Subject to and as limited by Section 5.12, Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the Effective Date and, as applicable, the Sale Date, any Subsequent Sale Date, and, with respect to Section 5.03 only, the applicable Servicing Transfer Date, as follows, irrespective of either the truth or accuracy or such representations and warranties or Seller’s or Purchaser’s knowledge of the truth or accuracy of such representations and warranties:

Section 5.01 Servicing.

(a) Compliance.

(i) (A) Each Mortgage Loan conformed and conforms to the Applicable Requirements in all material respects, and each Mortgage Loan was eligible for sale to, insurance by, or pooling to back securities issued or guaranteed by, or participation certificates issued by, the applicable Investor or Insurer upon such sale, issuance of insurance or pooling, except in each case where such failure to conform or ineligibility would not be the contractual or legal responsibility of the Purchaser as the transferee under the applicable Servicing Agreement or by virtue of the applicable Tri-Party Agreement; (B) each Mortgage Loan has been originated, underwritten and serviced in compliance with all Applicable Requirements in all material respects, except where such lack of compliance would not be the contractual or legal responsibility of the Purchaser as the transferee under the applicable Servicing Agreement or by virtue of the applicable Tri-Party Agreement and (C) Seller is not otherwise in default with respect to Seller’s obligations under the Applicable Requirements.

(ii) Each Mortgage Loan that is identified as having FHA insurance on the Mortgage Loan Schedule or that is required to have FHA insurance has such FHA insurance under the standard provisions of the FHA program.

Each Mortgage Loan which is required pursuant to Applicable Requirements or which is represented by Seller to have mortgage insurance or a guaranty certificate has such mortgage insurance or a guaranty certificate, except where the lack of such mortgage insurance or a guaranty certificate would not be the contractual or legal responsibility of the Purchaser as transferee under the applicable Servicing Agreement or by virtue of the applicable Tri-Party Agreement, and has an accurate holder identification for purposes of filing

claims. All provisions of such insurance policies or guarantees have been and are being complied with in all material respects, all premiums due thereunder have been paid, and such policies and/or guarantee are in full force and effect, except where the lack of compliance or the lapse or invalidity of policies or guarantees would not be the contractual or legal responsibility of the Purchaser as transferee under the applicable Servicing Agreement or by virtue of the applicable Tri-Party Agreement.

(ii) None of the Agency Servicing Agreements impose terms and conditions that materially increase the obligations in connection with the Servicing of the Mortgage Loans beyond that stated in the applicable Guides and that would apply to the Purchaser as the transferee of the Mortgage Servicing Rights.

(iii) Except as would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Purchaser to realize the economic benefits associated with the Transactions, each Servicing Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the Seller, is in full force and effect, and is enforceable by Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity.

(ii) Prior to the applicable Servicing Transfer Date, Seller and Purchaser shall develop a protocol to identify with particularity the obligations of Purchaser to conduct the Servicing with respect to individual Mortgage Loans in accordance with paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, and 11 of the HUD Settlement. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser and its Related Parties harmless from and shall reimburse Purchaser and its Related Parties for any Losses (which, for purposes of this Section 7.12(b)(ii), shall be deemed to include any amounts attributable to or arising from overhead allocations, general or administrative costs and expenses, or any cost for the time of the employees of Purchaser and its Related Parties, and any other loss, cost or expense that ordinarily would be an eligible component of a mortgage insurance payment by HUD but that is ineligible under the HUD Settlement) suffered or incurred by Purchaser or its Related Parties after such Servicing Transfer Date that result from or arise out of (1) Purchaser’s compliance with any such obligations (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s failure to comply with any such obligations) and (2) Seller’s failure to comply with the HUD Settlement at any time (i.e., whether such failure to comply occurs prior to or after the Effective Date).

(iii) With respect to the Mortgage Loans, Purchaser covenants with Seller that Purchaser shall comply in all material respects with the servicing standards attached as Exhibit A (Settlement Term Sheet) to the NMS in accordance with their terms. Purchaser shall ensure its compliance with such servicing standards by, among other means, adopting certain of the provisions of Exhibit E (Enforcement Terms) to the NMS consisting of the designation of an independent internal quality control group to perform quarterly compliance reviews based on the “metrics” provided for therein, the adoption and implementation of a related “work plan” and, as applicable, any “corrective action plans,” and the preparation of quarterly reports of the results of its compliance reviews (which such reports shall be available for review by any Governmental Entity that has supervisory authority over Purchaser, including, without limitation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and state licensing authorities). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that Purchaser is not assuming Seller’s obligations under the NMS and that any financial penalties that Seller may incur by or through the “Monitor” under the NMS as a result of any failure of Purchaser or its Affiliates to comply with the terms of the NMS shall remain the liability and obligation of Seller, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided, that Seller shall provide prompt written notice to Purchaser following receipt of notice from any Governmental Entity alleging that Purchaser’s conduct constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(iv) Purchaser and Seller shall manage the litigation with respect to the Mortgage Loans that exists as of the applicable Servicing Transfer Date in

accordance with a protocol that will be mutually agreed prior to the initial Servicing Transfer Date; provided, that, in no event shall Purchaser be required to manage or assume any responsibility in respect of defending any class action litigation or, subject to Applicable Requirements, any litigation in which Seller, and not Purchaser, is a defendant; and

