4.Margin Maintenance

(a)If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller in such Transactions, at Seller’s option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer (“Additional Purchased Securities”), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount

(decreased by the amount of any Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such ▇▇▇▇▇ is acting as Seller).

(b)If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions at such time (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer in such Transactions, at Buyer’s option, to transfer cash or Purchased Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount (increased by the amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Seller is acting as Buyer).

(c)If any notice is given by Buyer or Seller under subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Paragraph at or before the Margin Notice Deadline on any business day, the party receiving such notice shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Securities as provided in such subparagraph no later than the close of business in the relevant market on such day. If any such notice is given after the Margin Notice Deadline, the party receiving such notice shall transfer such cash or Securities no later than the close of business in the relevant market on the next business day following such notice.

(d)Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to such Transactions as shall be agreed upon by ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(e)Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both) under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess, as the case may be, exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions (which amount or percentage shall be agreed to by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller prior to entering into any such Transactions).

(f)Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any single Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this Agreement).

5.Income Payments

Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income paid or distributed on or in respect of the Securities that is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Securities had not been sold to Buyer. Buyer shall, as the parties may agree with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date such Income is paid or distributed either (i) transfer to or credit to the account of Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) with respect to Income paid in cash, apply the Income payment or payments to reduce the amount, if any, to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Securities sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid or distributed.

6.Security Interest

Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction, and shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the Purchased Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all Income thereon and other proceeds thereof.

7.Payment and Transfer

Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. All Securities transferred by one party hereto to the other party (i) shall be in suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and such other documentation as the party receiving possession may reasonably request, (ii) shall be transferred on the book-entry system of a Federal Reserve Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other method mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.

8.Segregation of Purchased Securities

To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing corporation. All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date and, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.


Required Disclosure for Transactions in Which the Seller Retains Custody of the Purchased Securities Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer’s securities segregated at all times, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means that ▇▇▇▇▇’s securities will likely be commingled with Seller’s own securities during the trading day. ▇▇▇▇▇ is advised that, during any trading day that ▇▇▇▇▇’s securities are commingled with Seller’s securities, they [will]* [may]** be subject to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third parties]** and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions. Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller’s ability to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to Seller’s ability to satisfy [the clearing]* [any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities. * Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. ß403.4(e) if Seller is a government securities broker or dealer other than a financial institution. ** Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. ß403.5(d) if Seller is a financial institution.

9.Substitution

(a)Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇, substitute other Securities for any Purchased Securities. Such substitution shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.

(b)In Transactions in which Seller retains custody of Purchased Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer shall be deemed, for purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have agreed to and accepted in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for Purchased Securities; provided, however, that such other Securities shall have a Market Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities for which they are substituted.

10.Representations

Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing, in the form of an annex hereto or otherwise, in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any governmental body required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions

(a)The nondefaulting party may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately cancelled). The nondefaulting party shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to the defaulting party of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

(b)In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, if the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the defaulting party’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Securities, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by the nondefaulting party and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, and (iii) the defaulting party shall immediately deliver to the nondefaulting party any Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then in the defaulting party’s possession or control.

(c)In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, upon tender by the nondefaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Prices for all such Transactions, all right, title and interest in and entitlement to all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be deemed transferred to the nondefaulting party, and the defaulting party shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to the nondefaulting party.

(d)If the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the nondefaulting party, without prior notice to the defaulting party, may:

(i)as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem

satisfactory, any or all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such Purchased Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder; and

(ii)as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, (A) immediately purchase, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, securities (“Replacement Securities”) of the same class and amount as any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing offer quotation from such a source.

Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the Securities subject to any Transaction hereunder are instruments traded in a recognized market, (2) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Security, the nondefaulting party may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (3) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Securities).

(e)As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for any excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for Replacement Securities over the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Securities replaced thereby and for any amounts payable by the defaulting party under Paragraph 5 hereof or otherwise hereunder.

(f)For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the nondefaulting party of the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph.

(g)The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the nondefaulting party in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

12.Single Agreement

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

13.Notices and Other Communications

Any and all notices, statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a party to the other by mail, facsimile, telegraph, messenger or otherwise to the address specified in Annex II hereto, or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and requests hereunder may be made orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by other communication as specified in the preceding sentence.

14.Entire Agreement; Severability

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

15.Non-assignability; Termination

(a)The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such assignment without the prior written consent of the other party shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving written notice to the other, except that this Agreement shall, notwithstanding such notice, remain applicable to any Transactions then outstanding.

(b)Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 15 shall not preclude a party from assigning, charging or otherwise dealing with all or any part of its interest in any sum payable to it under Paragraph 11 hereof.

16.Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

17.No Waivers, Etc.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

18.Use of Employee Plan Assets

(a)If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

(b)Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.

(c)By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

19.Intent

(a)The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Securities subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(b)It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Securities delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

(c)The parties agree and acknowledge 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 FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(d)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 (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

20.Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a)in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

(b)in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

(c)in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

(a) a reduction, in full or in part, of the Bail-in Termination Amount; and/or

(b) a conversion of all, or a portion of, the Bail-in Termination Amount into shares or other instruments of ownership, in which case the Seller acknowledges and accepts that any such shares or other instruments of ownership may be issued to or conferred upon it as a result of the Bail-in Action.

(b) the UK Regulations have been repealed or amended in such a way as to remove the requirement for the acknowledgements and acceptances contained in paragraphs (I) and (II).

For purposes of this paragraph:

“Bail-in Action” means the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power by the relevant resolution authority in respect of all transactions (or all transactions relating to one or more netting sets, as applicable) under the Agreement.

“Bail-in Termination Amount” means the early termination amount or early termination amounts (howsoever described), together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, in respect of all transactions (or all transactions relating to one or more netting sets, as applicable) under the Agreement (before, for the avoidance of doubt, any such amount is written down or converted by the relevant resolution authority).

“BRRD” means Directive 2014/59/EU establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms.

“Excluded Liabilities” means liabilities excluded from the scope of the contractual recognition of bail-in requirement pursuant to the UK Regulations.

A reference to a “regulated entity” is to any BRRD Undertaking as such term is defined under the PRA Rulebook promulgated by the United Kingdom Prudential Regulation

21.Contractual recognition of UK stay in resolution. Where a resolution measure is taken in relation to any BRRD undertaking or any member of the same group as that BRRD undertaking and that BRRD undertaking or any member of the same group as that BRRD undertaking is a party to the Agreement (any such party to the Agreement being an “Affected Party”), each other party to the Agreement agrees that it shall only be entitled to exercise any termination rights under or rights to enforce a security interest in connection with the Agreement against the Affected Party to the extent that it would be entitled to do so under the Special Resolution Regime if the Agreement were governed by the laws of any part of the United Kingdom.

