is equal to or greater than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000).

Authorization to Debit. In addition to any other authorizations to and rights of Buyer hereunder, Seller hereby expressly authorizes Buyer to debit any account maintained by Seller with any depository institution into which any funds related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or related Purchased Assets have been deposited, including without limitation, any operating, settlement or custodial account, for any and all amounts then due and payable to Buyer hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing debit rights of Buyer shall not apply to Purchased Mortgage Loans which have been repurchased by Seller pursuant to Section 6.5.

Book Account. Buyer and Seller shall maintain an account on their respective books of all Transactions entered into between Buyer and Seller and for which the Repurchase Price has not yet been paid. As a courtesy to Seller, Buyer shall provide such information to Seller via the Internet or by telephone or facsimile, if Seller is unable to access the information via the Internet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for maintaining its own book account and records of Transactions entered into with Buyer, amounts due to Buyer in connection with such Transactions and for paying such amounts when due. Failure of Buyer to provide Seller with information regarding any Transaction shall not excuse Seller’s timely performance of all obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment obligations under this Agreement.

Full Recourse. The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, Margin Deficit payments, settlement payments and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

Payment of Fees. Seller shall pay to Buyer those fees set forth in this Agreement or the Transactions Terms Letter when they become due and owing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the first quarterly installment of the initial Facility Fee shall be paid on or before the Effective Date and if this Agreement is renewed, thereafter on or before the anniversary of the Effective Date. Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw from the Over/Under Account or retain from payments made by Seller or an Approved Investor, subject to Section 4.6, any fees permitted under this Agreement that are due and owing. If such amounts on deposit in the Over/Under Account or payments received in connection with a Transaction are not sufficient to pay Buyer all fees owed, Buyer shall notify Seller and Seller shall pay to Buyer, within one (1) Business Day, all unpaid fees.

Precautionary Grant of Security Interest. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, and without prejudice to the provisions of Section 6.6 and the expressed intent of the parties, if any Transactions are deemed to be loans, as security for

the performance of all of Seller’s obligations hereunder, or if any determination is made that the servicing rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans were not sold by Seller to Buyer or that the servicing rights are not an interest in a Purchased Mortgage Loan and are severable from the Purchased Mortgage Loan despite Buyer’s and Seller’s express intent herein to treat them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, the servicing rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code. Possession of any promissory notes, instruments or documents by the Custodian shall constitute possession on behalf of Buyer. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Assets and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement in a manner consistent with this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement.

Servicing.

Servicing Rights Owned by Buyer; Buyer’s Right to Appoint Servicer. In recognition that each Purchased Mortgage Loan is sold by Seller to Buyer on a servicing released basis and Buyer is the owner of the servicing rights related to each Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall have the sole right to appoint the Servicer for each Purchased Mortgage Loan.

Appointment of Servicer. Buyer hereby appoints Seller to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer as agent for Buyer. The right of Seller to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans is on an interim basis only and does not provide or confer a contractual, ownership or other right for Seller to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans, it being understood that upon payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer owns the servicing rights and may assume servicing or appoint a Successor Servicer at any time as provided herein. Further, the fact that Seller may be entitled to a servicing fee for subservicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Seller regarding the subservicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall not affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of the servicing rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

Interim Subservicing Period; No Servicing Fee or Income. Seller’s right to interim subservice a Purchased Mortgage Loan shall commence on the related Purchase Date and shall automatically terminate without notice on the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after the related Purchase Date or (ii) the actual date Seller repurchases the Purchased Mortgage Loan from Buyer; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not cured within any applicable cure period, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate Seller as the Sevicer and appoint a Successor Servicer as contemplated in Section 6.2(h). If the interim subservicing period expires with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing the Purchased Mortgage Loan, then upon mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller, Seller shall continue to interim subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loan for a thirty (30) day extension period. Such extension period shall automatically expire without notice unless Buyer and Seller mutually agree in writing to one or more additional thirty (30) day extension

period(s), provided, however, that absent mutual written agreement to extend, or continue to extend, the interim subservicing period, Seller shall transfer servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the interim subservicing period (including the expiration of any extension period) with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall have no right to subservice the related Purchased Mortgage Loan nor shall Buyer have any obligation to extend the interim subservicing period (or continue to extend the interim subservicing period), it being understood that upon such expiration, Seller shall promptly transfer the servicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. Buyer shall have no obligation to pay Seller nor shall Seller have any right to deduct or retain, any subservicing fee or similar compensation in connection with the interim servicing of a Purchased Mortgage Loan.

