The Lender shall distribute the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower on the related Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 2.02    Note.

Section 2.03    Funding Requests and Collateral Reporting.

(a)    On any Funding Notice Date, Borrower may request Lender to make a Loan on the related Funding Date by delivering to Lender a Borrower Funding Request no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Funding Notice Date which shall become irrevocable by Borrower on or after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) [***] Business Day prior to the related Funding Date. The amount of any Loan requested pursuant to a Borrower Funding Request shall be not greater than the related Available Loan Amount and shall not result in the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount exceeding the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the sum of the Committed Amount plus the Uncommitted Amount. Lender shall have the obligation, subject to the terms and conditions of the Facility Documents, to enter into Loans with an aggregate outstanding amount of up to the Committed Amount and shall have no obligation to enter into Loans with respect to the Uncommitted Amount; provided that Lender shall provide Borrower with at least [***] Business Days’ prior written notice before exercising its discretion to cease entering into Loans with Borrower for all or any portion the Uncommitted Amount. Unless otherwise agreed to between Lender and Borrower in writing, all outstanding Loans at any one time shall be first deemed committed up to the Committed Amount and then the remainder, if any, shall be deemed uncommitted up the Uncommitted Amount. Lender shall not have the right, however, to terminate any Loans with respect to the Uncommitted Amount after the related Funding Date until the related Loan Repayment Date.

No later than [***] Business Days prior to each Funding Date (including the Initial Funding Date) where new Eligible Servicing Rights are to be added to the Collateral, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Servicing Schedule (as of the related cut-off date) identifying all Eligible Servicing Rights to be pledged to Lender as Collateral under the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Agency Obligations outstanding on the related Funding Date. Regardless of whether Borrower delivers a Borrower Funding Request during any calendar month, Borrower shall deliver to Lender or its designee (including any Person identified on Schedule 7.01(a) no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day of each month or as otherwise agreed to by Lender and Borrower (any such Business Day, the “Collateral Reporting Date”), (x) an Agency Obligations report, in a form mutually agreed to by Lender and Borrower, identifying all Agency Obligations outstanding on the date such report is submitted to Lender and (y) additional updated Servicing Schedules (as of the related cut-off date) with respect to all Eligible Servicing Rights that constitute the Collateral under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which shall include all updates to the Collateral as reasonably requested by Lender since the delivery of the preceding Servicing Schedule. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all delivery requirements (including without limitation the Servicing Schedule) described above shall apply to each Borrower Funding Request.

In Lender’s determination of Collateral Value for any of the Eligible Servicing Rights hereunder, it shall apply the Market Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights in a related Borrowing Base Report. Any excess of the amount funded on such Loan over the Borrowing Base as reflected in the related Borrowing Base Report shall result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency as set forth in Section 2.08(b) of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.03(a), Lender shall have the right to determine Market Value at any time in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, and deliver an updated Borrowing Base Report to Borrower, reflecting such determination at any time. For purposes of preparing each Borrowing Base Report, Lender shall calculate the Collateral Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights described in the Servicing Schedule. Upon reasonable request by the Borrower, the Lender shall, from time to time, provide reasonable information regarding the Valuation Assumptions made for purposes of its determination of Market Value in any Borrowing Base Report, as well as is necessary to demonstrate that such Market Value has been determined in accordance with the MV Criteria.

(b)    By delivering a Borrower Funding Request, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, after taking into account the amount of the requested Loan, all conditions precedent to such Loan specified in Section 5.02 of this Agreement have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.03 or Section 2.04, the Lender shall have the right to determine Market Value at any time in its sole discretion, acting in good faith. For purposes of preparing each Borrowing Base Report, the Lender shall calculate the Collateral Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights described in the related Servicing Schedule using the Market Value of such Eligible Servicing Rights determined in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 2.04 Borrowing Base Reports. With respect to each Funding Date, the Lender shall determine the Market Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights to be pledged as security for a Loan on such Funding Date. In connection with such determination, Borrower shall provide to Lender the most recent servicing valuation conducted by a Valuation Agent with respect to the value of Borrower’s servicing portfolio in accordance with GAAP, on a quarterly basis (or more frequently, at Borrower’s sole discretion) upon such valuation becoming available. In addition to the foregoing, in connection with the determination of the Borrowing Base on each Funding Date, the Lender shall obtain a third party valuation by a Valuation Agent of the related Eligible Servicing Rights to be included in the Borrowing Base on such Funding Date; provided, that the Lender shall have no obligation to use any valuation obtained or delivered by Borrower as set forth above and shall have the right to determine the Market Value of the related Eligible Servicing Rights at any time in its sole discretion in accordance with the MV Criteria.