(v) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser with respect to Purchaser’s performance of its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.12(b), including, but solely with respect to Purchaser’s compliance with the HUD Settlement and Purchaser’s covenant to comply in all material respects with the servicing standards attached as Exhibit A (Settlement Term Sheet) to the NMS in accordance with their terms, by providing Purchaser (upon Purchaser’s reasonable request) with a description of any of Seller’s policies and procedures used thereby in connection with servicing the Mortgage Loans as of the date hereof and by making Seller’s personnel available (at reasonable times and under reasonable conditions) to answer Buyer’s questions with respect to such policies and procedures.

(c) From the date hereof, until each applicable Servicing Transfer Date, and as further provided for in that Interim Servicing Addendum, if applicable, Seller shall at all times be in good standing and authorized to conduct business in each jurisdiction where Seller transacts business and each jurisdiction where a Mortgaged Property is located, except where the failure of Seller to possess such qualifications would not be material to Purchaser.

(d) From the date hereof, until each applicable Servicing Transfer Date, and as further provided for in that Interim Servicing Addendum, if applicable, Seller shall at all times maintain all Related Escrow Accounts in accordance with the Applicable Requirements; and, except as to payments which are past due under Mortgage Notes, all balances required by the Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents and paid to Seller for the account of the Mortgagors are on deposit in the appropriate Related Escrow Account.

(e) From the date hereof, until each applicable Servicing Transfer Date, and as further provided for in that Interim Servicing Addendum, Seller shall remain an approved Agency Seller/Servicer in good standing with the requisite financial criteria and adequate resources to carry out Seller’s obligations herein, including without limitation under the Interim Servicing Addendum.

Section 7.13 Solicitation Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 7.13(b), following the Sale Date or any Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall solicit the Mortgagors (nor shall Seller or its Affiliates direct any of their agents to solicit Mortgagors) to refinance the prepayment of the Mortgage Loans related to the Mortgage Servicing Rights.

(b) The restrictions under Section 7.13(a) shall not apply to:

(i) Advertising campaigns directed to the general public, including mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements; or

(ii) Solicitations for financial services to any Mortgagor with whom Seller or an Affiliate has an existing customer relationship, unrelated to the Mortgage Loan, including solicitations for refinancing of mortgage loans only to the extent directed at all customers of Seller, or segments thereof that do not principally target the Mortgagors;

provided, however, that Seller and its Affiliates and agents shall not use any proprietary information related to the Mortgagors’ Mortgage Loans to conduct such advertising campaigns or solicitations to refinance the prepayment of the Mortgage Loans related to the Mortgage Servicing Rights.

Section 7.14 Year End Tax Reporting.

Seller shall be responsible for providing the Internal Revenue Service and Mortgagors with all appropriate tax forms and information for transactions affecting the Mortgage Loans during the respective calendar year, for the period prior to each applicable Servicing Transfer Date.

Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable or otherwise to promptly consummate and make effective the Transactions, (ii) obtain all authorizations, consents or approvals that are or may be or become necessary for the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Servicing Agreement Consents, and (iii) fulfill all conditions to such Party’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as promptly as practicable.

Section 7.16 Supplemental Information.

From time to time prior to and after each applicable Servicing Transfer Date, Seller shall, at its cost and expense, furnish Purchaser with incidental information, which is reasonably available to Seller, supplemental to the information contained in the documents and schedules delivered pursuant to this Agreement, which is necessary for the proper servicing of the Mortgage Loans or to ensure compliance with the Servicing Agreements. Seller shall provide Purchaser with originals of Mortgages and Assignments of Mortgage not previously provided by Seller in accordance with the protocol set forth on Exhibit I.

Section 7.17 Access to Information; Required Actions.

(a) If Seller is subject as an actual or prospective plaintiff or defendant to any claim, action, proceeding, investigation, inquiry, audit, examination, judgment, order (including with respect to the NMS, the HUD Settlement and the Regulator), remediation

plan relating to a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Servicing Rights or related Servicing, Purchaser, following each applicable Servicing Transfer Date, shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and (i) make available to Seller, at Seller’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, data, documentation, materials and information in the Purchaser’s possession or under the Purchaser’s control relating thereto and (ii) implement such loss mitigation and remedial action or take such other actions as is reasonably required by Seller, in each case at Seller’s expense, to prosecute, defend, comply with or otherwise handle such claim, action, proceeding, investigation, inquiry, audit, examination, judgment, order, remediation plan, but subject to applicable laws and appropriate confidentiality agreements with Seller.

All such reports, documents or information shall be provided by and in accordance with all reasonable instructions and directions which the requesting Party may give. Such documents shall be provided reasonably promptly following such a request. Purchaser shall not provide originals or copies of the Credit and Servicing Files to any Person that does not have a right thereto under the applicable Servicing Agreement and Applicable Requirements.