Servicing Agreement. If the Servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans is not Seller, Seller shall enter into a Servicing Agreement with the Servicer on behalf of Buyer, which such Servicing Agreement shall be on terms agreed to by Buyer, and which shall include, at a minimum, (i) a recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interests and rights to the Purchased Mortgage Loans as provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Buyer’s ownership of the servicing rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans; (ii) an obligation for the Servicer to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that the Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it but in no event no less than in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; (iii) an obligation to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations; (iv) an obligation to maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its subservicing responsibilities; (v) an obligation not to impair the rights of Buyer in any Purchased Mortgage Loans or any payment thereto and (vi) an obligation to collect all sums payable in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer, in trust, in segregated custodial accounts. Further, such Servicing Agreement shall contain express reporting requirements and other rights to allow Buyer to inspect the records of the Servicer with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Buyer may terminate the subservicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loan with the then existing Servicer in accordance with either Section 6.2(f) or Section 6.2(m).

Servicing Obligations of Seller. To the extent Seller shall subservice any Purchased Mortgage Loan on behalf of Buyer, Seller shall:

Subservice and administer the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with the degree of care and servicing standards generally prevailing in the industry, including all applicable requirements of any Agency, and the requirements of any applicable Purchase Commitment and the Approved Investor, so that the eligibility of the Purchased Mortgage Loan for purchase under such Purchase Commitment is not voided or reduced by such servicing and administration;

Subject to Subsection 6.2(f), and to the extent not otherwise held by the Custodian, Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard the Mortgage Loan File for the Purchased Mortgage Loan, and in any event shall maintain and safeguard photocopies of the documents delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 3.3, and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller’s possession of such Mortgage Loan File is for the sole purpose of subservicing such Purchased Mortgage Loan and such retention and possession by Seller is in a custodial capacity only;

Buyer may, at any time during Seller’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such documents and records, or require delivery of the originals of such documents and records to Buyer or its designee;

At Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being subserviced by it, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than thirty (30) days or such other circumstances that would reasonably be expected to cause a Material and Adverse Change on such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s title to such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller is required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller; and

Seller shall promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day) notify Buyer if Seller becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under a Purchased Mortgage Loan.

Sale or Transfer of Servicing Rights by Buyer. Buyer may sell or transfer any rights to service a Purchased Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of Seller or any Servicer, subject to Buyer’s obligation to repurchase such servicing prior to the repurchase of such Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller and subject to Seller’s right to interim subservice such Purchased Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 6.2(c).

Release of Mortgage Loan Files. Seller shall release its custody of the contents of any Mortgage Loan File only in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, except when such release is required as incidental to Seller’s subservicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, is required to complete the Purchase Commitment, or as required by law.

Right to Appoint Successor Servicer. Upon either (i) the expiration of the interim subservicing period for any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing the Purchased Mortgage Loan or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not cured within any applicable cure period, Buyer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to appoint a successor servicer to subservice any Purchased Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”). In the event of such an appointment, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Mortgage Loan File and related servicing records held by Seller or the Servicer, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer. Seller shall have no claim for servicing Fees, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder.

Custodial Account.

Seller shall establish and maintain a segregated time or demand deposit account for the benefit of Buyer (each, a “Custodial Account”) with an Eligible Bank and shall promptly deposit into the Custodial Account all interest and/or principal payments received with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan sold hereunder (but not any interest accrued on such Mortgage Loan up to but not including the Purchase Date for such Purchased Mortgage Loan), and all other receipts in respect of each Purchased Mortgage Loan sold hereunder that are payable for the benefit of the owner of such loan (including, without limitation, all escrow withholds and escrow payments for Property Charges). Seller may not use a deposit account at an Eligible Bank established to serve as a custodial account for mortgage loans that Seller services for other parties. Under no

circumstances shall Seller deposit any of its own funds into a Custodial Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to Buyer as owner of any Purchased Mortgage Loan; provided, however, if the payment received by Buyer from an Approved Investor with respect to any particular Repurchased Mortgage Loan is net of escrows, the funds in the Custodial Account related to such Repurchased Mortgage Loan shall thereafter be the exclusive property of and belong to Seller, Seller shall be entitled to withdraw and deduct said amount from the Custodial Account, and such funds shall not be deemed commingled funds or Custodial Account funds. If Seller fails to segregate any funds and commingles them with any source in breach of this Agreement, Seller agrees that its share of the commingled funds are assumed to have been spent first with any remaining balance to be deemed to belong to Buyer.

Seller hereby grants to Buyer a continuing first-priority security interest in all right, title, and interest in and to the Custodial Account. Seller shall, upon Buyer’s request, take such steps requested by Buyer to perfect Buyer’s security interest in the Custodial Account, and either (A) cause the Eligible Bank to agree to comply at any time with instructions from Buyer to such Eligible Bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such Custodial Account, without further consent of Seller or any other Person, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer or (B) arrange for Buyer to become the customer of the Eligible Bank with respect to the Custodial Account, with Seller being permitted, only with the consent of Buyer, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such Custodial Account (together, the “Control Agreement”).

