Each Transaction Notice shall include a Loan Schedule. Buyer will confirm the terms of such Transaction, including the proposed Purchase Date, Purchase Price and Pricing Rate, by sending to the Seller, in electronic or other format, a “Confirmation”, no later than 12:30 p.m. on the requested Purchase Date, which will be confirmed electronically (by email or otherwise) by Seller prior to Buyer entering into such Transaction. Any such Transaction Notice and the related Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the terms agreed to between Buyer and the Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Transaction Notice and Confirmation, if any, relates. By entering in to a Transaction with Buyer, the Seller consents to the terms set forth in any related Confirmation.

(m)Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall review the applicable documents in the applicable Mortgage Files delivered prior to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) by the Seller on any Business Day on the same day. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on each Business Day, the Custodian shall deliver to Buyer, via Electronic Transmission acceptable to Buyer, the Custodial Loan Transmission showing the status of all Loans then held by the Custodian, including but not limited to an Exception Report showing all Loans which are subject to Exceptions, and the time the related Loan Documents have been released pursuant to Sections 5(a) or 7(a) of the Custodial Agreement. In addition, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement the Custodian shall deliver to Buyer upon the initial Transaction, a Master Trust Receipt with a Custodial Loan Transmission attached thereto. Each Custodial Loan Transmission subsequently delivered by the Custodian to Buyer shall supersede and cancel the Custodial Loan Transmission previously delivered by the Custodian to Buyer under the Custodial Agreement, and shall replace the Custodial Loan Transmission that is then appended to the Master Trust Receipt and shall control and be binding upon Buyer, Seller, and the Custodian. The Master Trust Receipt shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement.

(n)Upon the Seller’s request to enter into a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(a), Buyer shall, assuming all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3 and in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) have been met, and provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, not later than the required time on the requested Purchase Date set forth in the table above (the “Required Purchase Time”) purchase the Eligible Loans included in the related Transaction Notice by transferring, via wire transfer (pursuant to wire transfer instructions provided by the Seller on or prior to such Purchase Date) in immediately available funds, the Purchase Price. The Seller

LEGAL02/41072931v2

acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price paid in connection with any Purchased Loan that is purchased in any Transaction includes a premium allocable to the portion of such Purchased Loan that constitutes the related Servicing Rights.

(o)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR Rate:

(i)Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, if made in good faith and if reasonable, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” in Section 2 are not being provided for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Transactions as provided herein; or

(ii)it becomes unlawful for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on the LIBOR Rate;

then Buyer shall give the Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Buyer shall be under no obligation to purchase Loans hereunder, and the Seller shall, at its option, either repurchase such Loans subject to outstanding Transactions within thirty (30) days of such notice or pay a Pricing Rate at a rate per annum as determined by Buyer in good faith taking into account, among other factors Buyer deems relevant, the cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding the Loans.

(p)The Seller shall repurchase, and Buyer shall sell, Purchased Loans from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date. Each obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Loan (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan). Upon receipt of the Repurchase Price in full therefor and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer is obligated to deliver (or cause its designee to deliver) physical possession of the Purchased Loans to Seller or its designee on the related Repurchase Date. Upon such transfer of the Loans back to Seller, ownership of each Loan, including each document in the related Mortgage File and Records, is vested in Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such release and termination gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit, Buyer shall notify the Seller of the amount thereof and the Seller shall thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 6(b), following which Buyer shall promptly perform its obligations as set forth above in this Section 3(e). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have the right to repurchase any or all of the Purchased Loans at any time upon one (1) Business Days’ prior notice to Buyer, without incurring breakage fees.

(q)On any Repurchase Date, the Seller may, without cause and for any reason whatsoever, terminate this Agreement and effectuate a repurchase of all Purchased Loans then subject to Transactions at the related aggregate Repurchase Price (a “Seller Termination”); provided that Seller shall (i) exercise such termination rights in good faith, and (ii) remit the Repurchase Price and any Non-Utilization Fee (calculated pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof) for such Purchased Loans and satisfy all other outstanding Obligations within one (1) Business Day of such Repurchase Date. The Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence of a Seller Termination, the Seller shall not be entitled to repayment or reimbursement of any fees, costs or expenses paid by the Seller to Buyer under this Agreement or any other Program Document, unless otherwise expressly provided for under this Agreement.

(r)If any new, or change in, any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive

LEGAL02/41072931v2

(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i)shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loans purchased pursuant to it (excluding net income taxes) or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

(ii)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against deposits or other liabilities held on account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds in connection with Transactions by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

(iii)shall impose on Buyer any other condition relating to Transactions;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer in consultation with Seller, deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred. Without duplication, nothing in this Section 3(g) shall be construed to limit the Buyer’s right to reimbursement, gross-up or payment under any other section of this Agreement.

If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, the Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate Buyer for such reduction.

