MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

This is a MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 14, 2017, among QL ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (“Seller”), QL ▇▇▇▇▇▇ REO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as REO Subsidiary (“REO Subsidiary” and together with Seller, the “Seller Parties”), QUICKEN LOANS INC., a Michigan corporation, as owner and servicer and as guarantor (“Guarantor”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a banking association organized under the laws of the United States (the “Buyer”).

Section 1.              Applicability. On the initial Purchase Date, the Seller shall transfer to Buyer the Participation Interests (which Participation Interests represent all of the economic, beneficial, and equitable ownership interests in the Underlying Mortgage Loans, including the Servicing Rights related thereto) against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to transfer to Seller such Participation Interests at a date certain not later than the Termination Date in connection with a transfer of funds by Seller. From time to time, the Seller may request Purchase Price Increases for the Transaction in conjunction with the allocation of an Underlying Mortgage Loan to the Participation Interests resulting in an increase in the Asset Value of such Participation Interests. Each such transaction and Purchase Price Increase shall be referred to herein as a “Transaction” and shall be governed by this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in writing, including any supplemental terms or conditions contained in any annexes identified herein, as applicable hereunder. This Agreement is not a commitment by Buyer to enter into the Transactions with Seller but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with periodic requests for Buyer to enter into the Transactions with the Seller. Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer is under no obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement.

From time to time, upon foreclosure or other conversion of an Underlying Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall contribute to the REO Subsidiary its economic, beneficial, and equitable ownership interests in the resulting REO Property; provided, however, that bare legal title to such REO Property shall remain with Guarantor, as Nominee. In order to further secure the Obligations hereunder, (a) Guarantor shall pledge its interest, if any, in the Purchased Assets, Underlying Assets and the Pledged Items and (b) the REO Subsidiary shall pledge its interest, if any, in the Purchased Assets, Underlying REO Properties and the Pledged Items, in each case, to Buyer.

On the initial Purchase Date, Seller will pledge the Eligible REO Subsidiary Interests with respect to the REO Subsidiary in connection with the initial Transaction.

Section 2.              Transaction Overview. Guarantor will purchase delinquent, defaulted, modified and to be modified Mortgage Loans from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Securities. Guarantor will issue a Participation Interest to Seller representing a beneficial interest in certain of such Mortgage Loans which Participation Interests (and the Underlying Mortgage Loans) shall be subject to Transactions hereunder. To the extent that an Underlying Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Property, such REO Property (other than the bare legal title) shall be transferred to REO Subsidiary, and the corresponding increase in the Asset Value of the pledged REO Subsidiary

Interests shall be intended to support the outstanding Purchase Price paid for the related Mortgage Loan following the Conversion Date.

This Agreement refers to REO Subsidiary Interests representing direct beneficial interests in Underlying REO Property. The parties understand that Underlying REO Property is owned by the REO Subsidiary and that the REO Subsidiary Interest represents the ownership interest in the Underlying REO Property. Accordingly, to the extent that this Agreement refers to beneficial interests in Underlying REO Property owned by REO Subsidiary or any other property owned by a separate legal entity, such references shall be construed as referring to such Underlying REO Property owned by REO Subsidiary or other such property owned by such separate legal entity.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties expressly agree that unless there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default, (i) once a Transaction is entered into, the Seller is not required to repurchase the Purchased Assets related thereto until the earlier of the Repurchase/Release Date or the Termination Date (regardless of whether the Underlying Mortgage Loan converts to Underlying REO Property), and (ii) in the event that a Purchased Asset, Underlying Asset or Pledged Asset becomes a Defective Asset, such change shall only impact the Asset Value attributed to the applicable Purchased Asset, Underlying Asset or Pledged Asset (which could result in a Margin Call, but shall not, by itself, result in an accelerated Repurchase/Release Date for the Purchased Asset, Underlying Asset or Pledged Asset).

