ARTICLE 3

THE TRANSACTIONS

Section 3.01 Procedures.

(a) From time to time during the Revolving Period, but not more frequently than once per week, any Seller may request Buyer to enter into a proposed Transaction to purchase Eligible Assets or fund a Purchase Price Increase in respect of one or more Purchased Assets by sending Buyer a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H (“Transaction Request”), at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Purchase Date, (i) describing the Transaction and each proposed Eligible Asset and related Underlying Assets to be purchased by Buyer, or in connection with a Purchase Price Increase, the related Underlying Assets proposed to be conveyed to the related Trustee, and other security therefor in reasonable detail, (ii) transmitting a complete Underwriting Package for each proposed Eligible Asset and related Underlying Assets, and (iii) specifying which (if any) of the representations and warranties of such Seller set forth in this Agreement (including those contained in Schedule 1-A, 1-B and 1-C) such Seller will be unable to make with respect to such Underlying Assets or Purchased Assets. The related Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer any supplemental materials requested at any time by Buyer. Buyer shall conduct such review of the Underwriting Package and each such Eligible Asset and Underlying Asset as Buyer determines appropriate. Buyer shall determine whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of the proposed Eligible Assets or fund a Purchase Price Increase in respect of additional Underlying Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Buyer is entering into the Transactions on the basis of all such representations and warranties and on the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in the applicable Underwriting Package, and any incompleteness or inaccuracies in the related Underwriting Package will only be acceptable to Buyer if disclosed in writing to Buyer by the related Seller in advance of the related Purchase Date, and then only if Buyer opts to purchase the related Eligible Asset or fund a Purchase Price Increase in respect of additional Underlying Assets notwithstanding such incompleteness and inaccuracies. In the event of a Representation Breach regarding any representations and warranties set forth in Schedule 1-A, 1-B or 1-C related to any Underlying Asset or Purchased Asset, or any Underlying Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan or Eligible REO Property, as applicable, the related Seller shall immediately repurchase such Underlying Asset or Purchased Asset in accordance with Section 3.05.

(b) Buyer shall give the related Seller notice of the date when Buyer has received a complete Underwriting Package and supplemental materials. Buyer shall endeavor to communicate in writing to the related Seller a preliminary non-binding determination of whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of such Eligible Assets or fund any Purchase Price Increase, and if so, on what terms and conditions, within four (4) Business Days after such date, and if its preliminary determination is favorable, by what date Buyer expects to communicate to such Seller a final non-binding indication of its determination. If Buyer has not communicated in writing, its final non-binding indication to the related Seller by such date, Buyer

- 31 -

shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have determined not to purchase any such Eligible Asset or fund such Purchase Price Increase.

(c) If Buyer communicates to the related Seller a final non-binding determination that it is willing to purchase any or all of such Eligible Assets or fund any Purchase Price Increase, such Seller shall deliver to Buyer an executed preliminary Confirmation for such Transaction, describing each such Eligible Asset and Underlying Asset and the proposed Purchase Date, Market Value (as provided by Buyer), Applicable Percentage, Purchase Price and such other terms and conditions as Buyer may require and agreed to by such Seller. If Buyer requires changes to the preliminary Confirmation, the related Seller shall make such changes and re-execute the preliminary Confirmation. If Buyer determines to enter into the Transaction on the terms described in the preliminary Confirmation, Buyer shall promptly execute and return the same to the related Seller, which shall thereupon become effective as the Confirmation of the Transaction. Buyer’s approval of the purchase of an Eligible Assets or funding of a Purchase Price Increase on such terms and conditions as Buyer may require shall be evidenced only by its execution and delivery of the related Confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not (i) be bound by any preliminary or final non-binding determination referred to above, or (ii) be obligated to purchase an Eligible Assets or fund any Purchase Price Increase notwithstanding a Confirmation executed by the Parties unless and until all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6 have been satisfied or waived by Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, once (A) Buyer has executed a Confirmation and delivered the Confirmation to the related Seller, (B) Buyer has funded the Transaction, (C) the related Seller has fully funded its portion of the Purchase Price, to the extent applicable, and (D) the Purchased Asset, Underlying Assets and related Asset Documents have been delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, then such Confirmation shall evidence (i) Buyer’s approval of the Purchased Assets and related Underlying Assets on the related Purchase Date and each Underlying Asset shall remain an Eligible Mortgage Loan or Eligible REO Property unless and until Buyer determines that such Underlying Asset does not satisfy the requirements of an Eligible Mortgage Loan (other than clause (c)(x) of the definition of Eligible Mortgage Loan) or an Eligible REO Property (other than clause (c)(ii) of the definition of Eligible REO Property and (ii) Buyer’s written agreement to be bound by the provisions of such Confirmation.

(d) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby, and shall be construed to be cumulative to the extent possible. If terms in a Confirmation are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Transaction, the Confirmation shall prevail. Whenever the Applicable Percentage or any other term of a Transaction (other than the Pricing Rate, Market Value and outstanding Purchase Price) with respect to a Purchased Asset or an Underlying Asset is revised or adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, an amended and restated Confirmation reflecting such revision or adjustment and that is otherwise acceptable to the Parties shall be prepared by the related Seller and executed by the Parties.

(e) The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination or any other due diligence review of any Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset shall in no way affect any rights Buyer may have under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise with respect to any representations or warranties or other rights or remedies thereunder or otherwise, including the right to determine at any time that such Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset or such Underlying Asset is not an Eligible Mortgage Loan or Eligible REO Property, as applicable.

(f) No Transaction shall be entered into if (i) any Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default exists or would exist as a result of such Transaction, (ii) the Repurchase Date for the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction would be later than the Facility Termination Date, or (iii) after giving

- 32 -

effect to such Transaction, the Aggregate Purchase Price then outstanding would exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price.

(g) Each Series Trust Certificate purchased by Buyer hereunder shall, as of any date, (i) represent 100% of the then current Series Trust Interests in the related Underlying Series Trust and (ii) for all intents and purposes hereunder, represent the Buyer’s indirect beneficial ownership of 100% of all the related Underlying Assets. For the sake of clarity, the Purchase Price for any Purchased Asset as of any Purchase Date shall be calculated with respect to the related Underlying Assets that are then owned by the related Underlying Series Trust as of such Purchase Date. Similarly, the calculation of Margin Deficit, Market Value, Price Differential, Repurchase Price or any other valuations of all or a portion of the Purchased Assets shall be with respect to the related Underlying Assets, the beneficial ownership interests in which are then allocated to the related Underlying Series Trust, as the context may require.

(h) A Seller may, at any time by sending a Transaction Request (which shall designate the Underlying Asset to be released from a Transaction hereunder) to Buyer at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Price Decrease Date, request a Purchase Price Decrease and obtain the release of the related Underlying Asset. Such Seller shall remit or cause to be remitted to Buyer the Allocated Purchase Price in connection with such Purchase Price Decrease in accordance with Buyer’s wire instructions not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Purchase Price Decrease Date. Buyer shall apply such Allocated Purchase Price to reduce the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price. In addition, Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released its security interest in such Underlying Asset, shall permit the related Seller to remove such Underlying Asset from the related Master Series Trust, and shall authorize the Custodian to release to such Seller the Asset Documents for such Underlying Asset and, to the extent any UCC financing statement filed against such Seller specifically identifies such Underlying Asset, Buyer shall promptly deliver an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Underlying Asset Loan from Buyer’s security interest therein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Repurchase Document, at any time during the existence of an uncured Default or Event of Default, the related Seller may not effect a Purchase Price Decrease with respect to any Underlying Asset without Buyer’s written consent.

