The Seller acknowledges that Mortgage Loans listed in any Exception Report are not Eligible Mortgage Loans and the Buyer is not obligated to enter into any Transaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan listed in any Exception Report.

(e) Subject to Section 5 hereof and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Transaction will then be entered into by the Buyer, transferring, via wire transfer, to the account specified by Seller on a Transaction Request, an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for such Transaction in funds immediately available to the Seller.

2.03 Transaction Request Procedure (Wet-Ink Transactions).

(a) Seller may request a Wet-Ink Transaction hereunder, on any Business Day during the period from and including the Effective Date to and excluding the Termination Date. Upon request of Agent, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Agent, an estimate of the amount required to fund Wet-Ink Transactions the following Business Day by 5:00 p.m. New York City time one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date.

(b) On the requested Purchase Date for a Wet-Ink Transaction, the Seller may deliver to the Agent with a copy to the Custodian, no more than three (3) transmissions, which transmissions shall (i) attach a Transaction Request, (ii) attach a schedule identifying the Eligible Mortgage Loans that the Seller proposes to sell to the Buyer hereunder in connection with such Transaction, (iii) specify the requested Purchase Price and (iv) be accompanied by a Mortgage Loan Data File from the Custodian, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, in respect of all Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans sold to the Buyer on such Purchase Date. The latest transmission must be received by the Agent no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time, on such Purchase Date. Such Transaction Request shall specify the requested Purchase Date.

(c) The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) and release to the Custodian the Mortgage File pertaining to such Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan on the next Business Day following receipt of such Mortgage File by the Seller, but in any event no later than seven (7) Business Days following the applicable Purchase Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement. On the applicable Purchase Date and on each Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Agent a schedule listing each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan with respect to which the complete Mortgage File has not been received by the Custodian (the “Wet-Aged Report”). The Agent may confirm that the information in the Wet-Aged Report is consistent with the information provided to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(b).

(d) Upon the Seller’s request for a Transaction pursuant to Section 2.03(a), the Buyer may, upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof, and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, enter into a Transaction with the Seller on the requested Purchase Date, in the amount so requested.

(e) Subject to Section 5 hereof, such Purchase Price will then be made available by the Custodian transferring at the direction of the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer), via wire transfer, the amount of such Purchase Price from the account of the Buyer maintained with the Custodian to the account of the designated Closing Agent pursuant to disbursement instructions provided by the Seller on the electronic system maintained by the Custodian; provided, however, that (i) the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) has been provided such disbursement instructions and shall not have rejected, in its sole good faith discretion, any wiring location, (ii) the Custodian shall not, in any event, (A) transfer funds to the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or (B) transfer funds in excess of the original principal balance of the related Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan. Upon notice from the Closing Agent to the Seller that the related Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan was not originated, the Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans and the Closing Agent shall immediately return the funds via wire transfer to the account of the Buyer maintained with the Custodian. The Seller shall notify the Agent if a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan was not originated and has been removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans.

2.04 Limitation on Types of Transactions; Illegality. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR Rate:

(a) the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining Price Differential for Transactions as provided herein; or

(b) the Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the relevant rate referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the Price Differential for Transactions is to be determined is not likely adequately to cover the cost to the Buyer of entering into or maintaining Transactions; or

then the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) shall give the Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Buyer shall not be under any obligation to enter into any additional Transactions and either (i) the Seller shall pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding or (ii) continue the current Transactions and any additional Transactions at another per annum rate approximating the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Buyer in connection with determining the Price Differential.

2.05 Payment of Repurchase Price, Price Differential.

(a) The Seller hereby promises to pay in full on the Termination Date the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding. In addition, the Seller shall repurchase the related Purchased Loans from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date. Each obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Loan. The Seller is obligated to obtain the related Purchased Loans from the Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Seller’s expense on (or after) the related Repurchase Date. Provided that the applicable conditions in Section 5 have been satisfied and provided further no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless the Agent is notified to the contrary not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to any such Repurchase Date, on each related Repurchase Date each Purchased Loan shall automatically become subject to a new Transaction. In such event, the related Repurchase Date on which such Transaction becomes subject to a new Transaction shall become the “Purchase Date” for such Transaction. Seller shall deliver a written Transaction Request to Agent requesting that the Purchased Loans become subject to such new Transaction prior to such Purchase Date. For each new Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Pricing Side Letter. The term of any Transaction shall not exceed one month.

