Seller shall not (and shall cause each of its Affiliates, directors, advisers, agents, employees and any other Person acting on its behalf not to) (a) solicit offers, inquiries or proposals for, or entertain any offer, inquiry or proposal to enter into, a Competing Transaction, including any direct or indirect sale or other transfer of all or any portion of the equity interests or assets of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (or interests therein) to any Person or entity other than Buyer, or (b) engage in any discussions or negotiations with, provide any information to, or enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person or Persons other than Buyer and its advisers, regarding a Competing Transaction. Seller hereby agrees to immediately notify Xxxxx if it receives any offer, inquiry or proposal to consider a Competing Transaction, which notice shall include information regarding the soliciting party, the date of initial contact regarding such Competing Transaction and the terms of such Competing Transaction. Section 6.3. Use of Name; Name Change. Seller shall, at or immediately following the Closing, at its expense, change its name (and the names of its Affiliates) to a name that does not contain and is not confusingly similar to the name “American Advisors Group” or any derivation or abbreviation thereof (the “Licensed Mark”), and shall, as soon as practicable following the date hereof but no later than sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date, file an advance change notice of the change in Seller’s name contemplated by this Section 6.3 with each Governmental Authority relating to each Governmental Permit with respect to which such advance change notice is permitted. Each such advance change notice shall state that the intended name change shall be effective as of the Closing Date. In addition, Seller shall, either at or immediately following Closing, file any other documents as are necessary to reflect such change in Seller’s or its Affiliates’ names contemplated by this Section 6.3 in its state of incorporation and in each state in which it or they are qualified to do business as a foreign entity or local business permits, and withdraw, abandon or surrender any and all other permits or registrations authorizing the Seller or its Affiliates to operate under a trade name, “doing business as” name, or fictitious business name

43 under which Seller or its Affiliates currently or previously has conducted business, and diligently prosecute such name change to completion and (ii) Seller shall remove, delete, or destroy all references to the Licensed Mark appearing on any business, marketing, advertising, or other materials of the Seller or its Affiliates in any format or media. From and after the Closing, none of Seller or any of its Affiliates shall use, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Buyer, any Trademark containing the Licensed Mark. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will have a limited right from and after the Closing to use the Licensed Mark (A) to the extent constituting nominative fair use; (B) as required by applicable Requirements of Law; (C) in a neutral, non-trademark manner to discuss the Parties’ former relationship; and (D) on archival legal and business documents and materials that are not visible to the public. Section 6.4. Employees. (a) At least ten (10) and not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an updated list of Business Employees that includes the information set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 3.17(c) with respect to each such Business Employee. Buyer and Seller specifically agree that Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make offers to employ each Business Employee (an “Employment Offer”), which offer shall be made in good faith and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing and effective as of the Closing; provided that, (i) to the extent mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, such offer of employment may be effective, and such Business Employee may commence employment with the Buyer or an applicable Affiliate thereof, at a mutually agreed time, and (ii) to the extent the applicable Business Employee is an Inactive Business Employee, such offer shall be effective as of the date that such Business Employee is able to return to work, so long as such date is within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date or such later return date as may be required by applicable Requirement of Law. If Buyer elects to make an Employment Offer, such Employment Offer shall be made no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date. Following the date hereof and while Buyer has outstanding obligations pursuant to this Section 6.4, Seller shall notify Buyer of the occurrence of the end of any such leave of absence with respect to any Inactive Business Employee as soon as reasonably practicable following such occurrence. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall retain all costs, expenses and Liabilities related to any Inactive Business Employee that arise out of or accrue as a result of an event or events that occur on, prior to or as of the date that any Inactive Business Employee commences employment with the Buyer or an Affiliate thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At reasonable times prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer or an Affiliate thereof with reasonable access to the Business Employees in order to permit Buyer and its Affiliates to discuss potential terms of employment. Each Business Employee who accepts Xxxxx’s offer of employment pursuant to this Section 6.4 and commences employment with Buyer or an Affiliate thereof shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the transfer of any Business Employees that are on visa or work permits sponsored by Seller or its Subsidiaries. (b) Seller shall (i) cause, effective as of the date on which a Transferred Employee commences employment with the Buyer or an Affiliate, any Transferred Employee who is participating in any Seller Benefit Plan to cease participation in such Seller Benefit Plan and (ii) waive and release any confidentiality, non-competition, non-disclosure and similar agreements between Seller and its Affiliates and each Transferred Employee that would restrict or encumber such Transferred Employee’s ability to perform his or her duties as an employee of Buyer or an