(i) On each Purchase Date, (i) the related Seller shall, with respect to Eligible Assets that will be delivered or held in definitive, certificated form, deliver to Buyer the original of the relevant certificate with respect to the related Eligible Assets registered in the name of Buyer, and (ii) with respect to Eligible Assets that will be delivered or held in uncertificated form and the ownership of which is registered on books maintained by the issuer thereof or its transfer agent, such Seller shall cause the registration of such security or other item of investment property in the name of Buyer and, at the request of Buyer, shall take such other and further steps, and shall execute and deliver such documents or instruments necessary in the opinion of Buyer, to effect and perfect a legally valid delivery of the relevant interest granted therein to Buyer hereunder. Unless otherwise instructed by Buyer, any delivery of a security or other item of investment property in definitive, certificated form shall be made to Buyer in accordance with Buyer’s instructions. Any delivery of a Purchased Asset in accordance with this subsection, or any other method acceptable to Buyer, shall be effected in a manner sufficient to cause Buyer to be the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to the Purchased Assets and, if the Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing, to have a perfected first priority security interest therein. No Purchased Assets, whether certificated or uncertificated, shall (i) remain in the possession of the related Seller, or (ii) remain in the name of the related Seller or any of its respective agents, or in any account in the name of such Seller or any of its respective agents.

- 33 -

(j) Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets, including without limitation the right to direct any Trustee relating to any Purchased Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause, Buyer hereby grants the related Seller a revocable license to (i) direct any Trustee relating to any Purchased Asset, and (ii) vote on any matter, subject however to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or right exercised or other action taken that would, as determined by Buyer, impair, reduce the value of or otherwise adversely affect the Purchased Assets or that would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document or the Guarantee Agreement; provided, further, that such license shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default hereunder. Without the prior consent of Buyer, the related Seller shall not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit any related Master Series Trust to issue any equity interests of any nature or to issue any other equity interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any equity interests of such Master Series Trust, or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, a Trust Certificate, or (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, Trust Certificates or any interest therein, except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement, or (iv) enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Seller to sell, pledge, assign or transfer any Trust Certificate.

(k) Each Seller hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any party (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) in connection with any registration of a Purchased Asset in the name of Buyer and any ultimate re-registration of a Purchased Asset in the name of such Seller, if applicable.

(l) If an REO Property is acquired upon foreclosure of an Underlying Mortgage Loan, (i) such REO Property will be reallocated to the related REO Series Trust pursuant to the related Master Series Trust Agreement and related Series Supplement and (ii)(A) upon the approval of Buyer in a Confirmation, the Aggregate Purchase Price (as defined in the REO Property Repo) under the REO Property Repo may be deemed to be increased in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Market Value (as defined in the REO Property Repo) and (y) the Applicable Percentage (as defined in the REO Property Repo) with respect to such REO Property, and (B) the Aggregate Purchase Price under this Agreement shall be deemed to be decreased by an amount equal to the Repurchase Price with respect to such REO Property. To the extent that the amount calculated in clause (ii)(B) is greater than the amount calculated in clause (ii)(A), Seller shall pay Buyer an amount equal to such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 3.02 Transfer of Purchased Assets; Servicing Rights.

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset, and subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6, (a) ownership of and title to such Purchased Asset shall be transferred to and vest in Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to the account of the related Seller specified in Schedule 2 (or if not specified therein, in the related Confirmation or as directed by Seller), and (b) the related Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer on a servicing-released basis all of such Seller’s right, title and interest (but no Retained Interests) in and to the related Purchased Assets, together with all Servicing Rights in respect of related Underlying Assets. Subject to this Agreement, during the Revolving Period, the related Seller may sell to Buyer, repurchase from Buyer and re-sell Eligible Assets to Buyer, but may not substitute other Eligible Assets for Purchased Assets. Subject to the Servicing Agreements, Buyer has the right to designate the servicer and sub-servicer of the Underlying Assets; the Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Underlying Assets under this Agreement and, such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms”

- 34 -

under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Repurchase Documents.

(b) Upon the transfer of any Series Trust Certificate to Buyer as set forth herein and until termination of any related Transactions as set forth herein, ownership of the Series Trust Interests related to such Series Trust Certificate and held by the related Seller shall be vested in Buyer; provided that Buyer shall only be deemed to have all rights of such Seller (and none of the obligations of such Seller) thereunder. It is a condition precedent of each Transaction that the Series Trust Certificate for each Underlying Series Trust be re-registered in Buyer’s name. It is the intent of the parties that the transfers of the Series Trust Certificates to Buyer provided for hereby shall be deemed to be “assignments” of the Series Trust Interests and that such assignment be governed by and treated accordingly as such under the terms of the related Master Series Trust Agreement and related Series Supplements.

Section 3.03 [Reserved].

Section 3.04 Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price. The Aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets as of any date shall not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price. If the Aggregate Purchase Price exceeds the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price, Sellers shall immediately pay to Buyer an amount necessary to reduce the Aggregate Purchase Price to an amount equal to or less than the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price.

Section 3.05 Early Repurchase Date; Mandatory Repurchases. Any Seller may terminate any Transaction with respect to any or all Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets and repurchase such Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets on any date prior to the Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, that (a) such Seller irrevocably notifies Buyer at least five (5) Business Days before the proposed Early Repurchase Date identifying the Purchased Asset(s) or Underlying Asset(s) to be repurchased and the Repurchase Price thereof, (b) such Seller delivers a certificate from a Responsible Officer of such Seller in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer certifying that no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default exists or would exist as a result of such repurchase and there are no other Liens on the Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets other than Buyer’s Lien, (c) if the Early Repurchase Date is not a Remittance Date, such Seller pays to Buyer any amount due under Section 12.03, (d) such Seller thereafter complies with Section 3.06.

In addition to other rights and remedies of Buyer under any Repurchase Document, each Seller shall immediately repurchase (i) any Purchased Asset that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Asset and any Underlying Asset that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Mortgage Loan or Eligible REO Property, in each case as determined by Buyer, and (ii) any Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset the Market Value of which is determined by Buyer to be zero.

Section 3.06 Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date for each Purchased Asset, the related Seller shall transfer to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset as of the Repurchase Date, and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall transfer to such Seller such Purchased Asset, whereupon the Transaction with respect to such Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset shall terminate. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released its security interest in such Purchased Asset and the related Underlying Assets, shall authorize Custodian to release to the related Seller the related Asset Documents and, to the extent any UCC financing statement filed against such Seller specifically identifies such Purchased Asset or Underlying Assets, upon such Seller’s request Buyer shall deliver an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Purchased Asset and Underlying Assets from Buyer’s security interest therein. Any such transfer or release shall be without recourse to Buyer and without

- 35 -

representation or warranty by Buyer, except that Buyer shall represent to the related Seller, to the extent that good title was transferred and assigned by such Seller to Buyer hereunder on the related Purchase Date, that Buyer is the sole owner of such Purchased Asset, free and clear of any other interests or Liens caused by Buyer’s actions or inactions. Any Income with respect to such Purchased Asset received by Buyer or Account Bank after payment of the Repurchase Price therefor shall be remitted to the related Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the Facility Termination Date, Sellers shall repurchase all Purchased Assets by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations.

Section 3.07 Reserved.

Section 3.08 Payment of Price Differential and Fees.

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Sellers intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all but U.S. federal and relevant state and local income and franchise tax purposes, Sellers shall pay to Buyer the accrued value of the Price Differential for each Purchased Asset on each Distribution Date. Buyer shall give Sellers notice of the Price Differential and any fees and other amounts due under the Repurchase Documents on or prior to each Remittance Date; provided, that Buyer’s failure to deliver such notice shall not affect Sellers’ obligation to pay such amounts. If the Price Differential includes any estimated Price Differential, Buyer shall recalculate such Price Differential after the Distribution Date and, if necessary, make adjustments to the Price Differential amount due on the following Distribution Date.

(b) If Sellers fail to pay all or part of the Price Differential by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, with respect to any Purchased Asset, Sellers shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (in addition to, and together with, the amount of such Price Differential) interest on the unpaid Repurchase Price at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate until the Price Differential is received in full by Buyer.

(c) Sellers shall pay to Buyer all fees and other amounts as and when due as set forth in this Agreement and the Fee Letter including, without limitation the Facility Fee, which shall be due, earned and payable in full (without reduction, set-off or refund in the event of any early termination of this Agreement) by Sellers on the Closing Date or, as applicable, the Restatement Date.

