In the event that the Seller gives Buyer authority to correct the computer data, reformat the Mortgage Loan Schedule or properly align the computer fields, the Seller shall pay an amount set forth in the fee schedule attached to the Manual and any other direct expenses incurred by Buyer; provided, that upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Seller, Buyer may change such computer correction fee. The Seller shall hold Buyer harmless for such correction, reformatting or realigning, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

In the event that Seller requires the return of any Collateral Documents, upon its execution of a release pursuant to the terms of the Custodial Agreement, the Buyer may authorize the Custodian to deliver any Collateral Documents to the Seller for correction. The Seller shall be fully liable for any failure or delay in the return or handling of any documents delivered to the Seller in accordance with the terms of such release.

c. Upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 9 hereof, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date, against the transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller or through the transfer of the Purchase Price to an Authorized Funds Recipient. The Purchased Assets shall be sold by the Seller to the Buyer on a servicing-released basis. In the event that Seller requests that the Buyer remit by wire transfer an amount in excess of the Purchase Price in connection with the purchase of any Purchased Assets, such excess amount shall be remitted from the Seller’s Clearing Account to the Buyer, provided that such remittance does not leave the Seller’s Clearing Account with less than the Seller’s Clearing Account Threshold. Upon transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer as set forth in this Section 3 and until termination of any related Transactions as set forth in Sections 4 or 15 of this Agreement, ownership of each Purchased Asset, including each document in the related Mortgage File and Records, is vested in Buyer; provided that, prior to the recordation by the Custodian as provided for in the Custodial Agreement, record title in the name of Seller to each Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be retained by Seller in trust, for the benefit of Buyer, for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing and the supervision of the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

d. With respect to each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan Document Receipt Date following the applicable Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver or cause the related Authorized Funds Recipient to deliver to the Custodian the remaining documents in the Mortgage File.

4. Repurchase

a. Seller shall repurchase the related Purchased Assets from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date at the Repurchase Price. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset on each Repurchase Date except as otherwise provided herein). Seller is obligated to repurchase and take physical possession of the Purchased Assets from Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Seller’s expense on the related Repurchase Date.

b. Provided that no Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and Buyer has received the related Repurchase Price upon repurchase of the Purchased Assets, Buyer agrees to release its ownership interest hereunder in the Purchased Assets. With respect to payments in full by the related Mortgagor of a Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller agrees to (i) immediately provide Buyer with a copy of a report from the related Servicer indicating that such Purchased Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, (ii) remit to Buyer, within two (2) Business Days, the Repurchase Price with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loans and (iii) provide Buyer a notice specifying each Purchased Mortgage Loan that has been prepaid in full. Buyer agrees to release its ownership interest in Purchased Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after receipt of evidence of compliance with clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

c. Seller shall repurchase the related Purchased Agency Securities from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date at the Repurchase Price so long as the Purchased Agency Securities remain on the Buyer’s Federal Book Account and have not previously been purchased by a Takeout Broker Dealer.

5. [Reserved.]

6. Margin Maintenance

a. If on any date, and at Buyer’s discretion, the product of either (A) the lesser of (i) the current Market Value of a Purchased Asset, or (ii) the unpaid principal balance underlying any individual Purchased Asset, times the current Purchase Price Percentage for such Purchased Asset, or (B) the current Market Value of all Purchased Assets times the current Purchase Price Percentage for all Purchased Assets, is less than the then current Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset(s) as of such date (such deficit, a “Margin Deficit”), Buyer may provide notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below and in Sections 6(b) and 6(c) below, a “Margin Call”) of such Margin Deficit.

b. In connection with the issuance of a Margin Call, Buyer may, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, require Seller to (i) transfer cash to Buyer to satisfy the Margin Deficit, or (ii) repurchase the affected Purchased Asset(s) at the Repurchase Price if Buyer determines that such Purchased Asset is ineligible. If Seller has not satisfied the Margin Deficit within the applicable Margin Deadline (as more particularly set forth in Section 6(c)), then Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, either (i) notify Seller that Buyer is exercising its rights to sell

the affected Purchased Assets as more particularly set forth in Section 6(e) below or (ii) exercise its remedies under Section 15 hereof. In connection with exercising remedies pursuant to this Section 6(b), Buyer shall apply funds received in connection with a Margin Call in such manner as Buyer determines to eliminate the Margin Deficit. If Buyer exercises its rights to sell the related Purchased Assets as set forth in Section 6(e) and the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Margin Deficit, Buyer may in its discretion require Seller to transfer cash to Buyer to eliminate such Margin Deficit. Once a Margin Deficit has been eliminated, the related Margin Call shall have been satisfied.

