(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any Purchased Contract is not capable of being assigned or transferred to Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement without the Consent of the other party or parties thereto or the issuer thereof or any other third party (including a Governmental Authority), or if such assignment or transfer, or attempted assignment or transfer, without such Consent would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any Law, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of any such Purchased Contract or any claim, right, benefit or obligation thereunder, or any such attempted assignment, unless any such Consent is obtained at or prior to the date of such attempted assignment (any such Purchased Contract that is not capable of being assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, as contemplated by this Section 2.03, a “Non-Transferred Asset”).

(c) If the applicable Seller uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consents necessary to assign or transfer such Non-Transferred Assets to Purchaser, until such Consents have been obtained and such Non-Transferred Assets have been assigned or transferred, each such Non-Transferred Asset shall be held by the applicable Seller as agent for Purchaser, and the applicable Seller shall, to the extent permitted by Law and, if applicable, the Contract governing such Seller’s use of such Non-Transferred Asset, provide to Purchaser the benefits or Liabilities and obligations, as the case may be, under each such Non-Transferred Asset. The applicable Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into mutually agreeable arrangements (including licensing, sublicensing or subcontracting, if permitted) by which the applicable Seller will provide Purchaser with the economic and operational equivalent of obtaining the requisite Consents and assigning the applicable Non-Transferred Asset to Purchaser (including, with the prior Consent of Purchaser, enforcing for the benefit of Purchaser all claims or rights arising thereunder and the performance by Purchaser of the obligations thereunder) and provide to Purchaser all of the benefits thereunder, and Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the applicable Seller and the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from such arrangements.

If any disagreement cannot be resolved by Seller Representative and Purchaser within 30 days after Seller Representative’s receipt of such Purchaser’s Objection, then either Seller Representative or Purchaser, by written notice to the other, may elect to have any such disagreement tendered to and resolved by a mutually agreeable internationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm (the “Accountant”), which shall determine, on the basis set forth in and in accordance with Section 3.03(a), and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, any of the disputed items set forth in the Proposed Closing Date Acquisition Statement requires adjustment.

(a) For a period of two years from the Closing Date, each Seller agrees to, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective consultants, legal counsel, auditors, financial advisors, lenders, agents, representatives, employees, officers and directors (collectively, the “Related Parties”) to, treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or provide access to any Person) (i) any and all confidential or proprietary information, knowledge and data to the extent relating to the Purchased Assets by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable standard of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or disclosure of such confidential or proprietary information, knowledge and data as such Seller and its Affiliates used with respect thereto prior to the execution of this Agreement and (ii) all confidential or proprietary information relating to the business of Purchaser and its Affiliates that becomes known to such Seller or its Related Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by

-45-

this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and not otherwise use such confidential or proprietary information (the confidential or proprietary information, knowledge and data set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Purchaser Confidential Information”), in each of clauses (i) and (ii), unless Purchaser provides its prior written consent to such use or disclosure; provided, that such Seller shall be permitted to disclose Purchaser Confidential Information (A) to any Related Parties of such Seller to whom such disclosure is necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of such Seller if such Persons are informed by such Seller of the confidential nature of such Purchaser Confidential Information and are directed by such Seller to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.03(a) and (B) subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 7.03(a), as may be required by applicable Law. Each Seller shall be responsible for any breach of the foregoing by its Related Parties. The term “Purchaser Confidential Information” shall not include any information that (I) at the time of disclosure is publicly available through no act or omission of the party owing a duty of confidentiality, (II) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a party owing a duty of confidentiality, so long as such source is not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the other party or (III) is developed independently by the applicable Seller without the use of Purchaser Confidential Information as evidenced by the internal records of such Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Seller or any of its Related Parties becomes legally compelled by Governmental Order or is required by the rules and regulations or any action of any applicable Governmental Authority or any stock exchange to disclose any such Purchaser Confidential Information, such Seller shall, and shall cause its applicable Related Parties to, (x) to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted by applicable Law, provide Purchaser with reasonable prior written notice of such requirement so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other remedy, (y) if such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, furnish only that portion of such Purchaser Confidential Information that is legally required to be provided and exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Purchaser Confidential Information and (z) use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly furnish to Purchaser a copy (in whatever form or medium) of such Purchaser Confidential Information it intends to furnish or has furnished. Each Seller agrees and acknowledges that remedies at Law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 7.03(a) are inadequate and that in addition thereto Purchaser shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such breach.