Section 3.09 Payment, Transfer and Custody.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts required to be paid or deposited by Sellers, Guarantor or any other Person under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due, in immediately available Dollars and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim, and if not received before such time shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment under the Repurchase Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of such payment. Sellers shall, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, pay to Buyer interest in connection with any amounts not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents, which interest shall be calculated at a rate equal to the Default Rate, until all such amounts are received in full by Buyer. Amounts payable to Buyer and not otherwise required to be deposited into the Waterfall Account shall be deposited into an account of Buyer. Sellers shall have no rights in, rights of withdrawal from, or rights to give notices or instructions regarding Buyer’s account or the Waterfall Account.

- 36 -

(b) Any Asset Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian are and shall be held in trust by the related Seller or its agent for the benefit of Buyer as the beneficial owner thereof. The related Seller or its agent shall maintain a copy of the Asset Documents and the originals of the Asset Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian. The possession of Asset Documents by the related Seller or its agent is in a custodial capacity only at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of assisting the related Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. Each Asset Document retained or held by the related Seller or its agent shall be segregated on the related Seller’s books and records from the other assets of such Seller or its agent, and the books and records of such Seller or its agent shall be marked to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset, including the Underlying Assets, to Buyer on a servicing-released basis. The related Seller or its related agent shall release its custody of the Asset Documents only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such release required as incidental to the servicing of the Underlying Assets by the related Servicer is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset or the release of an Underlying Asset from a Transaction hereunder by such Seller in accordance with this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.

Section 3.10 Repurchase Obligations Absolute. All amounts payable by the Sellers under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever) and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever), and the Repurchase Obligations shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, except as expressly provided herein, by reason of: (a) any damage to, destruction of, taking of, restriction or prevention of the use of, interference with the use of, title defect in, encumbrance on or eviction from, any Underlying Asset or related Mortgaged Property, (b) any Insolvency Proceeding relating to any Seller or any Underlying Obligor, or any action taken with respect to any Repurchase Document or Asset Document by any trustee or receiver of any Seller or any Underlying Obligor or by any court in any such proceeding, (c) any claim that any Seller has or might have against Buyer under any Repurchase Document or otherwise, (d) any default or failure on the part of Buyer to perform or comply with any Repurchase Document or other agreement with any Seller, (e) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset, Repurchase Document or Asset Document, or (f) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and whether or not Seller has notice or Knowledge of any of the foregoing. The Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller. The Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to the Sellers and the Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the Repurchase Obligations, regardless of whether such amounts relate to any individual Seller. This Section 3.10 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

ARTICLE 4

MARGIN MAINTENANCE

Section 4.01 Margin Deficit.

(a) If on any date the aggregate Market Value of all Underlying Assets is less than the product of (A) Buyer’s Margin Percentage times (B) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets as of such date (a “Margin Deficit”), and such Margin Deficit is greater than the Minimum Transfer Amount, Buyer may provide notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below and in Section 4.01(b) (a “Margin Call”)) of such Margin Deficit. Such notice shall require Sellers to transfer cash to Buyer to reduce the Aggregate Purchase Price, so that, after giving effect to such payments, the Aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets does not exceed the aggregate Market Value of all Underlying Assets multiplied by the Applicable Percentage as of such date. Buyer shall apply the funds

- 37 -

received in satisfaction of a Margin Deficit to the Repurchase Obligations to reduce the Aggregate Purchase Price in such manner as Buyer determines. For the avoidance of doubt, a Margin Call may be made with respect to a single Purchased Asset, multiple Purchased Assets or any number of Underlying Assets, so long as, subject to the following sentence, a Margin Deficit that is greater than the Minimum Transfer Amount exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time an Underlying Asset becomes (x) a Non-Performing Mortgage Loan or (y) an REO Property, if the Market Value of such Underlying Asset is less than the product, as of such date, of (A) Buyer’s Margin Percentage times (B) the Allocated Purchase Price for such Underlying Asset, Buyer may provide a notice to Sellers in accordance with this Section 4.01 requiring Seller to transfer cash to Buyer to eliminate such deficit.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Each Seller (unless otherwise specified herein) represents and warrants, on and as of the date of this Agreement, each Purchase Date, and at all times when any Repurchase Document or Transaction is in full force and effect, except as set forth in Schedule 3, as follows:

Section 7.01 Sellers. Such Seller has been duly organized and validly exists in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Master Series Trust has been duly organized as a Delaware statutory trust organized in series and validly exists in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Such Seller (a) has all requisite power, authority, legal right, licenses and franchises, (b) is duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions necessary, and (c) has been duly authorized by all necessary action, to (w) own, lease and operate its properties and assets, (x) conduct its business as presently conducted, (y) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Repurchase Documents to which it is a party, and (z) acquire, own, sell, assign, pledge and repurchase the Purchased Assets. Such Seller’s exact legal name is set forth in the preamble and signature pages of this Agreement. Such Seller and each Master Series Trust is located (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC), in the state of Delaware. Such Seller has not changed its name or location within the past twelve (12) months. Such Seller’s organizational identification number and its tax identification number are set forth on Annex 1. Such Seller is an indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Guarantor. The fiscal year of such Seller is the calendar year. Such Seller has no Guarantee Obligations.

Section 7.02 Repurchase Documents. Each Repurchase Document to which such Seller and a Master Series Trust on behalf of itself and each Underlying Series Trust is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Seller and such Master Series Trust and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller and such Master Series Trust on behalf of itself and each Underlying Series Trust enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity. The execution, delivery and performance by such Seller and each Master Series Trust of each Repurchase Document to which it is a party do not and will not (a) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any (i) Governing Document, Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligation or Contractual Obligation applicable to such Seller or any of its properties or assets, (ii) Requirements of Law, or (iii) approval, consent, judgment, decree, order or demand of any Governmental Authority, or (b) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the properties or assets of such Seller. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders, filings, notices or other actions of any Person or Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by such Seller and each Master Series Trust of the Repurchase Documents to which it is a party and the sale of and grant of a security interest in each Purchased Asset to Buyer, have been obtained, effected, waived or given and are in full force and effect. The execution, delivery and performance of the Repurchase Documents do not require compliance by such Seller or any Underlying Series Trust with any “bulk sales” or similar law. There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Knowledge of such Seller threatened, against such Seller, a Master Series Trust, Guarantor or any Affiliate of such Seller or Guarantor before any Governmental Authority (a) asserting the invalidity of any Repurchase Document, (b) seeking to prevent the consummation of any Transaction, or (c) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.03 Solvency. No Seller nor any Affiliate of any Seller (excluding any Affiliate that is a Variable Interest Entity) nor any other Relevant Party or any Non-Facility Series Trust is or has ever been the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding. Sellers, Guarantor and each Affiliate of Sellers (excluding any Affiliate that is a Variable Interest Entity) or Guarantor are Solvent and the Transactions do not and will not

- 44 -

render any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller (excluding any Affiliate that is a Variable Interest Entity) or any other Relevant Party not Solvent. Neither Sellers nor Guarantor is entering into the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor. Each Seller has received or will receive reasonably equivalent value for the Repurchase Documents and each Transaction. Each Seller has adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Each Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due.

Section 7.04 Taxes. Each Seller and each Affiliate of each Seller has filed all required federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by them, or with respect to any of their properties or assets (taking into account extensions) and have paid all material Taxes (including mortgage recording Taxes and all income or franchise Taxes) due and payable by them pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by them, except for any such Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Each Seller and each Affiliate of each Seller has paid, or have provided adequate reserves for the payment of, all such Taxes for all prior fiscal years and for the current fiscal year to date. There is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim relating to any such Taxes now pending or threatened in writing by any Governmental Authority which is not being contested in good faith as provided above. No Seller or any Affiliate of Sellers has entered into any agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into any agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of Taxes, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. No tax liens have been filed against any assets of any Seller or Guarantor. No Seller intends to treat any Transaction as being a “reportable transaction” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4. If any Seller determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify Buyer, in which case Buyer may treat each Transaction as subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1 and will maintain the lists and other records required thereunder.

