Each Transaction Request delivered by Seller hereunder shall constitute a certification by Seller that all the conditions set forth in this Section 3(b) (other than clauses (xi) and (xii) hereof) have been satisfied (both as of the date of such notice or request and as of Purchase Date).

(c)Initiation.

(i)Throughout each Business Day, Seller may request that Buyer enter into Transactions hereunder by delivering a Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to all Mortgage Loans subject to the requested Transaction on or prior to (A) with respect to Wet Loans, [***] on the requested Purchase Date and (B) with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Wet Loans, [***] on the Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date.

(ii)Seller shall deliver to Custodian the Mortgage File with respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to the requested Transaction (A) which is not a Wet Loan, in accordance with the timeframes set forth in the Custodial Agreement, and (B) with respect to each Wet Loan, on or prior to the Wet Delivery Deadline; provided that, with respect to any eMortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver to Custodian each of Buyer’s and Seller’s MERS Org IDs, and shall cause (i) the Authoritative Copy of the related eNote to be delivered to the eVault via a secure electronic file, (ii) the Controller status of the related eNote to be transferred to Buyer, (iii) the Location status of the related eNote to be transferred to Custodian, and (iv) the Delegatee status of the related eNote to be

transferred to Custodian, in each case using MERS eDelivery and the MERS eRegistry (collectively, the “eNote Delivery Requirements”).

(iii)Following receipt of such request, Buyer shall agree to enter into such requested Transaction so long as the conditions set forth herein are satisfied and after giving effect to the requested Transaction the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price does not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price, in which case Buyer shall remit the Purchase Price pursuant to the Seller’s Wiring Instructions.

(iv)Buyer’s remittance of the Purchase Price in connection with the Transaction and Seller’s acceptance thereof, will constitute the parties agreement to enter into such Transaction. Upon remittance of the Purchase Price to Seller, Seller hereby grants, assigns, conveys and transfers all rights in and to the Purchased Assets evidenced on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule submitted through the Warehouse Electronic System.

(v)Buyer shall confirm the terms of each Transaction by posting a Confirmation on the Warehouse Electronic System by the end of the day on each Purchase Date. Each Confirmation together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby unless objected to in writing by Seller no more [***] after the date such Confirmation was posted on the Warehouse Electronic System or unless a corrected Confirmation is posted by Buyer; provided that Buyer’s failure to post a Confirmation shall not affect the obligations of Seller under any Transaction. An objection sent by Seller must state specifically that such writing which is an objection, must specify the provision(s) being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes they should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more [***]after the Confirmation was posted on the Warehouse Electronic System.

(vi)The Repurchase Date for each Transaction shall not be later than the Termination Date.

(d)Issuance of Agency Securities. Upon the written approval of Buyer and subject to (x) Seller’s prompt delivery to the applicable Agency any and all documents necessary to enable such Agency to make Delivery to Buyer or its designee of an Agency Security backed by the related Purchased Mortgage Loans and (y) receipt of the applicable Trade Assignment, Seller may cause Purchased Mortgage Loans to be pooled for the purpose of backing an Agency Security. At such time as an Agency Security backed by a pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans is delivered to Buyer by the applicable Agency, (a) such Agency Security shall immediately and with no further action on the part of Buyer, Seller or Custodian become subject to a Transaction hereunder and (b) the pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans backing such Agency Security shall immediately and with no further action on the part of Buyer, Seller or Custodian no longer be subject to a Transaction hereunder and Buyer shall have been deemed to release any ownership and/or security interest it has in such pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans.

(e)Repurchase; Purchase by an Approved Investor.

(i)Seller may repurchase Purchased Assets without penalty or premium on any date by remitting to Buyer the applicable Repurchase Price pursuant to the Buyer’s Wiring Instructions.

(ii)Any repurchase of Purchased Assets may occur simultaneously with a sale of the Purchased Asset to an Approved Investor subject to the following procedures:

(A) Seller shall instruct the Approved Investor to remit directly to Buyer pursuant to Buyer’s Wiring Instructions no later than [***] on any Business Day the Takeout Price in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset.

(B)Simultaneously, Seller shall deliver to Buyer electronically the related Purchase Advice. The Takeout Price received by Buyer must equal the amount set forth on the Purchase Advice.

(C)The Takeout Price shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price in respect of the Purchased Assets listed on the Purchase Advice. In the event the Takeout Price is less than the Repurchase Price, the Buyer shall withdraw funds from the Operating Account and Warehouse Accounts such that no deficiency exists. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not release its interests in any Purchased Asset until such time as it receives the Repurchase Price in full.