For the purpose of this Clause, “resolution measure” means a ‘crisis prevention measure’, ‘crisis management measure’ or ‘recognised third-country resolution action’, each with the meaning given in the “PRA Rulebook: CRR Firms and Non-Authorised Persons: Stay in Resolution Instrument 2015”, as may be amended from time to time (the “PRA Contractual Stay Rules”), provided, however, that ‘crisis prevention measure’ shall be interpreted in the manner outlined in Rule 2.3 of the PRA Contractual Stay Rules; “BRRD undertaking”, “group”, “Special Resolution Regime” and “termination right” have the respective meanings given in the PRA Contractual Stay Rules.

The terms of the ISDA UK (PRA Rule) Jurisdictional Module and the ISDA Resolution Stay Jurisdictional Modular Protocol (together, the “UK Module”) are incorporated into and form part of the Agreement, and, for purposes thereof: (a) the Agreement shall be deemed a Covered Agreement, (b) Seller shall be deemed a Module Adhering Party and (c) Barclays Bank PLC be deemed a Regulated Entity Counterparty with respect to Seller. In the event of any inconsistencies between the Agreement and the UK Module, the UK Module will prevail.

22.Notice Regarding Client Money Rules. BBPLC, as a CRD credit institution (as such term is defined in the rules of the FCA), holds all money received and held by it hereunder as banker and not as trustee. Accordingly, money that is received and held by BBPLC from you will not be held in accordance with the provisions of the FCA’s Client Asset Sourcebook relating to client money (the “Client Money Rules”) and will not be subject to the statutory trust provided for under the Client Money Rules. In particular, BBPLC shall not segregate money received by it from you from BBPLC money and BBPLC shall not be liable to account to you for any profits made by BBPLC use as banker of such cash and upon failure of BBPLC, the client money distribution rules within the Client Asset Sourcebook (the “Client Money Distribution Rules”) will not apply to these sums and so you will not be entitled to share in any distribution under the Client Money Distribution Rules.

23.Final Returns. If after the non-defaulting party has completed exercising its rights pursuant to the Agreement (including without limitation under Paragraph 11 of the Agreement, as well as Paragraph 7 of Annex I of the Agreement, the amounts (whether in the form of cash or Purchased Securities) recovered by the non-defaulting party exceed the amounts owed by the defaulting party hereunder (the “Excess Amount”), the non-defaulting party shall transfer such Excess Amount to the defaulting party promptly acting in good faith.

24.Limitation of Liability. Subject to Paragraph 11(g) of the Agreement, no party shall be required to pay or be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect or punitive damages, opportunity costs or lost profits.

(g)Upon Seller’s request to enter into a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(c) and assuming all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3 and in Section 10 of Annex I.A. of the Agreement have been met, and provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the requested Purchase Date, Buyer shall, in the case of a Transaction with

respect to the Committed Amount, and may, in its sole discretion, in the case of a Transaction with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, purchase the related Purchased Securities included in the related Confirmation by transferring the initial Purchase Price (net of any related fees and expense then due and payable by Seller to Buyer pursuant to the Agreement) in accordance with the following wire instructions or as otherwise provided:

Receiving Bank: ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank, N.A.

(h)On the related Price Differential Determination Date, Calculation Agent shall calculate the Price Differential for each outstanding Transaction payable on the Monthly Payment Date utilizing the Pricing Rate. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to each Monthly Payment Date, Calculation Agent shall provide Seller with an invoice for the amount of the Price Differential due and payable with respect to all outstanding Transactions, setting forth the calculations thereof in reasonable detail and all accrued fees and expenses then due and owing to Buyer. On the earliest of (1) the Monthly Payment Date or (2) the Termination Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Price Differential then due and payable for (x) all outstanding Transactions and (y) Purchased Securities for which Buyer has received the related Repurchase Price (other than Price Differential) pursuant to Section 3(f) during the prior calendar month.

(i)With respect to a Transaction, upon the earliest of (1) the Repurchase Date and (2) the Termination Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer the related Repurchase Price (other than the related accrued Price Differential) together with any other Obligations then due and payable, and shall repurchase all Purchased Securities then subject to such Transaction; provided that Seller may, within ninety (90) days of Calculation Agent’s notification of the Benchmark Replacement, (A) give notice to Calculation Agent (with reasonable corroborative evidence upon request by the Calculation Agent) that the Benchmark Replacement is materially different from the successor rate of interest implemented by the majority of financial institutions similar to Calculation Agent for assets similar to the Purchased Securities in warehouse facilities in the United States similar to the Agreement and (B) elect to repurchase all Purchased Securities at the related Outstanding Purchase Price together with any other Obligations then due and payable and terminate the Agreement without penalty or premium on an elected Termination Date that is on or after the date the Benchmark Replacement is effective. The Repurchase Price shall be transferred directly to Buyer, and Buyer shall transfer to Seller the related Purchased Securities.

(j)If Buyer determines in its sole discretion that any Change in Law or any change in accounting rules regarding capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s capital or on the capital of any Affiliate of Buyer under the Agreement as a consequence of such Change in Law or change in accounting rules, then from time to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will compensate the Buyer or the Buyer’s Affiliate, as applicable, for such reduced rate of return suffered as a consequence of such Change in Law or change in accounting rules on terms similar to those imposed by the Buyer. Further, if due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by Buyer with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement, or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority whether or not having the force of law, there shall be an increase in the cost to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions, then Seller shall,

Annex I.A.-37

from time to time and upon demand by the Buyer, compensate the Buyer or the Buyer’s Affiliate for such increased costs, and such amounts shall be deemed a part of the Obligations hereunder. The Buyer shall provide Seller with notice as to any such Change in Law, change in accounting rules or change in compliance promptly following such Buyer’s receipt of actual knowledge thereof.

(k)To the extent that the Asset Base for any Purchased Security is greater than the Outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Security (including as a result of the addition of additional Eligible Mortgage Loans as Participated Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 6(b)), Seller may request (an “Incremental Purchase Price Request”) that Buyer transfer an additional purchase price amount less than or equal to the positive difference between the Asset Base and the Outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Security (each such additional purchase price amount, an “Incremental Purchase Price”). Each Incremental Purchase Price Request and Buyer’s transfer of the applicable Incremental Purchase Price shall be made with respect to the Transaction for such Purchased Security and will be subject to all conditions precedent and other terms required to be satisfied prior to execution of each such Transaction under the Agreement. In connection with each Incremental Purchase Price Request, Seller may direct Buyer to transfer the applicable Incremental Purchase Price in full or in part to reduce the Exposure that is a positive number under the other Relevant Master Agreements identified under the Master Netting Agreement; provided however that pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 of the Master Netting Agreement, BBPLC in its capacity as the Designated Barclays Entity under the Master Netting Agreement shall have the right to require Seller to transfer all or a portion of the Incremental Purchase Price to reduce the Exposure that is a positive under the other Relevant Master Agreements identified under the Master Netting Agreement, to zero.

