3.THE TRANSACTIONS

(a)Transaction Requests. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Program Documents, Buyer shall, with respect to the Committed Amount, and may in its sole discretion, with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, from time to time, enter into Transactions with an aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets acquired by Buyer and subject to outstanding Transactions at any one time not to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions with an aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of up to the Committed Amount and shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount. Unless otherwise agreed to between Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) and Seller in writing, all purchases of Eligible Loans subject to outstanding Transactions at any one time shall be first deemed committed up to the Committed Amount and then the remainder, if any, shall be deemed uncommitted up the Uncommitted Amount. Buyer shall not have the right, however, to terminate any Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount after the Purchase Date until the related Repurchase Date. Unless otherwise agreed, with respect to any Loan other than a Wet-Ink Loan, Seller shall request that Buyer enter into a Transaction with respect to any Purchased Asset by delivering to the indicated required parties (each, a “Required Recipient”) the required delivery items (each, a “Required Delivery Item”) set forth in the table below by the corresponding required delivery time (the “Required Delivery Time”):

(c)Buyer Confirmation. Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) will confirm the terms of the requested Transaction, including the proposed Purchase Date, Purchase Price and Pricing Rate, by sending to Seller, in electronic or other format, a “Confirmation,” no later than 12:30 p.m. on the requested Purchase Date, which will be confirmed electronically (by email or otherwise) by Seller prior to Buyer entering into such Transaction. Any such Transaction Notice and the related Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the terms agreed to between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Transaction Notice and Confirmation, if any, relates. By entering into a Transaction with Buyer, Seller consents to the terms set forth in any related Confirmation.

(d)Custodian Responsibilities. Pursuant to the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement, the Custodian shall review the applicable documents in the applicable Mortgage Files delivered prior to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) by Seller on any Business Day on the same day. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on each Business Day, the Custodian shall deliver to Agent, via Electronic Transmission acceptable to Agent, the Custodial Loan Transmission showing the status of all Loans then held by the Custodian, including but not limited to an Exception Report showing all Loans which are subject to Exceptions, and the time the related Loan Documents have been released pursuant to Sections 5(a) or 7(a) of the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement. In addition, in accordance with the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement the Custodian shall deliver to Buyer upon the initial Transaction, a Trust Receipt with a Custodial Loan Transmission attached thereto. Each Custodial Loan Transmission subsequently delivered by the Custodian to Agent shall supersede and cancel the Custodial Loan Transmission previously delivered by the Custodian to Agent under the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement, and shall replace the Custodial Loan Transmission that is then appended to the Trust Receipt and shall control and be binding upon Buyer, Seller, and the Custodian. The Trust Receipt shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent of any conflict between this paragraph and the terms of the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement regarding the responsibilities of the Custodian and timing thereof (including with respect to the review of the Mortgage File relating to any eMortgage Loan), the terms of the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement shall control.

(e)Consummation of Purchases. Upon Seller’s request to enter into a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(a), Buyer shall, assuming all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3 and in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) have been met, and provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, not later than the

required time on the requested Purchase Date set forth in the table above (the “Required Purchase Time”) purchase the Eligible Loans included in the related Transaction Notice by transferring, via wire transfer (pursuant to wire transfer instructions provided by Seller on or prior to such Purchase Date) in immediately available funds, the Purchase Price. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price paid in connection with any Purchased Asset that is purchased in any Transaction includes a premium allocable to the portion of such Purchased Asset that constitutes the related Servicing Rights. The Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Purchased Assets under this Agreement, and such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement within the meaning of section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f)Wet-Ink Requirements. With respect to any request for a Wet-Ink Transaction, the provisions of this Section 3(f) shall be applicable (and shall supersede any provisions of general applicability otherwise set forth in this Section 3).

(i)Unless otherwise agreed, Seller shall request that Buyer enter into a Wet-Ink Transaction with respect to any Purchased Asset that is a Wet-Ink Loan by delivering to Agent a Transaction Notice, appropriately completed, and to Agent and Custodian a Loan Schedule by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Business Day of the requested Purchase Date.

(ii)On the requested Purchase Date for a Wet-Ink Transaction, Seller may deliver to Agent with a copy to Custodian, no more than five (5) transmissions. The latest transmission must be received by Agent no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on such Purchase Date. Such Transaction Notice shall specify the requested Purchase Date.

(iii)Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) and release to Custodian the Mortgage File pertaining to each such Wet-Ink Loan subject to the requested Transaction on or before the date that is fourteen (14) calendar days following the applicable Purchase Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement, on the applicable Purchase Date and on each Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date, no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, pursuant to the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement, Custodian shall deliver to Agent and Seller by email a schedule listing each Wet-Ink Loan subject to a Transaction with respect to which the complete Mortgage File has not been received by Custodian (the “Wet-Aged Report”). Agent may confirm that the information in the Wet-Aged Report is consistent with the information provided to Agent pursuant to Section 3(f)(iii).

(iv)Upon Seller’s request for a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(f)(iii), Buyer shall (with respect to the Committed Amount) and may (with respect to the Uncommitted Amount), upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3 and in Sections 9(a) and 9(b), and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, enter into a Transaction with Seller on the requested Purchase Date, in the amount so requested.