Any interest and/or principal payments, and other amounts received with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder (but not any interest accrued on such Purchased Mortgage Loan up to but not including the Purchase Date for such Purchased Mortgage Loan), shall be segregated as described above and held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer as the owner of such Purchased Mortgage Loan and shall be released only as follows:

after the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan has been paid in full to Buyer, all amounts previously deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loan and then in the Custodial Account shall be released by Buyer to Seller or transferred to the Approved Investor or its designee if authorized by Seller;

if a Successor Servicer is appointed by Buyer, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans to be so subserviced shall be transferred into an account established by the Successor Servicer pursuant to its agreement with Buyer; and

upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Seller shall forever remit all funds then held in the Custodial Account with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans to or at the direction of Buyer, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Location of Custodial Account. Seller shall not change the identity or location of a Custodial Account without thirty (30) days prior notice to Buyer. Seller shall from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute such directions to the depository Eligible Bank, and other papers, documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to reflect Buyer’s ownership interest in each Custodial Account.

Accounting of Custodial Account. If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of each deposit in the Custodial Account, and each withdrawal from the Custodial Account, made by it with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to the Custodial Account as Buyer may from time to time request.

Servicer Notice. Seller shall provide promptly to Buyer (i) a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer, advising the Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loans and ownership of the servicing rights related thereto and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the subservicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

Notification of Servicer Defaults. If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such Purchased Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

Termination. Upon either (i) the expiration of the interim subservicing period for any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing the Purchased Mortgage Loan or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not cured within any applicable cure period, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Seller’s or the Servicer’s right, as applicable, to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller shall cooperate, or cause the Servicer to cooperate, in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor subservicer appointed by Buyer in its sole and good faith discretion.

Buyer’s Right to Service. Upon either (i) the expiration of the interim subservicing period for any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing the Purchased Mortgage Loan or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not cured within any applicable cure period, Buyer or its designee, at the Buyer’s sole discretion, shall be entitled to service some or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, receiving and collecting all sums payable in respect of same. Upon Buyer’s determination and written notice to Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, that Buyer desires to service some or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly cooperate, or shall cause the Servicer to promptly cooperate, with all instructions of Buyer and do or accomplish all acts or things necessary to effect the transfer of the servicing to Buyer or its designee, at Seller’s sole expense. Upon Buyer’s or its designee’s servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, (i) Buyer may, in its own name or in the name of Seller or otherwise, demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s), but shall be under no obligation to do so; (ii) Seller shall, if Buyer so requests, pay to Buyer all amounts received by Seller upon or in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s) or other Purchased Assets (but not any interest accrued on such Purchased Mortgage Loan(s) up to, but not including, the Purchase Date for such Purchased Mortgage Loan(s)), advising Buyer as to the source of such funds; and (iii) all amounts so received and collected by Buyer shall be held by it as part of the Purchased Assets or applied against any outstanding Repurchase Price owed Buyer.

Margin Account Maintenance.

Asset Value. Buyer shall have the right to determine the Asset Value of each Purchased Mortgage Loan on a daily basis.

Margin Deficit and Margin Call. If Buyer shall determine at any time that (A) the Asset Value of a Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is less than the related Repurchase Price or (B) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Mortgage Loans for all such Transactions is less than the aggregate Repurchase Price (in either case, a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may, at its sole option and by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to either:

transfer to Buyer or its designee cash or eligible Mortgage Loans approved by Buyer in its sole and good faith discretion (“Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans”) so that the individual Asset Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loan or the aggregate Asset Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, including any such cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans, will thereupon equal or exceed the individual Repurchase Price for the Transaction or the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Transactions; or

pay one or more Repurchase Prices in an amount sufficient to reduce the outstanding Repurchase Prices in an amount equal to or below the Asset Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s).

Buyer’s Discretion. Buyer’s election not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

Over/Under Account. Buyer may, in its sole and good faith discretion, withdraw from the Over/Under Account amounts equal to any Margin Deficit which is not otherwise satisfied by Seller within the time frames provided in this Section 6.3.

Credit to Repurchase Price. Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transaction(s).

Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents.

Custodial Arrangements. The initial Custodian shall be the Person set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter. Thereafter, if the initial Custodian is removed for any reason, Buyer may appoint, subject to the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as there then exists no Event of Default, any Person to act as the Custodian to hold possession of the Mortgage Loan Documents (or a portion thereof) and to take actions at the direction of Buyer. Seller hereby agrees to deliver the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian upon the direction of Buyer. Seller further agrees that (i) the Custodian shall be exclusively the agent, bailee and/or custodian of Buyer; (ii) receipt of the Mortgage Loan Documents by the Custodian shall be constructive receipt by Buyer of the Mortgage Loan Documents; (iii) Seller shall not have and shall not attempt to exercise any degree of control over the Custodian or any Mortgage Loan Document held by the Custodian; and (iv) Buyer shall not be liable for any act or omission by the Custodian selected by Buyer with reasonable care.