Section 7.05 Financial Condition. The audited balance sheets of Sellers or Guarantor as at the fiscal year most recently ended for which such audited balance sheet is available, and the related audited statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, reported on without a “going concern” or like qualification arising out of the audit conducted by Guarantor’s independent certified public accountants, copies of which have been delivered to Buyer, are complete and correct and present fairly the financial condition of Guarantor as of such date and the results of its operations and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including related schedules and notes, were prepared in accordance with GAAP except as disclosed therein. Guarantor does not have any material contingent liability or liability for Taxes or any long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment, including any Derivative Contract, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or notes. Since the date of the financial statements and other information delivered to Buyer prior to the Closing Date, Guarantor has not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of any material part of its property or assets (except pursuant to the Repurchase Documents) that are material in relation to the financial condition of Sellers.

Section 7.06 True and Complete Disclosure. The information, reports, certificates, documents, financial statements, operating statements, forecasts, books, records, files, exhibits and schedules furnished by or on behalf of any Seller, any Underlying Series Trust or Guarantor to Buyer in connection with the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions (excluding any representation and warranty set forth on Schedule 1-A, 1-B and 1-C and any information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or REO Property

- 45 -

Schedule), when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of any Seller, any Underlying Series Trust or Guarantor to Buyer in connection with the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions will be true, correct and complete in all material respects, or in the case of projections will be based on reasonable estimates prepared and presented in good faith, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

Section 7.07 Compliance with Laws. Each Seller and Master Series Trust on behalf of itself and each Underlying Series Trust has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Laws, and no Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset contravenes any Requirements of Laws.

No properties presently or previously owned or leased by any Seller, any Affiliate of any Seller or their respective predecessors contain or previously contained any Materials of Environmental Concern that constitute or constituted a violation of Environmental Laws or reasonably could be expected to give rise to liability of Seller or Guarantor thereunder. No Seller has Knowledge of any violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability of any Seller under any Environmental Law. Materials of Environmental Concern have not been released, transported, generated, treated, stored or disposed of in violation of Environmental Laws or in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to liability of Seller or Guarantor thereunder. Each Seller and all Affiliates of each Seller are in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and any foreign counterpart thereto. No Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller has made, offered, promised or authorized a payment of money or anything else of value (a) in order to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, (b) to any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, or (c) with the intent to induce the recipient to misuse his or her official position to direct business wrongfully to any Seller, any Affiliate of any Seller or any other Person, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

No Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller is currently subject to any liability for a complete or

- 46 -

partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan. None of the assets of any Seller or any Guarantor are deemed to be plan assets within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA.

Section 7.09 No Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect. No Event of Default exists. No event of default (however defined) exists under any Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligations or Contractual Obligations of any Seller (excluding the Repurchase Documents). Each Seller believes that it is and will be able to pay and perform each agreement, duty, obligation and covenant contained in the Repurchase Documents and Asset Documents to which it is a party, and that it is not subject to any agreement, obligation, restriction or Requirements of Law which would unduly burden its ability to do so or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Seller has any Knowledge of any actual or prospective development, event or other fact that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Internal Control Event has occurred.

Section 10.02 Remedies of Buyer as Owner of the Purchased Assets. If an Event of Default exists, at the option of Buyer, exercised by notice to Sellers (which option shall be deemed to be exercised, even if no notice is given, automatically and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.01(f), (i) or (j)), the Repurchase Date for all Purchased Assets shall be deemed automatically and immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to be exercised, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”). If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the foregoing option:

(a) All Repurchase Obligations shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date.

(b) All amounts in the Waterfall Account and all Income paid after the Accelerated Repurchase Date shall be retained by Buyer and applied in accordance with Article 5.

- 60 -

(c) Buyer may complete any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in blank and otherwise obtain physical possession of all Records and all other instruments, certificates and documents then held by Custodian under the Custodial Agreement. Buyer may obtain physical possession of all Servicing Files and other files and records of Seller and Servicer. Sellers shall deliver to Buyer such assignments and other documents with respect thereto as Buyer shall request.

(d) Buyer may immediately, at any time and from time to time, exercise either of the following remedies with respect to any or all of the Purchased Assets: (i) sell such Purchased Assets, direct the related Trustee to sell the related Underlying Assets, or terminate any Master Series Trust or Underlying Series Trust and sell the related Underlying Assets, on a servicing-released basis and/or without providing any representations and warranties on an “as-is where is” basis, in a recognized market and by means of a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer accepts, and apply the net proceeds thereof in accordance with Article 5, or (ii) retain such Purchased Assets, or terminate any Master Series Trust or Underlying Series Trust and retain the related Underlying Assets, and give Sellers credit against the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset (or if the amount of such credit exceeds the Repurchase Price allocable to such Purchased Assets and/or Underlying Assets, to credit against Repurchase Obligations due and any other amounts then owing to Buyer by any other Person pursuant to any Repurchase Document, in such order and in such amounts as determined by Buyer), in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets and/or Underlying Assets. Until such time as Buyer exercises either such remedy with respect to a Purchased Asset, Buyer may hold such Purchased Asset for its own account and retain all Income with respect thereto until the Repurchase Obligations have been paid in full. Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets with respect to any such disposition thereof. Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets. The foregoing procedure for disposition and liquidation of the Purchased Assets and/or Underlying Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Each Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets and/or Underlying Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets and/or Underlying Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Buyer shall be entitled to place the Underlying Assets in a pool for issuance of mortgage backed securities at the then prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market.

(e) The Parties agree that the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets are of such a nature that they may decline rapidly in value, and may not have a ready or liquid market. Accordingly, Buyer shall not be required to sell more than one Purchased Asset or direct the related Trustee to sell more than one Underlying Asset on a particular Business Day, to the same purchaser or in the same manner. Buyer may determine whether, when and in what manner a Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset shall be sold, it being agreed that both a good faith public and a good faith private sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Buyer shall not be required to give notice to any Seller or any other Person prior to exercising any remedy in respect of an Event of Default. If no prior notice is given, Buyer shall give notice to the related Seller of the remedies exercised by Buyer promptly thereafter.

(f) Buyer shall have the right to direct the related Servicer to remit all collections thereon to Buyer, and if any such payments are received by any Seller, Guarantor or Servicer, such Seller shall not and shall not permit Guarantor or such Servicer to commingle the amounts received with other funds of such Seller, Guarantor or such Servicer and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer. Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any Servicer with or without cause.

- 61 -

(g) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and/or Underlying Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Repurchase Obligations in the manner Buyer deems appropriate until the Repurchase Obligations have been paid in full, and any remaining proceeds shall be paid to the related Seller.

(h) Each of the Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable to Buyer for (i) any amount by which the Repurchase Obligations due to Buyer exceed the aggregate of the net proceeds and credits referred to in the preceding clause (d), (ii) the amount of all actual out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (iii) any costs and losses payable under Section 12.03, and (iv) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(i) Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction, an order of specific performance or other equitable relief to compel Sellers to fulfill any of its obligations as set forth in the Repurchase Documents, including this Article 10, if any Seller fails or refuses to perform its obligations as set forth herein or therein.

(j) Each Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of such Seller for purposes of carrying out the Repurchase Documents, including executing, endorsing and recording any instruments or documents and taking any other actions that Buyer deems necessary or advisable to accomplish such purposes, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(k) Buyer may, without prior notice to Sellers, exercise any or all of its set-off rights including those set forth in Section 8. This Section 10.02(k) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which any Party is at any time otherwise entitled.

(l) All rights and remedies of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents, including those set forth in Section 18.18, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have and may be exercised at any time when an Event of Default exists. Such rights and remedies may be enforced without prior judicial process or hearing. Each Seller agrees 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. Each Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses such Seller might have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process or otherwise arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets and/or Underlying Assets, or any other election of remedies.

ARTICLE 11

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 11.01 Grant.