c. A Margin Call may be given by any written or electronic means. Notice given before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Deficit satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day or such later time as may be communicated by Buyer to Seller in its sole discretion; notice given after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Deficit satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day or such later time as may be communicated by Buyer to Seller in its sole discretion (the foregoing time requirements for satisfying a Margin Deficit, the “Margin Deadlines”). 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. Any late payments, other than those directly related to a Mortgage Loan or Agency Security, shall accrue interest at rate equal to the Accounts Receivable Rate. Any late payments directly related to a Mortgage Loan shall accrue interest at the then applicable Loan Margin, or any late payments directly related to an Agency Security shall accrue interest at the then applicable Agency Security Margin.

d. In the event that a Margin Deficit exists or any other funds are due and payable to Buyer, Buyer may retain any funds received by it to which the Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder or exercise control over any funds in the Seller’s Clearing Account and remit such funds to the Settlement Account, which funds shall be held and applied by Buyer against such Margin Deficit, may be applied by Buyer against amounts due and owing, or any shortfall, with respect to any Purchased Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer retains the right, in its discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.

e. If Buyer elects to exercise its rights set forth in Section 6(b) above to sell the affected Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to sell the affected Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, the Servicing Rights) or Purchased Agency Securities. Such disposition of a Purchased Mortgage Loan may be, at Buyer’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Purchased Agency Securities with respect to any such disposition thereof. Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Purchased Agency Securities. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loan or the Purchased Agency Security shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Mortgage Loan or Purchased Agency Security or any portion thereof by

using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loan or the Purchased Agency Security, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Buyer shall be entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Mortgage Loans individually for the prevailing price.

7. Income Payments

a. If Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset during the term of a Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Upon notice from Buyer, or immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Income (other than any Income relating to prepayments of principal in full which shall be paid in accordance with Section 7(d) below) shall be deposited in the Collection Account by either the Seller or the applicable Servicer. All deposits contained in the Collection Account (other than any Income relating to prepayments of principal in full which will be paid in accordance with Section 7(d) below) will be transferred to the Settlement Account on a monthly basis in accordance with Section 11(c) or by the Buyer at any other time.

b. Prior to an Event of Default, upon the termination of any Transaction, Buyer shall apply payments received from a Takeout Investor or Takeout Broker Dealer or otherwise, including those payments contemplated in Sections 6, 7(a) and 7(d), as follows (provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to apply payments in the event that it is unable to identify the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Purchased Agency Securities to which such payments correspond or there are insufficient funds in the Settlement Account or the Seller’s Clearing Account, and the related Repurchase Price will continue to accrue interest as if no payment had been made):

First, to the payment of the Repurchase Price for each outstanding Purchased Asset owed by the Seller under this Agreement;

Second, to the payment of all other amounts owed by the Seller under the Program Agreements;

Third, to the payment of related costs and expenses owed under the Program Agreements, including reasonable compensation to Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Buyer in connection therewith;

Fourth, to the payment of any other amounts owed by the Seller or any Affiliate to the Buyer under any other instrument or agreement, in accordance with Section 24;

Fifth, to the Servicer, if and only if such party is a third party, costs and fees it is entitled to under the related Servicing Agreement; and

Sixth, to the Seller, any remainder, by remittance to the Seller’s Clearing Account.

c. If an Event of Default has occurred, notwithstanding any provision set forth herein, Buyer may apply Income contained in the Collection Account for the payment of all outstanding Obligations under this Agreement including, any related costs and expenses owed under the Program Agreements, including reasonable compensation to Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Buyer in connection therewith. After all Obligations under this Agreement have been paid in full, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, distribute to Seller any remaining Income; provided, however, that if Seller has failed to repurchase the Purchased Assets and Buyer has exercised its rights in a “deemed sale” of the Purchased Assets as set forth in Section 15 herein, then Seller shall not be entitled to any remaining Income.

d. Seller shall, or cause Servicer to, deposit within two (2) Business Days after the receipt of any prepayment of principal in full into the Collection Account, with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan. Buyer shall apply upon receipt any such amount to reduce the amount of the Repurchase Price due upon termination of the related Transaction.

e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that any Income (excluding principal prepayments in full) is not deposited in the Collection Account, upon notice by Buyer to Seller, Seller shall immediately remit to the Settlement Account all such Income received by Servicer or Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets.