44 Affiliate thereof. Seller shall comply with the requirements of Part B of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Code Section 4980B for any individual who is a “M&A qualified beneficiary” (as defined in Q&A 4 of Treasury Requirement Section 54.4980B-9) and any other individual who is terminated prior to Closing, and shall continue to provide coverage under Seller’s or its Affiliate’s group health plan for the applicable COBRA coverage continuation period until such plan is terminated. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of continued employment of any Transferred Employee and this Agreement shall not be construed so as to prohibit Seller from having the right to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee following the Closing, provided that any such termination is effected in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. (c) In the event that a Business Employee (i) receives an Employment Offer in accordance with Section 6.4(a) (any such offer, a “Qualifying Employment Offer”) and (ii) does not accept such Qualifying Employment Offer, Seller shall bear, or shall cause its Affiliates to bear, the expense and responsibility for any severance or other benefits (including any benefits payable under the Requirements of Law) payable in connection with any termination of employment of such Business Employee and any other Liabilities related to such Business Employee, which, in each case, shall be Excluded Liabilities, and Seller shall otherwise indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates for all such severance, benefits and Liabilities. (d) Each Business Employee who (i) is not an Inactive Business Employee and (ii) does not receive an Employment Offer or Qualifying Employment Offer, shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Excluded Business Employee.” Seller shall bear, or shall cause its Affiliates to bear, the expense of, and responsibility for, all severance and other benefits that become payable or that are otherwise owed to any Excluded Business Employee or Inactive Business Employee, and Seller shall otherwise indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates for all such severance and other benefits (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall constitute Excluded Liabilities). However, Buyer shall provide to Seller an amount in cash equal to the amount of cash severance benefits that becomes payable (if any) to any Excluded Business Employee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent that (A) such Excluded Business Employee is terminated by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries within ninety (90) days following the Closing and (B) such cash severance amounts do not exceed the applicable cash severance amounts described in Schedule 6.4(d). The amount of cash severance benefits Buyer is required to provide to Seller in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Buyer Severance Amount”. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a schedule (the “Buyer Severance Amount Schedule”) listing the cash severance amount payable to each such Excluded Business Employee and the estimated Buyer Severance Amount. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer and its representatives in connection with Xxxxx’s review of the Buyer Severance Amount Schedule. Following agreement by Xxxxxx and Xxxxx on the final Buyer Severance Amount, Buyer shall pay to Seller the Buyer Severance Amount. (e) To the extent that a Transferred Employee was a participant in a Seller Benefit Plan, Seller shall be responsible for providing welfare benefits (including medical, hospital, vision, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, life, disability and other similar benefits) to any participating Transferred Employees for all claims incurred on or prior to the date on which the Transferred Employee commences employment with the Buyer or an Affiliate under

45 and subject to the generally applicable terms and conditions of such plans. For purposes of this Section 6.4(e), a claim is incurred with respect to (i) accidental death and dismemberment, disability, life and other similar benefits when the event giving rise to such claim occurred and (ii) medical, hospital, vision, dental and other similar benefits when the services with respect to such claim are rendered. (f) On or prior to the Closing Date, or by such later date that a Transferred Business Employee commences employment with Buyer or its Affiliate, Seller or its Affiliate shall (i) take any necessary action to fully vest as of such date each Transferred Business Employee’s account balances and other benefits under all Seller Benefit Plans that are employee pension benefit plans (as such term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), and (ii) enter into an agreement with the individuals set forth on Schedule 6.4(f) for the benefit of Seller, Buyer and their respective Affiliates pursuant to which such individuals will waive and release any claims or rights with respect to any promised stock options, equity participation or similar rights for sufficient consideration, with such agreement to be in a form and such consideration to be, in each case, approved by Buyer. (g) The Parties acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.4 are included for the sole benefit of the Parties. This Agreement is not intended by the Parties to, and nothing in this Section 6.4 or otherwise in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall, (i) constitute an amendment to any Seller Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement, (ii) create any obligation of the Parties to any Person (other than the other Parties) with respect to any employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (iii) confer on any Transferred Employee or any other Person (other than the Parties) any rights or remedies (including third party beneficiary rights), or (iv) alter or limit Buyer’s or Seller’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ ability to amend, modify, or terminate any Seller Benefit Plans or any other employee benefit plan. Section 6.5. Section 280G. At least two (2) days prior to the Closing Date, (a) Seller shall solicit a written waiver from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280(G)(c) of the Code) of his or her right to any and all payments or other benefits that could be deemed “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) if such payments are not approved by Seller’s stockholders in a manner intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) and any regulations thereunder (such waivers, “280G Waivers”) and (b) Seller shall solicit stockholder approval of any and all such waived payments or benefits in a manner intended to satisfy the requirements for the exemption under Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code and any regulations thereunder. At least seven (7) days prior to Seller’s distribution of 280G Waivers to the “disqualified individuals” and solicitation of stockholder approval, Seller shall provide to Buyer for Buyer’s review and comment, any analysis or calculations in connection with the foregoing, and any materials to be distributed to “disqualified individuals” (including the 280G Waivers) and stockholders of Seller in connection with the foregoing. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer evidence that (i) a vote of Seller’s stockholders was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5 and that either (A) the requisite number of stockholder votes was obtained (the “280G Approval”), or (B) that the 280G Approval was not obtained and no excess parachute payments shall be made or (ii) that no 280G Approval was necessary.