Section 2.05 Interest. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for each day during a related Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the product of (x) the outstanding principal balance of such Loan on such day, multiplied by (y) the Interest Rate. Interest on the Loans and other amounts outstanding hereunder is due on each Monthly Settlement Date and shall accrue daily from the applicable Funding Date at the Interest Rate or such other rate provided for hereunder (including the Post-Default Rate, if applicable), until repaid in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof. The Lender shall determine the Benchmark for each Loan, which may be calculated or reset on a daily basis by the Lender, and provide notice of such determination to the Borrower. The Lender shall also calculate the amount of interest or other amounts due, to be paid by the Borrower from time to time hereunder (including in connection with any prepayment or repayment of Loans permitted hereunder) and shall provide a written statement thereof to the Borrower at least [***] Business Days prior to the due date of such payments (or the relevant repayment or prepayment after having received a notice thereof);

provided, that failure to provide such statements on a timely basis shall not relieve the Borrower of the obligation to pay any interest and principal due on the applicable payment date (based upon its good faith calculation of the amount due, such amount to be promptly reconciled after receipt of a subsequent statement from the Lender) and other such amounts hereunder promptly upon receipt of such statement.

Section 2.06 Increased Capital Costs. If any change to a Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Lender’s organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(a)shall subject Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (f) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any Loans made pursuant to it;

(b)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of the Loans or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Lender; or

(c)shall impose on Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender, by an amount which Lender deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining any loans or transactions hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof by delivering to Borrower a certificate with reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection as calculated by Lender in good faith (a “Yield Protection Notice”), which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Borrower shall, at its option, within [***] Business Days of its receipt of any such Yield Protection Notice, either (A) (1) notify Lender of its intent to terminate this Agreement (without the imposition of any form of penalty, breakage costs or exit fees) and (2) pay all Obligations hereunder within [***] days of such notice to Lender or (B) pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred; provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding clause (B), Borrower shall only be obligated to pay those amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) to the extent incurred by Lender (1) within [***] days prior to delivery of the Yield Protection Notice to Borrower or (2) on or after delivery of such Yield Protection Notice to Borrower. In the event Borrower elects to terminate this Agreement and pay all Obligations hereunder pursuant to clause (A) above, in no event shall Borrower pay (i) any increased costs specified in the Yield Protection Notice or (ii) any increased costs accrued during the [***] days prior to receipt of such Yield Protection Notice.

If Lender shall have determined in good faith that either (A) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority or Official Body made subsequent to the date hereof; or (B) compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with: (1) any directive or request from any Governing Authority or Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the date hereof or (2) the requirements of, whether such compliance is commenced prior to or after the date hereof, any of (x) Basel III or (y) the Dodd-Frank Act, or any existing rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from the United States bank regulatory agencies relating to Basel III or the Dodd-Frank Act; shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s

or such corporation’s capital to a level below that which Lender or such corporation (taking into consideration Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender to be material to the extent Lender or such corporation determines such increase in capital to be attributable to the existence of the obligations or agreements of Lender hereunder, then, in any such case, Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof by delivering to Borrower a certificate with reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection as calculated by Lender in good faith (a “Capital Adequacy Notice”), which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Borrower shall, at its option, within [***] Business Days of its receipt of any such Capital Adequacy Notice, either (A) (1) notify Lender of its intent to terminate this Agreement (without the imposition of any form of penalty, breakage costs or exit fees) and (2) pay all Obligations hereunder within [***] days of such notice to Lender or (B) pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction; provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding clause (B), Borrower shall only be obligated to pay those amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) to the extent incurred by Lender (1) within [***] days prior to delivery of the Capital Adequacy Notice to Borrower or (2) on or after delivery of such Capital Adequacy Notice to Borrower. In the event Borrower elects to terminate this Agreement and pay all Obligations hereunder pursuant to clause (A) above, in no event shall Sellers pay (i) any increased costs specified in the Capital Adequacy Notice or (ii) any increased costs accrued during the [***] days prior to receipt of such Capital Adequacy Notice.

