Each Confirmation delivered by Seller hereunder shall constitute a certification by Seller that all the conditions set forth in this Section 3(b) (other than any such conditions (or a portion thereof) for which the satisfaction thereof is made at the discretion or determination of Buyer) have been satisfied (both as of the date of such notice or request and as of Purchase Date);

25

(xxi) Security Interest. Evidence that all other actions necessary to perfect and protect Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Assets and other Repurchase Assets have been taken. Seller shall take all steps as may be necessary in connection with performing UCC searches and duly authorized and filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements on Form UCC-1; and

(xxii) Other Documents. Such other documents as Buyer may reasonably request, consistent with market practices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

(c) Initiation.

(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, with respect to any proposed Transaction for Eligible Mortgage Loans, as soon as available, but in no event later than [***] prior to a proposed Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i) a Transaction Notice, (ii) an Asset Schedule, and (iii) the Underwriting Package and any other related information available to Seller at that time which, collectively, shall identify the proposed Mortgage Loan(s) for purchase, the material characteristics of such Mortgage Loan(s) and the characteristics of the Purchased Assets. Seller shall also deliver to Buyer such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer to assess such Mortgage Loan(s). Seller shall involve Buyer in all aspects of due diligence as Buyer shall deem necessary in its sole discretion. Buyer shall have the right to review the information set forth on the Asset Schedule and the Eligible Mortgage Loans proposed to be subject to a Transaction as Buyer determines during normal business hours. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a confirmation in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each a “Confirmation”) no later than [***] prior to a proposed Purchase Date and such Confirmation shall set forth for such Transaction (A) the Purchase Date, (B) the aggregate Purchase Price, (C) the Repurchase Date, (D) the Pricing Rate applicable to the Purchase Price, (E) the Purchase Price Percentage, and (F) additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement, confirming the terms agreed upon between Buyer and Seller for such Transaction and attaching the final Asset Schedule, and, if each of the conditions precedent in this Section 3 hereof have been met, as determined by Buyer, Buyer may in its sole discretion, fund the related Purchase Price on the Purchase Date and such funding shall be deemed to be Buyer’s acceptance of the terms of the proposed Transaction set forth in the Confirmation. Seller shall execute and return the final Confirmation to Buyer via e-mail on or prior to [***] (New York time) on the related Purchase Date.

(ii) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction shall not be later than the then current Termination Date.

(iii) Each Confirmation, together with this Repurchase Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby.

26

(iv) No later than the date and time set forth in the Custodial Agreement, Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the Asset File pertaining to each Eligible Mortgage Loan made subject to a Transaction.

(v) Upon Buyer’s receipt of the Trust Receipt in accordance with the Custodial Agreement and subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the aggregate Purchase Price will be made available to Seller (x) with respect to each Purchased Asset which is not a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, upon Buyer’s receipt of the Trust Receipt in accordance with the Custodial Agreement (in any event on or prior to the related Purchase Date) by Buyer transferring, via wire transfer in the aggregate amount of such Purchase Prices in funds immediately available in accordance with Section 9(b) and (y) with respect to each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, by Buyer transferring to the Disbursement Agent via wire transfer the aggregate amount of such Purchase Price in funds immediately available; provided that to the extent funds are disbursed to the Disbursement Agent and a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan is not funded, such funds shall be refunded to Buyer on the same Business Day by Disbursement Agent transferring, via wire transfer, in the aggregate amount of such Purchase Prices in funds immediately available.

(vi) With respect to any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction, on the related Purchase Date and on each Business Day following such Purchase Date, no later than the time set forth in the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to Buyer a schedule listing each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan with respect to which the complete Asset File has not been received by the Custodian (the “Wet-Aged Report”).

(d) Optional Repurchase. Subject to the conditions herein, and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, Seller may cause the sale of Purchased Assets and effect an Optional Repurchase (as defined below) on any date in connection with such Optional Repurchase which is not made in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan. When the Mortgage Loans are desired to be sold or otherwise transferred or liquidated by Seller (x) to a Take-Out Investor in an arm’s length all-cash transaction or (y) in connection with a Capital Markets Transaction or other refinancing transaction that reduces the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price to zero (unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion) (an “Optional Repurchase”), for net sale proceeds that are equal to or greater than the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loans, Seller shall give Buyer prior written notice thereof by [***] (New York time) at least [***] prior, which notice designates the applicable Mortgage Loans and specifies the net sale proceeds expected from such sale; provided that the release of any Purchased Assets in accordance with this Section 3(d) shall not result in a Margin Deficit. If such notice is given, Seller shall, or shall cause the Take-Out Investor to, make payment directly to the Buyer or the Nomura Account (at Buyer’s determination) in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price.

