Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all steps as may be necessary in connection with the re-registration, indorsement, transfer, delivery and pledge of all REO Subsidiary Interests to Administrative Agent.

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

27

following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the REO Subsidiary Interests shall be received by Seller, Seller shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Administrative Agent segregated from other funds of Seller as additional security for the Obligations.

e.                                       Voting Rights. Subject to this Section, Administrative Agent as the holder, may exercise all voting and member rights with respect to the REO Subsidiary Interests.

In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to vote or exercise any equityholder right or take any other action which would impair the REO Subsidiary Interests or which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement) to (i) 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, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the REO Subsidiary Interests, (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, the Seller’s interest in the REO Subsidiary Interests except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement, or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Seller to sell, assign or transfer the REO Subsidiary Interests.

f.                                        Servicing Rights. Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties but only has rights as a party to the current Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) 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.

(ii)                                  Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and Buyer assignee and participant to deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit payments made hereunder to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and Buyer assignee and participant, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to

34

determine whether or not such Buyer or any Buyer assignee or participant is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation in Section 11.e((ii)(A), (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in a Buyer’s or any Buyer’s assignee’s or participant’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall cause a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant to deliver to Seller, to the extent legally entitled to do so:

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

(C)                               if a payment made to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or assignee or participant were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or

35

1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11.e, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by Administrative Agent on behalf of each applicable Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant under this Agreement, as the case may be, and upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any IRS form previously delivered by it hereunder.

f.                                        Any indemnification payable by Seller to a Buyer or Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are imposed on such Buyer or Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers), as described in Section 11.e(i) hereof, shall be paid by Seller within ten (10) days after demand therefor from Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

g.                                       Each party’s obligations under this Section 11 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Agreement.

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 each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets, and the Purchased Assets as owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) and Seller agree that they will treat and report for all tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from a Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise prohibited by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for tax purposes.

12.                               Servicing

a.                                      Seller Parties, on Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ behalf, shall contract with Servicer to, or if Seller is the Servicer, Seller shall, service the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties consistent with the degree of skill and care that Seller customarily requires with respect to similar mortgage loans and real estate owned properties owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Seller Parties and Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform

36

its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Administrative Agent or Buyers in any Purchased Mortgage Loans or Contributed REO Properties or any payment thereunder. Administrative Agent may terminate the servicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loans or Contributed REO Property with the then existing Servicer in accordance with Section 12.e hereof.

b.                                      Seller Parties shall and shall cause the Servicer to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by Seller Parties and Servicer with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties in trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.

c.                                       During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Seller shall, and shall cause Servicer to, deposit all Income received by Servicer on the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties in the Custodial Account.

d.                                      In the event there is a third party Servicer and upon Administrative Agent’s request, Seller Parties shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties, advising such Servicer of such matters as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Administrative Agent, it will follow the instructions of Administrative Agent with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties and any related Income with respect thereto.

e.                                       During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder or a material default under the Servicing Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans and REO Properties under the Servicing Agreement without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller Parties and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by Administrative Agent as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.

f.                                        If any Seller Party should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, a Seller Party or any entity responsible to such Seller Party for managing or servicing any such Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed REO Property has failed to perform fully such Seller Party’s obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Contributed REO Properties, such Seller Party shall promptly notify Administrative Agent.

As such, Seller Parties expressly acknowledge that the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed REO Properties are sold to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) or contributed to the REO Subsidiary on a “servicing released” basis with such servicing retained by the Servicer.

13.                               Representations and Warranties

a.                                      Each Seller Party represents and warrants to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:

1.                                      Seller Party Existence. Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. REO Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2.                                      Licenses. Each Seller Party is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it conducts and is not in material default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect and is not in material default of such state’s applicable laws, rules and regulations. Each Seller Party has the requisite power and authority and legal right to originate and purchase Mortgage Loans (as applicable) and to own, sell and grant a lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, and to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions of, each Program Agreement and any Transaction Request. Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee and VA Approved Lender.

3.                                      Power. Each Seller Party has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.                                      Due Authorization. Each Seller Party has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable. Each Program Agreement has been (or, in the case of Program Agreements not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Seller Party, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against such Seller Party in accordance with its

38

terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

5.                                      Financial Statements. Seller has heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent a copy of its consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries for the quarterly fiscal periods of Seller ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such quarterly fiscal periods. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations as at such dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP (other than monthly financial statements solely with respect to footnotes, year-end adjustments and cash flow statements) applied on a consistent basis. Since September 30, 2017, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Seller aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse change. Seller has, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this Section (the “Statement Date”) no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Seller except as heretofore disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing.

