(i) The Sellers and Purchaser hereby agree to allocate the Aggregate Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and file or cause to be filed in a timely fashion any information that may be required pursuant to regulations promulgated under the Code.

(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the Second Closing Date or, if the Second Closing does not occur, within ninety (90) days after the First Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a schedule (an “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the sum of the Aggregate Purchase Price (as may be adjusted under Section 2.04) and the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets, in such amounts reasonably determined by the Sellers to be consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(iii) Purchaser shall have a period of forty-five (45) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule (the “Response Period”) to present in writing to the Sellers notice of any objections Purchaser may have to the allocations set forth therein (an “Allocation Objections Notice”). Unless Purchaser timely objects, such Allocation Schedule shall be binding on the Parties without further adjustment, absent manifest error.

(iv) If Purchaser shall raise any objections within the Response Period, the Sellers and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute. If the Parties fail to agree within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Allocation Objections Notice, then the disputed items shall be resolved in accordance with the mechanics applicable under Section 2.04.

(v) For all Tax purposes, Purchaser and the Sellers agree to report the Transactions in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and that none of them will take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return.

(e) No Set Off. Neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall have any set off or any other similar rights with respect to any of the funds received by such Party pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of this Agreement.

(f) Tax Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Sellers for all purposes of this Agreement.

(g) Prorations. Except to the extent otherwise specifically provided for herein and except to the extent the Book Value of such Liabilities are not deducted from the Aggregate Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03(a), Schedule 2.03(a)(1) and Schedule 2.03(a)(2), (i) all payments under or pursuant to any Assumed Contract (including document custodial arrangements and applicable insurance policies) or Contract for the Seller Licensed Intellectual Property, (ii) all items of income and expense with respect to the Owned Real Property and the Leased Real Property, and (iii) all real and personal property Taxes related to the Purchased Assets, whether or not payable after the Second Closing Date, shall be prorated between the Sellers and Purchaser on the basis of a 365 day year, or for contracts payable on a monthly basis on the basis of a 30 day month, and the number of days elapsed and days remaining in the applicable period through the end of the Second Closing Date. With respect to the real and personal property Taxes, such proration shall be based on the most recent assessments of the real property and the personal property located thereon for the Taxing period(s) prior to the Second Closing Date and the then applicable Tax rates. With respect to any products sold (or services rendered) pursuant to any Assumed Contract or Contract for the Seller Licensed Intellectual Property, the Sellers and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for vendors to ▇▇▇▇ the Sellers directly, through and including the Second Closing Date, and Purchaser directly after the Second Closing Date. To the extent that vendors ▇▇▇▇ the Sellers after the Second Closing Date for any such products or services provided after the Second Closing Date, the Sellers shall forward such bills to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall pay such bills when due. To the extent that vendors ▇▇▇▇ Purchaser after the Second Closing Date for any such products or services provided before the Second Closing Date, Purchaser shall forward such bills to the Sellers, and the Sellers shall pay such bills when due to the extent such bills are not otherwise included in the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price or otherwise included in the True-up Payment. A final determination of all amounts prorated pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) shall occur at the time Purchaser prepares and delivers to the Sellers the Post-Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.04, and any payment required by the Sellers or Purchaser pursuant to such determination (“True-up Payment”) shall be reflected in the Purchase Price Adjustment.

(h) Payment With Respect to Returned Payments. At the time Purchaser prepares and delivers to the Sellers the Post-Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.04, Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers a schedule listing all Returned Payments for review by the Sellers. Not later than the fifteenth (15th) day after receipt of such schedule, the Sellers may submit to Purchaser their written objection to any item reflected therein by notice to Purchaser. Purchaser shall make available to the Sellers such books, records and other information as the Sellers may reasonably request to review such schedule. If the Sellers timely object to any item reflected in such schedule, the Sellers and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith toward resolving such objection as promptly as practicable (and in any event not later than thirty (30) days following the Sellers’ timely objection). Promptly (and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days) following the aggregate amount of Returned Payments being finally determined, Purchaser shall pay the Sellers the amount of such Returned Payments.

Section 2.04 Post-Closing Purchase Price Calculation.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in any event not later than ninety (90) days after the Second Closing Date or, if the Second Closing does not occur, within ninety (90) days after the First Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Sellers the following:

(i) a statement in the format presented on Schedule 2.03(a)(1) and Schedule 2.03(2) (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth the Agency Purchase Price and the Non-Agency Purchase Price as of the Applicable Closing Date and prepared on a basis consistent with the Interim Balance Sheet;

(ii) updated data tapes, as of the Cut-off Date, containing the information of the same categories and same format as in the First Closing Cut-off Date Servicing Rights Data Tape and the Second Closing Cut-off Date Servicing Rights Data Tape;

(iii) updated data tapes, as of the Applicable Closing Date, containing the information of the same categories and same format as in the First Closing Cut-off Date Servicer Advance Data Tape and the Second Closing Cut-off Date Servicer Advance Data Tape;

(iv) an updated data tape, as of the Second Closing Date, containing the information of the same categories and same format as in the Cut-off Date Master Servicing Data Tape;

(v) Schedule 2.01(a)(vii) (First Closing Credits and Prepaid Items) updated as of the First Closing Date;

(vi) Schedule 2.01(b)(ix) (Second Closing Credits and Prepaid Items) updated as of the Second Closing Date;

(vii) Schedule 1.01(a)(1) (Agency Acquired Accounts Receivables) updated as of the First Closing Date;

(viii) Schedule 1.01(a)(2) (Non-Agency Acquired Accounts Receivables) updated as of the Second Closing Date;

(ix) a schedule setting forth the Deferred Servicing Fees with respect to the Agency Servicing Agreements on a loan-level basis updated as of the Cut-off Date;

(x) a schedule setting forth the Deferred Servicing Fees with respect to the Non-Agency Servicing Agreements and the Subservicing Agreements on a loan-level basis updated as of the Cut-off Date;

(xi) Schedule 2.02(a)(vi) (Agency Assumed Liabilities) updated as of the First Closing Date; and

(xii) Schedule 2.02(b)(viii) (Non-Agency Assumed Liabilities) updated as of the Second Closing Date.