If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided that Borrower shall only be obligated to pay such additional amounts to the extent Lender provides written notice of such amounts to the Borrower within [***] days following Lender becoming aware of the incurrence of any such increased costs. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.07    [Reserved]

Section 2.08 Mandatory Repayment of Loans.

(b)If, on any Business Day (a “Borrowing Base Shortfall Day”), the Lender provides written notice to the Borrower that the Lender has determined in its sole reasonable discretion based on the Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered by the Lender pursuant to Section 2.04 that the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount on such day exceeds the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Committed Amount plus the Uncommitted Amount on such day by an amount (such circumstance, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), the Borrower shall no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day following the Borrowing Base Shortfall Day repay outstanding Loans (including accrued interest thereon), in an amount equal to the amount of the Borrowing Base Deficiency specified in the notice provided to the Borrower by the Lender (such requirement a “Margin Call”). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, Lender shall not require a Margin Call to be cured unless the related Borrowing Base Deficiency exceeds the Deficiency Threshold, either individually or on an aggregate basis with any other Borrowing Base Deficiencies that have occurred hereunder unless (i) there is a Margin Deficit in existence under the Master Repurchase Agreement or (ii) a Default or Event of Default has occurred. Any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall be cured, and

Each determination by Lender of the Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error. If and to the extent part of the Conforming Changes, any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Benchmark shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Benchmark shall become effective.

(e)    Effect of Benchmark Transition.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day (or if the Benchmark is not the Term SOFR Reference Rate, the Determination Date for such other Benchmark) for any day in any Interest Period, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Facility Document in respect of such determination and all determinations on all subsequent dates (without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement).

(ii)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(e)    The Lender shall (A) promptly notify the Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) cooperate, in its reasonable discretion, with the Borrower to mitigate any requirement of Applicable Law of any jurisdiction in which the Borrower may be required to withhold or deduct any taxes from amounts payable to Lender hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of Borrower any director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate or other person acting on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that could result in a violation or a sanction for violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as may be amended, or similar law of any other relevant jurisdiction, or the rules or regulations thereunder as applicable to the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries. Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate thereof has made, offered, promised or authorized a payment of money or anything else of value (i) in order to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, (ii) to any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, or (iii) with the intent to induce the recipient to misuse his or her official position to direct business wrongfully to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as may be amended, and any similar law of any other relevant jurisdiction, or the rules or regulations thereunder applicable to the Borrower and/or its Affiliates.

(y)    ERISA. Each Plan, and, to the knowledge of Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other Federal or State law. No event or condition has occurred and is continuing as to which Borrower would be under an obligation to furnish a report to Lender under Section 7.01(bb). The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan. Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not provide any material medical or health benefits to former employees other than as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, as amended, or other applicable law at no cost to the employer (collectively, “COBRA”).

(z)    Agency Financial Covenants. As of the date of this Agreement, Schedule 6.01(z) accurately sets forth all Agency Financial Covenants applicable to Borrower under its Servicing Contracts.

(aa)    Use of Subservicers. Borrower shall not use a subservicer, other than the Subservicer, with respect to any Mortgage Loan without Lender’s prior written consent and unless such Subservicer is approved to subservice by an Applicable Agency. Borrower shall provide prior notice to Lender with respect to the use of any subservicer other than Borrower or the Subservicer, or a change in Subservicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Section 6.02    Representations Concerning the Collateral. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that as of each day that a Loan is outstanding pursuant to this Agreement:

(a)Except as set forth in the Freddie Mac Requirements, the Borrower has not assigned, pledged, conveyed, or encumbered any Collateral to any other Person or any right to any Collateral to any Person (including without limitation any right to control or transfer or otherwise effectuate any remedy relating to any Collateral), and immediately prior to the pledge of any such Collateral, the Borrower was the sole owner of such Collateral and had good and marketable title thereto (subject to the rights of the Applicable Agency with respect to the Collateral), free and clear of all Liens other than Freddie Mac’s Superior Interest, and no Person,

other than the Lender and Freddie Mac has any Lien on any Collateral. No Eligible Servicing Rights are related to Mortgage Loans owned by a third-party (including without limitation any Affiliates or Subsidiaries of Borrower) other than the Applicable Agency and no Person has any interest in any Eligible Servicing Rights or any related Mortgage Loans, other than Lender, Borrower, the Applicable Agency (including without limitation any right to control or transfer or otherwise effectuate any remedy relating to any Eligible Servicing Rights).