(e) Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by reassignment to the Seller or their designee of the Purchased Assets (and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Mortgage Loan (but Liquidation Proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets on each Remittance Date except as otherwise provided herein). Seller is obligated to obtain the Asset Files from Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date.

27

(f) Mandatory Repurchase.

(i) If at any time there has occurred a Purchased Asset Issue with respect to any Purchased Asset, then the Asset Value thereof shall automatically be reduced to zero (unless otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller detailing the basis by which Buyer has determined that such Purchased Asset Issue has occurred (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Repurchase Notice”), require Seller to repurchase such asset. In the case of a repurchase, Seller, shall, at Buyer’s direction, be required to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan as soon as is practicable but, in any case, not more than [***] after Buyer has delivered such Repurchase Notice to Seller. Seller shall be required to notify Buyer as soon as is practicable after obtaining knowledge of any fact that could be the basis for any Purchased Asset Issue, but, in any case, not more than [***] after obtaining knowledge thereof. For the sake of clarity, Seller shall ensure that such Repurchase Price (including without limitation any related expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith) is remitted directly to Buyer and not pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Any cash remitted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be credited and applied to the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset and any other amounts then due and payable by Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset.

(ii) Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to send a Repurchase Notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan shall not in any way limit or impair its right to send a Repurchase Notice at a later time.

(g) LIBOR Rate Breakage Costs. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 16 hereof, the Seller agrees that if any Repurchase Price is paid other than in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan and such Repurchase Price is paid on a date other than on a Remittance Date, the Seller shall, upon demand by the Buyer, pay to the Buyer any such amounts as are reasonable to compensate the Buyer for any additional losses (not including lost profits), costs or expenses which the Buyer will incur as a result of such payments, including, without limitation, any hedge breakage costs.

(h) Alternative Rate. If prior to any Remittance Date, Buyer determines in its sole discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the LIBOR Rate is no longer in existence, or the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer may give prompt written notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor

28

Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. Any such determination of the Successor Rate and any Successor Rate conforming changes shall be made by Buyer consistent with its determinations with respect to other repurchase facilities that are substantially the same with similarly situated counterparties and with substantially similar assets subject thereto; provided, that the foregoing shall only apply to repurchase transactions that are under the supervision of the New York structured finance group of Buyer that administers the Transactions.

(i) Excess Concentration Amount. If, as of any date of determination, the Repurchase Price (excluding any amounts calculated pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof) of any type of Purchased Asset is in excess of any applicable Concentration Limit (such excess amount, the “Excess Concentration Amount”), then the Asset Value attributable to such Excess Concentration Amount shall automatically be reduced to zero (unless otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller require Seller to reduce such Repurchase Price by remitting such Excess Concentration Amount to Buyer within [***] of Seller’s receipt of such notice.

(j) Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount. If, as of any date of determination, a Repurchase Price Adjustment Date occurs with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall remit the related Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount to Buyer within [***] following its receipt of written notice thereof by Buyer. For the sake of clarity, following the payment of any Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount on any Repurchase Price Adjustment Date, all Purchased Assets then subject to a Transaction shall be in compliance with all applicable Concentration Limits.

Section 4. Margin Amount Maintenance.

(a) At any time a Margin Deficit exists in excess of [***], then Buyer may, by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee, cash or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, Additional Acceptable Assets to cure such Margin Deficit (such amount or Additional Acceptable Assets, the “Margin Payment”).

(b) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. Any Margin Deficit notice given before [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Payment received, no later than [***] (New York City time) on the following Business Day. If notice is made after [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Margin Payment shall be received by Buyer at [***] (New York City time) on the second following Business Day.

(c) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its failure to send a Margin Call notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan, or at any time there exists a Margin Deficit, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date, or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(d) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

29

Section 5. Income Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued and unpaid Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) on the Remittance Date. If Seller fails to pay all or part of the Price Differential then due by [***] (New York time) on any Remittance Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential then due is received in full by Buyer.

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause Servicer to, hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income, including, without limitation, all Income received by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall cause the Servicer to deposit all such Income received on account of the Purchased Assets serviced, subserviced or managed by Servicer in the related Collection Account, in accordance with the applicable Servicer Notice. To the extent that Seller is holding any Income, Seller shall deposit such Income on receipt into the Nomura Account. To the extent such deposits are insufficient to cover the full Price Differential due on the next Remittance Date, Seller shall deposit funds into the Nomura Account sufficient to cover such shortfall.

