AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE ASSETS AND ASSUMPTION OF THE ASSUMED
LIABILITIES
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE ASSETS AND ASSUMPTION OF THE ASSUMED
LIABILITIES
Section 1.01. Purchase and Sale of Assets. In consideration of the Trust’s
issuance of the Trust Certificates to the Seller and the Trust’s issuance of the Trust Notes to the
Note Purchaser (as Seller’s assignee), and of the Trust’s assumption of certain liabilities
pursuant to Section 1.02, and in consideration of Roosevelt’s agreements in this Agreement
and in the Related Agreements, the Seller shall, at the Closing, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to the Trust, as the Asset Purchaser (and the Asset Purchaser shall, at the
Closing, accept), without recourse (except to the extent specified herein), free and clear of all
Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances, all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to
and under the following assets of the Seller (collectively, the “Assets”):
(i) the Portfolio;
(ii) all Servicing Rights with respect to the Portfolio;
(iii) all Corporate Advances relating to the Loans within the Portfolio; and
(iv) all Files and Records relating to any Asset, copies of which may be retained by
Seller to the extent required by Law.
Section 1.02. Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and on the basis of the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements herein contained, at the Closing, the Trust shall assume and agree to
discharge only the following Liabilities of Seller (collectively, the “Assumed
Liabilities”):
(a) all Liabilities of Seller under any of the Loans, including all obligations to fund
Draw Advances made on or after the Closing Date under any of the Loans, to the extent
arising on or after the Closing Date, and attributable to actions, omissions, facts, events,
conditions, situations or sets of circumstances to the extent occurring on or following, the
Closing Date; and
(b) all Liabilities of Seller relating to any of the Assets to the extent arising on
or after, and attributable to actions, omissions, facts, events, conditions, situations or
sets of circumstances to the extent occurring on or following, the Closing Date.
All other Liabilities of Seller shall not be assumed by the Trust and shall remain the sole and
exclusive responsibility of Seller. The Trust expressly disclaims any assumption of, and this
Agreement does not purport to assign, any Liabilities whether or not related to or arising out of
the Business or the Assets, whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, other than such
Assumed Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
Assumed Liabilities shall not include any Liabilities to the extent arising out of or related to
-3-
actions, omissions, facts, events, conditions, situations or sets of circumstances that occurred
prior to the Closing Date.
Section 1.03. Purchase Price.
(a) In consideration of the sale by the Seller to Roosevelt, as Note Purchaser, of the
Trust Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Roosevelt shall pay the Seller, at the
times specified by this Agreement, a cash purchase price (the “Purchase Price”)
which shall be the aggregate of:
(i) subject to adjustment to such percentage pursuant to Section 1.04, an
amount equal to 35.31% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the close of
business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date of the Loans within the
Portfolio, regardless of whether or not such Loans as of such time and day are Current
Loans; provided, however, that the percentage stated in this Section 1.03(a)(i) shall be
6.31% with respect to any Loan that is (A) as of the Cut-off Date, a Payment Status
Unknown Loan and (B) not eligible for reclassification (as a result of payments made
after the Cut-off Date with respect to such Payment Status Unknown Loan) as a Current
Loan pursuant to the reclassification provisions of Section 1.04(c); plus
(ii) an amount equal to all Accrued Interest as of the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date (up to a maximum of 30 days) with respect to the
Loans within the Portfolio that are Current Loans as of the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date; plus
(iii) an amount equal to all Corporate Advances as of the close of business on the
day immediately preceding the Closing Date with respect to the Loans in the Portfolio
that are Current Loans as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
Closing Date and that are contractually and legally recoverable in accordance with the
standards set forth in the definition of the term Corporate Advances under Article X (the
“Advances Reimbursement Amount”); minus
(iv) the Holdback Amount.
(b) The Purchase Price (less the Escrowed Amount), as computed on an estimated basis in
accord with the Seller’s Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.04(a),
shall be paid at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Seller’s account
(designated in writing by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date).
The portion of the Purchase Price, as computed on an estimated basis in accord with the
Seller’s Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.04(a), that is allocable
to all Document Defective Loans (the “Escrowed Amount”) shall be paid by the Note
Purchaser at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Account.