46 Section 6.6. Certain Restrictive Covenants. (a) Confidentiality. Seller and the Seller Principal acknowledge that the businesses and the business objectives of Buyer involve the acquisition of the Purchased Assets, including confidential and proprietary information relating to the Purchased Assets and the Business, as well as the goodwill of Seller, in consideration for good and valuable consideration provided by Xxxxx at the Closing as described in Article II hereof, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged. Seller and the Seller Principal acknowledge and agree that it would be unfair to divulge or utilize such information relating to the Business and the Purchased Assets or goodwill in competition with Buyer after the Closing Date. Therefore, from and after the Closing, none of Seller nor the Seller Principal shall not use or divulge any pricing information, marketing arrangements or strategies, internal performance statistics, personnel information, Personal Information, Intellectual Property or any other information concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets, Buyer or any of its Affiliates (“Confidential Information”); provided, however, that the covenants contained in this Section 6.6(a) shall not apply to the following: (i) information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by any of Seller or the Seller Principal in violation of the terms of this Section 6.6(a); (ii) information that is or becomes available to Seller or the Seller Principal from a third party who is not, to the knowledge of Seller or the Seller Principal at the time of receipt, bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligations of confidentiality to, Buyer or any of their Affiliates or any other Person with respect to such information; or (iii) information that Seller or the Seller Principal is required to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other Requirements of Law, including as reasonably necessary in connection with any dispute relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that in the case of disclosure pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii), Seller and the Seller Principal shall notify Buyer prior to such disclosure with reasonable advance notice so that Buyer and/or its Affiliates may seek, at Buyer’s sole expense, an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.6(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller and the Seller Principal may disclose and otherwise provide information about the subject matter and the terms of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby to its employees, equityholders, accountants, financial or tax advisors, legal counsel and other advisors who are subject to customary obligations of confidentiality. (b) Non-Competition. In exchange for Buyer’s agreements herein, including the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of Confidential Information and business goodwill of Seller and the Purchased Assets for good and valuable consideration, each of Seller and the Seller Principal hereby agree that for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, none of Seller nor the Seller Principal shall engage, directly or indirectly, either as an owner, equity holder (other than as an equity holder of less than 2% percent of the issued and outstanding shares of a publicly traded company or as an equity holder of the Buyer Parties), lender or otherwise, within the United States of America, in any business activity or enterprise that engages in reverse mortgage origination. (a) Non-Solicitation of Employees. None of Seller nor the Seller Principal shall, prior to the four (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date, either directly or indirectly, for its or their own benefit or the benefit of any other Person, solicit or attempt to solicit, or induce or attempt

47 to induce, any individual who is employed by Seller immediately prior to the Closing, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or their successors in interest to leave his or her employment with Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or their successors in interest, or employ or otherwise hire any such person; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict Seller or Seller Principal from (i) making general advertisements of employment opportunities which are not specifically targeted at any such Person so long as Seller and Seller Principal do not hire any individual who is employed by Seller immediately prior to the Closing, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or their successors in interest or (ii) soliciting or hiring any such Person whose employment has been terminated by Buyer or any of its Affiliates at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of the earlier of such solicitation or hiring. For the avoidance of doubt, the continued employment by Seller of employees who do not transfer to Buyer shall not be a violation of this provision. (b) Injunctive Relief for Breach. Seller and the Seller Principal acknowledge and agree that the restrictions and covenants contained or referenced in this Section 6.6 are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer and its Affiliates and that any violation of such restrictions may result in irreparable injury and harm to Buyer and its Affiliates or their successors in interest, for which damages may not be an adequate remedy. Seller and the Seller Principal specifically acknowledge and agree that Buyer and/or any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to seek, without limitation, injunctive relief for a breach of any restriction contained in this Section 6.6, and that none of Seller nor the Seller Principal will oppose such relief on the grounds that there exists an adequate remedy at law. (c) Enforceability. If any provision contained in this Section 6.6 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 6.6, but this Section 6.6 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 6.6 is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by Requirements of Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under Requirements of Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 6.6 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Requirements of Law. Section 6.7. Financing. (a) During the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to provide to Buyer all cooperation that is reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with any debt, equity or other financing of Buyer in connection with the Transactions, including for purposes of funding any payments to be made by Buyer hereunder (the “Financing”), which shall include, without limitation: (i) causing the senior officers of Seller and its Subsidiaries to participate in meetings and presentations (which meetings and presentations may be virtual or telephonic), in each case in connection with the Financing; (ii) assisting in providing information for the completion of any