(b) For a period of two years from the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to, and shall cause its Related Parties to, treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or provide access to any Person) all confidential or proprietary information relating to the business of each Seller and its Affiliates (other than that relating to the Purchased Assets) (“Seller Confidential Information”) that becomes known to Purchaser or its Related Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and not otherwise use such Seller Confidential Information, unless Seller Representative provides its prior written consent to such use or disclosure; provided, that Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose Seller Confidential Information (i) to any Related Parties of Purchaser to whom such disclosure is necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of Purchaser if such Persons are informed by Purchaser of the confidential nature of such Seller Confidential Information and are directed by Purchaser to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.03(b) and (ii) subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 7.03(b), as may be required by applicable Law. Purchaser

-46-

shall be responsible for any breach of the foregoing by its Related Parties. The term “Seller Confidential Information” shall not include any information that (A) at the time of disclosure is publicly available through no act or omission of the party owing a duty of confidentiality, (B) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the party owing a duty of confidentiality, so long as such source is not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the other party or (C) is developed independently by Purchaser without the use of Seller Confidential Information as evidenced by the internal records of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser or any such Related Party becomes legally compelled by Governmental Order or is required by the rules and regulations or any action of any applicable Governmental Authority or any stock exchange to disclose any such Seller Confidential Information, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its applicable Related Parties to (I) to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted by applicable Law, provide Seller Representative with reasonable prior written notice of such requirement so that the applicable Seller may seek a protective order or other remedy, (II) if such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, furnish only that portion of such Seller Confidential Information that is legally required to be provided and exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Seller Confidential Information and (III) use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly furnish to Seller Representative a copy (in whatever form or medium) of such Seller Confidential Information it intends to furnish or has furnished. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that remedies at Law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 7.03(b) are inadequate and that, in addition thereto, the applicable Seller shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any such breach.

(c) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, (i) this Section 7.03 shall supersede the Confidentiality Agreement in all respects and (ii) the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

SECTION 7.04. Information Security. Purchaser has developed, implemented and will maintain effective information security policies and procedures that include administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of Seller Confidential Information provided to Purchaser, (b) protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Seller Confidential Information, (c) protect against unauthorized access or use of Seller Confidential Information and (d) ensure the proper disposal of Seller Confidential Information. All personnel of Purchaser or its Affiliates handling Seller Confidential Information have been appropriately trained in the implementation of Purchaser’s information security policies and procedures. Purchaser and its Affiliates regularly cause the audit and review of their information security policies and procedures to ensure their continued effectiveness and to determine whether adjustments are necessary in light of circumstances including changes in technology, customer information systems or threats or hazards to confidential information. In the event of unauthorized access to Seller Confidential Information or non-public personal information of individual consumers, Purchaser shall take appropriate action to prevent further unauthorized access. Purchaser shall provide any notices and information regarding such unauthorized access to appropriate law enforcement agencies, Governmental Authorities and affected customers.

(or any of its subsidiaries) to obtain (or re-obtain, as applicable) such Required Purchaser Licenses prior to Closing and the Servicing Transfer Date, as applicable.

(b) Each Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and to cooperate in obtaining, the Third Party Consents; provided, that neither party shall be required to pay or commit to pay any material amount to (or incur any material obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any such Third Party Consent may be required.

SECTION 7.06. Tax Cooperation and Exchange of Information; Tax Reporting.

(a) Upon the terms set forth in Section 7.02(c), Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall provide each other, at the requesting party’s sole expense and cost, with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a Liability for Taxes or a right to a refund of Taxes and (iii) participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes, in each case relating to the Purchased Assets; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, Sellers shall have no obligation to provide or furnish to Purchaser any consolidated, combined or unitary group Tax Return or portion thereof of Seller’s Affiliates, or any information Seller deems confidential in its sole and absolute discretion.

If any Property Taxes subject to proration are paid by Purchaser, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand, the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes paid (or if a refund of any portion of such Property Taxes previously paid is received, such refund) shall be paid promptly by (or to) the other after the payment of such Property Taxes (or promptly following the receipt of any such refund). Sellers shall be liable for all Property Taxes for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Cut-Off Date and the portion of any Straddle Period ending at the end of the Cut-Off Date, and Purchaser shall be liable for such Property Taxes for any taxable period beginning after the Cut-Off Date and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Cut-Off Date.