In the event that the Sellers agree with the Post-Closing Statement prepared by Purchaser, the Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing, and following such notice the Post-Closing Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and not subject to further review.

(b) If the Sellers in good faith disagree with all or any portion of the Post-Closing Statement, then the Sellers shall notify Purchaser in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”) of such disagreement within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Post-Closing Statement. Each Notice of Disagreement shall set forth in reasonable detail each disputed item or amount and the basis for the disagreement, together with supporting calculations. Any amount, determination or calculation contained in the Post-Closing Statement and not specifically disputed in a timely delivered Notice of Disagreement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and not subject to further review. If a Notice of Disagreement is timely delivered within such forty-five (45) day period, Purchaser and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve each dispute raised therein (each, an “Objection”). Any such resolution shall be evidenced in a writing and executed by an authorized representative of Purchaser and each Seller. If Purchaser and the Sellers are unable to resolve any Objections within ten (10) days after delivery of such Notice of Disagreement, then Purchaser and the Sellers shall jointly engage KPMG (the “Independent Accountant”) to resolve such Objections (acting as an expert and not an arbitrator) in accordance with this Agreement (including Schedule 2.03(a)(1) and Schedule 2.03(a)(2)) as soon as practicable thereafter, but in any event within thirty (30) days after engagement of the Independent Accountant. If KPMG is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, then Purchaser and the Sellers shall select, within ten (10) days after notification that KPMG is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity, a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized independent accounting firm to serve as the Independent Accountant. The Sellers and Purchaser shall cause the Independent Accountant to deliver a written report containing its calculation of the disputed Objections (which calculation shall be within the range of dispute between the Post-Closing Statement and the Notice of Disagreement) within thirty (30) days after engagement of the Independent Accountant. The scope of such firm’s engagement (which shall not be an audit) shall be limited to the resolution of the items contained in the Notice of Disagreement, and the recalculation, if any, of the Post-Closing Statement in light of such resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall not make any determination with respect to any matter other than those matters specifically set forth in the Notice of Disagreement that remain in dispute at the time of such determination. All Objections that are resolved between the Parties or are determined by the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Parties and shall not be subject to further review absent manifest error. The fees, costs and expenses of Purchaser in connection with the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement shall be borne by Purchaser, and the fees, costs and expenses of the Sellers in connection with the preparation of the Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the Sellers. The fees, costs and expenses of Purchaser in connection with the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement shall be borne by Purchaser, and the fees, costs and expenses of the Sellers in connection with the preparation of the Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the Sellers. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant, if any, selected in accordance with this Section 2.04(b) will be paid by the Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the

amount actually contested by or on behalf of such Party. Within fifteen (15) days of the first to occur of either (i) final resolution of the Post-Closing Statement as described above, and (ii) delivery of a notice of determination by the Independent Accountant as described above, any adjustment shall be paid as provided in Section 2.04(d). Any portion of the Purchase Price Adjustment not in dispute shall be paid when due.

(c) Purchaser shall make its financial records relating to the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price, accounting personnel and advisors available to the Sellers, their accountants and other representatives and the Independent Accountant at reasonable times during normal business hours during the review by the Sellers and the Independent Accountant of, and the resolution of any Objections with respect to, the Post-Closing Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers and their representatives will be permitted to review Purchaser’s work papers and the work papers of Purchaser’s independent accountants relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement, as well as all the books, records and other relevant information relating to the Purchased Assets, and Purchaser will make available at reasonable times during normal business hours the individuals then in its employ primarily responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation of, the Post-Closing Statement in order to respond to the reasonable inquiries of the Sellers; provided, however, that the independent accountants of Purchaser will not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Sellers unless and until such Persons have signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants.

(d) Subject to Section 2.04(b), within fifteen (15) days after delivery to the Sellers of the Post-Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.04(a), (i) the Sellers shall pay to Purchaser (w) the amount, if any, by which the First Closing Date Payment exceeds the Agency Purchase Price and/or the Second Closing Date Payment exceeds the Non-Agency Purchase Price each as reflected in the Post-Closing Statement, plus (x) interest on the applicable amount computed pursuant to clause (i)(w) above at the Base Rate for the period from the Applicable Closing Date to the date of payment in full of such amount, plus (y) the amount, if any, of any True-up Payment owed by the Sellers to Purchaser, minus (z) the amount, if any, of any True-up Payment owed by Purchaser to the Sellers; or (ii) Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers (w) the amount, if any, by which Agency Purchase Price exceeds the First Closing Date Payment and/or the Non-Agency Purchase Price exceeds the Second Closing Date Payment, each as reflected in the Post-Closing Statement, plus (x) interest on the amount computed pursuant to clause (ii)(w) above at the Base Rate for the period from the Applicable Closing Date to the date of payment in full of such amount, plus (y) the amount, if any, of any True-up Payment owed by Purchaser to the Sellers, minus (z) the amount, if any, of any True-up Payment owed by the Sellers to Purchaser (in each case, the “Purchase Price Adjustment”). Payments by the Sellers or Purchaser, as the case may be, pursuant to the preceding sentence will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Aggregate Purchase Price shall be equal to the sum of the First Closing Date Payment, the Second Closing Date Payment and the Purchase Price Adjustment.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Second Closing does not occur, this Section 2.04, including the Post-Closing Statement, any Notice of Disagreement and any Objection thereto, and any True-up Payment owed by one party to the other, shall only apply with respect to the First Closing and the Agency Purchase Price.