The Purchase Price (including the Escrowed Amount) will be determined following Closing and
settled on a final basis pursuant to the procedures of Section 1.04.
-4-
In the event that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated
as of the 18th day of July, 2008, between Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Union Bank and Trust Company and
Xxxxx Home Equity Corporation, relating to the sale of certain securitization assets and
servicing rights (the “Residuals Purchase Agreement”), are rescinded pursuant to
Section 7.06(d)(i) or (iv) of the Residuals Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the
Closing has not yet occurred, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000).
Section 1.04. Calculations of Purchase Price.
(a) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare, or
cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of
the Trust, the Series Administrator and the Note Purchaser, a statement, together with
supporting documentation in sufficient detail reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the Series Administrator (the
“Seller’s Closing Statement”), which shall set forth Seller’s good faith estimate of
the trial balances (allocating such trial balances among those Loans that are (I) then
Current Loans, (II) those Loans that are Payment Status Unknown Loans and (III) those Loans
that are neither Current Loans nor Payment Status Unknown Loans) with respect to the Loans
within the Portfolio, as of the Cut-Off Date, of (i) the Estimated Corporate Advances
(generated through its servicing system), (ii) the Estimated Stated Principal Balance, and
(iii) the Estimated Accrued Interest (collectively and in the aggregate, the “Estimated
Trial Balances”), respectively. The Seller’s Closing Statement shall allocate the
Estimated Trial Balances between those Loans that are Document Defective Loans as of the
balance date and those Loans that are not Document Defective Loans as of the balance date.
Solely for purposes of computing the Seller’s Closing Statement and hence the amounts of the
Purchase Price and Escrowed Amount payable at Closing (and subject to possible
reclassification as Current Loans as part of determining the final related Purchase Price
pursuant to Section 1.04(c)), Loans that have a due date for their related monthly
payment during the time period between July 2, 2008 and July 15, 2008, inclusive, but which
are not otherwise past due as of the Cut-off Date for any payment of principal or interest,
shall not be deemed to be Current Loans for purposes of the Seller’s Closing Statement as of
the Cut-off Date, but instead shall be deemed to be “Payment Status Unknown Loans.”
Further, for purposes of the Seller’s Closing Statement, only (x) the reduced percentage of
the Estimated Stated Principal Balances applicable to the Payment Status Unknown Loans that
are not ultimately eligible for reclassification as Current Loans pursuant to Section
1.04(c) shall be included with respect to the Payment Status Unknown Loans, and (y) eighty
percent (80%) of the Estimated Corporate Advances related to each of the Current Loans shall
be included as respective amounts payable at Closing, and the final respective amounts for
Loans payable in respect of reclassified Payment Status Unknown Loans and in respect of
Accrued Interest and Corporate Advances shall be determined and settled in connection with
the Seller’s Determination to be prepared pursuant to Section 1.04(c).
(b) Within three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust,
-5-
the Series Administrator and the Note Purchaser trial balances (the “Final Trial
Balances”) of Seller updating the balance figures included within the related Estimated
Trial Balances, with respect to each of the Loans, through the close of business on the
calendar day before the Closing Date, together with supporting documentation in sufficient
detail reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Trust and the Series Administrator supporting the applicable Final Trial Balances. The
Final Trial Balances shall each allocate balance figures between those Loans that are
Document Defective Loans as of the balance date and those Loans that are not Document
Defective Loans as of the balance date. With respect to the Loans, the Series Administrator
and the Seller shall work together in good faith between the date of the delivery by Seller
of the Final Trial Balance related to the Loans and the date that is thirty (30) calendar
days after the Closing Date in order to determine which, if any, Corporate Advances related
to the Loans are not deemed contractually and legally recoverable in accordance with the
standards set forth in the definition of that term under ARTICLE X.
