Unless otherwise agreed to between Buyer and the 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, the 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”):

In addition to the foregoing, with respect to each eNote the Seller shall cause (on or prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the requested Purchase Date), (i) the Authoritative Copy of the related eNote to be delivered to the eVault via a secure electronic file, (ii) the Controller status of the related eNote to be transferred to Buyer, (iii) the Location status of the related eNote to be transferred to Custodian, (iv) the Delegatee status of the related eNote to be transferred to Custodian, (v) the Master Servicer status of the related eNote to be transferred to Seller and (vi) the Subservicer status of the related eNote to be transferred to Seller, in each case using MERS eDelivery and the MERS eRegistry.

Each Transaction Notice shall include a Loan Schedule. Buyer will confirm the terms of such Transaction, including the proposed Purchase Date, Purchase Price and Pricing Rate, by sending to the 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 the Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Transaction Notice and Confirmation, if any, relates. By entering in to a Transaction with Buyer, the Seller consents to the terms set forth in any related Confirmation.

(a)Seller shall deliver to the Custodian, in accordance with the terms of the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement, the Mortgage File pertaining to each Eligible Loan to be sold to Buyer hereunder on the requested Purchase Date. In accordance with the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement the Custodian shall deliver to Buyer, a Trust Receipt with a Custodial Loan Transmission attached thereto. Any Custodial Loan Transmission subsequently delivered by the Custodian to Buyer shall supersede and cancel the Custodial Loan Transmission previously delivered by the Custodian to Buyer under the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement, and shall replace the Custodial Loan Transmission that is then appended to the Trust Receipt.

(b)Upon the 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 or Event of 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 the Seller on or prior to such Purchase Date) in immediately available funds, the Purchase Price.

lender as directed by Seller.

(c)With respect to any request for a Wet-Ink Transaction, the provisions of this Section 3(d) shall be applicable.

(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 Buyer a Transaction Notice, appropriately completed, and to Buyer 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 Buyer with a copy to Custodian, no more than five (5) transmissions; provided that following delivery of a Disbursement Agent Termination Notice (as defined in the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement), Seller may deliver more than five (5) transmissions.. The latest transmission must be received by Buyer 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 twelve (12) Business Days (or two (2) Business Days in the case of eMortgage Loans) 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 Buyer 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”). Buyer may confirm that the information in the Wet-Aged Report is consistent with the information provided to Buyer pursuant to Section 3(d)(i).

(iv)Upon Seller’s request for a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(d)(i), 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. In connection with entering into such Transaction, the Seller shall remit to the Operating Account the applicable Haircut Amount and Buyer or its designated agent shall send, or cause to be sent, the Purchase Price and Haircut Amount to the Closing Agent as directed by Seller.

(v)Subject to this Section 3 and Sections 9(a) and 9(b), such Purchase Price will then be made available by Disbursement Agent transferring at the direction of Buyer, via wire transfer, the amount of such Purchase Price from the Disbursement Account to the account of the designated Closing Agent pursuant to disbursement instructions provided by Seller on the electronic system

maintained by Disbursement Agent; provided, however, that (i) Buyer has been provided such disbursement instructions and shall not have rejected, in its reasonable discretion, any wiring location, (ii) Disbursement Agent shall not, in any event, (A) transfer funds to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than Title Source, 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 Disbursement Account. Seller shall notify Buyer if a Wet-Ink Loan was not originated and has been removed from the list of Eligible Loans.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Program Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Seller (the “Rate Change Notice”), whereupon the LIBOR Rate 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 the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3(e) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. The Benchmark Replacement will be determined 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 Buyer’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 the LIBOR Rate to the Benchmark Replacement (including any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes). 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, 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.

(e)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.

(f)The 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 shall notify the Seller of the amount thereof and the 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). 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 Day’s prior notice to Buyer, without incurring breakage fees.

(d)On any Repurchase Date, the 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 (i) exercise such termination rights in good faith, and (ii) remit the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and satisfy all other outstanding Obligations within one (1) Business Day of such Repurchase Date. The Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence of a Seller Termination, the Seller shall not be entitled to repayment or reimbursement of any fees, costs or expenses paid by the Seller to Buyer under this Agreement or any other Program Document, unless otherwise expressly provided for under this Agreement.