8. Payment and Transfer

Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by the Seller, the Takeout Investor or Takeout Broker Dealer hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the Settlement Account or such other account as Buyer shall specify to Seller, Takeout Investor or Takeout Broker Dealer in writing. Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the Settlement Account; however, Buyer, in its discretion, may, by written notice, allow Seller to withdraw money from the Settlement Account in accordance with the terms of the Manual. All Purchased Assets shall be evidenced by a Purchase Confirmation. Any Repurchase Price received by Buyer in the Settlement Account after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. From time to time, the Seller may request in writing that a wire transfer be made from the Seller’s Clearing Account and Buyer may approve such request (provided that the Seller’s Clearing Account Threshold is maintained and there are sufficient funds remaining to satisfy any other amounts that are currently due and payable under this Agreement). Upon approval of such a request, the Buyer will remit funds to Seller’s Account for Remittance.

a.

Seller shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, deposit all Income, excluding any prepayments in full as set forth in Section 7(d), received by Servicer on the Purchased Assets in the Collection Account no later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following receipt; provided, however, that any amounts required to be remitted to Buyer shall be deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to the day on which such remittance is to occur. Any such amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall then be remitted to the Settlement Account on a monthly basis, on the fifth (5^th) calendar day (or next succeeding Business Day in the event that any such calendar day is not a Business Day), and on any other day Buyer directs such a transfer in its discretion.

d. If any Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than Seller, or if the servicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loan is to be transferred from Seller to a Servicer other than Seller, Seller shall, prior to such Purchase Date or servicing transfer date, as applicable, provide to Buyer the related Servicing Agreement and a servicer notice or letter agreement, executed by Buyer, Seller and such Servicer (each, a “Servicer Side Letter”), in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit F hereto.

The Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans under the Servicing Agreement without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing and all Records of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its discretion.

f. If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Seller or any entity responsible to Seller for managing or servicing any such Purchased Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and promptly remedy any non-compliance.

g. The Servicer’s rights and obligations to interim service the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall terminate on the twentieth (20^th) day of each calendar month (and if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), unless otherwise directed in writing by the Buyer prior to such date. For purposes of this provision, notice provided by electronic mail shall constitute written notice. Upon termination, the Servicer shall transfer servicing, including, without limitation, delivery of all servicing files to the designee of the Buyer. The Servicer’s delivery of servicing files shall be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Seller and Servicer shall have no right to select a subservicer or successor servicer. After the servicing terminates and until the servicing transfer date, the Servicer shall service the Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and for the benefit of the Buyer.

h. If Seller at any time uses or intends to use, as applicable, an independent third party subservicer to fulfill its obligations as Servicer hereunder, Seller shall, prior to the related Purchase Date or servicing transfer date, as applicable, (i) provide Buyer with the related Servicing Agreement pursuant to which such subservicer shall service such Mortgage Loans, which Servicing Agreement shall be acceptable to Buyer in all respects, (ii) obtain Buyer’s prior written consent to the use of such subservicer in the performance of such servicing duties and obligations, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion and (iii) provide Buyer with a fully executed Servicer Side Letter with respect to such subservicer. In no event shall Seller’s use of a subservicer relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder, and Seller shall remain liable under this Agreement as if Seller were servicing such Mortgage Loans directly.

i. Seller hereby agrees and acknowledges, and shall cause any third-party subservicer to agree and acknowledge, that Buyer or its designees shall have the right to conduct examinations and audits of the Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Buyer shall also have the right to obtain copies of all Records and files of the Servicer relating to the Purchased Assets, including all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the servicing thereof.

12. Representations and Warranties

a. Each Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the Effective Date and at all times thereafter:

(1) Due Organization and Qualification. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction under whose laws it is organized. Seller is duly qualified to do business, is in good standing and has obtained all necessary licenses, permits, charters, registrations and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted and the performance of its obligations under the Program Agreements except where any failure to obtain such a license, permit, charter, registration or approval would not cause or be likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect or impair the enforceability of any Purchased Asset.

(2) Power and Authority. Seller has all necessary power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Program Agreements, any electronic transmissions contemplated hereunder, and to consummate the Transactions.

(3) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Program Agreements, any electronic transmissions contemplated hereunder, by Seller have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not require any additional approvals or consents or other action by or any notice to or filing with any Person other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made.