(c) In connection with any action, claim or proceeding concerning MI or insurance with respect to any Mortgage Loan by an Insurer:

(i) Purchaser shall comply with the covenants specified in Exhibit L and, in each case at Seller’s expense, reasonably cooperate with Seller and make available to Seller any communication (including any request for missing documents, notification of impending coverage rescission, notification of impending claim denial, claim denials, coverage rescissions, and curtailments), all witnesses, pertinent records, and any materials and information in Purchaser’s possession or control relating thereto as may be reasonably required by Seller to bring or defend such action, claim or proceeding. The cooperation obligations in this Section shall include the obligation of Purchaser to provide Seller with notice within a reasonable time but no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after Purchaser becomes aware of any such action, claim or proceeding; and

(ii) Upon the request of Seller, Purchaser and Purchaser’s designee shall provide written authorization to the Insurers, if required, to allow Seller to respond to any such action, claim or proceeding directly to an Insurer. Such authorization shall state that Purchaser and Purchaser’s designee, as the case may be, ratify Seller’s ability to take steps the Seller determines to be reasonably necessary to pursue coverage under the MI, bond insurance or other insurance policies, including, without limitation, prosecuting and/or defending litigation and/or arbitration with

mortgage insurers with respect to claims made and/or rescissions, denials or curtailments the mortgage insurers have attempted or will attempt to effectuate, as well as settling with mortgage insurers at Seller’s discretion, either in Seller’s own name or as subcontractor or agent for Purchaser, but excluding any MI actions, claims or proceedings that arise from alleged servicing-related activities occurring after each applicable Servicing Transfer Date. At Seller’s request, Purchaser shall appoint Seller as its subcontractor or agent pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement for the purpose of accomplishing the foregoing. Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s designee agree to execute all reasonable servicing-related functions pursuant to the terms of any existing or future settlements (copies of which will be provided to Purchaser), including processing claims, premiums, claim payments, etc. in accordance with the terms of a settlement agreement.

(e) Subject to applicable laws, Purchaser shall provide Seller with monthly reports with information about each Mortgage Loan based on the data fields specified in Exhibit H hereto. Seller shall use such information solely to manage its continuing liabilities and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including its contingent liability, or its Affiliates’ contingent liabilities, to repurchase from, or provide make-whole payments to, any Investor, Insurer or any other Person, including any Agency as more fully described in the Tri-Party Agreements, and for no other purpose.

Section 7.18 Tax, Flood and Other Set Up Costs.

Seller shall bear and pay all fees relating to the transfer of servicing to the Purchaser, including any Investor’s transfer processing fees, assignment preparation and recording fees (including in the case of any deficient assignments that are re-sent for recordation by Purchaser), MERS fees and costs of delivery and deposit expenses for the shipment of the Collateral Files, and the shipment of Credit and Servicing Files to the extent not delivered in the form of electronically imaged copies, to Purchaser and/or Custodian. Seller shall not be responsible for the costs of any tax or flood services contracts, certifications or set up costs, provided that Seller delivers all contracts or information as required by Sections 7.04(e) and 7.05(d), as applicable. If Seller fails to deliver such contracts or information, or such information is incorrect as to any Mortgage Loan, Seller shall bear and pay Purchaser’s actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses for such contracts, certifications or set up costs for such Mortgage Loans, not to exceed $85.00 per Mortgage Loan for tax services contracts, and not to exceed $10.00 per Mortgage Loan for flood certifications.

Section 7.19 Document Custodian.

With respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to the PLS Servicing Agreements, the current Custodian will continue to act as the Custodian after each Servicing Transfer Date. With respect to the other Mortgage Loans, Bank of America, N.A., acting through its contractor and wholly owned

subsidiary, ReconTrust Company, N.A., shall act as the initial Custodian for Purchaser as of each Servicing Transfer Date.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Purchaser shall not use Seller’s name in connection with Purchaser’s or its designee’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans or ownership of the Purchased Assets after each applicable Servicing Transfer Date, and shall remove all references to the name of Seller in materials and communications used in connection with Purchaser’s or its designee’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans or ownership of the Purchased Assets promptly after such Servicing Transfer Date.

Section 7.21 Conduct of Business Prior to the Closing.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, from the date of this Agreement until the Sale Date or any Subsequent Sale Date, except as contemplated by this Agreement or as required by the Applicable Requirements, the Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed:

(a) amend in any material respect or terminate any Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the expiration of any such Servicing Agreement by its terms prior to the Sale Date or any Subsequent Sale Date shall be deemed not to be a termination of such Servicing Agreement under this clause (a);

(b) sell, transfer, assign, cancel, surrender, subject to any lien or otherwise dispose of or encumber any of the Purchased Assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions;

(d) agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 7.22 No Transfer Without Consent.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, assign, transfer, convey or deliver any interest in any Purchased Assets if a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, or delivery or an attempt to make such a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, or delivery without obtaining any applicable Servicing Agreement Consents would constitute a breach or violation of any Servicing Agreement or would affect adversely the rights of the Seller or the Purchaser thereunder; and any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, or delivery to the Purchaser of any interest in the Purchased Assets shall be made subject to such Servicing Agreement Consents. If any such Servicing Agreement Consent is not obtained on or prior to the Sale Date, then the Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate to obtain any such Servicing Agreement Consent pursuant to Section 7.02.

