3. THE TRANSACTIONS

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Program Documents, Buyer shall, with respect to the Committed Amount and, with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, from time to time in its sole discretion, enter into Transactions with an aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets acquired by Buyer not to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions up to the Committed Amount and shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount. Unless otherwise agreed to between Buyer and Sellers in writing, all purchases of Eligible Assets shall be first deemed committed up to the Committed Amount and then the remainder, if any, shall be deemed uncommitted up to the Uncommitted Amount. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right, upon written notice to Sellers, to terminate any Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount and require the repurchase of any such Purchased Assets within the earlier of (i) the next occurring Repurchase Date or (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days of such notice. Unless otherwise

agreed, a Seller shall request that Buyer enter into a Transaction with respect to any Purchased Loan 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”):

Required Delivery Items	Required Delivery Time	Required Recipient	Required Purchase Time
an Asset Schedule	No later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date	Buyer	No later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the requested Purchase Date
(i) an Asset Schedule and (ii) the Mortgage File for each Loan proposed to be included in such Transaction (whether or not such Loan is subject to a Participation Certificate)	No later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date	Custodian

Each Asset Schedule shall include all Eligible Assets that a Seller proposes to include in the related Transaction. In the event that the parties hereto desire to enter into a Transaction on terms other than as set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver to such Seller, in electronic or other format, a “Confirmation” specifying such terms prior to entering into such Transaction, including, without limitation, the Purchase Date and the Purchase Price therefor. Any such Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed to between Buyer and such Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Asset Schedule relates. By entering into a Transaction with Buyer, the related Seller consents to the terms set forth in any related Confirmation. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Confirmation, the terms of the Confirmation shall control with respect to the related Transaction. It is acknowledged and agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the facility with respect to the Uncommitted Amount provided under this Agreement is an uncommitted facility and Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into any Transactions hereunder.

(b) Upon a Seller’s request to enter into a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(a), Buyer shall, in its sole discretion, assuming all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3 and in Sections 9(a) and (b) have been met, and provided no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, not later than the required time on the requested Purchase Date set forth in the table above (the “Required Purchase Time”) purchase the Eligible Assets included on the related Asset Schedule (or the proportionate increase in the value of the REO Equity Interests to be sold by a Seller to Buyer in connection with a Conveyance of Eligible Underlying Assets included on the related Asset Schedule to REO Entity, as the case may be) by transferring, via wire transfer (pursuant to wire transfer instructions provided by such Seller on or prior to such Purchase Date) in immediately available funds, the Purchase Price.

(c) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price paid in connection with any Purchased Loan that is purchased in any Transaction includes a mutually negotiated premium allocable to the portion of such Purchased Loan that constitutes the related Servicing Rights.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBO Base Rate:

(i) Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBO Base Rate” in Section 2 are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Transactions as provided herein; or

(ii) Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the Applicable Margin plus the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBO Base Rate” in Section 2 upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Transactions is to be determined is not likely adequately to cover the cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding Assets hereunder; or

(iii) it becomes unlawful for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on the LIBO Base Rate;

then Buyer shall give Sellers prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Buyer shall be under no obligation to purchase Assets hereunder, and the related Seller shall, at its option, either repurchase such Assets or pay a Pricing Rate at a rate per annum as determined by Buyer taking into account the increased cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding the Assets.

(e) The related Seller shall repurchase 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. Such Seller is obligated to obtain the Purchased Assets (including the related Underlying Assets) from Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at such Seller’s expense on (or after) the related Repurchase Date.

(f) Provided that the applicable conditions in Sections 9(a) and (b) have been satisfied, each Purchased Asset shall automatically become subject to a new Transaction on the related Repurchase Date (other than a Repurchase Date occurring on the Termination Date) unless the related Seller is notified otherwise by Buyer at least one (1) Business Day prior to such Repurchase Date. Unless such Seller is so notified, Buyer shall purchase the related Eligible Assets (or the proportionate increase in the value of the REO Equity Interests to be sold by a Seller to Buyer in connection with a Conveyance of Eligible Underlying Assets to REO Entity, as the case may be) pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3(c); provided that if the Repurchase Date so determined is later than the Termination Date, the Repurchase Date for such Transaction shall automatically reset to the Termination Date, and the provisions of this sentence as it might relate to a new Transaction shall expire on such date. For each new Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Pricing Side Letter.

(g) If the related Seller intends to repurchase any Assets (or with respect to the REO Equity Interests, the proportionate value thereof related to one or more Underlying Assets) on any day which is not a Repurchase Date, such Seller shall use its best efforts to give one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice thereof to Buyer. If such notice is given, the Repurchase Price specified in such notice shall be due

and payable on the date specified therein, together with the Price Differential to such date on the amount prepaid. Such early repurchases shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000.

(h) If any Seller requests that Buyer reduce the size of the Committed Amount, including a reduction in the Committed Amount to $0 (whether or not there are any outstanding Transactions with respect to the Committed Amount at such time) or terminate this Agreement, in each case prior to the Termination Date, at the request of Buyer, such Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any losses, costs and/or expenses which Buyer may sustain or incur arising from such repurchase, which losses, costs and/or expenses shall be equal to the sum of: (a) the product of (1) the amount by which the Committed Amount is reduced (which shall in the case of termination of this Agreement or reduction in the Committed Amount to $0 be the full amount of the Committed Amount), (2) the difference between (A) the related Pricing Rate and (B) Buyer’s cost of funds, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, and (3) the number of days until the next scheduled Repurchase Date, divided by 360, and (b) fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (“Breakage Costs”). Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in such detail as determined in good faith by Buyer to be adequate, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be adequate and shall be conclusive and binding upon Sellers, absent manifest error. The provisions of this Section 3(h) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder.

(i) If any Requirement of Law 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 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 the LIBO Base Rate hereunder;

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

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, Sellers shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased costs or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred.

If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time,

Sellers shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate Buyer for such reduction.