(c) Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to Collection Account all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets (such instruction shall be set forth in the Servicer Notice and shall be irrevocable without the prior written consent of Buyer) no later than, [***] of the application by Servicer in Servicer’s system of such collections in respect of the Purchased Assets, which in any event shall be no later than within [***] of receipt of such collections. All Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer except for tax purposes which shall be treated as income and property of Seller and when deposited into the Collection Account and Nomura Account, respectively, shall not be commingled with other property of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller; provided, however, that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Servicer as agent of the Seller shall have access to Income to make any permitted withdrawals in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement as modified by the Servicer Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Facility Documents to the contrary, Seller shall not at any time have access to the Collection Account and Seller shall not issue any instructions or directions to the Collection Account Bank with respect to the Collection Account.

(d) No later than [***] prior to each Remittance Date, Seller shall cause Servicer as agent of Seller to cause the Collection Account Bank to remit to the Nomura Account all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account. Funds on deposit in the Nomura Account shall be applied by Buyer on each Remittance Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as follows:

(A) first, pro rata, to Custodian and Disbursement Agent on account of any accrued and unpaid custodial and disbursement agent fees, and to the Collection Account Bank on account of any accrued and unpaid fees, unless Seller is paying such fees directly;

(B) second, to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Remittance Date;

30

(C) third, to Buyer on account of unpaid fees, expenses, LIBOR Rate breakage costs, indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to the Buyer from Seller under the Agreement;

(D) fourth, to pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Margin Deficit (without giving effect to any notice period) and without limiting Seller’s obligation to satisfy a Margin Deficit in a timely manner as required by Section 4) and any accrued and unpaid Excess Concentration Amount and Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount;

(E) fifth, all remaining amounts (if any), to the Seller.

(e) Reserved.

(f) To the extent that Buyer receives any funds from a Take-out Investor with respect to the purchase by such Take-out Investor of a Mortgage Loan (“Disposition Proceeds”), the Buyer shall promptly apply such funds to the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loans purchased by such Take-out Investor, any Margin Deficit, and shall promptly remit any excess to Seller.

(g) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred, all funds in the Collection Account and Waterfall Account shall be withdrawn and applied to payment of Seller’s Obligations hereunder as determined by Buyer until all such Obligations have been paid in full, and thereafter to Seller.

Section 6. Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

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

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

31

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

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

Section 7. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 7) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

32

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

33

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Buyer.

If Buyer has provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) above and the form provided by Buyer either at the time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the Effective Date) a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

34

(f) For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 7 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer, or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

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

Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Security Interest. On the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets to the extent of its rights therein. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges on the date hereof to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Seller’s rights, title and interest in the Purchased Assets (including any Additional Acceptable Assets that are Purchased Assets), any other Additional Acceptable Assets transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Records, all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets (to the extent of Seller’s rights therein), all Take-out Commitments, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or any related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, any Income relating to any Purchased Asset, each Collection Account, the Disbursement Account, the Servicing Agreements,

35

and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Assets or any interest in the Purchased Assets, as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Asset Detail and Exception Report, and any proceeds and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, on or prior to the related Repurchase Date. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem reasonable and appropriate. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

The grants of security interest set forth in this Section are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Section 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. 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 and 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, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby give Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller without assent by, but with notice to, Seller if an Event of Default 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 other Repurchase Assets 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 other Repurchase Assets whenever payable;

Section 15. Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs, the following rights and remedies are available to Buyer; provided, that an Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing (whereupon such Event of Default shall be deemed to be not continuing):

(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Seller), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

(A) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subsection (a)(i) of this Section, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder, and (3) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control; and

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section.

53

(iii) Upon the occurrence and continuance of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets related thereto which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in Facility Documents.

(iv) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer, or Buyer through its Affiliates or designees, may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to retain such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets (as determined and adjusted by the Buyer in its sole discretion, giving such weight to the Market Value or outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset as Buyer deems appropriate) against the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Facility Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to the foregoing shall be applied as determined by Buyer until all Obligations are paid in full, and Buyer shall pay any remainder to Seller.

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual expenses, including reasonable documented reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or hedging transactions, and (C) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Promptly upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide, at Seller’s cost, an updated Appraisal for each Purchased Asset.

(b) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. The Seller recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase 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 and Repurchase Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Seller agrees that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets and Repurchase 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

54

commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole good faith discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(c) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase 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.

