33

longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer may give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

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

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

35

(c) If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time Buyer determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any change in any Requirement or Law or change in the MERS eRegistry, or that the occurrence of any event or circumstance, has or would have the effect of imposing or increasing the risk to Buyer of making or maintaining any Transaction with respect to eMortgage Loans hereunder (or of maintaining its obligations with respect to any such Transaction) (any such determination, an “eRisk Determination”), then Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller Parties by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter, and (i) Buyer and Seller Parties shall endeavor to establish alternative terms and conditions applying to such Transactions hereunder to address such changes and/or eliminate or reduce such risk in a manner satisfactory to Buyer (as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion), and enter into such amendments or other modifications of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and Buyer deem appropriate, and (ii) until Buyer notifies Seller Parties that the circumstances giving rise to such eRisk Determination no longer exist or Buyer has received the amendments or modifications referred to in clause (i) above, then for purposes of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents no eMortgage Loan shall be Eligible Mortgage Loans hereunder.

Section 7. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer (including any agent, assignee, successor or participant thereof), (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 7) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

36

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

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. If Buyer reasonably determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7(c), Buyer shall remit the amount of such refund (without interest and less any reasonable expenses incurred by or taxes or other costs imposed on Buyer) within a reasonable time after actual receipt thereof. In the event such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant Governmental Authority, Seller shall repay such refund to Buyer with interest and shall pay any reasonable expenses and costs associated therewith. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes demand therefor.

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

(e) For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated”, “Inc.”, “Corporation”, “Corp.”, “P.C.”, “N.A.”, “National Association”, “insurance company”, or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

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

37

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

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

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x) (i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and

(y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

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

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x) (i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Buyer.

38

Buyer provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) and the form provided by Buyer at the time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f) For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 7 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer, or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

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

39

Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Security Interest.

(i) On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the Purchased Asset (including all Underlying Mortgage Loans) and the Repurchase Assets. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Asset (including all Underlying Mortgage Loans), the Underlying Mortgage Loans, the Loan Records, the Servicing Records, and all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans), any Property relating to the Purchased Asset, any Underlying Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, any Take-out Commitments relating to any Underlying Mortgage Loan, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Underlying Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, any Income relating to the Purchased Asset and any Underlying Mortgage Loan, the Collection Account, the Wet Funding Account, any Hedge Agreements relating to the Purchased Asset and any Underlying Mortgage Loan, and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles and proceeds to the extent that the foregoing relates to the Purchased Asset and any Underlying Mortgage Loan and any other assets relating to the Purchased Asset and any Underlying Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Asset and the Underlying Mortgage Loans, and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Mortgage Loan Schedule and Exception Report with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Seller Repurchase Assets”).

(ii) In order to further secure the Obligations hereunder, Trust Subsidiary, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Trust Subsidiary’s rights, title and interest in the Subsidiary Owned Assets, the Loan Records, the Servicing Records, and all Servicing Rights related to the Subsidiary Owned Assets, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Trust Subsidiary’s right thereunder relate to the Subsidiary Owned Assets), any Property relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, any Take-out Commitments relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, any Income relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset, the Collection Account, the Wet Funding Account, any Hedge Agreements relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset, and any other contract rights, accounts

40

(including any interest of Trust Subsidiary in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles and all proceeds to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Subsidiary Owned Asset and any other assets relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Subsidiary Owned Assets, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Mortgage Loan Schedule and Exception Report with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Trust Subsidiary Assets” and, together with the Seller Repurchase Assets, the “Repurchase Assets” and collectively with the Guarantor Pledged Assets, the “Combined Repurchase Assets”).

(iii) To the extent that any of the Seller Parties subsequently conveys, sells and/or distributes in kind any Subsidiary Owned Asset to any of the other Seller Parties, each acknowledges that such conveyance, sale and/or distribution in kind of Subsidiary Owned Assets is subject to the Lien of Buyer created hereby and on the applicable Purchase Date.

(iv) The parties acknowledge and agree that each Seller Party, as applicable, (A) is acquiring the Subsidiary Owned Assets and Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to and subordinate to Buyer’s security interest, (B) is granting a Lien to Buyer as partial consideration for the acquisition of such Subsidiary Owned Assets and Underlying Mortgage Loans from another of the Seller Parties hereto or in consideration of the proceeds of the Transaction from the Buyer and (C) hereby grants, assigns and pledges all rights and interests to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations hereunder.

(v) Each Seller Party acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Underlying Mortgage Loan but only has rights as a party to the current Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that any Seller Party is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, such Seller Party grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created.

(vi) The grants of security interests set forth in this Section 8(a), including, without limitation, the security interests granted by Trust Subsidiary with respect to the Subsidiary Owned Assets and by the Seller Parties with respect to the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto, are 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.

