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.

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.

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.

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

5

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.

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

6

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 hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance, charter, by-law or rule applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it.

In the event that (i) Seller fails to transfer or Buyer fails to purchase Purchased Securities upon the applicable Purchase Date, (ii) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (iii) Seller or Buyer fails to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof, (iv) Buyer fails, after one (1) business day’s notice, to comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (v) an Act of Insolvency occurs with respect to Seller or Buyer, (vi) any representation made by Seller or Buyer shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated, or (vii) Seller or Buyer shall admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its obligations hereunder (each an “Event of Default”):

7

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 non-defaulting 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).

8

Buyer and Seller 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.

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.

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.

9

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

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 Paragraphs 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

“Price Differential”, for any Transaction and any date of determination, shall be an amount calculated by application of the Pricing Rate for such date of determination to the Purchase Price for such Transaction on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days during the period commencing on (and including) the related Purchase Date and ending on (but excluding) the Repurchase Date. For each Transaction, the accrued and unpaid Price Differential will be settled in Cash by Seller on each Repurchase Date. In no event will the Price Differential for a Repurchase Date be less than the aggregate amount of interest due on Buyer’s Source of Funds plus any related fees and expenses for the related accrual period.

“Pricing Rate” means, for any Repurchase Date or date of determination, the per annum rate equivalent to the costs related to the Buyer’s Source of Funds for the accrual period in which such Repurchase Date or such other date of determination occurs (which costs shall include (a) the costs relating to interest payments on the Buyer’s Source of Funds plus the rate equivalent of the Monthly Aggregate Fees, expenses and any other costs incurred with respect to the Buyer Source of Funds for the related interest accrual period and (b) an amount equal to 0.05% of the unpaid principal amount of Buyer’s Source of Funds).

        (ii) for any individual Purchased Mortgage Loan that is repurchased on a Repurchase Date (unless it is a defective Qualified Mortgage as described in clause (iii)), its ratable share (based on the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Mortgage Loan compared to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transaction) of the amount specified in the foregoing clause (i); or

        (iii) for any individual Purchased Mortgage Loan that is to be repurchased on a date other than a Repurchase Date and for any Purchased Mortgage Loan that is to be repurchased by reason of its failure to constitute a Qualified Mortgage (as provided in Section 8(g) of this Annex I), the sum of the outstanding principal balance for such Purchased Mortgage Loan on the such date and the accrued interest thereon as of such date.

(a) Seller and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its obligations, Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired: (i) all Purchased Mortgage Loans identified on a Daily Custodian Statement, (ii) any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Purchased Assets, including Participation Certificates, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, Mortgage Loan accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, (iii) all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any records or other documents which constitute a part of the mortgage file or servicing file, (iv) the collection account (if any) and all amounts on deposit therein and all Income relating to such Purchased Assets, (v) all interests in real property collateralizing any Purchased Assets, (vi) all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Assets or the related Mortgaged Property and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, (vii) any purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts or take-out commitments relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto, (viii) all “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claims”,

Annex I-20

“deposit accounts”, “documents,” “equipment”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”, “letter of credit rights”, and “securities’ accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the UCC, in each case solely to the extent relating to or constituting the foregoing, and all Cash and Cash equivalents and all products and proceeds in each case solely to the extent relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, (ix) the Servicing Records and the related Servicing Rights and (x) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing (collectively the “Purchased Items”).

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

Seller further grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Seller and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s obligations to Buyer hereunder.

(b) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the expense of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. The Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file any financing or continuation statements under the UCC in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(c) Seller shall not (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Annex II, (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Purchased Items, or (iii) reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all UCC financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken all other actions necessary to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority.

(d) 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, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,

Annex I-21

including without limitation, to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Items without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, 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, if an Event of Default as to which Seller is the defaulting party shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i) 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 Items and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items whenever payable;

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

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Items; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Items; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Items or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Items; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Items; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Items as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at 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 Items and Buyer’s liens thereon and to effect the intent of this 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. This power of attorney shall not revoke any prior powers of attorney granted by Seller.

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Paragraph 11 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items.

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

Annex I-22

(f) If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Agreements and Buyer performs or complies, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate, shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute obligations of Seller hereunder.

(g) Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Purchased Items in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Purchased Items or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of Seller or otherwise.

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

(i) Upon the repurchase of any Purchased Asset by the Seller, such Purchased Asset shall automatically be released from any claim, Lien or encumbrance of the Buyer or the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement.”

In addition to the representations and warranties set forth in Paragraph 10 of the Agreement, each of the parties hereto further represents, warrants and covenants to the other (which representations, warranties and covenants shall be deemed to be repeated by such party on the Purchase Date for any Transaction) that:

Annex I-23

Annex I-26

“In addition, all statements may be made available electronically, such as on a website.”

“19. Intent

(a) Seller and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) It is understood that Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Items delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate the Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.”

Annex I-27

The parties agree that the Repurchase Price shall be due and payable on each Repurchase Date; provided however, that, if such Repurchase Date is not also a Remittance Date and there is no Prepayment Amount associated with such Transaction, any unpaid Price Differential relating to such Transaction shall be due on the immediately following Remittance Date and further, the principal portion of the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets being repurchased on such Repurchase Date may be applied towards the payment of the Purchase Price relating to the Purchased Assets being purchased by the Buyer on such Repurchase Date. In addition, the Seller shall pay to Buyer the related Interest Coverage Amount, if any, on each Remittance Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other document relating to the transactions contemplated herein or in the Indenture, any and all payments of the Repurchase Price (including any Price Differential) required to be made pursuant to the Agreement shall be made by or on behalf of the Seller to the account of the Buyer as set forth in Schedule CA-II to Annex III.