Temporary Withdrawal of Mortgage Loan Documents for Correction. Provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall permit Seller to withdraw, for a period not to exceed twenty-one (21) calendar days, specified Mortgage Loan Documents for the purpose of correcting or completing such documents; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in writing, in no event shall the outstanding balance of the Transactions related to such Mortgage Loan Documents exceed five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Transaction Limit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(b), and the interest of Buyer in the related Purchased Mortgage Loan shall continued unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or the proceeds thereof are received by, Buyer.

Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents to Approved Investors. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the written request of Seller, Buyer shall deliver to an Approved Investor set forth in the related Purchase Commitment, or its custodian, the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to a specified Purchased Mortgage Loan. All such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Documents shall at all times be covered by one or more Bailee Agreements, and Buyer or its designee will not release Mortgage Loan Documents to an Approved Investor unless Buyer or its Custodian has received a signed Bailee Agreement from the Approved Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(c), and the interest of Buyer in the related Purchased Mortgage Loan shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or proceeds thereof are received by, Buyer. If the Approved Investor does not purchase a Purchased Mortgage Loan as contemplated by the related Purchase Commitment, Seller shall, upon the request of Buyer, assist Buyer in the recovery of any Mortgage Loan Documents not returned by the Approved Investor to Buyer.

Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents Relating to Mortgage-Backed Securities. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the written request of Seller, Buyer shall deliver to the certifying custodian the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to those Purchased Mortgage Loans that will be pooled to support a Mortgage-Backed Security. Buyer’s obligation to deliver the Mortgage Loan Documents to a certifying custodian shall be contingent upon Buyer determining that its title, rights and interests in the related Purchased Mortgage Loans will be adequately protected and secured in connection with the pooling process, including, without limitation, the execution by the certifying custodian of a tri-party custodial agreement in a form acceptable to Buyer and the execution of one or more account control agreements with the broker-dealer and/or issuer, as may be applicable. Buyer and its designee shall have no obligation to release any Mortgage Loan Documents to any certifying custodian if Buyer determines that its title, rights and interests in the related Purchased Mortgage Loans will not be adequately protected and secured in connection with the pooling process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.4(d), and the interest of Buyer in the related Purchased Mortgage Loan shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are returned to, or proceeds thereof are received by, Buyer. Seller shall pay for all costs of the certifying custodian and use its best efforts to ensure that the issuer delivers the Mortgage-Backed Securities to the certifying custodian.

Release of Mortgage Loan Documents. Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may repurchase a Purchased Mortgage Loan by either:

paying, or causing an Approved Investor to pay, to Buyer, subject to Sections 4.6 and 4.7 above, the Repurchase Price; or

transferring to Buyer additional Mortgage Loan(s) satisfactory to Buyer and/or cash, in aggregate amounts sufficient to cover the amount by which the aggregate amount of Transactions then outstanding hereunder (plus accrued interest and accrued fees with respect thereto) exceeds the Asset Value of the existing Purchased Mortgage Loan(s), excluding the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s) to be released.

True Sales; Repurchase Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and Seller confirm that the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement are intended to be true sales and absolute assignments of the Purchased Mortgage Loans by Seller to Buyer, and not borrowings secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Title to all Purchased Mortgage Loans and related Purchased Assets shall pass to Buyer upon payment of the Purchase Price. Accordingly, beginning on the Purchase Date and prior to the Repurchase Date, Buyer may in its sole discretion and without notice to Seller engage in repurchase transactions with respect to any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or convey any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans (such transactions, “Repurchase Transactions”), provided, however, that to the extent Buyer engages in any Repurchase Transactions, it shall have reacquired title to the Purchased Mortgage Loans prior to the Repurchase Date. Seller shall not be responsible for any additional obligations, costs or fees in connection with such Repurchase Transactions. Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with Buyer’s ownership of a Purchased Mortgage Loan and shall not claim any legal, beneficial or other interest in such a Purchased Mortgage Loan other than the limited right and obligations to provide servicing of such Purchased Mortgage Loans where Buyer designates Seller as servicer as provided in Section 6.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, neither Seller nor Bank of America makes any covenants, representations and warranties, whether express or implied, that the anticipated Transactions hereunder will be a purchase and sale and not a financing and it shall be the sole responsibility of Seller and Bank of America to determine for their respective purposes whether the Transactions hereunder will be treated as purchase and sale transactions and not financing transactions. Further, in no event shall Seller or Bank of America be liable to the other or any third party as a result of any Transaction hereunder being deemed a financing transaction.