If ▇▇▇▇▇ becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify the Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Buyer to the Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(h) With respect to any eMortgage Loan, upon receipt of the related Repurchase Price Buyer shall initiate a Transfer of Location of the eNotes and Delegatee status with respect thereto as may be directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in any other Program Document, all transfers (and each such transfer) from Buyer to Seller or any designee of Seller of Notes (including without limitation all transfers of the Control and/or the Location of any eNote on the MERS eRegistry that result in the transfer the Control of any eNote from Buyer to Seller or to any other Person) are and shall be without recourse for the obligations of the Mortgagor and without (i) any of the liabilities of an endorser under UCC § 3-414, by analogy or otherwise, and (ii) any of the transfer warranties of UCC § 3-417 or other warranty, express or implied.

LEGAL02/41072931v2

(i) If at any time Buyer determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any change in any Requirement or Law or change in the MERS eRegistry, or that the occurrence of any event or circumstance, has or would have the effect of imposing or increasing the risk to Buyer of making or maintaining any Transaction with respect to eMortgage Loans hereunder (or of maintaining its obligations with respect to any such Transaction) (any such determination, an “eRisk Determination”), then Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller as promptly as practicable thereafter, and Buyer and Seller shall endeavor in good faith to establish alternative terms and conditions applying to such Transactions hereunder to address such changes and/or eliminate or reduce such risk in a manner satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, and to amend this Agreement and the other Program Documents to implement such changes. If Buyer and Seller fail for any reason to execute such amendments on or before forty-five (45) days after ▇▇▇▇▇’s said notice to Seller, Buyer may elect to give notice to Seller that, on or after forty-five (45) days thereafter, new eMortgage Loans will not be Eligible Loans.

(j) Maturity Date Extension. With respect to each Transaction, the Confirmation shall indicate the Repurchase Date (which shall not be later than the Maturity Date) for such Transaction, which shall be either (i) a fixed date not less than three (3) months and not more than twelve (12) months following the related Purchase Date, or (ii) an initial date of twelve (12) months following the related Purchase Date. On the date that is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to then then stated Maturity Date and each occurrence thereafter (each such occurrence, a “Maturity Extension Request Date”), Seller may request, and Buyer may agree, to extend the Maturity Date until the date that is three hundred sixty (360) days following such Maturity Extension Request Date (each such extended Maturity Date, an “Extended Maturity Date”) pursuant to the terms of a trade confirmation mutually agreed to and executed by Buyer and Seller; provided that in the event Seller requests an extension of the Maturity Date and Buyer fails to respond, such failure to respond shall be deemed a rejection of such request.

4.PAYMENTS; COMPUTATION

(l)Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments to be made by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Exhibit C hereto, not later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

(i)Prepayment. Seller may remit to Buyer funds up to the then outstanding Purchase Price less the Base Amount, to be applied as of the date such funds are received by Buyer towards the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price of Purchased Loans subject to outstanding Transactions on a pro rata basis. The Price Differential shall be applied, and shall accrue on the Purchase Price then outstanding, after such application of such funds as provided in the preceding sentence, subject to paragraph (ii) below.

(ii)New Transactions. If at any time the Market Value (assuming for purposes of this subsection that Market Value does not exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related Purchased Loan) of the aggregate of all Purchased Loans subject to a Transaction hereunder as of any date of determination multiplied by the Applicable Percentage is greater than the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Loans subject to a Transaction hereunder as of such date (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may, by delivery of written notice to Buyer by 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on any Business Day (an “Excess Margin Notice”), request that Buyer, as Seller elects, either to (i) remit additional Purchase Price in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Margin Excess and (y) the amount requested by

LEGAL02/41072931v2

Seller (but subject to Buyer’s consent in its sole discretion) or (ii) reallocate the Purchase Price to Purchased Loans with Margin Excess in order to release Purchased Loans which, following such reallocation, will have a Purchase Price of zero. In no event shall Buyer be obligated to remit Margin Excess or release Purchased Loans pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above to the extent (A) it would cause the outstanding Purchase Price to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price or otherwise be inconsistent with the requirements or conditions of this Agreement; (B) a Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after such action by Buyer or (C) such action would cause a Margin Deficit. Any Margin Excess remitted as cash shall be deemed an increase in Purchase Price.

Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller within five (5) days after the end of the applicable calendar month or the Termination Date, as applicable, of the Price Differential Payment Amount and of its calculation of such Price Differential Payment Amount. If such notice is given by Buyer before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, then such Price Differential Payment shall be paid by Seller by the following Business Day. If such notice is given by Buyer after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, then such Price Differential Payment shall be paid by Seller by the date that is two (2) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of such notice. All payments shall be made to Buyer in Dollars, in immediately available funds.

(o)Non-Utilization Fee. On a calendar monthly basis and on the Termination Date, Buyer shall determine the average monthly utilization during the preceding month by the Seller by dividing (a) the sum of the Purchase Prices outstanding on each day during such period, by (b) the number of days in such period. If such average amount determined for any period as a percentage of the Base Amount (the “Utilization Percentage”) is less than the Utilization Threshold, the Seller shall pay to Buyer the Non-Utilization Fee due for such related period. Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller within five (5) days after the end of the applicable calendar month or the Termination Date, as applicable, of the Utilization Percentage and of its calculation of such Non-Utilization Fee.