Any payment of a Takeout Price that is made by a Takeout Investor to the Buyer pursuant to a Bailee Letter or Takeout Commitment, as applicable, shall be deemed to be a payment by Seller of the Repurchase Price in respect of the Purchased Assets subject to the related Takeout Commitment. In the event that Buyer, or the Custodian on its behalf, receives an Agency Security in connection with the purchase of Purchased Mortgage Loans (or Participation Certificates) by an Agency or the issuance by an Agency of its guarantee of an Agency Security backed by Purchased Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall arrange for the sale of the related Agency Security to a Takeout Investor for an amount that is greater than or equal to the applicable Repurchase Price of the Purchased Mortgage Loans sold to the Agency. Seller shall arrange for the Takeout Settlement Date with respect to such Agency Security to occur within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Agency Security to the Buyer or the Custodian, Each settlement of Agency Securities with Takeout Investors shall be effected by the Custodian and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of Schedule IV and Schedule V to this Annex I.

Annex I-28

Prior to entering into any Transaction and subject to any additional terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the Custodial Addendum attached as Annex III hereto, Buyer (or the Custodian on behalf of the Buyer) shall confirm that each proposed mortgage loan meets the eligibility criteria set forth on Schedule II (for the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall have no responsibility for verifying the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule I) by performing an eligibility test with respect to each such mortgage loan substantially in the form as provided on Exhibit A hereto.

Annex I-29

Annex I-30

“Confidential Information” shall mean all information disclosed to one party to this Agreement by the other party to this Agreement in written, verbal, graphic, recorded, photographic, or any other form about such Disclosing Party and its business, including without limitation business partners and suppliers, financial statements, intellectual property rights, products, research and development, costing, licensing and pricing, disclosed in writing, verbally or visually, designated as confidential at the time of disclosure or is of a nature that a reasonable person would consider the information confidential.

SCHEDULE I TO ANNEX I OF MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

Representations and Warranties with respect to Mortgage Loans

The Seller hereby represents and warrants as follows with respect to each Mortgage Loan conveyed to Buyer under this Agreement (such representations and warranties to speak as of the related Purchase Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein):

1.1. Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Asset Tape is complete, true and correct in all material respects.

1.2. Payments Current. The first monthly payment on the Mortgage Loan shall have been made prior to the second scheduled monthly payment on the Mortgage Loan becoming due.

1.3. No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Mortgage Loan, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither Seller nor the originator from which Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one month the due date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.

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

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

Annex I-Sch.I-1

1.6. Hazard Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by an insurer approved by Buyer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for an damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums due and owing on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

1.7. Location of Property. Each Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac requirements regarding such dwellings, and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes.

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

Annex I-Sch.I-2

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

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

1.11. No Foreclosure or Bankruptcy. The Mortgaged Property is not the subject of a foreclosure proceeding nor is the related Mortgagor the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

1.12. Valid Assignment; Valid Lien. Each Assignment of Mortgage from the Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from the Seller. Each related Mortgage is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Seller to be a first lien (as reflected on the Asset Schedule) on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the Mortgaged Property. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

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

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

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

Annex I-Sch.I-3

1.12.4. any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Seller to be a first lien (as reflected on the Asset Schedule), on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

1.13. Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and in full force and effect, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to no right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. The related Mortgage Note shall not have been extinguished under relevant state law in connection with a judgment of foreclosure or foreclosure sale or otherwise.

1.14. Origination and Underwriting; Servicing. The origination of each Mortgage Loan complied in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations. At the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf of the Seller in connection with each Mortgage Loan complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of the Seller’s origination, due diligence, underwriting procedures and Underwriting Guidelines. Each Mortgage Loan was originated and currently is in Strict Compliance with the applicable Agency Guide. The Mortgage Loan has been originated by, and, if applicable, purchased by Seller from, an originator acceptable to the Buyer in its sole discretion. The servicing and collection of each Purchased Mortgage Loan was in all material respects legal, proper and prudent, in accordance with customary residential mortgage servicing practices.

1.15. Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation.

Annex I-Sch.I-4

1.16. Custodian. With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Wet Loan), the Mortgage Loan Custodian shall be in possession of each required Mortgage Loan Document for such Mortgage Loan, other than Mortgage Loan Documents that are released pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial and Disbursement Agreement. With respect to each Mortgage Loan Document that has been released from the possession of the Mortgage Loan Custodian under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial and Disbursement Agreement to Seller or its bailee, such Mortgage Loan Document shall be returned to the Mortgage Loan Custodian within ten (10) calendar days (or if such tenth (10th) day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) of release thereof. With respect to each Mortgage Loan Document that has been released from the possession of the Mortgage Loan Custodian under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial and Disbursement Agreement under any transmittal letter such Mortgage Loan Document shall be returned to the Mortgage Loan Custodian within the time period stated in such transmittal letter. With respect to each Mortgage Loan Document that has been released from the possession of the Mortgage Loan Custodian under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial and Disbursement Agreement under an attorney bailee letter, such Mortgage Loan Document shall be returned to the Mortgage Loan Custodian from and after the date such attorney’s bailee letter is terminated or ceases to be in full force and effect.

1.17. Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is either vacant or lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received written notification from any governmental authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. Except as otherwise set forth in the Asset Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence.

1.18. No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

1.19. Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves), if any, are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith. Any and all requirements under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

Annex I-Sch.I-5

1.20. No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

1.21. No Exception. Other than as noted by the Mortgage Loan Custodian to Buyer; no Exception (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Custodial and Disbursement Agreement) exists with respect to the Mortgage Loan that has not been waived by Buyer.

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

1.23. Ownership. Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Loans acquired by Seller from third parties (including affiliates) were acquired in a true and legal sale pursuant to which such third party sold, transferred, conveyed and assigned to Seller all of its right, title and interest in, to and under such Mortgage Loan and retained no interest in such Mortgage Loan. In connection with such sale, such third party received reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration and, in accordance with GAAP and for federal

Annex I-Sch.I-6

income tax purposes, reported the sale of such Mortgage Loan to Seller as a sale of its interests in such Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the pledge of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will hold such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

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

1.25. LTV. As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the LTV and CLTV (if applicable) are as identified on the Asset Schedule.

1.26. No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Seller to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Asset Schedule) (i) the first Lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the first Lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage.