If Seller fails to provide Buyer with any required Intercreditor Agreement within the time frame stated herein, Buyer may, in its sole and good faith discretion, determine that such failure adversely affects the creditworthiness of Seller and may modify the terms and conditions under which it will continue to enter into Transactions with Seller.

Any waiver or modification asserted by Seller to have been agreed by Buyer must be in writing.

Accordingly, Seller shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien upon the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Purchased Assets, other than as granted to Buyer herein. Further, Seller shall not, or create, incur, assume or suffer any lien upon any of its other property and assets without the prior written consent of Buyer if such action will cause a Potential Default or an Event of Default or, except with respect to liens arising out of any then existing mortgage warehouse or repurchase facility, if a Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is existing.

the failure of Seller to cure, within five (5) days upon discovery by Seller or notice by Buyer of a breach of any of Seller’s or Servicer’s subservicing obligations, including, but not limited to, its failure to deposit any funds required to be deposited under Section 6.2(g) into the Custodial Account,; or

if Seller is a member of MERS, Seller’s membership in MERS is terminated for any reason.

Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, by notice to Seller, declare all or any portion of the Repurchase Prices related to the outstanding Transactions to be immediately due and payable whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable, and the obligation of Buyer to enter into Transactions shall thereupon terminate. Further, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller shall strictly comply with the negative covenants contained in Article 10 hereunder and in no event shall Seller declare and pay any dividends or otherwise distribute or transfer any of Seller’s property and assets to any Person (except with respect to the payment of Debt permitted under Section 10.2) without the prior written consent of Buyer. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Buyer may also:

enter the office(s) of Seller and take possession of any of the Purchased Assets including any records that pertain to the Purchased Assets;

communicate with and notify Mortgagors of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and obligors under other Purchased Assets or on any portion thereof, whether such communications and notifications are in verbal, written or electronic form, including, without limitation, communications and notifications that the Purchased Assets have been assigned to Buyer and that all payments thereon are to be made directly to Buyer or its designee; settle compromise, or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Purchased Mortgage Loans or other Purchased Assets or any portion of the Purchased Assets, on terms acceptable to Buyer; enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to any and all Purchased Assets; and where any Purchased Mortgage Loans or other Purchased Assets is in default, foreclose upon and enforce security interests in, such Purchased Assets by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process and sell property acquired as a result of any such foreclosure;

collect payments from Mortgagors and/or assume servicing of, or contract with a third party to subservice, any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans requiring servicing and/or perform any obligations required in connection with Purchase Commitments, such third party’s fees to be paid by Seller. In connection with collecting payments from Mortgagors and/or assuming servicing of any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may take possession of and open any mail addressed to Seller, remove, collect and apply all payments for Seller, sign Seller’s name to any receipts, checks, notes, agreements or other instruments or letters or appoint an agent to exercise and perform any of these rights. If Buyer so requests, Seller

shall promptly forward to Buyer or its designee, all further mail and all “trailing” documents, such as title insurance policies, deeds of trust, and other documents, and all loan payment histories, both in paper and electronic format, in each case, as same relate to the Purchased Mortgage Loans;

proceed against Seller under this Agreement or against any Guarantor(s) under their respective Guaranty, or both; and/or

pursue any rights and/or remedies available at law or in equity against Seller or any Guarantor(s), or both.

Treatment of Custodial Account. During the existence of an Event of Default, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller shall have no right to withdraw or release any funds in the Custodial Account to itself or for its benefit, nor shall it have any right to set-off any amount owed to it by Buyer against funds held by it for Buyer in the Custodial Account. During the existence of an Event of Default, Seller shall promptly remit to or at the direction of Buyer all funds related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans in the Custodial Account.

Sale of Purchased Assets. During the existence of an Event of Default, Buyer may securitize or otherwise sell the Purchased Assets with no obligation to reacquire title as provided in Section 6.6 and Buyer shall incur no liability as a result of such transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may sell the Purchased Assets as part of a pool comprised of, all or part of, the Purchased Assets and other mortgage loans owned by Buyer; in such instance, the value of the Purchased Assets shall be determined on a pro rata basis. Seller hereby waives any claims it may have against Buyer arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Purchased Assets may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate Repurchase Price amount of the outstanding Transactions, even if Buyer accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Purchased Assets, or any part thereof, to more than one offeree.