48 disclosure schedules and such other information as is customarily required in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including any loan tapes or other loan-level detail and similarly detailed information relating to the Purchased Assets, the MSR Assets and the Mortgage Loan Assets) and executing and delivering definitive financing agreements and related certificates as may be reasonably requested by Buyer and assist in facilitating the pledging of collateral of the Purchased Assets, the MSR Assets and the Mortgage Loan Assets to secure such Financing; (iii) furnishing financial statements and other financial information of Seller and its Subsidiaries; (iv) providing drafts of the Pay-off Letters and giving (by the date required under the Contracts evidencing the Indebtedness that is the subject of the Pay-off Letters) any necessary notices (including conditional notices of prepayment) to allow for the prepayment in full at the Closing of such Indebtedness; (v) providing all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and 31 C.F.R. §1010.230, as reasonably requested by Xxxxx; and (vi) consenting to the use of its logos in connection with the Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage Seller’s reputation or goodwill. (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in connection with the Financing, none of Seller, Seller Principal or their respective Affiliates: (i) shall be required to become subject to any obligations or liabilities (personal or otherwise) with respect to the Financing unless reimbursed in accordance with clause (c) below; (ii) shall be required to provide cooperation under this Section 6.7 that unreasonably interferes with the ongoing business of Seller and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof, or would reasonably be expected to cause (x) any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached or (y) any condition to Closing to fail to be satisfied; (iii) shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or enter into any definitive agreement in connection with the Financing (other than the Pay-off Letters) or incur (or commit to incur) any other liability or obligation of any kind unless reimbursed in accordance with clause (c) below; (iv) shall be required to take any action that would reasonably be expected to conflict with, violate or result in any breach of or default under any organizational documents of Seller or its Subsidiaries or any applicable Requirements of Law; (v) shall be required to take any action that would reasonably be expected to subject any director, manager, officer or employee of Seller or its Subsidiaries to any actual or potential liability (personal or otherwise); (vi) shall be required to provide access to, or disclose information that would reasonably be expected to result in the loss of attorney-client privilege of, or conflict with any confidentiality obligations binding on, Seller or its Subsidiaries; or (vii) require Seller or its Subsidiaries to prepare, execute or deliver opinions of internal or external counsel. (c) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, Seller Principal and their respective Affiliates and directors, officers, employees, representatives and advisors (including legal, financial and accounting advisors) from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that such liabilities or failure to comply arose out of or resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Seller, Seller Principal or any of their respective Affiliates and directors, officers, employees, representatives and advisors (including legal, financial and accounting advisors). Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for all reasonable and documented

49 out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Seller and its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation provided for in this Section 6.7.

(c) Indemnification for Asset Purchase Agreement Matters.

Indemnification by Seller under this Article IX shall be applied in the following order with respect to each claim of Loan Loss or Loss, as applicable, until such claim is satisfied or a limitation on such claim pursuant to Section 9.7 applies: (i) first, the Indemnity Holdback Amount shall be reduced by the amount of the Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, actually indemnifiable for such claim, until the Remaining Indemnity Holdback Amount is equal to zero (0); (ii) second, Seller shall forfeit, and FOAEC (or, as applicable, FOA) shall cancel, such number of FOAEC Units (or equivalent number of shares of FOA Class A Common Stock into which such FOAEC Units are exchangeable pursuant to the Exchange Agreement) equal to (A) the Indemnity Holdback Units multiplied by (B) (1) the amount of such Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, actually indemnifiable for such claim (net of the amount by which the Indemnity Holdback Amount was reduced in respect of such Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, pursuant to the foregoing clause (i)) divided by (2) the original Indemnity Holdback Amount (prior to any reductions thereof under this Section 9.2(d)) (which number of FOAEC Units may, for the avoidance of doubt, exceed the number of Indemnity Holdback Units); and (iii) third, solely with respect to Fraud, Seller shall pay the remaining amount of any such Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, in cash. Each of the Parties agrees to execute and deliver such instruments, and take such other actions, as may be reasonably necessary to give effect to the foregoing. (e) Release of Indemnity Holdback. (i) Within 10 days of the later to occur of (A) the date that is two (2) years after the Closing Date and (B) the satisfaction of the Control Condition, FOAEC shall issue to Seller such number of FOAEC Units equal to the excess of the Remaining Indemnity Holdback Units, if any, over the Remaining Indemnity Holdback Unit Threshold. (ii) Within 10 days of the later to occur of (A) the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date and (B) the satisfaction of the Control Condition, FOAEC shall issue to Seller such number of FOAEC Units equal to the Remaining Indemnity Holdback Units, if any, net of any FOAEC Units issued to Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(e)(i). (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or otherwise, FOAEC may deduct from the Remaining Indemnity Holdback Amount for purposes of