(d)           Each Underlying Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction hereunder shall be an Early Buyout Mortgage Loan. After an Early Buyout:

(i)            if such Underlying Mortgage Loan remains a defaulted mortgage loan, it shall become subject to an Agency Claim Process as appropriate. On commencement of an Agency Claim Process, Seller shall give notice to Buyer of commencement of such Agency Claim Process. All Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to such Agency Claim Process shall designate the Nominee on the applicable Agency electronic submission as payee. Upon receipt of proceeds, Servicer shall transfer funds into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days, as more particularly set forth in Section 32 hereof; and

(ii)           if such Underlying Mortgage Loan becomes subject to foreclosure and/or conversion to an Underlying REO Property, REO Subsidiary shall cause such real property to be taken by deed, or by means of such instruments as is provided by the Governmental Authority governing the transfer, or right to request transfer and issuance of the deed, or such instrument as is provided by the related Governmental Authority, or to be acquired through foreclosure sale in the jurisdiction in which the Underlying REO Property is located, in the name of the Nominee for the benefit of REO Subsidiary (the date on which any such event occurs, the “Conversion Date”).

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that an Underlying Mortgage Loan is converted to an Underlying REO Property, a Purchase Price Increase shall be deemed to occur with respect to the related REO Subsidiary Interest and shall be offset against the current

32

outstanding Purchase Price for the related Underlying Mortgage Loan by a Purchase Price Decrease with respect to the related Participation Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall have a continuous Lien on the Mortgage Loan through foreclosure of such Underlying Mortgage Loan and the resulting Underlying REO Property and any transfer thereof shall, in all cases, be made subject to the Lien of Buyer.

(e)          Repurchase.

(i)            Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or there is an outstanding Margin Deficit, Seller may, in its sole option, repurchase Purchased Assets or obtain the release of Underlying Mortgage Loans or Underlying REO Properties without penalty or premium on any date (each, an “Optional Repurchase/Release”). The Repurchase/Release Price payable for the repurchase of any such Purchased Asset or release of Underlying Mortgage Loans or Underlying REO Property shall be reduced as provided in Section 5(f). If Seller intends to make such a repurchase or obtain such a release, Seller shall give one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto to Buyer, designating the Purchased Asset to be repurchased or Underlying Mortgage Loans or Underlying REO Property to be released. If such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, and, on receipt, such amount shall be applied to the Repurchase/Release Price for the designated Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans, or Underlying REO Property. Immediately following receipt of the Repurchase/Release Price by Buyer, the related Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans, or Underlying REO Property shall cease to be subject to this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, and Buyer shall be deemed to have released all of its interests in such Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans, or Underlying REO Property, as applicable, including the Pledged Items related thereto, without further action by any Person. Provided that no Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall have occurred and be continuing or will result therefrom, and Buyer has received the applicable Repurchase/Release Price, Buyer shall be deemed to permit the release from the Seller of the related Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans, or Underlying REO Property attributable to such Optional Repurchase/Release (including the Pledged Items related thereto). The applicable Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans, or Underlying REO Property and the Pledged Items related thereto shall be delivered to Seller or the designee of Seller free and clear of any Lien created by or through Buyer.

(ii)           On the Repurchase/Release Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by reassignment and release to Seller or its designee of the Purchased Asset, Pledged Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loan or Underlying REO Property (and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 6) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase/Release Price to an account of Buyer. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset, Pledged Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loan or Underlying REO Property (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase/Release Price for such Purchased Asset,

33

Pledged Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loan or Underlying REO Property on each Payment Date except as otherwise provided herein). Seller is obligated to obtain the Asset Files from Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase/Release Date.

(iii)          On the related Repurchase/Release Date following receipt of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released its interest in each applicable Purchased Asset and/or Pledged Asset (including the applicable Underlying Mortgage Loans, Underlying REO Property, and Pledged Items) in each case without any further action by Buyer or any other Person.

Section 5.              Margin Amount Maintenance; Determination of Asset Value. (a) Buyer shall determine the Asset Value (without duplication) of the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Property at such intervals as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion (which may be performed on a daily basis, at the Buyer’s good faith discretion).

(b)           If at any time the Asset Value of all Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to all Transactions and Underlying REO Properties (without duplication) in connection with all Transactions is less than the aggregate Purchase Price for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash so that the aggregate Asset Value of the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties, including any such cash, will thereupon equal or exceed the aggregate Purchase Price for all Transactions (such transfer, a “Margin Deficit Payment”); provided that Buyer shall only make a Margin Call if a Margin Deficit in excess of [***] exists. If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer cash to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) [***] day. In the event Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on [***] Business Day.