(l)REO Property.

(i)The Seller may from time to time, in connection with a new Transaction, issue Participation Interests in REO Properties unrelated to the Underlying Assets to the Trust with respect to the REO SUBI, along with written notice of such transfer in the form of a REO SUBI Schedule of Assets to BBPLC (any such date, an “REO Transfer Date”) and shall (x) subject to any applicable redemption period, deliver to Buyer within seven (7) Business Days following the related REO Transfer Date, a foreclosure sale deed or evidence, as described in clause (iii) hereof, that Seller has caused the REO Deed to be sent for recording in the applicable office of the applicable jurisdiction and (y) promptly transfer to the Custodian the related REO Property File as the documents contained therein come into existence.

(iii)For purposes of the Agreement, a Participated Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have converted into an REO Property upon the earliest to occur of the following:

(iv)On any Foreclosure Date, Participation Interests in such Converted REO Property shall automatically be issued to the Trust with respect to the REO SUBI, whereupon the Participation Interests in the related Participated Mortgage Loan shall automatically be extinguished pursuant to the Participation Agreement, and the portion of the Repurchase Price attributable to the related Participated Mortgage Loan shall be reduced by the Outstanding Purchase Price attributable to such Converted REO Property. Seller shall provide prompt written notice in the form of a REO SUBI Schedule of Assets to Buyer upon such deemed conversion.

4.Voting Rights. So long as the Purchased Securities are subject to the Agreement, the Buyer, as holder of such Purchased Securities, hereby grants to Seller a revocable license to exercise all voting and direction rights inuring to holder under the Program Documents; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or direction right exercised or other action taken which would impair the Purchased Securities, Buyer’s rights thereto or thereunder or the Participated Mortgage Loans or which would be inconsistent with, or result in a violation of, any provision of the Agreement or the Program Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license granted by ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the prior sentence is revocable by ▇▇▇▇▇ at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon revocation of such license, Buyer shall not cast any vote or exercise any direction right or other action taken which would impair the Purchased Securities, the Participated Assets or which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of the Agreement or the Program Documents; provided, however, that the Buyer may direct the sale and liquidation of the Participated Assets only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Annex I.A.-39

6.Margin Maintenance. For purposes of this Annex I.A., each of (x) Paragraph 7(b) of Annex I to the Agreement and (y) Paragraph 4 of the Agreement are hereby amended by deleting such Paragraphs in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

(a)Calculation Agent shall determine the Market Value of the Purchased Securities or Participated Assets on a daily basis as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole good faith discretion, including the right to determine that the Market Value with respect to one or more of the Participated Assets may be zero. After making that determination, Calculation Agent may determine the Asset Base of any Underlying Asset on such day.

(b)If, as of any date of determination, the Calculation Agent determines that the aggregate Asset Base of all Purchased Securities is less than the aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of all Purchased Securities then subject to Transactions (such occurrence, a “Margin Deficit”), and such Margin Deficit exceeds the Minimum Transfer Amount, then Calculation Agent may, by notice to the Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to the Buyer or the Buyer’s designee cash or, at the Buyer’s option (and provided Seller has additional Eligible Mortgage Loans), additional Eligible Mortgage Loans as Participated Mortgage Loans (“Additional Participated Mortgage Loans”) to cure the Margin Deficit. If the Calculation Agent delivers a Margin Call to the Seller on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then the Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Participated Mortgage Loans to the Buyer or its designee no later than (i) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day. In the event the Calculation Agent delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash or Additional Participated Mortgage Loans no later than (i) 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c)Any cash transferred to Buyer or its designee in satisfaction of a Margin Call or pursuant to Section 23(f)(i) herein shall reduce the Outstanding Purchase Price of the related Transactions.

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

(e)For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed that Seller shall be responsible for satisfying any Margin Deficit existing as a result of any reduction of the Principal Balance of any Participated Mortgage Loan pursuant to any action by any bankruptcy court.

Annex I.A.-40

7.Application of Income; Facility Fees.

(a)Seller shall have the option to (i) withdraw from a Collection Account all Income on deposit therein with respect to the Underlying Assets and use such funds at its discretion or (ii) cause the Bank to disburse such Income to the Buyer, which amounts shall be applied by Buyer in the following order of priority (i) to reduce outstanding Price Differential due and payable, (ii) to reduce the Outstanding Purchase Price for all outstanding Transactions, and (iii) to pay all other Obligations then due and payable to such Buyer.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Collection Account Control Agreements to the contrary, Seller shall in no event be permitted to withdraw funds from the Collection Account to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit (unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller cures such Margin Deficit in accordance with Section 6), or if an Event of Default is then continuing. Further, if an uncured Margin Deficit exists as of such Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall cause the Bank to disburse the Income related to the Transaction for which the Margin Deficit exists to the Buyer (up to the amount of such Margin Deficit), which amounts shall be applied by the Buyer to reduce the related Outstanding Purchase Price.

(c)If a successor servicer takes delivery of the Participated Assets either under the circumstances set forth in Section 23(g) or otherwise, all amounts deposited in the related Collection Account shall be paid to the Buyer promptly upon such delivery.

(d)For purposes of this Annex I.A., Paragraph 5 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following subparagraph at the end of such Paragraph:

Seller to Remain Liable. If the amounts remitted to Buyer as provided in this Paragraph 5 are insufficient to pay all amounts due and payable from Seller to Buyer under the Agreement or any other Program Document on a Monthly Payment Date or a Repurchase Date, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, Seller shall nevertheless remain liable for and shall pay to Buyer when due all such amounts.

(e)On a monthly basis and on the Termination Date, Calculation Agent shall determine the Utilized Amount, and Seller shall pay to Buyer the related Non-Utilization Fee, if any, on each Monthly Payment Date or the Termination Date, as applicable.

(f)Seller shall indemnify the Buyer and hold the Buyer harmless from any losses, costs and/or expenses that Buyer may sustain or incur as a result of Seller’s termination of any Transaction on or before a Repurchase Date arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by the Buyer hereunder or from actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds

Annex I.A.-41

were obtained (“Breakage Costs”). Buyer shall use good faith efforts to mitigate all Breakage Costs. The Calculation Agent shall deliver to Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in such detail as determined in good faith by the Buyer to be adequate, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be adequate and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller, absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 7(f) shall survive termination of the Agreement.