If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Sellers of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Buyer to Sellers shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(j) With respect to each Purchased Participation Certificate that is subject to a Transaction hereunder, the Security that is issued on the related Conversion Date (provided it is an Eligible Security) shall replace the Participation Certificate as the Purchased Asset, and from and after such Conversion Date, the Purchased Asset subject to such Transaction shall be the Purchased Security. For the avoidance of doubt, any Eligible Security that is issued with respect to the Eligible Loans underlying a Purchased Participation Certificate shall, on the related Conversion Date, replace the Purchased Participation Certificate and automatically become subject to the Transaction to which the Purchased Participation Certificate was subject. On or prior to the related Purchase Date, the related Seller shall deliver to Buyer a duly executed Trade Assignment together with a copy of the Takeout Commitment with respect to the Related Security.

(k) It is a condition precedent to Buyer entering into any Transaction related to an REO Equity Interest hereunder that Buyer (or its designee) shall have received the original, certificated REO Equity Interests and a bond or stock power representing the endorsement thereof in blank. Upon the sale and transfer of the REO Equity Interests by the related Seller to Buyer and such endorsement as set forth herein and until the satisfaction of all Obligations, ownership of the REO Equity Interests shall be vested in Buyer until such time as such REO Equity Interests are repurchased by such Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Buyer’s exercise of its rights under and in accordance with Section 19, Buyer shall return the REO Equity Interests to such Seller within one (1) Business Day of the satisfaction of all Obligations.

(l) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred:

(i) The related Seller shall be permitted and is hereby authorized to exercise all voting and direction rights inuring to the stockholder of the shares of the Capital Stock in REO Entity representing the REO Equity Interests under the REO Entity Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or direction right exercised or other action taken which would impair such REO Equity Interests or REO Entity or Buyer’s rights to the REO Equity Interests or the Unwind Rights, or which would otherwise be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement, any other Program Document or any Structural Document.

(ii) Without the prior written consent of Buyer, no Seller shall (a) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit REO Entity to issue any equity interests of any nature or to issue any other equity interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any equity interests of REO Entity, or (b) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to the REO Equity Interests or (c) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to the REO Equity Interests or any interest therein, except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement, or (d) enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) or other undertaking restricting the right or ability of a Seller to sell, pledge, assign or transfer the certificate evidencing the REO Equity Interests.

(iii) Buyer shall not, without the related Seller’s prior written consent, exercise any voting or direction inuring to it with respect to the REO Equity Interests under the REO Entity

Agreement, except to the extent that such voting or direction right inures to Buyer in a capacity other than as stockholder of the shares of the Capital Stock in REO Entity representing the REO Equity Interests.

(m) At any time that a Seller conveys a Purchased Asset that is an Eligible Loan to REO Entity (each, a “Conveyance”), (i) the legal and beneficial title in such Loan shall be immediately vested in REO Entity, (ii) the Buyer’s Lien on such Loan shall be released and simultaneously replaced by an increase in the value of the REO Equity Interests that is proportionate to the outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Loan, and (iii) such increased value in the REO Equity Interests shall be deemed to be part of the same Transaction as the Loan without the need to effect a repurchase of the Loan (unless such Loan is no longer an Eligible Loan) or a new Transaction with respect to the increased value of the REO Equity Interests.

(n) With respect to any Purchased Asset that is an Eligible Loan sold by PMH to Buyer in a Transaction, in the event that such Purchased Asset is subsequently sold by PMH to PMC, PMC may pledge such Purchased Asset under the PMC/POP Repurchase Agreement as a Repledge Asset, provided that PMH provides notice thereof to Buyer and such Repledge Asset is and continues to be an Eligible Loan, from and after the related Conversion Date, PMH shall be deemed to have repurchased such Purchased Asset hereunder, PMC shall be deemed to have pledged such Repledge Asset to POP under the PMC/POP Repurchase Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have purchased such Repledge Asset as a Purchased Asset from POP hereunder and the Transaction governing such Purchased Asset shall thereafter be between POP and Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, any Eligible Loan sold by PMH to Buyer in a Transaction that is subsequently sold by PMH to PMC, and thereafter becomes subject to a Repledge Transaction under the PMC/POP Repurchase Agreement as a Repledge Asset shall, on the related Conversion Date, be replaced by such Repledge Asset as the Purchased Asset, which Repledge Asset shall automatically become subject to the Transaction to which the Eligible Loan was subject.

(o) With respect to any Purchased Asset that is (x) a Repledge Asset and (y) an Agency Eligible Loan and that is sold by POP to Buyer in a Transaction, POP may desire that such Purchased Asset becomes a Pooled Loan. In such event, PMC many repurchase such Repledge Asset under the PMC/POP Repurchase Agreement, provided that POP provides notice thereof to Buyer and such Agency Eligible Loan continues to be an Eligible Loan. From and after the related Conversion Date, POP shall be deemed to have repurchased such Purchased Asset hereunder, Buyer shall be deemed to have purchased such Agency Eligible Loan as a Purchased Asset from PMC hereunder and the Transaction governing such Purchased Asset shall thereafter be between PMC and Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, any Repledge Asset that is an Agency Eligible Loan sold by POP to Buyer in a Transaction for which POP desires that such Agency Eligible Loan become a Pooled Loan, if such Repledge Asset is repurchased by PMC under the PMC/POP Repurchase Agreement, such Agency Eligible Loan shall on the related Conversion Date automatically replace the Repledge Loan as the Transaction to which such Repledge Asset was subject.

4. PAYMENTS; COMPUTATION

(a) Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments to be made by a Seller under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer at JPMorgan Chase Bank, NY, Account Number 066709350, A/C Name: RBSFI, ABA# 000000000, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Each Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

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

(c) Commitment Fee. Sellers shall pay to Buyer the Commitment Fee, such payment to be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim. The Commitment Fee shall be deemed fully earned, due and payable on the Effective Date; provided that Sellers may pay the Commitment Fee in quarterly installments with the first installment to be paid on the Effective Date and the remaining installments thereafter to be paid on the Repurchase Date occurring in every third month thereafter. Buyer may, in its sole discretion, net the Commitment Fee from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid to a Seller. Each installment of the Commitment Fee is and shall be non-refundable when paid.