(4) Non-contravention. None of the execution and delivery of the Program Agreements, any electronic transmissions contemplated hereunder, by Seller or the consummation of the Transactions and transactions thereunder:

(a) conflicts with, breaches or violates any provision of the Governing Documents or material agreements of Seller or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award currently in effect having applicability to Seller or its properties;

(b) constitutes a material default by Seller under any loan or repurchase agreement, mortgage, indenture or other agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which it or any of its properties is or may be bound or affected; or

(c) results in or requires the creation of any lien upon or in respect of any of the assets of Seller except the lien relating to the Program Agreements.

(5) Legal Proceeding. There is no action, proceeding or investigation by or before any court, governmental or administrative agency or arbitrator affecting any of the Purchased Assets, Seller or any of its Affiliates, pending or threatened, which, if decided adversely, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(6) Valid and Binding Obligations. Each of the Program Agreements, and any electronic transmissions contemplated hereunder, to which Seller is a party, when executed and delivered by Seller, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller, in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(7) Financial Statements. The financial statements of Seller, copies of which have been furnished to Buyer, (i) are, as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of Seller as of the dates and for the periods indicated and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, except as noted therein (subject as to interim statements to normal year-end adjustments).

Except as disclosed in such financial statements, Seller is not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments (including, but not limited to, any potential or current repurchase demands, any potential or current indemnification claims or notice of any actual or potential fines or penalty fees) that, individually or in the aggregate, have a possibility of causing a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller.

(8) Accuracy of Information. Neither this Agreement nor any of the documents or information prepared by or on behalf of Seller and provided by Seller to Buyer contain any statement of a material fact with respect to Seller or the Transactions that was untrue or misleading in any material respect when made. Since Seller’s initial discussions with Buyer regarding the terms of this Agreement and the furnishing of such documents or information, there has been no change, nor any development or event involving a prospective change known to Seller, that would (i) render any of the Program Agreements, such documents or information untrue or misleading in any material respect or (ii) adversely affect the property, business, operations or conditions (financial or otherwise) of Seller.

(9) No Consents.

In addition, Seller agrees to make the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule 1 hereto as of the “cutoff date” of the securitization or whole loan sale of the related Mortgage Loans by Seller or Buyer, as applicable; provided, however, that to the extent that Seller has at the time of such securitization or whole loan sale actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would render any of such representations and warranties materially false, Seller shall have no obligation to make such materially false representation and warranty.

(19) ERISA. Each employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA sponsored or maintained by Seller or any ERISA Affiliate or with respect to which Seller or any ERISA Affiliate has any liability, contingent or otherwise, is in material compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code except as would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. No ERISA Event has occurred and no condition exists which presents a material risk to Seller or any Affiliate of incurring a liability, fine or penalty with respect to or on account of any Plan or Multiemployer Plan pursuant to Title IV of ERISA except to the extent any such condition would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(23) Title to Properties. Seller has good, valid insurable (in the case of real property) and marketable title to all of its properties and assets.

(24) Additional Covenants and Conditions. All of the Additional Covenants and Conditions are true and correct at all times, and continue to be maintained as set forth in the Addendum.

If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 15, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 15, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer, or, to the extent not yet transferred to the Collection Account, the Seller’s Clearing Account or the Reserve Account, remitted to Buyer, and in any case applied, in Buyer’s discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by any Seller hereunder, (iii) Seller shall immediately comply with the further instructions of Buyer with respect to holding or delivering any of the Mortgage Files relating to any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control; and (iv) the Agency Security Margin and the Loan Margin shall automatically be increased by the Post Default Rate Margin. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to satisfy any Obligations with funds remaining in the Seller’s Clearing Account or the Reserve Account.

c. Buyer shall have the right to direct all Servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Buyer to the extent that any such Servicer is not currently remitting to the Buyer, and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer. Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the Servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause.

d. If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 15, Buyer shall have the right to immediately sell and liquidate the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, the Servicing Rights), Purchased Agency Securities and all other Purchased Assets. Such disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans may be, at Buyer’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Purchased Agency Securities with respect to any such disposition thereof. Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets. The foregoing procedure for disposition and liquidation of the Purchased Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to such Purchased Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Buyer shall be entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Mortgage Loans individually for the prevailing price. Buyer shall also be entitled, in its discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give the Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the current market value of such Purchased Assets (as determined by Buyer (or an Affiliate thereof) in its discretion using methodology consistent with Buyer’s determination with respect to similar portfolios) against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder.

e. Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Buyer may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets to the Repurchase Price hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Buyer deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