The party remitting such Conveyance Taxes shall be promptly reimbursed by the other party for one-half of the amount so paid upon presentation of an invoice or similar documentation evidencing payment of such Conveyance Taxes. Each party shall execute and deliver all instruments and certificates as are reasonably requested by the other party and which are necessary to enable the parties to comply with the foregoing.

SECTION 7.09. Delivery of Loan Files.

(a) Subject to Section 2.06, Sellers shall deliver all imaged or electronic Loan Files with respect to the Purchased Loans and all physical Loan Files with respect to the Purchased Loans (other than the Iron Mountain Loan Files), including the physical Loan Files for the Purchased Loans located at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility, to one Person at one location in the United States, as designated by Purchaser in accordance with the Conversion Plan, on the Servicing Transfer Date (or such other date as Seller Representative and Purchaser may reasonably agree upon in accordance with the Conversion Plan or otherwise). Subject to Section 2.06, all other Loan Files and Loan Specific Information required to be delivered to Purchaser under this Agreement, but which have not been delivered to Purchaser by the Servicing Transfer Date, shall be delivered to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee as promptly as practicable following the Servicing Transfer Date and shall be held by such Seller in trust for the benefit of Purchaser until delivery to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee.

(b) From and after the date hereof, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a Contract with Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc. or its Affiliates, effective as of the Servicing Transfer Date, providing for the storage of the Iron Mountain Loan Files in the custody of Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc. and its Affiliates from and after the Servicing Transfer Date (the “Purchaser Iron Mountain Contract”). Subject to Section 2.06, Sellers shall segregate the Iron Mountain Loan Files from the other documents of Sellers and their respective Affiliates stored in the custody of Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc. and its Affiliates and (i) if Purchaser has entered into the Purchaser Iron Mountain Contract prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, make the Iron Mountain Loan Files available on the Servicing Transfer Date (or such other date as Seller Representative and Purchaser may reasonably agree upon) to Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc. and its Affiliates, on behalf of Purchaser, for storage under the Purchaser Iron Mountain Contract or (ii) if Purchaser has not entered into the Purchaser Iron Mountain Contract prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, make the Iron Mountain Loan Files available on the Servicing Transfer Date (or such other date as Seller Representative and Purchaser may reasonably agree upon) for pickup by Purchaser at the locations where the Iron Mountain Loan Files are stored immediately prior to the Servicing Transfer Date.

-50-

accordance with Section 7.09 and the transfer of all obligations to service the Purchased Loans to Purchaser and (ii) other information and data as reasonably necessary for Purchaser to service the Purchased Loans, whether on the CML Servicing Systems or another HSBC Servicing System relevant to the servicing of the Purchased Loans and (b) develop and, no later than the Closing Date, agree upon a reasonable list of data fields and the frequency of updating such data fields, which shall be provided on a daily basis (the “Financial Data Plan”).

Without limiting the foregoing, such Conversion Plan and such Financial Data Plan shall ensure that neither Sellers nor Sellers’ Affiliates will have to provide any transition services beyond the Servicing Transfer Date. Each of Purchaser and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform their respective tasks as set forth in the Conversion Plan and the Financial Data Plan, and, unless otherwise set forth therein, Purchaser and Sellers shall each bear their own costs and expenses to perform their respective tasks as set forth in the Conversion Plan and the Financial Data Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Plan shall not address the transfer of the London, Kentucky Facility and related assets that are the subject of the London, Kentucky Agreement.

SECTION 7.18. Assignments of Mortgage. With respect to the Purchased PHL Loans that are not registered on the MERS System and for which MERS is not listed as the record mortgagee or beneficiary on the related Mortgage or assignment thereof, Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing any Assignments of Mortgage from the applicable Seller to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s designee, and for the recording and/or filing of the originals of any such Assignments of Mortgage and any power of attorney as Purchaser deems necessary, proper or appropriate and shall pay all costs, fees and expenses for such recording and/or filing. At the Closing, each Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser an original copy of a temporary limited power of attorney in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I (the “Limited Power of Attorney”) to authorize the recording and/or filing of the Assignments of Mortgage from such