8.Events of Default. The definition of “Event of Default” under Paragraph 11 of the Agreement is hereby deleted. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under the Agreement, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall be in addition to, and in no way limit, the Events of Default set forth in Annex I to the Agreement and entitle the non-defaulting party to exercise the termination rights under Paragraph 11 of the Agreement:

(f)Any Act of Insolvency of Seller, the Trust or any Transaction SUBI;

(g)Any final judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate (to the extent that it is, in the reasonable determination of Buyer, uninsured and provided that any insurance or other credit posted in connection with an appeal shall not be deemed insurance for these purposes) shall be rendered against Seller, the Trust, any Transaction SUBI or any of their respective Affiliates by one or more courts, administrative tribunals or other bodies having jurisdiction over them and the same shall not be discharged (or provisions shall not be made for such discharge) satisfied, or bonded, or a stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof and Seller, the Trust, any Transaction SUBI or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall not, within said period of sixty (60) days, or such longer period during which execution of the same shall have been stayed or bonded, appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be stayed during such appeal;

9.Remedies upon an Event of Default. In addition to the remedies provided in Paragraph 11 of the Agreement, upon the occurrence and continuance of (a) an Event of Default (other than that referred to in Section 8(f), the Buyer, at its option, shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies, and (b) an Event of Default referred to in Section 8(f), the following rights and remedies shall immediately and automatically take effect without any further action by any Person.

(a)Repurchase Date and Termination.

(i)The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Seller’s Obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Securities at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee any and all original papers, records and files relating to the Purchased Securities subject to such Transaction and Participated Assets then in its possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Securities and Servicing Rights thereon shall become property of Buyer.

(ii)Buyer may (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 9(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all or portions of the Purchased Securities on a servicing-released or servicing-retained basis, as Buyer may determine in its sole discretion and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Securities (including credit for the Servicing Rights in respect of sales on a servicing-retained basis) in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. Seller

Annex I.A.-45

shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Securities shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses including but not limited to legal fees incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations.

The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Securities on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same Buyer, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Securities may not be liquid. In view of these characteristics of the Purchased Securities, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Securities does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Security and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Security upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Securities in the same manner or on the same Business Day or shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to the Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

The Buyer may terminate the Agreement.

Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under the Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller. In addition to their rights hereunder, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or their designee (including the Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to the Agreement. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Securities and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Seller or against all of Seller’s Obligations to Buyer, or Seller’s obligations to Buyer under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other files of Seller relating to the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request.

Annex I.A.-46

Buyer shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets as Buyer determines appropriate, including, without limitation, using its rights under a power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 18 hereof.

Buyer shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Securities, Participated Assets or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Securities, Participated Assets or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder to do. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.

Buyer may, at its option, enter into one or more hedging transactions covering all or a portion of the Purchased Securities, and Seller shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Buyer relating to or arising out of such hedging transactions; including without limitation any losses resulting from such hedging transactions, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.

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 Buyer/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of their rights and/or remedies 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 Seller.

Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, or any guaranty thereof, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Securities or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Securities to be deposited promptly upon receipt thereof but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours

Annex I.A.-47

thereafter. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all losses, costs and/or expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate) which Buyer may sustain or incur in connection with hedging transactions relating to the Purchased Securities, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.

(b)Noncontravention. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Program Documents are in the ordinary course of business of Seller, Trust and Transaction SUBIs and will not conflict with, result in the breach of or violate any provision of the certificate of formation, the certificate of trust, operating agreement and trust agreement (including any supplements thereto) of Seller, Trust or Transaction SUBIs, as applicable, or result in the breach of any provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture, loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Seller, Trust, the Trust acting with respect to the Transaction SUBIs, the Purchased Securities, the Participated Assets or any of Seller’s, Trust’s or Transaction SUBIs’ Property is or may be subject to, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Seller, Trust or the Transaction SUBIs, the Purchased Securities, the Participated Assets or Seller’s, Trust’s or Transaction SUBIs’ Property is subject. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein will not violate any policy, regulation or guideline of the FHA or VA or result in the voiding or reduction of the FHA insurance, VA guarantee or any other insurance or guarantee in respect of any the Purchased Security, the Participated Asset, and such FHA insurance or VA guarantee is in full force and effect or shall be in full force and effect as required by the applicable Agency Guide.

(c)Legal Proceeding. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, or before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller, the Trust or the Transaction SUBIs (or, to Seller’s knowledge, any basis therefor) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the validity of the Purchased Securities or the Participated Assets or validity or enforceability of the Agreement, the Program Documents or any agreement or instrument to which Seller, the Trust or the Trust with respect to the Transaction SUBIs is a party and which is used or contemplated for use in the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, would adversely affect the proceedings of Seller, the Trust or the Transaction SUBIs in connection herewith or would or could materially and adversely affect Seller’s, the Trust’s or the Trust with respect to the Transaction SUBIs’ ability to carry out its obligations hereunder.

Except as disclosed in such financial statements or pursuant to Section 21(i) hereof, Seller is not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change with respect to Seller.

(f)Accuracy of Information. Neither the Agreement nor any representations and warranties or information relating to Seller that Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered to Buyer, including, but not limited to, all documents related to the Agreement, the Program Documents or Seller’s financial statements, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein or herein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the furnishing of such documents or information, there has been no change, nor any development or event involving a prospective change that would render any of such documents or information untrue or misleading in any material respect.

No consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration, filing or declaration with, any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality, nor any consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor, lessor or other non-governmental Person, is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Seller or the Trust of the Agreement or any other Program Document, other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made.

(h)Compliance With Law, Etc. No practice, procedure or policy employed or proposed to be employed by Seller, the Trust or the Trust with respect to the Transaction SUBIs in the conduct of its businesses violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, regulatory consent, order or decree applicable to it which, if enforced, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(i)Solvency. Each of the Seller and the Trust is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to each such Transaction, each of the Seller and the Trust will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business.

(j)Fraudulent Conveyance. The amount of consideration being received by Seller in respect of each Transaction, taken as a whole, constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the related Purchased Securities.

(p)Approvals. Seller has all requisite Approvals.

(q)Custodian. The Custodian is an eligible custodian under each Agency Guide and each Agency Program, and is not an Affiliate of Seller.

(r)No Adverse Actions.