(a) For all but U.S. federal and relevant state and local income and franchise tax purposes, Buyer and Sellers intend that all Transactions shall be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Sellers secured by the Purchased Assets. However, to preserve and protect Buyer’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and under the Repurchase Documents in the event that any Governmental Authority recharacterizes the Transactions as other than sales, and as security for Sellers’ performance of the Repurchase Obligations, each Seller hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets (which for this purpose shall be deemed to include the items described in the proviso in the definition thereof), and the transfers of the Purchased Assets to Buyer shall be deemed to constitute and confirm such

- 62 -

grant, to secure the payment and performance of the Repurchase Obligations (including the obligation of such Seller to pay the Repurchase Price, or if the Transactions are recharacterized as loans, to repay such loans for the Repurchase Price).

(b) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Assets (including without limitation, any security interest such Seller may have in the Purchased Assets and any other collateral granted by such Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder. Each Seller further acknowledges that it has no rights to the Underlying Assets or Servicing Rights related to the Underlying Assets, except in its capacity as owner of the beneficial interest in the Underlying Series Trusts, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in order to further secure the Repurchase Obligations hereunder, in the event a Seller or Master Series Trust is deemed to retain any interest in any Underlying Asset or any residual Servicing Rights, such Seller or Master Series Trust grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and Lien upon all of its rights, title and interest in and to the related Underlying Assets and Servicing Rights. In addition, each Seller shall and shall cause each Servicer to grant, assign and pledge to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to all Servicing Records and rights to receive Servicing Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Servicing File with respect to each of the Underlying Assets, and all Income related to the Underlying Assets received by such Seller or such Servicer and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, and together with the pledge of Underlying Assets and Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Sellers’ Repurchase Obligations to Buyer hereunder.

Section 11.02 Effect of Grant. If any circumstance described in Section 11.01 occurs, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement as defined in the UCC, (b) Buyer shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party by Requirements of Law (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and the right to set off any mutual debt and claim) and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller, (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of the Repurchase Obligations, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency, (d) the possession by Buyer or any of its agents, including Custodian, of the Records, the Purchased Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents, securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law, and (e) notifications to Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law. The security interest of Buyer granted herein shall be, and each Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that it is, a first priority perfected security interest. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each Purchased Asset secures the Repurchase Obligations of the related Seller with respect to all other Transactions and all other Purchased Assets, including any Purchased Assets that are junior in priority to the Purchased Asset in question, and (B) if an Event of Default exists, no Purchased Asset relating to a Purchased Asset will be released from Buyer’s Lien or transferred to any Seller until the Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to each Seller.

- 63 -

Section 11.03 Sellers to Remain Liable. Buyer and Sellers agree that the grant of a security interest under this Article 11 shall not constitute or result in the creation or assumption by Buyer of any Retained Interest or other obligation of any Seller or any other Person in connection with any Purchased Asset, whether or not Buyer exercises any right with respect thereto. Each Seller shall remain liable under the Purchased Assets to perform all of such Seller’s duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if the Repurchase Documents had not been executed.

Section 11.04 Rights with Respect to Trust Certificates. If any Seller shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate evidencing any option rights or any other equity interest in a Trust Certificate, whether in addition to, in substitution for, as a conversion of, or in exchange for the related Trust Certificate or otherwise in respect thereof, such Seller shall assign and deliver the same forthwith to Buyer in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Seller, together with an undated transfer power, if required, covering such certificate duly executed in blank. Any sums paid upon or in respect of a Trust Certificate upon the liquidation or dissolution of a Master Series Trust or Underlying Series Trust shall be paid over to Buyer and applied to the payment of the outstanding Repurchase Price.

Section 11.05 Waiver of Certain Laws. Each Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Assets may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Purchased Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Buyer or such court may determine.

ARTICLE 12

INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Section 12.01 Market Disruption. If prior to any Pricing Period, Buyer determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Pricing Period, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Sellers, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such Pricing Period, and for all subsequent Pricing Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the Alternative Rate.

Section 12.02 Illegality. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Repurchase Documents, (a) any commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions shall be terminated, (b) the Pricing Rate shall be converted automatically to the Alternative Rate on the last day of the then current Pricing Period or within such earlier period as may be required by Requirements of Law, and (c) if required by such adoption or change, the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred.

Section 12.03 Breakfunding. Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) which Buyer may sustain or incur arising from (a) the failure by any Seller to terminate any

- 64 -

Transaction after such Seller has given a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3.05, (b) any payment to Buyer on account of the outstanding Repurchase Price, including a payment made pursuant to Section 3.05 but excluding a payment made pursuant to Section 5.03, on any day other than a Distribution Date (based on the assumption that Buyer funded its commitment with respect to the Transaction in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods that Buyer deems appropriate and practical), (c) any failure by any Seller to sell Eligible Assets to Buyer after such Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with this Agreement, or (d) any conversion of the Pricing Rate to the Alternative Rate because the LIBO Rate is not available for any reason on a day that is not the last day of the then current Pricing Period.

Section 12.04 Increased Costs. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority 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 having jurisdiction over Buyer made after the date of this Agreement (a) shall subject Buyer to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Repurchase Documents, any Purchased Asset or any Transaction, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for: (i) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 12.06, (ii) Excluded Taxes and (iii) any changes in the rate of tax on Buyer’s overall net income), (b) 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, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer, or (c) shall impose on Buyer any other condition; and the result of any of the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount that Buyer deems to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions, or to reduce any amount receivable under the Repurchase Documents in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Sellers shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as reasonably necessary to fully compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

Section 12.05 Capital Adequacy. If Buyer determines that the adoption of or any change in any Requirements 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 after the date of this Agreement has or 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, in any such case, Sellers shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as reasonably necessary to fully compensate Buyer for such reduction.

Section 12.06 Withholding Taxes.

(a) All payments made by any Seller to Buyer or any other Indemnified Person under the Repurchase Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by law. If any Taxes are required by law (as determined in such Seller’s good faith discretion) to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to Buyer and/or any other Indemnified Person, then such Seller shall (i) make such deduction or withholding, (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due and (iii) to the extent the withheld or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, pay to Buyer or other Indemnified Person such additional amounts (the “Additional Amount”) as may be necessary so that every net payment made under this Agreement after deduction or withholding for or on account of such Indemnified

- 65 -

Tax or Other Tax (including any Taxes on such increase and any penalties) is not less than the amount that would have been paid absent such deduction or withholding.

(b) In addition, each Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement.

(c) Sellers agree to jointly and severally indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including Additional Amounts respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12.06(c), provided that Buyer shall have provided Sellers with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Sellers, of payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d) Buyer and any assignee of Buyer shall deliver to Sellers and Guarantor:

(i) in the case of a Buyer or any assignee of Buyer which is a “U.S. Person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to backup withholding;

(ii) in the case of a Buyer or any assignee of Buyer which is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Code section 7701(a)(30): (A) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, evidencing entitlement to a zero percent or reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax withholding on any payments made hereunder; (B) in the case of such non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from the withholding of U.S. federal income tax under Code sections 871(h) or 881(c) with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a duly executed certificate to the effect that such non-U.S. Person is not (x) a “bank” described in Code section 881(c)(3)(A), (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Seller, Guarantor of affiliate thereof, within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(B), or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Code section 881(c)(3)(C); (C) to the extent such non-U.S. person is not the beneficial owner of the rights and obligations represented by this Agreement, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8-BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such non-U.S. person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such non-U.S. person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such non-U.S. person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and (D) executed originals of any other form or supplementary documentation prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by law to permit Sellers or Guarantor to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; provided, that such other form or supplementary documentation shall not be required if the delivery of such form of documentation would subject Buyer or the assignee of Buyer to any material unreimbursed expenses or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position or would materially adversely affect such Buyer or such assignee of Buyer, as reasonably determined by Buyer or such assignee of Buyer; and

(iii) if a payment made to Buyer or an assignee of Buyer under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or

- 66 -

assignee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer or assignee shall deliver to the related Seller or Guarantor at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Seller as may be necessary for such Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 12.06(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by Buyer on or before the Closing Date, and by each assignee of Buyer on or prior to the date of the assignment, to the extent permissible under applicable law at such respective times. Buyer agrees that if any form or certification previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.06 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 12.06(a)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Seller or Buyer hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each Seller and Buyer contained in this Section 12.06 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents, the repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations or the assignment of any of the Parties’ rights hereunder. Nothing contained in this Section 12.06 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(g) Promptly after any Seller pays any Taxes referred to in this Section 12.06, such Seller will send Buyer appropriate evidence of such payment.