Section 7.23 Use of Vendors.

Purchaser will enter into discussions with Safeguard Properties Management, LLC (“Safeguard”) and Safeguard Properties, LLC, between the date hereof and the initial Servicing Transfer Date in order to explore and discuss the possibility of entering into one or more agreements effective as of the initial Servicing Transfer Date pursuant to which Purchaser would continue to use Safeguard for the provision of Services in respect of all Mortgage Servicing Rights acquired hereunder on substantially the same terms as contained in the Outsourcing Agreement and Statement of Work (collectively, the “Services Agreement”), a copy of which Seller provided to Purchaser. “Services” shall have the meaning set forth in the Services Agreement. Purchaser will undertake such discussions in good faith in an effort to enter into such agreements to the extent that it is reasonably satisfied with the quality, pricing and other terms of such services as may be agreed with Safeguard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall require Purchaser to execute an agreement to procure the Services from Safeguard either at all or on any specific terms and conditions.

Section 7.24 Cooperation with Financing Efforts.

The Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, provide all cooperation reasonably requested by the Purchaser (that is customary) in connection with the Purchaser’s obtaining any financing required to consummate the Transactions (provided, that such requested cooperation shall not interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Seller), including (i) delivering to the Purchaser (and/or assisting the Purchaser to prepare) reasonable due diligence materials pertaining to the Purchased Assets and requested by the Purchaser’s lenders or their representatives (including information to be used in the preparation of an informational package regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of the Purchaser and the Purchased Assets which is customary for such financing or reasonably necessary for the completion of such financing by such lenders, to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser) and (ii) cooperating with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain Financing Amendments.

Section 7.25 Excess Yield.

In the event that Seller has conveyed or advanced any “excess yield” to FNMA or FHLMC (whether pursuant to any Excess Servicing Rights Agreement or otherwise), Seller shall have no right to reimbursement in respect thereof from Purchaser.

Section 7.26 Subsequent Transfer of Mortgage Servicing Rights

If Purchaser assigns a Mortgage Servicing Right to any Person, it shall either obtain an agreement from such Person to assume Purchaser’s obligations under and otherwise comply with the requirements applicable to Purchaser set forth in Sections 7.12(b) (but with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), only for so long as the applicable obligations under the NMS and HUD Settlement remain outstanding), 7.15 and 7.17, and shall ensure such Person’s compliance therewith.

Section 7.27 Joint Marketing

Promptly following the Effective Date, Seller shall share with Purchaser information regarding Mortgagors necessary or reasonably requested to enable Purchaser, following the applicable Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, to conduct refinancing solicitations of such

Mortgagors and shall use best efforts to direct any refinancing inquiries from Mortgagors to Purchaser, all in accordance with and subject to Applicable Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any refinancing solicitation of Mortgagors by Purchaser based on information provided by Seller, including any references to Seller, shall only be conducted pursuant to a mutually agreeable protocol to be entered into by Purchaser and Seller promptly following the Effective Date (and in any event, within ten (10) days thereafter or within such other time period mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller). Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its Related Parties harmless from and shall reimburse Seller and its Related Parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by Seller or its Related Parties that result from or arise out of Purchaser’s failure to use such information regarding, and solicit for refinancing, such Mortgagors in accordance with Applicable Requirements and the agreed upon protocol. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall neither indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its Related Parties harmless from nor reimburse Seller and its Related Parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by Seller or its Related Parties that result from or arise out of Purchaser’s reliance on the information provided by Seller pursuant to the agreed upon protocol relating to either the Mortgagor’s bankruptcy status or the Mortgagor’s prior notice to Seller of opt-out from information sharing. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller will not provide any information to Purchaser regarding whether Mortgagors in California have opted in or opted out of information sharing or otherwise are eligible or ineligible for solicitation based on such information sharing by virtue of California privacy laws.

Section 7.28 Credit Enhancements

Seller agrees that it shall hold Purchaser and its Related Parties harmless from and shall reimburse Purchaser and its Related Parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by Purchaser or its Related Parties after the Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, that result from or arise out of any “Credit Enhancements” (as such term is defined in the Tri-Party Agreement among Seller, Purchaser and FHLMC).