1.27. Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Monthly payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The mortgage interest rate is adjusted, with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, on each interest rate adjustment date to equal the index plus the gross margin (rounded up or down to the nearest 0.125%), subject to the mortgage interest rate cap. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to an adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, are subject to change due to the

Annex I-Sch.I-7

adjustments to the mortgage interest rate on each adjustment date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than 30 years from commencement of amortization. No Mortgage Loan allows for negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is an interest-only Mortgage Loan.

1.28. Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.

1.29. Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy and permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, a review of a zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar residential mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals are in effect. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction (if and to the extent required by such jurisdiction) in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all zoning regulations and building laws.

1.30. No Predatory Lending. No predatory, abusive or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to, the extension of credit to a Mortgagor without regard for the Mortgagor’s ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a Mortgagor which has no tangible net benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

1.31. [Reserved].

1.32. Acceptable Investment. No specific circumstances or conditions exist with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that should reasonably be expected to (i) cause private institutional investors which invest in Mortgage Loans similar to the Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, (ii) cause the Mortgage Loan to be more likely to become past due in comparison to similar Mortgage Loans, or (iii) adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan in comparison to similar Mortgage Loans.

Annex I-Sch.I-8

1.33. HOEPA. No Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan, “covered” mortgage loan, “high risk home” mortgage loan, or “predatory” mortgage loan or any other comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal, state or local law, (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or regulations, or any other statute or regulation providing for heightened regulatory scrutiny or assignee liability to holders of such mortgage loans, or (d) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS^® Glossary Revised, Appendix E).

1.34. Mortgaged Property Undamaged. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings.

1.35. Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified Seller, and Seller has no knowledge, of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act.

1.36. No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause 1.12 above.

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

1.38. Delivery of Mortgage Documents. Except with respect to any Wet Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage (other than for a MERS Mortgage Loan), the policy of title insurance or a title commitment related to a policy of title insurance, and any other documents required to be delivered under the Mortgage Loan Custodial and Disbursement Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Mortgage Loan Custodian. Seller or its agent is in possession of a complete, true and materially accurate Mortgage Loan File in compliance with the Mortgage Loan Custodial and Disbursement Agreement, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Mortgage Loan Custodian.

1.39. Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

1.40. Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

Annex I-Sch.I-9

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

1.42. Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits: Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination and collection practices used by the originator, each servicer of the Mortgage Loan and Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All mortgage interest rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.

1.43. Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan is not convertible to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Loan.

1.44. Appraisal. Other than with respect to an FHA Streamline Mortgage Loan, a VA IRRR Mortgage Loan or a property inspection waiver Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller or the originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated.

1.45. Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.

1.46. No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether or not known to Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to

Annex I-Sch.I-10

the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial inability to pay.

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

1.48. No Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by Seller.

The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms similar to those used by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used.

1.52. No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which monthly payments on the Mortgage Loan are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

1.53. Advance of Funds by the Seller. No advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

1.54. Ground Leases. For purposes of this paragraph, a “ground lease” shall mean a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the

Annex I-Sch.I-11

land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner. With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgage on a ground leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the ground lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that:

1.54.1. The ground lease or a memorandum regarding such ground lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The ground lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the ground lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage Loan File;

1.54.2. The lessor under such ground lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage Loan File (or in such ground lease) that the ground lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the agent or lender (unless in connection with an amendment to correct typographical errors or are otherwise de minimis in nature) and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the agent or lender, its successors or assigns;

1.54.3. The ground lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

1.54.4. The ground lease is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Liens;

1.54.5.

Custodial Addendum

This Annex III forms a part of the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of October 26, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including this Annex III and the other Annexes thereto, the “Agreement”) among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, LLC as seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ Warehouse Securitization Trust 2020-1 as buyer and agreed to and acknowledged by U.S. Bank National Association as Custodian. This Annex III sets forth additional terms and conditions relating to the Custodian’s role and duties in all transactions under the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex III shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. References in this Annex III to Sections shall, unless expressly stated to the contrary, mean Sections of this Annex III.

(a) Buyer’s Account and Seller’s Account. Custodian shall maintain such records and establish such accounts as may be required from time to time to receive, hold and account for all Assets to be held for and on behalf of Buyer pursuant to the Agreement. Custodian shall maintain such records and establish such accounts as may be required from time to time to receive, hold and account for all Assets to be held for and on behalf of Seller pursuant to the Agreement. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Cash on deposit with the Custodian on behalf of Buyer or Seller pursuant to this Agreement may be invested at the written direction of the Seller in Permitted Investments, with stated maturities no later than the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date or Repurchase Date, as applicable. Any losses resulting from any Permitted Investments shall be promptly reimbursed by the Seller prior to any applicable Remittance Date or Repurchase Date. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, earnings, interests or dividends from such investments shall be payable to the Seller. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Cash on deposit with the Custodian on behalf of Buyer or Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall remain uninvested. The parties agree that for all purposes relating to the Agreement, Buyer’s Account and the Purchased Assets, Custodian’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC or any successor provision) shall be the State of New York. Custodian will maintain Buyer’s Account as a custody account and, as requested by Seller and Buyer, as a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501 of Article 8 of the UCC in which a “financial asset” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9)(iii) of the UCC, is being held, and shall administer Buyer’s Account as a securities intermediary in the same manner it administers similar accounts established for the same purpose.

Annex III-1

Any delivery, transfer or other conveyance of Eligible Assets (other than Cash) by Buyer or the Custodian to Seller shall be effected by Custodian’s notation thereof on its books and records. All such conveyances shall be confirmed and further evidenced by the listing of such Eligible Assets on the related Daily Custodian Statement as belonging to Buyer or Seller, as applicable.

(c) Segregation of Assets.

(i) Custodian shall segregate and separately account on its books and records for the Purchased Assets held for Buyer from assets it holds in its individual capacity, for Seller, or in any other trust or custodial capacity.