41

(vii) Each Seller Party hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Combined Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

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

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

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Repurchase Assets;

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Repurchase Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Repurchase Assets; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Repurchase Assets; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Repurchase Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Repurchase Assets; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Seller Party with respect to any Repurchase Assets; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Repurchase Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Seller Party might do.

42

Each Seller Party hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do and cause to be done pursuant to the terms hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition the foregoing, (x) Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto and (y) Trust Subsidiary agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, each to be delivered on the date hereof.

Each Seller Party also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 16 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Combined Repurchase Assets.

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Combined Repurchase Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Seller Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) Trust Certificate as a Security. The parties (i) acknowledge and agree that the Trust Certificate shall constitute and remain a “security” as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (ii) covenant and agree that such Trust Certificate is not and will not be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or securities markets. Seller covenants and agrees that such Trust Certificate is not and will not be an investment company security within the meaning of Section 8-103 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Seller Party shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, take all steps as may be necessary in connection with the indorsement, transfer, delivery and pledge of the Trust Certificate to Buyer.

(d) Additional Interests. If, as a result of ownership of the Purchased Asset, any Seller Party shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate evidencing any such Purchased Asset or other equity interest, any option rights, or any equity interest in Trust Subsidiary whether in addition to, in substitution for, as a conversion of, or in exchange for such Purchased Asset or otherwise in respect thereof, such Seller Party shall accept the same as the Buyer’s agent, hold the same in trust for the Buyer and deliver the same forthwith to the Buyer in the exact form received, re-registered in the name of the Buyer, to be held by the Buyer subject to the terms hereof as additional security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Purchased Asset upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Trust Subsidiary shall be paid over to the Buyer as additional security for the Obligations. If 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 such Purchased Asset shall be received by any Seller Party, such Seller Party shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Buyer, hold such money or property in trust for the Buyer segregated from other funds of such Seller Party as additional security for the Obligations.

(e) Voting Rights. Subject to this Section 8(e), Buyer as the holder thereof shall exercise all voting rights with respect to the Purchased Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Buyer shall notify and consult with Seller prior to the exercise of any rights under this Section 8(e) and (ii) Seller shall have the right to direct Buyer to take one or more actions or to not take one or more actions (in the event any action is requested or required to be taken) and

43

the Buyer shall comply with such direction unless the Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion that such compliance with such direction could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or conflict with any Facility Document; provided, however, Buyer may in its sole discretion following an Event of Default (x) remove a Servicer with respect to the Purchased Assets or terminate a Servicing Agreement with respect to the Purchased Assets in connection with a Servicer Termination Event or (y) consent to a waiver of a material breach or consent to a material modification of a Servicing Agreement. In no event shall any vote be cast or member right exercised or other action taken which would impair the Combined Repurchase Assets or the Purchased Asset, as applicable, or which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation to (a) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit the Trust 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, (b) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to the Purchased Asset, (c) 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 or Trust Subsidiary’s interest in the Repurchase Assets except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement, or (d) except as provided in this Agreement, enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Seller or Trust Subsidiary to sell, assign or transfer the Repurchase Assets.

With respect to the Purchased Asset being sold by Seller on a Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Purchased Asset (including all Underlying Mortgage Loans)

44

together with all right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any related Combined Repurchase Assets. Upon notice from the related settlement agent to Seller Parties and/or Buyer that any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction was not originated, the Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans and such settlement agent shall immediately return the funds via wire transfer to the account of Buyer specified in writing to Seller Parties in accordance with the related escrow instruction letter.

Section 10. Hypothecation or Pledge of Purchased Assets. Title to all of the Purchased Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all of the Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or Underlying Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Asset or Underlying Mortgage Loans. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate the Purchased Asset or any Underlying Mortgage Loans delivered to Buyer by any Seller Party.

Section 21. Due Diligence. Each Seller Party acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Asset and the Underlying Mortgage Loans and each Seller Party, Guarantor and each Servicer, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and each Seller Party agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior written notice to such Seller Party unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Purchased Asset and such Underlying Mortgage Loans (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the possession or under the control of such Seller Party and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, such Seller Party shall create and deliver to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days of such request, in electronic form, in a format agreed upon by Buyer and Seller Parties, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request. Each Seller Party also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset, the Mortgage Files and the Underlying Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller Party acknowledges that Buyer may (with respect to the Uncommitted Amount) and shall (with respect to the Committed Amount) enter into transactions with Seller Parties in respect of the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans based solely upon the information provided by Seller Parties to Buyer in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets and the Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction, including, without limitation (but not in the ordinary course of business) (x) ordering broker’s price

70

opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and (y) otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Underlying Mortgage Loans provided that the actions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) shall be undertaken by Buyer with Seller’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided however that Seller’s consent shall not be required following the occurrence of an Event of Default. Buyer may underwrite such Underlying Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Each Seller Party agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Underlying Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of such Seller Party. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 20 (“Due Diligence Costs”) in an amount not to exceed the Due Diligence Cap per calendar year; provided that the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 22. Assignability.