(c)           Reserved.

(d)           Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(e)           If at any time the Asset Value of the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions hereunder and Underlying REO Properties (without duplication) in connection with Transactions hereunder as of any date of determination is greater than the aggregate Purchase Price for all Transactions plus accrued and unpaid Price Differential (a “Margin Excess”), then, Seller may, by prior written notice to Buyer (an “Excess Margin Notice”), require Buyer to (i) remit such Margin Excess and such Margin Excess shall be added to Purchase Price outstanding or (ii) release Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and/or Underlying REO Properties equal to the amount of the Margin Excess. If Seller delivers an Excess Margin Notice to Buyer on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City

34

time) on any Business Day, then Buyer shall transfer such Margin Excess or release such Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and/or Underlying REO Properties to Seller no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) that same day. In the event Seller delivers an Excess Margin Notice to Buyer after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Buyer shall be required to transfer such Margin Excess or release such Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) succeeding Business Day. Buyer shall not be obligated to remit Margin Excess or release Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties to the extent (A) it would cause the outstanding Purchase Price to exceed the Maximum Facility Amount; (B) a Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after such action by Buyer; (C) such action would be inconsistent with Buyer’s determination of Asset Value in accordance with this Agreement, or (D) such action would cause a Margin Deficit.

(f)            Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 5(b) or 5(c) above shall be credited to the Repurchase/Release Price of the related Transactions.

Section 6.              Accounts; Income Payments. (a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accreted value of the Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) plus the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit (each such payment, a “Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment”) on each Payment Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Seller fails to make all or part of the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Payment Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment is received in full by Buyer.

(b)           Buyer shall establish and maintain a Reserve Account, in the form of a deposit account, titled in the name of “JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association”. The Reserve Account shall be established at the Bank. Seller shall maintain a balance in the Reserve Account at least equal to the Reserve Account Required Balance, which will be held as cash margin and additional collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement. Funds deposited in the Reserve Account may only be transferred in accordance with Section 6(c) hereof. Any interest on funds deposited in the Reserve Account shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to application pursuant to Section 6(c). Upon the Termination Date and the payment of all amounts due by the Seller to the Buyer hereunder, all amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be remitted to the Seller. In the event that the amounts on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient to cover the amounts due pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) through (iv), the Buyer shall withdraw from the Reserve Account on the Payment Date the lesser of such deficiency and the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account for application against such amounts as more particularly described in Section 6(c). In the event that the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account are more than the Reserve Account Required Balance, the Buyer shall withdraw from the Reserve Account on the Payment Date the difference between the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account and the Reserve Account Required Balance for deposit in the Collection Account and application pursuant to Section 6(c). Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the distribution and application of funds on deposit in the

35

Reserve Account shall, at the direction of the Buyer, be applied as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

(c)           Seller shall, and shall cause Servicer to, hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income received by or on behalf of Seller or the REO Subsidiary with respect to such Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Property. Seller shall cause Servicer to deposit such Income in the Collection Account (the title of which shall indicate that the funds therein are being held in trust for Buyer) with Bank, which account shall be subject to the Collection Account Control Agreement. All such Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer except for tax purposes which shall be treated as income and property of Seller, and shall not be commingled with other property of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller. Seller understands and agrees that the Collection Account shall be subject to the Collection Account Control Agreement. Seller shall cause Nominee to deposit all Income received in an Agency Account into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt into the applicable Agency Account; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if Seller pays to Buyer the Repurchase/Release Price with respect to an Underlying Mortgage Loan after such Underlying Mortgage Loan becomes subject to an Agency Claim Process (a “Repurchase/Release Event”), then any amounts paid on such claim shall not be required to be deposited into the Collection Account. Funds deposited in the Collection Account during any month shall be held therein, in trust for Buyer, until the next Payment Date. On each Payment Date, Seller shall withdraw any funds on deposit in the Collection Account and apply such funds as follows:

(i)            first, to pay any invoiced and outstanding fees and expenses of Buyer;

(ii)           second, to Buyer in payment of any accrued and unpaid Price Differential;

(iii)          third, in an amount to prevent or cure any Margin Deficit;

(iv)          fourth, to deposit into the Reserve Account, to maintain a balance in such account equal to the Reserve Account Required Balance;

(v)           fifth, to pay to Buyer any other fees, expenses and the Obligations due and owing to the Buyer pursuant to the Facility Documents; and

(vi)          sixth, to the Seller, any amounts remaining.