(v)Subject to this Section 3 and Sections 9(a) and 9(b), the Purchase Price will be made available by Custodian transferring at the direction of Buyer (or Agent on behalf of

Buyer), via wire transfer, the amount of such Purchase Price from the account of Buyer maintained with Custodian to the account of the designated Closing Agent pursuant to disbursement instructions provided by Seller on the electronic system maintained by Custodian; provided, however, that (i) Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) has been provided such disbursement instructions and shall not have rejected, in its reasonable discretion, any wiring location, (ii) Custodian shall not, in any event, (A) transfer funds to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than Amrock, Inc. or one of its Subsidiaries in its capacity as Closing Agent) or (B) transfer funds in excess of the original principal balance of the related Wet-Ink Loan. Upon notice from the Closing Agent to Seller that the related Wet-Ink Loan was not originated, the Wet-Ink Loan shall be removed from the list of Eligible Loans and the Closing Agent shall immediately return the funds via wire transfer to the account of Buyer maintained with Custodian. Seller shall notify Agent if a Wet-Ink Loan was not originated and has been removed from the list of Eligible Loans.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Program Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or a mutually agreed upon Early Opt-in Election, Agent shall promptly deliver a notice to Seller (the “Rate Change Notice”), whereupon Term SOFR from the date specified in such notice (which shall be no sooner than ninety (90) days following the date of such notice until such time as the notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, (“Benchmark Transition Start Date”), shall be a Benchmark Replacement, (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein), together with any proposed Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes as determined by Buyer in its commercially reasonable discretion prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. No replacement of Term SOFR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3(g) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. The Benchmark Replacement will be determined: (i) by Buyer with due consideration to the then prevailing market practice for determining a rate of interest for newly originated commercial loans in the United States and in a manner and format consistent with Agent’s established business practices relating to entities similar to Buyer and to purchased assets similar to the Loans, and may reflect appropriate mathematical or other adjustments to account for the transition from Term SOFR to the Benchmark Replacement (including any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes) and (ii) following consultation with Seller. In the event that Seller determines that either the Benchmark Replacement or the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are unacceptable, Seller shall provide notice of same to Buyer within seventy-five (75) days of receipt of the Rate Change Notice and Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, prior to the effective date specified in the Rate Change Notice, without the imposition of any form of penalty, breakage costs or exit fees. In the event that Seller elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, it shall pay the outstanding Obligations, including all unpaid fees and expenses due to Buyer and Agent, prior to the effective date specified in the Rate Change Notice. In the event that Seller does not (i) provide notice that either the Benchmark Replacement or the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are unacceptable within seventy-five (75) days of receipt of the Rate Change Notice, or (ii) pay the outstanding Obligations, including all unpaid fees and expenses due to Buyer, prior to the effective date specified in the Rate Change Notice, then the Benchmark Replacement or the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes shall become effective on the date specified in the Rate Change Notice.

(h)Upon Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Seller may revoke any request for a proposed Transaction to be entered into during any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(i)Obligation to Repurchase. Seller shall repurchase, and Buyer shall sell, Purchased Assets 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 Asset (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset). Upon receipt of the Repurchase Price in full therefor and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer is obligated to deliver (or cause its designee to deliver) physical possession of the Purchased Assets (or Control with respect to eMortgage Loans) to Seller or its designee on the related Repurchase Date. Upon such transfer of the Loans back to Seller, ownership of each Loan, including each document in the related Mortgage File and Records, is vested in Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such release and termination gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit, Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller shall thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 6(b), following which Buyer shall promptly perform its obligations as set forth above in this Section 3(i).

(j)Optional Repurchases. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have the right to repurchase any or all of the Purchased Assets at any time upon one (1) Business Days’ prior notice to Agent, without incurring breakage fees (any such date being deemed a Repurchase Date for the applicable Purchased Assets). Seller may, without cause and for any reason whatsoever, terminate this Agreement and effectuate a repurchase of all Purchased Assets then subject to Transactions at the related aggregate Repurchase Price (a “Seller Termination”); provided that Seller shall remit the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and satisfy all other outstanding Obligations within one (1) Business Day of such Repurchase Date. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence of a Seller Termination, Seller shall not be entitled to repayment or reimbursement of any fees, costs or expenses paid by Seller to Buyer or Agent under this Agreement or any other Program Document, unless otherwise expressly provided for under this Agreement.

(k)To the extent that the product of the Applicable Percentage and the lesser of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the outstanding principal amount of any Purchased Mortgage Loan is greater than the Outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller may request (an “Incremental Purchase Price Request”) that Buyer transfer an additional purchase price amount less than or equal to the positive difference between (i) the product of the Applicable Percentage and the lesser of (A) the Market Value or (B) the outstanding principal amount of such Purchased Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loan (each such additional purchase price amount, an “Incremental Purchase Price”). Each Incremental Purchase Price Request and Buyer’s transfer of the applicable Incremental Purchase Price shall constitute a Transaction under this Agreement and will be subject to all conditions precedent and other terms required to be satisfied prior to execution of each such Transaction under this Agreement.