(d) Non-Utilization Fee. On a quarterly basis and on the Termination Date, Buyer shall determine the average quarterly utilization during the preceding quarter (or with respect to the Termination Date, during the period from the date through which the last non-utilization fee calculation has been made to the Termination Date) by Sellers by dividing (a) the sum of the Purchase Prices outstanding on each day during such period, by (b) the number of days in such period. If such average amount determined for any period as a percentage of the Committed Amount (the “Utilization Percentage”) is less than the Utilization Threshold, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Non-Utilization Fee due for such related period on the applicable dates specified in the Pricing Side Letter; provided that Sellers shall not be obligated to pay any Non-Utilization Fee to Buyer for any period with respect to which the Utilization Percentage in such period is greater than or equal to the Utilization Threshold. All payments shall be made to Buyer in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, setoff or counterclaim. Buyer may, in its sole discretion, net such Non-Utilization Fee from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid to a Seller. Each payment of the Non-Utilization Fee is and shall be deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable when paid.

(e) Funding Fee. For each Transaction or portion thereof that is with respect to the Uncommitted Amount and in respect of Delinquent Assets, the related Seller shall pay to Buyer a Funding Fee on the initial Purchase Date of each such Transaction. Buyer may, in its sole discretion, net such Funding Fee from the Purchase Price paid to such Seller on the related initial Purchase Date.

5. TAXES; TAX TREATMENT

(a) All payments made by Sellers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (ii) taxes attributable to a Buyer’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring after the date such Buyer becomes a party to this Agreement) to comply with Section 5(d) hereof, and (iii) any U.S. federal withholding tax that is imposed pursuant to FATCA (collectively, all such non-excluded taxes, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by the related Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If a Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding; (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives,

free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

(b) In addition, each Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer shall have provided such Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to such Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d) Any Buyer that is a “United States person” (as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to Seller (and such additional copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Buyer become a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form certifying that such Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Each such Buyer shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered; provided it is legally able to do so at the time. Any Buyer that is not United States person (a “Foreign Buyer”) shall provide Sellers with properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. Each Foreign Buyer will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Foreign Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide Sellers with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 5(d) (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 shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 5(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Sellers shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Sellers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Sellers contained in this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 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.

(f) If a payment made to a Buyer under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or

times reasonably requested by Seller, such document prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its respective obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat the Transactions as indebtedness of Sellers to Buyer that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Sellers. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no position for such tax purposes inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

6. MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) If at any time either (i) the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate MV Margin Amount for all such Transactions, or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance (or in the case of REO Property, the REO Valuation) of the Purchased Assets for all Transactions is less than the aggregate Par Margin Amount for all such Transactions (either such event, a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may, by notice to the related Seller, require such Seller in such Transactions to transfer to Buyer cash or, at Buyer’s option (and provided such Seller has additional Eligible Assets), additional Eligible Assets (“Additional Purchased Assets”) within one (1) Business Day of such notice by Buyer, so that both (x) the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets, including any such Additional Purchased Assets, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate MV Margin Amount, and (y) the cash and unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Assets, including any such Additional Purchased Assets and Purchased Assets, will therefore equal or exceed such aggregate Par Margin Amount (either requirement, a “Margin Call”); provided that if such Seller transfers cash, Buyer shall deposit such cash into a non-interest bearing account until the next succeeding Repurchase Date.

(b) Notice required pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by (i) by any means provided in Section 21 hereof, (ii) via electronic mail in an excel spreadsheet format, or (iii) in such other format acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion. Any notice given on a Business Day preceding 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day. Any notice given on a Business Day following 12:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Section 6, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Sellers and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Sellers.

7. INCOME PAYMENTS

(a) Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset (or related Underlying Asset) subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Sellers shall cause the related Servicer to (i) segregate all Income collected with respect to the Purchased Assets and related Underlying Assets and hold such Income in trust for the benefit of Buyer and (ii) deposit all such Income to the applicable Collection Account two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, all Income collected by such Servicer in respect of any Purchased Assets and related Underlying Assets hereunder shall be remitted directly to the

applicable Collection Account and shall not be remitted to any account established by Sellers or REO Entity.

(b) Withdrawal of any Income on deposit in the applicable Collection Account shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 13(z) hereof.

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

(a) Sellers and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, the related Servicing Rights) and not loans from Buyer to the related 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 recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for such Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, each Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of such Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired:

(i) all Purchased Assets identified on an Asset Schedule delivered by Seller to Buyer and the Custodian from time to time;

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

(iii) the Servicing Records, and the related Servicing Rights;

(iv) each Collection Account and all Income on deposit therein;

(v) in connection with a Repledge Transaction, all of POP’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Repledge Transactions and the Repledge Program Documents and all of POP’s rights against and in respect of PMC related to the Repledge Transactions;

(vi) all mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Purchased Assets and all claims and payments thereunder and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing;

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

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

(ix) all Interest Rate Protection Agreements relating to and to the extent of any or all of the foregoing, if any;

(x) any purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts or take-out commitments relating to and to the extent of the foregoing and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto;

(xi) all Takeout Commitments and Trade Assignments related to and to the extent of the Purchased Assets (including the rights to receive the related Takeout Price and the Related Security as evidenced by such Trade Assignments);

(xii) all FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts and VA Loan Guaranty Agreements relating to such Purchased Assets;

(xii) 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 related to the Purchased Assets and all cash and Cash Equivalents and all products and proceeds relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing; and

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

Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest such Seller may have in the Purchased Loans and any other collateral granted by such 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. Each Seller further acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Seller or a Servicer is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, such Seller or such Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have sold and delivered any of its rights and ownership interests in and to the Servicing Rights and the physical and contractual servicing of such Purchased Loans to Buyer and to the extent such conveyance is not deemed to be a sale of the Servicing Rights to Buyer, such Seller grants, assigns and pledges and such Seller shall direct such Servicer to grant, assign and pledge to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Loans. In addition, each Seller further grants, assigns and pledges and each Seller shall direct such Servicer to grant, assign and pledge to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to all Servicing Records and rights to receive Servicing Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File with respect to each of the Purchased Loans and Related Loans underlying the Purchased Participation Certificates, and all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by such Servicer, and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing. In addition to the foregoing, and in order to preserve Buyer’s Lien on the Purchased Items in the event of a Conveyance of any Purchased Asset, REO Entity hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of REO Entity’s rights, title and interest in and to the Underlying Assets and all of the property identified in items (i) through (xiv) above relating to the Underlying Assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired. PMC grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Repledge Assets subject to a Repledge Transaction and all other Purchased Items (as such term is defined in the PMC/POP Repurchase Agreement), and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing,. Each of the foregoing security grants shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Related Credit Enhancement”. This paragraph is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and transactions hereunder as defined under Section 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. The pledge of the Related Credit Enhancement is intended to be a guaranty of, and further security for, each Seller’s Obligations to the Buyer by each such Seller and REO Entity to the extent of its Assets.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense of Sellers, Sellers 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. Sellers also hereby authorize 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.