(l)All payments made by the Seller to Buyer or a Buyer assignee under this Agreement or under any Program Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes , excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the net income by the United States, a state or

LEGAL02/41072931v2

a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof , all of which shall be paid by the Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If the Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable to Buyer or Buyer assignee, the Seller shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the full amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with the requirements of the applicable law or regulation not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Buyer or Buyer assignee, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes; and (iv) pay to Buyer or Buyer assignee such additional amounts as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5), such Buyer or Buyer assignee receives, free and clear of all Taxes and Other Taxes, an amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

(m)The Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer or any Buyer assignee, promptly on reasonable demand, for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

(n)To the extent Buyer or Buyer assignee is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer”), such Foreign Buyer shall provide the Seller whichever of the following is applicable: (I) in the case of such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, a properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to a zero percent or reduced rate of U.S. federal income withholding tax on payments made hereunder or (II) a properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. Each Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee will deliver the appropriate IRS form on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee under this Agreement. Each Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee further agrees that upon learning that the information on any tax form or certification it previously delivered is inaccurate or incorrect in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so. For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide the Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 5(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 5(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.

(o)Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer or a Buyer assignee, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Document. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

LEGAL02/41072931v2

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

6.MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(l)Buyer determines the Market Value of the Purchased Loans at such intervals as determined by Buyer in its good faith discretion.

(m)If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Loans subject to all outstanding Transactions plus any prior Margin Call cash and Substitute Loans then held by Buyer is less than the aggregate Purchase Price for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, Buyer may by notice to Seller (a “Margin Call”) require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash or Substitute Loans approved by Buyer in its sole discretion so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Loans, including any such cash or Substitute Loans and any prior Margin Call cash and Substitute Loans then held by Buyer, will thereupon equal or exceed the aggregate Purchase Price for all outstanding Transactions. If ▇▇▇▇▇ delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer the required amount of cash or Substitute Loans to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) that day. In the event ▇▇▇▇▇ delivers a Margin Call to a Seller after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller will be required to transfer the required amount of cash or Substitute Loans no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the subsequent Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer shall not require the Seller to satisfy a Margin Call and no Margin Call shall be required to be made unless the Margin Deficit shall equal or exceed [***], as determined by Buyer in its reasonable, good faith discretion.

(n)Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit will not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(o)Any cash or Substitute Loans transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 6(b) above will be held as unsegregated cash margin (but only to the extent that application thereof to prepayment of the outstanding Repurchase Price would cause the aggregate Purchase Price of outstanding Transactions to be less than the Base Amount) and collateral for all Obligations, and Seller shall earn interest on the amount of such unsegregated cash margin at a rate of interest equal to the Federal Funds Rate unless otherwise specified in the applicable Confirmation for the relevant Transaction; provided, that if such rate is otherwise specified in the applicable Confirmation, it must be agreed to by Buyer and Seller. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, such interest shall be netted against the Price Differential due and owing by Seller. To the extent any cash delivered pursuant to this Section 6(d), if applied to prepay a portion of the aggregate Repurchase Price of outstanding Transactions, would not cause the outstanding Purchase Price to fall below the Base Amount, then such cash shall be so applied.

7.INCOME PAYMENTS

(l)Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Loan subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. The Seller shall (i) segregate all Income collected by or on behalf of the Seller on account of the Purchased Loans and shall hold such Income in trust for the benefit of Buyer that is clearly marked as such in the Seller’s records and (ii) remit such Income to the

LEGAL02/41072931v2

Collection Account for deposit therein no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that the Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income received in respect of the Purchased Loans, whether by Buyer, Custodian or any servicer or any other Person, which is not otherwise received by the Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Purchased Loans had not been sold to Buyer; provided that any Income received by the Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by the Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date; provided further that the Seller shall hold all such Income in the Collection Account, subject to Seller’s right to withdraw such Income from the Collection Account. Provided no Default has occurred, Buyer shall, on the Repurchase Date or any date on which the Seller repurchases the Purchased Loans, following the date any Income is received by Buyer (or a servicer on its behalf) either (i) transfer (or permit the servicer to transfer) to the Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Loans subject to such Transaction, or (ii) if a Margin Deficit then exists, hold such Income as cash margin (which shall be deemed posted by Seller to satisfy such Margin Deficit and held pursuant to Section 6) by the Seller. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentences (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith the Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Substitute Loans sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of Default with respect to the Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid.

(m)Upon an Event of Default, Seller will or will cause the Servicer to remit all Income to an account designated by Buyer.

(n)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon receipt by Seller of any prepayment of principal in full with respect to a Purchased Loan, Seller shall (i) provide prompt written notice to Buyer of such prepayment, and (ii) remit such amount to Buyer and Buyer shall hold such amount as unsegregated cash margin pursuant to Section 6(d) and apply any such amount received by Buyer plus accrued interest on such amount against the Repurchase Price on the Repurchase Date.