(d)           To the extent that Buyer receives any funds from a Take-out Investor with respect to the purchase by such Take-out Investor of an Underlying Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall promptly apply such funds in accordance with the same order of priority set forth in Section 6(c) hereof.

(e)           Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred, all funds in the Collection Account and Reserve Account shall be withdrawn and applied as determined by Buyer; provided that any excess funds remaining following the reimbursement to Buyer of the aggregate Obligations shall be remitted to Seller.

36

Section 7.              Requirements Of Law. (a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

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

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

(iii)          shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, following receipt by the Seller of the documentation required in Section 7(c) below Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b)           If Buyer shall have in good faith determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, following receipt by the Seller of the documentation required in Section 7(c) below, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction.

(c)           If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled (the “Yield Protection Notice”); provided that Seller shall only be obligated to pay those amounts pursuant to this Section 7 to the extent incurred by the Buyer within ninety (90) days prior to, or on or after delivery of notice thereof to the Seller. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7 submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a Yield Protection Notice, the Seller may either agree to pay such amount or may elect to terminate this Agreement and pay the outstanding Obligations including all unpaid fees and expenses due to the Buyer within ninety (90) days of such Yield Protection Notice.

Section 8.              Taxes.

(a)           Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 8) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, (i) Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes) and (ii) Taxes attributable to a Buyer’s failure to comply with Sections 8(e) and (f) of this Agreement.

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

(c)           Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 8 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by the Seller provided for in this Section 8(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 8(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

(d)           Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

38

(e)           For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 8, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

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

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

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

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

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

39

applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of the Seller, provided, however, that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi)          in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 8 if such beneficial owner were Buyer; or

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

If Buyer provided a form pursuant to clause (e) and the form provided by Buyer at the time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 8, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in Section 22 of this Agreement to the contrary, and unless a Seller Event of Default has occurred, Buyer shall not assign or grant a participation in this Agreement to any Person that is not a United States person without Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and, in the event any United States withholding taxes are imposed on any payment under this Agreement as a result of Buyer’s assignment or grant of a participation in this Agreement to any Person that is not United States person, any such United States withholding taxes (other than taxes described in Section 7 hereof that occur after the date of assignment or grant of a participation of this Agreement) shall constitute Excluded Taxes.

(f)            For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document as prescribed in subsection (e) of this Section 8 (other than if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer), Buyer shall not be entitled to

40

indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 8 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

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

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

(a)           Security Interest. On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the related Purchased Assets.

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

Seller Parties and Guarantor hereby authorize Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Pledged Items as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 9.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the Participation Interests and the REO Subsidiary Interests shall constitute and remain “securities” as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code; each of Seller and Guarantor covenants and agrees that (i) the Participation Interests and the REO Subsidiary Interests are not and will not be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or securities markets and (ii) the Participation Interests and the REO Subsidiary Interests are not and will not be investment company securities within the meaning of

44

Section 8-103 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all steps as may be necessary in connection with the endorsement, transfer, delivery and pledge of all Participation Interests and the REO Subsidiary Interests to Buyer.

If Seller shall, as a result of its ownership of the Participation Interests or REO Subsidiary Interests, become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate evidencing any Participation Interest or REO Subsidiary Interest, any option rights, or any equity interest in REO Subsidiary, whether in addition to, in substitution for, as a conversion of, or in exchange for the Participation Interests or REO Subsidiary Interests, as applicable, or otherwise in respect thereof, Seller shall accept the same as the Buyer’s agent, hold the same in trust for the Buyer and deliver the same forthwith to the Buyer in the exact form received, duly indorsed by Seller to the Buyer, if required, together with an undated transfer power, if required, covering such certificate duly executed in blank, or if requested, deliver the Participation Interests or REO Subsidiary Interests, as applicable, re-registered in the name of Buyer, to be held by the Buyer subject to the terms hereof as additional security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Participation Interests or REO Subsidiary Interests upon the liquidation or dissolution of Seller or REO Subsidiary, as applicable, or otherwise shall be paid over to the Buyer as additional security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Participation Interests or REO Subsidiary Interests shall be received by Seller, Seller shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Buyer, hold such money or property in trust for the Buyer segregated from other funds of Seller, as additional security for the Obligations.