(h) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal and relevant state and local income Taxes to treat each Transaction as an indebtedness secured by the Purchased Assets, and the Purchased Assets as owned by any Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by such Seller. Buyer and Sellers agree that they will treat and report for all such purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans secured by the Purchased Assets, unless otherwise required by law or a final determination by any taxing authority.

The obligations of Sellers under this Article 12 shall apply to Eligible Assignees and Participants and survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the indefeasible payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

any Person or other source, whether related or unrelated to any Seller or any Underlying Obligor, (6) the imposition, recording or filing or the threatened imposition, recording or filing of any Lien on any Mortgaged Property with regard to, or as a result of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or pursuant to any Environmental Law, or (7) any misrepresentation or failure to perform any obligations pursuant to any Repurchase Document or Asset Document relating to environmental matters in any way, or (xii) any Seller’s conduct, activities, actions and/or inactions in connection with, relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing clauses of this Section 13.01, that, in each case, results from anything whatsoever other than any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Person in connection with any Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Underlying Asset, Sellers shall defend, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Person harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or Underlying Obligor arising out of a breach by any 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 Underlying Obligor from such Seller. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.01 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Seller, an Indemnified Person or any other Person or any Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any Transaction is entered into. This Section 13.01(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, unless such Taxes represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 13.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Person or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, even though such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under the express terms thereof, then Sellers shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Person on the one hand and Sellers on the other hand, the relative fault of such Indemnified Person, and any other relevant equitable considerations.

(c) An Indemnified Person may at any time send Sellers a notice showing the calculation of Indemnified Amounts, and Sellers shall pay such Indemnified Amounts to such Indemnified Person within ten (10) Business Days after Sellers receive such notices. The obligations of Sellers under this Section 13.01 shall apply to Eligible Assignees and Participants and survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

(d) No Indemnified Person shall settle any claim that is subject to indemnification hereunder without Sellers’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which consent shall not be required if Sellers are not performing in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 13.01.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that if a Party is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation,”

ARTICLE 17

SERVICING

This Article 17 shall apply to all Underlying Assets to the extent that the servicing thereof is within the direct or indirect control of any Seller or an Affiliate of any Seller.

Section 17.01 Servicing of Underlying Assets.

(a) During the period any Underlying Assets are subject to a Transaction hereunder, each Seller agrees that (i) each Master Series Trust is the owner of the related Servicing Rights and all Servicing Files, for the exclusive benefit of holder of the related Trust Certificate, and (ii) the related Servicer shall service such Underlying Assets for the exclusive benefit of Buyer.

(b) Each Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with the related Servicer to service the Underlying Assets consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Seller customarily requires with respect to similar Underlying Assets owned or managed by it and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, which contract shall be collaterally assigned to Buyer to the extent it relates to the Underlying Assets. Each Servicer shall also (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 responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Underlying Assets or any payment thereunder. The servicing of any Underlying Asset with any Servicer may be terminated in accordance with Section 17.01(f) hereof.

(c) Each Seller shall cause each Servicer to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by such Servicer with respect to any Underlying Assets in segregated trust accounts at such Servicer and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.

(d) Each Seller shall cause each Servicer to deposit all Income and Escrow Payments received by such Servicer on the related Underlying Assets into the applicable Waterfall Account in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof.

(e) As a condition precedent to Buyer funding any Transactions hereunder and following the termination of any Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and upon the appointment of any successor Servicer, the related Seller shall provide promptly to Buyer a Servicer Letter Agreement addressed

- 72 -

to and executed by such Servicer, advising such Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including (i) recognition by such Servicer of Buyer’s beneficial ownership interest in such Underlying Assets and the related Servicing Agreement, (ii) that it owes its duties to Buyer as beneficial owner of the Underlying Assets (subject to the related Seller’s interim right to direct and control servicing prior to a termination of such rights as a result of a termination of such Seller’s servicing rights pursuant to Section 17.01(f) hereof or an Event of Default under this Agreement or such Servicer’s termination pursuant to Section 17.01(h)), (iii) agreement by such Servicer to comply with the Servicing Standards, and (iv) that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, such Servicer will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Underlying Assets and any related Income and Escrow Payments with respect thereto.

(f) Subject to the applicable Servicing Agreement, each Servicer’s rights to service the Underlying Assets shall terminate automatically at the end of each thirty (30) day anniversary of the Restatement Date unless Buyer extends in writing (in the monthly report delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or in a separate writing) such Servicer’s right to service the Underlying Assets (such initial thirty (30) day period, together with each subsequent thirty (30) day period, the “Servicing Term”). Upon the occurrence of Buyer’s non-renewal of any Seller’s servicing rights hereunder or Buyer’s non-renewal of any Servicing Term under any Servicing Agreement, such Seller’s servicing rights hereunder or such Servicer’s right to service the Underlying Assets, as applicable, shall automatically terminate, in each case without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or a Servicer Termination Event, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate any Seller’s servicing rights hereunder or any Servicer’s right to service the Underlying Assets, as applicable, in each case without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Each Seller and each Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the related Seller’s servicing rights hereunder or the servicing of the Underlying Assets, as applicable, to Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer, it being agreed that each Seller will pay any fees and expenses required to terminate such Seller’s servicing rights hereunder or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and transfer servicing.

(g) If any Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any Seller, any Servicer or any entity responsible for managing or servicing any Underlying Assets has failed to perform fully any Seller’s obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Underlying Assets, such Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

(h) Upon the termination of any Servicer’s rights to service the Underlying Assets, Sellers shall cause such Servicer to deliver all Servicing Files and the physical and contractual servicing to the designee of Buyer within thirty (30) days of such termination, unless otherwise directed in writing by Buyer. Such delivery of the Servicing Files by such Servicer shall be in accordance with customary and prudent mortgage banking standards for the delivery of servicing for assets similar to the Underlying Assets and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of all escrows held for the related mortgagors (without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”).

(i) Buyer shall have the right to appoint a third party to perform due diligence with respect to any Servicer at any time. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Change of Control that is approved by Buyer, Sellers shall cooperate and cause such Servicer to cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees to provide access to such Servicer’s servicing facilities, as applicable, including without limitation its books and records with respect to such Servicer’s servicing portfolio and the related Underlying Assets and any other information Buyer may reasonably request regarding such Servicer or its servicing activities. In addition to the foregoing, Sellers shall permit Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time, any Servicer’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that such Servicer has the ability to service the Underlying Assets as provided in this Agreement. In addition,

- 73 -

at any time that any Servicer is not an Affiliate of any Seller, each Seller shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Servicer and to cause such Servicer to cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees in connection with any due diligence performed by Buyer and/or such designees in accordance with this Section 17.01(i). Each Seller and Buyer further agree that all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with any due diligence or inspection performed pursuant to this Section 17.01(i) shall be paid by Sellers, subject to the cap set forth in Section 6.02(c).

(j) As a condition precedent to Buyer funding any Transactions hereunder in which related Underlying Assets will be interim serviced by an Interim Servicer, Sellers shall provide promptly to Buyer an Interim Servicer Letter Agreement (which condition precedent Buyer may waive in its sole discretion) addressed to and executed by each Interim Servicer, advising such Interim Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including (A) recognition by each Interim Servicer of Buyer’s beneficial ownership interest in such Underlying Assets and the related interim servicing agreement, (B) agreement by each Interim Servicer that it owes its duties to Buyer as beneficial owner of the Underlying Assets (subject to the related Seller’s interim right to direct and control servicing prior to a termination of such rights as a result of a termination of the related Seller’s servicing rights pursuant to Section 17.01(f) hereof or an Event of Default under this Agreement), (C) agreement by each Interim Servicer to comply in all material respects with the applicable Servicing Standards, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and (D) agreement by each Interim Servicer that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, such Interim Servicer will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Underlying Assets and any related Income and Escrow Payments with respect thereto. No Underlying Asset may be interim serviced by an Interim Servicer for a period greater than (i) thirty (30) days following such Underlying Asset becoming subject to a Transaction if Servicer is interim servicing or sub-servicing the related Underlying Asset, and (ii) sixty (60) days following such Underlying Asset becoming subject to a Transaction if a servicer other than Servicer is interim servicing or sub-servicing such Underlying Asset.