(c) Within thirty days (30) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust, and the Series
Administrator a statement together with supporting documentation in sufficient detail
reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and
the Series Administrator, showing Seller’s determination of the final Purchase Price (the
“Seller’s Determination”). The Seller’s Determination shall be based upon the Final
Trial Balances, as adjusted to reflect any reclassifications of Payment Status Unknown Loans
that Seller may properly make pursuant to this Subsection. The Seller’s Determination shall
allocate the Purchase Price both to Loans that are Document Defective Loans as of the date
of the related Final Trial Balances and those Loans that are not Document Defective Loans as
of the date of the Final Trial Balances. The Seller’s Determination shall also reflect any
additional applicable Purchase Price owed to Seller due to reclassification of Payment
Status Unknown Loans to Current Loans status as a result of the Seller’s receipt following
the Cut-Off Date of payments of principal and interest on such Payment Status Unknown Loans.
The Seller may reclassify a Payment Status Unknown Loan as a Current Loan as of the close
of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date for purposes of the Seller’s
Determination if (i) the only reason the Loan was deemed to be a Payment Status Unknown Loan
for purposes of the Seller’s Closing Statement was the rule expressed in the next to the
last sentence of Section 1.04(a), and (ii) full payment of principal and interest on
any installment payment with respect to such Payment Status Unknown Loan that first became
due as of any date during the period between July 2, 2008, and July 15, 2008, inclusive, is
made, before the due date of the next installment, after the Cut-off Date. Payment Status
Unknown Loans eligible for such reclassification will be deemed Current Loans for final
related Purchase Price purposes, including the purposes of (i) the payment by the Note
Purchaser of the highest percentage of Stated Principal Balance specified by Section
1.03(a)(i), (ii) the payment by the Note Purchaser at 100% for any Corporate Advances with
respect to such Loans, and (iii) the Note Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Seller for
Accrued Interest (up to the maximum amount specified by Section 1.03(a)(ii)) on the Loans
through the close of business on the day immediately prior to
-6-
the Closing Date. Loans, that as of the Cut-off Date are due only for an installment
that came due on or after July 16, 2008 shall be deemed to be Current Loans both for
purposes of the Seller’s Closing Statement and for purposes of the Seller’s Determination,
regardless of whether the payment of that installment is in fact made before the due date of
the next installment.
(d) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) calendar days after
receipt of the Seller’s Determination, the Series Administrator shall notify Seller in
writing whether it accepts or disputes its accuracy with respect to the Loans. During such
five (5) day period, the Series Administrator and its representatives shall be provided with
such access to all Files and Records of Seller as they may reasonably request to respond to
the Seller’s Determination. If the Series Administrator accepts the calculation of the
Seller’s Determination, or if the Series Administrator fails within such five (5) day period
to notify the Seller of any dispute with respect thereto, the calculation of each proposed
final Purchase Price (including the amounts payable with respect to Payment Status Unknown
Loans and reclassified Payment Status Unknown Loans, and Corporate Advances and Accrued
Interest related to the Loans), determined in accordance with the Seller’s Determination,
shall (subject only to potential further adjustment solely on account of subsequent purchase
determinations during the Document Recovery Period described by Section 1.04(h)) be
deemed final and conclusive and binding upon all parties.
(e) If the Series Administrator disputes the calculation of the final Purchase Price,
or any other element of the Seller’s Determination, the Series Administrator shall give
timely written notice to the Seller no later than five (5) calendar days following the
receipt of the Seller’s Determination (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice
shall specify the reasons for such disagreement, the amounts of any adjustments that are
necessary in the Series Administrator’s good faith judgment and the basis for the Series
Administrator’s suggested adjustments. If the Seller and the Series Administrator are
unable to resolve the disputed matters outstanding within a thirty (30) day period following
delivery of a Dispute Notice, all disputed matters shall be resolved as provided in
Section 12.11. In the event a Dispute Notice is delivered, then, not later than
three business days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, the appropriate party (the Seller
or the Note Purchaser, as the case may be) shall pay to the other party or to the Escrow
Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds such amount that is then payable under
this Section 1.04 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price as to which there is no
dispute expressed by the Dispute Notice.