(b) The Seller hereby promises to pay to the Buyer, Price Differential on the unpaid Repurchase Price of each Transaction for the period from and including the Purchase Date of such Transaction to but excluding the Termination Date of such Transaction, at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate; provided, that in no event shall such rate per annum exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby promises to

pay to the Buyer, interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any Repurchase Price and on any other amount payable by the Seller hereunder that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise) for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Accrued Price Differential on each Transaction shall be payable monthly on the Repurchase Date each month and for the last month of the Repurchase Agreement on the Repurchase Date of such last month and on the Termination Date; provided, that the Buyer may, in its sole discretion, require accrued Price Differential to be paid simultaneously with any prepayment of Repurchase Price that is made by the Seller on a day other than the Termination Date. Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall accrue daily and shall be payable upon such accrual. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) shall give notice thereof to the Seller.

(c) It is understood and agreed that, unless and until a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller shall be entitled to the proceeds of the Purchased Loans subject to Transactions outstanding hereunder subject to the terms and provisions of this Repurchase Agreement. If directed by Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, at any time after a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller shall enter into a Blocked Account Agreement and thereafter deposit all Income or other proceeds received with respect to each Purchased Loan after the related Purchase Date into the Blocked Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Seller may withdraw amounts from the Blocked Account on each Repurchase Date so long as all amounts then due and payable to Buyer have been paid in full.

(d) With respect to each Purchased Loan subject to a Takeout Commitment, the Seller shall instruct the related Takeout Investor to remit directly to the Buyer no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day all Takeout Proceeds in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan. Simultaneously, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer via facsimile or electronic mail a purchase advice (the “Purchase Advice”) and shall indicate on such Purchase Advice the Mortgage Loan identification number which identified the applicable Eligible Mortgage Loan when it was purchased by the Buyer hereunder. A portion of the Takeout Proceeds in an amount equal to the Recognized Value of such Purchased Loan shall be applied to the Repurchase Price of the outstanding Transactions. Upon receipt by the Buyer of payment of the Repurchase Price in respect of such Purchased Loan, the Buyer shall release and remit to the Seller the amount of any Takeout Proceeds in excess of the Recognized Value of such Purchased Loans (the “Remittance Amount”); provided, that, both immediately before and after giving effect to such release and remittance, (i) there is no Default or Event of Default under this Repurchase Agreement or any other Repurchase Document and (ii) there is no Margin Deficiency. To the extent that a Margin Deficiency exists or would be created by the release of the Remittance Amount or a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain the Remittance Amount, and the Seller thereupon shall have no further rights, title, or interest in and to such Remittance Amount. In the event that the Purchase Advice indicates that some of the proceeds forwarded to the Buyer do not belong to the Buyer or the Seller (such amount, the “Excess Proceeds”), then (i) the Seller shall provide the Buyer with a Takeout Proceeds Identification Letter, and (ii) upon confirmation by the Buyer that the information set forth in the Purchase Advice matches the information that the Buyer has in its

possession with respect to the Purchased Loans, the Buyer shall promptly remit by wire transfer the Excess Proceeds in accordance with the Seller’s instructions. If funds are received before 3:00 p.m., New York City time on a Business Day, but either (A) no Purchase Advice is received or (B) such funds are not properly identified on the related Purchase Advice (a “Purchase Advice Deficiency”), then such funds shall be retained by the Buyer, and the Transactions made in respect of the related Purchased Loans shall continue to accrue Price Differential under this Repurchase Agreement, until such Purchase Advice Deficiency is remedied, and the Mortgage Loan subject to such Purchase Advice shall not be released until such Purchase Advice Deficiency is remedied. In no event shall such Purchase Advice be back-dated to the date of its issuance. The Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller or any other Person to the extent that the Buyer follows instructions given to it by the Seller in a Takeout Proceeds Identification Letter.

2.06 Margin Maintenance.

(a) If at any time the aggregate Purchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding hereunder exceeds the aggregate Recognized Value of all Purchased Loans subject to such Transactions (a “Margin Deficiency”), and such Margin Deficiency is greater than the Margin Threshold, as determined in good faith by the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) and notified to the Seller on any Business Day, the Seller shall no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, either make a payment to the Buyer, in respect of the aggregate Purchase Price or transfer to the Buyer additional Eligible Mortgage Loans that are in all respects acceptable to the Buyer in good faith (which additional Eligible Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to be Purchased Loans under the Repurchase Documents) such that after giving effect to such payment or transfer no Margin Deficiency shall then exist.