(D)In the event Buyer receives the Takeout Price on or prior to [***] and either (x) no Purchase Advice is received or (y) the Takeout Price does not match the amount on the Purchase Advice (a “Purchase Advice Deficiency”), then Buyer shall retain the Takeout Price and the related Purchased Assets shall not be released and the Transactions shall continue to accrue Price Differential under this Agreement until the Purchase Advice Deficiency is remedied. In the event the Takeout Price matches the amount set forth in the Purchase Advice but are in excess of the Repurchase Price (such amount, the “Excess Proceeds”) provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, Buyer shall remit such Excess Proceeds to the Operating Account or as otherwise agreed to by Buyer and Seller.

(E)In no event shall Buyer be liable to Seller, any Approved Investor or any other Person in connection with the procedures set forth herein.     

(iii)On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by reassignment to Seller or its designee of the Purchased Assets against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price as described in this Section 3(e). Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset.

(f)Request for Temporary Increase. Seller may request a temporary increase of the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price (a “Temporary Increase”) by submitting to Buyer an executed Temporary Increase Request, setting forth the requested increased Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price (such increased amount, the “Temporary Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price”) and the effective date and expiration date of such Temporary Increase. Buyer may from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to such Temporary Increase, by returning to Seller a countersigned Temporary Increase Request. At any time that a Temporary Increase is in effect, the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price shall equal the Temporary Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price for all purposes of this Agreement and all calculations and provisions relating to the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price shall refer to the Temporary Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price. Upon the termination of a Temporary Increase, Seller shall repurchase Purchased Assets in order to reduce the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price of all Transactions to the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price (as reduced by the termination of such Temporary Increase).

Section 4.Margin Amount Maintenance

(g)Buyer shall determine the Market Value of each Purchased Asset at such intervals as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

(h)If at any time the aggregate Asset Values of Purchased Assets then subject to Transactions are less than the aggregate Purchase Prices (taking into account the application of any Buydown Availability pursuant to Section 9(f) hereof) for such Purchased Assets (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee cash in the amount of the Margin Deficit.

(i)Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) may be given by any written or electronic means. Any notice given before [***] on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than [***] on such Business Day; notice given after [***]on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than [***] on the following Business Day.

(j)The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(k)Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(b) above shall be held as unsegregated cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement.

Section 5.COLLECTIONS; Income Payments

(l)On each Business Day that a Transaction is outstanding, the Pricing Rate shall be reset and, unless otherwise agreed, the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date. To the extent a Purchased Asset is subject to a Transaction for a period in excess of [***] , at Buyer’s sole option, Price Differential shall be settled in cash on such date and thereafter as more frequently requested by Buyer.

(m)Upon request of Buyer, Seller shall establish and maintain a segregated time or demand deposit account for the benefit of Buyer (the “Custodial Account”) with Buyer, UBS AG Stamford Branch or an Insured Depository Institution acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion and, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, shall deposit into the Custodial Account, within [***] of receipt, all Income received with respect to each Mortgage Loan sold hereunder. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller shall cause all Income received with respect to the Purchased Assets by any Servicer to be remitted directly to the Custodial Account. Under no circumstances shall Seller deposit any of its own funds into the Custodial Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to Buyer as owner of any Mortgage Loans. Seller shall name the Custodial Account “loanDepot.com, LLC in trust for the benefit of UBS AG, by and through its branch office at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York.”

(n)All Income received with respect to a Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder, whether or not deposited in the Custodial Account, shall be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer as the owner of such Mortgage Loan.

(o)Following an Event of Default, Seller shall remit to Buyer all Income and any funds in the Custodial Account as instructed by Buyer in writing. Such remittances shall be by wire transfer in accordance with wire transfer instructions previously given to Seller by Buyer.

(p)Seller authorizes Buyer to withdraw any Income otherwise due Buyer hereunder from any of the Warehouse Accounts and the Operating Account.

(q)Seller shall not change the identity or location of the Custodial Account. Seller shall from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute such directions to Buyer, and other papers, documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Buyer.

(r)If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of each deposit in the Custodial Account, and each withdrawal from the Custodial Account, made by it with respect to Mortgage Loans owned by Buyer and serviced by Seller. Seller shall also promptly deliver to Buyer electronic copies or photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to the Custodial Account as Buyer may from time to time request.