(e)(i) The failure of Purchaser to service the Mortgage Loans under a PLS Servicing Agreement in accordance with Applicable Requirements by virtue of the failure of Seller to have provided Purchaser by the applicable Subsequent Sale Date with a materially complete and properly and fully executed PLS Servicing Agreement (or any portion thereof or amendment thereto) (collectively, “Missing Documentation”), (ii) any incremental costs incurred by Purchaser in servicing the Mortgage Loans under a PLS Servicing Agreement by virtue of such costs being reflected in or arising out of such Missing Documentation that are not provided by Seller to Purchaser by the applicable Subsequent Sale Date or (iii) any loss or reduction in Servicing Fees or Ancillary Income related to servicing of the Mortgage Loans under a PLS Servicing Agreement by virtue of any such loss or reduction being reflected in or arising out of such Missing Documentation that are not provided by Seller to Purchaser by the applicable Subsequent Sale Date;

provided further, however, that Seller shall not be responsible to Purchaser or its Related Parties for that portion, if any, of any Loss that arises out of or results from Purchaser’s or its designee’s failure to service any of the Mortgage Loans or Mortgage Servicing Rights after each Servicing Transfer Date in compliance with all Applicable Requirements; and provided further, however, that Purchaser or such Related Parties have taken all reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such Losses. Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”), provided, however the failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder unless the Seller is materially prejudiced by such failure and had no actual knowledge of such Third Party Claim, and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, Seller shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser; provided, however, Seller shall obtain the prior written approval of Purchaser before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim that includes any non-monetary relief, remedies or obligations that would be applicable to Purchaser or the Purchased Assets, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Purchaser reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to Seller, Purchaser shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself but shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim

without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any exercise of such rights by Purchaser shall not relieve Seller of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 11.01 or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to cooperate and cause its Related Parties to cooperate in good faith with Seller to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third Party Claim.

Section 11.02 Indemnification by Purchaser.

Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its Related Parties harmless from and shall reimburse Seller and its Related Parties for any Losses suffered or incurred by Seller or its Related Parties that result from or arise out of:

(a) Any breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser;

(b) Any non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in the Interim Servicing Addendum;

(c) Any failure by Purchaser or its designee’s to service any of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Servicing Rights after each Servicing Transfer Date in compliance with all Applicable Requirements, except if and to the extent such failure results from a breach of a representation or warranty by Seller or any prior act or omission of Seller or any originator or prior servicer in violation of Applicable Requirements; and

(d) Seller’s cooperation with Purchaser’s financing efforts pursuant to Section 7.24 hereof, including the arrangement of such financing and information provided by Seller for such purpose and utilized in connection therewith, without regard to the relative fault of the Parties or any other equitable considerations, except to the extent that such information provided by Seller is materially inaccurate;

provided, however, that Seller or Related Party has taken all reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such Losses. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim, provided, however, that the failure to give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder unless the Purchaser is materially prejudiced by such failure and had no actual knowledge of such Third Party Claim, and then only to the extent of such prejudice. Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to Seller; provided, however, Purchaser shall obtain the prior written approval of Seller before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim that includes any non-monetary relief, remedies or obligations that would be applicable to Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Seller reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to Purchaser, Seller shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself but shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any exercise of such rights by Seller shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 11.02 or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, Seller agrees to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third Party Claim.

Section 11.03 Cure or Repurchase.

(a) Seller shall repurchase the Mortgage Servicing Rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan from Purchaser if Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the applicable Investor. Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Servicing Rights from the Purchaser at the Repurchase Price, and reimburse Purchaser for the related outstanding Advances that were previously reimbursed to Seller by Purchaser in accordance with Article III of this Agreement and not recovered by Purchaser, or advances of the same type as the Advances that were properly made by Purchaser after each Servicing Transfer Date that are fully reimbursable pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement and as to which Purchaser is entitled to recovery.

(b) The Purchase Price recapture under this Section 11.03 and Section 11.04 (the “Repurchase Price”) shall be subject to the following provisions: from the Sale Date or any Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, until the first anniversary of the Sale Date or such Subsequent Sale Date, respectively, the Seller shall pay Purchaser one hundred (100%) percent of the applicable Purchase Price Percentage multiplied by the unpaid principal of the related Mortgage Loan as of the date of repurchase; after the first anniversary of the Sale Date or any Subsequent Sale Date and until the second anniversary of the Sale Date or such Subsequent Sale Date, respectively, the Seller shall pay Purchaser seventy-five (75%) percent of the applicable Purchase Price Percentage multiplied by the unpaid principal of the related Mortgage Loan as of the date of repurchase; after the second anniversary of the Sale Date or any Subsequent Sale Date and until the third anniversary of the Sale Date or such Subsequent Sale Date, respectively, the Seller shall pay Purchaser fifty (50%) percent of the applicable Purchase Price Percentage multiplied by the unpaid principal of the related Mortgage Loan as of the date of repurchase; after the third anniversary of the Sale Date or any Subsequent Sale Date and until the fourth anniversary of the Sale Date or such Subsequent Sale Date, respectively, the Seller shall pay Purchaser twenty-five (25%) percent of the applicable Purchase Price Percentage multiplied by the unpaid principal of the related Mortgage Loan as of the date of repurchase; and after the fourth anniversary of the Sale Date or any Subsequent Sale Date, the Seller shall not pay any amount for the related Mortgage Servicing Rights.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Purchaser’s right to appeal any demands by any Investor and subject to Purchaser’s right to indemnification under this Article XI, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser shall be obligated to cure and/or repurchase any Mortgage Loan, if requested by the applicable Investor, if the repurchase required by such Investor results from or arises out of (i) Purchaser’s having breached any representation, warranty, covenant, or other provision of this Agreement in any respect, (ii) Purchaser’s having failed to service any Mortgage Loan in accordance with Applicable Requirements and generally accepted servicing practices, or (iii) any act or omission of Purchaser (or any of its agents or representatives) which caused the Seller to breach any Servicing Agreement in any respect.

