11
holder of the Mortgage Loan free and
clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, pledges, or security interests (other than, with respect
to any Mortgage Loan in a second lien position, the lien of the related first mortgage) of any
nature and has full right and authority, under all governmental and regulatory bodies having
jurisdiction over the ownership of the applicable Mortgage Loans to sell and assign the same
pursuant to this Agreement;
(ii) For each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File contains or will contain each of the
documents and instruments specified to be included therein in the definition of “Mortgage File” in
Appendix A to the Indenture (it being understood that the Custodian maintains the Mortgage Note
related to each Mortgage File and the Servicer maintains the remainder of the items to be included
in the Mortgage File pursuant to the terms of this Agreement);
(iii) [Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” under Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of
the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(1), (2), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9) without
reliance on the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G 2(a)(3) or Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) or any other provision that would allow a Mortgage Loan to be treated as a
“qualified mortgage” notwithstanding its failure to meet the requirements of Section 860G(a)(3)(A)
of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(1), (2), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9)]
(iv) [_______] has not transferred the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser with any intent to
hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors; and
(v) No instrument of release or waiver has been executed by [_______] in connection with the
Mortgage Loans, and no Mortgagor has been released by [_______], in whole or in part, from its
obligations in connection therewith.
(e) Remedies. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Servicer or upon notice from the
Purchaser, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, of
a breach of the Seller’s or [___]’s respective representations or warranties in paragraphs (a) or
(d)(I) above that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders, in any
Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such
breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) to the extent that such breach
is with respect to a Mortgage Loan or a Related Document, either (A) repurchase such Mortgage Loan
from the Issuer at the Repurchase Price, or (B) substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Loans
for such Mortgage Loan, in each case in the manner and subject to the conditions and limitations
set forth below.
Upon discovery by the Seller or the Servicer or upon notice from the Purchaser, the Issuer,
the Servicer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, of a breach
of the Seller’s or [___]’s representations or warranties in paragraphs (b) or (d)(II) above, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, or upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders or the Purchaser in such Mortgage Loan (notice of
which shall be given to the Purchaser by the Seller or the Servicer, if it discovers the same),
notwithstanding the Seller’s or [___]’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such
representation and warranty, [___] or the Seller shall, as applicable, within
12
90 days after the earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice thereof, [or, if such breach has the effect of making
the Mortgage Loan fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G of the
Internal Revenue Code, within 90 days after the discovery thereof by either the Seller, the
Servicer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Purchaser] either cure such
breach or Repurchase Event in all material respects or either (i) repurchase such Mortgage Loan
from the Issuer at the Repurchase Price, or (ii) substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Loans
for such Mortgage Loan, in each case in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth below,
provided that the Seller shall have the option to substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans
for such Mortgage Loan [only if such substitution occurs within two years following the Closing
Date]. The Repurchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Seller shall be
deposited or caused to be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account. Any purchase of a
Mortgage Loan due to a Repurchase Event shall be the obligation of the Seller.
In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Seller is not a member of MERS and the Mortgage is
registered on the MERS® System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable
form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations.
In the event that the Seller elects to substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans for a
Deleted Loan pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Seller shall deliver to the Custodian on behalf of
the Issuer, with respect to such Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note,
with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required under the definition of “Mortgage File” and shall
deliver the other documents required to be part of the Mortgage File to the Servicer. No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Loans in the month of substitution shall
not be part of the Trust Estate and will be retained by the Servicer and remitted by the Servicer
to the Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date, provided that a payment at least equal to the
applicable Monthly Payment for such month in respect of the Deleted Loan has been received by the
Issuer. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Note Payment Account pursuant to the
Servicing Agreement will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Loan for such month and
thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted
Loan. The Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans and the
Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Loan or Loans shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement in all respects, the Seller shall be deemed to
have made the representations and warranties with respect to the Eligible Substitute Loan contained
herein set forth in Section 3.1(b) (other than clauses (viii) (xiii), (xxiv), (xxv)(B), (xxvi) and
(xxvii) thereof and other than clauses (iii) and (ix) thereof in the case of Eligible Substitute
Loans substituted by [_______]); the Seller shall be deemed to have made the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.1(d)(II); as of the date of substitution, and the Seller shall be
deemed to have made a representation and warranty that each Mortgage Loan so substituted is an
Eligible Substitute Loan as of the date of substitution. In addition, the Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or
substitute for any Eligible
13
Substitute Loan as to which a Repurchase Event has occurred as provided
herein. In connection with the substitution of one or more Eligible Substitute Loans for one or
more Deleted Loans, the Servicer shall determine the amount (such amount, a “Substitution
Adjustment Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Eligible
Substitute Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate principal balance of all
such Deleted Loans (after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the
month of substitution that are to be distributed to the Note Payment Account in the month of
substitution). The Seller shall deposit the amount of such shortfall into the Custodial Account on
the date of substitution, without any reimbursement therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which a breach of Section
3.1(b)(xv) has occurred, no substitutions will be allowed unless the Seller pays to the Servicer,
an amount sufficient to indemnify the Trust Fund, Purchaser, Issuer and Indenture Trustee against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or
assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of such representation.
Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the Custodian of written
notification, signed by a Servicing Officer, of the deposit of such Repurchase Price or of such
substitution of an Eligible Substitute Loan (together with the complete related Mortgage File) and
deposit of any applicable Substitution Adjustment Amount as provided above, the Custodian, on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, shall (i) release to the Seller the related Mortgage Note for the
Mortgage Loan being repurchased or substituted for, (ii) cause the Servicer to release to the
Seller any remaining documents in the related Mortgage File which are held by the Servicer, and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be
necessary to vest in the Seller or its respective designee such Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be an asset of the Issuer.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure any breach, or to
repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Purchaser, the
Issuer, the Certificateholders (or the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders) and the
Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders) against the Seller.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section
3.1 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Notes to the Issuer or the Custodian.
In the event that [_______] does not comply with its obligations to repurchase mortgage loans
pursuant to this Agreement, [___] shall repurchase any such mortgage loans but only to the extent
that [_______] is obligated to do so hereunder.