(s)The amount required to be paid or remitted by Seller to Buyer, not made when due shall bear interest from the due date until the remittance, transfer or payment is made, payable by Seller, at the lesser of the Post-Default Rate or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. If there is no maximum rate of interest specified by applicable law, interest on such sums shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate.

(t)If on any date, Buyer determines in its sole good faith discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark; (ii) the Benchmark is no longer in existence; (iii) continued implementation of the Benchmark is no longer operationally, administratively or technically feasible or no significant market practice for the administration of the Benchmark exists, (iv) the Benchmark will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer of purchasing or maintaining Transactions or (v) the Relevant Governmental Body, the CME Term SOFR Administrator or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Benchmark shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer may give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the rate for such period that will replace the Benchmark for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the greater of (x) an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) and (y) zero, together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”). [AMENDMENT NO. 2]

(u)To the extent Buyer implements a Successor Rate and Successor Rate Conforming Changes it will promptly notify Seller Parties of the effectiveness of any such changes. Any determination of a Successor Rate and the adoption of Successor Rate Conforming Changes shall be made by Buyer in a manner substantially consistent with market practice with respect to similarly situated counterparties with substantially similar assets in similar facilities and any such Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller Parties to this Agreement or the other Program Documents. [AMENDMENT NO. 2]

Section 6.Requirement of Law

(v)If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational or governing documents) including those regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or application of any Requirement of Law thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i)shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer;

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

(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, or shall have the effect of reducing Buyer’s rate of return 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 on an after-tax basis.

(w)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.

(x)If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate, with supporting documentation, as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6 submitted in good faith by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 7.Taxes.

(y)Any and all payments by or on behalf of Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program 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, duties, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings (including backup 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 any Person 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

Program Documents to Buyer (including, for purposes of Section 6 and this Section 7, any agent, assignee, successor or participant), (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any 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) such 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 a Buyer, (i) Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of such Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Program Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes), and (ii) Taxes imposed as a result of its failure to comply with the requirements of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (as in effect on the date hereof) and any U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“FATCA”).

(z)In addition, Seller hereby agrees to timely pay or, at the Buyer’s option, timely reimburse it for payment of, any present or future stamp, court, recording, documentary, excise, filing, intangible, 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 Program Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, any performance, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Program Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(aa)Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer (including its Beneficial Tax Owners) 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 under this Section 7 imposed on, paid, deducted or withheld by such Buyer (or any Beneficial Tax Owners thereof) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes or liabilities delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes or any other liabilities for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. 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 written demand therefor.

(ab)Within [***] of request of Buyer, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(ac)For purposes of this Section 7(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not organized 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.,” “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 disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by a person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which such Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii)in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is an individual, (x) for non-United States persons, 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 F (a “Tax Compliance Certificate”) or (y) for United States persons, 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 and that is not a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by a person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); 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 Tax Compliance 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 Tax Compliance Certificate, and (y) in the case of a non-withholding foreign partnership or trust, 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 Tax Owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such Beneficial Tax Owner if such Beneficial Tax Owner were Buyer; 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 required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and/or this clause (vi) of this Section 7(e) with respect to its Beneficial Tax Owner if such Beneficial Tax 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 of 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 Tax Compliance 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 required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and/or this clause (vii) with respect to each such person if each such person were Buyer; and

(viii)if a payment made to a Buyer under this Agreement or any other Program Documents would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (viii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

If Buyer provides a form pursuant to Section 7(e)(i)(x) and the form provided by the Buyer at the time such Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate under the tax treaty 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 such 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, the Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent that the Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes,

and the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(ad)For any period with respect to which a Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 7(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in any 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), such 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 such Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist such Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(ae)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 and the other Program Documents. Nothing contained in Section 6 or this Section 7 shall require Buyer to complete, execute or make available any of its Tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary, or whose completion, execution or submission would, in Buyer’s judgment, materially prejudice Buyer’s legal or commercial position.

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

(af)Security Interest. On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the Purchased Assets identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Repurchase Assets related thereto. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (other than as set forth in Section 20 for U.S. tax purposes), 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 the Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in:

(i) the Purchased Assets;

(ii)the Records related to the Purchased Assets;

(iii)the Program Documents (to the extent such Program Documents and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets);

(iv)any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property;

(v)any Takeout Commitments relating to any Purchased Assets;

(vi)any Closing Protection Letter, escrow letter or settlement agreement relating to any Purchased Asset;

(vii)any Servicing Rights relating to any Purchased Asset;

(xv)any other assets relating to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Assets;

(xvi)accounts, chattel paper (including electronic chattel paper), goods (including inventory and equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, investment property, general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software) in each case related to the Purchased Assets; and

(xvii)together with all accessions and additions thereto, substitutions and replacements therefor, and all products and proceeds of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).