4.PAYMENTS; COMPUTATION

(a)Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments to be made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Exhibit C hereto, not later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

(b)Prepayment: Seller may remit to Buyer funds up to the then Outstanding Purchase Price to be applied as of the date such funds are received by Buyer towards the aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of Purchased Assets subject to outstanding Transactions in such manner as designated by Seller. The Price Differential shall be applied, and shall accrue on the Purchase Price then outstanding, after such application of such funds as provided in the preceding sentence, subject to Section 4(c) below. Buyer shall credit the

entire amount of such prepayment to the Outstanding Purchase Price and not to any accrued Price Differential if such prepayment of Repurchase Price is made by Seller on a day other than the Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, upon any such prepayment and repurchase of Purchased Assets, the obligations of Seller under this Agreement with respect to such Purchased Assets shall be released and any lien, encumbrance or security interest of Buyer in the related Servicing Rights shall be released, subject only to obligations set forth in this Agreement which survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, further, that Seller shall not be subject to any fees or penalties in connection with such prepayment and repurchase (including but not limited to excess fees, non-usage fees, breakage fees, etc.).

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

(d)Price Differential Payment Amount. Seller hereby promises to pay to 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 Repurchase Date of such Transaction; provided, that in no event shall the Pricing Rate used to calculate the Price Differential exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. Accrued and unpaid Price Differential on each Transaction shall be payable monthly on the Price Differential Payment Date. On a calendar monthly basis and on the Termination Date, Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) shall determine the total accrued and unpaid Price Differential (the “Price Differential Payment Amount”) during the preceding calendar month for all Purchased Assets subject to all outstanding Transactions during such period (or with respect to the initial period, from the Effective Date through the end of the calendar month in which the Effective Date occurs, and with respect to the Termination Date, during the period from the date through which the last Price Differential Payment Amount calculation was made to the Termination Date). Four (4) Business Days prior to the Price Differential Payment Date, Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) shall provide written notice to Seller of the Price Differential Payment Amount and of its calculation of such Price Differential Payment Amount. All payments shall be made to Buyer in Dollars, in immediately available funds.

5.TAXES; TAX TREATMENT

(a)All payments made by Seller to Buyer or a Buyer assignee under this Agreement or under any Program Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable to Buyer or Buyer assignee (as determined in the good faith discretion of Seller), Seller shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the full amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with the requirements of the applicable law or regulation not later than the date when due; and (iii) deliver to Agent or Buyer’s assignee, promptly, the original or a certified copy of tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Agent of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes. And, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5) Buyer or Buyer’s assignee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer or any Buyer assignee, promptly on reasonable demand, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or

attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5) payable or paid by Buyer or such Buyer assignee or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer or such Buyer assignee and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer or such Buyer assignee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Buyer or Buyer assignee that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Program Document shall deliver to Seller and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer or Buyer assignee, if reasonably requested by Seller or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller or Agent as will enable Seller or Agent to determine whether or not Buyer or Buyer assignee is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. To the extent Buyer or Buyer assignee that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Seller or Agent on or about the date on which such Buyer or Buyer assignee becomes Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller or Agent), executed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that such Buyer or Buyer assignee is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. To the extent Buyer or Buyer assignee is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Buyer”), such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee shall provide Seller whichever of the following is applicable: (I) in the case of such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to a zero percent or reduced rate of U.S. federal income withholding tax on payments made hereunder, (II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (III) in the case of such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Seller described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, or (IV) to the extent Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable. Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee becomes Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. If a payment made to Buyer or Buyer assignee under any Program Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or Buyer assignee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer or Buyer assignee shall deliver to Seller or Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller or Agent as may be necessary for Seller and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Buyer or Buyer assignee has complied with such Buyer or Buyer assignee’s obligations

under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5(d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee agrees that upon learning that the information on any tax form or certification it previously delivered is inaccurate or incorrect in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5(e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f)Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer or a Buyer assignee, or Agent and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Document. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require Buyer or Agent to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems confidential or proprietary.

(g)Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

6.MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a)Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) determines the Market Value of the Purchased Assets at such intervals as determined by Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) in its good faith discretion consistent with its valuation practices for similar loans being sold by sellers similar to Seller; provided, however, that Seller may request that Buyer provide reasonable detail regarding its determination of Market Value, as well as to demonstrate that such Market Value has been determined in accordance with the definition thereof. Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) shall have the right, at any time, and at its own expense, to obtain an updated appraisal on any Loan or Loans.

(b)If at any time the aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets subject to outstanding Transactions is greater than the aggregate sum of the product of (i) the Applicable Percentage and (ii) the lesser of (A) the Market Value and (B) the outstanding principal amount for each Purchased Asset then

subject to a Transaction (such excess, a “Margin Deficit”), in an amount greater than [***], then subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) may, by notice to Seller (a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash or Substitute Assets approved by Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) in its sole discretion in an amount sufficient to cure such Margin Deficit. If Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer the required amount of cash or Substitute Assets to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the [***] Day. In the event Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) delivers a Margin Call to a Seller after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller will be required to transfer the required amount of cash or Substitute Assets no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that is [***] after Seller’s receipt of such Margin Call. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) shall not require Seller to satisfy a Margin Call and no Margin Call shall be required to be made unless the Margin Deficit shall equal or exceed [***], as determined by Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) in its reasonable, good faith discretion.