(b) Each Seller shall not and shall not permit REO Entity to (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 12(l) hereof, (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Purchased Items, or (iii) 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.

(c) Each 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 such Seller and in the name of such Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items, to file 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, each Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of such Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, such Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred that has not been waived by Buyer in writing in its sole discretion, to do the following:

(i) in the name of such 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 related Seller, the related Servicer and any applicable Subservicer and Section 404 Notices on behalf of Buyer; (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 a 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 Sellers’ 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 a Seller might do.

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

Each Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred that has not been waived by Buyer in its sole discretion in writing, 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.

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

(e) If a 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 Sellers to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations.

(f) Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Purchased Items in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Purchased Items or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of a Seller or otherwise.

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

19. REMEDIES

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(g), (h), (i) or (j) hereof), shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(a)(i) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, 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 shall be deemed immediately canceled). The applicable 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 then on deposit in the applicable Collection Account, and 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 such Seller hereunder; such Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee any and all original papers, Servicing Records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in such 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 such Seller repurchases any Purchased Asset pursuant to this Section 19(a)(i), Buyer shall cooperate with Seller in delivering any and all original papers, records and files relating to such Purchased Asset then in its possession and/or control.

(ii) Buyer shall have the right to exercise the Unwind Rights and sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 19(a)(i) 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 or the Underlying Assets on a servicing released basis. Buyer may purchase any or all of the Purchased Assets or the Underlying Assets at any public or private sale. Sellers shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets and the Underlying Assets shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to Breakage Costs, if any, costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations.

(iii) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and declare all obligations of Sellers to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in accordance with Section 21 hereof provided no such notice shall be required for an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18(g),(h),(i) or (j) hereof.

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets or the Underlying 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 or the Underlying Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets or the Underlying 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 or Underlying Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset or Underlying Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets or the Underlying Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or 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, each 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, 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) days before such sale or other disposition.

(b) Each Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that such Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of such Seller to which such Seller pledges its full faith and credit. In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of such Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or their respective designees (including the Custodian in its capacity as custodian for Buyer), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by such Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and the Underlying Assets and Additional Purchased Assets, any other Purchased Items and their proceeds and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to such Seller against all of such Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(c) Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records and all other files of each Seller and REO Entity relating to the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of such Seller, REO Entity or any third party acting for such Seller or REO Entity and such Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request.

(d) Buyer shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets consisting of Purchased Loans and Related Loans to take such action with respect thereto as Buyer determines appropriate.

(e) Buyer shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder or by law to do. Sellers shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver.

(f) Buyer may, at its option, enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Assets and Underlying Assets, and Sellers shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Buyer relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements; including without limitation any losses resulting from such Interest Rate Protection Agreements.

(g) 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.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies 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 Sellers.

Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right such Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense such Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets and the Underlying Assets and any other Purchased Items or from any other election of remedies. Each 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.

Sellers shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Underlying Assets to be deposited with such Person as Buyer may direct after receipt thereof. Sellers shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate), including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred within thirty (30) days of the Event of Default in connection with hedging or covering transactions related to the Purchased Assets, the Underlying 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, 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 they so desire, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies.

21. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein and under the Custodial Agreement (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including, without limitation by facsimile or email) delivered to the intended recipient at the address of such Person set forth in this Section 21 below; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given by a Seller under Section 3(a) (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by facsimile or email or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.

23. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES.

(a) Each Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, the “Costs”) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Assets 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. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Asset, each 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 a 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 such Seller. Each Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s 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. Each Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligations of such Seller under this Agreement are recourse obligations of such Seller.

(b) Each Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of pocket costs and expenses 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. Each Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (i) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer 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 Sections 23, 38 and 43 hereof; provided that Sellers shall not be obligated to pay for expenses in excess of $125,000 in the aggregate to the extent incurred prior to the Effective Date pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above. Each Seller also agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, 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.

(c) If any 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 such Seller by Buyer (including without limitation by Buyer netting such amount from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid by Buyer to such Seller hereunder), in its sole discretion and such Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under the Program Documents.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of each Seller contained in this Section 23 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, 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.

24. WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS

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

25. REIMBURSEMENT

All sums reasonably expended by Buyer in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein shall be and remain each Seller’s obligation (unless and to the extent that such Seller is the prevailing party in any dispute, claim or action relating thereto).

(b) The obligations of each Seller under Sections 3(h), 3(i), 5, 23 and 25 hereof and any other reimbursement or indemnity obligation of such Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Program Document shall survive the repurchase of the Assets hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Each representation and warranty made by a Seller, or deemed to be made by such Seller by a request for a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of entering into any such Transaction, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such purchase was made.

28. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of any Program Document is declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of the Program Documents, and each Program Document shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

29. BINDING EFFECT; GOVERNING LAW

(D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO XXX IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Each Seller hereby acknowledges that:

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

(b) Buyer has no fiduciary relationship to such Seller; and

37. HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ITEMS.

Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets or other Purchased Items delivered to Buyer by any Seller.

38. ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS.

(a) A Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder only with the prior written consent of Buyer. Buyer may assign or transfer to any bank or other financial institution that makes or invests in repurchase agreements or loans or any Affiliate of Buyer all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents.

(b) 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 Assets, 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 Sellers shall remain unchanged, Buyer shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and Sellers 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. Sellers agree 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. Buyer also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3(i) and 23 with respect to its participation in the Assets and Purchased Items outstanding from time to time; provided, that Buyer and all Participants shall be entitled to receive no greater amount in the aggregate pursuant to such Sections than Buyer would have been entitled to receive had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Buyer may furnish any information concerning Sellers, REO Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the possession of Buyer from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants) only after notifying Sellers in writing and securing signed confidentiality statements (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H) and only for the sole purpose of evaluating assignments or participations and for no other purpose.

(d) Sellers agree to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment and/or participation, 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 and/or participation. Sellers further agree to furnish to any Participant identified by Buyer to Sellers copies of all reports and certificates to be delivered by Sellers to Buyer hereunder, as and when delivered to Buyer.