(a) Seller’s Instructions. On each Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver to Custodian, prior to 3:00 p.m., Written Instructions consisting of (1) an Asset Tape in a format that is mutually acceptable to Seller and Custodian that, among other things, (x) identifies the Eligible Assets proposed to be subject to the Transaction, the Purchase Date, the Purchase Price, the Repurchase Date, the Repurchase Price (or rate), and the Market Value with respect to such Eligible Assets (to the extent such Market Value is determined pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof), and (y) sets forth the Market Value with respect to the Purchased Assets then subject to Transactions (to the extent such Market Value is determined pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof by 4:00 p.m. on the prior Business Day) and (2) if the Purchase Price attributable to any Eligible Mortgage Loan listed on such Asset Tape is to be paid by Buyer to a Third Party Financier as provided in Section 3(a)(iii), identifies the account of such Third Party Financier (and the related wire transfer instructions) to which such Purchase Price is to be paid.

(d) Cash Payments.

Seller shall promptly provide the complete entity name upon request from Custodian. The Custodian is only responsible for verifying the Portfolio Criteria set forth in items (i) through (xx) on Schedule II to Annex I of this Agreement based on the Asset Tape and shall not be responsible for verifying the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule I to Annex I.

Annex III-3

(ii) Determination of Market Value. Custodian shall obtain the Market Value of all Assets to be transferred to Buyer’s Account with respect to a Transaction from the most recently delivered Asset Tape, or from Seller or Buyer as provided in the definition of Market Value. Custodian shall exclude from the determination of the Market Value and return to Seller’s Account any Assets that (x) do not constitute Eligible Assets (including those Assets as to which Buyer and Seller are disputing the Market Value and such dispute is not resolved by 4:30 p.m.), (y) otherwise do not meet the criteria set forth in Section 3(a)(i) or (z) do not conform to Seller’s instructions provided to Custodian under Section 2(a). If the Market Value of Eligible Assets to be transferred to Buyer’s Account on any Purchase Date is less than the Repurchase Price with respect to the Transaction the Repurchase Date for which is the same date, Custodian shall immediately notify Seller, and Seller shall deliver Additional Purchased Assets and/or Cash to Seller’s Account in an amount sufficient to cure the shortfall by no later than 5:00 p.m. on such Purchase Date.

(iii) Transfers Third Party Financiers and to Takeout Investors. Subject to compliance in all respects with this Agreement:

(A) Seller shall be entitled to cause the transfer to Buyer of Non-Pooled Mortgage Loans that are Eligible Assets (each, a “Third Party Financed Loan”) that, immediately prior to such transfer, had been owned by or pledged to a third party under a repurchase agreement or other financing arrangement between Seller and a third party (a “Third Party Financier”), subject to delivery by such Third Party Financier of its release of any interest in such Third Party Financed Loan at the time of its receipt of payment of the amount owing to it in respect thereof (the “Third Party Loan Purchase Price”).

(B) In connection with the repurchase on a Repurchase Date of any Purchased Mortgage Loan that Seller intends to convey on such date to a Takeout Investor, Seller shall be entitled to instruct Buyer to (x) deliver a release of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loan to a Takeout Investor and (y) receive payment of all or a specified portion of applicable Repurchase Price therefor directly from such Takeout Investor, such payment to be made to Buyer’s Account (or to a custodial account in which Buyer has a security interest in such Repurchase Price and from which payment will be made to Buyer upon settlement of such transactions). In the event that such Takeout Investor does not pay the full Repurchase Price for any such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall immediately pay Cash equal to any such shortfall to Buyer’s Account.

(iv) Payment of Purchase Price. Provided that (A) the Market Value of Eligible Assets to be transferred to Buyer’s Account equals or exceeds the Purchase Price with respect to such Transaction and (B) the Custodian has confirmed the delivery into Buyer’s Account of any such Eligible Assets that are Third Party Financed Loans, Custodian shall (x) transfer all such Eligible Assets that are in Seller’s Account to Buyer’s Account, (y) disburse Cash from Buyer’s Account to the account designated by each applicable Third Party Financier in an amount equal to the Third Party Loan Purchase Price owed to such Third Party Financier and (z) disburse Cash from Buyer’s Account to Seller’s Account in an amount equal to the remaining amount, if any, by which such Purchase Price exceeds the Repurchase Price, if any, due from Seller to Buyer on such date.

Custodian shall take possession of each Instrument at a secure facility at one of its offices in Minnesota or Illinois and, during the term of a particular Transaction, shall identify such Eligible Asset on its books and records as belonging to Buyer, and at all other times, shall identify such Eligible Asset on its books and records as belonging to Seller.

(b) Custodian’s Inability to Complete a Transaction. If Custodian is unable to complete a Transaction because Seller has failed to provide complete Written Instructions as required by Section 2 or either Buyer or Seller has failed to arrange for the transfer of sufficient Cash or Eligible Assets to Buyer’s Account or Seller’s Account, respectively, Custodian shall promptly notify Seller and Buyer and await the receipt of such Written Instructions, Cash or Eligible Assets. If Custodian has not received Written Instructions from Seller, sufficient Cash from Buyer or sufficient Eligible Assets by 5:00 p.m. on the related Purchase Date, Buyer and Seller irrevocably agree and instruct Custodian to effect the Transaction as follows: (i) if the cash balance in Buyer’s Account shall be less than the Purchase Price set forth in Seller’s Instructions, the cash balance in Buyer’s Account shall be deemed to be the Purchase Price, the remaining terms of the Transaction shall be determined in accordance with Section 3(a), and Seller shall provide Custodian with further Written Instructions with respect to a recalculated Repurchase Price for such Transaction; (ii) if the cash balance in Buyer’s Account is equal to the Purchase Price or exceeds the Market Value of Eligible Assets in Seller’s Account, Custodian shall credit to Seller’s Account and, if applicable, transfer to the accounts of Third Party Financiers Cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Market Value of the Eligible Assets, and the difference between (x) the aggregate of the amount credited to Seller’s Account and the amount transferred to accounts of Third Party Financiers and (y) the Purchase Price shall be retained by Buyer and held by Custodian in Buyer’s Account. In any event, Buyer and Seller shall remain obligated to each other pursuant to the original terms of each Transaction.

(c) Simultaneous Transaction. Buyer and Seller agree that in effecting Transactions transfers between Buyer’s Account and Seller’s Account are intended to be, and shall be deemed to be, simultaneous.

(d) Ownership of Eligible Assets; Transfers to Third Parties.