Section 17.02 Fees and Expenses of Servicer. All fees and expenses of any Servicer shall be borne solely by Sellers.

Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 12 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c), but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment thereunder than Buyer would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Sellers’ prior written consent. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.02(j) and 18.18 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c).

(c) Buyer may at any time, without consent of any Seller or Guarantor but upon notice to Sellers, sell and assign to any Eligible Assignee all or any portion of all of the rights and obligations or duties of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents. Each such assignment shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit K (an “Assignment and Acceptance”). From and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) such Eligible Assignee shall be a Party and, to the extent provided therein, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents with respect to the percentage and amount of the Repurchase Price allocated to it, (ii) Buyer shall, to the extent provided therein, be released from such obligations (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents, Buyer shall cease to be a Party), (iii) the obligations of Buyer shall be deemed to be so reduced, and (iv) Buyer will give prompt written notice thereof (including identification of the Eligible Assignee and the amount of Repurchase Price allocated to it) to each Party (but Buyer shall not have any liability for any failure to timely provide such notice). Any sale or assignment by Buyer of rights or obligations under the Repurchase Documents that does not comply with this Section 18.08(c) shall be treated for purposes of the Repurchase Documents as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 18.08(b); provided, that no assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment thereunder than Buyer would have been entitled to receive had the assignment not occurred, unless the assignment is made with Sellers’ prior written consent. Buyer shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and participants and a copy of any executed assignment and acceptance documents by the Buyer and assignee, respectively, specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned.

(d) Sellers shall cooperate reasonably with Buyer in connection with any such sale and assignment of participations or assignments and shall enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Repurchase Documents to give effect to any such sale or assignment; provided, that none of the foregoing shall change any economic or other material term of the Repurchase Documents in a manner adverse to Sellers without the consent of Sellers.

(e) Buyer shall have the right to partially or completely syndicate and or all of its rights under the Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents to any Eligible Assignee.

Section 18.09 Ownership and Hypothecation of Purchased Assets. Title to all Purchased Assets shall pass to and vest in Buyer on the applicable Purchase Dates. Subject to the terms of the Repurchase

- 77 -

Documents, Buyer or its designee shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and be entitled to exercise all rights, privileges and options relating to the Purchased Assets as the owner thereof, including rights of subscription, conversion, exchange, substitution, voting, consent and approval, and to direct any servicer or trustee. Buyer or its designee may engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise sell, pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecate, or rehypothecate the Purchased Assets, all on terms that Buyer may determine; provided, that the counterparty to any such transaction is (A) a “U.S. person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or a non-U.S. person that is entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on the receipt of interest payments (and can sufficiently document such exemption), or (B) any other Person to which Seller has consented; provided further, that no such transaction shall affect the obligations of Buyer to transfer the Purchased Assets to the applicable Seller on the applicable Repurchase Dates free and clear of any pledge, Lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties herein and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

Section 18.10 Confidentiality. All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Repurchase Documents or the Transactions shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Party to any Person except (a) to the Affiliates of such Party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep it confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or required by Requirements of Law, (c) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either Party or an Affiliate thereof, (d) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Repurchase Documents, Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets, (e) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (f) to any actual or prospective Participant or Eligible Assignee which agrees to comply with this Section 18.10; provided, that no such disclosure made with respect to any Repurchase Document shall include a copy of such Repurchase Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Repurchase Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 18.11 No Implied Waivers. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy under the Repurchase Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy thereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies in the Repurchase Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Application of the Default Rate after an Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or Buyer’s rights and remedies with respect thereto, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate is applied. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Repurchase Documents, no amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Repurchase Documents shall be effective without the signed agreement of Sellers and Buyer. Any waiver or consent under the Repurchase Documents shall be effective only if it is in writing and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 18.12 Notices and Other Communications. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given to a Party hereunder shall be in writing and sent prepaid by hand delivery, by certified or registered mail, by expedited commercial or postal delivery service, or by facsimile or email, to the address for such Party specified in Schedule 2 or such other address as such Party shall specify from time to time in a notice to the other Party. Any of the foregoing communications shall be effective when delivered or upon the first attempted

- 78 -

delivery on a Business Day. A Party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements of this Section 18.12 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

Section 18.13 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any other Repurchase Document may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any other Repurchase Document and any notices hereunder may be transmitted between them by email and/or facsimile. The parties intend that faxed signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files shall constitute original signatures and are binding on all parties.

Section 18.14 No Personal Liability. No administrator, incorporator, Affiliate, owner, member, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Buyer, any Indemnified Person, any Seller or Guarantor, as such, shall be subject to any recourse or personal liability under or with respect to any obligation of Buyer, any Seller or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents, whether by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed that the obligations of Buyer, each Seller and Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents are solely their respective corporate, limited liability company or partnership obligations, as applicable, and that any such recourse or personal liability is hereby expressly waived. This Section 18.14 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

Section 18.15 Protection of Buyer’s Interests in the Purchased Assets; Further Assurances.

(a) Each Seller shall cause the Repurchase Documents and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of Buyer to the Purchased Assets to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect such right, title and interest. Each Seller shall deliver to Buyer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. Each Seller shall execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 18.15.

(b) Each Seller will promptly at its expense execute and deliver such instruments and documents and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request from time to time in order to perfect, protect, evidence, exercise and enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under and with respect to the Repurchase Documents, the Transactions and the Purchased Assets.

(c) If any Seller fails to perform any of its Repurchase Obligations, Buyer may (but shall not be required to) perform or cause to be performed such Repurchase Obligation, and the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith shall be payable by such Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller authorizes Buyer, at the option of Buyer and the expense of such Seller, at any time and from time to time, to take all actions and pay all amounts that Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, preserve, insure, service, administer, manage, perform, maintain, safeguard, collect or realize on the Purchased Assets and Buyer’s Liens and interests therein or thereon and to give effect to the intent of the Repurchase Documents. No Default or Event of Default shall be cured by the payment or performance of any Repurchase Obligation by Buyer on behalf of any Seller. Buyer may make any such payment in accordance with any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or

- 79 -

estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax Lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by the related Seller in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller will, no earlier than six (6) or later than three (3) months before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of each UCC financing statement filed in connection with to any Repurchase Document or any Transaction, (i) deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing statement; provided that Buyer may elect to file such continuation statement, and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, confirming and updating the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the security interests hereunder continue to be enforceable and perfected security interests, subject to no other Liens of record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.

(e) Except as provided in the Repurchase Documents, the sole duty of Buyer, Custodian or any other designee or agent of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets shall be to use reasonable care in the custody, use, operation and preservation of the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets in its possession or control. Buyer shall incur no liability to any Seller or any other Person for any act of Governmental Authority, act of God or other destruction in whole or in part or negligence or wrongful act of custodians or agents selected by Buyer with reasonable care, or Buyer’s failure to provide adequate protection or insurance for the Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets. Buyer shall have no obligation to take any action to preserve any rights of any Seller in any Purchased Asset or Underlying Assets against prior parties, and each Seller hereby agrees to take such action. Buyer shall have no obligation to realize upon any Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset except through proper application of any distributions with respect to the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets made directly to Buyer or its agent(s). So long as Buyer, Custodian or any other designee or agent of Buyer shall act in good faith in their handling of the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets, each Seller waives or is deemed to have waived the defense of impairment of the Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets by Buyer, Custodian or such designee or agent.

(f) At Buyer’s election, and at any time during the term of this Agreement, after delivery by Buyer to the applicable Seller of prior written notice, Buyer may record any or all of the Assignment Documents (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) as further evidence of Buyer’s ownership interest in the related Purchased Assets.