39. SINGLE AGREEMENT

Sellers 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, Sellers 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, and (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.

40. INTENT

(a) Sellers and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(i) of Title 11 of the USC, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of Title 11 of the USC, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of Title 11 of the USC, and that the pledge of the Related Credit Enhancement in Section 8(a) hereof is intended to constitute “a security agreement 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)(x) of Title 11 of the USC.

(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 Sections 555, 559 and 561 of Title 11 of the USC.

(c) 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.

(d) 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

The Program Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by Sellers in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Buyer except for (i) disclosure to a Seller’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions or (ii) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or (iii) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Interest Rate Protection Agreement hereunder or (iv) any disclosures or filing required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws; provided that in the case of (ii), (iii) and (iv), Sellers shall take reasonable actions to provide Buyer with prior written notice; provided further that in the case of (iv), Sellers shall not file any of the Program Documents other than the Agreement or the Guaranty with the SEC or state securities office unless Sellers shall have provided at least thirty (30) days (or such lesser time as may be demanded by the SEC or state securities office) prior written notice of such filing to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party (and each employee,

representative, or other agent of each party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, tax treatment and tax structure shall not include (i) the identity of any existing or future party (or any Affiliate of such party) to this Agreement or (ii) any specific pricing information or other commercial terms, including the amount of any fees, expenses, rates or payments arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that this Agreement may be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided that, Sellers shall redact any pricing and other confidential provisions, including, without limitation, the amount of any Price Differential and Purchase Price from such filed Agreement.

42. SERVICING

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 42, Seller shall not permit any Person other than a Servicer to service Assets without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) Subject to Section 42(e) below, Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Purchased Loans and Underlying Assets to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices and pursuant to the related underlying Servicing Agreement. 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 (e) below, (ii) thirty (30) days after the last Purchase Date of such Purchased Loan or Underlying Asset, (iii) a Default or an Event of Default, (iv) the date on which all the Obligations have been paid in full, or (v) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity. Upon any such termination, Seller shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 13(y) as to the delivery of the Servicing Records and the physical servicing of each Purchased Loan.

(c) During the period the applicable Seller or a Servicer is servicing the Purchased Loans and Underlying Assets, (i) such Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Records, 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) such Seller grants and shall direct such Servicer to grant to Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Loans and Underlying Assets and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of such Servicer or its designee to service in conformity with this Section 43 and any other obligation of such Seller to Buyer. At all times during the term of this Agreement, such Seller shall direct such Servicer to hold such Servicing Records in trust for Buyer and to safeguard, or cause each Subservicer to safeguard, such Servicing Records.

(d) If any Asset that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a Servicer or a servicer other than Servicer (including any interim servicer) (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Purchased Loan or Underlying Asset is to be transferred to a Subservicer, the applicable Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement with an Instruction Letter executed by the related Servicer and/or such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Purchase Date or transfer date, as applicable, which Servicing Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. In addition, such Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Assets, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion. All Subservicers shall be listed on Schedule 5 attached hereto. Initially, Sellers shall not use a Subservicer.

(e) In addition to the rights provided in Section 42(a), Buyer shall have the right, exercisable at any time in its sole discretion, upon written notice, to terminate any of any Servicer or Subservicer as servicer or subservicer, respectively, of any of the Purchased Loans and Underlying Assets and any related Servicing Agreement free and clear of any obligations (including without limitation any obligation to pay or reimburse any previous servicer for outstanding servicing advances). Upon any such termination, the applicable Seller shall or shall direct each Servicer to transfer or shall cause Subservicer to transfer such servicing with respect to such Purchased Loans and Underlying Assets to Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer. Such Seller agrees to and shall direct each Servicer or Subservicer to cooperate with Buyer in connection with the transfer of servicing.

(f) Subject to Section 13(m), none of Seller or any Servicer will have any right to modify or alter, or consent to the modification or alteration of, the terms of any Purchased Loan or any Underlying Asset.

(g) Each Seller shall permit Buyer to inspect, upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time, such Seller’s or any of its Servicer’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that such Seller or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Assets as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Servicer and Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of a Seller, such Seller shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Servicer and any such Subservicer and to cause such Servicer or Subservicer to cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees in connection with any due diligence performed by Buyer and/or such designees in accordance with this Section 42(g).

43. PERIODIC DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW

Each Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Program Document, or otherwise, and each Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than three (3) Business Days) prior notice to such Seller or a Servicer (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 Loans in the possession, or under the control, of such Seller, REO Entity, such Servicer and/or the Custodian. Each Seller also shall and shall direct such Servicer to make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Assets, the Asset Files and the Underlying Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall purchase Loans from such Seller based solely upon the information provided by such Seller to Buyer in the Asset 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 Loans, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports, new appraisals or BPOs on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Each 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 access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Loans in the possession, or under the control, of such Seller. In addition, Buyer has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews of Servicer, each Seller and its Affiliates, directors, and their respective Subsidiaries and the officers, employees and significant shareholders thereof. Sellers 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 44 shall be paid by Sellers, subject to Section 23(b) hereof.

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 Sellers, any such notice being expressly waived by Sellers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Seller. Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to any Seller or any of its Affiliates against all of such Seller’s or any of its Affiliates obligations to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any such parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Sellers 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 by a duly authorized representative of each party hereto.

Schedule 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: ASSETS

As to each Asset that is subject to a Transaction (whether directly as a Purchased Asset or indirectly as an Underlying Asset) hereunder, the applicable Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Purchase Date and as of each date such Asset is subject to a Transaction:

Part I. Representations and Warranties with respect to Loans (other than Loans that are Delinquent Assets)

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

(b) Payments Current. The first Monthly Payment shall have been made prior to the second scheduled Monthly Payment becoming due.

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Loan, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.

(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 and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the title insurance policy, and its terms are reflected on the Asset Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule.

(e) No Defenses. The Loan is not subject to any right of Rescission, setoff, 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 and no such right of Rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Loan was originated.

(f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, and Agency Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured

Schedule 1-1

against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “Hazard Insurance Policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller or the Subservicer, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of the Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums due and owing on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” Hazard Insurance Policy covering a condominium, or any Hazard Insurance Policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The Hazard Insurance Policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, all applicable predatory and abusive lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of such Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations.