-55-

Seller to Purchaser, which shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. Before executing on behalf of a Seller any Assignment of Mortgage or other document (any such document, a “Filing Document”) pursuant to the Limited Power of Attorney, and prior to recording or filing such Filing Document and such Limited Power of Attorney, Purchaser shall confirm that such Filing Document, such Limited Power of Attorney, if any, and any provisions and information attached to or included in such Filing Document and Limited Power of Attorney are true, correct and complete, and are in proper and customary form and substance (including procedurally proper and appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the applicable Collateral is located or the filing is being made) and shall comply with all Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Collateral is located or the filings are being made, and any such Filing Document attached to the Limited Power of Attorney shall be the original of such document or a true, correct and complete copy of the original of such document; provided, that if the Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Collateral is located require that an original or certified copy of a document be attached to the Filing Document and an original or certified copy of such document is not delivered by a Seller to Purchaser (or its permitted designee in accordance with Section 7.09), then Purchaser shall not be obligated to file such Filing Document and Limited Power of Attorney. When preparing any Assignment of Mortgage or other document pursuant to the Limited Power of Attorney for execution, Purchaser shall add language to indicate that, in executing such document, it is acting under a power of attorney, as attorney-in-fact for the applicable Seller, which language Purchaser represents and warrants to be customary, necessary and sufficient for the jurisdiction in which the related Collateral is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the Closing Date, any Seller may, at such Seller’s sole cost and expense, prepare, record and file any Assignments of Mortgage from such Seller to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s designee (which designee Seller shall ascertain from Purchaser prior to the submission of any such Assignment of Mortgage for filing or recording) for any Mortgages that have not previously been assigned to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.18. With respect to the Purchased PHL Loans that are registered on the MERS System, the applicable Seller shall register on the MERS System an assignment of each such Mortgage to Purchaser or its designee in the time period set forth in the Conversion Plan. Any related fees payable to MERS shall be the responsibility of Purchaser.

Purchaser acknowledges that its failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.19 may affect Purchaser’s rights in any such Ordinary Course Proceeding, including a dismissal with prejudice or the running of any statute of limitations if any such Ordinary Course Proceeding is dismissed. Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate and assist each other, as requested, to ensure an orderly transfer of the responsibilities with respect to the handling of any Purchased Loan that is subject to a Ordinary Course Preceding on the Closing Date.

SECTION 7.20. Right to Repurchase Purchased Loans. From and after the Closing, upon written notice by Seller Representative to Purchaser, the applicable Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase any Purchased Loan (and any related Purchased Assets) by paying to Purchaser the Repurchase Price at such time for such Purchased Loan, if such Seller reasonably determines that there is a pending or threatened or expected to be pending Litigation relating to or otherwise concerning such Purchased Loan or the related Purchased Assets, or the servicing, management or collection of any of the foregoing or the related Borrower, and either (a) such Litigation names any Seller or Interim Servicer, or their respective Affiliates, as a party or otherwise involves the interests of any such Person therein or (b) such Seller otherwise reasonably determines that such Litigation matter cannot be resolved, or that the interests of any Seller or Interim Servicer, or their respective Affiliates, cannot be adequately protected, without a Seller owning such Purchased Loan or the related Purchased Assets. The closing of any such repurchase of a Purchased Loan (and any related Purchased Assets) shall take place on a mutually agreeable date no later than 30 days after receipt by Purchaser of a written notice from Seller Representative setting forth a Seller’s election to exercise its repurchase rights under this Section 7.20, and, upon the closing of such repurchase, Purchaser shall make customary representations and warranties with respect to its ownership and the servicing of the repurchased Purchased Loan from and after the Closing Date (with respect to ownership) or the Servicing Transfer Date (with respect to servicing), as applicable, of a nature substantially similar to the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by the applicable Sellers with respect to its ownership and the servicing of such Purchased Loan. On or promptly following the date of such repurchase, Purchaser shall deliver to such Seller the related Loan File by an overnight courier designated by Seller Representative at such Seller’s expense and shall take any additional action and execute any additional documents or instruments reasonably requested by Seller Representative to transfer the Purchased Loan to such Seller. With respect to each Purchased Loan repurchased by a Seller pursuant to this Section 7.20, from and after the date of such repurchase, Sellers shall have no further obligation or liability to Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to such Purchased Loan (or any related Purchased Asset) other than any reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party in defending any such Litigation matter from and after the date of repurchase for which Purchaser or such Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under Section 9.02.