(b) If at any time the aggregate Purchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding hereunder exceeds the Maximum Amount then in effect, the Seller shall at such time make a payment to the Buyer, in respect of the aggregate Repurchase Price such that, after giving effect to such payment, the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding hereunder shall not exceed the Maximum Amount then in effect.

Section 3. Payments, Computations, Requirements of Law, Etc.

3.01 Payments.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of Repurchase Price, including Price Differential, and other amounts to be paid by the Seller under this Repurchase Agreement, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent, at the following account maintained by the Agent: Account No. 30463591, Citibank, N.A., ABA No. 021-000-089, Attn: Whole Loans, Ref: loanDepot.com, LLC, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). The Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

(b) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, if the due date of any payment under this Repurchase Agreement would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and Price Differential shall accrue with respect to the amount of any Purchase Price so extended for the period of such extension.

3.02 Computations. Price Differential on the Transactions shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.

3.03 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the introduction or adoption of or any change (other than any change by way of the imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the LIBOR Rate Reserve Percentage) in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the 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 the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Repurchase Agreement or any Transaction entered into by it (excluding taxes on the Buyer’s or the Agent’s, as applicable, net income or franchise taxes) or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Buyer or Agent, as applicable, in respect thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable to any Transaction any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans, Transactions or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder;

(iii) shall impose on the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be), by an amount which the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) deem to be material, of making, participating in, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Seller shall promptly pay the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law applicable to the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be)(other than with respect to any amendment made to the Buyer’s or the Agent’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 the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) or any corporation controlling the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) 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 the Buyer’s or the Agent’s, as applicable, or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its actions hereunder to a level below that which the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Buyer’s or the Agent’s, as applicable, or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) to be material, then from time to time, the Seller shall promptly pay to the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) for such reduction.

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

(a) Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall hold the Mortgage Loan Documents as exclusive bailee and agent for the benefit of the Buyer pursuant to terms of the Custodial Agreement and shall deliver to the Buyer a Master Trust Receipt to the effect that it has reviewed such Mortgage Loan Documents in the manner and to the extent required by the Custodial Agreement and identifying any deficiencies in such Mortgage Loan Documents as so reviewed.

(b) All of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Items”;

(i) all Purchased Loans (including, without limitation, the related Servicing Rights). For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Seller that the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Buyer in any Purchased Loan shall not be released or otherwise affected due to the fact that any Purchased Loan is not an Eligible Mortgage Loan or that the Recognized Value thereof is zero dollars or is reduced, including if it is reduced to zero dollars, at any time;

(ii) all Mortgage Loan Documents, including without limitation all promissory notes, and all Servicing Records, Servicing Agreements and any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Purchased Loans, together with all files, documents, instruments, surveys, certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer programs, computer storage media, accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, including electronic records;

(iii) all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Servicing Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File, all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File;

(iv) all mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Purchased Loan and all claims and payments thereunder;

(v) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Loan or the related Mortgaged Property;

(vi) all purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts (and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto) or any related Takeout Commitments now existing or hereafter arising, covering any part of the foregoing Purchased Items, all rights to deliver such Mortgage Loans to Takeout Investors or to permanent investors and other purchasers pursuant thereto and all proceeds resulting from the disposition of such Purchased Items pursuant thereto, including the Seller’s right and entitlement to receive the entire Takeout Price specified in each Takeout Commitment;

(vii) any Interest Rate Protection Agreements, relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing;

(viii) any Blocked Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in such Blocked Accounts;

(xi) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

(c) The Seller and the Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to the Buyer of the Purchased Items (including, without limitation, the related Servicing Rights) and not loans from the Buyer to the Seller secured by the Purchased Items. However, in order to preserve the Buyer’s rights under this Repurchase Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as

loans, and as security for the performance by the Seller of all of the Seller’s obligations to the Buyer under the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, the Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Items to the Buyer, to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions and all other amounts owing to the Buyer hereunder and under the other Repurchase Documents (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder. The Seller agrees to mark its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to the Buyer hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Seller that the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Buyer in any Purchased Loan shall not be released or otherwise affected due to the fact that any Purchased Loan is not an Eligible Mortgage Loan or that the Recognized Value thereof is zero dollars or is reduced, including if it is reduced to zero dollars, at any time.