(b)           Voting Rights. Buyer shall exercise all voting rights with respect to the Participation Interests, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Pledged Assets, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, (a) Buyer shall take direction from Seller prior to the exercise of any rights under this Section, and (b) Seller shall have the right to direct Buyer to take one or more actions or to not take one or more actions (in the event any action is requested or required to be taken) and Buyer shall comply with such direction unless Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion that such compliance with such direction shall result in a breach of a provision of this Agreement; provided that Buyer shall in no event be required to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement or any Facility Document. In no event shall Buyer be required to cast or exercise a vote or other action taken which would impair the Pledged Assets, or Buyer’s interests in the Pledged Assets, or which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation to, (a) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit the REO Subsidiary to issue any interests of any nature or to issue any other interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any interests of such entity, or (b) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Assets, other than as contemplated by this Agreement or (c) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to Seller’s or REO Subsidiary’s interest in the Pledged Items, except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement and any transfer of Pledged Items contemplated hereby, or (d) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Guarantor, Seller, REO Subsidiary or Buyer to sell, assign or transfer the Pledged Items. Buyer shall, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, exercise all voting and member rights with respect to the Pledged Assets.

45

(c)           Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Each Seller Party and Guarantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Seller Party or Guarantor, as applicable, and in the name of such Seller Party or Guarantor, as applicable, or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Seller Party and Guarantor hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of such Seller Party or Guarantor, as applicable, without assent by, but with notice to, such Seller Party or Guarantor, as applicable, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i)            in the name of such Seller Party or Guarantor, as applicable, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any other Pledged Items and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Pledged Items whenever payable;

(ii)           to pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Pledged Items;

(iii)          (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Pledged Items to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Pledged Items; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Pledged Items; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Pledged Items or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Pledged Items; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Pledged Items; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; provided that in no event shall Buyer agree to a settlement in which an admission of guilt or wrongdoing shall be imposed on Seller as a result of such settlement or compromise without the Seller’s prior written consent; (G) to cause the mortgagee of record to be changed to Buyer on the FHA, VA or USDA system, as applicable, with respect to any Pledged Items; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Pledged Items as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Pledged Items and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Seller Party or Guarantor, as applicable, might do.

46

Each Seller Party and Guarantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition to the foregoing, each Seller Party and Guarantor agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit E hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof.

For the purposes hereof, good standing shall include qualification for any and all required governmental licenses and payment of any and all taxes required, due and payable in the jurisdiction of its organization and in each jurisdiction in which a Seller Party or Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries transact business. Each of the Seller Parties and Guarantor has no Subsidiaries except those set forth on Exhibit I hereto, or otherwise identified by such Seller Party or Guarantor to Buyer in writing, and such writing correctly states the name of each such Subsidiary as it appears in its articles of incorporation or formation filed in the jurisdiction of its organization, along with the address, place of organization, each state in which such Subsidiary is qualified as a foreign corporation or entity, and the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of such Seller Party or Guarantor , as applicable, in such Subsidiary.

Since the date of the balance sheet most recently provided, there has been no Material Adverse Effect, nor does a Responsible Officer have actual knowledge of any state of facts particular to Guarantor that (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) would reasonably be expected to result in any such Material Adverse Effect.

For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Buyer as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Buyer’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or

79

Termination Event hereunder, Guarantor will comply with the Buyer’s instructions with respect to the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(e)                                  If Guarantor or Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

(f)                                   For the avoidance of doubt, neither Seller nor Guarantor shall retain any economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties; provided that Guarantor shall continue to service the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder. As such, Seller and Guarantor expressly acknowledge that the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties are sold or pledged to Buyer, as applicable, on a “servicing released” basis.