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

g. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the Repurchase Price related to a Transaction, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this paragraph (g) shall be at a rate equal to the Post Default Rate Margin or the Accounts Receivable Rate, as applicable.

h. Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law, including, without limitation, any equitable remedies.

i. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 15, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

j. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and as permitted by law Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

k. If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 15, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination shall affect Seller’s outstanding obligations to Buyer at the time of such termination, nor shall it affect the survivability of any provisions in this Agreement that, by their express terms, are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements and the repayment in full of all outstanding Obligations

19. Custodial Responsibilities

a. On the Purchase Date, or Delivery Date if different from the Purchase Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the Mortgage File, together with a Transmittal Letter upon which the Custodian shall be entitled to rely conclusively until expressly notified to the contrary in writing by the Buyer. The Mortgage Loan Schedule, relating to all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to the Custodian on the related Purchase Date (or the related Delivery Date), shall be delivered electronically to the Custodian by Buyer on such Purchase Date or Delivery Date, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Manual.

b. From time to time Seller may request Shipment Orders from the Buyer.

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 each of them shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (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.

23. Non-assignability

Without the prior written consent of Buyer, the Program Agreements are not assignable by any Seller or Guarantor, as applicable. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements; provided, however, that Buyer shall maintain as agent of Seller, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

24. Set-off

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller or Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Seller or Guarantor hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates (including, without limitation Wells Fargo & Company and its Affiliates) or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller or Guarantor under any other agreement. Buyer agrees promptly to notify each Seller and Guarantor 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. For avoidance of doubt and not as a limitation, Buyer may set-off any amounts in the Seller’s Clearing Account and the Reserve Account.

Buyer shall at any time, unless and until all Obligations under this Agreement have been paid in full, have the right 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 or Guarantor hereunder if an Event of Default or Default has occurred.

25. Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction

a. This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Seller acknowledges that the obligations of Buyer hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Buyer. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

b. EACH SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.

c. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION WHATSOEVER INVOLVING ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH WAIVED DAMAGES ARE BASED ON STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT, COMMON LAW OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS KNOWN AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OF ACTION. NO INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS DISTRIBUTED BY IT THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

d. SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 25 ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT SUCH PARTY HAS ALREADY RELIED ON SUCH WAIVERS IN ENTERING INTO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS, AND THAT SUCH PARTY WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON SUCH WAIVERS IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS UNDER THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.

e. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 25 SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS AND THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE OBLIGATIONS.

26. No Waivers, Etc.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6(a), Section 15(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

27. Intent

a. THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT EACH TRANSACTION IS A “REPURCHASE AGREEMENT” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 101 OF TITLE 11 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE, AS AMENDED, AND A “SECURITIES CONTRACT” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 741 OF TITLE 11 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE, AS AMENDED, AND A “MASTER NETTING AGREEMENT” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN SECTION 101 OF TITLE 11 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE, AS AMENDED.

b. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT ANY PARTY’S RIGHT TO LIQUIDATE PURCHASED ASSETS DELIVERED TO IT IN CONNECTION WITH TRANSACTIONS HEREUNDER OR TO EXERCISE ANY OTHER REMEDIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 15 HEREOF IS A CONTRACTUAL RIGHT TO LIQUIDATE SUCH TRANSACTION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 555, 559 AND 561 OF TITLE 11 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE.

28. Power of Attorney

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, providing “good-bye” letters to the Mortgagor in the form set forth in the Manual, sign assignments on behalf of Seller as its attorney-in-fact, and sell a Purchased Asset “as is where is” in the name and on behalf of Seller. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and given as security and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent. At Buyer’s request, Seller shall immediately execute all powers of attorney in favor of Buyer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition, Seller shall direct by board resolution attached as part of Exhibit B hereto

that, pursuant to its execution and delivery of such a power of attorney, certain personnel of Buyer may take certain actions on behalf of Seller as its attorney-in-fact, with such resolution to survive until all obligations of Seller hereunder are satisfied. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28.

29. Buyer May Act Through Affiliates

Buyer may, from time to time, designate one or more Affiliates for the purpose of performing any action hereunder.

30. Indemnification; Obligations

a. Each Seller agrees to hold Buyer and each of its respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Interest Rate Protection Agreement, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel. Seller’s agreements in this Section 30 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Each Seller hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Each Seller also agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE INDEMNITY IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

b. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 30, if any Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its discretion. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any such costs, including, without limitation, per diem interest at the Post Default Rate Margin.