(e)If any Requirements of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) adopted after the date hereof or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Purchased Assets purchased pursuant to it (excluding net income taxes) or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller by delivering to Seller a notice with reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(j) as calculated by Buyer in a commercially reasonable manner (a “Yield Protection Notice”). Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Yield Protection Notice, advise Buyer of its intent to either terminate this Agreement (without the imposition of any form of penalty, breakage costs or exit fees (excluding all outstanding Obligations, including all unpaid fees and expenses)) or pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amounts receivable thereafter incurred (provided that Seller shall only be obligated to pay those amounts pursuant to this Section 3(j) to the extent incurred by the Buyer (i) within ninety (90) days prior to delivery of the Yield Protection Notice to Seller and (ii) on or after delivery of the Yield Protection Notice to Seller). In the event that Seller elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing and provided that no intervening Event of Default has occurred that would otherwise permit the acceleration of this Agreement, it shall pay the outstanding Obligations, including all unpaid fees and expenses due to Buyer, within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Yield Protection Notice; provided, that if Seller elects to terminate this Agreement, in no event shall Seller pay (i) any increased costs specified in the Yield Protection Notice or (ii) any increased costs accrued during the ninety (90) days prior to receipt of such Yield Protection Notice.

On a calendar monthly basis and on the Termination Date, 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).

For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee or participant has failed to provide the Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document as required by this Section 5(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee or participant shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 5(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee or participant, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee or participant shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Buyer assignee or participant to recover such Taxes.

(h)Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the 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 participant, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Document. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(i)Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal and relevant state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of the Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by the 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

(j)Buyer determines the Market Value of the Purchased Assets at such intervals as determined by Buyer in its reasonable good faith discretion consistent with its valuation practices for similar loans being sold by sellers similar to Seller; provided, however, that the Seller may request that the 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.

(k)If at any time the aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets subject to outstanding Transactions is greater than the product of (a) the Applicable Percentage and (b) the Market Value of all Purchased Assets (such excess, a “Margin Deficit”), then subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, Buyer may, by notice to Seller (a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash in an amount sufficient to cure such Margin Deficit. If 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 same Business Day of Seller’s receipt of such Margin Call.  In the event 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 no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date that is one (1) Business Day 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 shall not require the 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 in its reasonable, good faith discretion.

(l)Buyer’s 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.

(m)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).

7.INCOME PAYMENTS

(n)Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. The Seller shall (i) segregate all Income collected by or on behalf of the Seller on account of the Purchased Assets and shall hold such Income in trust for the benefit of Buyer that is clearly marked as such in the Seller’s records and (ii) upon an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, the Seller shall directly remit such Income to the Buyer; provided that any Income received by the Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by the Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date.

(o)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon receipt by Seller of any prepayment of principal in full with respect to a Purchased Asset, Seller shall (i) provide prompt written notice to Buyer of such prepayment, and (ii) remit such amount to Buyer and Buyer shall apply such amount received by Buyer plus accrued interest on such amount against the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset pursuant to Sections 4(b) and 6(d) but not on a pro rata basis.

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

(p)On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all rights and interests in the Purchased Assets identified on the related Loan Schedule. The 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 the 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 the Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, and in any event, the Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of the 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 the 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 the Seller to Buyer 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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)the Operating Account and all amounts deposited therein;

(xiv)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

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

The Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets, until the related Purchased Assets are repurchased by the Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, the 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, the 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 the 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 the 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.

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest the Seller may have in the Purchased Assets and any other collateral granted by the 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.

(q)At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense of the Seller, the Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as 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. The Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(r)Seller shall not (i) change its name or organizational structure (or the equivalent), or (ii) reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority.

(s)The 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 the Seller and in the name of the 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 Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of the Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, the Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i)in the name of the 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 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 shall direct, including, without limitation, to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of the 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 the 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 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 option and the Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which 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 the Seller might do.

The Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition to the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a power of attorney to be delivered on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder.

The 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 19 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items.

(t)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 the Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(u)If the 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 incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by the Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations.

(v)All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Purchased Items are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

If such release and termination gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Call that is not paid when due, Buyer shall notify the Seller of the amount thereof and the 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 10.