(c)Buyer’s (or Agent’s on behalf of Buyer) election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit will not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(d)Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 6(b) above will be applied to the repayment of the Repurchase Price of outstanding Transactions pursuant to Section 4(b) and any Substitute Assets will be deemed to be Purchased Assets.

7.INCOME PAYMENTS

8.SECURITY INTEREST; BUYER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(a)On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all rights and interests in the Purchased Items (as defined below) identified on the related Loan Schedule. Seller and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum characterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, and in any event, Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, until the related Purchased Assets are repurchased by Seller:

(i)all Purchased Assets, including all related cash and Substitute Assets provided pursuant to Section 6 and held by or under the control of Buyer, identified on a Transaction Notice or related Loan Schedule delivered by Seller to Agent and the Custodian from time to time;

(ii)any Agency Security or right to receive such Agency Security when issued in each case only to the extent specifically backed by any of the Purchased Assets;

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

(iv)any other collateral pledged to secure, or otherwise specifically relating to, such Purchased Assets, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, Loan accounting records and other books and records relating thereto;

(v)the related Records, the related Servicing Records, and the related Servicing Rights relating to such Purchased Assets;

(vi)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 related Mortgage File or Servicing File;

(vii)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 related Mortgage File or Servicing File;

(viii)all Income relating to such Purchased Assets;

(ix)all mortgage guaranties and insurance (including FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts, VA Loan Guaranty Agreements and any related Rural Housing Service Guarantees (if any)) and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Purchased Assets and all claims and payments thereunder and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing;

(x)all interests in real property collateralizing any Purchased Assets;

(xi)all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Assets or the related Mortgaged Property and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing;

(xii)any purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts or Takeout Commitments to the extent specifically related to Purchased Assets subject to a Transaction (including the rights to receive the related takeout price and the portion of the Security related to Purchased Assets subject to a Transaction as evidenced by such Takeout Commitments) to the extent relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing and all rights to receive copies of documentation relating thereto;

(xiii)all “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claims”, “deposit accounts”, “documents”, “equipment”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”, “letter of credit rights”, and “securities’ accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code and all cash and Cash Equivalents and all products and proceeds, all to the extent specifically relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing; and

(xiv)any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing (collectively the “Purchased Items”).

Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets, until the related Purchased Assets are repurchased by Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Servicing Rights as indicated hereinabove. In addition, Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, further grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to the Servicing Rights and the servicing of each of the Purchased Assets, and all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Security”). The Related Security is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder. The foregoing provisions are intended to constitute a security agreement, securities contract or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Purchased Items” described under clauses (ix), (xi) and (xii), above, shall not include and the security interest granted under this Section 8(a) shall not attach to any contract, agreement or other document if (but only if, and to the extent that) the grant of a security interest therein would constitute a violation or breach of any restriction, create a right of termination in favor of a third party or result in the invalidation of such contract, agreement or other document (each such potential violation, breach, termination right, and invalidation being referred to as an “Anti-Assignment Provision”) and prior to the related Purchase Date, Seller identifies such contract, agreement or other document as being subject to an Anti-Assignment Provision, provided that, with respect to any Anti-Assignment Provision, such exclusion from the Purchased Items shall only be effective so long as such Anti-Assignment Provision is not rendered unenforceable under Sections 9-401, 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest Seller may have in the Purchased Assets and any other collateral granted by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder.

(b)At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer), and at the sole expense of Seller, 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 Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this 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 Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) to file any such financing or continuation statement to the extent permitted by applicable law. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(c)Seller shall provide notice to Agent no later than thirty (30) Business Days after any of the following occurs: (i) any change its name or corporate structure (or the equivalent), or (ii) reincorporation or reorganization under the laws of another jurisdiction and deliver to Agent all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Agent shall request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by Agent to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority.

(d)Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items, carrying out the terms of this Agreement, taking any and all appropriate action and executing any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items, accomplishing the purposes of this Agreement, and filing such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Items as Agent at its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

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

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

(iii)(A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) shall direct, including, without limitation, to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of Seller and any applicable Servicer and Section 404 Notices; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Items; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Items; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Items or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Items; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Items; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Items as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s (or Agent’s on behalf of Buyer) option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Items

and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder.

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 18 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items.

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

(f)If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Documents and Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer or Agent 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 Seller to Buyer or Agent on demand and shall constitute Obligations.

(iv)Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and declare all obligations of Seller to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in accordance with Section 20 hereof.

(v)The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) may elect the time and manner of liquidating

any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

(vi)To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Buyer arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder after an Event of Default, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Purchased Items shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least two (2) Business Days before such sale or other disposition.

(b)Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller.

(c)Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records and all other files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request; provided that if such records and documents also relate to mortgage loans other than the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have a right to obtain copies of such records and documents, rather than originals.

(d)Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) determines appropriate and as is consistent with the Servicer’s obligations and applicable law.

(e)In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser or a secured party, as applicable, under the Uniform Commercial Code.

(f)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or by applicable law, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, with notice to Seller, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(g)Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law (and absent any willful misconduct or gross negligence of Buyer), any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets and any other Purchased Items 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.