Section 4.1 Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants that, except for the transfer hereunder, it will not sell, pledge,
assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create, incur or assume any Lien on any Mortgage
Loan, or any interest therein. The Seller shall notify the Issuer (in the case of the Mortgage
Loans, as assignee of the Purchaser), of the existence of any Lien (other than as provided above)
on any Mortgage Loan immediately upon discovery thereof; and the Seller shall defend the right,
title and interest of the Issuer (in the case of the Mortgage Loans, as assignee of the Purchaser)
in, to and under the Mortgage Loans against all claims of third parties claiming through or under
the Seller; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to apply to any
Liens for municipal or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or
governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller shall currently be
contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate Proceedings.
ARTICLE V
SERVICING
Section 5.1 Servicing. [___] shall service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and

condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of this Agreement. Except as and to the
extent expressly provided in the Servicing Agreement, [___] and [_______] shall not be under any
liability to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders. [___] or
[_______] and any director, officer, employee or agent of [___] or [_______] may rely in good faith
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting

Section 8.2 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF,
OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND THE OBLIGATIONS,

Section 8.4 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants,
agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity of
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.5 Relationship of Parties. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed
to create a partnership or joint venture among the parties hereto, and the services of [___] shall
be rendered as an independent contractor and not as agent for the Purchaser.
Section 8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original and such counterparts, together,
shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 8.7 Further Agreements. The parties hereto each agree to execute and deliver to
the other such additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 8.8 Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
Purchaser will be purchasing on the Closing Date, and the Seller will be selling on the Closing
Date, the Mortgage Loans, rather than the Purchaser providing a loan to the Seller secured by the
Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat this
transaction for federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the
Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans on the Closing Date. The Purchaser and the Issuer shall each have
the right to review the Mortgage Loans and the Related Documents to determine the characteristics
of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the federal income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage
Loans, and the Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser or the
Issuer in the course of such review.
17
Section 8.9 Successors and Assigns; Assignment of this Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties
hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. The obligations of the Seller under
this Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated to a third party without the consent of the
Purchaser, which consent shall be at the Purchaser’s sole discretion; provided, that the Seller may
assign its obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of the Seller, to any Person succeeding to the
business of the Seller, to any Person into which the Seller is merged and to any Person resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party. The parties hereto
acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of contributing them
to the PRS Series 20[__]-[__] Trust.
(b) As an inducement to the Purchaser and the Issuer to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the
Seller acknowledges and consents to (i) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Issuer of all of the
Purchaser’s rights against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to
the Mortgage Loans transferred to the Issuer and to the enforcement or exercise of any right or
remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Issuer, (ii) the enforcement or
exercise of any right or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of
the Issuer and (iii) the Issuer’s pledge of its interest in this Agreement to the Indenture Trustee
and the enforcement by the Indenture Trustee of any such right or remedy against the Seller
following an Event of Default under the Indenture. Such enforcement of a right or remedy by the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, shall have the same force and
effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser or the Issuer
directly.
Section 8.10 Survival. The representations and warranties made herein by the Seller and
the provisions of Article VI hereof shall survive the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.
18