4.02 Further Documentation. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer), and at the sole expense of the Seller, the Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Repurchase Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens created hereby.

carrying out the terms of this Repurchase Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Repurchase Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller hereby gives the Buyer the power and right, on behalf of the Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, the Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

The Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. This power of attorney shall not revoke any prior powers of attorney granted by the Seller.

(b) The Seller also authorizes the Buyer, at any time and from time to time, (i) to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items and (ii) to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements with or without the signature of the Seller as authorized by applicable law, as applicable to all or any part of the Purchased Items.

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

4.05 Performance by The Buyer of The Seller’s Repurchase Obligations. If the Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Repurchase Documents and the Buyer itself performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance, with such agreement, the out-of-pocket expenses of the Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by the Seller to the Buyer upon five (5) days’ notice that such amounts are due and payable, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, in which case such amounts shall be due and payable on demand and, in either case, shall constitute Repurchase Obligations.

4.06 Proceeds. If a Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all Income and other proceeds of Purchased Items received by the Seller consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by the Seller in trust for the Buyer, segregated from other funds of the Seller, and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Seller be turned over to the Buyer in the exact form received by the Seller (duly endorsed by the Seller to the Buyer, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by the Buyer (whether from the Seller or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Buyer, be held by the Buyer as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Buyer against, the Repurchase Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as the Buyer shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Repurchase Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Repurchase Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to the Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Purchased Items.

4.07 Remedies. If a Default shall occur and be continuing, the Buyer may, at its option, enter into one or more interest rate protection agreements or other hedging arrangements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Loans purchased by the Buyer hereunder, and the Seller shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Buyer relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements, including without limitation any net losses (after giving effect to any gain in the sale of the related Mortgage Loans) resulting from such Interest Rate Protection Agreements. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Buyer may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Repurchase Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Repurchase Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the

Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Seller or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Purchased Items, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Purchased Items or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Buyer or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Buyer shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Purchased Items so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.

(c) Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements, covenants and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 4.12 shall survive the termination of this Repurchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 4.12 shall require the Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary or to incur additional costs or regulatory burdens that the Buyer considers in its good faith reasonable judgment to be material.

(d) Each party to this Repurchase Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of the Seller that is secured by the Purchased Loans and that the Purchased Loans are owned by the Seller in the absence of an Event of Default or any event under Section 13.21 of this Repurchase Agreement which the Buyer determines to be inconsistent with such treatment.

13.05 Waiver of Redemption and Deficiency Rights. The Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Items as a result of restrictions upon the Buyer, the Agent or Custodian contained in the Repurchase Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that it may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Items shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.

(d) If the Servicer of the Purchased Loans is the Seller or the Servicer is an Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer a letter from the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Buyer may terminate any Servicing Agreement and in any event transfer servicing to the Buyer’s designee, at no cost or expense to the Buyer, it being agreed that the Seller will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of the Buyer.

(b) It is understood that the Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Items delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Repurchase Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 9 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of Title 11 of the USC.

Schedule 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS

Part I. Eligible Mortgage Loans

As to each Mortgage Loan that is a Purchased Loan subject to any Transaction outstanding on a Purchase Date (and the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Assignment of Mortgage and Mortgaged Property), the Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to the Buyer as of such date and at all times a Purchased Loan is subject to a Transaction. With respect to any representations and warranties made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, in the event that it is discovered that the circumstances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan are not accurately reflected in such representation and warranty notwithstanding that such representation and warranty is made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, such Mortgage Loan shall be assigned a Recognized Value of zero. Certain defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined in the Repurchase Agreement appear in Part II to this Schedule 1:

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

(b) 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—it being understood that a payment is not required to be made until after the expiration of any applicable grace period. 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, in each case it being understood that payment is delinquent after the expiration of any applicable grace period. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Mortgage Loan, and all taxes, governmental 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 the Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which the 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 month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.