(h)Seller shall cause all sums received by Seller after and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited with such Person as Buyer may direct after receipt thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any 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 to Buyer under this paragraph 18(h) is at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with hedging or covering transactions related to the Purchased Assets, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.

19.DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

No failure on the part of Buyer of Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer and Agent provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer or Agent to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies. An Event of Default will be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) in writing.

20.NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein and under the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including, without limitation, by Electronic Transmission or email) delivered to the intended recipient at the address of such Person set forth in this Section 20 below; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.

(a)it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Program Documents;

(b)Neither Buyer nor Agent has any fiduciary relationship to Seller; and

(c)no joint venture exists between Buyer and/or Agent and Seller.

35.HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ITEMS.

(a)Subject to the terms of this Section 35, Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all of the Purchased Items and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Items or otherwise selling, pledging, repledging, transferring, assigning, hypothecating, rehypothecating or otherwise conveying the Purchased Items. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no such pledge or other action under this Section 35 shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under the Program Documents, including, without limitation, Buyer’s obligation to transfer Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to the terms of the Program Documents, its obligation to return to Seller the exact Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Items and not substitutes therefor. As a condition to any action by Buyer under this Section 35, prior to an Event of Default, Buyer shall cause any third party pledgee or other counterparty to any other action under this Section 35 (a “Repledgee”) to agree to return such Purchased Assets to Seller and facilitate Buyer’s return of such Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to this Agreement) and to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to the Program Documents. As a condition to any action by Buyer under this Section 35, prior to an

Event of Default, Buyer shall (i) cause Repledgee to receive notice of Seller’s rights to the Purchased Items and agree to subordinate its rights to any Purchased Items to Seller’s rights under this Agreement against Buyer to such Purchased Items, (ii) not permit the obligations to any Repledgee secured by any Purchased Asset to exceed its Repurchased Price, and (iii) agree and cause the Repledgee to agree to allow Seller to direct payment of the Repurchase Price to the Repledgee and get a release of the related Purchased Items upon receipt of such payment. Nothing contained in this Agreement obligates Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets or Purchased Items delivered to Buyer by Seller.

36.ASSIGNMENTS.

(a)Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder only with the prior written consent of Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer). Buyer may from time to time, with the consent of Seller which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents to any party pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and the applicable assignee in form and substance acceptable to Buyer and Seller (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. On the effective date of any such assignment, (A) such assignee will be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and will succeed to the related rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (B) Buyer and Agent will, to the extent of such rights and obligations so assigned, be released from its obligations (but not its rights to the extent such rights are intended to survive any such assignment) hereunder and under the Program Documents.

(b)Buyer and Agent may furnish any information concerning Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of Buyer or Agent from time to time to assignees (including prospective assignees) only after notifying Seller in writing and securing signed confidentiality agreements (in a form mutually acceptable to Buyer or Agent and Seller) and only for the sole purpose of evaluating assignments and for no other purpose.

(c)Upon Seller’s consent to an assignment, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and Agent in connection with any such assignment, to execute and deliver replacement notes, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement and the other Program Documents in order to give effect to such assignment.

(d)Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer), solely for this purpose as Seller’s non-fiduciary agent, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record each assignment hereunder and each Assignment and Acceptance. The Register will include the name and address of Buyer (including all assignees and successors) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The entries in the Register will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement; provided however, that any failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. This Section 36(d) is intended to comprise a book entry system within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) that is the exclusive way for Buyer (or any of its assignees or successors) to transfer an interest under this Agreement and these provisions shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with and so as to effect such intent.

37.SINGLE AGREEMENT

Seller, Buyer and Agent acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder

constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, Seller, Buyer and Agent each agree (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder; (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any 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 Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted; and (iii) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application.

38.INTENT

(a)Seller and Buyer recognize that this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is a “repurchase agreement as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code, that the pledge of the Related Security in Section 8(a) hereof is intended to constitute a “security agreement,” “securities contract” or “other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code, and each Purchased Asset constitutes either a “mortgage loan” or “an interest in a mortgage” as such terms are used in the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Buyer recognize that Buyer shall be entitled to, without limitation, the liquidation, termination, acceleration and non-avoidability rights afforded to parties to “repurchase agreements” pursuant to, without limitation, Sections 559, 362(b)(7) and 546(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, “securities contracts” pursuant to, without limitation, Sections 555, 362(b)(6) and 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and “master netting agreements” pursuant to, without limitation, Sections 561, 362(b)(27) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption or assignment pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties recognize and intend that each Transaction is a “repurchase transaction” or “reverse repurchase transaction” of “mortgage loans” or “interests” in “mortgage loans” (as such terms are used in section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code). Seller and Buyer further agree that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, the characterization of any Transaction under this Agreement or this Agreement as a “repurchase agreement,” a “master netting agreement” and/or a “securities contract” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)It is understood that Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Items delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 18 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in, without limitation, Sections 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit is considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

(c)The parties hereby agree that all Servicing Agreements and any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the Purchased Assets shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and part of the “contract” as such term is used in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d)The parties further agree that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in the FDIA, and any rules, orders or policy statement thereunder.

(e)It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation,” respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA.

