Purchaser shall provide Seller with prompt notice as to any such Change in Law, change in accounting rules or change in compliance promptly following Purchaser’s receipt of actual knowledge thereof. Purchaser agrees that it shall treat all of its similarly-situated counterparties in the same manner.

(i) Seller shall pay to Agent on behalf of Purchaser the Non-Utilization Fee in accordance with the terms of the Pricing Side Letter. All payments shall be made to Purchaser in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, setoff or counterclaim. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, net such Non-Utilization Fee from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid to Seller. Each payment of the Non-Utilization Fee is and shall be deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable when paid.

(j) Contractual recognition of bail-in. Seller acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding with Purchaser, any of Purchaser’s liabilities, as the Bank of England (or any successor resolution authority) may determine, arising under or in connection with this Agreement may be subject to Bail-In Action and Seller accepts to be bound by the effect of:

(a) any Bail-In Action in relation to such liability, including (without limitation):

(i) a reduction, in full or in part, of any amount due in respect of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, Seller; and

(iii) a cancellation of any such liability; and

(b) a variation of any term of this Agreement to the extent necessary to give effect to Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.

(k) Contractual Recognition of UK Stay In Resolution.

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

For the purpose of this Section 3(k), “resolution measure” means a ‘crisis prevention measure’, ‘crisis management measure’ or ‘recognised third-country resolution action’, each with the meaning given in the “PRA Rulebook: CRR Firms and Non-Authorised Persons: Stay in Resolution Instrument 2015”, as may be amended from time to time (the “PRA Contractual Stay Rules”), provided, however, that ‘crisis prevention measure’ shall be interpreted in the manner outlined in Rule 2.3 of the PRA Contractual Stay Rules; “Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (“BRRD”) undertaking”, “group”, “Special Resolution Regime” and “termination right” have the respective meanings given in the PRA Contractual Stay Rules.”

4. CONFIRMATION

In the event that parties hereto desire to enter into a Transaction on terms other than as set forth in this Agreement, the parties shall execute a confirmation prior to entering into such Transaction, which confirmation shall be in a form that is mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller and shall specify such terms, including, without limitation, the Purchase Date, the Purchase Price, the Pricing Rate therefor and the Repurchase Date (a “Confirmation”). Any such Confirmation together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed to between Purchaser and Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Confirmation, the terms of the Confirmation shall control with respect to the related Transaction.

5. [RESERVED]

6. PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in Dollars in immediately available funds. Seller shall remit (or, if applicable, shall cause to be remitted) directly to Purchaser all payments required to be made by it to Purchaser hereunder or under any other Program Document in accordance with wire instructions provided by Purchaser. Any payments received by Purchaser after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be applied on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) With respect to any Purchase Price payable for a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder, following Seller’s receipt of the applicable Closing Protection Letter and Escrow Instruction Letter, Purchaser will cause Disbursement Agent to aggregate and disburse funds directly to the Settlement Agent pursuant to the related Escrow Instruction Letter for the closing of such Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan.

7. MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) Agent shall determine the Market Value of the Purchased Assets at any time as determined by Agent in its sole discretion acting in good faith.

(b) If, as of any date of determination, the lesser of (a) 95% of the Principal Balance of the Eligible Mortgage Loans and (b) the aggregate Market Value of all related Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions, taking into account the cash then on deposit in the Collection Account, multiplied by the applicable Purchase Price Percentage is less than the Repurchase Price for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”) by an amount equal to or greater than $10,000, then Agent may, by notice to the Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Purchaser or its designee cash or, at Purchaser’s option (and provided Seller has additional Eligible Mortgage Loans), additional Eligible Mortgage Loans to Purchaser (“Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans”) to cure the Margin Deficit. If the Agent delivers a Margin Call to the Seller on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then the Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans to Purchaser or its designee no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day. In the event the Agent delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) Any cash transferred to Purchaser or its designee pursuant to Section 16(f)(ii) herein shall reduce the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

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

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

8. TAXES; TAX TREATMENT

(a) All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon, excluding (A) income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Purchaser is organized or of its applicable lending office, or a state or foreign jurisdiction with respect to which Purchaser has a present or former connection (other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being party to, engaging in any transaction pursuant to, performing its obligations under or enforcing any Program Document), or any political

- 28 -

subdivision thereof, and (B) taxes imposed under FATCA (collectively, such non-excluded taxes are hereinafter called “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due, (c) deliver to the Purchaser, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8(d) below, pay to the Purchaser such additional amounts (including all Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on such additional amounts) as may be necessary so that the Purchaser receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