Schedule 1-1

(d) 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 the 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 insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required, and, with respect to the FHA, RHS and VA Loans, has been approved by the FHA, to the extent required by the FHA Insurance Contract, the RHS to the extent required of the Rural Housing Service Guaranty or the VA, to the extent of the VA Guaranty Agreement, 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 insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy and with respect to any FHA Loan, the FHA to the extent required by the FHA Insurance Contract or FHA Regulations, or with respect to any VA Loan, the VA to the extent of the VA Guaranty Agreement, or with respect to any RHS Loan, the RHS to the extent of the Rural Housing Service Guaranty, 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.

(e) 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. The 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.

(f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by the Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the applicable Agency Guide, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the applicable Agency 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 the 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 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by the 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

Schedule 1-2

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. The 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 the Seller.

(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, laws with respect to unfair and deceptive lending practices and Predatory Lending Practices 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 the Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of the Buyer, and shall deliver to the Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(h) 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. The 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 the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a dwelling which is acceptable to the related Agency pursuant to the applicable Agency Guide. No residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes.

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

(1) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

Schedule 1-3

(2) 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 to any applicable Agency, and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the applicable Agency, and 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

(3) 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, and which will not in any way prevent realization of the full benefits of any FHA Insurance Contract, VA Guaranty Agreement or Rural Housing Service Guaranty.

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 the Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to the 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.

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. 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. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan (unless it is an FHA §203(k) Loan) has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all 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.

Schedule 1-4

(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Mortgage Loan to the 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 assign, transfer and pledge each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement and following the pledge of each Mortgage Loan, the Buyer will hold 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 Repurchase Agreement.

(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as Mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located and all applicable Agency Guides, 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.

(o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than the percentage permitted by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, FHA or VA, as applicable. Each Mortgage Loan which is required to be subject to a Primary Insurance Policy pursuant to the Agency Guide of the applicable Agency is and will be subject to such a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as required by such Agency. All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium. No Mortgage Loan is subject to a lender-paid primary mortgage insurance policy.

(p) Title Insurance. Other than each Cooperative Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is 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, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, as applicable, and with respect to FHA Loans, RHS Loans and VA Loans, the FHA, RHS or VA, as the case may be, and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as applicable, and with respect to FHA Loans, RHS Loans and VA Loans, the FHA, RHS or the VA, as the case may be, and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this Part I of 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

Schedule 1-5

providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Note 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. The 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 Repurchase Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the 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 the Seller.

(q) No Defaults. Other than Mortgage Loans which are no more than thirty (30) days past due, 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 the Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

(r) 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.

(s) 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.

(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a Mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note Interest Rate is adjusted, with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, 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 Note Interest Rate Cap. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month. Other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-

Schedule 1-6

only Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Note Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty (30) years from commencement of amortization. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed ten (10) years (or such other period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The term of any Mortgage Loan shall not exceed thirty (30) years.

(u) 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.

(v) Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines and Agency Standards. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines and all provisions of the applicable Agency Guide. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae, as applicable, and the Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used.

(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit. As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit is lawfully 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. The Seller has not received written notification from any Governmental Authority that the Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit 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. The Seller has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate.

(x) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above.

Schedule 1-7

(y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Custodian or the Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

(z) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan (other than Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans) have been delivered to the Custodian. The Seller or its agent is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance with the Custodial Agreement, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian.

(aa) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located with respect to each Cooperative Mortgage Loan, the UCC-3 assignment is in a form suitable for filing in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

(bb) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit, as applicable, is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee thereunder.

(cc) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

(dd) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Purchase Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Mortgage Loan, The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the Mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.

(ee) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property or Cooperative Unit as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings.

Schedule 1-8

(ff) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination and collection practices used by the originator, each servicer of the Mortgage Loan and the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and each FHA Loan, RHS Loan and VA Loan has been serviced in accordance with all FHA, RHS and VA policies and regulations, as applicable. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and, where required under the applicable Underwriting Guidelines or requested by the related Mortgagor, (for Mortgage Loans other than Cooperative Mortgage Loans) has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Note Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited. The Mortgage Loan was originated and has been serviced in a manner such that the Mortgage Loan will be eligible for the maximum amount of insurance made available by the FHA, RHS or VA, as the case may be, without any right of offset, counterclaim or defense by the FHA, the RHS or VA, as the case may be.

(gg) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan is not convertible to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Loan.

(hh) Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by the Seller or by any officer, director, or employee of the Seller or any designee of the Seller or any corporation in which the Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance.

(mm) No Defense to Insurance Coverage.