34. Periodic Due Diligence Review

Each Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Seller and the Mortgage Loans and Agency Securities, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, to review the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than three (3) Business Days) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Mortgage Files and any documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the

Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering Broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan, which such information may be used by Buyer to calculate Market Value. Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 34 (“Due Diligence Costs”).

36. Documents Mutually Drafted

The Seller and the Buyer agree that this Agreement and each other Program Agreement prepared in connection with the Transactions set forth herein have been mutually negotiated by each party, and consequently such documents shall not be construed against either party as the drafter thereof.

37. Joint and Several

If there are multiple Guarantors or Sellers, such Guarantors, such Sellers and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that Sellers and Guarantors, as applicable, are each jointly and severally liable to Buyer for all of their respective obligations hereunder.

38. Security Interest

Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for performance by Seller of its obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets. Seller agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Buyer’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, the Seller hereby authorizes the Buyer to file financing statements relating to the Purchased Assets, as the Buyer may deem appropriate. The Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 38.

39. Agency Security Takeout

a. Prior to an Event of Default, from time to time, the Seller, as an approved Issuer of Ginnie Mae Securities, may agree to issue Ginnie Mae Securities backed by certain of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or, as an approved Fannie Mae Seller or Freddie Mac Seller, may agree to sell Purchased Mortgage Loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as applicable, in exchange for Fannie Mae Securities or Freddie Mac Securities, as applicable.

SCHEDULE 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO

PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS

(a) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within thirty (30) days thereof, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.

(b) No Outstanding Charges. All taxes and governmental assessments or other similar charges, levies or assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one (1) month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and/or interest thereunder.

(c) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The related Mortgage and Mortgage Note contain the entire agreement of the parties and all of the obligations of the Seller under the Purchased Mortgage Loan.

(d) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. Seller has no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

Schedule 1-1

(e) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Guide, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100)% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Guide. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1974. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(f) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

Schedule 1-2

(g) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(h) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development; provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings or shall conform to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its discretion, that a de minimus percentage of the Mortgage Loans may be Cooperative Mortgage Loans and that no residence or dwelling is a (i) a mobile home or manufactured housing unit (other than a Manufactured Home) not secured by real property, (ii) a log home, (iii) an earthen home, (iv) an underground home, (v) any dwelling situated on more than ten (10) acres of property and (vi) any dwelling situated on a leasehold estate. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Buyer in its discretion With respect to each Loan that is a Manufactured Home, such unit is a “single family residence” within the meaning of Section 25(e)(1) of the Code, and has a minimum of four hundred (400) square feet of living space, a minimum width of one hundred two (102) inches and is of a kind customarily used at a fixed location. The fair market value of the Manufactured Home securing each contract was at least equal to eighty percent (80%) of the total price of the contract (including land) at either (i) the time the contract was originated (determined pursuant to the REMIC Provisions) or (ii) the time the contract is transferred to the purchaser.

(i) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first priority lien and first priority security interest on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing and with respect to Cooperative Mortgage Loans, including the Proprietary Lease and the Cooperative Shares. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

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

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

Schedule 1-3

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

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

(j) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed.

(k) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. There is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan, and any requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(l) Ownership. Seller has full right to sell the Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Schedule 1-4

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

(n) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an irrevocable title commitment, or an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, each of which must be in form and substance acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph (i) of this Schedule 1, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(o) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

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

Schedule 1-5

(q) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation.

(r) Payment Terms. Principal and/or interest payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first (1^st) day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and/or interest (subject to an “interest only” period in the case of Interest Only Loans), which installments of interest (a) with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans are subject to change on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date and (b) with respect to Interest Only Loans are subject to change on the Interest Only Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Only Adjustment Date, in both cases with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty (30) years from commencement of amortization. The Due Date of the first payment under the Mortgage Note is no more than sixty (60) days from the date of the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note does not permit Negative Amortization.

(s) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.

(t) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully permitted to be occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received notification from any Governmental Authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated with an “owner-occupied” Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence.