(b)The provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Lender a valid security interest in all right, title (as applicable), and interest of the Borrower in, to and under the Collateral, subject only to the interests of the Applicable Agency.

(c)All Agency Obligations have been identified as such in a schedule attached to the Servicing Schedule most recently delivered to the Lender. All information concerning all Servicing Rights set forth on the Servicing Schedule pursuant to which such Servicing Rights were, are or will be (as applicable) pledged to the Lender will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the date of delivery of such Servicing Schedule.

(d)Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming the Lender as “Secured Party” and the Borrower as “Debtor”, and describing the Collateral, in the appropriate jurisdictions, the Lender has a duly perfected security interest under the UCC in all right, title (as applicable), and interest of the Borrower in, to and under, subject to Freddie Mac’s Superior Interest and the other interests of each Applicable Agency, the Pledged Servicing Rights.

(e)Subject to the Freddie Mac Requirements, the Borrower is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral free and clear of any Lien, except for Freddie Mac’s Superior Interest and the Liens created or permitted under the Facility Documents.

(f)Subject only to the Freddie Mac Requirements (including the rights of Freddie Mac as set forth in Section 4.02) and the terms of the related Acknowledgement Agreement, the Borrower has the full right, power and authority, to pledge the related Servicing Rights, and the pledge of such Servicing Rights may be further assigned in accordance with and subject to the Fannie Mae Guides or the Freddie Mac Requirements, as applicable.

(g)In connection with any repurchase agreement, loan and security agreement or similar credit facility or agreement for borrowed funds entered into by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries on the one hand and any third party (including an Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates but excluding the Lender or any Affiliate of Lender) on the other, including without limitation, any other facility for the funding of servicing advances, no such third party has the right pursuant to the terms of such repurchase agreement, loan and security agreement or similar credit facility or agreement, to cause a Borrower to terminate, rescind, cancel, pledge, hypothecate, liquidate or transfer any of the Collateral.

(h)There are no co-investor or similar arrangements providing for any transfer, assignment, pledge, lien or encumbrance on any portion of the Pledged Servicing Rights related to any Mortgage Loans pooled in securitizations by Freddie Mac.

(i)There are no co-investor or similar arrangements providing for any transfer, assignment, pledge, lien or encumbrance on any portion of the Pledged Servicing Rights.

(j)Following the execution of any applicable Acknowledgement Agreement, such Acknowledgment Agreement is in full force and effect and neither Fannie Mae nor Freddie Mac has provided written notice to any Borrower or Lender that it will terminate or revoke the related Acknowledgement Agreement or its consent to the pledge of the Pledged Servicing Rights by Borrower to Lender. Each Agency Consent Agreement is in full force and effect and neither Fannie Mae nor Freddie Mac has provided written notice to any Borrower that it will terminate or revoke the related Agency Consent Agreement (as applicable), except in each case to the extent that a failure of any Agency Consent Agreement to be in full force and effect or any such termination or revocation would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.01    Affirmative Covenants of Borrower. The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lender that, so long as any Loan is outstanding and until all Obligations have been paid in full:

(a)    Existence, Etc. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries will:

(i)(A) preserve and maintain its legal existence and all of its material rights, privileges, franchises; (B) maintain all licenses (including, but not limited to, any FHA, VA or RHS licenses), permits or other approvals necessary to conduct its business and to perform its obligations under the Facility Documents; (C) except as would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or would have a material adverse effect on the Pledged Servicing Rights or Lender’s interest therein, remain in good standing under the laws of each state in which it conducts business and (D) not change its tax identification number, fiscal year or method of accounting without prior written notice to the Lender;

(ii)comply with the requirements of and conduct its business in accordance with all Requirements of Law (including, without limitation, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures and all environmental laws) if failure to comply with such requirements would be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(iii)keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied;

(iv)not move its chief executive office or chief operating office from the addresses referred to in Section 6.01(o) unless it shall have provided Lender [***] days prior written notice of such change;

(v)pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed on it or on its income or profits or on any of its Property or upon any part thereof, as well as any other lawful claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien upon such properties or any part thereof, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except for any such tax, assessment, charge or levy the payment of which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained; and

(vi)subject to the Freddie Mac Requirements, permit representatives of Lender, during normal business hours upon [***] Business Days’ prior written notice at a mutually desirable time, or at any time with prior notice during the continuance of an Event of Default, to examine, copy and make extracts from its or Subservicer’s books and records in its

possession, to inspect any of its Properties, and to discuss its business and affairs with its officers, all to the extent reasonably related to the Pledged Servicing Rights related to the Loans hereunder.