No Obligation to Pursue Remedy. Seller waives any right to require Buyer to (a) proceed against any Person, (b) proceed against or exhaust all or any of the Purchased Assets or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Purchased Assets in any particular order, or (c) pursue any other remedy in its power. Buyer shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of Seller against holders of mortgages prior in lien to the lien of any Purchased Mortgage Loan included in the Purchased Assets or to preserve rights against prior parties; provided that Buyer acts in good faith and not in a manner which is reckless or involves willful misconduct. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses. Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Purchased Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Buyer in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time of payment until repaid, shall become a part of the Repurchase Price unless recovered from the applicable mortgagor.

Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale or other enforcement of Buyer’s interest in all or any part of the Purchased Assets shall be applied by Buyer:

first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Buyer in connection therewith;

second, to the payment of any other amounts due under this Agreement other than the aggregate Repurchase Price;

third, to the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price;

fourth, to the payment to Seller, or to its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds. If the proceeds of any such sale are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such sale, as aforesaid, and the payment in full of the aggregate Repurchase Price and all other amounts due hereunder, Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency.

Rights of Set-Off. Buyer shall have the following rights of set-off:

If Seller shall default in the payment or performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right, at any time, and from time to time, without notice, to set-off claims and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Buyer to or for the credit of the account of Seller against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Seller under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations and liabilities shall have become due; 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by Buyer with respect to any Transaction against obligations and liabilities owed by Seller to Buyer with respect to any other Transaction.

In addition to the rights in subsection (a), Buyer and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, Balboa Insurance Group, Inc., Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., Countrywide Securities Corporation and LandSafe, Inc. (collectively, “Bank of America Related Entities”), shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as provided under Section 3.5(f), have the right to set-off and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Bank of America Related Entity to or for the credit of the account of Seller and its Affiliates against and on account of the obligations of Seller under any agreement(s) between Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Bank of America Related Entity, on the other hand, irrespective of whether or not the Bank of America Related Entity shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations shall have matured. In exercising the foregoing right to set-off, any Bank of America Related Entity shall be entitled, subject to Section 3.5 (f), to withdraw funds in the Over/Under Account which are being held for or owing to Seller to set-off against any amounts due and owing by Seller to the Bank of America Related Entity. If a Bank of America Related Entity other than Buyer intends to exercise its right to set-off in this subsection (b), such Bank of America Related Entity shall provide Seller prior notice thereof, and upon Seller’s receipt of such notice, if the basis for such right to set-off is Seller’s breach or default of its obligations to the Bank of America Related Entity, Seller shall have three (3) Business Days to cure any such breach or default in order to avoid such set-off.

Reasonable Assurances. If, at any time during the term of the Agreement, Buyer has reason to believe that Seller is not conducting its business in accordance with, or otherwise is not satisfying: (i) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules, and notices of federal, state, or local governmental agencies or instrumentalities, all applicable requirements of Approved Investors and Insurers and prudent industry standards or (ii) all applicable requirements of Buyer, as set forth in this Agreement, then, Buyer shall have the right to demand, pursuant to notice from Buyer to Seller specifying with particularity the alleged act, error or omission in question, reasonable assurances from Seller that such a belief is in fact unfounded, and any failure of Seller to provide to Buyer such reasonable assurances in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, within the time frame specified in such notice, shall itself constitute an Event of Default hereunder, without a further cure period. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to confirm the continued eligibility of Seller for Transactions hereunder, including without limitation (i) ordering credit reports and (ii) contacting Mortgagors, licensing authorities and Approved Investors or Insurers.

Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents in any way relating to or arising out of the Principal Agreements or any other document referred to therein or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, except to the extent such liabilities, losses and damages result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer and its Affiliates.

Payment of Taxes. Seller shall pay and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, documentary and other similar taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Principal Agreements and other documents related thereto and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

Term. Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, and except as otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the Expiration Date set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter. Following expiration or termination of this Agreement, all indebtedness due Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Seller and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Seller in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.

Termination.

Upon Occurrence of Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, at its sole option and absolute discretion, and in addition to any other rights and remedies afforded Buyer, terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Seller, in which case, all indebtedness due Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable. Alternatively, at the sole option and absolute discretion of Buyer, in lieu of terminating this Agreement upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may agree to allow Seller a wind up period (to be determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion) in which Buyer shall

continue to engage in Transactions with Seller and in which Seller shall permitted to pay the Repurchase Price for any pending Transactions. The terms and conditions of this wind up period, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions for the repayment of the Repurchase Prices for pending Transactions, shall be subject to the sole and absolute discretion of Buyer.

Upon Termination of EPP Addendum. If the EPP Addendum is terminated for any reason, unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in writing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate as of the same date of the EPP Addendum, regardless of whether Seller is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at the time of such termination.