(g)                                  Seller shall, with respect to any Servicer (other than Guarantor), provide promptly to Buyer (i) a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties, advising such Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties and any related Income with respect thereto.

Section 20.            Recording Of Communications. Buyer, Seller and Guarantor shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions upon notice to the other party of such recording.

Section 21.            Due Diligence. Each of Seller and Guarantor acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to Seller Parties, the Guarantor, the Servicer, the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to any Transaction and Underlying REO Property in connection with any Transaction or otherwise pledged hereunder, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and each of Seller and Guarantor agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior notice to Seller unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans, Underlying REO Properties of the Seller (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the possession or under the control

80

of Seller, Guarantor, Servicer and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, Seller shall create and deliver to Buyer within twenty (20) calendar days of such request, an electronic copy on CD or DVD, in a format acceptable to Buyer, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files, the Purchased Assets, the Pledged Assets, the Underlying REO Property and the Underlying Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction or Underlying REO Properties pledged in connection with a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering appraisals or BPOs, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan, performing compliance, legal, credit and servicing file reviews, as well as reviews of claim history and files with FHA, VA and USDA and verification of FHA Mortgage Insurance in place, VA Loan Guaranty Agreement in place and USDA Guaranty in place. Buyer may due diligence such Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party due diligence firm to perform such due diligence, subject to such third party due diligence firm executing the Buyer’s standard form of non-disclosure agreement. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party due diligence firm in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party due diligence firm with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties in the possession, or under the control, of Seller provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such on-site visits and/or on-site examinations shall be limited to one (1) per calendar year. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all reasonable third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 21 (“Due Diligence Costs”) in an amount not to exceed the Due Diligence Cap per calendar year; provided that the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. In addition, the Buyer may perform corporate level due diligence on the Seller and Servicer, provided, however, that prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default the Seller shall not be required to pay for such corporate level due diligence more than once per annum (which due diligence shall also be subject to the Due Diligence Cap; provided that the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default).

Section 22.                                    Assignability.

(a)                                 The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by any Seller Party or Guarantor without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a

81

portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such assignee is not an Affiliate of Buyer, Seller shall have the right to consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents and (c) Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller of such assignment. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by a Seller Party or Guarantor.

(b)                                 Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) each Seller Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 8; provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such participant is not an Affiliate of Buyer, Seller shall have the right to consent to such participation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c)                                  Buyer shall, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 22, provide Seller and Guarantor at least ten (10) calendar days prior notice if the prospective assignee or participant is not an Affiliate of the Buyer.

(d)                                 Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 22, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to a Seller Party, Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of a Seller Party, Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to confidentiality provisions substantially similar in scope to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

(e)                                  In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities.

82

Section 23.            Transfer and Maintenance of Register.

(a)           Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 23, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 23 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 23(b) hereof.

(b)           Seller shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record Buyer’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall provide Seller, or maintain as agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or under any applicable Requirement of Law.

Section 24.            Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as Indebtedness of the Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and the Pledged Assets, and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller and the Underlying REO Properties are owned by REO Subsidiary in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 25.            Set-Off. (a) Except to the extent specifically permitted herein, each Seller Party and Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all right to setoff for or on account of any obligation or liability of Buyer, any Buyer’s participant or any of their Affiliates under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, whether pursuant to contract or applicable law, in equity or otherwise, with respect to any funds or monies of Buyer, any Buyer’s participant or any of their Affiliates at any time held by or in the possession of any Seller Party or Guarantor.

(b)           Except to the extent specifically permitted herein, Buyer, Buyer’s participants and each of their Affiliates under this Agreement or any other Facility Document hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all right to setoff for or on account of any obligation or liability of any Seller Party or Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, whether pursuant to contract or applicable law, in equity or otherwise, with respect to any funds or monies of any Seller Party, Guarantor or its Affiliates held by Buyer, Buyer’s participants and each of their Affiliates, including any bank accounts of any Seller Party or Guarantor or any of its Affiliates with any of them or any deposits in such accounts or any amounts due or owing under any Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement among any of them, or any of Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ assets, rights or obligations under any other arrangement or agreement with Seller or any of its Affiliates; provided that if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to any Seller Party or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by such Seller Party and