Annex I.A.-56

(a)Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice therefor) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, increased costs and all other expenses including out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and audit and due diligence fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including without limitation, in connection with) (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the Program Documents and all other documents related thereto, any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty or covenant in the Agreement or any other Program Document, and all actions taken pursuant thereto, (ii) the Transactions, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, the Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any acquisition or proposed acquisition, or any indemnity payable under the servicing agreement or other servicing arrangement, (iii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any Property or any environmental action relating in any way to any Property, (iv) the actual or alleged violation of any federal, state, municipal or local predatory lending laws, or (v) the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of any Participated Mortgage Loan due to a cram down or similar action authorized by any bankruptcy proceeding or other case arising out of or relating to any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, in each case, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or is the result of a claim made by Seller against the Indemnified Party, and Seller is ultimately the successful party in any resulting litigation or arbitration. Seller hereby agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, the Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. This paragraph (a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim. 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.

If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under the Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by ▇▇▇▇▇, in its sole discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer and such amounts shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of the Buyer’s rights under the Program Documents.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 12 shall survive the

Annex I.A.-57

payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Securities by Buyer against full payment therefor.

13.Notices. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Annex I.A. to the contrary, all notices, demands and other communications referred to in this Annex I.A. and in connection with any Transaction, including, without limitation, those made in connection with a margin call or otherwise contemplated by the applicable Confirmation, shall be in writing and sent by email, facsimile, messenger or otherwise to the address specified in Annex II (provided that notices of Events of Default and exercise of remedies or under Sections 6 or 19 shall be sent via overnight mail and by Electronic Transmission), or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other.

14.Takeout Commitments.

Seller hereby assigns to BBPLC, free of any security interest, lien, claim or encumbrance of any kind, Seller’s rights under each Takeout Commitment to deliver the Participated Mortgage Loans specified therein to the related Takeout Investor and to receive the purchase price therefor from such Takeout Investor. Seller shall deliver to BBPLC a duly executed and enforceable Trade Assignment on the date such Trade Assignment is executed by the related Takeout Investor. Subject to BBPLC’s rights hereunder, BBPLC agrees that it will satisfy the obligation under the Takeout Commitment to release the Participated Mortgage Loans of a Participation Interest that has been allocated to a SUBI subject to a Transaction to the Takeout Investor on the date specified therein. Seller understands that, as a result of this Section 14 and each Trade Assignment, BBPLC will succeed to the rights and obligations of Seller with respect to each Takeout Commitment subject to a Trade Assignment, and that in satisfying each such Takeout Commitment, BBPLC will stand in the shoes of Seller and, consequently, will be acting as a non-dealer in exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations assigned pursuant to this Section 14 and each Trade Assignment. Each Trade Assignment delivered by Seller to BBPLC shall be delivered by Seller in a timely manner sufficient to enable BBPLC to facilitate the settlement of the related trade on the trade date in accordance with “good delivery standards” of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association as set forth in the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Uniform Practices Manual, as amended from time to time.

15.Payment and Transfer. The first sentence of Paragraph 7 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Unless otherwise agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in Dollars in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim in accordance with the related Buyer’s Wire Instructions. Seller shall remit (or, if applicable, shall cause to be remitted) directly to the Buyer all payments required to be made by it to the Buyer hereunder or under any other Program Document in accordance with wire instructions provided by the Buyer. Any payments received by Buyer after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be applied on the next succeeding Business Day.

Annex I.A.-58

16.Taxes; Tax Treatment.

All payments made by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon (“Taxes”), except as required by applicable law. If Seller is required by applicable law or regulation (as determined in the good faith discretion of Seller) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due and in accordance with applicable law, (c) deliver to the Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to the Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, court or documentary intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Program Document, except any such taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (“Other Taxes”).

Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer within ten (10) days after written demand therefor for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and Other Taxes, paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses (including penalties, interest and expenses arising thereon or with respect thereto) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be, and such evidence shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(1) Any Buyer that is either (A) not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (B) not otherwise treated as a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Buyer”) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of

Annex I.A.-59

withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Program Document shall deliver to the Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable the Seller to determine whether or not such Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 16(d)(2)(A), 16(d)(2)(B) and 16(d)(2)(D)) shall not be required if in the Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer.

(2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Seller is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Buyer that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller on or about the date on which such Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that such Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or about the date on which such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Program Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Program Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

Annex I.A.-60

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) an executed certificate to the effect that such Foreign Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Seller as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

(C) any Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or about the date on which such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

Each Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the parties contained in this Section 16 shall

Annex I.A.-61

survive the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer, the termination of this Agreement, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Document. Nothing contained in this Section 16 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

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

17.Benchmark Replacement.

(a)Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Program Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Calculation Agent to the Buyer and the Seller without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, the Agreement or any other Program Document, so long as the Calculation Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Buyer. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Seller may revoke any request for a Transaction to be made or continued that would bear interest by reference to such then-current Benchmark until the Seller’s receipt of notice from the Calculation Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark.

(b)In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Calculation Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Program Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to the Agreement.

(c)The Calculation Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Buyer of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(d)Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Calculation Agent or Buyer pursuant to this Section 17, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in

Annex I.A.-62

its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 17.

18.▇▇▇▇▇’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a)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 Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Securities and Underlying Assets as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, to do the following if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and ▇▇▇▇▇ has elected to exercise its remedies pursuant to Section 9 hereof:

in the name of 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 Securities and Underlying Assets and to file any claim or to take any other action or initiate and maintain any appropriate proceeding in any appropriate 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 Securities and Underlying Assets whenever payable;

to pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Securities and Underlying Assets;

(A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Securities and Underlying Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, (B) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise as appropriate, to directly send or cause the applicable servicer to send “hello” letters, “goodbye” letters in the form of Exhibit D, and Section 404 Notices; (C) 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 Securities and Underlying Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Securities and Underlying Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Securities, Underlying Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased

Annex I.A.-63

Securities and Underlying Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Securities and Underlying Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Securities and Underlying Assets as fully and completely as though ▇▇▇▇▇ was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and 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 Securities and Underlying Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of the Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

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.

▇▇▇▇▇▇ also authorizes Buyer, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Securities and Underlying Assets in connection with any sale provided for in Section 9 hereof.

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect ▇▇▇▇▇’s interests in the Purchased Securities and Underlying Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Buyer nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder.

19.Release of Purchased Securities.

Upon timely payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other Obligations (if any) then owing with respect to a Purchased Security pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof, unless a Margin Deficit shall exist or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (a) Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated any security interest that Buyer may have in such Purchased Security, (b) all of the Buyer’s right, title and interest in such Purchased Security shall automatically transfer to Seller, and (c) with respect to the related Participated Assets, Buyer shall or shall direct Custodian to release such Participated Assets to Seller or the applicable Takeout Investor, as the case may be. Except as set forth in Section 22, Seller shall give at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Buyer if such repurchase shall occur on any date other than the Repurchase Date.