8.SECURITY INTEREST; ▇▇▇▇▇’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(l)On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all rights and interests in the Purchased Loans identified on the related Loan Schedule. The Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans from Buyer to the Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in order to preserve ▇▇▇▇▇’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for the Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, and in any event, the Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of the Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, until the related Purchased Loans are repurchased by the Seller:

(i)all Purchased Loans, including all related cash and Substitute Loans provided pursuant to Section 6 and held by or under the control of Buyer, identified on a Transaction Notice or related Loan Schedule delivered by the Seller to Buyer and the Custodian from time to time;

(ii)any Agency Security or right to receive such Agency Security when issued in each case only to the extent specifically backed by any of the Purchased Loans;

LEGAL02/41072931v2

(iii)the Program Documents (to the extent such Program Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Loans);

(iv)any other collateral pledged to secure, or otherwise specifically relating to, such Purchased Loans, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, Loan accounting records and other books and records relating thereto;

(v)the related Records, the related Servicing Records, and the related Servicing Rights relating to such Purchased Loans;

(vi)all rights of the Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Servicing Records or other documents which constitute a part of the related Mortgage File or Servicing File;

(vii)all rights of the Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Records or other documents which constitute a part of the related Mortgage File or Servicing File;

(viii)the Collection Account and all Income relating to such Purchased Loans;

(ix)all mortgage guaranties and insurance (including FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts and VA Loan Guaranty Agreements (if any)) and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Purchased Loans and all claims and payments thereunder and all rights of the Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing;

(x)all interests in real property collateralizing any Purchased Loans;

(xi)all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Loans or the related Mortgaged Property and all rights of the Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing;

(xii)any purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts or Takeout Commitments to the extent specifically related to Purchased Loans subject to a Transaction (including the rights to receive the related takeout price and the portion of the Security related to Purchased Loans subject to a Transaction as evidenced by such Takeout Commitments) to the extent relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing and all rights to receive copies of documentation relating thereto;

(xiii)all “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claims”, “deposit accounts”, “documents”, “equipment”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”, “letter of credit rights”, and “securities’ accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code and all cash and Cash Equivalents and all products and proceeds, all to the extent specifically relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing; and

(xiv)any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing (collectively the “Purchased Items”).

LEGAL02/41072931v2

The Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Loans, until the related Purchased Loans are repurchased by the Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, the Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Servicing Rights as indicated hereinabove. In addition, the Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, further grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to the Servicing Rights and the servicing of each of the Purchased Loans, and all Income related to the Purchased Loans received by the Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Security”). The Related Security is hereby pledged as further security for the Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder. The foregoing provisions are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest the Seller may have in the Purchased Loans and any other collateral granted by the Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder.

(m)At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense of the Seller, the 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 Items and the liens created hereby. The Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement 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 under applicable law.

(n)Seller shall not (i) change its name or corporate structure (or the equivalent), or (ii) reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority.

(o)The Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Seller and in the name of the Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items, carrying out the terms of this Agreement, taking any and all appropriate action and executing any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items, accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement, and filing such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Items as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of the Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, the Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

LEGAL02/41072931v2

(i)in the name of the Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items whenever payable;

(ii)to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Items;

(iii)(A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of the Seller and any applicable Servicer and Section 404 Notices; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Items; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Items; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Items or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Items; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Seller with respect to any Purchased Items; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Items as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at ▇▇▇▇▇’s option and the Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Items and ▇▇▇▇▇’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Seller might do.

The Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition to the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to execute a Power of Attorney to be delivered on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder.

The Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 19 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items.

(p)The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect ▇▇▇▇▇’s interests in the Purchased Items and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible

LEGAL02/41072931v2

to the Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(q)If the Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Documents and Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by the Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations.

(r)All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Purchased Items are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

(v)The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Loans does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇▇ may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loan and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loan on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.

Buyer is entitled to seek specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in the Program Documents.

(d)Buyer shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Loans to take such action with respect to the Purchased Loans as Buyer determines appropriate and as is consistent with the Servicer’s obligations and applicable law.

(e)In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser or a secured party, as applicable, under the Uniform Commercial Code.

(f)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or by applicable law, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and/or at any time thereafter, with notice to Seller, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(g)Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and the Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right the Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. The Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law (and absent any willful misconduct or gross negligence of Buyer), any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) the Seller might otherwise have arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Loans and any other Purchased Items or from any other election of remedies. The Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(h)The Seller shall cause all sums received by the Seller after and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Purchased Loans to be deposited with such Person as Buyer may direct after receipt thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of ▇▇▇▇▇’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller to Buyer under this paragraph 19(h) is at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with hedging or covering transactions related to the Purchased Loans, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.

(i)Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform Obligations

LEGAL02/41072931v2

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ would be inadequate and ▇▇▇▇▇ is entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies does not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

20.DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies. An Event of Default will be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by ▇▇▇▇▇ in writing.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Loans relating to or arising out of any Taxes incurred or assessed in connection with the ownership of the Loans or any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation laws with respect to unfair or deceptive lending practices and predatory lending practices, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a claim by one Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought

LEGAL02/41072931v2

by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Loan, the Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by the Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the Seller. The Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party promptly after billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s documented, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. The Seller hereby acknowledges that, the obligations of the Seller under this Agreement are recourse obligations of the Seller.