SECTION 7.21. Financing Statement Authorization. Sellers hereby authorize Purchaser to, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, file, on or after the Closing Date, a financing statement or statements and take such further actions as Purchaser may in its reasonable discretion determine is necessary or advisable to evidence the sale to Purchaser of the Purchased Loans and any accounts, general intangibles, documents, instruments (as such terms are defined under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York), and any proceeds related to any of the foregoing included in the Purchased Assets; provided, that Purchaser shall provide copies of forms of such statements for Seller Representative’s review and comment in advance of filing.

SECTION 7.22. Monthly Data Tape Information. During the period between the date hereof and the Closing Date, within 15 Business Days after the end of each calendar month, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with an updated data tape as of the prior month-end regarding the Loans containing information of the same categories and in the same format as in the Cut-Off Date Data Tape.

SECTION 7.24. Further Action. On and after the Closing Date, each of the parties hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, and to execute and deliver such documents and other papers, as may be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

SECTION 9.05. Direct Claims. As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving a Third Party Claim but in no event more than 20 Business Days after first becoming aware of such claim, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim, including the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party), the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then reasonably ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim), any other remedy sought thereunder and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto; provided, that the failure to timely give such notice shall not affect the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder unless such failure has materially prejudiced the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim, and then only to the extent of such prejudice.

SECTION 9.06. Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event that any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party may have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 10 Business Days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third Party Claim, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then reasonably ascertainable (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, that the failure to timely give a Claim Notice shall not affect the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder unless such failure has materially prejudiced the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have 20 days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

-63-

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.06(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.06(b). Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon the Indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing at its expense. If the Indemnified Party elects to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending any such Third Party Claim (including reasonable legal fees of the Indemnified Party’s separate counsel) but only if (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of Section 9.06(c). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim unless (A) such settlement or judgment involves monetary damages only, all of which will be paid (subject to the limitations of this Article IX) by the Indemnifying Party and there is no admission of fault or culpability on behalf of any Indemnified Party and (B) a term of the settlement or judgment is that the Person or Persons asserting such Third Party Claim unconditionally and irrevocably release all Indemnified Parties from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim; otherwise, the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required in order to enter into any settlement of, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to, any Third Party Claim.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, or (ii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within 10 days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; provided, that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents and employees, subject to Section 7.03; provided, that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall be considered as indemnifiable Losses.

-64-

(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law) and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work product privileges.

SECTION 9.07. Seller Representative. With respect to any claim for indemnification by a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.02 and any claim for indemnification by a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.03, Seller Representative shall act on behalf of all Sellers for purposes of Sections 9.05 and 9.06.

SECTION 9.08. Tax Treatment. Sellers and Purchaser agree that all payments made by any of them to or for the benefit of the other under this Article IX shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and that such treatment shall govern for purposes hereof except to the extent that the Laws of a particular relevant jurisdiction provide otherwise.

SECTION 9.09. Mitigation; Net Losses and Subrogation.

(a) In the event of any claim, liability or Loss that may give rise to an indemnification obligation hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the consequences of such claim, liability or Loss, in each case to the same extent as it would if such claim, liability or loss were not subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, including (i) cooperating with the Indemnifying Party, if so requested by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) all such reasonable measures that are required to prevent any contingent liability from becoming an actual liability.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Losses, (ii) any Tax benefit realized or Tax detriment incurred by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Losses or by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from any indemnification payment with respect to such Losses and (iii) any recoveries actually obtained by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from any other third party. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are actually received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Losses after the Indemnifying Party has made a payment to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party (or such Affiliate) shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment (after deducting therefrom the amount of the expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in procuring such proceeds or recovery).

(c) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) against any third party in respect of the Losses to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) and Indemnifying Party shall execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights.

SECTION 11.03. Public Announcements; Confidentiality. None of the parties hereto, nor their respective Related Persons, shall make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or otherwise communicate with any news media in respect thereof without the prior written consent of the other parties, and the parties hereto shall cooperate as to the form, timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication. Each of Sellers and Purchaser agrees to hold confidential the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.03 shall prevent any party or its Related Persons from (a) making any public announcement or disclosure required by Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable Governmental Authority or stock exchange, in which case such party shall advise the other parties and discuss the contents of such disclosure before making such announcement or disclosure, (b) discussing this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby with those Persons whose Consent is required for the consummation of such particular transaction or transactions and (c) enforcing its rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

-70-

SECTION 11.04. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

SECTION 11.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and, subject to Section 7.03(c), the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between Sellers and Purchaser with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 11.06. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the express written consent of Seller Representative and Purchaser (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Seller Representative or Purchaser, as applicable), and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, that any party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights and obligations hereunder (in whole or in part) to one or more Affiliates of such party (including, in the case of Purchaser, one or more trusts for which Purchaser or its Affiliates are the sole beneficiaries) without the consent of the other parties; and provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the assignor of any of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.07. Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended or modified by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers and Guarantor) and Purchaser.