If such a Margin Deficit is applicable, Buyer shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller may thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 7.

Annex I.A.-64

20.Reliance.

With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Buyer reasonably believes to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf.

21.Covenants of Seller. Seller hereby covenants and agrees with ▇▇▇▇▇ as follows:

(a)Defense of Title. Seller warrants and will defend (and will cause the Trust to defend) the right, title and interest of ▇▇▇▇▇ in and to all Purchased Securities and Participated Assets against all adverse claims and demands.

No Amendment or Compromise. None of Seller, the Trust or those acting on Seller’s or the Trust’s behalf shall amend, modify, or waive any term or condition of, or settle or compromise any claim in respect of, any item of the Purchased Securities, the Participated Assets, any related rights or any of the Program Documents without the prior written consent of Buyer, unless such amendment or modification does not (i) affect the amount or timing of any payment of principal or interest payable with respect to a Purchased Security or Participated Asset, extend its scheduled maturity date, modify its interest rate, or constitute a cancellation or discharge of its outstanding principal balance or (ii) materially and adversely affect the security afforded by the real property, furnishings, fixtures, or equipment securing the Purchased Security or Participated Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may amend, modify or waive any term or condition of the individual Participated Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Agency Guides; provided, that Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any amendment, modification or waiver that causes any Participated Mortgage Loan to cease to be an Eligible Mortgage Loan.

No Assignment; No Liens. Except as permitted herein, Seller shall not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in, or Lien on or otherwise encumber (except pursuant to the Program Documents) any of the Purchased Securities, Participated Assets or any interest therein, provided that this Section 21(c) shall not prevent any of the following: any contribution, sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of Purchased Securities and Participated Assets in accordance with the Program Documents and any forward purchase commitment or other type of take out commitment for the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets (without vesting rights in the related Buyers as against Buyer).

No Economic Interest. Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof will acquire any economic interest in or obligation with respect to any Purchased Security except for record title to the Mortgage relating to such Purchased Security and the right and obligation to repurchase the Purchased Security hereunder and the right to receive amounts pursuant to Section 23.

Annex I.A.-65

Preservation of Purchased Securities and Participated Assets. Seller shall take all actions necessary or, in the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇, desirable, to preserve the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets so that they remain subject to a first priority perfected security interest hereunder or under any other applicable Program Document and deliver evidence that such actions have been taken, including, without limitation, duly executed and filed Uniform Commercial Code financing statements on Form UCC1. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will comply and shall cause the Trust to comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and other laws of any Governmental Authority applicable to Seller relating to the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets and cause the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets to comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and other laws of any such Governmental Authority. Seller will not allow any default to occur for which Seller is responsible under any Purchased Securities, Participated Assets or any Program Documents and Seller shall fully perform or cause to be performed when due all of its obligations under any Purchased Securities, Participated Assets or the Program Documents.

Maintenance of Papers, Records and Files.

Seller shall maintain all Records relating to the Purchased Securities and Participated Assets not in the possession of Custodian in good and complete condition in accordance with industry practices and preserve them against loss. Seller shall collect and maintain or cause to be collected and maintained all such Records in accordance with industry custom and practice, and all such Records shall be in Buyer’s or Custodian’s possession unless Buyer otherwise approves in writing. Seller will not cause or authorize any such papers, records or files that are an original or an only copy to leave Custodian’s possession, except for individual items removed in connection with servicing a specific Mortgage Loan, in which event Seller will obtain or cause to be obtained a receipt from the Custodian for any such paper, record or file, or as otherwise permitted under the Custodial Agreement.

For so long as Buyer has an interest in or Lien on any Purchased Security, Seller will hold or cause to be held all related Records for the sole benefit of Buyer.

Upon reasonable advance notice from Custodian or Buyer, Seller shall (x) make any and all such Records available to Custodian for examination, either by its own officers or employees, or by agents or contractors, or both, and make copies of all or any portion thereof, (y) permit Buyer or its authorized agents to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Seller with its chief operating officer and chief financial officer and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Seller with its independent certified public accountants.

23.Servicing of the Mortgage Loans; Servicer Termination.

(a)Seller to Subservice.

Upon payment of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall beneficially own, through its ownership of the Purchased Securities, Participation Interests in respect of the servicing rights related to the Participated Assets, including the Mortgage Loan File related to Participated Mortgage Loans. Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ agree and acknowledge that the Participated Assets subject to the Purchased Securities include certain Servicing Rights and that Buyer is engaging and hereby does engage Servicer to provide subservicing of each such Participated Asset for the benefit of Buyer.

So long as an Underlying Asset remains a Participated Asset, Seller and Servicer shall neither assign, encumber or pledge its obligation to subservice the Participated Assets in whole or in part, nor delegate its rights or duties under the Agreement (to other than a subservicer) without the prior written consent of Buyer, the granting of which consent shall be in the sole discretion of Buyer. Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) ▇▇▇▇▇ is entering into the Agreement in reliance upon Servicer’s representations as to the adequacy of its financial standing, servicing facilities, personnel, records, procedures, reputation and integrity, and the continuance thereof; and (ii) Servicer’s engagement hereunder to provide mortgage servicing for the benefit of Buyer is intended by the parties to be a “personal service contract” and Servicer is hereunder intended by the parties to be an “independent contractor”.

Servicer shall subservice and administer the Participated Assets in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, in each case, on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of Buyer. Servicer shall have no right to modify or alter the terms of any such Participated Mortgage Loan or consent to the modification or alteration of the terms of any Participated Mortgage Loan except in Strict Compliance with the related Agency Program. Servicer shall at all times maintain accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Participated Assets, and Buyer may, at any time during Servicer’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such

Annex I.A.-74

Servicing Records. Servicer agrees that Buyer, though its ownership of the Purchased Securities, is the 100% beneficial owner of all Servicing Records relating to the Participated Assets. Servicer covenants to hold or cause to be held such Servicing Records for the benefit of Buyer and to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request or otherwise as required by operation of this Section 23.