Section 11.04 Subsequent Transfer Due to Repurchase.

(a) In the event the Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Servicing Rights pursuant to Section 11.03 or otherwise, or requests a repurchase of Mortgage Servicing Rights related to a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, on the

next available Investor transfer date or such other date as agreed to by Purchaser and Seller, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the related Repurchase Price and any other amounts to which Purchaser may be entitled under this Agreement in connection with a repurchase and Purchaser shall transfer the Mortgage Servicing Rights with respect to such Mortgage Loan to Seller. Upon such date, the Purchaser shall fully release its ownership interest in such Mortgage Servicing Rights and will have no claim to ownership of or any other interest in such Mortgage Loan.

(b) In the event the Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loans pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements, on the next available Investor transfer date, if applicable, or such other date as agreed to by Purchaser and Seller, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or the applicable Investor, as applicable, the related Repurchase Price and the Purchaser shall transfer or cooperate in the transfer, as applicable, of the Mortgage Loan to Seller. Upon such date, the Purchaser shall fully release its ownership interest in the Mortgage Servicing Rights with respect to such Mortgage Loan and will have no claim to ownership of or any other interest in such Mortgage Loan, and shall recognize the Seller as the owner of such Mortgage Loan and related Mortgage Servicing Rights.

(c) In the event that the Seller repurchases any Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Seller, and any party designated as the successor servicer or subservicer, in transferring the applicable Servicing to such successor servicer and/or in transferring the Mortgage Loan to Seller. In addition, the Purchaser shall be responsible for notifying the related Mortgagors of any transfer of Servicing in accordance with the Applicable Requirements. On or before the date upon which Servicing is transferred from the Purchaser to any successor servicer, with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Servicing Rights related to a Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan is transferred to Seller, as applicable and as described in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 11.04 (the “Subsequent Transfer Date”), the Purchaser shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor servicer any and all Mortgage Loan Documents, data tapes, and other instruments necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of Servicing, and shall deliver all custodial and escrow funds related to such Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller and such successor servicer in effecting the transfer of the Purchaser’s responsibilities and rights hereunder with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Servicing Rights related to a Mortgage Loan and/or Mortgage Loans. Seller shall bear all costs and expenses reasonably related to the transfer of such Mortgage Loans (including with regard to assignments (including in the case of any deficient assignments that are re-sent for recordation by Purchaser)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may agree to the continued servicing or subservicing of any related Mortgage Loan by Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof on behalf of Seller, commencing on such Subsequent Transfer Date, pursuant to any existing or new servicing or subservicing agreement with Seller. In such event, Purchaser shall not be required to notify related Mortgagors of the transfer of servicing or deliver to Seller such Mortgage Loan Documents, data tapes, or other instruments, custodial or escrow funds, to the extent agreed by the Parties.

Section 11.05 Compensatory Fees.

(a) As between Purchaser and Seller, Seller shall be responsible and liable to FHLMC for FHLMC-imposed fees or penalties related to any Mortgage Loan foreclosures

exceeding FHLMC’s required timelines (the “Agency Fees”) that pertain to the period prior to each Servicing Transfer Date, and shall be responsible and liable to Purchaser if such Agency Fees are recovered by FHLMC from Purchaser; provided, that nothing herein is intended to limit or otherwise impair the right of Seller to dispute with FHLMC any responsibility or liability for such amounts claimed thereby. Purchaser shall notify Seller within five (5) Business Days of any FHLMC demands for such Agency Fees and permit Seller to reasonably contest and/or appeal such demands (to the extent permissible by FHLMC), and if requested by Seller, Purchaser shall pay such Agency Fees subject to a written reservation of Seller’s rights to dispute such Agency Fees.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 11.05(a), Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to execute a settlement agreement with FHLMC (and shall timely pay any amounts to FHLMC as required in accordance with the terms thereof) within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date with respect to any Agency Fees outstanding as of the Sale Date; provided, that, during such ninety (90) day period, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to determine a framework with respect to the obligations of each party to pay any such Agency Fees, which framework shall take effect upon the expiration of such ninety (90) day period in the event that Seller and FHLMC do not execute such settlement agreement prior thereto.

Section 11.06 Other Indemnification Provisions.