(m)The Seller agrees to pay (within ten (10) Business Days after the Seller receives written demand for such payment from Buyer) all of the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, any other Program Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. The Seller agrees to pay (within 10 Business Days after the Seller receives written demand for such payment from Buyer) all of the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (i) filing fees and all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer and (ii) all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Purchased Items under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to this Section 23 and Section 43 hereof; provided, however, that (x) the aggregate amount of such costs and expenses referred to in clause (i) of this sentence shall not exceed $125,000, and (y) the aggregate amount of such costs and expenses referred to in clause (ii) of this sentence and incurred after the Effective Date shall not exceed $10,000 per annum; provided that after the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amounts shall not be applicable. Buyer shall deliver to the Seller copies of documentation supporting any of the foregoing demands on the Seller’s request. The Seller, Buyer, and each Indemnified Party also agree not to assert any claim against the others or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(n)If the Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of the Seller by Buyer (including without limitation by Buyer netting such amount from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid by Buyer to the Seller hereunder), in its sole discretion and the Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer (except those that are paid by Seller, including by netting against any Purchase Price). No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under the Program Documents (except those that are paid by Seller, including by netting against any Purchase Price).

LEGAL02/41072931v2

(o)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 23 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Loans by Buyer against full payment therefor.

(p)The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price and all other amounts due under this Agreement are full recourse obligations of Seller.

25.REIMBURSEMENT

All sums reasonably expended by Bu▇▇▇ ▇n connection with the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein shall be and remain Seller’s obligation (unless and to the extent that Seller is the prevailing party in any dispute, claim or action relating thereto or Buyer or an Indemnified Party is grossly negligent or engages in willful misconduct relating thereto). The Seller agrees to pay, with interest at the Post-Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by Buyer and/or Custodian in connection with the preparation, negotiation, enforcement (including any waivers), administration and amendment of the Program Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is entered into hereunder), the reasonable taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by Buyer (without duplication to Buyer) and/or Custodian pursuant thereto, subject to Section 23(b), any due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses in connection with any “due diligence” or loan agent reviews conducted by Buyer or on its behalf or by refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a “workout” all pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from pledging its interest in the Purchased Loans and the related Purchased Items as permitted by the Program Documents.

LEGAL02/41072931v2

Nothing contained in this Agreement obligates Buyer to segregate any Purchased Loans or Purchased Items delivered to Buyer by Seller.

38.ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS.

(l)The Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder only with the prior written consent of Bu▇▇▇. Buyer may from time to time, with the consent of Seller which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent shall be required if any such assignment by Buyer is (x) following ten (10) Business Days advanced written notice to Seller, to an Affiliate of Buyer whose creditworthiness, as determined by Seller in its good faith discretion, is not materially weaker than that of Buyer (after taking into account any credit support) and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer or (y) after the occurrence of an Event of Default), assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents to any party pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and the applicable assignee in form and substance acceptable to Buyer (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. On the effective date of any such assignment, (A) such assignee will be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and will succeed to the related rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (B) Buyer will, to the extent of such rights and obligations so assigned, be released from its obligations (but not its rights to the extent such rights are intended to survive any such assignment) hereunder and under the Program Documents.

(m)Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents; provided, however, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement will remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer will remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance of such obligations; (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents except as provided in Section 5; and (iv) the holder of such participation and its respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to the set off rights set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, in Section 44, and shall not be entitled to conduct due diligence under Section 43, except through Buyer as its representative.

(n)Buyer may furnish any information concerning the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of Buyer from time to time to assignees or participants (including prospective assignees and participants) only after notifying the Seller in writing and securing signed confidentiality agreements (in a form mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Seller) and only for the sole purpose of evaluating assignments or participations and for no other purpose.

(o)Upon the Seller’s consent to an assignment, the Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Bu▇▇▇ ▇n connection with any such assignment, to execute and deliver replacement notes, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement and the other Program Documents in order to give effect to such assignment.

(p)Bu▇▇▇, solely for this purpose as Se▇▇▇▇’s non-fiduciary agent, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record each assignment hereunder and each Assignment and Acceptance. The Register will include the name and address of Buyer (including all

LEGAL02/41072931v2

assignees and successors) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The entries in the Register will be conclusive absent manifest error. Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement; provided however, that any failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. This Section 38(e), together with Section 38(f), are intended to comprise a book entry system within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 5f.103-1(c) that is the exclusive way for Buyer (or any of its assignees or successors) to transfer an interest under this Agreement and these provisions shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with and so as to effect such intent.

(q)Buyer shall maintain a participation register (the “Participation Register”) on which it shall record each participation. The Participation Register will include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations participated. The entries in the Participation Register will be conclusive absent manifest error. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall promptly provide Seller with and maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information at any time.

39.SINGLE AGREEMENT

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

40.INTENT

(l)The Seller and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(i) of Title 11 of the USC, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of Title 11 of the USC, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of Title 11 of the USC, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the USC, and that the pledge of the Related Security in Section 8(a) hereof is intended to constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(x) of Title 11 of the USC. Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Repurchase Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).