In addition, the Sellers may include in the Seller Disclosure Schedules disclosure with respect to items that would not have a Material Adverse Effect within the meaning of such term, and any such inclusion shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement by the Sellers that such items, or any of them, represent material exceptions, are reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect or further change, amend or define the meaning of the term “Material Adverse Effect” for purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, the Seller Disclosure Schedules and the Purchaser Disclosure Schedules is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of contract).

Purchaser shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Financing Commitments (except for any such amendments, modifications or waivers which, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to prevent, delay or impair the availability of the Financing under the Financing Commitments or the consummation of the Transactions) without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions applicable to Purchaser in the Financing Commitments that are within its control and otherwise comply with its covenants and other obligations thereunder, (iii) negotiate with the Lenders and other third parties and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions contemplated by the Financing Commitments, (iv) consummate the Financing (or a portion thereof) at or prior to the Applicable Closing, (v) enforce its rights under the Financing Commitments in the event of a breach or other failure to fund by a Lender that impedes or delays the Applicable Closing, and (vi) otherwise cause the Lenders to fund on the Applicable Closing Date the Financing (or a portion thereof) required to consummate the transactions to be consummated at the Applicable Closing (including taking enforcement action to cause the Lenders to provide the Financing); provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to agree to terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate, materially less favorable to Purchaser than those set forth in the Financing Commitments. Upon the reasonable request of the Sellers, Purchaser

shall inform the Sellers of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and any material developments relating to the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall give the Sellers prompt notice: (A) upon becoming aware of any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default) by Purchaser, or to the Knowledge of Purchaser, any other party to any Financing Commitment or definitive document related to the Financing; (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any (x) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of any Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Financing or (y) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Financing; and (C) if for any reason Purchaser believes in good faith that (x) there is a reasonable likelihood to be a material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Financing or (y) it is reasonably likely that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents related to the Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date the Sellers deliver to Purchaser a written request, Purchaser shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Sellers relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence. Purchaser shall refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that is reasonably likely to result in the failure of any conditions contained in the Financing Commitments or any definitive agreement related thereto. If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Commitments, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain financing as promptly as practicable from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to replace the Financing as promptly as practicable and without the imposition of any new or additional conditions and without any adverse amendment to existing conditions to the Financing, and Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 7.05(a) shall apply to such alternative financing and the agreements related thereto as if such alternative financing is the Financing and any commitment related thereto is the Financing Commitments; provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to agree to terms and conditions with respect to any alternative financing that are, in the aggregate, materially less favorable in any material respect to Purchaser than those set forth in the Financing Commitments.

(b) Prior to the Applicable Closing, the Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents to provide, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, all reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Financing as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser and that is customary in connection with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the Financing, including to (i) provide readily-available financial and other information relating to the Sellers to the Lenders (including information to be used in the preparation of an informational package regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of Purchaser and the Business and Purchased Assets which is customary for such financing or reasonably necessary for the completion of the Financing by the Lenders, to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser (including prior real estate title commitments, surveys, environmental reports and similar information), (ii) assist in the

This indemnification shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer or partial transfer, as the case may be, to Purchaser of each of the Assumed Contracts, the Real Property Leases, and each Contract for Seller Licensed Intellectual Property. In connection with this Section 7.06, neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates shall consent to any material modification of any Assumed Contract, the Real Property Leases, or any Contract for Seller Licensed Intellectual Property or otherwise obligate Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to take or omit to take any material action after the Second Closing without the prior written consent of Purchaser in respect of such Contracts (except in accordance with the terms of such Contracts in effect as of the date of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement or when entered into).

Section 7.07 Failure to Fulfill Conditions.

In the event that any Seller or Purchaser determines that a condition to its obligation to complete the Transactions cannot be fulfilled and that it will not waive that condition, it will promptly notify the other Parties; provided, that no such notification or failure to provide such notification shall affect in any way any party’s rights pursuant to Article VIII or Article X hereunder.

Section 7.08 Employee Matters

(a) With respect to Master Servicing Employees only, the list of Business Employees, along with the information specified in Section 4.13(a), shall be updated by Sellers in writing, and delivered to the Purchaser prior to, and as of five (5) Business Days before, the Continuing Employee Transfer Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Master Servicing Employee” shall be considered to include each employee included on such updated list, as so updated from time to time.

(b) Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof shall offer employment effective on and following the Continuing Employee Transfer Date to each and every Master Servicing Employee who is employed by the Sellers immediately prior to the Continuing Employee Transfer Date, for work at the location of such Master Servicing Employee’s workplace immediately prior to the Continuing Employee Transfer Date, or at a location within twenty-five (25) miles of such location. Each such Master Servicing Employee who accepts such offer, becomes an employee of Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, and actually performs services for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, in each case in connection with the Transactions, shall be referred to herein as a “Continuing Employee”. Such employment of each Continuing Employee shall in each case initially be with a title or in a position comparable to the title or position of such Continuing Employee with the applicable Seller as of the date of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement and with total cash compensation and total compensation and benefits substantially equivalent to the total cash compensation and total compensation and benefits, respectively, of such Master Servicing Employee with the applicable Seller as of the date of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement, as the same may be adjusted after the date of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or as required by applicable Law and reflected in updates to information thereon specified in Section 4.13(a), as updated consistent with this Section 7.08 from time to time (the “Baseline Compensation”); provided that the Purchaser may elect to adjust the Baseline Compensation as of the Continuing Employee Transfer Date by increasing or decreasing the annual rate of each Continuing Employee’s total cash compensation by the amount of any corresponding increase or decrease in the annual rates of employee contributions to group health plans applicable to such Continuing Employee. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Continuing Employees will be employed at will and nothing contained herein shall restrict the Purchaser in the future exercise of its independent business judgment as to the terms and conditions under which employment shall continue, the duration of such employment and the basis upon which such employment is terminated.