(d) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

(e) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

Section 16. Indemnification and Expenses.

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of counsel, and Taxes relating to or arising in connection with the ownership of the Purchased Assets, but excluding any Taxes otherwise addressed in Section 7 of this Agreement) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document

55

or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt “Costs” shall include Taxes that represent losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Purchased Assets, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Assets for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Assets, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the amount of any Charges and/or Returned Items (as each such term is defined in the Collection Account Control Agreement) paid by Buyer to Collection Account Bank pursuant to Section 6 of the Collection Account Control Agreement (including without limitation following the termination of the Collection Account Control Agreement to the extent provided for in Section 6 of the Collection Account Control Agreement).

(b) Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer which amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price paid for the first Transaction hereunder; provided that Seller shall not be required to pay such costs and expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date that are in excess of the Legal Expense Cap; provided further that the Legal Expense Cap shall not apply if any extensive delays, unreasonable negotiations, unanticipated issues or structural changes occur during such development, preparation or execution. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other document prepared in connection thereto. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 30 hereof, Seller agrees to pay Buyer all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller for purchase under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 16(b) and 19 hereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Collection Account Bank.

56

(c) The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

Section 17. Servicing.

(a) Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with one or more Servicers to service and/or subservice the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Servicers customarily require with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by such Servicers and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing and/or subservicing responsibilities hereunder, (iii) be an approved servicer by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, in each case in good standing and (iv) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder. Buyer may terminate the servicing and/or subservicing of any Mortgage Loan with the then existing servicer and/or subservicer in accordance with the related Servicer Notice. The Servicing Agreement shall not be materially amended without the written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion; provided that the Seller shall provide the Buyer with written notice of any amendment of the Servicing Agreement, including a copy of such amendment.

(b) Seller shall ensure that Servicer has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(c) Seller shall cause the Servicer and any interim servicer to deposit all collections received by Seller on account of the Purchased Assets in the Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b).

(d) As compensation for its services under the Servicing Agreement the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible to pay all the fees and expenses of the Servicer out of the Servicing Fee or its own funds.

(e) The Seller shall provide promptly to the Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Assets.

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s rights to service the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Servicer Notice. Seller and Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing and/or subservicing of the Purchased Assets to a successor servicer and/or subservicer selected by Buyer in its sole discretion. If a Servicer Termination Event has occurred but an Event of Default has not yet occurred, the Seller shall select a successor servicer and/or subservicer within [***] following the earlier of Seller’s receipt of notice or knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, subject to such successor servicer or subservicer being approved by Buyer in its sole discretion exercised in good faith.

57

(g) If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing, servicing or subservicing any such Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

Section 18. Recording of Communications. Buyer and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions upon notice to the other party of such recording.

Section 19. Due Diligence. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller and Servicer, including, without limitation, financial information, organization documents, business plans, purchase agreements and underwriting purchase models for each pool of Mortgage Loans and such other information regarding such Persons or the Purchased Assets that Buyer may request and Seller, Servicer or such other Person shall have in their possession or control, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, Seller shall create and deliver to Buyer within [***] of such request, an electronic copy via email to [***], in a format acceptable to Buyer, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to review and approval of the Third Party Reviewer procedures, Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon a due diligence review prepared by a Third Party Reviewer with respect to Mortgage Loans that are Non-Agency Loans so long as (x) Buyer receives such due diligence review directly from such Third Party Reviewer and (y) such due diligence review was conducted within [***] of the related Purchase Date, or such other time period as agreed between the Buyer and the Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from Seller and enter into additional Transactions with respect to the Mortgage Loans based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to the Mortgage Loans and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and the Third Party Reviewer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and the Third Party Reviewer and any

58

third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all outofpocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 19; provided that such costs and expenses are in connection with such activities that are incremental to the due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans performed by Seller and described in the related due diligence materials delivered by Seller to Buyer (upon which Buyer may rely).    Buyer may, based on such due diligence, require to change contractual terms and add protections it deems, in its absolute discretion, necessary to protect its rights in the Mortgage Loans.

Section 20. Assignability.

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. At no additional cost to Seller, Buyer may, upon at least [***] notice to Seller, from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents to any Person pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility 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 Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents.

The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned or participated. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights.

Section 22. Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 23. Set-Off.

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller.

60

(b) Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred.

Section 24. Terminability. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 16 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 25. Notices And Other Communications. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by telecopy) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.

SCHEDULE 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS

Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any such Mortgage Loan by Buyer from Seller and at all times while the Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.    