(m)It is understood that Bu▇▇▇’s right to liquidate the Purchased Items delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 19 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of Title 11 of the USC ; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit is considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

LEGAL02/41072931v2

(n)The parties further agree that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in the FDIA, and any rules, orders or policy statement thereunder.

(o)It is understood that 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 FDICIA.

41.CONFIDENTIALITY

(l)Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to the other regarding the terms set forth in any of the Program Documents or the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or regarding any other confidential or proprietary information of a party, including, without limitation, any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a) (the “Confidential Terms”), will be kept confidential by such party, and will not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of such other party except to the extent that (i) such information is disclosed to direct or indirect parent companies, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, members, managers, shareholders, legal counsel, auditors, accountants or agents (the “Representatives”); provided that such Representatives are informed of the confidential nature of such information and the disclosing party is responsible for their breach of these confidentiality provisions; provided, further, that with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, financial information provided pursuant to Section 13(a), such financial information is only disclosed to Representatives in connection with the ongoing administration or performance of the Program Documents, (ii) disclosure of such information is required by law, rule, regulation or order of any court, taxing authority, governmental agency or regulatory body, (iii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of the provisions of this Section 41, (iv) other than with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a), which shall require Seller’s separate and prior written consent to disclose, in the event of an Event of Default Buyer determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Loans or otherwise to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder, (v) other than with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a), which shall require Seller’s separate and prior written consent to disclose, disclosure is made to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any hedging arrangement, (vi) other than with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a), which shall require Seller’s separate and prior written consent to disclose, any such disclosure is made in connection with an offering of securities, (vii) other than with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a), which shall require Seller’s separate and prior written consent to disclose, disclosures are made in Seller’s financial statements or footnotes, (viii) such disclosures are made to lenders or prospective lenders to Seller, buyers or prospective buyers of Seller’s business, sellers or prospective sellers of businesses to Seller and its counsel, accountants, representatives and agents, or (ix) such disclosure is pursuant to Section 38(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to

LEGAL02/41072931v2

understanding such tax treatment; provided that, except as provided above, no party may disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Seller, Buyer, their Affiliates or any other Indemnified Party, or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Applicable Margin, Applicable Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the other parties.

(m)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller shall comply, in all material respects, with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Loans and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Seller and Buyer shall notify the other parties promptly following discovery of any breach or compromise in any material respect of any applicable requirements of law with respect to the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of the other parties. Seller and Buyer shall provide such notice to the other parties by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

42.SERVICING

(l)Subject to subsection (d) below, the Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Purchased Loans to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices and pursuant to the related underlying Servicing Agreement, if any. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) the termination thereof by Buyer pursuant to subsection (d) below, (ii) thirty one (31) days after the last Purchase Date of such Purchased Loan, (iii) a Default or an Event of Default, (iv) the date on which all the Obligations have been paid in full, or (v) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Bu▇▇▇ ▇nd the assumption thereof by such entity.

(m)During the period the Seller is servicing the Purchased Loans for Buyer, (i) the Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Records relating to Purchased Loans that have not been repurchased, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Loans (and, for clarification purposes, and not in limitation of the foregoing, the “Servicing Records” of an eMortgage Loan must include the eClosing Transaction Record and any other files, documents, records, data and information required to be created and/or maintained by a servicer of eMortgage Loans under applicable Agency Guidelines) (collectively, the “Servicing Records”), and (ii) the Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Loans that have not been repurchased and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of the Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section 42 and any other obligation of the Seller to Buyer. At all times during the term of this Agreement, the Seller covenants to hold such Servicing Records in trust for Buyer and to safeguard, or cause each Subservicer to safeguard, such Servicing Records and to deliver them, or cause any such Subservicer to deliver them to the extent permitted under the related Servicing Agreement promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s reasonable request. It is understood and agreed by the parties that prior to an Event of Default, Seller, as servicer shall retain the servicing fees with respect to the Purchased Loans.

(n)If any Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than the Seller (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Purchased Loan is to be

LEGAL02/41072931v2

transferred to a Subservicer, the Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement and an Instruction Letter executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Purchase Date or transfer date, as applicable, which Servicing Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer. In addition, the Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Loans, which consent may not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.

Buyer shall have the right, exercisable at any time in its sole discretion, upon written notice, to terminate Seller or any Subservicers as servicer or subservicer, respectively, and any related Servicing Agreement (to the extent permitted therein) with respect to Purchased Loans that have not been repurchased without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Upon any such termination, the Seller shall transfer or shall cause Subservicer to transfer such servicing with respect to such Purchased Loans to Buyer or its designee, appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion, at no cost or expense to Buyer in accordance with applicable laws and, if such Purchased Loan is an Agency Eligible Loan, applicable Agency Guidelines. The Seller agrees to cooperate with ▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the transfer of servicing.

(o)After the Purchase Date, until the Repurchase Date, the Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the Loan or consent to the modification or alteration of the terms of any Loan, except as required by law, Agency Guidelines, FHA Regulations, requirements for VA Loans, Accepted Servicing Practices, any Program Documents or other requirements, and the Seller will have no obligation or right to repossess any Loan or substitute another Loan, except as provided in any Custodial Agreement or any Program Document, including, without limitation, Section 16 of this Agreement.