(b) In addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement except such taxes imposed with respect to an assignment as a result of a present or former connection between Purchaser and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than connections arising from Purchaser having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Program Document, or sold or assigned any Purchased Asset or Program Document) (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts described in paragraph (a) above with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses arising thereon or with respect thereto) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided, that the Purchaser shall have provided Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d) Any Purchaser that is either (i) not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) not otherwise treated as a “United States person” under the Code (a “Foreign Purchaser”) shall provide Seller and Agent with original properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS (or IRS Form W-8IMY, with IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI attached), certifying that such Person is either (1) entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which eliminates United States withholding tax under sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or (2) otherwise fully exempt from United States withholding tax under sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States in either case, on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign

- 29 -

Purchaser becomes a Purchaser. Each Foreign Purchaser will resubmit the appropriate form eliminating withholding tax on payments to it on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission, or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Person as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441-1T(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which the Foreign Purchaser has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document as expressly required under this Section 8(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided under the first sentence of this Section 8(d) or except to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 8, amounts payable with respect to such taxes were payable to Purchaser’s assignor immediately before Purchaser became a party hereto) such Person shall not be entitled to “gross-up” of Taxes under Section 8(a) or indemnification under Section 8(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States which are imposed because of such failure; provided, however, that should a Foreign Purchaser, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall, at no cost or expense to Seller, take such steps as such Foreign Purchaser shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Purchaser to recover such Taxes. Upon the execution of this Agreement, each Purchaser that is a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to Seller a duly executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Unless Seller has received such forms or other documents or information as required by this Section 8(d) to establish Purchaser’s exception from backup withholding tax, Seller shall not be required to pay additional sums or indemnify Purchaser for any backup amount withheld.

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

(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8(a)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such

- 30 -

indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall require Purchaser to make available any of their tax returns or other information that they deem to be confidential or proprietary.

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

9. SECURITY INTEREST; PURCHASER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(a) Seller and Purchaser intend that (other than for tax and accounting purposes) the Transactions hereunder be sales to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Purchaser to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Purchaser’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 to Purchaser a first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets. Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Assets are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Purchaser hereunder.

(b) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Purchaser and any officer designee 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 Purchaser’s discretion, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser at its option may deem appropriate, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Purchaser or its designee appointed at the time of such Event of Default the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, to do the following if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Purchaser has elected to exercise its remedies pursuant to Section 18 hereof:

- 31 -

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

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

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Purchaser or as Purchaser shall direct, (B) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise as appropriate, to directly send or cause the applicable servicer to send “hello” letters, “goodbye” letters in the form of Exhibit D; (C) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Purchaser may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Assets as fully and completely as though Purchaser or its designee was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Purchaser’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Purchaser deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Assets and Purchaser’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.

Seller also authorizes Purchaser, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Assets in connection with any sale provided for in Section 18 hereof.

The powers conferred on Purchaser hereunder are solely to protect Purchaser’s interests in the Purchased Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

- 32 -

Purchaser shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Purchaser nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder.

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

(a) Due Organization, Qualification, Power, Authority and Due Authorization. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and it has qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it is legally required to do so. Seller has the power and authority under its certificate of formation, operating agreement and applicable law to enter into this Agreement and the Program Documents and to perform all acts contemplated hereby and thereby or in connection herewith and therewith; this Agreement and the Program Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby

- 38 -

have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not require any additional approvals or consents or other action by, or any notice to or filing with, any Person other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made, except for any failure to require approval that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Noncontravention. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Program Documents are in the ordinary course of business of Seller and will not conflict with, result in the breach of or violate any provision of the certificate of formation and operating agreement of Seller or result in the breach of any provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture, loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Seller, the Purchased Assets or any of Seller’s Property is or may be subject to, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Seller, the Purchased Assets or Seller’s Property is subject, except for any violation that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

(d) Valid and Binding Obligations. This Agreement, the Program Documents and every other document to be executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement is and will be legal, valid, binding and subsisting obligations of Seller, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except that (A) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (B) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