(ag)Servicing Rights. Seller acknowledges that it has sold the Purchased Assets to Buyer on a servicing released basis and it has no rights to service the Purchased Assets.

Withdrawals may be paid by wire transfer or any other means chosen by Buyer from time to time in its sole discretion.

(an)Depository. Unless otherwise designated in writing by Buyer, the Depository shall be UBS AG, Stamford Branch. Funds on deposit at the UBS AG, Stamford Branch are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any governmental agency of the United States, Switzerland or any other jurisdiction. The Omnibus Account and Operating Account are obligations of the UBS AG, Stamford Branch only, and are not obligations of UBS AG generally or of any of its other affiliates. The payment of principal and interest on the Operating Account at the UBS AG, Stamford Branch is subject to the creditworthiness of UBS AG. The Operating Account is not a deposit account or other liability of Buyer. In the unlikely event of the failure of the UBS AG, Stamford Branch, the Seller acknowledges that it will be a general unsecured creditor of UBS AG.

(ao)Buydown Amount. The Buydown Amount shall be held as unsegregated cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement.

(i)Provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, [***], the Seller may submit a written request in the form of Exhibit H hereto (a “Buydown Application Request”) requesting Buyer apply the Buydown Availability to new Transactions pursuant to the terms identified therein; provided that in no event shall the Buyer apply the Buydown Availability to the extent it would cause the Purchase Price Percentage for such Purchased Mortgage Loans to be less than [***]%.

(ii)During the requested period of time that the application of the Buydown Availability is effective (as identified in the Buydown Application Request), the Buyer shall apply the Buydown Availability from the Operating Account and shall allocate such amount to the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Mortgage Loans that become subject to Transactions during such time to match the applicable Buydown Application Request. To the extent there are insufficient funds in the Operating Account, Seller shall wire such funds at least [***] to the effective date of any Buydown Application Request.

(iii)Provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, [***], the Seller may submit a Buydown Application Request, requesting that Buyer no longer apply such

amounts to the outstanding Purchase Price of all Purchased Mortgage Loans. Upon the effective date thereof as set forth in the Buydown Availability Request, all Transactions may revert to the applicable Asset Value as set forth in the Pricing Letter and Buyer may return such previously applied amounts to the Operating Account in its sole discretion.

(iv)A Buydown Application Request shall be effective only upon Buyer’s written acceptance thereof which may be by email.

(v)Any application of the Buydown Availability of the Buydown Availability to the Operating Account shall be subject to the terms of the Program Documents, including, without limitation, Schedule 1 of the Pricing Letter. Any return of the Buydown Availability to the Operating Account shall be subject to Buyer’s sole discretion.

(vi)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a breach of a Concentration Limit, a Margin Call or other Default exists, the Buyer shall be entitled to use any or all of the Buydown Amount (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall include amounts of Buydown Availability applied to the outstanding Purchase Price of Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms hereof) and to withdraw such amounts from the Operating Account or re-apply amounts previously applied to the outstanding Purchase Price in Buyer’s sole discretion to cure such circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to the Buyer without prior notice to, or consent from, Seller.

(vii)Regardless of whether a Margin Call or other Default exists, Buyer also may withdraw interest paid to the Operating Account in its discretion from time to time, and without prior notice to or consent from the Seller, as a full or partial off-set to Seller’s obligation hereunder to pay the Price Differential.

(viii)Within [***] receipt of written request from Seller, and provided no Margin Call or other Default exists, Buyer shall withdraw any portion of such Buydown Amount from the Operating Account and remit such amount back to Seller.

(ap)Operating Account Interest. Subject to Section 9(h), the Buydown Amount will accrue interest at the Operating Account Rate; provided that in no event shall interest accrue on [***]. Unless otherwise set forth in the Pricing Letter:

(i)The Depository calculates interest accrual daily on the basis of funds credited to the Operating Account, but credits interest monthly. As a result, interest will not begin to compound until credited in the month following its accrual. The Depository credits interest to the Operating Account in the month following its accrual on a schedule set by Depository from time to time, which may result in a delay in interest crediting as late as the twentieth (20th) day of the calendar month.

(ii)The Depository accrues interest on funds deposited to the Operating Account beginning on the day on which such funds are received in the Operating

Account, and through, but not including, the day on which funds are withdrawn from the Operating Account.