(p)The Seller shall permit Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time the Seller’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that the Seller has the ability to service the Loans as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Subservicer.

(q)Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Loans; provided that Seller shall continue to service the Purchased Loans hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Loans are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis.

Schedule 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: LOANS

Eligible Loans

For purposes of this Schedule 1 and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty will be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Loan. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as to each Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder, the Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Purchase Date and as of each date such Loan is subject to a Transaction:

1.Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Loan Schedule with respect to the Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date.

2.Payments Current. No payment required under the Loan is, thirty (30) days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Loan been thirty (30) days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Loan.

3.No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid or are not delinquent, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable and delinquent. Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Note or date of disbursement of the Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest.

4.Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or, with respect to each Loan that is not an Early Buyout Loan, modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by a written instrument which has been (i) recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, (ii) delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as Buyer shall designate in writing, and (iii) if such instrument modifies an eNote, such modification is reflected on the MERS eRegistry and the eNote and related Loan documents remain valid, effective and enforceable (first lien) and in compliance with all applicable eCommerce Laws and applicable Underwriting Guidelines, and in each case, the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as Buyer shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule.

5.No Defenses. The Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or


			Schedule 1-1

LEGAL02/41072931v2

subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at, or subsequent to, the time the Loan was originated.

6.Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards as are provided for in the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD guidelines, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the applicable requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms to the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD guidelines. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums due and owing thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance policies at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of such policy, including, without limitation, to Seller’s knowledge, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller, in any case, to the extent it would impair coverage under any such policy.

7.Compliance with Applicable Law. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, anti-predatory lending laws, laws covering fair housing, fair credit reporting, community reinvestment, homeowners equity protection, equal credit opportunity, mortgage reform and disclosure laws or unfair and deceptive practices laws applicable to the origination and servicing of such Loan have been complied with in all material respects, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations. Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for Buyer’s inspection, evidence of compliance with all requirements set forth herein.

8.No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination or rescission other than in the case of a release of a portion of the land comprising a Mortgaged Property or a release of a blanket Mortgage which release will not cause the Loan to fail to satisfy the requirements of the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.


			Schedule 1-2

LEGAL02/41072931v2

9.Valid First Lien. Each Mortgage is a valid and subsisting first lien on a single parcel of real estate included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing, subject in all cases to the exceptions to title set forth in the title insurance policy with respect to the related Loan, which exceptions are generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending companies, the exceptions set forth below and such other exceptions to which similar properties are commonly subject and which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage. The lien of the Mortgage is subject to:

(1)the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet delinquent.

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

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

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer.

10.Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Loan are genuine or in the case of an eNote, the copy of the eNote transmitted to Buyer’s eVault is the Authoritative Copy and the tamper-seal on the eNote matches the tamper-seal stored on the MERS eRegistry, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles. All parties to the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Loan and to execute and deliver the Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other the applicable related parties. No fraud or error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Loan or in any mortgage or flood insurance, if applicable, in relation to such Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as they deem necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

11.Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds


			Schedule 1-3

LEGAL02/41072931v2

therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid or are in the process of being paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Note or Mortgage (excluding refunds that may result from escrow analysis adjustments).

12.Ownership. Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Note and upon the sale of the Loans to Buyer, Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, Buyer or Buyer’s designee, in trust for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Loan. The Loan is not assigned or pledged to a third party, subject to Takeout Commitments, and Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Loan, Buyer will hold such Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, except any security interest created pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Takeout Commitments.

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

14.Title Insurance. The Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans or reverse mortgage loans, as applicable, in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy, or with respect to any Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA lender’s title insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (l) of this Schedule 1, and in the case of adjustable rate Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. The Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will


			Schedule 1-4

LEGAL02/41072931v2

be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

15.No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither Seller nor any of its predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration.

16.No Mechanics’ Liens. At origination, there were no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal to, the lien of the related Mortgage.

17.Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, except those which are insured against by the related title insurance policy. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation.

18.Origination. The Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal payments on the Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as the lifetime rate cap and the periodic cap are as set forth on the Loan Schedule, as applicable. The Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to adjustable rate Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each date on which an adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate with respect to each Loan becomes effective, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty (30) years from commencement of amortization. The Due Date of the first payment under the Note is no more than sixty (60) days from the date of the Note.

19.Payment Provisions. Principal payments on the Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Loan were disbursed. With respect to each Loan, the Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments. The Note does not permit negative amortization. There are no convertible Loans which contain a provision allowing the Mortgagor to convert the Note from an adjustable interest rate Note to a fixed interest rate Note.

20.Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption. There is no homestead or other exemption


			Schedule 1-5

LEGAL02/41072931v2

available to the Mortgagor that would interfere with the right to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose on the related Mortgage, subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect to bankruptcy and right of redemption.

21.Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination and collection practices and servicing used by Seller with respect to each Note and Mortgage are in compliance in all material respects with Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable law. The Loan has been serviced by Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. Each escrow of funds that has been established is not prohibited by applicable law. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Note. Any interest required to be paid on escrowed funds pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.