11.RELIANCE

19.REMEDIES

(h)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18(d) or 18(i)), shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)Buyer has the right to cause the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, to be deemed immediately to occur (provided that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction may be deemed immediately canceled). Buyer shall (except for deemed exercises) give written notice to Seller of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

(A)The Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date (determined in accordance with the preceding sentence) in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder; the Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee any and all Purchased Assets, original papers, Servicing Records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in the Seller’s possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights thereon shall be deemed transferred to Buyer or its designee; provided, however, in the event that the Seller repurchases any Purchased Asset pursuant to this Section 19(a)(i), Buyer shall deliver to Seller any and all original papers, records and files relating to such Purchased Asset then in its possession and/or control.

(B)To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section decreased as of any day by (i) any amounts actually in the possession of Buyer pursuant to clause (C) of this subsection, (ii) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased Assets applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section, and (iii) any other Purchased Items, Related Security or other assets of Seller held by Buyer and applied to the Obligation.

(C)All Income actually received by Buyer pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise shall be applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price owed by Seller.

(ii)Buyer shall have the right to, at any time on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 19(a)(i), (A) immediately sell, without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem to be commercially reasonable for cash or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items on a servicing released basis and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder or (B) in its reasonable good faith discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets, Purchased Items, Related Security or other assets of Seller held by Buyer in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets and the Purchased Items will be applied to the Obligations and Buyer’s related expenses as determined by Buyer in its reasonable good faith discretion. Buyer may purchase any or all of the Purchased Assets at any public or private sale.

(iii)The Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding section. Seller will be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including but not limited to, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the allocated costs of internal counsel of Buyer)) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (B) damages in an amount equal to the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket cost of Buyer (including all fees, expenses, and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (C) any other out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

(iv)Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and declare all obligations of the Seller to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in accordance with Section 19 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 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, the 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.

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

(a)Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records and all other files of the 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 the Seller or any third party acting for the Seller and the 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.

(b)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 determines appropriate and as is consistent with the Servicer’s obligations and applicable law.

(c)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.

(d)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 the 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.

(e)Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and the Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right the Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. The 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) the 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. The 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.

(f)The Seller shall cause all sums received by the 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 19(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.

20.DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or 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 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 to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. 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 in writing.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation laws with respect to unfair or deceptive lending practices and predatory lending practices, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a claim by one Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, the Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by the Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the Seller. The Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party promptly after billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s reasonable documented, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this

Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. The Seller hereby acknowledges that, the obligations of the Seller under this Agreement are recourse obligations of the Seller.

(h)The Seller agrees to pay (within ten (10) Business Days after the Seller receives written demand for such payment from Buyer) all of the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, any other Program Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. The Seller agrees to pay (within 10 Business Days after the Seller receives written demand for such payment from Buyer) all of the documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (i) filing fees and all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer in connection with the initial negotiation of this Agreement and (ii) all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Purchased Items under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to this Section 23 and Section 43 hereof; provided, however, that (x) the aggregate amount of such costs and expenses referred to in clause (i) of this sentence shall not exceed $200,000 (exclusive of amendments hereto), and (y) the aggregate amount of such costs and expenses referred to in clause (ii) of this sentence and incurred after the Effective Date shall not exceed $25,000 per annum; provided that after the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amounts shall not be applicable. Buyer shall deliver to the Seller copies of documentation supporting any of the foregoing demands in a reasonable time following the Seller’s reasonable request. The Seller, Buyer, and each Indemnified Party also agree not to assert any claim against the others or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(i)If the Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of the Seller by Buyer (including without limitation by Buyer netting such amount from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid by Buyer to the Seller hereunder), in its sole discretion and the Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer (except those that are paid by Seller, including by netting against any Purchase Price). No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under the Program Documents (except those that are paid by Seller, including by netting against any Purchase Price).

(j)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 23 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.

(o)Subject to the terms set forth in Section 37(b) below, Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets (each of the foregoing, a “Repledge Transaction”) to a third party (each, a “Repledgee”).