39.CONFIDENTIALITY

(a)To effectuate this Agreement, Buyer, Agent and Seller may disclose to each other certain confidential or proprietary information relating to the parties’ operations, computer systems, technical data, financial data, business methods, and other information designated by the disclosing party or its agent to be confidential, or that should be considered confidential in nature by a reasonable person given the nature of the information and the circumstances of its disclosure (collectively the “Confidential Information”).

(b)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer and Agent may share any Confidential Information of Seller with (i) a Representative of Buyer or Agent who Buyer or Agent determines should be made aware of the Confidential Information in connection with Buyer’s or Agent’s engagement by Seller; provided that, any such sharing of Confidential Information with a Representative of Buyer or Agent conforms to the requirements of Section 39(c) of this Agreement; (ii) any prospective or actual assignee, participant or repledgee to assist such Person in determining whether to enter into an assignment, participation or Repurchase Transaction in connection with the Principal Agreements; (iii) any hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any hedging in connection with the Transactions under the Principal Agreements; and (iv) any Person that provides or intends to provide liquidity to Buyer to further the Transactions set forth in the Principal Agreements (the Persons identified in clauses (ii)-(iv), the “Buyer Third-Party Recipients”); provided that, in the case of clauses (ii) through (iv), (A) such Person agrees to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions no less strict than those set forth in this Section 14.19 and (B) other than during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, with respect to Confidential Information consisting of (x) non-public financial information of Seller, including, without limitation, the contents of the financial reporting exhibits and schedules attached to this Agreement containing an MNPI legend affixed by Seller (as may be modified from time to time by Seller), (y) non-public personal information (as defined in Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999) of an obligor with respect to an Underlying Asset and (z) non-public, non-financial information pertaining to Seller that either (1) relates to developments or strategic initiatives, including but not limited to potential or actual acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic transactions, partnerships or initiatives; material or new product developments; material changes in management or organizational structure, material investigations or non-routine examinations from regulators and any other developments which materially affect Seller’ financial condition or prospects, or (2) is designated in writing by Seller as constituting material non-public information, in each case, such Confidential Information in clauses (x)-(z) (“Special Confidential Information”) shall not be shared with a Buyer Third-Party Recipient without the advance written consent of Seller (which may be provided by e-mail), which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld and shall, once given, extend to all such Special Confidential Information in relation to the applicable Buyer Third-Party Recipient to the extent that such additional material is provided solely for the purposes specified in clauses (ii) – (iv) above . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Seller’ limited consent to share Special Confidential Information with a Buyer Third-Party Recipient shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of: (i) the date that Buyer or Agent, as the case may be, abandons all further initiatives to consummate a transaction contemplated in clauses (ii) – (iv) above with such Buyer Third-Party Recipient, but in any event no later than one year after the date such limited consent was granted by Seller, (ii) the termination of any transaction or series of transactions that, pursuant to their terms, require Buyer and Agent to forward such Special Confidential Information to such Buyer Third-Party Recipient or (iii) the termination of the Principal Agreements (each of the events described in clauses (i) - (iii), a “Consent Termination Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Consent Termination Event, Buyer or Agent, as the case may be, shall (i) subject to applicable law, rule and regulation and Buyer’s or Agent’s, as the case may be, document retention policies and procedures, promptly return to Seller or destroy all copies of the Special Confidential Information in its

possession, and (ii) instruct recipients of such Special Confidential Information that their confidentiality obligations with respect to such Special Confidential Information survive the Consent Termination Event.

(c)In addition, the Principal Agreements and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder (other than the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions), are proprietary to Buyer and Agent and shall be held by Seller in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions; (ii) upon prior written notice to Buyer and Agent, disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body; (iii) upon prior written notice to Buyer and Agent, disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any hedging hereunder; (iv) any disclosures or filing required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws; or (v) the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions, which shall not be deemed confidential; provided that in the case of (ii), (iii) and (iv), Seller shall take reasonable actions to provide Buyer and Agent with prior written notice; provided further that in the case of (iv), Seller shall not file any of the Principal Agreements other than the Agreement with the SEC or state securities office unless Seller have (x) provided at least thirty (30) days (or such lesser time as may be demanded by the SEC or state securities office) prior written notice of such filing to Buyer and Agent, and (y) redacted all pricing information and other commercial terms.

(d)If any party or any of its Representatives breaches its respective duty of confidentiality under this Agreement, the non-breaching party(ies) shall be entitled to all remedies available at law and/or in equity, including, without limitation, injunctive relief. For the avoidance of doubt, each of Buyer, Agent and Seller shall be solely responsible for any breaches of confidentiality by any of its respective Representatives and in the case of Buyer, Buyer shall also be solely responsible for any breaches of confidentiality by Buyer Third-Party Recipients.

40.SERVICING

(a)Subject to subsection (d) below, Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Purchased Assets to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices and pursuant to the related underlying Servicing Agreement, if any. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) the termination thereof of Buyer pursuant to subsection (g) below, (ii) the date on which all the Obligations have been paid in full, or (iii) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) and the assumption thereof by such entity.