Other than to seek to compel performance a Party’s obligations under the Agreement, the indemnification and cure and repurchase provisions of this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of each Party and their respective Related Parties (a) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the other Party contained in this Agreement and (b) arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either under this Agreement, at law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of any Person to receive an indemnification payment or payment in connection with a repurchase under this Article XI shall not create a right to offset against such indemnification or repurchase payment any fee or payment payable by such Person under this Agreement; provided, however, that such Person shall have a right to offset against such payment any such fee or payment payable by such Person under this Agreement to the extent that such payment (i) has been agreed to by the Parties in writing or (ii) has been determined pursuant to a final and nonappealable award or decision by an arbitrator in accordance with Section 12.10 or, if applicable, a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 11.07 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) In addition to the other limitations contained in this Agreement, the indemnification obligations of Seller under this Article XI are subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser and Purchaser Related Parties under Sections 11.01(a) and 11.01(c) (except with respect to Fundamental Reps, to which this clause (i) shall not apply) only if the aggregate amount of all Losses under Sections 11.01(a) and 11.01(c) exceeds one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Purchase Price actually paid (the “Threshold”), in which case Seller shall be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser and Purchaser Related Parties for the aggregate amount of all such Losses under Sections 11.01(a) and 11.01(c) in excess of the Threshold; and (ii) Seller shall have no liability for indemnification hereunder for any Loss arising from a change in or contrary judicial interpretation of any federal, foreign, state or local law after the Sale Date having a retroactive effect.

(b) In addition to the other limitations contained in this Agreement, except with respect to Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price and reimburse Seller for Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser’s indemnification obligations under this Article XI are subject to the following terms and conditions: Purchaser shall be liable to the Seller and Seller Related Parties under Sections 11.02(a) and 11.02(c) (except with respect to Fundamental Reps, to which this limitation shall not apply) only if the aggregate amount of all Losses under Sections 11.02(a) and 11.02(c) exceeds the Threshold, in which case Purchaser shall be obligated to indemnify the Seller and Seller Related Parties for all such Losses under Sections 11.02(a) and 11.01(c) in excess of the Threshold.

(c) In determining (i) whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.01(a) or Section 11.02(a), respectively, and (ii) the amount of any Loss arising from such breach, such representation and warranty shall be considered without regard to any qualification by or reference to the words “Seller Material Adverse Effect,” “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect,” “material,” “materially” or any other similar words contained therein.

Section 11.08 Survival.

All of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article IV and all of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Article VI shall survive the Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, and continue in full force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter (except in the case of Fundamental Reps, which shall survive indefinitely) and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.08, no Person may seek indemnification, cure or repurchase under this Article XI with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties after the expiration of such eighteen (18) month period. All of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article V shall survive the Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, and continue in full force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter (except in the case of Fundamental Reps, which shall survive indefinitely, and except in the case of Section 5.03 (Advances), which shall survive for forty-eight (48) months) and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.08, Purchaser and its Related Parties may not seek indemnification, cure or repurchase under this Article XI with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties after the expiration of such eighteen (18) month period; provided, however, that, in the case of any Third Party Claims, Purchaser and its Related Parties shall be entitled to seek indemnification, cure or repurchase under this Article XI with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties for a period of forty-eight (48) months following the Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable. The indemnification obligations of Seller and Purchaser under Section 11.01(c) and 11.02(c), respectively, shall survive the Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, and continue in full force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.08, Purchaser and Seller and their respective Related Parties may not seek indemnification under Sections 11.01(c) and 11.02(c), respectively, with respect to a fact or circumstance that gives rise to such indemnification after the expiration of such eighteen (18) month period; provided, however, that, in the case of any Third Party Claims, Purchaser and Seller and their respective Related Parties may seek indemnification under Sections 11.01(c) and 11.02(c), respectively, for a period of forty-eight (48) months following the Sale Date or

Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable. Such survival periods in all cases shall be extended to five (5) years with respect to claims by Purchaser against Seller arising out of or resulting from missing or materially inaccurate Credit and Servicing Files in violation of Applicable Requirements as to which Purchaser cannot determine with reasonable certainty the Applicable Requirements thereof. The foregoing limitations shall not apply with respect to those specific pending claims for indemnification for which the requisite written notice was given by either Party to the other Party on or prior to the end of the applicable survival period and as to which Losses have begun to accrue. The Parties’ respective covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement to be performed at or after the Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, shall survive indefinitely unless otherwise set forth herein; provided, however, that any such survival shall not be deemed, directly or indirectly, to affect the survival periods specifically applicable to claims with respect to representations and warranties and indemnities provided in this Section.

Section 11.09 Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

Amounts paid under this Article VII shall be treated as adjustment to the Purchase Price and the Parties will report such payments consistent with such treatment, unless there is no basis for doing so under applicable law

Section 12.01 Costs and Expenses.

Each of the Parties hereto shall bear its own fees, expenses and commissions of financial, legal and accounting advisors and other outside consultants incurred in connection with the due diligence, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Transactions.

Section 12.02 Confidentiality.