56 determining the amount of FOAEC Units to be issued under Section 9.2(e)(i) and Section 9.2(e)(ii) the amount of any pending claims pursued in good faith by a Buyer Indemnified Party under this Section 9.2. If any FOAEC Units were withheld from issuance pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, upon final resolution of the applicable claim in accordance with this Agreement, if the final amount of the Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, indemnifiable by Seller with respect to such claim is less than the amount withheld or deducted, as applicable, FOAEC shall issue or deliver FOAEC Units in respect of the difference between the amount withheld or deducted, as applicable, and the actual amount of such Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, indemnifiable by Seller with respect to such claim. (iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of FOAEC Units shall not limit the ability of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to seek indemnity under, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Article IX. Section 9.3. Indemnification by Xxxxx. (a) From and after the Closing, Xxxxx agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their directors, managers, officers, employees, agents and representatives (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party in connection with or arising from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement, the MSR Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Pipeline Agreements or the Ancillary Agreements; and (ii) any breach by the Buyer Parties of, or failure by the Buyer Parties to perform, any of its covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, the MSR Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Pipeline Agreements; and (iii) any of the Assumed Liabilities, Purchased Assets, the MSR Liabilities or the Pipeline Liabilities; provided that the Buyer shall not be required to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2. Section 9.4. Notice of Claims. In the event that a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, are seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) against Seller or Buyer, as applicable (the “Indemnitor”), in connection with a claim that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnitor a notice of such claim setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such claim (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, arising out of, involving or otherwise in respect of such claim and shall include a reference to the provision of this Agreement, the MSR Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Pipeline Agreements or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based. The failure to give notice as provided in this Section 9.4 shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

57 Section 9.5. Determination of Amount; Satisfaction. For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty under this Agreement, the MSR Purchase Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and for the purposes of determining the amount of any Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, that are indemnifiable under this Article IX, each representation and warranty under this Agreement, the MSR Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Pipeline Agreements shall be read without giving effect to any “materiality” qualifiers (including “Material Adverse Effect”) contained therein, except for references to such materiality qualifiers (a) in Section 3.6 (Operations Since the Balance Sheet Date) and (b) for purposes of determining the items required to be listed in any Schedules attached to this Agreement, the MSR Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Pipeline Agreements. For purposes of determining whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty under Article V of the MSR Purchase Agreement or Exhibits 5-A, 5-B and 5-C of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and for the purposes of determining the amount of any Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, that are indemnifiable under this Article IX with respect to such breaches, each representation and warranty under the MSR Purchase Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be read without (x) any qualifications concerning knowledge (including any reference to “the Seller’s knowledge,” “the best of Seller’s knowledge,” or any other terms similar thereto) and (y) any exceptions to such representations and warranties in a disclosure schedule attached thereto, or otherwise stated as an exception to Seller’s representations and warranties. The amount of any Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, payable in accordance with this Article IX shall be calculated net of any third-party insurance, indemnification or other proceeds that have actually been recovered by the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy or other contract, agreement or undertaking in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification (net of any applicable collection costs and reserves, deductibles, premium adjustments and retrospectively rated premiums), it being understood that an Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to obtain or maintain any type of insurance coverage. Any amounts payable pursuant to this Article IX shall be paid without duplication, and in no event shall any Person be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Loss. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Indemnified Party shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all the rights and remedies available thereto to mitigate all Losses and Loan Losses as required by Law for which indemnification is, or may be, available under Section 9.2(c) or Section 9.3. For the avoidance of doubt, such duty to mitigate shall include using commercially reasonable efforts to make a claim against all available insurance proceeds that actually covers such Loss or Loan Loss. Section 9.6. Third Party Claims. (a) Any Party seeking indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing of such Third Party Claim setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, arising out of, involving or otherwise in respect of such Third Party Claim and shall include a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such Third Party Claim is based. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnitor copies of all notices and documents (including court