(c) Purchaser hereby expressly assumes and agrees to honor, effective from and for twelve (12) months after the Continuing Employee Transfer Date, each of the separation and retention pay plans of the Sellers disclosed in Section 7.08(c) of the Seller Disclosure Schedules

in accordance with their respective terms as of the date of this Agreement (as modified in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or as required by applicable Law), with respect to each Continuing Employee. For a period of not less than twelve (12) months following the Continued Employee Transfer Date, Purchaser shall provide each Continuing Employee with total cash compensation that is not less favorable and total compensation and benefits that are in the aggregate not less favorable than the corresponding components of such Continuing Employee’s Baseline Compensation. To the extent requested by Purchaser, the Sellers shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation to Purchaser to facilitate Purchaser’s assumption or adoption of one or more of the Employee Benefit Plans of the Sellers (or portions thereof) that cover Continuing Employees as of the Continuing Employee Transfer Date.

(d) To the extent that, from or after the Continuing Employee Transfer Date, one or more Continuing Employees are covered under one or more retirement or welfare plans of Purchaser or its Affiliates, such employees shall participate in such plans on terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate than those applicable to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates. Purchaser shall cause those Continuing Employees who are covered under medical, dental, group life or long-term disability insurance or other welfare plans of the Sellers to be eligible to enroll for coverage that is effective immediately following the Continuing Employee Transfer Date in comparable plans of Purchaser or its Affiliates for which they are eligible. No evidence of insurability requirement or prior existing condition limitation not currently imposed by a medical, dental, group life or long-term disability insurance or other welfare plan of the Sellers shall be imposed on Continuing Employees with respect to a comparable medical, dental, group life or long-term disability insurance or other welfare plan of Purchaser or its Affiliate. All Continuing Employees shall receive credit under medical, dental or other welfare plans of Purchaser or its Affiliate in which they participate for any applicable deductibles, co-payments, co-insurance and applicable out-of-pocket amounts paid under corresponding Seller plans; provided, that Sellers promptly provide to Purchaser all information necessary to effectuate the intent of the foregoing. All Continuing Employees will be given credit for prior service to the Sellers and any predecessors thereto for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting (but not for determining benefit accrual) under (i) medical, life, vacation, sick leave, disability and other welfare plans; (ii) retirement plans; and (iii) compensation plans, of Purchaser or its Affiliates, but only to the extent (A) as would not result in a duplication of benefits and (B) the Sellers promptly provide to Purchaser all information necessary to effectuate the intent of the foregoing.

(e) Purchaser agrees to assume responsibility for, and honor, all earned, unused vacation, paid time off and (if applicable) sick days of the Continuing Employees upon their commencement of employment with Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Sellers’ vacation, paid time off and sick pay policy. In no event shall Purchaser have any responsibility or liability for payment of any vacation, paid time off or sick days earned by a Master Servicing Employee who is not a Continuing Employee during his or her employment with the Sellers. The Sellers shall also be responsible for providing any required advance notice of termination, pursuant to the WARN Act or any other similar state or local Law or any other requirement to any Master Servicing Employee who experiences an “employment loss” on or prior to the Continuing Employee Transfer Date, other than with respect to any Master Servicing Employee who is employed by the Sellers immediately prior to the Continuing Employee Transfer Date and is either (i) not offered employment by Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to Section

7.08(b) or (ii) does not commence employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof despite such Master Servicing Employee accepting an offer of employment made pursuant to Section 7.08(b). Purchaser shall assume responsibility for providing any required advance notice of termination, pursuant to the WARN Act or any other similar state or local Law or any other requirement to any Master Servicing Employee who is employed by the Sellers immediately prior to the Continuing Employee Transfer Date.

(f) The Sellers shall be responsible for providing or continuing to provide, as applicable, continuation coverage required under COBRA to all current and former employees of the Sellers other than Continuing Employees and their respective dependents.

(g) The Sellers shall cause, effective as of the Continuing Employee Transfer Date, each Continuing Employee to become fully vested in his or her account balance under the Aurora Bank FSB 401(k) Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”). To the extent requested by Purchaser and not already provided for under the Seller 401(k) Plan, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances to amend, or cause to be amended, the Seller 401(k) Plan to provide for, with respect to any Continuing Employee who elects a “direct rollover” of his or her full account balance, the distribution and rollover of any promissory note evidencing a loan outstanding under the Seller 401(k) Plan.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.08, nothing contained herein, whether expressed or implied, (i) shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by any Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) shall limit the right of any Seller or Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify (or cause to be amended, terminated or otherwise modified) any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement in accordance with its terms, or (iii) create any obligation on the part of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of any employee for any definite period. Each Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.08 are included for the sole benefit of such Seller and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, and that nothing herein, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights (i) in any other person, including any employees, former employees, or any participant (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) in any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (ii) to continued employment with any Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or continued participation in any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement.

The form of all notices by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 7.10(s) shall be subject to the review and reasonable approval of the Purchaser.