(b)    Performance and Compliance with Servicing Contracts/Subservicing Agreements. Borrower will comply with all terms, provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under each of the Facility Documents to which it is a party in full force and effect in all material respects and enforce the Servicing Contracts in all material respects in accordance with the terms thereof. To the extent Lender has approved any Subservicer and such Subservicer services any Mortgage Loan as to which the Pledged Servicing Rights are derived, Borrower shall not amend or permit the amendment of any sections of any Subservicing Agreement which would negatively affect in any material respect any Subservicer’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans relating to Pledged Assets, without Lender’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall diligently enforce its rights under any Subservicing Agreement while any Pledged Asset is serviced by such Subservicer, including all rights to terminate and replace such Subservicer upon the occurrence of a Subservicer Termination Event or otherwise pursuant to such Subservicing Agreement. Borrower shall not waive any material default or other material failure to perform under or breach of the Servicing Contracts or Subservicing Agreement without Lender’s prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, any default, failure or breach by any Subservicer that would permit the termination and replacement of such Subservicer under the Subservicing Agreement shall be deemed “material” and shall not be waived by any Borrower Party or its Affiliates without Lender’s prior written consent.

(c)    Taxes. Borrower shall pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged on or before the date they become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon Borrower or upon its income and profits or upon any of its property, real, personal or mixed or upon any part thereof, as well as any other lawful claims which, if unpaid, become a Lien upon such properties or any part thereof, except for any such taxes, assessments and governmental charges, levies or claims as are appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves are provided. Borrower shall file, on a timely basis, all federal, and material state and local tax and information returns, reports and any other information statements or schedules required to be filed by or in respect of it.

(d)    Due Diligence. Borrower acknowledges that the Lender, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, has the right to perform and/or appoint a third party (including without limitation, any Valuation Agent) to perform, reasonable continuing due diligence and valuation reviews with respect to Borrower, any Subservicer through Borrower, the Servicing Rights and the other Collateral, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, and specifications made hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, or otherwise (the “Diligence Expenses”). The Borrower agrees that the Lender and its Authorized Representatives will be permitted during normal business hours upon prior written notice to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Collateral or Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD or Ginnie Mae in the possession of the Borrower or any Subservicer through a request to Borrower; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Borrower or any Subservicer is required by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD or Ginnie Mae to keep confidential. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to the occurrence of a Default, Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for any and all reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket Diligence Expenses up to the Pre-Default Diligence Cap incurred by the Lender and its respective designees and appointees in connection with the ongoing due diligence and auditing activities with respect to Borrower’s origination and servicing business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, Borrower shall reimburse the

Lender for any and all Diligence Expenses incurred by Lender following such Default without regard to the Pre-Default Diligence Cap. The Borrower further agrees that the Lender and its Authorized Representatives will be permitted during normal business hours upon [***] Business Days’ prior written notice at a mutually desirable time or at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to examine, copy and make extracts from the Servicing Records, any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Pledged Servicing Rights and related Loans in the possession of, or under the control of, Borrower or any Subservicer through a request to Borrower, or Borrower’s or any Subservicer’s books and records, to inspect any of its Properties, and to discuss its business and affairs with its officers, all to the extent reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender and any third party due diligence agent or underwriter in connection with any such due diligence performed hereunder, including, but not limited to, providing Lender and any third party diligence agent or underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Pledged Servicing Rights, any Subservicer and related Loans in the possession of, or under the control of, Borrower.

(e)    Changes in Servicing Contracts. The Borrower shall provide written notice to the Lender of any changes in any Servicing Contracts or the Applicable Agency Guides that may materially affect the Servicing Rights within [***] Business Days after the Borrower receives notice thereof.

(f)    Records. Borrower shall keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

(g)    Reserved.