22.Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines. The Loan was underwritten in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. If such Loan is an Agency Eligible Loan, the Note and Mortgage (exclusive of any riders) are on forms similar to those used by or acceptable to the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD, as applicable, and neither Seller has made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Loan is in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines or employs objective quantitative principles which relate the Mortgagor’s credit characteristics, income, assets and liabilities (as applicable to a particular underwriting program) to the proposed payment, and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension.

23.No Additional Collateral. The Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in paragraph (i) above.

24.Appraisal. Unless the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD requires otherwise, the Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which satisfied the applicable standards of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and Freddie Mac and was made and signed prior to the approval of the Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller or the originator of the Loan, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD and Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Loan was originated. Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding the value of the Mortgaged Property.

25.Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

LEGAL02/41072931v2

26.Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage (other than for a MERS Loan) and any other documents required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Loan have been delivered to the Custodian, except as otherwise provided in the Custodial Agreement. Seller is, or an agent of Seller is, in possession of a complete, true and materially accurate Mortgage File in compliance with the Custodial Agreement, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian and except as otherwise provided in the Custodial Agreement.

27.No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. Except for Loans made in connection with employee relocations, no Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. Except for Loans made in connection with employee relocations, the Loan is not a graduated payment Loan and the Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature. Such employee relocation Loans are identified on the related Loan Schedule.

28.Mortgagor Acknowledgment. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials to the extent required by applicable law with respect to the making of fixed rate Loans and adjustable rate Loans and rescission materials with respect to refinanced Loans. Seller shall maintain such statement in the Mortgage File and all logs, audit trails, information and data evidencing or relating to the receipt and acknowledgment or execution of all disclosures, consent and acknowledgements required under eCommerce Laws will remain in the Records for the related eMortgage Loan.

29.No Construction Loans. No Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.

30.Acceptable Investment. To Seller’s actual knowledge, there are no specific circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that are reasonably expected to (i) cause private institutional investors which invest in loans similar to the Loan, to regard the Loan as an unacceptable investment, or (ii) adversely affect the value of the Loan in comparison to similar loans.

31.LTV, PMI Policy. Except as approved by one of the Agencies, FHA, VA or HUD, no Loan has an LTV greater than 100%. If required by the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD, the Loan is insured by a PMI Policy. All provisions of any PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Loan as set forth on the Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium.

32.Capitalization of Interest. The Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest.

33.No Equity Participation. No document relating to the Loan provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property.

39.Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the origination of the Loan have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD, as applicable. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Loan.

40.No Balloon Payment. No Loan has a balloon payment feature.

Litigation

I. Ordinary Course of Business Litigation

I.Standard Business Litigation

As a residential mortgage lender originating, closing and servicing loans in all 50 states, Quicken Loans, LLC may, at any point in time, be named as a party to dozens of legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, such as actions alleging improper lending practices, improper servicing, quiet title actions, improper foreclosure practices, violations of consumer protection laws, etc. In many of these actions, Quicken Loans may not be the real party of interest, but it may appear in the pleadings because it is in the chain of title to property over which there may be a dispute. In other cases, such as lien avoidance cases brought in bankruptcy, Quicken Loans is insured by title insurance and the case is turned over to the title insurer who tenders our defense.

As to other matters that arise in the ordinary course, management does not believe that the amount of liability, if any, for any of the pending matters individually or in the aggregate will materially affect Quicken Loans’ consolidated financial position. However, litigation can have a significant effect on Quicken Loans for other reasons such as defense costs, diversion of management focus and resources, and other factors. To the best of Quicken Loans’ information and belief, there are no outstanding judgments, liens or orders that have not been satisfied.

III.Regulatory and Administrative Matters

As a non-depository mortgage company, Quicken Loans is regulated by and subject to various state agencies that oversee and regulate mortgage lending and the activities of bank and/or non-bank financial institutions. These state agencies are generally authorized to: issue licenses or registrations where state law requires; conduct periodic on-site or remote audits or examinations of the regulated institution’s books, files and practices; investigate consumer complaints; issue findings of audit or compliance variances that may require refunds to borrowers for charges beyond those permitted under the state’s laws or regulations; assess fines or penalties if administrative rules are not adhered to, and/or require other corrective actions to be taken.

These agencies also have the authority to seek revocation of an institutions or individual’s license or registration to operate as a mortgage lender or loan originator in the state. In the ordinary course of business and in any given year, Quicken Loans participates in and responds to numerous regular periodic state examinations. If the state agency issues a finding, Quicken Loans may dispute that finding or attempt to reconcile any differences of opinion. In other instances, Quicken Loans may undertake corrective action before being required to do so by the state regulator. In some states, the state’s attorney general may also investigate consumer complaints regarding mortgage lending and issue subpoenas, commence informal inquiries or formal investigations. As a licensed mortgage company Quicken Loans is, in the ordinary course of business, subject to such inquiries and investigations. Although Quicken Loans may currently be subject to various state examinations and consumer complaint inquiries, management does not believe the outcomes of these examinations or inquiries, individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect Quicken Loans consolidated financial position or operations.