(b)During the period Seller is servicing the Purchased Assets for Buyer, (i) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Records relating to Purchased Assets that have not been repurchased, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Loans (the “Servicing Records”), and (ii) Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Assets that have not been repurchased and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section 40 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Seller covenants to hold such Servicing Records in trust for Buyer and to safeguard, or cause each Subservicer to safeguard, such Servicing Records and to deliver them, or cause any such Subservicer to deliver them to the extent permitted under the related Servicing Agreement promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s (or Agent’s on

behalf of Buyer) reasonable request. It is understood and agreed by the parties that prior to an Event of Default, Seller, as servicer shall retain the servicing fees with respect to the Purchased Assets.

(c)If any Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than Seller (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Purchased Asset is to be transferred to a Subservicer, Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement and an Instruction Letter executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer and Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Purchase Date or transfer date, as applicable, which Servicing Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Agent. In addition, Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) for such Subservicer to subservice the Loans, which consent may not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.

(d)After the Purchase Date, until the Repurchase Date, Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the Loan or consent to the modification or alteration of the terms of any Loan, except as required by law, Agency Guidelines, FHA Regulations, requirements for VA Loans, Rural Housing Service Regulations, Accepted Servicing Practices, any Program Documents or other requirements, and Seller will have no obligation or right to repossess any Loan or substitute another Loan, except as provided in any Custodial and Disbursement Agreement or any Program Document, including, without limitation, Section 16 of this Agreement.

(e)Seller shall permit Buyer and Agent to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time Seller’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer and Agent that Seller has the ability to service the Loans as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of Seller, Seller shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer and Agent to inspect the servicing facilities of such Subservicer.

(f)Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Assets; provided that Seller shall continue to service the Purchased Assets hereunder as part of its obligations hereunder. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Assets are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis.

(g)Servicer shall subservice such Purchased Assets on behalf of Buyer for a term commencing as of the related Purchase Date and which shall automatically terminate without notice on the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the related Purchase Date, or if longer, the term of the relevant Transaction, or the Repurchase Date set forth in the applicable Confirmation with respect to a Purchased Asset or (b) the Repurchase Date with respect to a Purchased Asset (such term, the “Servicing Term”). If the Servicing Term expires with respect to any Purchased Asset for any reason other than Seller repurchasing such Purchased Asset, then such Servicing Term shall automatically terminate if not renewed by Buyer; provided, that Buyer shall be deemed to have renewed such Servicing Term if Buyer enters into a new Transaction or extends the Transaction, in respect of such Purchased Asset. In connection with any such renewal, Servicer shall continue to interim service the Purchased Assets for a thirty (30) day extension period, an additional Servicing Term (an “Extension Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the Servicing Term (including the expiration of any Extension Period) with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall have no right to service the related Purchased Asset nor shall Buyer have any obligation to extend the Servicing Term (or continue to extend the Servicing Term). Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer at any time following the occurrence of any event described in Section 18 hereof (a “Servicer Termination Event”). If such Servicing Term is not extended by Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) or if Buyer (or Agent on behalf of Buyer) has terminated Servicer as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, Servicer shall transfer such servicing to Buyer or its designee at no cost or expense to Buyer or Agent. Servicer shall hold or cause to be held all Escrow Payments collected with respect to the Purchased Assets it is subservicing on behalf of Buyer in segregated accounts for the sole benefit of the

Mortgagors and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected. If Servicer should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, it has failed to perform fully its servicing obligations with respect to the Purchased Assets it is subservicing on behalf of Buyer, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer and Agent.

41.PERIODIC DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW

Seller acknowledges that Buyer and Agent has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets and Seller, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Program Document, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Days’) prior notice to Seller (provided that upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, no such prior notice shall be required), Buyer and Agent or their authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller and/or the Custodian. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer and Agent each agrees that it shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts, in the conduct of any such due diligence, to minimize any disruption to Seller’s normal course of business. Seller also shall make available to Buyer and Agent a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall purchase Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right, at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, ordering new broker’s price opinions, new credit reports, new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and Agent and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer, Agent and any third party underwriter with reasonable access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. In addition, Buyer and Agent each has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews of Purchased Assets for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Program Document, or otherwise. Seller, Buyer and Agent further agree that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer and Agent in connection with Buyer’s and Agent’s activities pursuant to this Section 41 shall be paid by Seller subject to the limitations of Section 22(b) of this Agreement and that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer and Agent shall be limited to one (1) on-site visit in any calendar year.

42.SET-OFF

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by this Agreement and by law, Buyer and Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller (except for such notice and right to cure as may be specifically provided hereunder in connection with certain Events of Default), any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and 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 or Agent to or for the credit or the account of Seller only to the extent specifically

relating to this Agreement, the other Program Documents or the Transactions described hereunder. Buyer and Agent may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or Agent to Seller, against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer or Agent, under this Agreement or under any other Program Documents, if such obligations of Seller are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or Agent’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer and Agent each agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer or Agent, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

43.ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES.

If any party executes this Agreement or any other related document via electronic signature, (i) such party's creation and maintenance of such party's electronic signature to this Agreement or related document and such party’s storage of its copy of the fully executed Agreement or related document will be in compliance with applicable eCommerce Laws to ensure admissibility of such electronic signature and related electronic records in a legal proceeding, (ii) such party has controls in place to ensure compliance with applicable eCommerce Laws, including, without limitation, §201 of E-SIGN and §16 of UETA, regarding such party’s electronic signature to the Agreement or related document and the records, including electronic records, retained by such party will be stored to prevent unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration of the electronic signature and associated records, and (iii) such party has controls and systems in place to provide necessary information, including, but not limited to, such party’s business practices and methods, for record keeping and audit trails, including audit trails regarding such party’s electronic signature to this Agreement or related documents and associated records.