(t) Releases. After the Applicable Closing, at the direction of the Sellers, Purchaser shall complete the process of preparing, recording and providing to Serviced Mortgagors lien releases with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans serviced or subserviced by the Sellers prior to and paid off as of the Applicable Closing Date, in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, and the Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual costs and expenses in connection therewith. At the option of the Sellers, Purchaser shall either provide such releases to the Sellers for execution or execute the same pursuant to a power of attorney provided by the Sellers or, with respect to subserviced Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Servicer to Purchaser. To the extent the process of completing the release process has been contracted to third parties and the contracts with those third parties have been assigned to and assumed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor the activities of such third parties in this regard.

From and after the Applicable Closing Date, the Sellers shall remain responsible for implementation of the “Foreclosure Review” identified in Sections 14 through 19 of the Consent Order. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sellers in connection with the Seller’s implementation of such Foreclosure Review, such as providing access to documentation and updates concerning the status of Serviced Mortgage Loan files. From and after the Applicable Closing Date, Purchaser shall service all Foreclosures in process in accordance with any remediation or similar plan adopted by the Sellers (the “Remediation Plans”) pursuant to sections 14 through 19 of the Consent Order. The Sellers shall promptly provide to Purchaser copies of any such Remediation Plans and any supplements or modifications thereto. The Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses and reasonable additional incremental overhead costs that are otherwise incurred by Purchaser, in each case incurred in connection with such cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in order to minimize all such out-of-pocket third party and overhead costs and expenses. Purchaser further agrees to service all Purchased Assets in accordance with the general servicing standards agreed to by institutions that are subject to the Consent Order and generally identified in the Sellers’ Consent Order “Action Plan.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the methodology implemented by Purchaser to ensure compliance with these servicing standards may vary from the methodology adopted by the Sellers; provided, however, that Purchaser shall modify such methodology to the extent (x) the Sellers are so directed by the OCC on or prior to the Applicable Closing Date in accordance with the Consent Order as in effect on the date of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement, (y) Purchaser is notified in writing of such modification and (z) prior to the OCC directing Sellers to make such modification, Sellers have used reasonable efforts to allow Purchaser to attend and participate in any meeting or conference with the OCC during which such modification is discussed. Purchaser shall also

cooperate with the Sellers to facilitate the Seller’s submission of periodic compliance reports to enable the Sellers to comply with the requirements of the Consent Order, including the provision of such data and other information as the sellers may reasonably request in connection therewith. The Sellers shall reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the preparation of such data and other information.

(x) Tax Reporting. Purchaser shall prepare, report to the IRS and provide to Serviced Mortgagors, all in accordance with applicable Law, any and all Tax information required to be provided with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans for the entire year in which the Applicable Closing Date occurs and thereafter, and the Sellers shall provide to Purchaser at its request such information available to the Seller with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods as may be needed to do so, including the complete name and taxpayer identification number of the servicers of the Serviced Mortgage Loans in the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(y) Insured or Guaranteed Mortgage Loans. In connection with the sale and transfer of the Servicing Rights and Subservicing Rights pursuant to this Agreement, if any Serviced Mortgage Loans are insured or guaranteed by any department or agency of any governmental unit, federal, state or local, and such insurance or guaranty is not being specifically terminated by the Sellers, Purchaser represents that Purchaser has been approved by such agency and is an approved servicer. Purchaser further assumes full responsibility for determining whether or not such insurance or guarantees are in full force and effect on the Applicable Closing Date, and with respect to those Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to which any such insurance or guaranty is in full force and effect on the Applicable Closing Date, Purchaser assumes full responsibility for doing all things necessary to insure such insurance or guarantees remain in full force and effect. The Parties agree to cooperate to complete and submit the forms required by the insuring or guaranteeing department or agency to effect or complete the transfer to Purchaser.

(z) Cut-off Date Master Servicing Data Tape. The Sellers shall deliver not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Second Closing Date an updated data tape, as of the Cut-off Date (the “Cut-off Date Master Servicing Data Tape”), containing the information of the same categories and same format as in the Master Servicing Data Tape. All the information included in the Cut-off Date Master Servicing Data Tape will be true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date.

Section 7.11 Post-Closing Cooperation in Connection with Actions.

Subject to the proviso in Section 7.02(a), from and after the Applicable Closing, in connection with any Action arising in connection with (i) any Loss Sharing Claim or claim with respect to a Retained Liability or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Applicable Closing involving any Seller, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with reasonable requests of the other Party and its counsel, to make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and, subject to any applicable confidentiality restrictions and applicable Law, access to its books and records as is reasonably necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party.

Section 7.12 Use of Aurora Name.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.10 that pertain to notifications to various third parties of the transfer of the Servicing function and changing the named party on various agreements and court filings, following the First Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall not authorize others to, use the name “Aurora Bank” or “Aurora Loan Services” or use any variation of the word “Aurora” in connection with its business; provided, that, Purchaser shall be permitted to communicate to third parties that it has purchased the Purchased Assets from Sellers and reference such names.

Section 7.13 Receivables.

If, after the Applicable Closing Date, either Seller receives any remittance from any account debtors with respect to the Acquired Accounts Receivables or the Servicer Advance Receivables, such Seller shall endorse such remittance to the order of Purchaser and forward it to Purchaser promptly following receipt thereof, to the extent included in the calculation of the Aggregate Purchase Price or any True-up Payment.

Section 7.14 Non-Solicit.

The Sellers agree that, for a period of 12 months following the Continuing Employee Transfer Date, they will not (and will cause each of their Representatives not to), directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, solicit for hire (as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise) any Continuing Employee, in each case to the extent that such Continuing Employee remains employed by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates during such period. For purposes of this Section 7.14, “solicit for hire” shall not include (a) referrals made by a placement agency or service or (b) responses to any general advertisement appearing in a newspaper, magazine, and trade publication, or on the internet.