Schedule 1-11

(zz) Compliance with Subprime Statement. No Purchased Loan that is an adjustable rate Mortgage Loan and that has a residential loan application date on or after September 13, 2007, is subject to the Interagency Statement on Subprime Mortgage Lending, 72 FR 37569 (July 10, 2007) as defined by Fannie Mae in the Lender Letter 03-07 (August 15, 2007) or by Freddie Mac in Freddie Mac Single Family Advisory (September 7, 2007) and Freddie Mac Bulletin 2007-4);

(aaa) MERS Loans. With respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, a Mortgage Identification Number has been assigned by MERS and such Mortgage Identification Number is accurately provided on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The related Assignment of Mortgage to MERS has been duly and properly recorded. With respect to each MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, the Seller has not received any notice of liens or legal actions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and no such notices have been electronically posted by MERS;

(bbb) Cooperative Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Cooperative Mortgage Loan, the Seller represents and warrants:

(1) the Cooperative Mortgage Loan is secured by a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Cooperative Shares issued to the related Mortgagor with respect to such Cooperative Mortgage Loan. The lien of the Security Agreement is subject only to the Cooperative Corporation’s lien against such corporation stock, shares or membership certificate for unpaid assessments of the Cooperative Corporation to the extent required by applicable law. Any Security Agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Cooperative Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Buyer. The Cooperative Unit was not, as of the date of origination of the Cooperative 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 Security Agreement.

(2) (i) the term of the related Proprietary Lease is longer than the term of the Cooperative Mortgage Loan, (ii) there is no provision in any Proprietary Lease which requires the Mortgagor to offer for sale the Cooperative Shares owned by such Mortgagor first to the Cooperative, (iii) there is no prohibition in any Proprietary Lease against pledging the Cooperative Shares or assigning the Proprietary Lease and (iv) the Recognition Agreement is on a form of agreement published by the Aztech Document Systems, Inc. or includes provisions which are no less favorable to the lender than those contained in such agreement.

(3) There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the building owned by the applicable Cooperative Corporation (the “Underlying Mortgaged Property”). The Underlying Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property as security for the mortgage loan on such Underlying Mortgaged Property (the “Cooperative Mortgage”) or the use for which the premises were intended.

Schedule 1-12

(4) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Cooperative Mortgage or the mortgage note related thereto and no event 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.

(5) The Cooperative Corporation has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. The Cooperative Corporation has requisite power and authority to (i) own its properties, and (ii) transact the business in which it is now engaged. The Cooperative Corporation possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which is now engaged.

(6) The Cooperative Corporation complies in all material respects with all applicable legal requirements. The Cooperative Corporation is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any governmental authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of the Cooperative Corporation.

(7) The Seller has delivered to the Buyer or its designee each of the following documents (collectively, the “Cooperative Loan Documents”): (i) the Cooperative Mortgage Note, duly endorsed in accordance with the endorsement requirements for Mortgage Notes set forth in this Repurchase Agreement, (ii) the Security Agreement, (iii) the Cooperative Shares accompanied by a stock power which authorizes the Buyer to transfer the Cooperative Shares in the event of a default under the Cooperative Loan Documents, (iv) the Proprietary Lease or occupancy agreement, accompanied by an assignment in blank of such Proprietary Lease, (v) a recognition agreement executed by the Cooperative Corporation, which requires the Cooperative Corporation to recognize the rights of the lender and its successors in interest and assigns, under the Cooperative Mortgage Loan, accompanied by an assignment of such recognition agreement in blank, (vi) UCC-1 financing statements with recording information thereon from the appropriate state and county recording offices if necessary to perfect the security interest of the Cooperative Mortgage Loan under the Uniform Commercial Code in the state in which the Cooperative Project is located, accompanied by UCC-3 financing statements executed in blank for recordation of the change in the secured party thereunder, and (vii) any guarantees, if applicable. The Cooperative Loan Documents are assignable to the Buyer and its successors and assigns and have been duly assigned to the Buyer in accordance with this sub-section (7).

(8) The Security Agreement contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Cooperative Shares of the benefits of the security provided thereby.

Schedule 1-13

(9) As of the date of origination the related Cooperative Project is insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Cooperative Project is located.