(h)    Financial Statements. Borrower shall deliver to Lender:

(ii)As soon as available and in any event within [***] days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, the audited consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year and the related audited consolidated statements of operations and changes in member’s equity and of cash flows for Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, accompanied by an opinion thereon of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing, which opinion shall not be qualified as to scope of audit or going concern and shall state that said consolidated financial statements fairly present the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries at the end of, and for, such fiscal year in accordance with GAAP;

(iii)Together with each set of the financial statements delivered pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Borrower in the form of Exhibit 7.01 attached hereto;

(iv)Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an accountant’s opinion that Borrower is in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, subject to qualifications and exceptions, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender in good faith; and

(v)From time to time, in the event that Lender requests additional information regarding the financial condition, operations, well-being or business of Borrower or Subservicer (including but not limited to any information regarding any repurchase and indemnity requests or demands made upon Borrower by any third party investors (including any Agency)), Borrower shall (i) provide a written response to Lender within [***] Business Days, which response shall include an estimated time period in which Borrower, in its commercially reasonable judgment acting in good faith, expects to provide such additional requested information, and (ii) provide such additional requested information to Lender within the time period specified in such written response; provided that Lender and Borrower shall cooperate in good faith to agree on an extended time frame for delivery of such additional requested information if reasonably requested by Borrower and Lender determines in good faith that Borrower is diligently attempting to provide such additional requested information.

Borrower shall not, nor to the extent reasonably in its control, permit Subservicer to take any action, or fail to take any action, that would be reasonably likely to cause Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD or Ginnie Mae to terminate or threaten to terminate its right to service loans for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD or Ginnie Mae with cause.

(j)    Quality Control. Borrower shall conduct and shall cause each Subservicer to conduct quality control reviews of Borrower’s and such Subservicer’s servicing and origination operations in accordance with industry standards and Agency and HUD requirements. Upon the reasonable request of Lender and to the extent Borrower is not prohibited by any Agency, regulator, or Governmental Authority or Requirement of Law from disclosing its findings, Borrower shall promptly report to Lender quality control findings upon written request from time to time.

(k)    Special Affirmative Covenants Concerning Servicing Rights. Subject to the Freddie Mac Requirements:

(l) The Borrower warrants and shall defend the right and interest of the Lender in and to the Pledged Servicing Rights against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(m) The Borrower shall preserve the security interests granted hereunder and upon request by the Lender undertake all actions which are necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, to (x) maintain the Lender’s security interest (including the priority thereof) in the Collateral in full force and effect at all times prior to the satisfaction of all obligations under this Agreement and the release of the Lender’s lien in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including upon a Change of Control with respect to the Borrower), and (y) preserve and protect the Collateral and protect and enforce the rights of the Lender to the Collateral, including the making or delivery of all filings and recordings (of

(a)Optional Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(m)), the Lender may by written notice to the Borrower, terminate the Facility and declare all Loans and all other Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

(b)Automatic Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(m), the Facility shall be automatically terminated and the Loans and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such event, without demand or notice of any kind.

(c)Remedies. Upon any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Lender, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, shall have all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which rights shall be cumulative. The Borrower agrees, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice from the Lender, to assemble, at its expense, all of the Collateral that is in its possession (whether by return, repossession, or otherwise) at a place designated by the Lender. All out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Lender in the collection of all Obligations, and the enforcement of its rights hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, shall be paid out of the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without notice, advertisement, hearing or process of law of any kind, but subject to the terms of any applicable Acknowledgment Agreement, (i) enter upon any premises where any of the Collateral which is in the possession of the Borrower (whether by return, repossession, or otherwise) may be located and take possession of and remove such Collateral, (ii) sell any or all of such Collateral, free of all rights and claims of the Borrower therein and thereto, at any public or private sale, and (iii) bid for and purchase any or all of such Collateral at any such sale.

The Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notices, advertisements, hearings or process of law in connection with the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Each of the Lender and the Borrower shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bid for and purchase any or all Collateral at any public or private sale. The Borrower hereby agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral, the Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of Applicable Law (including, without limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority, and the Borrower further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall not be liable for any sale, private or public, conducted in accordance with this Section 8.02(c). If an Event of Default occurs, and upon acceleration of the Loans hereunder, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and Collections on the Eligible Servicing Rights and proceeds of sales and securitizations of Eligible Servicing Rights,

and other Collateral will be used to pay the Obligations. The terms set forth in this Section 8.02(c) are subject to the Freddie Mac Requirements and Freddie Mac’s Superior Interest.