Section 7.15 Transfer of LBHI Servicing Rights.

The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the transfer of the FHMLC mortgage servicing rights intended to be included in the Purchased Assts from LBHI to the Bank prior to the First Closing. It is anticipated that any FHMLC consent solicited by the Sellers in connection with such transfer will be part of the Sellers’ solicitation of FHLMC’s overall consent to the Transaction. If, for any reason, the transfer of such FHMLC mortgage servicing rights is not completed before the First Closing, such FHLMC mortgage servicing rights will not be part of the Transaction and will not be included in the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that the Parties shall cooperate with LBHI to facilitate the transfer of such FHMLC mortgage servicing rights directly from LBHI to Purchaser on substantially the same terms as if such mortgage servicing rights were purchased on the First Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.16 Sublease of Space.

(a) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Second Closing Date, the Sellers and Purchaser shall agree to the form and substance of the Sublease Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the receipt of all necessary landlord consents, Purchaser will, from and after the

Second Closing Date, sublease to the Sellers the second and fifth floors of the Littleton Leased Real Property, including any Personal Property located therein that is acquired hereunder. The Sublease Agreement shall contain terms, provisions and conditions (i) that are usual and customary for subleases of this nature, (ii) that comply with the requirements of the related Real Property Lease, except to the extent otherwise agreed to by the Sellers and Purchaser and consented to by the landlord, (iii) that are no less favorable to the Sellers than the terms, provisions and conditions, when taken in the aggregate, applicable to the Sellers pursuant to the related Real Property Lease and (iv) that provide that the Sellers shall be responsible for their allocable portion of all costs and expenses related to the portion of the Littleton Leased Real Property that is subject to the Sublease Agreement. In addition, the Sublease Agreement shall, subject to the terms and provisions of the related Real Property Lease and except as otherwise agreed to by the Sellers and Purchaser, have a minimum term, with respect to the second floor, of six (6) months with an option by the Sellers to renew for five (5) subsequent six (6) month terms and, with respect to the fifth floor, of sixty (60) days with an option by the Sellers to renew for one (1) subsequent sixty (60) day term.

Section 10.05 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations of Purchaser.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) Purchaser shall not be liable under Section 10.03(a) or Section 10.03(b)(i) until the aggregate amount of Covered Losses under Section 10.03(a) for which notice was timely received in accordance with Section 10.01 exceeds the Basket Amount, at which time Purchaser shall be liable for all such Covered Losses (including all Covered Losses included within such Basket Amount), except that claims related to any breach of or inaccuracy in the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to any such limits;

(b) Purchaser shall not be liable under Section 10.03(a) or Section 10.03(b)(i) for any Covered Loss (including any series of related Covered Losses) unless such Covered Loss (including any series of related Covered Losses) equals or exceeds the De Minimis Threshold, nor shall any Covered Loss that does not meet the De Minimis Threshold be considered in determining whether the Basket Amount has been met; provided, however, that claims related to any breach of or inaccuracy in the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to the De Minimis Threshold;

(c) Purchaser shall have no Liability for Covered Losses arising under Section 10.03(a) or Section 10.03(b)(i) in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the Shared Loss Cap, except that claims related to any breach of or inaccuracy in the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to any such limit; and

(d) notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Covered Losses arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation based on the representations and warranties set forth in Article V or willful and malicious breaches of this Agreement by Purchaser shall not be subject to this Section 10.05 or any other limitation set forth in this Agreement.

Section 10.06 Notice of Non-Third Party Claims.

As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim, which notice shall

specify the provision of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnity is sought, the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party), the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements alleged to have been breached (if applicable) and the amount (if then determinable) that the Indemnified Party seeks hereunder from the Indemnifying Party. Subject to Section 10.01, the failure of an Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s defense or other rights available to it are actually prejudiced as a result of such failure, and then only to the extent of such prejudice.

Section 10.07 Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense.

(a) If a claim or Action by a Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) is made or brought against any Seller Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification under this Article X with respect to such claim or Action, such Indemnified Party shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after receiving notice thereof, to the Party obligated to provide such indemnification under this Article X (the “Indemnifying Party”). Such notice shall specify the provision of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnity is sought, the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim, the identity of the Persons bringing such claim or Action, the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements or provision of Law or Contract alleged to have been breached, as applicable, and the amount (or, to the extent not then determinable, the Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate thereof) that the Indemnified Party intends to seek from the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Subject to Section 10.01, the failure to promptly give such notification will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party’s defense or other rights available to it is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure, and then only to the extent of such prejudice.

(b) Either Seller shall have the sole power, at its option, to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of any Loss Sharing Claim contemplated by clause (b) of the definition thereof for which it will have at least a majority of the expected financial responsibility or any claim with respect to a Retained Liability, in each case, by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser; provided, that such Seller shall thereafter consult with Purchaser upon Purchaser’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such Loss Sharing Claim or Retained Liability. If either Seller assumes the conduct and control of such settlement or defense, Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with such Seller in connection therewith, and Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in (but not control) such settlement or defense and to employ counsel, at its own cost and expense, separate from the counsel employed by such Seller. The assumption of the conduct and control of such settlement or defense shall not be deemed to be an admission or assumption of liability by either Seller. So long as either Seller is reasonably contesting any such Loss Sharing Claim or claim with respect to a Retained Liability in good faith, Purchaser shall not pay or settle any such Loss Sharing Claim or claim with respect to a Retained Liability. If the Sellers elect not to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of such Loss Sharing Claim or claim with respect to a Retained Liability, then, subject to Section 10.08 below, Purchaser shall have the right to conduct and control the settlement or defense of such Loss Sharing Claim or claim with

respect to a Retained Liability, including the right to pay or settle such Loss Sharing Claim or claim with respect to a Retained Liability, provided that, in such event, Purchaser shall waive any right to indemnity by the Sellers for all Covered Losses related to such Loss Sharing Claim or claim with respect to a Retained Liability unless the Sellers shall have consented to such payment or settlement.