83

Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Seller Party or Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Facility Document (whether at the stated maturity, by termination, acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) in the Payment Account or the Collection Account or any other funding, operating or other deposit account related to the facility provided for in this Agreement, for the benefit of Buyer; provided further that Buyer may set off funds or monies of any Seller Party or Guarantor on deposit in the Payment Account or the Collection Account or any other funding, operating or other deposit account related to the facility provided for in this Agreement, only against amounts any Seller Party or Guarantor owes to Buyer or any other Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or another Facility Document; and provided further that the foregoing right of setoff shall not apply to any deposit of escrow monies being held on behalf of the mortgagors under Underlying Mortgage Loans. Buyer agrees to promptly notify Seller Parties and Guarantor after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 26.            Terminability. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 18 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 27.            Notices And Other Communications. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by electronic transmission) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Section 4 (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by electronic transmission or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

Section 28.            Entire Agreement; Severability; Single Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with the Facility Documents, constitute the entire understanding among Buyer, the Seller Parties and Guarantor with respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions involving Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties. By acceptance of this Agreement, Buyer, the Seller

84

Parties and Guarantor acknowledge that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement or the Facility Documents. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

(b)           Buyer, the Seller Parties and Guarantor acknowledge that each Transaction hereunder is made in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer, each Seller Party and Guarantor agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted and (iii) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application.

(b)        CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(c)        AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM

(d)         AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO ▇▇▇ IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND

Section 31.            No Waivers, etc. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. An Event of Default and Termination Event shall each be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing.

Section 32.            Nominee.

(a)                   Appointment of Nominee; Maintenance of Accounts.

(i)            Seller Parties and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree, and Seller Parties hereby appoint, Guarantor as (i) their nominee as mortgagee of record and payee on the FHA LEAP System and Guarantor hereby accepts such appointment, (ii) their nominee as payee on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ system and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, (iii) as their nominee as the lender of record and payee with the Rural Housing Services (“RHS”) and Guarantor hereby accepts such appointment, and (iv) as nominee and agent of Seller Parties and Buyer as set forth herein.

(ii)           With respect to those Underlying Mortgage Loans that are FHA Loans, Seller Parties and Buyer desire that the Nominee be designated as mortgagee of record on the FHA LEAP System under mortgagee number [***], and Guarantor shall submit all claims to HUD under such applicable number for remittance of amounts to the Agency Account. Seller Parties hereby instruct Nominee to remit all applicable amounts on deposit in the Agency Account to the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt.

(iii)          With respect to those Underlying Mortgage Loans that are VA Loans, Seller Parties and Buyer desire that the Nominee be designated as the payee under payee vendor identification number [***], and Servicer shall submit all

(v)           Following receipt by Nominee and Servicer each of written notice of the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Nominee and Servicer each agrees to take direction from the Buyer with respect to the FHA Loans, VA Loans and USDA Loans. Prior to such time, Nominee and Servicer each shall take direction from Seller Parties with respect to such FHA Loans, VA Loans and USDA Loans.

(vi)          It is the intent of the Seller Parties and the Buyer that the Nominee retain bare legal title to the Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Property for all purposes including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 541(d) of the Bankruptcy Code and accordingly, Guarantor, in its capacity as servicer or nominee, shall have no property right to the Underlying Mortgage Loans or Underlying REO Property.

(b)           Remittance of Collections.

(i)            The Nominee shall segregate all amounts collected on account of such Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Properties, and shall remit such collections (collectively, the “Funds”) no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt to the Collection Account in accordance with the below instructions. Each Seller Party hereby notifies and instructs the Nominee and the Nominee is hereby authorized and instructed to remit any and all Funds which would be otherwise payable to Seller Parties with respect to the Underlying Mortgage Loans and/or Underlying REO Property to the Collection Account which instructions are irrevocable without the prior written consent of Buyer.

87

such deduction by HUD, VA or USDA, such deducted amounts into the Collection Account.

(c)           Agency Matters.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Guarantor shall take all necessary action to maintain all of its Agency Approvals at all times during the term of this Agreement and each outstanding Transaction. Servicer shall service all Mortgage Loans in accordance with the FHA Regulations, VA Regulations or USDA Regulations, as applicable.