(i) Upon the effectuation of a Transaction as provided in this Section 3, until the Repurchase Date or until Custodian shall receive from Buyer a Notice of Default, it is agreed by Seller and Buyer that, subject to Seller’s right of substitution pursuant to Section 4(d) and notwithstanding the credit of Income to Seller’s Account pursuant to Section 3(e), the Purchased Assets, including the assets that underlie or otherwise relate to the Purchased Assets (such as mortgages and mortgage notes), shall be for all purposes the property of Buyer. Buyer agrees, however, that, subject to Section 6 hereof and the Agreement, it will resell to Seller on the Repurchase Date the identical Purchased Assets (and not substitute other assets therefor), together with the assets that underlie or otherwise relate to the Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price.

Annex III-5

(ii) Buyer, Seller and Custodian agree that the Purchased Assets and Cash held in Buyer’s Account from time to time will be held by Custodian as agent of Buyer, that Custodian will take such actions with respect of Buyer’s Account and any Purchased Assets and Cash therein as Buyer shall direct, and that in no event shall any consent of Seller be required for the taking of any such action by Custodian. Buyer hereby covenants, for the exclusive benefit of Seller, that it shall not, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (upon which the provisions of Section 6 shall be controlling) without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall only be effective if a copy thereof shall have been delivered to Custodian), sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise utilize or transfer Purchased Assets held in Buyer’s Account with respect to any Transaction. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, Buyer hereby covenants, for the exclusive benefit of Seller, that Buyer will not instruct Custodian to deliver any Purchased Assets or Cash in Buyer’s Account to any person other than Seller or a person designated by Seller unless and until it has given a Notice of Default to Custodian. The foregoing covenants are for the exclusive benefit of Seller only and shall in no way be deemed to constitute a limitation on Buyer’s right at any time to instruct Custodian to act, or on Custodian’s obligation to act, upon Buyer’s instructions. To the extent not otherwise inconsistent with the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect to Purchased Assets held in Buyer’s Account.

(iii) Custodian shall not be liable for any Losses incurred or sustained by Buyer, Seller or any third party as a result of Custodian transferring any Purchased Assets or Cash in Buyer’s Account pursuant to Buyer’s instructions (whether or not subsequent to receipt of a Notice of Default) and shall have no further obligation or responsibility to Seller or Buyer under this Agreement with respect to any Purchased Assets or cash transferred from Buyer’s Account.

(iv) Except as provided in Section 2(a) and Section 15 of the Agreement, any instruction to Custodian to transfer Purchased Assets or Cash from Buyer’s Account during the term of a Transaction shall be set forth in a written notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix I. Buyer shall deliver such notice to a Responsible Officer of Custodian and shall send Seller a copy of same. Custodian shall, as promptly as practicable under the circumstances, act in accordance with such instructions; it being understood and agreed that Custodian shall have no liability for its inability to comply with Buyer’s instructions if the rules or systems of the issuer of an Instrument prevent Custodian from transferring Purchased Assets from Buyer’s Account. Buyer shall pay to Custodian all applicable fees, costs and charges associated with such transfer from Buyer’s Account.

(e) Payment of Income. Custodian shall credit to the Buyer’s Account any Income with respect to the Purchased Assets received by Custodian. Until such time that Custodian shall receive a Notice of Default from Buyer pursuant to Section 6, Custodian shall on each Repurchase Date credit to the Seller’s Account any such Income that has not previously been credited to the Seller’s Account.

Annex III-6

(f) Effect of Notice of Levy, etc. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Custodian shall not be required to deliver or transfer Assets in contravention of any notice of levy, seizure or similar notice or order, or judgment, issued or directed by a governmental agency or court, or officer thereof, having jurisdiction over Custodian or its agents or affiliates, which on its face affects such Assets. Custodian shall give Buyer and Seller prompt notice of any such notice or order.

(a) Valuation of Eligible Assets. Seller shall deliver to Custodian an Asset Tape on each Business Day delivered in a manner and format consistent with the Data File delivered to Custodian pursuant to Section 2(a). Custodian shall compute the aggregate Market Values and determine the Market Value of the Purchased Assets set forth on such Asset Tape by 4:00 p.m. on such Business Day in the manner provided in Section 3(a)(ii); provided that if there is a dispute between Buyer and Seller as to Market Value that has not been resolved by 4:30 p.m., the affected Purchased Asset shall not be deemed to be an Eligible Asset and shall be given a Market Value that is the lesser of the Custodian’s computation of Market Value and the Seller’s value. The Custodian shall provide a written report indicating the aggregate Market Value for the Purchased Assets, provided, that such written report may be included in the Daily Custodian Statement.

(b) Margin Deficit. In the event the Repurchase Price of outstanding Transactions is greater than the sum of (i) the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets and (ii) cash or the aggregate Market Value of the Eligible Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Buyer’s Account (a “Margin Deficit”), Custodian shall so notify Seller by 4:30 p.m. on such Business Day. By no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date of any such notice, Seller shall transfer to Seller’s Account Additional Purchased Assets and/or Cash such that, after transfer thereof by Buyer to Buyer’s Account, the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets (including Additional Purchased Assets and Cash) equals or exceeds the Repurchase Price of outstanding Transactions. If such Margin Deficit is not cured by the Repo Seller within the same Business Day (if notice of a Margin Deficit is provided at or before 4:30 p.m. (New York time) on such day) or the immediately following Business Day (if notice of a Margin Deficit is provided after 4:30 p.m. (New York time)) the Custodian shall notify Buyer and Seller that a Repo Event of Default has occurred, unless waived in writing by 100% of the Noteholders of each class of Notes. All Additional Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer’s Account shall be deemed to be Purchased Assets.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Substitutions of Purchased Assets. Buyer hereby authorizes Custodian, upon Written Instructions from Seller, to transfer Purchased Assets to Seller against transfer to the Buyer’s Account of Replacement Assets determined by Custodian under Section 4(a) to have an aggregate Market Value equal to or greater than the aggregate Market Value of Purchased Assets released hereunder; provided, however, if any of the Purchased Assets are being transferred back