(iii)Interest paid on funds in the Operating Account at the Operating Account Rate shall be credited to the Operating Account unless otherwise withdrawn by Buyer at the direction of Seller as provided herein.

If Seller shall fail to maintain with Buyer during any calendar month deposits in the Operating Account in the average, after charges to compensate Buyer for services rendered to Seller, equal to at least the Minimum Balance Requirement, Seller shall pay to Buyer a fee equal to the amount of such deficit multiplied by the Maintenance Fee Rate.

(ar)Fees. Seller shall pay in immediately available funds to Buyer all fees, including without limitation, the Warehouse Fees, as and when required hereunder. All such payments shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account designated by Buyer.

such Takeout Commitment is not voided or reduced by such servicing and administration.

(dz)If any Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than Seller or Cenlar FSB (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Mortgage Loan is to be transferred to a Subservicer, Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement and a Servicer Notice executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer prior to such Purchase Date or servicing transfer date, as applicable.

(ec)At Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being serviced by Seller, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than thirty (30) days or such other circumstances that could cause a material adverse effect on such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s title to such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller may be required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller.

Seller shall have no claim for lost servicing income, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder and the servicing fee is reduced or eliminated. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Buyer as a result of a Default or an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Buyer’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.

(ef)For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans provided that Seller shall continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis.

Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 17 and Section 18 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 17 hereof.

(eh)Buyer shall maintain, on Seller’s behalf and for review by Seller upon written request, a register (the “Register”) on which it will record each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights.

Section 19.Hypothecation or Pledge of Purchased Assets

Title to all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets to any Person, including without limitation, the Federal Home Loan Bank provided that Buyer provides Seller with written notice promptly after such engagement, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or rehypothecation with any such Person, in all cases subject to Buyer’s obligation to reconvey the Purchased Assets (and not substitutes therefor) on the Repurchase

Date, all at no cost to Seller. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller.

Buyer may, in connection with any repurchase transaction or proposed repurchase transaction pursuant to this Section 19, disclose to the repledgee or proposed repledgee, as the case may be, this Agreement and the other Program Documents and any information relating to Seller or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller; provided that such repledgee agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

Section 20.Tax Treatment

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Program Documents, each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Assets as owned by Seller in the absence of 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 any Requirement of Law (in which case such party shall promptly notify the other party of such Requirement of Law).

Section 21.Set-Off

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Seller or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all Property and 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 or cash, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, 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 Seller or any Affiliate thereof. Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Repurchase Assets and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or its Affiliates to Seller or its Affiliates against all of Seller’s or its Affiliate’s obligations to Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Seller or its Affiliate and Buyer and any Affiliate of Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Seller 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.

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 22.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. Notwithstanding any such termination or the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the representations and warranties and covenants hereunder shall continue and survive. The obligations of Seller under Section 14 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 23.Notices and Other Communications

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by electronic transmission) delivered to the intended recipient at the addresses set forth below. 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 24.use of the Warehouse Electronic System and other electronic media

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may require or permit certain transactions with Buyer be conducted electronically using Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures. Seller consents to the use of Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures whenever expressly required or permitted by Buyer and acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall be bound by its Electronic Signature and by the terms, conditions, requirements, information and/or instructions contained in any such Electronic Records.

Seller agrees to adopt as its Electronic Signature its user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers, access codes, a facsimile image of a written signature and/or other symbols or processes as provided or required by Buyer from time to time (as a group, any subgroup thereof or individually, hereinafter referred to as Seller’s Electronic Signature). Seller acknowledges that Buyer will rely on any and all Electronic Records and on Seller’s Electronic Signature transmitted or submitted to Buyer.

Buyer shall not be liable for the failure of either its or Seller’s internet service provider, or any other telecommunications company, telephone company, satellite company or cable company to timely, properly and accurately transmit any Electronic Record or fax copy.

Before engaging in Electronic Transactions with Seller, Buyer may provide Seller, or require Seller to create, user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes, as applicable, to permit access to Buyer’s computer information processing system. Each Person permitted access to the Warehouse Electronic System must have

a separate identification code and password. Seller shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and access codes provided or required by Buyer. Seller shall adopt and maintain security measures designed to prevent the loss, theft or unauthorized or improper disclosure or use of any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes by Persons other than the individual Person who is authorized to use such information. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly, but in any event, no later than [***] in the event (i) of any loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of any of the user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes or (ii) Seller has any reason to believe there has been a breach of security or that its access to Warehouse Electronic System is no longer secure for any reason.