Section 33.            Confidentiality. (a) Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any other party hereto regarding the terms set forth in any of the Facility Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of the other party except to the extent that (i) it is necessary to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any applicable federal or state laws, (ii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of a Default, Buyer determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Assets or Pledged Items or otherwise to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder or (iv) it is necessary to do so in order to obtain necessary consents from lenders, bond holders, or investors to enter into the Facility Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller and Guarantor may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer. The Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that all information

88

provided by a Seller Party or Guarantor to Buyer regarding any servicing data, performance data, loan stratifications or any other data of any loans and REO properties a Seller Party, Guarantor or Seller Affiliate owns and/or is servicing, in each case, whether or not such information is related to Eligible Assets shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of the Seller Parties, Guarantor or Seller Affiliate (as applicable) except to the extent Buyer determines such information to be necessary to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder. The provisions set forth in this Section 33 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each party hereto shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets, Underlying Assets and Pledged Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Each party hereto understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act (the “GLB Act”), and each party hereto agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Each Seller Party and Guarantor shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the GLB Act) of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which Buyer holds (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Guarantor shall, at a minimum establish and maintain such data security program as is necessary to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 12 C.F.R. Parts 30, 208, 211, 225, 263, 308, 364, 568 and 570, and shall cause the Seller Parties to comply therewith, to the extent applicable. Upon request, each Seller Party and Guarantor will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that such Seller Party and/or Guarantor has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section. Without limitation, this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of each Seller Party and/or Guarantor. Each Seller Party and Guarantor shall notify Buyer promptly following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to such Seller Party or Guarantor by Buyer or such Affiliate. Each Seller Party and Guarantor shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

Section 34.            Intent. (a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Pledged Items constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

89

Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).

(b)           Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets, Pledged Assets, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Underlying REO Property delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

(c)           The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto 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)           It is understood 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 hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(e)           This Agreement is intended to be a “master netting agreement”, “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 101(47), Section 555, Section 559, Section 561 and Section 741 under the Bankruptcy Code.

SCHEDULE 1-B

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS

With respect to each Underlying Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder, Seller shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties set forth below to Buyer as of the Purchase Date and as of each date such Underlying Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction.

Seller is making these representations and warranties contained in Schedule 1-B  to the best of its knowledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Underlying Mortgage Loan would fail to comply with any applicable representation and warranty in this Schedule 1-B but for Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect thereto, then notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such Underlying Mortgage Loan shall nevertheless be deemed to have breached the applicable representation and warranty and Seller acknowledges that such Underlying Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have a Market Value of zero in accordance with the definition of Market Value hereunder. For purposes of this Schedule 1-B and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to an Underlying Mortgage Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Underlying Mortgage Loan or when no portion of the Purchase Price is allocated to such Underlying Mortgage Loan.

(a)           Underlying Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the related Asset Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects. No Underlying Mortgage Loan is a reverse mortgage, a construction mortgage, a rehabilitation mortgage, HELOC or commercial loan.

(b)           No Outstanding Charges. All Taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid.

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

Sch. 1-B-1

(d)           No Defenses. 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, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Underlying Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Underlying Mortgage Loan was originated.

(e)           Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by an insurer acceptable to FHA, VA, USDA and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ (a “Qualified Insurer”), and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller, any prior owner or any Servicer, as applicable, as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (2) the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Servicer, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Underlying Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Servicer. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, nor has any knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws and unfair and deceptive practices laws applicable to the Underlying Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations.

(g)           No Satisfaction of Mortgage. Except as permitted or required by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Underlying Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller, any prior owner or any Servicer waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(h)           Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected (a) with respect to each first lien Underlying Mortgage Loan, first priority lien and first priority security interest, on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property (which criterion shall be deemed satisfied so long as any intervening Lien with priority, such as (but not limited to) an ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, is curable and is promptly cured), including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

(i)           the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

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

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

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Underlying Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein.

Sch. 1-B-3

(i)            Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with an Underlying Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Underlying Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties.

Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. The applicable originator, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would or may invalidate any such policy.

For purposes of this Schedule 1-D and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Pooled Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Pooled Loan.