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole-or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or Rescission 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 Underwriting Guidelines. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform

Schedule 1-2

with the applicable Agency requirements regarding such dwellings, that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes. The Mortgaged Property is not the subject of a foreclosure proceeding and the related Mortgagor is not the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

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

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

(2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable First Lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Loan on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Loan are genuine and in full force and effect, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to no right of Rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense. 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 such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. The related Note has not been extinguished under relevant state law in connection with a judgment of foreclosure or foreclosure sale or otherwise.

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Loan and the recording of

Schedule 1-3

the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Note or Mortgage.

(m) Ownership. Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Loan. All Loans acquired by Seller from third parties (including affiliates) were acquired in a true and legal sale pursuant to which such third party sold, transferred, conveyed and assigned to Seller all of its right, title and interest in, to and under such Loan and retained no interest in such Loan. In connection with such sale, such third party received reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration and, in accordance with GAAP and for federal income tax purposes, reported the sale of such Loan to Seller as a sale of its interests in such Loan. The Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign 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 assign, transfer and pledge each Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the pledge 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 such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(n) Doing Business. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, all parties which have had any interest in the Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, (D) not doing business in such state or (e) not otherwise required to be qualified to do business in such state.

(o) LTV. As of the date of origination of the Loan, the LTV is as identified on the Asset Schedule. If such Loan is a Jumbo Loan, the LTV for such Loan is not greater than 80%.

(p) Title Insurance. The Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this Part I of Schedule 1, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received,

Schedule 1-4

retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(q) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

(r) No Mechanics’ Liens. At origination, there were no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with the lien of the Mortgage.

(s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation.

(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Monthly Payments on the Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted, with respect to Adjustable Rate Loans, on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. With respect to each Loan, the Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Asset fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty (30) years from commencement of amortization. No Loan is a Negative Amortization Loan. No Loan is an Interest Only Loan.

(u) Customary Provisions. The Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.

(v) Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines and Agency Standards. The Loan was underwritten in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines or Agency Guidelines. The Note and Mortgage are on forms similar to those used by Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae and Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used.

Schedule 1-5

(w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, as of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is either vacant or lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received written notification from any governmental authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. Except as otherwise set forth in the Asset Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence.

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

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

The Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

(dd) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the origination of the Loan have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having First Lien priority with respect to each Loan by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie

Schedule 1-6

Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Loan.

With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made.

Schedule 1-11

redemption that inure to the related Mortgagor under applicable law. The related deed is in recordable form and is acceptable in all respects for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the REO Property is located and has been properly recorded (or will be properly recorded or properly submitted for recording within one (1) Business Day of the related foreclosure sale) in the name of REO Entity to the applicable recording office.

for any and all charges, payment amounts, cancellation fees or other fees in connection with any such agreements, unless Buyer affirmatively assumes such agreements.

(k) Reserved.

(l) No Violation of Law. None of Seller, REO Entity or the related Servicer has received any written notice that there exists a material and adverse violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the REO Property. There has been no violation of any law or regulation or breach of any contractual obligation contained in any agreement included in the REO Property File, by Seller or the related Servicer in connection with the management of the REO Property in each case which is material and adverse to the Buyer.

(m) No Hazardous Materials. There is no condition affecting any REO Property (x) relating to lead paint, radon, asbestos or other hazardous materials, (y) requiring remediation of any condition or (z) relating to a claim which could impose liability upon, diminish rights of or otherwise adversely affect Buyer.

(n) No Condemnation Proceeding. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the REO Property.

(o) No Non-terminable Leases. There are no existing lease agreements with any tenant with respect to the REO Property which are not terminable upon the expiration of any notice period required by applicable law.

(p) Acquisition and Collection Practices. The REO Properties were acquired by REO Entity, and the collection practices used by or on behalf of Seller and REO Entity with respect to the REO Properties have been, in all material respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the REO property servicing business.

(q) Appraisal. The applicable REO Property File contains an Appraisal or a BPO of the related REO Property, and the Appraisal or BPO, as applicable, and appraiser or real estate agent or broker, as applicable, both satisfy the requirements of FIRREA.

Part IV: Representations and Warranties with respect to Loans that are Delinquent Assets

(a) Future Funding. There are no future funding obligations on the part of REO Entity, the related Servicer, Seller or Buyer or any other Person with respect to such Loan.

(b) Lost Instrument Affidavits. In the event any Asset File contains a lost instrument affidavit in lieu of a Note, such lost instrument affidavit, and accompanying assignment, will be sufficient to effect the transfer of title to the related Loan, without the need for a judicial proceeding, administrative action, court or regulatory order, or similar action or order.

(c) No Rescission, Set-off. The Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including 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 the defense of usury, and no right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto and no Mortgagor in respect of the Loan was a

Schedule 1-13

debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Loan was originated.

(d) No Mechanics’ Liens. There is no mechanics’ lien or similar lien or claim (or circumstances giving rise to the right on anyone’s part to file such a lien or make such a claim) for work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged Property, which is or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of the Mortgage and there are no outstanding rights that could give rise to any such liens.

(e) Compliance with Law. The origination, servicing, collection, and foreclosure practices used by Seller, REO Entity, the related Servicer and their predecessors in interest with respect to each Loan have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing business. Any and all federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations and requirements including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, all applicable predatory and abusive lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Loans have been complied with.

(f) Title Policy. The Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this Part I of Schedule 1, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(g) Hazard Insurance. With respect to the Loans, either (i) the improvements upon a Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing fire and hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and that is endorsed with a standard mortgagee clause with losses payable to Seller or REO Entity, as applicable, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the unpaid principal balance of such Loans, (B) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, or (C) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a

Schedule 1-14

replacement cost basis; or (ii) the related Servicer maintains a blanket policy that insures against fire and hazards and provides for extended coverage on the Loans for which no insurance of the type described in clause (i) exists and which names Seller or REO Entity, as applicable, as loss payee and provides for coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Loans, without co-insurance. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefore from the Mortgagor. If required by the terms of the applicable Loan, the related Servicer has established and maintained escrow accounts for the collection of hazard insurance premiums from the Mortgagor as permitted by applicable law. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to Buyer’s benefit upon the sale of the beneficial interests in the Loans to Buyer. Such insurance policy requires prior notice to Seller or the related Servicer of termination or cancellation, and no such notice has been received. Seller, REO Entity and the related Servicer have not engaged in, and neither Seller nor REO Entity has any knowledge of the Mortgagor having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of any endorsements provided herein, or the validity and binding effect of either

(h) Flood Insurance. For each Loan with respect to which the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, a valid and existing flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage of not less than the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of such Loan, or (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under applicable federal law, rules and regulations, has been endorsed.