SECTION 11.08. Waiver. Any party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants or agreements of the other parties or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

SECTION 11.09. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of Article IX relating to the Indemnified Parties, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

-71-

SECTION 11.10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York applicable to Contracts executed in and to be performed in that state. All Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York; provided, that, if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over any such Litigation, such Litigation shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York. Consistent with the preceding sentence, the parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in New York City, New York for the purpose of any Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Litigation, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

SECTION 11.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation, directly or indirectly, arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 11.11.

SECTION 11.12. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York (if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over any such Litigation, such Litigation shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York), this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with obtaining any such injunctive relief.

-72-

SECTION 11.13. Disclosure Schedules.

(a) Any information disclosed pursuant to any section of any Disclosure Schedule hereto shall be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of any other section of such Disclosure Schedule to which such disclosure is relevant, to the extent that it is readily apparent on its face without further inquiry that such disclosure is relevant to such other section. Neither the specification of any payment amount or any item or matter in any provision of this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in any Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item or matter so specified or included, or other items or matters, are or are not material, and no party hereto shall use the fact of the specification of any such amount or the specification or inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties hereto as to whether any item or matter not specified herein or included in any Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Neither the specification of any item or matter in any provision of this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item or matter in any Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no party hereto shall use the fact of the specification or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties hereto as to whether any item or matter not specified herein or included in any Disclosure Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Sellers or Purchaser may, from time to time up to three Business Days prior to Closing, by written notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, supplement or amend any Disclosure Schedule including one or more supplements or amendments to correct any matter that, if not corrected, would constitute a breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained herein or with respect to any matter which, if known, existing or occurring at or prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in such Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate by an event, condition, fact or circumstance occurring after the date of this Agreement. Each party shall promptly notify the other in writing of the supplement or amendment of any Disclosure Schedule. No such supplemental or amended Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to cure any breach for purposes of Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.03(a), as applicable. If, however, the Closing occurs: (i) any such supplement and amendment to the extent it relates to (A) any matter arising prior to the date hereof that was disclosed in (1) with respect to the Seller Fundamental Warranties and the other representations and warranties set forth Article V, the Disclosure Schedules as of the date hereof, the Q&A Log as of the date hereof or in the other documents set forth on Schedule 9.10 as of the date hereof, (2) with respect to the representations and warranties made in Sections 5.04, 5.05, 5.06 and 5.08, the Signing Data Room (excluding the Loan File Folder), and (3) with respect to the representations and warranties made in Sections 5.07(b) through 5.07(j), the Signing Data Room (including the Loan Files but only with respect to each Purchased Loan for which the applicable Loan File is contained in the Loan File Folder) or (B) any matter arising after the date hereof (to the extent such matter has not resulted from any breach of any covenant contained herein) shall, in each case, be effective to cure and correct for all purposes any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty that would have existed if the applicable Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, had not made such supplement or amendment, and all references to any Disclosure Schedule hereto that is so supplemented or amended as provided in this Section 11.13 shall for all purposes after the Closing be deemed to be a reference to such Disclosure Schedule as so supplemented or amended with respect to such matters; and (ii) any such supplement and amendment to the extent it relates to (A) any matter arising prior to the date hereof that was not disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules as of the date hereof, the Signing Data Room, the Q&A

-73-

Log as of the date hereof or in the other documents set forth on Schedule 9.10 or (B) any matter arising after the date hereof to the extent that such matter is the result of any breach by Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, of any covenant contained herein shall, in each case, not be effective to cure and correct any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made as of the date of this Agreement, and all references to any Disclosure Schedule hereto that is so supplemented or amended as provided in this Section 11.13 shall for all purposes after the Closing be deemed to be a reference to such Disclosure Schedule without taking into account such supplement or amendment with respect to such matters. Any notice provided by or on behalf of a Seller pursuant to Section 7.23 shall be deemed to be such a supplement and amendment to the Disclosure Schedules.