Except as disclosed in such financial statements or pursuant to Section 14(i) hereof, Seller is not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change with respect to Seller.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 16(f)(iv), on each Monthly Payment Date, Purchaser shall cause amounts deposited in the Collection Account to be released to Seller, which amounts shall be (A) applied by Seller to reduce outstanding Price Differential due and payable in respect of Purchased Assets for which Purchaser has received the related Repurchase Price (other than Price Differential) pursuant to Section 3(g) during the prior calendar month, (B) applied by Seller to reduce the Repurchase Price for all outstanding Transactions, (C) applied by Seller to pay all other Obligations then due and payable to Purchaser and (D) retained by Seller (to the extent any amounts remain on deposit after the distribution of amounts pursuant clause (A) through (C) above).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Collection Account Control Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall in no event cause amounts deposited in the Collection Account to be released to Seller to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit (unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller cures such Margin Deficit in accordance with Section 7), or if an Event of Default is then continuing. Further, if an uncured Margin Deficit exists as of such Monthly Payment Date, Purchaser shall cause the Bank to disburse the Income related to the Transaction for which the Margin Deficit exists to Purchaser (up to the amount of such Margin Deficit), which amounts shall be applied by Purchaser to reduce the related Repurchase Price.

(iv) If a successor servicer (which may be a back-up servicer) takes delivery of such Purchased Assets either under the circumstances set forth in Section 16(i) or otherwise, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account shall be paid to Purchaser promptly upon such delivery.

(i) Servicer Termination. In accordance with this Agreement and the related Instruction Letter, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may terminate Servicer’s rights and obligations as subservicer of the affected Purchased Assets that it is subservicing on behalf of Purchaser and require Servicer to deliver the related Servicing Records to Purchaser or its designee upon the occurrence of (i) a Servicer Termination Event with respect to any Servicer, (ii) upon the expiration of the Servicing Term with respect to any Servicer other than Nationstar, as set forth in Section 16(b) by delivering written notice to Seller and Servicer requiring such termination or (iii) upon sixty (60) days written notice from Purchaser to Nationstar. Such termination shall be effective upon Seller’s receipt of such written notice; provided, that Servicer’s subservicing rights shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence a Servicer Termination Event, regardless of whether notice of such event shall have been given to or by Purchaser or Seller. Upon any such termination, all authority and power of Servicer respecting its rights to subservice and duties under this Agreement relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the successor servicer appointed by Purchaser and Purchaser is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the Purchased Assets for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine. Seller shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Purchaser such documents that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to enable Purchaser to enforce such Purchased Assets and shall perform all acts and take all actions so that the Purchased Assets and all files and documents relating to such Purchased Assets held by Servicer, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Purchased Assets, are delivered to successor Servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the successor Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the successor Servicer’s possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Purchased Assets and doing or causing to be done, all at Seller’s sole expense. All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Purchased Assets shall be the Property of Purchaser. The subservicing rights required to be delivered to successor Servicer in accordance with this Section 16(i) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller or any third party (other than Purchaser) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller other than record title to the Mortgages relating to the Purchased Assets and the right and obligation to repurchase the Purchased Assets hereunder. No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 16(i) shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.

18. REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default (other than that referred to in Section 17(f)), the Purchaser, at its option, shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies and (ii) an Event of Default referred to in Section 17(f), the following rights and remedies shall immediately and automatically take effect without any further action by any Person.

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

(ii) Purchaser or its designee may (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 18(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Purchaser may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets on a servicing-released or servicing-retained basis, as Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets (including credit for the Servicing Rights in respect of sales on a servicing-retained basis) in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. Seller shall remain liable to Purchaser for any amounts that remain owing to Purchaser following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses including but not limited to legal fees incurred by Purchaser in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations.

- 56 -

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

(iv) The Purchaser may terminate the Agreement.

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

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

(d) Purchaser shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser or its designee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, using its rights under a power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof.

- 57 -

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

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

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

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to exercise any of their rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.

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

Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited promptly upon receipt thereof but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours thereafter. Seller shall be liable to Purchaser for the amount of all losses, costs and/or expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate) which Purchaser may sustain or incur in connection with hedging transactions relating to the Purchased Assets, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.

19. DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

No failure on the part of Purchaser to exercise, and no delay by Purchaser in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Purchaser of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Purchaser provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any

- 58 -

attempt by Purchaser to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Purchaser may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies permitted hereunder, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies permitted hereunder.

20. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

No assets of an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.

21. INDEMNITY

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

- 59 -

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

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 21 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Purchaser against full payment therefor.

22. WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS

Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Assets as a result of restrictions upon Purchaser or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that they may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.