(c) Purchaser shall have the sole power, at its option, to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of any Loss Sharing Claim contemplated by clause (b) of the definition thereof for which it will have at least a majority of the expected financial responsibility by giving written notice thereof to the Sellers; provided, that Purchaser shall thereafter consult with the Sellers upon the Sellers’ reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such Loss Sharing Claim. If Purchaser assumes the conduct and control of such settlement or defense, the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection therewith, and either Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in (but not control) such settlement or defense and to employ counsel, at its own cost and expense, separate from the counsel employed by Purchaser. The assumption of the conduct and control of such settlement or defense shall not be deemed to be an admission or assumption of liability by Purchaser. So long as Purchaser is reasonably contesting any such Loss Sharing Claim in good faith, neither Seller shall pay or settle any such Loss Sharing Claim. If Purchaser elects not to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of such Loss Sharing Claim, then, subject to Section 10.08 below, the Sellers shall have the right to conduct and control the settlement or defense of such Loss Sharing Claim or claim with respect to a Retained Liability, including the right to pay or settle such Loss Sharing Claim, provided that, in such event, the Sellers shall waive any right to indemnity by Purchaser for all Covered Losses related to such Loss Sharing Claim unless Purchaser shall have consented to such payment or settlement.

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall have the sole power, at its option, to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim for which indemnification may be sought under Section 10.02(a), Section 10.02(b), Section 10.03(a), Section 10.03(b) or Section 10.03(d) by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon the Indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the conduct and control of such settlement or defense, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in (but not control) such settlement or defense and to employ counsel, at its own cost and expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. The assumption of the conduct and control of such settlement or defense shall not be deemed to be an admission or assumption of liability by the Indemnifying Party. So long as Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, then, subject to Section 10.08 below, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, including the right to pay or settle such claim, provided that, in such event, the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity by the Indemnifying Party for all Covered Losses related to such claim unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented to such payment or settlement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the conduct or control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of claim pursuant to Section 10.07(a) that it elects to assume the conduct or control of the defense or settlement thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The party who assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.07(b), Section 10.07(c) or Section 10.07(d) is referred to herein as the “Controlling Party” and the other party with respect to any such Third Party Claim is referred to herein as the “Non-Controlling Party”.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Third Party Claim is a criminal claim (a “Criminal Third Party Claim”), the subject of such Criminal Third Party Claim may elect to assume the defense of such claim. If a Seller Indemnified Party and a Purchaser Indemnified Party are each subjects of such Criminal Third Party Claim, each such Party may elect to defend the claims against it, no Party shall be deemed to be the Controlling Party and no Party shall have the right to make any settlement, compromise or offer to settle or compromise such Criminal Third Party Claim as it relates to the other Party.

(g) Other than with respect to Criminal Third Party Claims, any Non-Controlling Party may become the Controlling Party with respect to any Third Party Claim by releasing the initial Controlling Party from any and all Liability under this Article X with respect to such Third Party Claim and indemnifying the initial Controlling Party against any and all Losses that may be incurred by the initial Controlling Party in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if a Third Party Claim alleges wrongdoing by the Controlling Party or its Affiliates or involves other reputational matters relating to the Controlling Party or its Affiliates, the Non-Controlling Party may only become the Controlling Party with the consent of the initial Controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(h) Subject to Section 7.11, all of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and each Party (or a duly authorized representative of such Party) shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 10.08 Settlement or Compromise.

The Controlling Party with respect to any Third Party Claim shall have the right to make any settlement, compromise, judgment or offer to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim with the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Party (which shall not be unreasonably

withheld, conditioned or delayed), binding upon such Non-Controlling Party in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, however, that such written consent of the Non-Controlling Party shall not be required in the event (i) such settlement, compromise, judgment or offer to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim does not (A) involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Non-Controlling Party or (B) encumber any of the assets of any Non-Controlling Party or adversely affect in any material respect the post-Closing operation of the business of the Non-Controlling Party or its Affiliates in any manner, and (ii) the Controlling Party shall (A) pay or cause to be paid all amounts required to be paid by it under this Article X arising out of such settlement or judgment with the effectiveness of such settlement or judgment, and (B) obtain, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, judgment or offer to settle or compromise, or other resolution, an appropriate release of each Non-Controlling Party from any and all corresponding Liabilities in respect of such Third Party Claim or the applicable portion thereof.

Section 10.09 Exclusive Remedy.

Except in the case of fraud or where a Party seeks to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 12.12, from and after the Applicable Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sellers, the Seller Indemnified Parties, Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnified Persons in connection with this Agreement and the transactions consummated at such Applicable Closing, whether under this Agreement or arising under common law or any other Law, shall be as provided in this Article X. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each other Purchaser Indemnified Party, and each Seller, on behalf of itself and each other Seller Indemnified Party, hereby waives, from and after the Applicable Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, intentional fraud) it may have against either Seller or any of its Affiliates or representatives and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or representatives, as the case may be, arising under or based upon this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith, whether under this contract or arising under common law or any other Law except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X. Nothing in this Section 10.09 shall operate to interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 2.04 (Post-Closing Purchase Price Calculation), or any Ancillary Agreement or the rights of either Party to seek equitable remedies to enforce any covenant of a Party to be performed after the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Second Closing, the provisions of this Section 10.09 shall not apply with respect to the transactions contemplated to occur on the Second Closing Date, or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating thereto or the Non-Agency Purchased Assets.