Annex III-7

to Seller by reason of failure to constitute Qualified Mortgages, the aggregate Market Value of such Replacement Assets shall not be less than the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets. All Replacement Assets transferred to the Buyer’s Account shall be deemed to be Purchased Assets as of the Purchase Date of, and identified to, the outstanding Transaction. In connection with Custodian’s performance of its duties under this Section 4(d), the parties hereto acknowledge that throughout each day during which Transactions are outstanding, Custodian shall be entitled to, without specific instructions of any kind (other than Seller’s Written Instructions), re-allocate Eligible Assets among Transactions as many times as may be necessary in connection with the origination, rolling over and termination of various Transactions and make appropriate substitutions from and into the Buyer’s Account in connection therewith, so long as such substitutions are made in accordance with this Section 4(d) and subject to the provisions of Section 6, and Custodian shall not be required to provide a statement or reconciliation of such Buyer’s Accounts indicating such substitutions except as of the end of each such Business Day, such information to be contained in the Daily Custodian Statement pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 hereof.

Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Date for any Transaction subject to Section 6 hereof and the Repurchase Agreement, Buyer hereby irrevocably instructs Custodian to release to Seller the Purchased Assets with respect to such Transaction and to transfer such Purchased Assets from Buyer’s Account to Seller’s Account or to such other account as Seller may designate in accordance with Section 3(a)(iii). Seller hereby irrevocably instructs Custodian at the time Purchased Assets are transferred to Seller’s Account to make payment to Buyer of the Repurchase Price therefor by debiting Cash from Seller’s Account in the amount of the Repurchase Price therefor and crediting such Cash to Buyer’s Account. If on the Repurchase Date, Seller’s Account does not contain sufficient cash available to repurchase such Purchased Assets with respect to any Transactions, Custodian shall notify Seller and Buyer and Seller shall give Custodian Written Instructions identifying which Purchased Assets, if any, are to be repurchased and the Repurchase Price.

(a) Delivery of Notice of Default. If the Seller shall declare an Event of Default, it shall deliver a Notice of Default to Custodian. Custodian shall notify the Buyer of the receipt of a Notice of Default, but shall have no further obligation or duty to inquire into the nature or validity of the Event of Default set forth in the Notice of Default.

(b) Effect of Buyer’s Notice of Default. If Buyer shall declare an Event of Default, it shall deliver a Notice of Default to Custodian. Custodian shall notify the Seller of the receipt of a Notice of Default, but shall have no further obligation or duty to inquire into the nature or validity of the Event of Default set forth in the Notice of Default. At any time during which Custodian has received a Notice of Default from Buyer with respect to any Transaction, Custodian shall:

(i) give notice to Seller of such Notice of Default and hold the Purchased Assets in Buyer’s Account, or transfer the same in accordance with Buyer’s instructions to Custodian; and

Annex III-8

(ii) cease (A) transferring (x) Assets from Seller’s Account to Buyer’s Account and (y) Cash from Buyer’s Account to Seller, in each case pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(a) in connection with any new Transactions; (B) computing the Market Value of Purchased Assets pursuant to Sections 3 and 4; (C) tendering the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 3(a); or (D) releasing Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 5.

(c) Control. All property from time to time in Buyer’s Account shall be owned and controlled solely by Buyer, and Bank shall follow only Buyer’s instructions with respect to Buyer’s Account. All property from time to time in Seller’s Account shall be owned and controlled solely by Seller, and Bank shall follow only Seller’s instructions with respect to Seller’s Account. If requested in writing by Buyer, Custodian shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, comply with all notifications it receives originated by Buyer directing it to transfer or redeem any property in Buyer’s Account and any other instructions or “entitlement orders” (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC) concerning Buyer’s Account, in each case without further consent by Seller. Custodian shall have no duty to investigate or make any determination as to whether a default exists under the Agreement and shall comply with any entitlement orders or other notifications or instructions from Buyer even if it believes that no such default exists, and Custodian shall have no liability to Seller or to any other Person for complying with orders from Buyer even if Seller notifies Custodian that Buyer has no right to give such instructions. Nothing contained in this Section 6(c) is intended to, nor shall it be deemed to limit, modify or supersede in any respect the rights of the Seller provided in Section 6(d) hereof, it being agreed that Section 6(d) does not and shall not affect Buyer’s control of the Buyer’s Account.

(d) Effect of Seller’s Notice of Default. At any time Custodian has received a Notice of Default from Seller, with respect to any Transaction, Custodian shall:

(i) give notice to Buyer of such Notice of Default and continue to hold the Purchased Assets then held in Seller’s Account or transfer the same in accordance with Seller’s Written Instructions to Custodian; and

(ii) cease: (A) transferring (x) Assets from Seller’s Account to Buyer’s Account and (y) Cash from Buyer’s Account to Seller, in each case pursuant to Section 3(a) in connection with any new Transactions; (B) computing the Market Value of Purchased Assets pursuant to Sections 3 and 4; (C) transferring the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 3(a), or (D) releasing Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Section 5.

(e) Custodian’s Knowledge. Custodian shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of the existence of an Event of Default. Custodian shall be entitled to rely on Buyer’s or Seller’s written Notice of Default received by a Responsible Officer of the Custodian and shall have no duty to inquire into the nature or validity of an Event of Default.

Annex III-9

Subject to any court order, judgment, injunction, stay in bankruptcy, or any other writ or process issued by any court or governmental authority, Custodian shall execute such documents as are necessary to assign Custodian’s interest in the Instrument relating to the Eligible Assets. To the extent any Instrument includes Assets not related to such Notice of Default, Custodian will instruct the issuer of such Instrument to issue in exchange therefor separate Instruments so that the Eligible Assets to which such Notice of Default relates are represented by one Instrument and those Assets to which such Notice of Default does not relate are represented by a different Instrument. Custodian may fully rely without further inquiry on the statements set forth in such Notice of Default and on the instructions of Buyer or Seller, as applicable, delivered in connection therewith.