(p)Notwithstanding Section 37(a) above, no such Repledge Transaction under this Section 37 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, and its obligation to return to Seller the exact Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Items and not substitutes therefor. The Buyer hereby represents that each Repledge Transaction expressly requires the applicable Repledgee to return such Purchased Assets to the Buyer upon tender of repayment therefor. Additionally, (i) with respect to any Repledge Transaction that constitutes a securitization of the Purchased Assets or Buyer’s interests therein, each Repledgee shall enter into a side letter whereby the Indenture Trustee (as defined in the related securitization documents) agrees that (x) upon an Event of Default pursuant to the related securitization documents, the Indenture Trustee shall provide notice thereof to Seller, and Seller shall have the right to purchase Purchased Loans from the Buyer at the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans within 30 days of the receipt of such notice and (y) upon remittance of the applicable Repurchase Price, the Seller shall automatically become the owner of the Purchased Loans and the servicing rights related thereto and all Obligations of Seller under this Agreement with respect to such Purchased Loans shall cease to exist other than those that by their express terms survive and (z) Buyer and the Indenture Trustee shall automatically cease to have any right, title or interest in such Purchased Loans and the servicing rights related thereto, (ii) the Purchased Assets shall not be transferred from the Custodian except pursuant to the terms of the Custodial Agreement, (iii) regardless of the form of Repledge Transaction, the applicable certificates or other form of collateral representing the Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Assets (the “Repledged Collateral”) shall initially be held by U.S. Bank as custodian, or such other custodian as the Buyer notifies the Seller shall serve as the initial custodian with respect to such Repledged Collateral in the applicable Repledge Transaction (which notice shall be delivered no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Repledged Collateral being transferred to such other initial custodian, along with key contact information for such custodian) (the “Repledge Custodian”), and (iv) the Buyer shall provide the Seller with no less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice before any Repledged Collateral is transferred from the Repledge Custodian to an alternative custodian, along with key contact information at the applicable alternative custodian. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Repledge Transaction shall not be subject to the terms set forth in this Section 37(b) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

38.ASSIGNMENTS.

(q)The Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder only with the prior written consent 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; provided, however, that an assignment of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement shall not require the Seller’s consent if (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) such assignment is to an adequately capitalized affiliate of Buyer (as determined by Seller in its reasonable discretion). 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 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.

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

(s)Upon the Seller’s consent to an assignment, the Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer 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.

(t)Buyer, solely for this purpose as Seller’s non-fiduciary agent, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record each participation and assignment hereunder and each Assignment and Acceptance. The Register will include the name and address of Buyer (including all assignees, Participants and successors) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned or participated. The entries in the Register will be conclusive absent manifest error. 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 38(d) is intended to comprise a book entry system within the meaning of 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.

(a)Buyer may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more entities (“Participants”) participating interests in this Agreement, its agreement to purchase Eligible Loans, or any other interest of Buyer hereunder and under the other Program Documents. In the event of any such sale by Buyer of participating interests to a Participant, Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement to Seller shall remain unchanged, Buyer shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents. Seller agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Buyer under this Agreement; provided, that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of set-off if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with Buyer the proceeds thereof.

(b)Buyer may furnish any information concerning Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of Buyer from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants) only after notifying Seller in writing and securing signed confidentiality statements and only for the sole purpose of evaluating assignments or participations and for no other purpose; provided that the Seller’s financial statements may only be provided to assignees and Participants upon the Seller’s prior written consent; provided, further, such consent shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred.

(c)Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment and/or participation and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other

modifications to, this Agreement and the other Program Documents as are reasonably requested in order to give effect to such assignment and/or participation; provided, however, that any such amendments, supplements, or other modifications shall not alter the basic remedies and obligations of Seller in this Agreement.

39.SINGLE AGREEMENT

The Seller and Buyer 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, the Seller and Buyer 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.

40.INTENT

(a)The 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, and 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. The Seller and the Buyer recognize that the Buyer shall be entitled to, without limitation, the liquidation, termination, acceleration and non-avoidability rights afforded to parties to “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).

(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 19 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.