Section 10.10 Net Losses; Subrogation; Mitigation; No Set-Off.

(a) For all purposes under this Article X, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be construed as if the term “material” and any reference to “Material Adverse Effect,” “material adverse effect” or any similar qualifications were omitted from such representations and warranties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Covered Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Losses, (ii) any insurance proceeds with respect to such Losses which the applicable insurer has agreed in writing to pay to the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates), but which have not yet been so paid by such insurer, (iii) any recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from any other third party in respect of such Covered Loss and (iv) any recoveries from any other third party with respect to such Losses which the applicable third party has agreed in writing to pay to the Indemnified Party (or its Affiliates), but which have not yet been so paid by such third party. The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, benefits and recoveries. If any such proceeds or recoveries are received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Covered Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party (or such Affiliate) shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such proceeds or recoveries (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment). The Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any actual or reasonably expected Covered Loss, in each case to the same extent as it would if such Covered Loss were not subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article X. No Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party more than once in respect of the same Covered Losses.

(c) In the event any payment is made in respect of Covered Losses, the Indemnifying Party who made such payment will, to the extent permissible by applicable Law, be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any related rights of recovery of the Indemnified Party receiving such payment against any third party. Such Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) and Indemnifying Party shall execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights. If any Indemnified Party recovers, under insurance policies or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which the Indemnifying Party made a payment pursuant to Section 10.02 or Section 10.03, as applicable, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

(d) Neither Purchaser nor the Sellers shall have any right to set-off any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article X against any payment due pursuant to Article II or any Ancillary Agreement. No Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.02 for any Covered Loss to the extent that such Covered Loss was expressly taken into account in the determination of, and reduced, the Aggregate Purchase Price pursuant to Article II.

(d) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X to the extent that the Indemnified Party failed to mitigate or prevent such Covered Loss as required by Law.

Section 10.11 Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

For Tax purposes, any payment pursuant to this Article X shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except that Purchaser shall be permitted to assign (a) its rights and interests in the Servicer Advance Receivables to be acquired hereunder to any

Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 12.05 Complete Agreement.

This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the documents and other writings referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto, together with the Confidentiality Agreement referred to in Section 12.01 and the Ancillary Agreements, contains the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to its subject matter.

This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party, but such waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. ¶

103

(b) No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, and all rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws, other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

Section 12.10 Jurisdiction; Forum; Service of Process.

Each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction, including the personal jurisdiction, of (i) any New York State court sitting in New York County, and (ii) any Federal court of the United States sitting in New York County in the State of New York, solely for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding between any of the Parties arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Each Party agrees to commence any suit, action or proceeding relating hereto only in any Federal court of the United States sitting in New York County in the State of New York or, if such suit, action or other proceeding may not be brought in such court for reasons of subject matter jurisdiction, in any New York State court sitting in New York County. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding between any of the Parties arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions in (i) any New York State court sitting in New York County, and (ii) any Federal court of the United States sitting in New York County in the State of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party irrevocably agrees to request that the applicable court adjudicate any covered claim on an expedited basis and to cooperate with each other to assure that an expedited resolution of any such dispute is achieved. Each Party irrevocably agrees to abide by the rules or procedure applied by the Federal courts or New York State courts (as the case may be) (including but not limited to procedures for expedited pre-trial discovery) and waive any objection to any such procedure on the ground that such procedure would not be permitted in the courts of some other jurisdiction or would be contrary to the laws of some other jurisdiction. Each Party further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or other proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered mail to such Party at its address set forth in this Agreement, such service of process to be effective upon acknowledgment of receipt of such registered mail; provided, that nothing in this Section 12.10 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 12.11 Interpretation.

When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections or Exhibits, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words

104

“herein” or “hereunder” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any specific Section. References to Sections include subsections which are part of the related Section (e.g., a section numbered “Section 5.01(a)” would be part of “Section 5.01” and references to “Section 5.01” would also refer to material contained in the subsection described as “Section 5.01(a)”). Any Law defined herein will mean such Law as amended and will include any successor Law. References to a Contract will be deemed to refer to such Contract as amended, restated or supplemented in accordance with its terms. The table of contents, index and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. Any singular term in this Agreement will be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. All pronouns and variations of pronouns will be deemed to refer to the feminine, masculine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person referred to may require. The phrase “the date of the Original Asset Purchase Agreement” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to March 6, 2012. The phrase “the date of this Agreement” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the preamble to this Agreement. Whenever a dollar figure ($) is used in this Agreement, it will mean United States dollars unless otherwise specified.

Section 12.12 Specific Performance.

The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions contained in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers shall be entitled to seek specific performance to cause Purchaser to enforce the terms of the Financing Commitments, including by demanding Purchaser file one or more lawsuits against the sources of the Financing to fully enforce such Financing sources’ obligations thereunder and Purchaser’s rights thereunder.

Any Action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against the Parties, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein. No former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, members, managers, agents, affiliates, general or limited partners or assignees of Purchaser or the Sellers, as the case may be, or any of their Affiliates or of any

105

former, current or future direct or indirect equity holder, controlling person, stockholder, director, officer, employee, member, manager, general or limited partner, affiliate, agent or assignee of Purchaser or the Sellers, as the case may be, or any of their Affiliates shall have any Liability for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations or Liabilities of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, under this Agreement or of or for any Action based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions (including the breach, termination or failure to consummate the Transactions), in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Laws or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a Party or another Person (including a claim to enforce the Financing Commitments) or otherwise; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall affect any rights Purchaser may have in the LBB Guaranty.