Servicing Term. Seller shall service or cause the Servicer to service such Participated Assets on behalf of Buyer commencing as of the related Purchase Date until the first next Monthly Payment Date, which term may be extended in writing by Buyer in its sole discretion, until the next following Monthly Payment Date (each, a “Servicing Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, that Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Seller, in its capacity as servicer, or any Servicer at any time following a Servicer Termination Event. If such Servicing Term is not extended by Buyer or if Buyer has terminated Seller, in its capacity as servicer, or Servicer as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, Seller shall transfer or shall cause such Servicer to transfer such servicing to Buyer or its designee at no cost or expense to Buyer as provided in Section 21(t). Seller, in its capacity as servicer, shall hold or cause to be held all Escrow Payments collected with respect to the Participated Mortgage Loans it or a Servicer is subservicing on behalf of purchaser in segregated accounts for the sole benefit of the related Mortgagor and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected. If Seller or Servicer should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, it or the Servicer has failed to fully perform its servicing obligations in any material respect with respect to the Participated Assets it is subservicing on behalf of Buyer, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

Servicing Reports. As requested by Buyer from time to time, Seller shall furnish to Buyer and Verification Agent reports in form and scope satisfactory to Buyer, setting forth (i) data regarding the performance of the individual Participated Mortgage Loans, (ii) a summary report of all Participated Mortgage Loans serviced by the Seller and originated pursuant to an Agency Guide, HUD and/or FHA guidelines (on a portfolio basis) and all Participated REO Properties serviced by the Seller, in each case, for the immediately preceding month, including, without limitation, all collections, delinquencies, defaults, defects, claim rates, losses and recoveries and (iii) any other information reasonably requested by Buyer or Verification Agent.

Backup Servicer. The Buyer, in its sole discretion, may appoint a backup servicer at any time during the term of the Agreement. In such event, Seller shall commence monthly delivery to such backup servicer of the servicing information required to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 23(c) hereof and any other information reasonably requested by backup servicer, all in a format that is reasonably acceptable to such backup servicer. Buyer shall pay all costs and expenses of

Annex I.A.-75

such backup servicer, including, but not limited to all fees of such backup servicer in connection with the processing of such information and the maintenance of a servicing file with respect to the Underlying Assets. Seller shall cooperate fully with such backup servicer in the event of a transfer of servicing hereunder and will provide such backup servicer with all documents and information necessary for such backup servicer to assume the servicing of the Underlying Assets.

Collection Account. Prior to the initial Purchase Date, Seller shall establish and maintain a separate account (the “Collection Account”). Such account shall be subject to the Collection Account Control Agreement. The Seller shall deposit or credit to the Collection Account all amounts collected on account of the Participated Assets within two (2) Business Days of receipt and such amounts shall be deposited or credited irrespective of any right of setoff or counterclaim arising in favor of Seller (or any third party claiming through it) under any other agreement or arrangement. Amounts on deposit in the Collection Account shall be distributed as provided in Section 23(f). Seller shall have the right to withdraw amounts on deposit therein at any time subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7(a) and (c); provided, that Buyer shall have the right to block such withdrawals at any time by providing written notice thereof to Seller and Bank in accordance with the terms of the Collection Account Control Agreement. Seller shall deliver, or cause Bank to deliver, to Buyer, daily account statements in respect of the Collection Account.

Income Payments.

Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Security subject to that Transaction, (i) Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited such Income into the Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days upon receipt and identification thereof, and (ii) such Income shall be the Property of Buyer subject to Section 7(a) through (c) of this Annex I.A. below. The Collection Account shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Collection Account Control Agreement.

Annex I.A.-76

Servicer Termination. Buyer, in its sole discretion, may terminate Seller’s rights and obligations as subservicer of the affected Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and require Seller to deliver the related Servicing Records to Buyer or its designee upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) upon the expiration of the Servicing Term as set forth in Section 23(b) by delivering written notice to Seller requiring such termination. Such termination shall be effective upon Seller’s receipt of such written notice; provided, that Seller’s subservicing rights shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 8(u), regardless of whether notice of such event shall have been given to or by Buyer or Seller. Upon any such termination, all authority and power of Seller respecting its rights to subservice and duties under the Agreement relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the successor servicer appointed by ▇▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇▇ is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for such price and on such terms and conditions as Buyer shall reasonably determine. Seller shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Buyer such documents that Buyer deem necessary or appropriate to enable Buyer to enforce such Mortgage Loans and manage such REO Properties and shall perform all acts and take all actions so that the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties held by Seller, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, are delivered to a successor servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the successor servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the successor servicer’s possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and doing or causing to be done, all at Seller’s sole expense. To the extent that the approval of the Applicable Agency is required for any such sale or transfer, Seller shall fully cooperate with Buyer to obtain such approval. All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be the Property of Buyer. The subservicing rights required to be delivered to the successor servicer in accordance with this Section 23(g) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller or any third party (other than Buyer) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller other than record title to the Mortgages relating to the Mortgage Loans and the right and obligation to repurchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties hereunder. No exercise by Buyer of its rights under this Section 23(g) shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of the Agreement.

Seller hereby

Annex I.A.-84

represents and warrants to Buyer, and shall on and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction and on and as of each date thereafter through and including the related Repurchase Date be deemed to represent and warrant to Buyer that:

(a)(i) Neither the Seller, nor the Parent Company nor, to the Seller’s actual knowledge, any director, officer, or employee of the Seller or any of its subsidiaries, or to the Seller’s actual knowledge, any Originator of an Underlying Asset is named on the list of Specifically Designated Nationals maintained by OFAC or any similar sanctions list issued by OFAC, OFSI, or any other Governmental Authority (collectively, the “Sanctions Lists”) or is located, organized, or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the target of sanctions imposed by OFAC, OFSI, or any other Governmental Authority; (ii) no Person or Persons on the Sanctions Lists owns, whether individually or in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, a fifty percent or greater interest in, or otherwise controls, the Seller, the Parent Company or, to the Seller’s actual knowledge, any Originator; and (iii) to the knowledge of the Seller, the Buyer is not precluded by any Economic and Trade Sanctions and Anti-Terrorism Laws from entering into the Agreement or any transactions pursuant to the Agreement with the Seller due to the ownership or control by any person or entity of stocks, shares, bonds, debentures, notes, drafts or other securities or obligations of the Seller.

(i) Seller will not conduct business with or engage in any transaction with any Obligor that the Seller knows, after reasonable diligence or after being notified by an Originator of an Underlying Asset, (x) is named on any of the Sanctions Lists or is located, organized, or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government currently is, the target of sanctions imposed by OFAC or any other Governmental Authority; (y) is owned fifty percent or more, directly or indirectly, or otherwise controlled, by a Person named on any Sanctions List; (ii) if the Seller obtains actual knowledge, after reasonable due diligence, that any Obligor is named on any of the Sanctions Lists or that any Person or Persons on the Sanctions Lists owns, whether individually or in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, a fifty percent or greater interest in, or otherwise controls, the Obligor, the Seller, or any Originator, as applicable, Seller will give prompt written notice to the Buyer of such fact or facts; and (iii) the Seller will (x) comply at all times with the requirements of the Economic and Trade Sanctions and Anti-Terrorism Laws applicable to any transactions, dealings or other actions relating to the Agreement and (y) will, upon the Buyer’s reasonable request from time to time during the term of the Agreement, deliver a certification confirming its compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section 39.