41.CONFIDENTIALITY

(b)Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to the other regarding the terms set forth in any of the Program Documents or the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or regarding any other confidential or proprietary information of a party, including, without limitation, any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a) (the “Confidential Terms”), will be kept confidential by such party, and will not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of such other party except to the extent that (i) such information is disclosed to direct or indirect parent companies, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, members, managers, shareholders, legal counsel, auditors, accountants or agents (the “Representatives”); provided that such Representatives are informed of the confidential nature of such information and the disclosing party is responsible for their breach of these confidentiality provisions; provided, further, that with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, financial information provided pursuant to Section 13(a), such financial information is only disclosed to Representatives in connection with the ongoing administration or performance of the Program Documents, (ii) disclosure of such information is required by law, rule, regulation or order of any court, taxing authority, governmental agency or regulatory body, (iii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of the provisions of this Section 41, (iv) other than with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a), which shall require Seller’s separate and prior written consent to disclose, disclosure is made to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any hedging arrangement, (v) other than with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a), which shall require Seller’s separate and prior written consent to disclose, any such disclosure is made in connection with an offering of securities, (vi) other than with respect to any financial information of Seller provided to Buyer, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 13(a), which shall require Seller’s separate and prior written consent to disclose, disclosures are made in Seller’s financial statements or footnotes, (vii) such disclosures are made to lenders or prospective lenders to Seller, buyers or prospective buyers of Seller’s business, sellers or prospective sellers of businesses to Seller and its counsel, accountants, representatives and agents, or (viii) such disclosure is pursuant to Section 38(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that, except as provided above, no party may disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Seller, Buyer, their Affiliates or any other Indemnified Party, or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Applicable Margin, Applicable Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the other parties.

(c)In the case of disclosure by Seller or Buyer, other than pursuant to Section 41(a)(i), (iii), (vi) or (vii), the disclosing party shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide the other parties with prior written notice to permit the other party to seek a protective order or to take other appropriate action. The disclosing party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the other party’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Program Documents. If, in the absence of a protective order, the disclosing party or any of its Representatives is compelled as a matter of law to disclose any such information, the disclosing party may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of the Program Documents it is compelled to disclose (in which case, prior to such disclosure, the disclosing party shall, to the extent permitted by law, use commercially reasonable efforts to advise and consult with the other parties and their counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure).

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller shall comply, in all material respects, with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall notify the other parties promptly following discovery of any breach or compromise in any material respect of any applicable requirements of law with respect to the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of the other parties. Seller and Buyer shall provide such notice to the other parties by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

42.SERVICING

(f)Subject to subsection (d) below, the 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 by 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 and the assumption thereof by such entity.

(g)During the period the Seller is servicing the Purchased Assets for Buyer, (i) the 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) the 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 the Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section 42 and any other obligation of the Seller to Buyer. At all times during the term of this Agreement, the 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 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.

(h)If any Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than the Seller (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Purchased Asset is to be transferred to a Subservicer, the Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement and an Instruction Letter executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer 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. In addition, the Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Loans, which consent may not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.

(i)After the Purchase Date, until the Repurchase Date, the 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 the 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.

(j)The Seller shall permit Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time the Seller’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that the 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 the Seller, the Seller shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Subservicer.

(k)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.

(l)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 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 if 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. 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.

43.PERIODIC DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW

The Seller acknowledges that Buyer 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 the Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than three (3) Business Days’) prior notice to the Seller (provided that upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, no such prior notice shall be required), Buyer or its 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 the Seller and/or the Custodian. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer 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. The Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall purchase Loans from the Seller based solely upon the information provided by the 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. The Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with 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 the Seller. In addition, Buyer 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. The Seller and Buyer further agree that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 43 shall be paid by the Seller subject to the limitations of Section 23(b) of this Agreement and that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall be limited to one (1) on-site visits in any calendar year.

44.SET-OFF

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by this Agreement and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to the 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 the Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the 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 to or for the credit or the account of the Seller only to the extent specifically relating to this Agreement, the other Program Documents or the Transactions described hereunder. Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to the Seller, against all of the Seller’s obligations to Buyer, under this Agreement or under any other Program Documents, if such obligations of the Seller are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

45.ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement and the other Program Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and thereto and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein and therein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each party hereto.

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 as determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as to each Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder, the 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 30 days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Loan been 30 days 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 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, 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 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 the Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Loan 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 contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums due and owing thereon have been paid. The Mortgage 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, 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 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.

(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.

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 on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer.

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.

The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as they deem necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. Except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed.

(c)Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.

(d)Ownership. Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Note and upon the sale of the Loans to Buyer, Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, Buyer or Buyer’s designee, in trust for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Loan. The Loan is not assigned or pledged to a third party, subject to Takeout Commitments, and Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Loan, Buyer will hold such Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, except any security interest created pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Takeout Commitments.

Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading.