(a) Data. The information on the Asset Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such information. All information contained in the related Asset File and in the Underwriting Package in respect of the Mortgage Loans is accurate and complete in all material respects.

(b) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, legal capacity to contract, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations by Seller or Servicer of the Mortgage Loan shall maintain or Seller shall cause Servicer of such Mortgage Loan to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than with respect to Investor Mortgage Loans, if the related Mortgagor’s loan application for such Mortgage Loan was taken on or after October 3, 2015, such Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule.

(c) Origination and Servicing Practices; No Escrow Deposits. The origination and collection practices used by the originator, each servicer of the Mortgage Loan and Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and the servicing practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether such servicing was done by the Seller, its affiliates, or any third-party subservicer or servicing agent of any of the foregoing. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of Seller. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any related Mortgage Loan Document. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.

Schedule 1-1

(d) Ownership. Seller has good and marketable title and full right to sell 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 sell each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will own 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 or expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected with respect to each Mortgage Loan, first priority lien and first priority security interest 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 foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

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

b. 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 title insurance policy delivered to Seller and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for to Seller or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraisal Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;

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

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

(f) 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 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, 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 Asset File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule.

Sch. 1-2

(g) Mortgage Recorded; Assignments of Mortgage. Except as provided in paragraph (e) above, each original Mortgage was recorded or submitted for recordation in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been delivered in the appropriate form for recording in all jurisdictions in which such recordation is necessary to perfect the ownership of the Mortgage by the owner thereof against creditors of the Seller or is in the process of being recorded. With respect to each Mortgage that constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form (other than the name of the assignee if in blank) and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, (i) the related Mortgage and Assignment of Mortgage have been duly and properly recorded in the name of MERS or its designee or have been delivered for recording to the applicable recording office and (ii) a mortgage identification number has been assigned by MERS and such mortgage identification number is accurately provided on the Asset Schedule (or is otherwise provided to Buyer). The related Assignment of Mortgage to MERS has been duly and properly recorded. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller has not received any notice of liens that are senior to the related Mortgage or legal actions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and no such notices have been electronically posted by MERS.

(h) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or to the best of Seller’s knowledge threatened, that is related to the Mortgage Loan and likely to affect materially and adversely such Mortgage Loan.

(i) No Outstanding Charges. 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. Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the 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 earlier, to the day which precedes by [***] the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.

(j) 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, setoff, 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. The Mortgagor did not have a prior bankruptcy and did not previously own property that was the subject of a foreclosure during the time the Mortgagor was the owner of record. Seller has no

Sch. 1-3

knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan.

(k) 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.

There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any applicable environmental law (including, without limitation, asbestos), rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property

(o) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in any State in the United States of America or District of Columbia acceptable pursuant to applicable Underwriting Guidelines as 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.

(p) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. Unless required repairs were identified at the time of origination and appropriate set-asides have been made for such repairs, to the best of the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is in good repair and undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, hurricane, tornado, mold 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.

(q) No Condemnation. There is no proceeding pending or to the best of the Seller’s knowledge threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property.

(r) Consolidation of Principal Advances. Any principal advances made have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate reflected on the Asset Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the principal amount (as expressed on the related Mortgage Note) is insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Buyer.

(s) No Fraud. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, the Mortgagor, the appraiser, any servicer or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan or in connection with the sale of such Mortgage Loan to the Buyer.

(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than [***] after funds were disbursed in connection

Sch. 1-5

with the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature. The Mortgagor contributed at least [***] of the purchase price for the Mortgaged Property from their own funds, except as permitted under the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. Interest on the Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360day year consisting of twelve 30day months. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the index plus the fixed percentage amount, in each case as set forth in the related Mortgage Note (rounded up or down to the nearest [***]), subject to the limit on each Mortgage Interest Rate adjustment as set forth in the related Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is payable on the [***] in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate 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 [***] from commencement of amortization.

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

(v) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, 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 applicable 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) [***] of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance 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 applicable Underwriting Guidelines. 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 Emergency Management Agency 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 National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. 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 [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums 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

Sch. 1-6

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.

(w) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. There is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan, and any and all requirements as to completion of any onsite or offsite improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. 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. All broker fees have been properly disclosed to the Mortgagor and no claims will arise as to broker fees that are double charged and for which the Mortgagor would be entitled to reimbursement.

(x) 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 other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Buyer, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Buyer, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac 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, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph (e) of this 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.

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 homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person, or restriction on the Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of the Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the ability of the Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Buyer, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac.