6.                                      Event of Default. There exists no Event of Default hereunder.

7.                                      Solvency. Each Seller Party is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. No Seller Party intends to incur, nor believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Assets under this Agreement. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the transfer of the Contributed REO Properties to REO Subsidiary constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Contributed REO Properties. Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent or any Contributed REO Property to REO Subsidiary with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

39

8.                                      No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller Party of each Program Agreement do not conflict with any term or provision of the formation documents or by-laws of such Seller Party or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to such Seller Party of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over such Seller Party, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which such Seller Party is a party.

9.                                      True and Complete Disclosure. All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of Seller Parties or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Administrative Agent or Buyers in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of Seller Parties or officer thereof, and the negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements are true and complete and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

11.                               Litigation.

16.                               Remedies Upon Default

In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

a.                                      Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of Seller), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately

52

canceled). Administrative Agent shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of Seller) give notice to Seller of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

b.                                      If Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) and applied, in Administrative Agent’s good faith discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder, and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) the Asset Files relating to any Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control.

c.                                       Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Repurchase Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets or Contributed REO Properties (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and Repurchase Assets) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller. To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties held by Custodian, Administrative Agent shall present to Custodian the applicable form pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. Without limiting the rights of Administrative Agent hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

d.                                      Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties to remit all collections thereon to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers), and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers). Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties with or without cause. In addition, Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties and liquidate all Repurchase Assets. Such disposition of

53

Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties may be, at Administrative Agent’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties with respect to any such disposition thereof. Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) to dispose of the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties or the Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall be entitled to place the Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties individually for the prevailing price. Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall also be entitled, in its good faith discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets, Contributed REO Properties and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder.

e.                                       Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

f.                                        Seller recognizes that the market for the Contributed REO Properties may not be liquid and as a result it may not be possible for Administrative Agent to sell all of the REO Subsidiary Interests and Contributed REO Properties on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner. In view of the nature of the Contributed REO Properties, Seller agrees that liquidation of any Contributed REO Property may be conducted in a private sale and at such price as Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Seller further recognizes that Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Contributed REO Properties that are evidenced by REO Subsidiary Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the 1934 Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not a view to the distribution or resale thereof. In view of the nature of the Contributed REO Properties, Seller agrees that liquidation of any Contributed REO

54

Property may be conducted in a private sale and at such price as Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the REO Subsidiary Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Seller to register the REO Subsidiary Interests for public sale under the 1934 Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Seller would agree to do so.

g.                                       Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable outside legal and other expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable third party costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and each Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all reasonable third party fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or reasonable expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

h.                                      To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this Section 16.h shall accrue at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

i.                                          Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

j.                                         Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Administrative Agent immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) may have.

k.                                      Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies

55

are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

l.                                          Following the exercise of remedies pursuant to this Section 16, if Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties and the related Repurchase Assets are sold, Administrative Agent shall give written notice to Seller of the amount at which such Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Properties and the related Repurchase Assets were disposed and how such proceeds were applied.

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. 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.

22.                               Non assignability

Subject to Section 37 (Acknowledgement of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement) hereof, Administrative Agent and Buyers may from time to time assign all or a portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements with Seller’s prior written consent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if Administrative Agent or Buyers assigns their rights and obligations (i) to an Affiliate of Administrative Agent or a Buyer, or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, further, that Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller Parties, for review by Seller Parties upon written request, a register of assignees and participants (the “Register”), a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Administrative Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned and Seller Parties shall only be required to deal directly with Administrative Agent. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller, REO Subsidiary, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the preceding sentence as a Buyer hereunder. Upon such assignment and recordation in the Register, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement 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 Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder, as applicable, and (b) Administrative Agent and Buyers shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by them to either (i) an Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Buyers which assumes the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers, as applicable or (ii) another Person approved by Seller Parties (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) which assumes the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers, as applicable, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements. Any assignment hereunder shall be deemed a joinder of such assignee as a Buyer hereto. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller Parties shall continue to take directions solely from Administrative Agent unless otherwise notified by Administrative

62

Agent in writing. Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Seller Parties, provided that such prospective assignee has agreed to hold such information subject to and in accordance with confidentiality provisions substantively similar to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Any assignment in violation of this Section 22 shall be considered void.

(b)                                 Participations. Any Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Program Agreements; provided, however, that (i) such Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent and/or Buyers in connection with such Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements except as provided in Section 7. Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual participant this Agreement, the other Program Agreements any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Seller. To the extent that Administrative Agent or any Buyer shall deliver any Seller Confidential Information to a prospective participant, Administrative Agent or such Buyer shall cause such prospective participant to agree to hold such information subject to and in accordance with confidentiality provisions substantively similar to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

23.                               Set-off

Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set off and application made by Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers); provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default or other default of this Agreement by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default or other default of this Agreement and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6.a, 16.a or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

26.                               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 Repurchase Assets 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.

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).