(i) Binding Mortgages and Notes. Each Mortgage and Note is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding or action in equity or at law). All parties to each Loan has full legal capacity to execute all Loan documents (including the Notes and Mortgages) and convey the estate therein purported to be conveyed, and all Loan documents (including the Notes and Mortgages) have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

(j) Modifications; Mortgages Recorded. The terms of the Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, altered or modified in any material respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if required, or is in the process of being recorded (and, in either case, contained in the Asset File), if necessary, to protect the interest of Buyer, and which has been or will be delivered to Buyer or Custodian. Each original Mortgage was recorded, and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of REO Entity (or are in the process of being recorded, or are, in the opinion of counsel which has been provided to Seller or REO Entity and on which Seller or REO Entity is entitled expressly therein to rely, not required to be recorded).

(k) No Releases. No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in connection with the Loan, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part.

Schedule 1-15

(l) No Condemnation. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is not subject to a condemnation order and there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.

(m) Improvements; No Encroachments. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, all of the improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property.

(n) No Zoning Violation. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, no improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law, rule or regulation. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and the Mortgaged Property is or, if vacant, may be lawfully occupied under applicable law.

(o) Proceeds Disbursed. The proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed, and pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof as of the Purchase Date there is no obligation on the part of Seller, REO Entity or the related Servicer, nor will there be any obligation on the part of the Buyer (or any other mortgagee), to make future advances thereunder, at the option of the Mortgagor or otherwise. Any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefore have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing or recording the Loans were paid.

(p) No Security Except Mortgage. The related Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage.

(q) No Third Party Obligors. There is no obligation on the part of Seller, REO Entity or any other party to make payments in addition to those made by the Mortgagor.

(r) Qualified Trustees. With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Buyer or Custodian (or any other mortgagee) to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

(s) Certain Loan Types. No Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent interest feature, or provides for deferred interest or negative amortization. None of the Mortgaged Property is subject to a land trust.

(t) Due on Sale. The Mortgage contains a customary provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

(u) Note. The related Note has not been extinguished under relevant state law in connection with a judgment of foreclosure or foreclosure sale or otherwise.

(v) Single Rate of Interest, Repayment Term. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan bears a single interest rate (whether fixed or adjustable), as reflected on the Note, and a single repayment term, as is reflected the Asset Schedule.

Schedule 1-16

(w) Benefits of Security. The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including: (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Borrower that would materially interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.

(x) No Hazardous Substances. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, there does not exist any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in CERCLA, or other federal, state or local environmental legislation.

(y) First Lien Mortgage. The Mortgage creates a valid, enforceable and subsisting first lien of record on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, any manufactured home, if a manufactured home is described or referenced in the Mortgage and the Loan is identified as such on the Asset Schedule) and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing, subject to (1) the exceptions to title set forth in the title insurance policy, with respect to the related Loan, which exceptions are generally acceptable to first mortgage lending companies, and (2) such other exceptions to which similar properties are commonly subject and which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid, perfected and enforceable first lien and security interest on the property described therein, of the same priority as the Mortgage, and Seller or REO Entity, as applicable, has the full right to sell and assign the same to Buyer.

(z) Loan as Described. The information set forth in the Asset Schedule with respect to the Loan is complete, true and correct.

(aa) Ground Leases. If a Mortgaged Property is subject to a ground lease, the terms of the ground lease and the rights of the mortgagee and the obligations of the lessor (whether such rights and obligations arise by contract or under law, rule or regulation) comply in all respects with the applicable provisions of HUD’s Handbook 4150.1. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to each such ground lease, (i) the Mortgagee is entitled to notice of each lessee default and is allowed at least 120 calendar days in which to cure any such default before the lessor may terminate such ground lease; (ii) the ground lease is in full force and effect; and (iii) either (A) neither Seller nor REO Entity has received any notice of a default thereunder and there exists no condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would result in a default thereunder or, (B) if Seller, REO Entity or any of its respective Affiliates or the related Servicer has received notice of any default thereunder, such default has been cured.

(bb) Title; No Liens. Seller or REO Entity, as applicable, is the sole owner of and has good and marketable title to the Loan, free and clear of any and all rights (including, without limitation, servicing rights), claims, liens and other interests of any Person and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each such interest in such Loan pursuant to this Agreement, and following the pledge of each such interest in such Loan under the Program Documents, Buyer will hold such interest in such Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Schedule 1-17

(cc) No Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, nor to the best of Seller’s knowledge, threatened against Seller, REO Entity or the related Servicer, which may result in any material impairment of the right or ability of Buyer to obtain marketable title or timely process eviction or foreclosure actions with respect to property secured by such Loan or that could affect the Buyer’s right, title or interest therein or the priority of the Mortgage on the underlying Mortgaged Property.

(dd) Taxes; Assessments. Except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing, there are no delinquent property taxes, governmental assessments, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments, ground rents, insurance premiums or other assessments with respect to any Mortgaged Property.

(ee) Condition of Property. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, each Mortgaged Property is in good condition and repair and free and clear of any damage, waste or condition (including environmental conditions) that would adversely affect the value of such Mortgaged Property or the use for which the premises were intended and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof.

(ff) HOEPA. No Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan, “covered” mortgage loan, “high risk home” mortgage loan, or “predatory” mortgage loan or any other comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal, state or local law, (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or regulations, or any other statute or regulation providing for heightened regulatory scrutiny or assignee liability to holders of such mortgage loans, or (d) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix E).

(gg) Escrow Deposits and Payments. With respect to escrow deposits and payments, if any, all such payments are in the related Servicer’s possession or under its control and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which arrangements for payment have not been made by such Servicer. No escrow deposits or payments or other charges or payments due Seller or REO Entity have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Note.