40.Notice Regarding Client Money Rules.

▇▇▇▇▇, as a CRD credit institution (as such term is defined in the rules of the FCA), holds all money received and held by it hereunder as banker and not as trustee. Accordingly, money that is received and held by ▇▇▇▇▇ from Seller will not be held in accordance with the provisions of the FCA’s Client Asset Sourcebook relating to client money (the “Client

Annex I.A.-85

Money Rules”) and will not be subject to the statutory trust provided for under the Client Money Rules.

In particular, Buyer shall not segregate money received by it from Seller from Buyer money and Buyer shall not be liable to account to you for any profits made by Buyer use as banker of such cash and upon failure of Buyer, the client money distribution rules within the Client Asset Sourcebook (the “Client Money Distribution Rules”) will not apply to these sums and so you will not be entitled to share in any distribution under the Client Money Distribution Rules.

41.Delay Not Waiver; Remedies Are Cumulative.

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay by ▇▇▇▇▇ in exercising, 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 permitted hereunder, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies permitted hereunder.

42.Entire Agreement; Product Of Negotiation.

The Agreement supersedes and integrates all previous negotiations, contracts, agreements and understandings among the parties relating to the Underlying Assets and Additional Participated Mortgage Loans, and it, together with the other Program Documents, and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, contains the entire final agreement of the parties. No prior negotiation, agreement, understanding or prior contract shall have any validity hereafter.

43.Contractual Recognition of UK Stay In Resolution.

(a)Where a resolution measure is taken in relation to any BRRD undertaking or any member of the same group as that BRRD undertaking and that BRRD undertaking or any member of the same group as that BRRD undertaking is a party to the Agreement (any such party to the Agreement being an “Affected Party”), each other party to the Agreement agrees that it shall only be entitled to exercise any termination right under the Agreement against the Affected Party to the extent that it would be entitled to do so under the Special Resolution Regime if the Agreement were governed by the laws of any part of the United Kingdom.

(a)For the purpose of this Section 43, “resolution measure” means a ‘crisis prevention measure’, ‘crisis management measure’ or ‘recognised third-country resolution action’, each with the meaning given in the “PRA Rulebook: CRR Firms and Non-Authorised Persons: Stay in Resolution Instrument 2015”, as may

Annex I.A.-86

be amended from time to time (the “PRA Contractual Stay Rules”), provided, however, that ‘crisis prevention measure’ shall be interpreted in the manner outlined in Rule 2.3 of the PRA Contractual Stay Rules ; “BRRD undertaking”, “group”, “Special Resolution Regime” and “termination right” have the respective meanings given in the PRA Contractual Stay Rules.

(r)Following the related date of conversion, each REO Property is covered by an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy, insuring the Seller as fee owner, or an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy, insuring the Seller as fee owner by virtue of it having succeeded to the interests of the borrower with respect to the insured mortgage loan, issued by a title insurer generally acceptable to institutional lenders, ensuring that the Seller, is the holder of good and marketable, fee simple title to the REO Property. The Seller or Trust with respect to the REO SUBI is the sole insured of such lender’s or owner’s title insurance policy, as applicable, and such lender’s or owner’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon a sale of the REO Properties to Buyer. To the Seller’s knowledge no claims have been made under such owner’s title insurance policy by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller has not taken or failed to take, an act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such owner’s title insurance policy.

(s)Each REO Property is covered by FHA Mortgage Insurance (including, without limitation, with respect to Part A FHA Claims and Part B FHA Claims) and there exists no impairment to full recovery in accordance with the terms of such FHA Mortgage Insurance without indemnity to HUD or the FHA under the FHA Mortgage Insurance. All necessary steps have been taken to keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable and each of such is the binding, valid and enforceable obligation of the FHA to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense. There are no circumstances existing with respect to each REO Property that would permit HUD or the FHA, as applicable, to deny coverage under any applicable insurance or guaranty.

Exhibit D-2 to Annex I.A.

NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR TRANSFER

OF SERVICING RIGHTS

You are hereby notified that the servicing of your mortgage loan, that is the right to collect payments from you, is being assigned, sold or transferred.

The assignment, sale or transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loan does not affect any term or condition of the mortgage instruments, other than the terms directly related to the servicing of your loan.

Except in limited circumstances, the law requires that your present servicer send you a notice at least 15 days before the effective date, or at closing. Your new servicer must also send you this notice no later than 15 days after this effective date.

This notification is a requirement of Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) (12 U.S.C. 2605). You should also be aware of the following information, which is set out in more detail in Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605).

During the 60 day period following the effective date of the transfer of the loan servicing, a loan payment received by your old servicer before its due date may not be treated by the new loan servicer as late, and a late fee may not be imposed upon you.

Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605) gives you certain consumer rights. If you send a “qualified written request” to you loan servicer concerning the servicing of your loan, your servicer must provide you with a written acknowledgement within 20 Business Days of receipt of your request. A “qualified written request” is written correspondence, other than notice on a payment coupon or other payment medium supplied by the servicer, which includes your name and account number and your reasons for the request. If you want to send a “qualified written request” regarding the servicing of your loan, it must be sent to this address:

___________________

[Address]

No later than 60 Business Days after receiving your request, your servicer must make any appropriate corrections to your account, and must provide you with a written clarification regarding any dispute. During this 60 Business Day period, your servicer may not provide information to a consumer reporting agency concerning any overdue payment related to such period or qualified written request. However, this does not prevent the servicer from initiating foreclosure if proper grounds exist under the mortgage documents.

A Business Day is any day excluding legal public holidays (State or federal), Saturday and Sunday.

Section 6 of RESPA also provides for damages and costs for individuals or classes of individuals, in circumstances where servicers are shown to have violated the requirements of that Section. You should seek legal advice if you believe your rights have been violated.

Exhibit D-3 to Annex I.A.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ DISCLOSURE – For your protection, please be advised that we are attempting to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. Calls will be monitored and recorded for quality assurance purposes. If you do not wish for your call to be recorded please notify the customer service associate when calling.

BANKRUPTCY INSTRUCTION – Attention to any customer in Bankruptcy or who has received a bankruptcy discharge of this debt. Please be advised that this letter constitutes neither a demand for payment of the captioned debt nor a notice of personal liability to any recipient hereof who might have received a discharge of such debt in accordance with applicable bankruptcy laws or who might be subject to the automatic stay of Section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. However, it may be a notice of possible enforcement of our lien against the collateral property, which has not been discharged in your bankruptcy.