58 papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. The failure to give notice as provided in this Section 9.6 shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. (b) In the event of the initiation of any Action against the Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor may, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice and upon notice to the Indemnified Party, assume, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, the settlement or defense thereof (in which case any Loan Losses or Losses, as applicable, associated therewith shall be the sole responsibility of the Indemnitor); provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it at its sole expense, and provided, further, that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action or any Action by a Governmental Authority, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, (iii) the Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Buyer, (iv) the Indemnified Party is advised by legal counsel that the interests of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim are in conflict with one another and, as a result, the Indemnitor could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Party in such claim, (v) the Indemnitor has failed or is failing to defend in good faith the Third Party Claim, or (vi) the Indemnitor has not acknowledged in writing that such Third Party Claim is subject to, and the Indemnified Party is entitled to, indemnification pursuant to this Article IX and that the Indemnitor will satisfy such claim in full in accordance with the terms hereof. (c) In the case of any assumption of a defense, negotiation or settlement of any Action, claim or demand pursuant to Section 9.6(b), each of the Parties agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other Party in connection with such defense, negotiation or settlement and to make available to the other Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the other Party; provided, however, that prior to providing such records, materials and information, such other Party shall enter into a customary confidentiality agreement with respect thereto. To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such Action, claim or demand, and the Indemnified Party defends against or otherwise deals with any such Action, claim or demand, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, at the expense of the Indemnitor, and control the defense of such Action, claim or demand. The Indemnitor may not settle any such Action, claim or demand which settlement obligates the Indemnified Party to pay money, to perform obligations or to admit liability without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnified by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter, and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer, certified or bank cashier’s check within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice.

The aggregate amount payable in respect of indemnification by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) (other than with respect to Buyer Fundamental Representations) shall be limited to the Reps and Warranties Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the Basket and the Reps and Warranties Cap shall not apply to claims made pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) with respect to Buyer Fundamental Representations.

ARTICLE X TERMINATION Section 10.1. Termination. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date: (a) by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller; (b) by Buyer if Seller has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and such breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII and cannot be or has not been cured by the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given to Seller and (ii) the Termination Date as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 10.1(e); provided, that Buyer is not then in material breach of this Agreement; (c) by Seller if Buyer has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and such breach would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII and cannot be or has not been cured by the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given to Seller and (ii) the Termination Date as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 10.1(e); provided, that Seller is not then in material breach of this Agreement; (d) by Buyer or Seller if any Governmental Authority shall have issued a final and non-appealable order, decree or ruling permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions; or (e) by Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before April 6, 2023 (the “Termination Date”); provided, that if the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 and Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or waived on or prior to the Termination Date (taking into account any extensions thereof pursuant to this proviso) but all other conditions set forth in Article VII and Article VIII have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being capable of being satisfied as of the Termination Date (taking into account any extensions thereof pursuant to this proviso)), the Termination Date may be extended from time to time (and on multiple occasions) by Buyer to a time and date not later than December 6, 2023 by providing notice thereof to Seller prior to the Termination Date (taking into account any extensions thereof pursuant to this proviso) and such date designated by Buyer in such notice shall, unless further extended, be the “Termination Date”

65 for all purposes under this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) shall not be available to any Party whose actions, or failure to act, or whose breach of its obligations contained in this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or prior to the Termination Date; provided, further, that the previous proviso shall not apply to a termination by Buyer pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) in the event the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 and Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or waived on or prior to the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Termination Date is extended past April 6, 2023 by Buyer pursuant to the foregoing and at such time as the Buyer is no longer seeking in good faith to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 and Section 8.2, Seller and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to comply with their obligations under Section 5.4 from and after such time. Section 10.2. Notice of Termination. Any Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties. Section 10.3.

67 It is expressly agreed that nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Section 11.4. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the MSR Purchase Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Pipeline Agreements and the documents delivered pursuant hereto and thereto (including the Ancillary Agreements) contain the entire understanding of the Parties with regard to the subject matter contained herein or therein, and supersede all other prior representations, warranties, agreements, understandings or letters of intent between or among any of the Parties.

Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of, such Party. The failure of any Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Section 11.7. Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Party will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel, independent public accountants and other advisors.