Custodian shall provide Seller with online access to Seller’s Account reflecting the Cash and Assets on deposit therein and related deposits and withdrawals and shall provide Buyer and Seller with online access to Buyer’s Account reflecting the Cash and Purchased Assets on deposit therein and related deposits and withdrawals. Buyer and Seller shall promptly advise Custodian of any error, omission or inaccuracy that appears in Seller’s Account or Buyer’s Account, as applicable. Custodian shall undertake to promptly correct any errors, failures or omissions that are reported to Custodian by Buyer or Seller. Any such corrections shall be reflected in the online record of the Seller’s Account or Buyer’s Account, as applicable.

Each of the Buyer and Seller acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Buyer and Seller the right or option to receive individual confirmations of security transactions at no additional cost, as they occur, the Buyer and Seller specifically waives the option to receive such confirmation to the extent permitted by law. The Custodian shall furnish or make available to the Buyer and Seller on each Business Day a transaction statement (the “Daily Custodian Statement”) that includes details for all investment transactions made by the Custodian hereunder, including a listing in each such statement, for each Transaction then outstanding, of the Purchase Date of such Transaction, the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction, the Market Value and Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets, and the Pricing Rate.

(a) Limitation of Liability; Indemnification. The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Custodian and its directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all loss, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims, including reasonable fees, compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, servicers, experts and counsel as the Custodian may reasonably employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its powers and duties in connection herewith, and from its action or inaction in connection with the Agreement including Losses which are incurred by reason of any action or inaction by any issuer of an Instrument (collectively, “Losses”), except for those Losses arising out of Custodian’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as agreed by the Custodian or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In no event shall Custodian be liable to Buyer, Seller or any third party for special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising under or in connection with this Agreement. Custodian may

Annex III-10

apply for and obtain the advice of nationally recognized counsel, accountants and other experts and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with such reasonable advice or opinion. Buyer and Seller agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify Custodian and to hold it harmless against any and all Losses (including claims by Buyer or Seller) which are sustained by Custodian as a result of Custodian’s action or inaction in connection with this Agreement (including legal fees or expenses incurred in connection with any action or suit defended or brought by the Custodian to enforce indemnification obligations of the parties), except those Losses arising out of Custodian’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as agreed by the Custodian or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). It is expressly understood and agreed that Custodian’s right to indemnification hereunder shall be enforceable against Buyer and Seller directly, without any obligation to first proceed against any third party for whom they may act, and irrespective of any rights or recourse that Buyer or Seller may have against any such third party. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of Buyer and Seller and shall survive the termination of any Transactions or this Agreement or resignation or removal of the Custodian.

(b) No Guaranty by Custodian. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged by Buyer and Seller that Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of Buyer or Seller hereunder nor is it assuming any credit risk associated with Transactions hereunder, which liabilities and risks are the responsibility of Buyer and Seller; further, it is expressly agreed that Custodian is not undertaking to make credit available to Seller or Buyer to enable it to complete Transactions hereunder.

(c) No Duty of Inquiry. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Custodian shall be under no obligation to inquire into, and shall not be liable for:

(i) The title, validity or genuineness of the issue of any Eligible Assets purchased or sold by or for Buyer or Seller, the legality of the purchase or sale or the validity or enforceability of any Instrument received by Custodian hereunder;

(ii) The legality or effectiveness of the purchase or delivery or transfer of any Eligible Asset or the propriety of the price with which such Eligible Asset is acquired or sold under a Transaction;

(iii) The due authority of any Authorized Person to act on behalf of Buyer or Seller with respect to Cash or Eligible Assets held in Buyer’s Account or Seller’s Account;

(iv) The due authority of Buyer, Seller or any entities for which Buyer acts to purchase, sell or hold any particular Eligible Assets hereunder;

(v) Any reference pricing used for the Market Value obtained from a third-party valuation provider or any Market Value obtained from the Seller or any other Person or whether any such Market Value was determined by the Seller in good faith or in a commercially reasonable manner;

(vi) Any misstatements, errors, or omissions in any Instrument; or

Annex III-11

(vii) Any creation or perfection or any security interest in, or the filing of any financing statements with respect to Eligible Assets, any mortgages, mortgage notes, certificates, instruments or other documents relating thereto, or any Transactions; or

(viii) The creditworthiness of any issuer of an Instrument.

(d) Assets in Default. Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to take action to effect collection of any amount if the Assets upon which such amount is payable are in default, or if payment is refused after due demand or presentation.

(e) Custodian Fees. Custodian shall be entitled to (i) custodial fees in respect of the Seller’s Account, which fees shall be paid by Seller on a monthly basis in the amounts separately agreed by Seller and Custodian and (ii) a monthly custodial fee in respect of the Buyer’s Account in the amount, and subject to payment in the manner set forth in the Indenture.

(f) Reliance on Writings. Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, Written Instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it (including without limitation any of the foregoing provided to it by telecopier or electronic means), not only as to its due execution and validity, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine and signed or presented by the proper person (which in the case of any instruction from or on behalf of Buyer or Seller shall be an Authorized Person); and Custodian shall be entitled to presume the genuineness and due authority of any signature appearing thereon. Custodian shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement, certificate, statement, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document, provided, however, that if the form thereof is specifically prescribed by the terms of this Agreement, Custodian shall examine the same to determine whether it substantially conforms on its face to such requirements hereof. Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge or unless (and then only to the extent received) in writing by Custodian at its address below and specifically referencing this Agreement.

(g) Force Majeure. Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including, without limitation, any existing or future law or regulation, any existing or future act of Governmental Authority, act of God, epidemic or pandemic, flood, war whether declared or undeclared, terrorism, riot, rebellion, civil commotion, strike, lockout, other industrial action, general failure of electricity or other supply, aircraft collision, technical failure, accidental or mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer failure or failure of any money transmission system, credit risks of clearing bank, agent or system and any other market conditions affecting the execution or settlement of Transactions or any event where, in the reasonable opinion of the Custodian, performance of any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement would or may be illegal or would result in the Custodian being in breach of any law, rule, regulation, or any decree, order or judgment of any court, or practice, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action of any relevant government, government agency, regulatory authority, stock exchange or self-regulatory organization to which Custodian is subject; provided however, that Custodian shall use its best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Annex III-12

(h) No Duty Regarding Quality of Eligible Assets. Custodian shall have no liability whatsoever for any Losses arising out of the credit quality of Eligible Assets which are the subject of Transactions in connection with this Agreement.