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by any Seller Party without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, each Seller Party shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by such Seller Party.

(b) Buyer may sell participations to one (1) or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) each Seller Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 7.

71

(c) Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 21, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to any Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of such Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall, as the case may be, hold any such information in confidence per a standard non-disclosure agreement to be entered into between Buyer and such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant.

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

Section 23. Transfer and Maintenance of Register.

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 22, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 22 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 22(b) hereof.

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

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

Section 25. Set-Off. (a) In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to any Seller Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Seller Party to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect,

72

absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller Parties after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if an Event of Default or Default has occurred.

Section 26. Terminability. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 17 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 27. Notices and Other Communications. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by telecopy) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Section 3 hereof (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopy or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

Section 28. Entire Agreement; Severability; Single Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with the Facility Documents, constitute the entire understanding between Buyer and each Seller Party with respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions involving the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans. By acceptance of this Agreement, Buyer and each Seller Party acknowledge that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. 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.

73

(b) Buyer and each Seller Party acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and each Seller Party agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted and (iii) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

Section 29. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

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

Section 32. Reserved.

Section 33. Confidentiality.

(a) Buyer and each Seller Party hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any other in connection with the terms set forth in any of the Facility Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of such other party except to the extent that i) it is necessary to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any applicable federal or state laws, including any disclosures or filing required by the Securities Exchange Commission or state securities laws, (ii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Buyer determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Assets or otherwise to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder, (iv) disclosure by Buyer is in connection with its rights under Section 10 and Section 21 hereof; provided that such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall, as the case may be, hold any such disclosure in confidence per a standard non-disclosure agreement to be entered into between Buyer and such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, (v) it is necessary to disclose to its Affiliates and its and their employees, directors, officers, advisors (including legal counsel, accountants, and auditors), representatives and servicers, (vi) it is requested or required by governmental agencies, regulatory bodies or other legal, governmental or regulatory process, in which case each party shall provide prior written notice to the other party to the extent not prohibited by the applicable law or regulation.

75

state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that no Seller Party may disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any concentration limits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer. The provisions set forth in this Section 32 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller Party shall cause the Guarantor to comply and Buyer shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Each Seller Party understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and each Seller Party agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.

Each shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to such Seller Party by Buyer or such Affiliate. Each Seller Party shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by email with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

Section 34. Intent. (a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Combined Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other

76

arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this 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. Each Seller Party and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).

(b) Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Combined Repurchase Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 15 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

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

(d) Reserved.

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

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

(g) With respect to the security interest granted in Section 8 hereof, as stated therein and affirmed by Seller here, 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(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code, and is further intended to be a guaranty of the Seller’s Obligations to the Buyer.

Section 35. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections. The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

77

(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

Section 36. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, any other Facility Document and any Confirmation, the documents shall control in the following order of priority: first, the terms of the Confirmation shall prevail, then the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and then the terms of the Facility Documents shall prevail.

Section 37. Authorizations. Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 2 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller, Trust Subsidiary or Buyer, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 1-A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Underlying Mortgage Loan, that as of the Purchase Date for any Underlying Mortgage Loan and at all times while the related Underlying Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder the following are true and correct. For purposes of this Schedule 1-A and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to an Underlying Mortgage Loan if and when any Seller Party has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Underlying Mortgage Loan. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of any Seller Party’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any Seller Party or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding such Seller Party’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

(a) Underlying Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects;

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the close of business on the closing date for such Underlying Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Underlying Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Underlying Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Underlying Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note;

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, governmental assessments, municipal charges, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property. No Seller Party has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Underlying Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Underlying Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, (i) recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, (ii) which have been delivered to the related Custodian, and (iii) if such instrument modifies an eNote, such modification is reflected on the MERS eRegistry and

Sch. 1-A-1

the eNote and related Underlying Mortgage Loan documents remain valid, effective and enforceable (first lien) and in compliance with all applicable eCommerce Laws and Agency Guidelines; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the PMI Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related final Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the PMI Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the related final Mortgage Loan Schedule;

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are 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, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at, or subsequent to, the time the Underlying Mortgage Loan was originated;

(f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by any Seller Party as of the date of origination consistent with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1974. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Guarantor, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Underlying Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by any Seller Party. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation,