68 Section 11.9. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or sent by email in portable document format (PDF)) in counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement, which agreement shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to all of the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Section 11.10. Further Assurances. Subject to, and not in limitation of, the provisions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement (including in Section 5.3 and Section 9.5), each of the Parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable, including under applicable Requirements of Law, to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including: (a) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the obligations of any of the Parties; and (b) the execution and delivery of such instruments, and the taking of such other actions, as the other Party may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York, New York in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. In any such Action, each Party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action brought in such court and any claim that any such Action brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party also agrees that any final, non-appealable judgment against a Party in connection with any Action may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment. Each Party agrees that any process or other paper to be served in connection with any Action under this Agreement shall, if delivered, sent or mailed in accordance with Section 11.2, constitute good, proper and sufficient service thereof. Section 11.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury in any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, between the Buyer Parties, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, or any other instrument or document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith. Any of the Parties may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

69 Section 11.13. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement related to the transactions contemplated hereby were not performed in accordance with their specific wording or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States of America or any state having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to any other remedy to which any Party may be entitled at law or in equity.

Section 11.14. Provision Respecting Legal Representation. Each of the Parties hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, that each of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP and Xxxxxx LLP is serving as counsel to Seller and its Subsidiaries, and may serve as counsel to their respective equityholders and other Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement prior to Closing and the consummation of the Transactions, and that, following Closing and consummation of the Transactions, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP or Xxxxxx LLP (or any of their respective successors) may serve as counsel to the Seller Group or any director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Seller Group, in connection with any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions notwithstanding such representation, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents thereto and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each of such parties shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between any Seller Party (including Seller) and their Affiliates which pertain directly to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to such Seller Parties and their Affiliates (and not be part of the Business). Accordingly, the Buyer Parties shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP or Xxxxxx LLP relating to such engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) the applicable Seller Parties and their Affiliates shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, (b) to the extent that files of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP or Xxxxxx LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the applicable Seller Parties and their Affiliates (and not the Buyer Parties) shall hold such property rights, and (c) each of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP and Xxxxxx LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Buyer Parties by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller and each of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx LLP.

70 including any equityholders, partners, members, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, managers, agents, representatives, or Affiliates of Seller, any of its Subsidiaries, Seller Principal, the Buyer Parties, or the heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing) that is not a party to this Agreement (each a “Non-Party Affiliate”) with respect to matters arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon, or in connection with the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or their subject matter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or with respect to any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to information furnished by or on behalf of Seller, any of its Subsidiaries, the Seller Principal or any Non-Party Affiliate in any way concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, this Agreement or its subject matter or the Transactions.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED IN THIS SECTION 2 BUT NOT DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASCRIBED THERETO IN THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS: (a) Right to Demand a Shelf Registration. Upon the demand of AAG (which, for clarity, may be made no more than one time in any 12-month period), subject to Section 2.7 of the Registration Rights Agreement, when the Registrant is eligible to sell its Common Stock in a secondary offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act whether on Form S-1, Form S-3 or a successor form, the Registrant will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a shelf registration of the Registrable Securities requested by AAG to be included in such shelf registration. Promptly upon receiving any such demand (but in no event more than 45 days in the case of a shelf registration on Form S-1 or 30 days in the case of a shelf registration on Form S-3 after receipt of a demand for such registration), the Registrant shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement (or, at the Registrant’s option, an amendment to an existing registration statement) relating to such demand. The Registrant, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration to promptly be declared effective under (x) the Securities Act and (y) the blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any participating Holder or any underwriter, if any, reasonably requests. With respect to any demand for shelf registration made by AAG, FOA will take such actions that it would be required to take under Section 2.16(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement if AAG were a Principal Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, in no event shall the Registrant be required to file a registration statement upon a demand by AAG prior to the date that is 71 days following the date of this Agreement. (b) Termination. The registration rights of AAG under the Registration Rights Agreement and this Section 2 shall automatically terminate upon AAG owning less than 1% of the outstanding Shares, or such earlier time as the Shares held by AAG may be sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(1), Rule 144 or 145 (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, without limitation thereunder on volume or manner of sale. (c) Amendments. Without the prior written consent of AAG, FOA shall not vote affirmatively in favor of, or consent in writing to, any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of the Registration Rights Agreement that would (i) adversely affect the economic