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

f.                                        Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Administrative Agent, and which has been delivered to the Custodian (or a copy thereof if the original has not yet been returned from the recording office) and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial 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 Custodial Asset Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Asset File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Asset Schedule.

(d)                                 No Defenses. To Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgage Loan (and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease related to each Co-op 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 Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO, Seller has no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO, Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan.

(e)                                  Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, the Fannie Mae guide, if applicable, the Freddie Mac guide, if applicable, and any additional requirements set forth in the Underwriting Guidelines, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums due and payable thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the 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, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller has not

Schedule 1-A-2

engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s or any servicer’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 such policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

To Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any applicable environmental law (including, without limitation, asbestos), rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

(g)                                  Compliance with Applicable Laws. 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 or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and if required by such laws or regulations Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Administrative Agent, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(h)                                 No Satisfaction of Mortgage. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO where the related Mortgaged Property has been sold to a third party and the FHA Mortgage Insurance claim proceeds have not yet been received, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would affect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO, Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(i)                                     Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State as identified in the Custodial Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit or a unit in a Co-op Project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development; provided, however, that any condominium unit, Co-op Unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings or shall conform

Schedule 1-A-3

to the Underwriting Guidelines and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to the Underwriting Guidelines.

(j)                                    Valid First Lien. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO where the related Mortgaged Property has been sold to a third party and the FHA Mortgage Insurance claim proceeds have not yet been received, the Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan, first priority lien and first priority security interest on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to (collectively, “Permitted Encumbrances”):

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

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

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

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

(k)                                 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 a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and general principles of equity. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the 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. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Seller, or to Seller’s knowledge, any other Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the

Schedule 1-A-4

Asset File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

(l)                                     Full Disbursement of Proceeds. Except as set forth on the Asset Schedule (and which shall be in conformity with the Underwriting Guidelines), there is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan, except in connection with any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor not to exceed [***]. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. All broker fees have been properly assessed to the Mortgagor and no claims will arise as to broker fees that are double charged and for which the Mortgagor would be entitled to reimbursement.

(m)                             Ownership. Seller has full right to sell the Mortgage Loan to Administrative Agent free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Administrative Agent will own such Mortgage Loan (and with respect to any Co-op Loan, the sole owner of the related Assignment of Proprietary Lease) free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(n)                                 Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state.

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. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and to Seller’s knowledge, no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(q)                                 No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage.

(r)                                    Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. At origination of the Mortgage Loan, all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property.

Principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than 60 days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature. Interest on the Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than 30 years from commencement of amortization.

(t)                                    Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person, or restriction on Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of Seller, Administrative Agent or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the ability of Seller, Administrative Agent or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Administrative Agent with respect to Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans and Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated with an “owner-occupied” Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor represented at the time

Except with respect to Mortgage Loans intended for purchase by GNMA and for Mortgage Loans registered with MERS, the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

(y)                                 Due-On-Sale.

The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

(aa)                          Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Purchase Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located with respect to Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans and acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans.

With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller or Servicer, and other than GNMA EBOs, there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and, other than with respect to each GNMA EBO, has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, on and after January 10, 2014 (or such later date as set forth in the relevant regulations), (i) prior to the origination of each Mortgage Loan, the originator made a reasonable and good faith determination that the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms, in accordance with 12 CFR 1026.43(c) and (ii) except with respect to Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans or unless otherwise approved in writing by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, each Mortgage Loan is a Qualified Mortgage Loan.

(ggg)                      Co-op Loan: Valid First Lien. Except with respect to a Co-op Loan that is a GNMA EBO where the related Mortgaged Property has been sold to a third party and the FHA Mortgage Insurance claim proceeds have not yet been received, the Mortgage related to such Co-op Loan is a valid, enforceable and subsisting first security interest on the related Co-op Shares securing the related Proprietary Lease, subject only to (a) liens of the Co-op Corporation for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the Co-op Corporation’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the security interest. There are no liens against or security interests in the Co-op Shares relating to each Co-op Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments and other amounts owed to the related cooperative which individually or in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Co-op Loan), which have priority equal to or over Seller’s security interest in such Co-op Shares.

(hhh)                   Co-op Loan: Compliance with Law. With respect to each Co-op Loan, the related Co-op Corporation that owns title to the related Co-op Project is a “cooperative housing corporation” within the meaning of Section 216 of the Internal Revenue Code, and is in material compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws which, if not complied with, could have a material adverse effect on the Mortgaged Property.

(iii)                               Co-op Loan: No Pledge. With respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no prohibition against pledging the Co-op Shares or assigning the Proprietary Lease. With respect to

Schedule 1-A-12

each Co-op Loan, (i) the term of the related Proprietary Lease is longer than the term of the Co-op Loan, (ii) there is no provision in any Proprietary Lease which requires the Mortgagor to offer for sale the Co-op Shares owned by such Mortgagor first to the Co-op Corporation, (iii) there is no prohibition in any Proprietary Lease against pledging the Co-op Shares or assigning the Proprietary Lease and (iv) the Recognition Agreement is in a form acceptable to the Agencies.