(i) No Additional Duties. Custodian shall have no duties or responsibilities except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied in this Agreement against Custodian.

(j) Disputes. If any dispute or conflicting claim is made by any person with respect to securities or other property held for Buyer or Seller, Custodian shall be entitled to refuse to act until either (i) such dispute or conflicting claim has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by agreement between conflicting parties, and Custodian has received written evidence satisfactory to it of such determination or agreement; or (ii) Custodian has received an indemnity, security or both satisfactory to it and sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all loss, liability and expense which the Custodian may incur as a result of its actions.

(k) Advances. Under no circumstances shall Custodian have any responsibility, duty or obligation to advance its own funds to or for the benefit of Buyer or Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Custodian (or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents) at any time or times, pursuant to this Agreement: (i) advances Cash or securities for any purpose, including, without limitation, advances or overdrafts relating to or resulting from securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts, assumed settlements, provisional credit or payment items, or reclaimed payments or adjustments or claw-backs, or (ii) incurs any liability to pay taxes, interest, charges, expenses, assessments, or other moneys in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except such as may arise from its own gross negligent acts or gross negligent omissions, then, any property or assets at any time held for the account of Buyer or Seller shall be subject to a right of set-off thereon in favor of Custodian for the repayment of such advances and liabilities. If Buyer and Seller fail to promptly reimburse Custodian in respect of the advances or liabilities described above, Custodian, after written notice to Buyer and Seller, may utilize available Cash of Buyer or Seller, in a manner, at a time and at a price which Custodian deems proper, to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement and make itself whole.

(l) Standard of Care. None of Custodian or any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted to be taken by it (or any of its directors, officers of employees), or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless such action constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith on its part. Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.

Annex III-13

(m) Expenditure of Own Funds. No provision of this Agreement shall require Custodian to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action (or forbearance from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Custodian to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the either Buyer or Seller on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder or relating to this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.

(n) Merger or Consolidation of the Custodian. Any corporation, banking association or trust company into which Custodian may be merged or converted or consolidated with, or any corporation, banking association or trust company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Custodian shall be a party, or any corporation, banking association or trust company succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of Custodian, shall be the successor of Custodian hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto provided that in either such case, such corporation, banking association or trust company shall (i) be authorized under all applicable laws and its organizational documents to act as custodian, (ii) be able to perform each of the obligations and covenants of the Custodian contained in this Agreement, (iii) have aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $50,000,000, and (iv) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.

(o) Anti-Money Laundering. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Custodian may ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Custodian may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

(p) Agents. The Custodian may execute any of its powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Custodian shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney or the supervision of those agents or attorneys, appointed by it hereunder.

(q) Custodian’s Liability. In no event shall the Custodian be liable for failure to perform its duties hereunder if such failure is a direct or proximate result of another party’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder.

Any of the parties hereto may terminate this Annex III by giving to the other parties a notice in writing specifying the date of such termination, which shall be not less than sixty (60) days after the date of giving of such notice. Upon termination hereof, Seller shall pay to Custodian such compensation as may be due to Custodian as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse Custodian for any disbursements and expenses made or incurred by Custodian and payable or reimbursable hereunder. If Buyer and Seller do not provide Written Instructions designating a successor custodian prior to the termination date, Custodian shall (x) at

Annex III-14

Seller’s expense, continue to hold Assets and Cash in Seller’s Account until it has received Written Instructions from Seller as to the delivery of such Assets and Cash, and (y) at Buyer’s expense, continue to hold Purchased Assets and Cash in Buyer’s Account until the Repurchase Date with respect to each outstanding Transaction, or until it has received a Notice of Default in connection therewith and Written Instructions with respect to delivery of such Purchased Assets. If Custodian has not received delivery instructions with respect to Purchased Assets and/or Cash in Seller’s Account or Buyer’s Account, Custodian may, in its sole discretion, deliver Instruments and Cash to Seller or Buyer, respectively, at the notice address provided in the Agreement. So long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, Seller shall appoint a successor Custodian meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8(n) above. If an Event of Default has not and is continuing, Buyer shall appoint a successor Custodian meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8(n) above. In the event of any termination and appointment, Seller shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of Custodian and the successor Custodian (including any costs and expenses incurred in such transfer).

(a) Authorized Persons. Schedule CA-I contains the names, titles, and specimen signatures of those individuals authorized to act on behalf of Buyer and Seller for the purposes for which each is authorized. It is understood that certain designated persons may be Authorized Persons for limited purposes set forth in such lists. Buyer and Seller each agrees to furnish to Custodian a new Schedule CA-I in the event that any Authorized Person ceases to be an Authorized Person or in the event that other or additional Authorized Persons are appointed and authorized. Until such new Schedule CA-I is received, Custodian shall be fully protected in acting under the provisions of this Agreement upon Written Instructions from a person reasonably believed to be an Authorized Person as set forth in the last delivered Schedule CA-I.

(b) Access to Books and Records. Upon reasonable request, Buyer and Seller shall have access to Custodian’s books and records maintained in connection with this Agreement during Custodian’s normal business hours. Upon reasonable request, copies of any such books and records shall be provided to Buyer or Seller at the expense of the requesting party.

(c) Invalidity of any Provision. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

Annex III-15

(d) Assignment to Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer hereby assigns, conveys, transfers, delivers and sets over unto Indenture Trustee, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired, under this Agreement. Custodian and Seller each consent to such assignment and acknowledges that Indenture Trustee shall receive the benefit of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10(d). Custodian hereby agrees to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee relating to the Purchased Assets without further consent by Buyer. All of the beneficial interests, rights, benefits under this Agreement run in favor of the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the noteholders. The Custodian holds the Purchased Assets for the exclusive benefit of and as the bailee of the Indenture Trustee and the noteholders, for purposes of satisfying any of the provisions of the UCC permitting possession by a bailee to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s security interest in the collateral subject to the Indenture.