Seller and Buyer each understands and agrees that it shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding its computer hardware and software from any and all (a) computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that may cause or facilitate the destruction, corruption, malfunction or appropriation of, or damage or change to, any of Seller’s or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes and (b) computer “worms,” “trap doors” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that enable unauthorized access to Seller’s and/or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes.

Seller agrees that Buyer may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, without limiting Seller’s liability set forth herein, establish minimum security standards that Seller must, at a minimum, comply with in an effort to (x) protect and safeguard any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes from loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use; and (y) prevent the infiltration and “infection” of Seller’s hardware and/or software by any and all computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses,” “worms,” “trapdoors” or other harmful computer codes or programs.

If Buyer, from time to time, establishes minimum security standards, Seller shall comply with such minimum security standards within the time period reasonably established by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to confirm Seller’s compliance with any such minimum security standards. Seller’s compliance with such minimum security standards shall not relieve Seller from any of its liability set forth herein.

Whether or not Buyer establishes minimum security standards, Seller shall continue to be fully responsible for adopting and maintaining security measures that are consistent with industry practices as they relate to the risks associated with conducting electronic transactions with Buyer. Seller’s failure to adopt and maintain appropriate security measures or to comply with any minimum security standards established by Buyer may result in, among other things, termination of Seller’s access to Buyer’s computer information processing systems.

Seller understands and agrees that certain elements or components of the Warehouse Electronic System may be provided by Seller’s third party vendors, and hereby holds

Buyer harmless from any liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Seller relating to or arising out of Seller’s use of the Warehouse Electronic System including without limitation, the use of any elements or components provided by Seller’s third party vendors.

Section 25.Entire Agreement; Severability; Single Agreement

This Agreement, together with the Program Documents, constitute the entire understanding between Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions involving Purchased Assets. By acceptance of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller each 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.

Buyer and Seller 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 Seller 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 Buyer shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by it in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to it in respect of any other Transaction hereunder to the extent that Seller fails to meet the Obligations; (iii) 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 (iv) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application.

Section 26.Governing Law

CONNECTION WITH ANY ELECTRONIC TRANSACTION BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY E-SIGN.

Section 27.Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers

Section 28.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 Program Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Program 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 29.Netting

If Buyer and Seller are “financial institutions” as now or hereinafter defined in Section 4402 of Title 12 of the United States Code (“Section 4402”) and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (a) all amounts to be paid or advanced by one party to or on behalf of the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be “payment obligations” and all amounts to be received by or on behalf of one party from the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be “payment entitlements” within the meaning of Section 4402, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a “netting contract” as defined in Section 4402; (b) the payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be netted as follows. In the event that either party (the “Defaulting Party”) shall fail to honor any payment obligation under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder, the other party (the “Nondefaulting Party”) shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any payment to be made by the Nondefaulting Party to the Defaulting Party by the amount of the payment obligation that the Defaulting Party failed to honor.

Section 30.Confidentiality

Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any other regarding the terms set forth in any of the Program 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, (ii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, (iii) in the event of an Event of Default 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 or (iv) by Buyer in connection with any marketing material undertaken by Buyer provided that such material does not refer to Seller by name or otherwise contain information such that it can reasonably be derived such information relates to Seller; provided further, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall serve to (i) restrict any brokerage, research, investment management or trading activities conducted in the ordinary course of business (which includes arbitrage activities) by UBS Group AG, its employees or any other affiliates of UBS Group AG (collectively, “UBS Parties”) either for their own account or for the accounts of their customers; or (ii) restrict any investment banking and merger/acquisition activity performed in the ordinary course of the business of UBS Parties or its affiliates; provided that with respect to (i) or (ii) hereinabove, the individuals engaged in any of the foregoing activities have not reviewed the Confidential Terms or otherwise been informed by those who have reviewed it of the contents thereof. In addition, Seller may disclose the Confidential Terms with prior (if feasible) written notice to Buyer, any disclosures or filing required under Securities

and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws; provided that Seller shall not file the Pricing Letter without Buyer’s prior written consent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer, its Affiliates or any other Indemnified Party, or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Warehouse Fees and, Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer. The provisions set forth in this Section 30 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 31.Intent

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

(ej)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. It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 13 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended; 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).

(ek)The parties hereby agree that any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the

meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and part of the “contract” as such term is used in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(el)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,” a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract” as such terms are defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder.

(em)It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(en)Each party intends that this Agreement constitutes and shall be construed and interpreted as a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of and as such terms are used in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code and 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.

Section 32.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 and (b) 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.