(ccc) FHA/VA/ RHS Loans. With respect to each FHA Loan, VA Loan, and RHS Loan the Seller represents and warrants:

(1) All parties which have had any interest in an FHA Loan, RHS Loan or a VA Loan, whether as mortgagee or assignee, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) an FHA Approved Mortgagee, Rural Housing Service Approved Lender or VA Approved Lender;

(2) The Mortgage is either guaranteed by the VA or the RHS to the maximum extent permitted by law or is fully insured by the FHA and all necessary steps have been taken to make and keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable and the applicable insurance or guaranty agreement is the binding, valid and enforceable obligation of the FHA, RHS or VA, as the case may be, to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense;

(3) In the case of an FHA Loan, no claim for insurance benefits, full or partial, has been filed with respect to such Mortgage Loan and, in the case of a VA Loan or RHS Loan, no claim for guarantee has been filed;

(4) No Mortgage Loan is (a) an active subsidy loan originated under the 203K program (24 C.F.R. 203.50), a Section 235 subsidy loan (24 C.F.R. 235), or a graduated loan under Section 245 (24 C.F.R. 203.45 and 24 C.F.R. 203.436), (b) an advance claim loan, or (c) a VA vendee loan;

(5) Neither the Seller, its servicer, nor any prior holder or servicer of the Mortgage Loan has engaged in any action or inaction which would result in the curtailment of a payment (or nonpayment thereof) by the FHA, RHS or the VA; and

(6) All actions required to be taken by the Seller or the related Qualified Originator (if different from the Seller) to cause the Buyer, as owner of the FHA Loan, VA Loan or RHS Loan, to be eligible for the full benefits available under the applicable insurance or guaranty agreement have been taken by such entity.

Schedule 1-14

(ddd) Closing Protection Letter. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, Seller has obtained an ALTA closing protection letter which provides indemnification for the Buyer for losses arising from the related Closing Agent’s fraud, theft, dishonesty, negligence or failure to follow written closing instructions, in form and substance acceptable to the Buyer. If such closing protection letter is not addressed to Buyer, such closing protection letter shall provide that the Buyer and any assignee of Buyer are protected by such letter as if it were addressed directly to them.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER

(date)

Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A.

1585 Broadway

New York, New York 10036

Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as counsel to [ ], a [ ] corporation (the “Seller”), with respect to certain matters in connection with that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated September 2, 2015 (the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and among the Seller, Morgan Stanley Capital Holdings LLC (the “Agent”) and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (the “Buyer”), a Custodial Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2015, (the “Custodial Agreement”), by and among the Seller, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the “Custodian”), the Agent and the Buyer. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Repurchase Agreement.

[We] [I] have examined the following documents:

1. the Repurchase Agreement;

2. Custodial Agreement;

3. the Electronic Tracking Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2015, by and among the Seller, the Buyer, Merscorp Holdings, Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (the “Electronic Tracking Agreement”);

4. an unfiled copy of the financing statement listed on Schedule 1 (the “Financing Statement”) naming the Seller as Debtor and the Buyer as Secured Party and describing the Purchased Items (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement) as to which security interests may be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of [ ] (the “Filing Collateral”), which [we][I] understand will be filed in the office of [ ] (the “Filing Office”);

5. the reports listed on Schedule 2 as to UCC financing statements (collectively, the “UCC Search Report”);

6. such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

B-1

To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Repurchase Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to [us][me] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to [us][me] as originals.

Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that:

1. The Seller is a [[ ] corporation] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of [state] and is qualified to transact business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of the [state].

2. The Seller has the [corporate] power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the Electronic Tracking Agreement] and all requisite [corporate] power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the Electronic Tracking Agreement] and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments. The Seller has all requisite [corporate] power to borrow under the Repurchase Agreement and to grant a security interest in the Purchased Items under the Repurchase Agreement.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the Electronic Tracking Agreement] and the Transactions by the Seller and the selling of the Purchased Items under the Repurchase Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary [corporate] action on the part of the Seller. Each of the Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the Electronic Tracking Agreement] have been executed and delivered by the Seller and are legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against the Seller, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Items.

4. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or regulatory body is required on the part of the Seller for the execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of the Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the Electronic Tracking Agreement] or for the Transactions entered into by the Seller under the Repurchase Agreement or the granting of a security interest to the Buyer in the Purchased Items, under the Repurchase Agreement.