SECTION 11.14. Joint Drafting. Each of Sellers and Purchaser has cooperated and participated equally in the drafting of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. In the event any construction of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements is required, each of Sellers and Purchaser shall be deemed to have been mutually prepared by Sellers and Purchaser and shall not be construed against any of them solely by reason of authorship.

SECTION 11.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 11.16. Bulk Sales. Purchaser hereby waives compliance by Sellers with the provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction relating to a bulk sale or transfer of assets that may be applicable to the transfer of the Purchased Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the indemnification provided by Sellers in Section 9.02(e) shall apply to any Taxes that are the subject of the bulk sale provisions of any jurisdiction that may be applicable to the transfer of the Purchased Assets.

SECTION 11.17. Reproduction of Documents. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and the confidentiality provisions in Section 7.03, this Agreement and any portion hereof or any and all documents relating thereto, including (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any party at the Closing and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished may be reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

SECTION 11.18. Seller Representative.

(a) Appointment. Each Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints HSBC Finance Corporation as its true and lawful attorney and representative (in such capacity, “Seller Representative”) with full power and authority to take any and all actions and execute

-74-

any and all documents specified in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement as being within the authority of Seller Representative. HSBC Finance Corporation hereby accepts its appointment as Seller Representative and agrees to perform all of the duties of Seller Representative hereunder. All payments made to Seller Representative under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be for the benefit of Sellers and shall be paid by Seller Representative to the applicable Sellers promptly after receipt of such payment by Seller Representative.

(b) Authority and Duties. Each Seller, by its execution of this Agreement, hereby authorizes and instructs Seller Representative and constitutes Seller Representative as agent for and on behalf of such Seller (i) to give and receive any and all notices required to be given under this Agreement to or by Seller Representative, (ii) to take any and all action in connection with the defense, payment or settlement of any claims to indemnify, hold harmless or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article IX, (iii) to take any and all additional action as is contemplated to be taken by Seller Representative by the terms of this Agreement and (iv) to take any and all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Seller Representative for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing. Any decision or action by Seller Representative hereunder shall constitute a decision or action of all Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each Seller.

(c) Reliance. Each Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to conclusively rely on (i) Seller Representative as the sole representative of Sellers with respect to the duties set forth in Section 11.18(b) and (ii) any decision or act of Seller Representative required, permitted or contemplated to be taken by Seller Representative hereunder. Purchaser shall be entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter, paper or other document provided to it by or on behalf of Seller Representative and reasonably believed by Purchaser to be genuine and to have been signed and presented by the proper Person or Persons.

SECTION 11.19. Guaranty.

(a) Subject to Section 11.19(c), Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Purchaser (the “Guaranty”) the prompt and punctual payment of all amounts that may become due and payable by Sellers hereunder from and after the Closing (including pursuant to Article IX) when and as the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to all Guaranteed Obligations, such guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection or performance and shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Purchaser of any remedies that it now has or may hereafter have against Sellers, whether at law, in equity or otherwise, and shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment, suspension, deferment, reduction or defense (other than full and strict compliance by Guarantor with its obligations hereunder) based upon any claim that Guarantor or any other Person have against any Seller or any other Person. No failure on the part of any party to exercise or delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any of, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of, any other right. Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, acceptance, presentment, demand, protest and any notice in respect of the Guaranty not provided for herein.

-75-

(b) Subject to Section 11.19(c), the obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(i) the illegality, validity or genuineness of this Agreement with respect to any Seller;

(ii) the enforceability of any portion of this Section 11.19 against Guarantor, Sellers;

(iii) any release or discharge of any obligation of any Seller under this Agreement resulting from any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Seller, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Seller or any of their respective assets; or

(iv) any amendment or modification of this Agreement or change in the manner, place or terms of payment, or any change or extension of the time of payment of, renewal or alteration of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(c) The Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) December 31, 2022 and shall (A) be binding upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (B) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (1) any permitted successors of Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party, or any permitted transferee of all or substantially all of the assets of any of them, and (2) any permitted successors, heirs, executors or beneficiaries of any of Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party. Guarantor will not enforce any rights of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Seller until such Seller and Guarantor have fully performed all their obligations hereunder. If at any time any payment made pursuant to this Guaranty is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Seller or otherwise, Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made.

(d) Guarantor has all requisite power and authority necessary to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; and the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Guarantor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor or in accordance with its terms. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof, will conflict with or violate any organizational document of Guarantor.