Schedule 1-6

Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement and Securities Contract and related Addendum, each dated as of October 22, 2015 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Repurchase Agreement”), between loanDepot.com, LLC (the “Seller”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Buyer”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

[[Subs][S]ervicer] (the “[Subs][S]ervicer”) [sub]services certain mortgage loans for Seller pursuant to a [[Subs][S]ervicing Agreement] between [Subs][S]ervicer and Seller dated as of [Date] (the “[Subs][S]ervicing Agreement”). Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the [Subs][S]ervicer is hereby notified that Seller has sold and will continue to sell to Buyer certain mortgage loans on a servicing-released basis (including, without limitation, the servicing rights) which are [sub]serviced by [Subs][S]ervicer. In recognition thereof, Seller, Buyer and [Subs][S]ervicer hereby agree as follows:

A. Upon receipt by [Subs][S]ervicer of a written notice that Buyer has declared an Event of Default pursuant to, and as defined in, its Repurchase Agreement with Seller (the “Notice”) wherein Buyer shall identify the mortgage loans which were sold to Buyer under the Repurchase Agreement (the “Affected Loans”), [Subs][S]ervicer and Buyer, as applicable, acknowledge and agree to the following modifications to the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement:

1. [Subs][S]ervicer shall continue to [sub]service the Affected Loans in accordance with the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement until such time as Buyer delivers written notice of its desire to terminate [Subs][S]ervicer’s services as set forth below in Clause A.6. While [Subs][S]ervicer continues to [sub]service the Affected Loans pursuant to the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement, it shall segregate all amounts collected on account of such Affected Loans, hold them in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Buyer, and remit such collections in accordance with Buyer’s written instructions;

Exhibit F-1

2. [Subs][S]ervicer shall comply with the requests of Buyer with respect to the Affected Loans, and shall deliver to Buyer any information provided by [Subs][S]ervicer to Seller under the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement as well as any other or further information, to the extent that providing such information would not violate any confidentiality agreement, privacy law or otherwise, with respect to the Affected Loans reasonably requested by Buyer. To the extent that Buyer either:

a. requests any information which is not already provided by [Subs][S]ervicer to Seller under the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement the preparation and delivery of which causes [Subs][S]ervicer to incur additional costs or expenses, or

b. makes a request of [Subs][S]ervicer with respect to the Affected Loans that is outside the scope of the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement and which causes [Subs][S]ervicer to incur additional costs or expenses,

[Subs][S]ervicer shall prepare a statement of work related thereto, including price quotations for such additional costs and expenses, and obtain Buyer’s written approval of such statement of work before proceeding with such additional work;

3. Buyer shall reimburse [Subs][S]ervicer for all costs and expenses incurred by the [Subs][S]ervicer to [sub]service the Affected Loans after receipt of the Notice. Such costs and expenses shall be charged in accordance with, and as set forth in, the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement at the time the Notice is provided to the [Subs][S]ervicer. It shall be Seller’s responsibility to satisfactorily inform Buyer of the terms and conditions of the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement, inclusive of the costs, fees and expense provisions thereunder;

4. Prior to the date on which Buyer delivers the Notice to [Subs][S]ervicer, Seller agrees to provide Buyer with notice of any amendments, modifications or waivers to the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement, including proposed changes to the schedule of costs and expenses thereunder;

5. On and after the date on which Buyer delivers the Notice to [Subs][S]ervicer, no amendment to the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement affecting the Affected Loans, including amendments to provisions pertaining to costs, fees and expenses, shall be effective as to the Affected Loans unless and until Buyer provides its prior written consent thereto;

6. [Subs][S]ervicer acknowledges that Buyer shall not have to comply with the notice requirements set forth in the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement with respect to the transfer of the servicing of any Affected Loans. Instead, [Subs][S]ervicer agrees to cooperate with any servicing transfer requests received from Buyer as soon as commercially practicable, not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days following receipt of written notice from Buyer stating that it wishes to transfer the servicing of the Affected Loans to a substitute [sub]servicer and identifying such [sub]servicer. [Subs][S]ervicer will comply with any reasonable [sub]servicing transfer instructions provided by Buyer

Exhibit F-2

to [Subs][S]ervicer at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. [Subs][S]ervicer further agrees that, except as permitted in Clause A.9. below, it will not invoke any voluntary termination provisions pursuant to the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement the effect of which would allow [Subs][S]ervicer to terminate the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement with respect to the Affected Loans on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of the Notice;

7. [Subs][S]ervicer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has no obligations for any actions or omissions (including, without limitation, any related costs, expenses and indemnity obligations related to such acts or omissions) with respect to the [sub]servicing of the Affected Loans prior to [Subs][S]ervicer’s receipt of the Notice. [Subs][S]ervicer further agrees that Buyer has no obligations for any termination fees, penalties or similar fees or charges in connection with the transfer of the [sub]servicing of the Affected Loans except those fees and charges incurred by [Subs][S]ervicer as a result of any transfer of servicing requested by Buyer in accordance with Clause A.6 above, but only to the extent of the fees and charges applicable to servicing transfers under the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement, as contemplated in Clause A.3. above;