(d)In the event that the Borrower receives a notice from any Applicable Agency indicating a material breach, material default or material non-compliance by the Borrower that the Lender reasonably determines may entitle an Applicable Agency to terminate such Borrower as servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Contracts, which breach, default or non-compliance has not been satisfactorily cured or remedied within [***] Business Days of the receipt by the Borrower of such notice, or such lesser time as Lender believes is necessary to protect its interest and provides the Borrower with written notice thereof, as the case may be, the Lender may by written notice to the Borrower, terminate the Facility and declare all Loans and all other Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

Section 9.01    Restrictions on Assignments. The Borrower shall not assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, under any Loan pursuant to this Agreement or under the other Facility Documents, to any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries and, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, any bank or other entity; provided, that (i) such assignment is approved by the Applicable Agency, (ii) the Borrower, the Applicable Agency and the related assignee enter into an acknowledgement agreement in which the Applicable Agency acknowledges the related security interest of such assignee in the Servicing Rights, (iii) with respect to any assignment to any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with notice of such assignment and (iv) with respect to any assignment to a bank or other entity other than to an Affiliate or Subsidiary of Lender, Lender shall provide the Borrower with notice of such assignment and Borrower shall incur no greater liability to such bank or other entity than the liability of Borrower to Lender provided hereunder. The foregoing shall not limit Lender’s ability to pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender pursuant to Section 9.04(b). This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Participant (as defined below) and each Lender assignee shall be subject to the requirements set forth in the confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement or issue one or more participation interests to any Person without the consent of Borrower.

Section 9.02    Evidence of Assignment; Endorsement on Notes. The Lender hereby agrees that it shall endorse the Notes to reflect any assignments made pursuant to this Article IX or otherwise. In the event that Lender assigns its rights in accordance with Section 9.01, Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this

Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 9.03    Rights of Assignee. Upon the assignment the Lender of all of its rights and obligations hereunder, under the Notes and under the other Facility Documents to an assignee in accordance with Section 9.01, such assignee shall have all such rights and obligations of the Lender as set forth in such assignment or delegation, as applicable, and all references to the Lender in this Agreement or any Facility Document shall be deemed to apply to such assignee to the extent of such interest. If any interest in any Facility Document is transferred to any assignee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such assignee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.02.

Section 9.04    Permitted Participants; Effect. (a) Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time, upon at least [***] Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, sell to one or more entities (“Participants”) participating interests in this Agreement, its agreement to make Advances, or any other interest of Lender hereunder and under the other Facility Documents; provided that Lender shall not be required to provide advance notice to Borrower with respect to participating interests to the Federal Reserve Bank. In the event of any such sale by Lender of participating interests to a Participant, Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to Borrower shall remain unchanged, Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided, that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of set-off if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with Lender the proceeds thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts that are set-off pursuant to the foregoing shall pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy the obligations owed to the applicable Participant and Lender by the Borrower in an amount equal to the amount of such set-off. Lender, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and each Lender assignee and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s and each Lender assignee, assignee’s interest in the rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Facility Documents (the “Register”) The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and its Affiliates and Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the related participation or assignment for purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Lender and other parties hereto at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b)    Lender may furnish any information concerning a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of Lender from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants) only after notifying Borrower in writing and securing signed confidentiality agreements and only for the sole purpose of evaluating assignments or participations and for no other purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, no signed confidentiality agreements shall be required in the event information concerning a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of Lender from time to time is furnished to the Federal Reserve Bank in connection with a repledge or rehypothecation or other financing of Advances to the Federal Reserve Bank.

(c)    Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender in connection with any such assignment and/or participation, to execute and deliver replacement notes, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement and the other Facility Documents in order to give effect to such assignment and/or participation, with any related expenses incurred by Borrower prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default to be paid by Lender.

Section 9.05    Voting Rights of Participants.

    The Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Facility Documents other than any amendment, modification, or waiver with respect to any Loan or Committed Amount in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest, or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan or Committed Amount, extends the Loan Repayment Date, postpones any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or Committed Amount or releases all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as expressly permitted pursuant to the Facility Documents).