Section 18.16 Default Rate. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, Sellers shall pay interest at the Default Rate on the amount of all Repurchase Obligations not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents until such Repurchase Obligations are paid or satisfied in full.

Section 18.17 Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. However, no such termination shall affect Sellers’ outstanding obligations to Buyer at the time of such termination, nor shall it affect the survivability of any provisions in this Agreement that, by their express terms, are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement or any of the other Repurchase Documents and the repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

Section 18.18 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Repurchase Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise, Sellers and Guarantor, each on behalf of itself and each of its respective Affiliates, hereby grants to Buyer and each Indemnified Person, to secure repayment of the Repurchase Obligations, a right of set-off upon any and all of the following: (i) monies, securities, collateral

- 80 -

or other property of each Seller and Guarantor and each of their respective Affiliates and any proceeds from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person, for the account of each Seller or such Affiliate of each Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, (ii) any and all deposits (general, specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or Indebtedness of any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor at any time existing, (iii) any obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor and (iv) any Repurchase Obligations or Indebtedness owed by any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor and any Indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Repurchase Documents and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time held or owing by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person to or for the credit of any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency; provided, that Buyer shall not exercise its right to set-off under this Section 18.18 with respect to any Affiliate of Guarantor unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Each of Buyer, each Affiliate of Buyer and each Indemnified Person is hereby authorized upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor to Buyer or any Indemnified Person under the Repurchase Documents, the Repurchase Obligations or otherwise or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice to Sellers, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Sellers and each Affiliate of Sellers to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to set-off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set-off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or any Indemnified Person by any Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Seller or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall have made any demand under the Repurchase Documents and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover any deficiency. Each Seller and all Affiliates of Sellers shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and the other Indemnified Parties by any Seller and all Affiliates of any Seller under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, and Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to exercise the rights of set-off provided for above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR UNDERLYING ASSETS OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNDER THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET-OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY EACH SELLER AND EACH AFFILIATE OF EACH SELLER.

Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the applicable Seller or such affected Affiliate of Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer or such Indemnified Person; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. If an amount or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant Party accounting to the other Party when the amount or obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 18.18 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 18.18 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which any Party is at any time otherwise entitled.

Section 18.19 Power of Attorney. Each Seller and each Master Series Trust on behalf of itself and each Underlying Series Trust hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Each Seller and each Master Series

- 81 -

Trust on behalf of itself and each Underlying Series Trust hereby appoints Buyer as such Person’s agent and attorney in fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in such Person’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Assets, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing (including, but not limited, to sending “good-bye letters” on behalf of such Person and the applicable Servicer to any Mortgagor in the form of Exhibit L with respect to Underlying Assets which are Mortgage Loans), and sign assignments on behalf of such Person as its agent and attorney in fact. This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder. Sellers shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 18.19. In addition, each Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer a power of attorney in the form set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto (“Seller’s Power of Attorney”).

Section 18.20 Sellers’ Waiver of Setoff. Each Seller hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be or become entitled under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise against Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, any Indemnified Person or their respective assets or properties.

Section 18.21 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Buyer may perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, Underlying Assets, any Seller and Affiliates of any Seller, including ordering new third party reports, for purposes of, among other things, verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, ordering BPOs at any time during the term of this Agreement, covenants, agreements, duties, obligations and specifications made under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise. As often as commercially reasonable in Buyer’s judgment and upon reasonable prior notice to Sellers, unless a Default or Event of Default exists, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its representatives may during normal business hours inspect any properties and examine, inspect and make copies of the books and records of any Seller and Affiliates of any Seller, the Records and the Servicing Files. Each Seller shall make available to Buyer one or more knowledgeable financial or accounting officers and representatives of the independent certified public accountants of such Seller for the purpose of answering questions of Buyer concerning any of the foregoing. Each Seller shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause Servicer to cooperate with Buyer by permitting Buyer to conduct reasonable due diligence reviews of the related Servicing Files. Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from any Seller or fund a Purchase Price Increase based solely on the information provided by such Seller to Buyer in the Underwriting Package and the representations, warranties, duties, obligations and covenants contained herein, and Buyer may at any time conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets, including ordering new credit reports and new appraisals on related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate and underwrite such Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets or Underlying Assets itself or engage a mutually acceptable third-party underwriter to do so. Sellers shall be responsible for all of the due diligence costs and expenses incurred by Buyer; provided, that any due diligence expenses greater than $15,000 in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period shall be subject to Sellers’ prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 18.22 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations, duties, covenants, agreements, notices or actions or inactions of the parties under the Repurchase Documents.

Section 18.23 Joint and Several Repurchase Obligations.

- 82 -

(a) At all times when there is more than one Seller under this Agreement, each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable to Buyer to the maximum extent permitted by Requirements of Law for all Repurchase Obligations, (ii) the liability of Sellers (A) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until all Repurchase Obligations shall have been paid in full and the expiration of any applicable preference or similar period pursuant to any Insolvency Law, or at law or in equity, without any claim having been made before the expiration of such period asserting an interest in all or any part of any payment(s) received by Buyer, and (B) until such payment has been made, shall not be discharged, affected, modified or impaired on the occurrence from time to time of any event, including any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of Seller, (1) the waiver, compromise, settlement, release, termination or amendment (including any extension or postponement of the time for payment or performance or renewal or refinancing) of any of the Repurchase Obligations, (2) the failure to give notice to any Seller of the occurrence of an Event of Default, (3) the release, substitution or exchange by Buyer of any Purchased Asset (whether with or without consideration) or the acceptance by Buyer of any additional collateral or the availability or claimed availability of any other collateral or source of repayment or any nonperfection or other impairment of collateral, (4) the release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable for all or any part of the Repurchase Obligations, whether by Buyer or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding affecting Seller or any other Person who, or any of whose property, shall at the time in question be obligated in respect of the Repurchase Obligations or any part thereof, or (5) to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any other event, occurrence, action or circumstance that would, in the absence of this Section 18.23, result in the release or discharge of any or all Sellers from the performance or observance of any Repurchase Obligation, (iii) Buyer shall not be required first to initiate any suit or to exhaust its remedies against Seller or any other Person to become liable, or against any of the Purchased Assets, in order to enforce the Repurchase Documents and each Seller expressly agrees that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, such Seller shall be and remain directly and primarily liable for all sums due under any of the Repurchase Documents, (iv) when making any demand hereunder against any Seller, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other Seller, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any other Seller, or any release of any such other Seller shall not relieve such Seller in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or such Seller is not so released of their obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Buyer against such Seller, and (v) on disposition by Buyer of any property encumbered by any Purchased Assets, Sellers shall be and shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency.

(b) To the extent that any Seller (the “paying Seller”) pays more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, the paying Seller shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Seller that has not paid its proportionate share; provided, that the provisions of this Section 18.23 shall not limit the duties, covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of any Seller to Buyer, and, notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the paying Seller hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of the paying Seller by Buyer, the paying Seller shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Buyer against any other Seller or any collateral security or guarantee or right of setoff held by Buyer, nor shall the paying Seller seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Seller in respect of payments made by the paying Seller hereunder, until all Repurchase Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the paying Seller on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all such amounts shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the paying Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of the paying Seller, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the paying Seller, be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by the paying Seller (duly indorsed by the paying Seller to Buyer, if required),

- 83 -

to be applied against the Repurchase Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Buyer may determine.

Other than any loan modifications completed by the related Seller or a Servicer in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, 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 or will be recorded if necessary where and as required by law. The material terms of any such modifications by the related Seller or a Servicer or as required by law have been accurately reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

4)No Defenses. To the best of the related Seller’s Knowledge, the Underlying Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

5)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 the related Seller as of the date of origination, against risks commonly insured against by Persons owning like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan. 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 reasonably 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 Underlying 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 1974 unless such Property is a condominium. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming either of Seller or Servicer, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by the related Seller or Servicer, as applicable. All premiums on such insurance policy that have become due 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 therefore from such Mortgagor.