23. REIMBURSEMENT; SET-OFF

(a) Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Purchaser in connection with the initial and subsequent negotiation, modification, renewal and amendment of the Program Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all collateral review and UCC search and filing fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for Purchaser with respect to advising Purchaser as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under this Agreement and any other Program Document, with respect to negotiations with Seller or with other creditors of Seller arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto). Seller agrees to pay on demand, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (and fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s outside counsel) expended or incurred by Purchaser and/or Custodian in connection with the modification, renewal, amendment and enforcement (including any waivers) of the Program Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is entered into hereunder), the taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by Purchaser (without duplication to Purchaser) and/or Custodian pursuant thereto or by refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a “workout.” Further, Seller agrees to pay, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (and fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s outside counsel) expended or incurred by Purchaser in connection with (a) the rendering of legal advice as to Purchaser’s rights, remedies and obligations under any of the Program Documents, (b) the collection of any sum which becomes due to Purchaser under any Program Document, (c) any

- 60 -

proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding, or any appeal, or (d) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights of Purchaser. For the purposes of this Section 23(a), attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with the following: (1) discovery; (2) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or case arising out of or relating to any petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, as the same shall be in effect from time to time, or any similar law; (3) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (4) post-judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment. Any and all of the foregoing amounts referred to in this Section 23(a) shall be deemed a part of the Obligations hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 23(a) shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Purchaser against full payment therefor.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of Purchaser hereunder and at law, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) by Seller hereunder or under any other agreement entered into between Seller or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, or any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, or any other collateral (in the case of collateral not in the form of cash or such other marketable or negotiable form, by selling such collateral in a recognized market therefor or as otherwise permitted by law or as may be in accordance with custom, usage or trade practice), in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller of any of its Affiliates. Purchaser may also set-off cash and all other sums or obligations owed by Purchaser or its Affiliates to Seller or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other) against all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other), whether or not such obligations are then due. The exercise of any such right of set-off shall be without prejudice to Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Purchaser agrees to promptly notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

24. FURTHER ASSURANCES

Seller agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to Purchaser such additional assignments, acknowledgments, agreements, powers and instruments as are reasonably required by Purchaser to carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement, to perfect the interests of Purchaser in the Purchased Assets or to better assure and confirm unto Purchaser its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

- 61 -

25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; PRODUCT OF NEGOTIATION

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

26. TERMINATION

This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. However, no such termination shall affect Seller’s outstanding obligations to Purchaser at the time of such termination. Seller’s obligations to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the other Program Documents shall survive the termination hereof.

27. REHYPOTHECATION; ASSIGNMENT

(a) Purchaser may, in its sole election, and without the consent of the Seller engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the Purchased Assets with a counterparty of Purchaser’s choice, in all cases subject to Purchaser’s obligation to reconvey the Purchased Assets (and not substitutes therefor) on the Repurchase Date, all at no cost to the Seller. In the event Purchaser engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Purchaser shall have the right to assign to Purchaser’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties in Exhibit B to this Agreement and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

(b) The Program Documents and the Seller’s rights and obligations thereunder are not assignable by Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Any Person into which Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of Seller, shall be the successor of Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Without any requirement for further consent of the Seller, except to the extent that such counterparty is a Scheduled Competitor, and at no cost or expense to the Seller, each of Purchaser and Agent may, in its sole election, participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents with a counterparty of Purchaser’s or Agent’s choice. Additionally, Purchaser may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents with a counterparty of the related Purchaser’s or Agent’s choice without the consent of Seller other than with respect to a Scheduled Competitor. Any assignment of Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents to a Scheduled Competitor shall be subject to the

- 62 -

consent of the Seller, not to be unreasonable withheld. Purchaser or Agent shall notify Seller of any such assignment and participation and shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and participants and a copy of any executed assignment and acceptance by Purchaser or Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The Seller agrees that, for any such permitted assignment, Seller will cooperate with the prompt execution and delivery of documents reasonably necessary for such assignment process to the extent that Seller incurs no cost or expense that is not paid by the Purchaser or Agent, as applicable. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder, and (b) Purchaser or Agent shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of Purchaser or Agent which assumes the obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder or (ii) to another Person which assumes the obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder, be released from their obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and under the Program Documents.

(c) Purchaser and Agent may distribute to any prospective assignee, participant or pledgee any document or other information delivered to Purchaser by Seller subject to the confidentiality restrictions contained in Section 35 hereof; accordingly, such prospective assignee, participant or pledgee shall be required to agree to confidentiality provisions similar to those set forth in Section 35.

28. AMENDMENTS, ETC.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor any consent to any failure to comply herewith or therewith shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Seller, Purchaser and Agent, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