Section 10.01    Indemnities by the Borrower. Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, the Lender, its Affiliates, successors, permitted transferees and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) in the event that the Lender has assigned its rights or delegated its obligations in respect of this Agreement, and the Indemnified Amounts with respect to such assignee exceed the Indemnified Amounts that would otherwise have been payable by the Borrower to the Lender, the amount of such excess, (c) any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages of any Indemnified Party and (d) any other amounts specifically identified herein as to which Borrower’s liability is expressly limited, but only to the extent of such express limitation. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Lender in connection with any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Collateral, the Borrower will save, indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the Borrower. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Lender as and when billed by the Lender for all the Lender’s documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of the Lender’s rights under this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and

disbursements of its counsel. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the obligation of the Borrower under the Note is a recourse obligation of the Borrower. Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable to the Borrower for any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. This Section 10.01 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 10.02    General Provisions. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in Section 10.01 (and subject to the limitations on indemnification contained therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless on the basis of public policy, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The provisions of this Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 11.01    Amendments, Etc. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, supplemented, or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender and in accordance with the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement.

Section 11.14 Provisions Applicable to Freddie Mac and the Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, Lender and Borrower acknowledge and agree that:

(a)     Priority of Freddie Mac. The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Facility Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the rights and remedies of the parties provided hereby and thereby, the security interest granted herein, and any payments or disbursements hereunder and thereunder are subject and subordinate in all respects to (i) Freddie Mac’s Superior Interests, (ii) the terms and provisions of the Freddie Mac

Acknowledgment Agreement and the other Freddie Mac Requirements, and (iii) all claims of Freddie Mac arising out of or relating to any and all breaches, defaults and outstanding obligations of Borrower to Freddie Mac.

Notwithstanding any extra-contractual meanings, the terms “MSR”, “mortgage servicing rights” and “Servicing Rights” (and any references to ownership thereof by Borrower) (i) are for convenience purposes only as a result of industry and accounting convention, and (ii) in fact refer to conditional servicing contract rights (as further described in the definition of “Freddie Mac Servicing Contract Rights”) with respect to which Borrower may have rights sufficient to satisfy UCC § 9-203(b)(2), but which Borrower cannot own.

(f)     Consent in Sole and Absolute Discretion. Whenever in this Agreement there is a requirement Freddie Mac’s consent, Freddie Mac’s approval, Freddie Mac’s determination, Freddie Mac’s acceptance, Freddie Mac’s judgment or any other phrase of similar nature pertaining to an action required of Freddie Mac, it is understood by such phrase that

(g)     Confidentiality. The parties hereto may disclose Confidential Information to Freddie Mac in connection with the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement.

(h)     Assignment.

(i)     Amendment. Any modification or amendment of this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents must be made in compliance with the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement.

(j)    Third-Party Beneficiary. Freddie Mac shall be an express third-party beneficiary of, and entitled to rely upon in all respects, Sections 4.01, 4.02(b) and this 11.14. Such Sections shall not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.

(k)    Conflict. To the extent that any conflict exists or shall be adjudged to exist between the terms and provisions of (i) this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents, and (ii) the Freddie Mac Acknowledgement Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Freddie Mac Acknowledgement Agreement shall govern and control. To the extent that any conflict exists or shall be adjudged to exist between the provisions of (i) this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents and (ii) this Section 11.14, the terms and provisions of this Section 11.14 shall govern and control.

(ii) Any references to the phrase “notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document” (or any similar phrasing) shall be interpreted to mean “notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document (other than the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement)”;

(iii) Inclusion of the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement within the term “Facility Documents” shall not give to any party hereto any additional rights or remedies in the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement, nor the ability to assign rights or issue participations in the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement; and

Section 11.15    Amendment and Restatement.

The terms and provisions of the Existing LSA shall be amended and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and shall supersede all provisions of the Existing LSA as of the date hereof. From and after the date hereof, all references made to the Existing LSA in any Facility Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Agreement. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any power, remedy or right of the Lender, or constitute a waiver of any provision of, or any past noncompliance with the Existing LSA, or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed or delivered therewith or future noncompliance with any of the Facility Documents or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed or delivered therewith, and shall not operate as a consent to any further or other matter under the Facility Documents. Each party hereto agrees and understands that by entering into and performing its obligations hereunder, this Agreement, as it amends and restates the Existing LSA shall not constitute a novation and shall in no way adversely affect or impair the priority of the Lender’s security interest and lien on the Collateral.