(hh) Legal Capacity. All parties to the Note and all parties to any agreement affecting the Loan, including, but not limited to, the Mortgage and any assumption or substitution agreement, had legal capacity to enter into, execute and deliver the Note, the Mortgage and any such other agreement related to the Loan and the Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement each have been duly and properly authorized, executed and delivered by such parties.

(ii) Credit Life Insurance. None of Seller, REO Entity or the related Servicer nor any of its predecessors in interest required the placement of single credit life insurance on a Loan as a condition to originating the Loan. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the origination of the Loan. None of the proceeds of the Loan were used to purchase or finance single-premium credit life or disability insurance policies or any comparable insurance.

(jj) Transfer of Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

Schedule 1-18

(kk) Fraud. No fraud with respect to a Loan has taken place on the part of the mortgagor, the originator, any broker or correspondent, or any appraiser, escrow agent, closing agent or title company involved with the origination of the mortgage loan.

(ll) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the Lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.

(mm) Appraisal. The applicable Loan File contains an Appraisal or a BPO of the related Mortgage Property, and the Appraisal or BPO, as applicable, and appraiser or real estate agent or broker, as applicable, both satisfy the requirements of FIRREA.

(nn) Qualified Mortgage. If the Loan is consummated on or after January 10, 2014 (including a Modified Loan), such Loan satisfies the following criteria:

(i) Such Loan is a Qualified Mortgage;

(ii) Such Loan is accurately identified as either a Safe Harbor Qualified Mortgage or a Rebuttable Presumption Qualified Mortgage on the Asset Schedule;

(iv) Such Loan is supported by documentation that evidences compliance with 12 CFR 1026.43 (e) and 12 CFR 1026.43 (c)(2).

(oo) No Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against Seller before any Governmental Authority that questions or challenges the Loan with the Ability to Repay Rule or the QM Rule.

FORM OF CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, dated as of [ ], 201[ ] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Confidentiality Agreement”), between The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and [ ].

In connection with your consideration of a possible or actual acquisition of a participating interest (the “Transaction”) in an advance, note or commitment of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (“Buyer”) pursuant to a Master Repurchase Agreement among Buyer, PennyMac Corp., a Delaware corporation, as seller (“PMC” or “Seller”), PennyMac Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PMH” or “Seller”), and PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“POP” or “Seller”, and together with PMC and PMH, the “Sellers”), dated February 18, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Repurchase Agreement”), you have requested the right to review certain non-public information regarding a Seller that is in the possession of Buyer. In consideration of, and as a condition to, furnishing you with such information and any other information (whether communicated in writing or communicated orally) delivered to you by Buyer or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents or “controlling persons” (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) (such affiliates and other persons being herein referred to collectively as Buyer “Representatives”) in connection with the consideration of a Transaction (such information being herein referred to as “Evaluation Material”), Buyer hereby requests your agreement as follows:

1. The Evaluation Material will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction with Buyer involving you or your affiliates, and unless and until you have completed such Transaction pursuant to a definitive agreement between you or any such affiliate and Buyer, such Evaluation Material will be kept strictly confidential by you and your affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents or controlling persons (such affiliates and other persons being herein referred to collectively as “your Representatives”), except that the Evaluation Material or portions thereof may be disclosed to those of your Representatives who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction with Buyer (it being understood that prior to such disclosure your Representatives will be informed of the confidential nature of the Evaluation Material and shall agree to be bound by this Confidentiality Agreement). You agree to be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by your Representatives.

2. The term “Evaluation Material” does not include any information which (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally known by the public (other than as a result of its disclosure by you or your Representatives) or (ii) was or becomes available to you on a nonconfidential basis from a person not otherwise bound by a confidential agreement with Buyer or its Representatives or is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to you. As used in this Confidentiality Agreement, the term “person” shall be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation, any corporation, company, joint venture, partnership or individual.

3. In the event that you receive a request to disclose all or any part of the information contained in the Evaluation Material under the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to (i) immediately notify Buyer and such Seller of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request, (ii) consult with such Seller on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request, and (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, exercise your best efforts to

H-1

obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

4. Unless otherwise required by law in the opinion of your counsel, neither you nor your Representative will, without our prior written consent, disclose to any person the fact that the Evaluation Material has been made available to you.

5. You agree not to initiate or maintain contact (except for those contacts made in the ordinary course of business) with any officer, director or employee of such Seller regarding the business, operations, prospects or finances of such Seller or the employment of such officer, director or employee, except with the express written permission of such Seller.

6. You agree to comply with any and all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances governing or relating to privacy rights in connection with its performance under this Confidentiality Agreement including, without limitation, the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act.

7. You understand and acknowledge that such Seller is not making any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Evaluation Material or any other information provided to you by Buyer. None of such Seller, its respective affiliates or Representatives, nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) shall have any liability to you or any other person (including, without limitation, any of your Representatives) resulting from your use of the Evaluation Material.

8. You agree that neither Buyer nor such Seller has granted you any license, copyright, or similar right with respect to any of the Evaluation Material or any other information provided to you by Buyer.

9. If you determine that you do not wish to proceed with the Transaction, you will promptly deliver to Buyer all of the Evaluation Material, including all copies and reproductions thereof in your possession or in the possession of any of your Representatives.

10. Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to such Seller, such Seller shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction if you or any of your Representatives breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement. You agree to waive, and to cause your Representatives to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

11. The validity and interpretation of this Confidentiality Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be fully performed therein (excluding the conflicts of law rules). You submit to the jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of the State of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of this Confidentiality Agreement.

12. The benefits of this Confidentiality Agreement shall inure to the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and the obligations and liabilities assumed in this Confidentiality Agreement by the parties hereto shall be binding upon the respective successors and assigns.

H-2

13. If it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) the invalid or unenforceable provision or term shall be replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

14. This Confidentiality Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party and may be modified or waived only by a separate letter executed by such Seller and you expressly so modifying or waiving such Agreement.

15. For the convenience of the parties, any number of counterparts of this Confidentiality Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto. Each such counterpart shall be, and shall be deemed to be, an original instrument, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The parties agree that this Confidentiality Agreement and any notices hereunder may be transmitted between them by email and/or by facsimile. The parties intend that faxed signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files shall constitute original signatures and are binding on all parties. The original documents shall be promptly delivered, if requested.

16. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given them in the Repurchase Agreement.