(jjj)                            Co-op Loan: Acceleration of Payment. With respect to each Co-op Loan, each Assignment of Proprietary Lease contains enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization of the material benefits of the security provided thereby. The Assignment of Proprietary Lease contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Note in the event the Co-op Unit is transferred or sold without the consent of the holder thereof.

(kkk)                   TRID Compliance. With respect to each Mortgage Loan where the Mortgagor’s loan application for the Mortgage Loan was taken on or after October 3, 2015, such Mortgage Loan was originated materially in compliance with the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule.

(a)                                 Asset File. (i) The related Deed in the name of the Nominee for the benefit of REO Subsidiary shall have been submitted for recording within [***] Business Days of the related Mortgage Loan having been converted to REO Property, and (ii) a copy of such Deed shall have been delivered as part of the Asset File to the applicable Custodian within fifteen (15) Business Days of such REO Property being acquired by the REO Subsidiary.

The REO Subsidiary has not assigned or pledged the REO Property and the related Servicing Rights except as contemplated in the Agreement, and, except as otherwise disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing, the REO Property is free and clear of any lien or encumbrance other than (A) liens for real estate taxes not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of the related security instrument, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally, and (C) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the use, enjoyment or marketability of the REO Property.

(d)                                 REO Property as Described. The information set forth in the related Asset Schedule and all other information or data furnished by, or on behalf of, Seller to Administrative Agent is true and correct in all material respects as of the date or dates on which such information is furnished.

(f)                                   No Litigation. Other than any customary claim or counterclaim arising out of any eviction, foreclosure or collection proceeding relating to any REO Property or as otherwise disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent, there is no litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation pending, or any order, injunction or decree outstanding, existing or relating to Seller,

Schedule 1-C-1

REO Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to the REO Property that would materially and adversely affect the value of the REO Property.

(g)                                  Existing Insurance. All improvements upon each REO Property are insured by a borrower or blanket hazard insurance policy in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (1) 100% of the maximum insurable value of such improvements; (2) the replacement value of such improvements; and (3) the amount of the BPO valuation. Each such insurance policy contains a standard mortgagee clause naming Nominee for the benefit of REO Subsidiary or Servicer, its successors and assigns as loss payee or named insured, as applicable. If such REO Property at the time of origination of the related mortgage loan was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such REO Property unless such REO Property is no longer so identified.

(h)                                 No Mechanics’ Liens. Except as otherwise disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the REO Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage.

(i)                                     No Damage. Except as otherwise disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing, the REO Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake, earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado, defective construction materials or work, or similar casualty which would cause such REO Property to become uninhabitable.

(k)                                 No Hazardous Materials. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no condition affecting any REO Property (x) relating to lead paint, radon, asbestos or other hazardous materials, (y) requiring remediation of any condition or (z) relating to a claim which could impose liability upon, diminish rights of or otherwise adversely affect Administrative Agent.

(l)                                     Location and Type of REO Property. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent, each REO Property is located in the U.S. or a territory of the U.S. and consists of a one- to four-unit residential property, which may include, but is not limited to, a single-family dwelling, townhouse, condominium unit, or unit in a planned unit development.

(m)                             No Fraudulent Acts. No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller or REO Subsidiary in connection with the acquisition of such REO Property.

(n)                                 Acquisition of REO Property. With respect to each such REO Property, (i) such REO Property is a Mortgaged Property acquired by REO Subsidiary through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, which was, prior to such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, subject to the lien of a Mortgage Loan, and (ii) with respect to each such REO Property, upon the consummation of the related Transaction, the applicable Custodian shall have

With respect to each REO Property, REO Subsidiary is the sole insured of such policy, and such policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of Seller and its successors. To the Seller’s knowledge, no claims have been made under such policy and no prior holder of the REO Property, including REO Subsidiary, has done by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such policy.

(q)                                 FHA/VA Insurance. Each REO Property (i) is covered by FHA Mortgage Insurance and there exists no impairment to full recovery without indemnity to the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the FHA under the FHA Mortgage Insurance, (ii) is guaranteed, or eligible to be guaranteed by a VA Loan Guaranty Agreement, under the VA Regulations and there exists no impairment to full recovery without indemnity to the VA under the VA Loan Guaranty Agreement or (iii) is guaranteed, or eligible to be guaranteed by a USDA Loan Guaranty Agreement, under the USDA Regulations and there exists no impairment to full recovery without indemnity to the USDA under the USDA Loan Guaranty Agreement.