Each Party understands that certain information which it has been furnished and will be furnished in connection with the Transactions, including information concerning business procedures, servicing fees or prices, Non Public Personal Information and/or Personally Identifiable

Financial Information (as those terms are defined in Sections 573.3(n) and (o) of the Office of Thrift Supervision Regulations on Privacy of Consumer Information published at 12 C.F.R. Chapter V implementing Title V of the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act), policies or plans of the other Party or any of its Affiliates, is confidential and proprietary, and each Party agrees that it will maintain the confidentiality of such information and will not disclose it to others (except for its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, financing sources, agents, representatives and advisors who have a need to know such information) or use it, except in connection with the proposed acquisition contemplated by this Agreement or as such Party reasonably determines necessary as a part of its filing of Securities and Exchange Commission Forms 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K as related to disclosures to investors, without the prior written consent of the Party furnishing such information (and provided in connection with such Securities and Exchange Commission filings, the Party intending to disclose such information shall provide the other Party with drafts of the relevant portions of such filings sufficiently in advance of such filing to allow the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment, and shall reasonably consider the comments provided by the other Party). Information which is generally known in the industry concerning a Party or among such Party’s creditors generally or which has been disclosed to the other Party by third parties who have a right to do so shall not be deemed confidential or proprietary information for these purposes (provided, however that the public announcement of such information may be subject to Section 12.14, as provided therein). If Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing is at any time requested or required to disclose any information supplied to it in connection with the Transactions, Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with prompt notice of such request(s) so that Seller may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive Purchaser’s compliance with the terms of this Section 12.02. If Seller, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing is at any time requested or required to disclose any information supplied to it in connection with the Transactions, Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such request(s) so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive Seller’s compliance with the terms of this Section 12.02.

Seller shall be responsible for all fees due to Phoenix Capital Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated. In the event the Purchaser enters into an agreement to pay any finder’s, agent’s, broker’s, advisor’s or originator’s fee arising out of or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all such fees. The Parties hereto shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against any such obligation or liability and any expense incurred in investigating or defending (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) any claim based upon the other Party’s actions in connection with such obligation.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in the city of New York, New York, before one or three neutral arbitrators as described below. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, including in appropriate instances as described below, its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (collectively the “Rules”).

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the dispute between the parties involves the correction of errors pursuant to Section 3.03 of this Agreement, the Parties may elect instead to jointly engage a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized independent accounting firm to determine such dispute. The selected accounting firm shall be instructed to reach its determination within thirty (30) days following its engagement and such determination shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to review by any court of law absent manifest error; provided, however that: (i) the accounting firm’s engagement shall be limited to resolving any amounts in dispute between the Parties based solely on the information presented by the Parties; provided further, however, that each Party shall provide the other Party with copies of information in its possession and control, or that could otherwise be reasonably obtained, with respect to the dispute upon the reasonable written request of such other Party; (ii) the accounting firm shall deliver to each of the Parties a written report setting forth its determination of the dispute along with any related calculations; and (iii) the fees, costs, and expenses of the accounting firm shall be allocated to the Parties based on the percentage which the portion of the disputed amount not awarded to each Party bears to the total amount disputed by such Party.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 12.13 Severability of Provisions.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the rights of the Parties hereto.

Section 12.14 Public Announcement.

No public release or statement concerning the subject matter of this Agreement shall be made by either Party or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives without the express written consent and approval of the other Party, except as required by applicable law, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, judicial and administrative judgments, orders or remediation plans, or any listing agreement with or rules of any stock exchange, in which case the Party required to make the release or announcement shall notify the other Party and, to the extent possible, allow the other Party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, and such public release or statement shall further be subject to Section 12.02, if applicable. The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to (a) develop a joint communications plan; (b) ensure that all public releases (or portions thereof) and other public statements with respect to the Transactions shall be consistent with such joint communications plan and (c) unless otherwise required by applicable law, judicial and administrative judgments, orders or remediation plans, or any listing agreement with or rules of any stock exchange, to consult with each other before issuing any public release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Transaction Documents or the Transactions.

Section 12.15 Assignment.

Neither Party may assign or subcontract all or any part of this Agreement, or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the other party, and any permitted assignee shall assume the assignor’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be permitted to assign (a) its rights and interests in (x) following the applicable Servicing Transfer Date, the Advances and (y) following the applicable Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, the Mortgage Servicing Rights, in each case to be acquired hereunder to any of its financing sources as collateral security and (b) following the completion of the transactions, subject to and in compliance with Section 7.26 hereof, this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including Purchaser’s rights to purchase the Purchased Assets) to one or more Affiliates of Purchaser, but in either case, no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.16 Conflicts between Transaction Documents.

In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Interim Servicing Addendum) and any Transfer Confirmation, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Section 12.17 No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Except as provided in Section 7.09(b) relating to Mortgagors, and the provisions of Sections 11.01 and 11.02 relating to Purchaser’s Related Parties and Seller’s Related Parties, respectively, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties and such respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Mortgagors are not third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, except, if and to the extent required by Applicable Requirements, for the first two sentences of Section 7.09(b).

Section 12.18 Disclosures.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, or in such disclosures, the inclusion of an item in such disclosures shall not be deemed an admission by Seller that such item represents a material exception or event, state of facts, circumstance, development, change or effect, or that such item has or will result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect.