interests of AAG thereunder or (ii) increase the obligations of AAG disproportionately to other Holders. 3. TRANSFERS; MANDATORY EXCHANGES. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED IN THIS SECTION 3 BUT NOT DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASCRIBED THERETO IN THE LLC AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THE LLC AGREEMENT OR THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS: (a) Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary, for so long as AAG owns at least 5% of the outstanding Units, AAG may Transfer Vested Units that are vested as of the date of such Exchange Transaction in an Exchange Transaction pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement, but AAG shall not be required to comply with policies adopted or promulgated by the Board requiring the use of designated administrators or brokers. (b) Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 8.04 of the LLC Agreement, the Board may not cause to be Transferred in an Exchange Transaction the Units held by AAG without the consent of AAG, unless all other Members are required to Transfer in an Exchange Transaction all Units held by them. (c) If the Board proposes to require all Members to Transfer in an Exchange Transaction all Units held by them pursuant to Section 8.04 of the LLC Agreement, AAG shall, at any meeting of the Members, however called, or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which a vote or other approval is sought, vote (in person or by proxy) its Units or provide its consent in writing, as applicable, in proportion to the Units owned by Members other than AAG. By way of example only, if holders of 70% of the outstanding Units owned by Members other than AAG vote in favor of such Exchange Transaction, AAG will vote 70% of its Units, or provide its written consent with respect to 70% of its Units, in favor of such Exchange Transaction. (d) For the avoidance of doubt, AAG shall not be deemed a Service Provider for the purposes of the LLC Agreement and AAG’s Units shall all be Vested Units. (e) Without the prior written consent of AAG, FOA and FOAEC shall not vote affirmatively in favor of, or consent in writing to, any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of the LLC Agreement that may materially and adversely affect the rights of AAG under the LLC Agreement other than on a pro rata basis with other holders of Units of the same Class as held by AAG. (f) As of the date hereof, each of FOA and FOAEC represents, severally (and not jointly), to AAG that there is no subscription, letter or other agreement with any individual Member that provides for more favorable rights in respect of Class A Units outstanding as of the date hereof than those granted to AAG hereunder, other than any agreement (if any) made available publically and entered into after the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Exchange Agreement, that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2021, by and among FOA and each of the Principal Stockholders (as defined therein) from time to time party thereto, that certain Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2021, by and among Finance of America Companies Inc., the Blackstone Investors and the other parties thereto and

that certain Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2021, by and among Finance of America Companies Inc., the BL Investors and the other parties thereto. 4. EXCHANGE RIGHTS. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED IN THIS SECTION 4 BUT NOT DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASCRIBED THERETO IN THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS: (a) In addition to Section 2.1(a)(i) of the Exchange Agreement, subject to adjustment as provided in Article II of the Exchange Agreement, AAG will be entitled to Exchange LLC Units for shares of Class A Common Stock at any time and not only on a Quarterly Exchange Date; provided, that the number of LLC Units surrendered in Exchanges pursuant to this Section 4(a) during any thirty (30) calendar day period represent, in the aggregate, greater than two percent of total interests in partnership capital or profits (provided that such Exchange constitutes a “block transfer” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.7704-1(e)(2)). (b) Without the prior written consent of AAG, FOA and FOAEC shall not vote affirmatively in favor of, or consent in writing to, any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of the Exchange Agreement that would adversely affect the rights of AAG under the Exchange Agreement, including for the avoidance of doubt any procedures inconsistent with or that impair or adversely affect the rights of AAG to Exchange LLC Units pursuant to this Section 4. (c) As of the date hereof, each of FOA and FOAEC represents, severally (and not jointly), to AAG that there are no agreements that the FOA determines in good faith that would prohibit or should reasonably be expected to prohibit AAG from Exchanging its Units. 5. PLEDGES; SPIN-OFFS (a) Upon the request of AAG if it wishes to pledge, hypothecate or grant security interests in any or all of the shares of Common Stock or LLC Units held by it to banks or other licensed or regulated financial institutions as collateral or security for loans, advances or extensions of credit, FOA and FOAEC agree to cooperate with AAG by delivering customary letter agreements to lenders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such lenders (which may include customary agreements by FOA and FOAEC in respect of the exercise of remedies by such lenders) and instructing the transfer agent to transfer any such shares of Common Stock subject to the pledge, hypothecation or grant into the facilities of The Depository Trust Company without restricted legends. (b) In the event that FOA effects the separation of any portion of its business into one or more entities (each, a “NewCo”), whether existing or newly formed, including without limitation by way of spin-off, split-off, carve-out, demerger, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, and AAG will receive equity interests in any such NewCo as part of such separation, FOA shall cause any such NewCo to enter into a letter agreement with AAG that provides AAG with rights and obligations vis-a-vis such NewCo that are substantially identical to the rights and obligations that AAG has as of the date of such separation under this Agreement (to

the extent such rights and obligations are applicable in light of the nature of NewCo and its equity interests). 6. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Notice.