5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement [and the Electronic Tracking Agreement] do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the Seller’s charter or by-laws, (b) violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitral award applicable to the Seller of which I have knowledge (after due inquiry) or (d) result in a breach of, constitute a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any agreement

B-2

or instrument of which [we][I] have knowledge (after due inquiry) to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any Property of the Seller pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

6. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge (after due inquiry), threatened against the Seller which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in the properties, business or financial condition, or prospects of the Seller or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Seller or which would draw into question the validity of the Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement[, the Electronic Tracking Agreement] or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be reasonably likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement[, the Electronic Tracking Agreement] or the Mortgage Loans.

7. The Repurchase Agreement is effective to create, in favor of the Buyer, a valid security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under the Purchased Items (and in any security interest, mortgage, or other lien that secures the Purchased Items) as collateral security for the payment of the Repurchase Obligations (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement), except that (a) such security interests will continue in Purchased Items after its sale, exchange or other disposition only to the extent provided in Section 9-315 of the Uniform Commercial Code, and (b) the security interests in Purchased Items in which the Seller acquires rights after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Seller may be limited by Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code.

8. When (i) the Mortgage Notes are delivered to the Custodian, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer of the Seller, and (ii) the Custodian has issued a Master Trust Receipt and Mortgage Loan Schedule therefor, the security interest referred to in paragraph 7 above in the Mortgage Notes (and in any security interest, mortgage, or other lien that secures the Mortgage Notes) will constitute a fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of the Seller therein, in the Mortgage Loan evidenced thereby and in the Seller’s interest in the related Mortgaged Property.

9. (a) Upon the filing of financing statement on Form UCC-1 naming the Buyer as “Secured Party” and the Seller as “Debtor”, and describing the Purchased Items, in the office of [ ], the security interest referred to in paragraph 7 above will constitute a fully perfected security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under such Purchased Items, which can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code.

(b) The UCC Search Report sets forth the proper filing offices and the proper debtors necessary to identify those Persons who have on file in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 1 financing statements covering the Filing Collateral as of the dates and times specified on Schedule 2. The UCC Search Report identifies no Person who has filed in any Filing Office a financing statement describing the Filing Collateral prior to the effective dates of the UCC Search Report.

B-3

10. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where each related Mortgaged Property is located.

11. The Seller is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

12. The Repurchase Agreement is a “repurchase agreement”, a “master netting agreement”, and a “securities contract” within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(47), 101 (38A) and 741(7), and the rights of Buyer contained in Section 13.25 thereof to setoff mutual debts and claims, and in Section 9 thereof to liquidate, terminate and accelerate the Repurchase Agreement, in the event of the bankruptcy of Seller will not be stayed, avoided, or otherwise limited by operation of any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or by order of a court or administrative agency in any proceeding thereunder, including without limitation the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code Section 362(a) pursuant to Sections 362(b)(6), (7) and (27) thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

[SERVICER] (the “Servicer”) is servicing certain mortgage loans for the Seller pursuant to certain Servicing Agreements between the Servicer and the Seller. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement among the Buyer, the Agent and the Seller, the Servicer is hereby notified that the Seller has granted a security interest to the Buyer in certain mortgage loans which are serviced by Servicer.

Upon receipt of a Notice of Event of Default from the Buyer in which the Buyer shall identify the mortgage loans which are then sold to the Buyer under the Repurchase Agreement (the “Purchased Loans”), the Servicer shall segregate all amounts collected on account of such Purchased Loans, hold them in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Buyer, and remit such collections in accordance with the Buyer’s written instructions. Following such Notice of Event of Default, the Servicer shall follow the instructions of the Buyer with respect to the Purchased Loans, and shall deliver to the Buyer any information with respect to the Pledged Mortgage Loans reasonably requested by the Buyer.

If the Servicer is the Seller or the Servicer is an Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer a letter from the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Buyer (or the Agent, on behalf of the Buyer), may terminate any Servicing Agreement and in any event transfer servicing to the Buyer’s designee, at no cost or expense to the Buyer, it being agreed that the Seller will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of the Buyer.

Notwithstanding any contrary information or direction which may be delivered to the Servicer by the Seller, the Servicer may conclusively rely on any information, direction or notice of an Event of Default delivered by the Buyer (or the Agent, on behalf of the Buyer), and the Seller shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against the Servicer for any actions taken in good faith by the Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information or Notice of Event of Default.