8. [Subs][S]ervicer agrees it will not exercise any rights of set-off under the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement for amounts due to it for Affected Loans arising prior to its receipt of the Notice against amounts received on Affected Loans after receipt of the Notice. Seller agrees it will remain responsible and liable for all amounts due and unpaid on Affected Loans arising prior to [Subs][S]ervicer’s receipt of the Notice;

9. In the event that Buyer elects, in its sole discretion, to assign its rights under the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement in connection with Buyer’s exercise of remedies and not to transfer the [sub]servicing of the Affected Loans to a successor [sub]servicer, Buyer agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause A.6., [Subs][S]ervicer shall have the right to voluntarily terminate the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement in accordance with its terms; and

10. [Subs][S]ervicer acknowledges that Seller has provided Buyer with a power of attorney. [Subs][S]ervicer agrees to accept and not contest that power of attorney with respect to any actions Buyer may take for, and in the stead of, Seller with respect to any Affected Loans. The power of attorney referenced in this Clause A.10. shall only provide Buyer with the power to act for, and in the stead of, Seller under certain circumstances as provided in Schedule I, which is a copy of the form of Power of Attorney that Seller has executed in favor of Buyer. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this provision does not, and shall not be interpreted to, require [Subs][S]ervicer to act on behalf of, or take any action at the direction of, Buyer or Seller in reliance thereon.

B. [Subs][S]ervicer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer owns the Affected Loans and the servicing rights to the Affected Loans, as herein set forth. [Subs][S]ervicer acknowledges and agrees that it has no servicing rights, subservicing rights, or any other rights in or to the Affected Loans except for the rights granted to it under the [Subs][S]ervicing Agreement, as modified or added to by this letter agreement.

Exhibit F-3

C. Notwithstanding any contrary information which may be delivered to [Subs][S]ervicer by Seller, [Subs][S]ervicer may conclusively rely on any information pertaining to the Repurchase Agreement or the Notice delivered to it by Buyer. Seller shall fully indemnify and hold [Subs][S]ervicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against it for any actions taken in good faith by [Subs][S]ervicer in connection with the delivery of such information or Notice. Buyer and Seller agree that [Subs][S]ervicer shall not be included as a party to any legal proceeding or action regarding whether the Notice given to [Subs][S]ervicer by Buyer was appropriate and/or valid under the terms of the Repurchase Agreement.

D. THIS LETTER AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT AND THE [SUB]SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE SPECIFIED IN THE [SUB]SERVICING AGREEMENT, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF.

THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT IF NO STATE’S LAW IS SPECIFIED AS THE CONTROLLING LAW FOR THE [SUB]SERVICING AGREEMENT, THEN THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL APPLY TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT AND THE [SUB]SERVICING AGREEMENT AND, IN SUCH CASE, THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT AND THE [SUB]SERVICING AGREEMENT.

E. If any provision of this letter agreement is held illegal or unenforceable in a judicial proceeding under any jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed severed and shall be inoperative for purposes of that jurisdiction only. Provided that the fundamental terms and conditions of this letter agreement remain legal and enforceable, the remainder of this letter agreement shall remain operative, in full force and effect, and binding upon the parties in any and all other jurisdictions.

F. This letter agreement cannot be modified except by a duly executed writing that has been signed by authorized representatives of each party hereto.

G. The indemnifications, representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive the expiration or termination of this letter agreement. This letter agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, Seller, Buyer, [Subs][S]ervicer, and the successors and assigns of each. H. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original that, when taken together, shall constitute a single instrument. Signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be the equivalent of an original signature. A copy of this executed letter agreement shall have the same force and effect as the original.

Exhibit F-4

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter agreement by signing in the signature block below and forwarding an executed copy to Buyer promptly upon receipt. Any notices to Buyer should be delivered to the following addresses: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., c/o Wells Fargo Securities – Mortgage Banker Finance Group, 2500 Northwinds Parkway, Suite 200, Alpharetta, Georgia 30009, Attention: Ken Logan, with a copy to Buyer’s counsel at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 375 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10152, Attention: Mary Curtis Delecroix or to any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by [Subs][S]ervicer and/or Seller.