Upon Other Circumstances. In addition to the foregoing termination rights, Buyer may immediately terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Seller if (i) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute to not constitute a “repurchase agreement,” a “securities contract,” or a “master netting agreement,” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) payments or security offered hereunder are deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute “settlement payments” or “margin payments” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute an agreement to provide financial accommodations as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 365(c)(1), or (iv) Buyer determines that there has been fraud, misrepresentation or any similar intentional conduct on behalf of Seller, its officers, directors, employees, agents and/or its representatives with respect to any of Seller’s obligations, responsibilities or actions undertaken in connection with this Agreement.

Obligations Upon Termination or Expiration. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Seller acknowledges and understands that Buyer is under no obligation whatsoever to renew or continue the term of this Agreement for any period of time. Further, all outstanding amounts due to Buyer under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Seller and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Seller in default, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller. Further, any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the outstanding obligations of Seller under this Agreement and all such outstanding obligations and the rights and remedies afforded Buyer in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those rights and remedies afforded Buyer under this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, loss or damages arising from or relating to a termination by Buyer in accordance with any subsection of this Section 13.2.

Extension of Term. Upon mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer, the term of this Agreement may be extended. Such extension may be made subject to the terms and conditions hereunder and to any other terms and conditions as the parties mutually deem necessary or advisable. Under no circumstances shall such an extension by Buyer be interpreted or construed as a forfeiture by Buyer of any of its rights, entitlements or interest created hereunder. Seller acknowledges and understands that Buyer is under no obligation whatsoever to extend the term of this Agreement beyond the initial term.

Integration; Servicing Provisions Integral and Non-Severable. This Agreement, together with the other Principal Agreements, and all other documents executed pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which such

communications are merged herein. All Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement related to the servicing and servicing rights of the Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions hereunder are integral, interrelated, and are non-severable from the purchase and sale provisions of this Agreement. Buyer has relied upon such provisions as being integral and non-severable in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and in determining the Purchase Price methodology for the Mortgage Loans. The integration of these servicing provisions is necessary to enable Buyer to obtain the maximum value from the sale of the Mortgage Loans by having the ability to sell the servicing rights related to the Mortgage Loans free from any claims or encumbrances. Further, the fact that Seller or the Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or that Buyer may provide a separate notice of default to Seller or the Servicer regarding the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall not affect or otherwise change the intent of Seller and Buyer regarding the integral and non-severable nature of the provisions in this Agreement related to servicing and servicing rights nor will such facts affect or otherwise change Buyer’s ownership of the servicing rights related to the Mortgage Loans.

Amendments. No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is sought.

No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Seller or Buyer in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between Seller and Buyer shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Seller or Buyer would otherwise have. No notice or demand on Seller in any case shall entitle Seller to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Buyer to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Assignment. The Principal Agreements may not be assigned by Seller. The Principal Agreements, along with Buyer’s right, title and interest, including its security interest, in any or all of the Purchased Assets, may, at any time, be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by Buyer to any Affiliate or, with the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as an Event of Default does not then exist, to any other Person, and upon providing notice to Seller of such transfer or assignment (which, if applicable, has been consented to by Seller), any transferee or assignee thereof may enforce the Principal Agreements and such security interest directly against Seller.

Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Participations. Buyer may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in this Agreement, and the holder of any such participation, if the participation agreement so provides, (i) shall, with respect to its participation, be entitled to all of the rights of Buyer and (ii) may exercise any and all rights of set-off or banker’s lien with respect thereto, in each case as fully as though Seller were directly obligated to the holder of such participation in the amount of such participation; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to send or deliver to any of the participants other than Buyer any of the materials or notices required to be sent or delivered by it under the terms of this Agreement, nor shall it have to act except in compliance with the instructions of Buyer.

Invalidity. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.

Additional Instruments. Seller shall execute and deliver such further instruments and shall do and perform all matters and things necessary or expedient to be done or observed for the purpose of effectively creating, maintaining and preserving the security and benefits intended to be afforded by this Agreement.

Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of Seller shall survive any Transaction and shall be effective so long as this Agreement is in effect or there remains any obligation of Seller hereunder to be performed.

Notices.

All notices, demands, consents, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder in writing shall be mailed (first class, return receipt requested and postage prepaid) or delivered in person or by overnight delivery service or by facsimile, addressed to the respective parties hereto at their respective addresses set forth below or, as to any such party, at such other address as may be designated by it in a notice to the other:

Personal Identification Number. Seller shall adopt a Personal Identification Number or PIN to be entered into the computer system in connection with all documents transmitted from Seller to Buyer electronically. Further, any document required to be signed by Seller may be signed by handwritten signature or transmitted electronically in

conjunction with the PIN, except any written notification designating or changing the PIN and those documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above, which must be signed by hand. Seller shall provide Buyer with written notification of its PIN and any changes thereto; provided, however, that any change to the PIN may not become effective for twenty four (24) hours following Buyer’s confirmation of receipt of such notice by Seller. Seller and Buyer agree that transmitting a document in conjunction with the PIN shall have the same force and effect as a handwritten signature and shall be sufficient to verify that Seller originated such document. Seller shall employ security procedures to ensure that all transmissions of documents accompanied by the PIN are authorized, authentic, reliable and complete and shall promptly notify Buyer if Seller discovers the PIN has been improperly disclosed to any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other breach of security, Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon the PIN of Seller until such time as (a) Seller provides Buyer with written instructions to the contrary and (b) Buyer has sufficient time to notify the appropriate employees and modify its computerized systems.

Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under the Principal Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. All legal actions between or among the parties regarding this Agreement, including, without limitation, legal actions to enforce this Agreement or because of a dispute, breach or default of this Agreement, shall be brought in the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles County, California, which courts shall have sole and exclusive in personam, subject matter and other jurisdiction in connection with such legal actions and the parties acknowledged and agree that venue in such courts shall be convenient and appropriate for all purposes.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any provisions hereof.

Joint and Several Liability of Each Seller. To the extent there is more than one Person which is named as a Seller under this Agreement, each such Person shall be jointly and severally liable for the rights, covenants, obligations and warranties and representations of “Seller” as contained herein and the actions of any Person (including another Seller) or third party shall in no way affect such joint and several liability.

Confidential Information. To effectuate this Agreement, Buyer and Seller may disclose to each other certain confidential information relating to the parties’ operations, computer systems, technical data, business methods, and other information designated by the disclosing party or its agent to be confidential, or that should be considered confidential in nature by a reasonable person given the nature of the information and the circumstances of its disclosure (collectively the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information can consist of information that is either oral or written or both, and may include, without limitation, any of the following: (i) any reports, information or material concerning or pertaining to businesses, methods, plans, finances, accounting statements, and/or projects of either party or their affiliated or related entities; (ii) any of the foregoing related to the parties or their related or affiliated entities and/or their present or future activities and/or (iii) any term or condition of any agreement (including this Agreement) between either party and any individual or entity relating to any of their business operations. With respect to Confidential Information, the parties hereby agree:

not to use the Confidential Information except in furtherance of this Agreement;

to use reasonable efforts to safeguard the Confidential Information against disclosure to any unauthorized third party with the same degree of care as they exercise with their own information of similar nature; and

not to disclose Confidential Information to anyone other than employees, agents, advisors, or contractors with a need to have access to the Confidential Information and who are bound to the parties by like obligations of confidentiality, except that the parties shall not be prevented from using or disclosing any of the Confidential Information which: (i) is already known to the receiving party at the time it is obtained from the disclosing party; (ii) is now, or becomes in the future, public knowledge other than through wrongful acts or omissions of the party receiving the Confidential Information; (iii) is lawfully obtained by the party from sources independent of the party disclosing the Confidential Information and without confidentiality and/or non-use restrictions; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without any use of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer may share any Confidential Information of Seller with an Affiliate of Buyer for any valid business purpose, such as, but not limited to, to assist an Affiliate in evaluating a current or potential business relationship with Seller as long as the Affiliate is advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the obligations under this Section to treats and safeguard it as such. The Buyer shall be responsible for any breaches by its Affiliates of the requirements of this Section with respect to any Confidential Information of Seller.

Intent. Seller and Buyer recognize and intend that:

this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder constitutes a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a);

Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies herein is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to: (i) satisfy a Margin Deficit, (ii) comply with a Margin Call, or (iii) satisfy the provision of Guarantees an/or additional security agreements to provide enhancements to satisfy a deficiency in the Over/Under Account, shall in each case be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5); and

any payments or transfers of property by Seller (i) on account of a Haircut, (ii) in partial or full satisfaction of a repurchase obligation, or (iii) fees and costs under this Agreement or under any Transaction shall in each case constitute “settlement payments” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(8).

Right to Liquidate. It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to terminate or accelerate obligations under this Agreement or any individual Transaction, are contractual rights for same as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Insured Depository Institution. If a party hereto is an “insured depository institution” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (as amended, the “FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable.

Netting Contract. This Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to the FDICIA except insofar as one or more of the parties hereto is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in the FDICIA.

Reimbursement of Expenses. If any claim, legal action or any arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement or because of a dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs in that claim, action, arbitration or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

Examination and Oversight by Regulators. Seller agrees that the transactions with Buyer under this Agreement may be subject to regulatory examination and oversight, including, without limitation, examination and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) or any successor agency to the OTS. Seller shall comply with all regulatory requirements of Buyer and Seller shall grant regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to, the OTS (or any successor agency to the OTS), the right to audit the books and records of Seller in order to monitor or verify Seller’s performance under and compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