(d)Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable to Buyer for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Program Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to Buyer for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Seller or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Program Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Program Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Program Document or for any failure of Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

As between Agent and Buyer, Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Program Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Buyer as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Buyer against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(f)Notices. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless Agent has received notice from Buyer or Seller referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Buyer. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Buyer; provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Buyer.

(g)Non Reliance by Buyer. Buyer expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Seller, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to Buyer. Buyer represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Seller and made its own decision to enter into Transactions and enter into this Agreement. Buyer also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Seller. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished by Seller to Agent hereunder or under the other Program Documents, which Agent must distribute promptly to Buyer, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide Buyer with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Seller which may come into the possession of Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

The agreements in this Section 45(h) shall survive the payment of the Repurchase Prices and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(i)Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) calendar days’ notice to Buyer and Seller. If Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, then Buyer shall appoint a successor Agent, which successor Agent shall be approved by Seller (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), and any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Purchased Loans. If no successor Agent has been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) calendar days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent, on behalf of Buyer, may appoint an Agent which shall (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) be approved by Seller, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Seller. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and

obligations, under this Agreement and the other Program Documents.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written.

For purposes of this Schedule 1 and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty will be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Loan. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as to each Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder, Seller hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Purchase Date and as of each date such Loan is subject to a Transaction:

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

(b)Payments Current. No payment required under the Loan is [***] or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Loan been [***] or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Loan.

(c)No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and, other than with respect to Second Lien Loans, 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 are not delinquent, or an escrow of funds (for Loans other than Cooperative Loans) 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 and delinquent. Seller has not 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 Loan (other than a Second Lien Loan), except for interest accruing from the date of the Note or date of disbursement of the Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest.

(d)Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the 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 or to such other Person as Buyer shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and, with respect to RHS Loans, has been approved by the RHS to the extent required by the Rural Housing Service Guaranty, and its terms are reflected on the Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and with respect to any RHS Loan, the RHS to the extent required by the Rural Housing Service Guaranty, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as Buyer shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule.

(e)No Defenses. The Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render

either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at, or subsequent to, the time the Loan was originated.

(f)Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property (other than Mortgaged Property subject to a Second Lien Loan) are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards as are provided for in the applicable Agency, FHA, VA, RHS or HUD guidelines, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Agency Guidelines or Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines. With respect to Mortgaged Property subject to a Second Lien Loan, on the origination date such Mortgaged Property was covered by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards as are provided for in the applicable Agency, FHA, VA, RHS or HUD guidelines, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Agency Guidelines or Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the related Mortgaged Property is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the applicable requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms to the applicable Agency, FHA, VA, RHS or HUD guidelines or Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines. All individual insurance policies (other than individual insurance policies relating to Second Lien Loans) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums due and owing thereon have been paid. The Mortgage (other than Mortgages related to Second Lien Loans) obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance policies at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the 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 such policy, including, without limitation, to Seller’s knowledge, 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 or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller, in any case, to the extent it would impair coverage under any such policy.

(g)Compliance with Applicable Law. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, anti-predatory lending laws, laws covering fair housing, fair credit reporting, community reinvestment, homeowners equity protection, equal credit opportunity, mortgage reform and disclosure laws or unfair and deceptive practices laws applicable to the origination and servicing of such Loan have been complied with in all material respects, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations. Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for Buyer’s inspection, evidence of compliance with all requirements set forth herein.

(h)No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded (except with respect to subordination of a Second Lien Loan to the first priority lien or security interest), 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 satisfaction, cancellation, subordination or rescission (except with respect to subordination of a Second Lien Loan to the first priority lien or security interest) other than in the case of a release of a portion of the land comprising a Mortgaged Property or a release of a blanket Mortgage which release will not cause the Loan to fail to satisfy the applicable Agency Guidelines. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(i)Valid Lien. Each Mortgage is a valid and subsisting First Lien (or with respect to a Second Lien Loan, a Second Lien) on a single parcel or multiple contiguous parcels of real estate included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing, subject in all cases to the exceptions to title set forth in the title insurance policy with respect to the related Loan, which exceptions are generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending companies, the exceptions set forth below and such other exceptions to which similar properties are commonly subject and which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage. The lien of the Mortgage is subject to:

(i)the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet delinquent.

(ii)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 the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;

(iii)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 prevent realization of the full benefits of any Rural Housing Service Guaranty; and

(iv)with respect to Second Lien Loans, the related first lien Mortgage.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and First Lien and first priority security interest (or with respect to a Second Lien Loan, Second Lien) on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer.

(j)Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Loan are genuine (or in the case of an eNote, the copy of the eNote transmitted to Custodian’s eVault is the Authoritative Copy), and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles. All parties to the Note, the Mortgage

and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Loan and to execute and deliver the Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other the applicable related parties. No fraud or error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a 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 or servicing of the Loan or in any mortgage or flood insurance, if applicable, in relation to such Loan.