(f) Payment by the Note Purchaser. In the event that the Purchase Price (as
finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.04) with respect to any Loan
within the Portfolio is greater than the amount paid at Closing by the Note Purchaser (to
Seller or to the Escrow Agent, as the case may be) with respect to such Loan pursuant to
Section 1.03 (plus or minus any adjusting payments previously received or made by
Seller or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.04), then
the Note Purchaser shall pay an amount allocable with respect to each such Loan, (A) in the
case of each Loan that is not a Document Defective Loan as of the date of the Seller’s
-7-
Determination, to the Seller an amount equal to the difference within five (5) calendar
days after the determination of the amount thereof by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to an account designated in writing by Seller and (B) in the case of each Loan that is
a Document Defective Loan, to the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the difference within
five (5) calendar days after the determination of the amount thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Escrow Account.
(g) Payment by Seller. In the event that the Purchase Price (as finally
determined in accordance with this Section 1.04) with respect to any Loan within the
Portfolio is less than the amount paid at Closing by the Note Purchaser (to the Seller or
the Escrow Agent, as the case may be) with respect to such Loan pursuant to Section
1.03 (plus or minus any adjusting payments previously received or made by the Seller or
the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.04), then, (i) in
the case of each Loan that is not a Document Defective Loan as of the date of the Seller’s
Determination, the Seller shall pay to the Note Purchaser an amount equal to the difference
within five (5) calendar days after the determination of the amount thereof by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Note Purchaser and
(ii) in the case of each Loan that is a Document Defective Loan as of the date of the
Seller’s Determination, the Seller shall direct that the Escrow Agent pay to the Note
Purchaser an amount equal to the difference within five (5) calendar days after the
determination of the amount thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the
Escrow Account.

or correspondents doing business with Seller in connection with loan origination, closing
or servicing activities;
-19-
(viii) No property encumbered by a Security Document has been released from the
related lien;
(ix) With respect to each first lien Loan, all real estate taxes, assessments, water
and sewer charges, insurance premiums, municipal charges, leasehold payments, ground
rents, homeowner association fees which are due and payable on any of the property have
been paid;
(x) The terms of the Mortgage Notes and Mortgages with respect to the Loans have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument
which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Asset Purchaser and
which has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Securityholders (or the
Custodian on its behalf);
(xi) The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other documents required to be
delivered by Seller with respect to the Loans under this Agreement have been delivered to
the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Securityholders (or the Custodian on its behalf) or to
its designee;
(xii) With respect to each first lien Loan, there is no proceeding pending or, to
the best of Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of any
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property related to each first lien is undamaged by
waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so
as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for each Loan, or
the use for which the premises were intended;
(xiii) To the extent applicable, the Seller has complied in all material respects
with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without
limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2003, and the laws and regulations administered by the
U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control;
(xiv) Each home equity line of credit is a revolving home equity line of credit
containing customary and enforceable provisions for open-ended mortgage loans, including
with respect to the funding of draws, and providing for (a) minimum monthly payments
which are not less than the interest accrued at the applicable mortgage rate on the
related average daily principal balance during the interest period relating to the due
date on which such minimum monthly payment is due and (b) at maturity of the related home
equity line of credit, payment in full of the principal balance of the related Mortgage
Note;
(xv) With respect to each Loan and the corresponding Mortgage Note, (i) if such Loan
is a first lien mortgage Loan, its loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) was not greater
than 125% at the time such Loan was originated; and (ii) such Loan has not been modified,
or if such Loan has been modified, the modification occurred in connection with the
Mortgagor’s default on such Loan or at a time when the Mortgagor’s default was reasonably
foreseeable.
-20-
(e) With respect to any first lien Loans only and pursuant to the terms of each related
Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon any Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other hazards as are customary in the area where any Mortgaged Property is located in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the first lien Loan or
(ii) the replacement cost of any Mortgaged Property, but in no event less than the minimum
amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. If
any Mortgaged Property related to a first lien Loan is a condominium unit, it is included
under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If upon origination of a
first lien Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards a
life-of-loan flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the Federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect. All individual insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller and its successors and assigns as
mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. Each Mortgage related to a first lien
Loan obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the
Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder
of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense,
and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the representation in this section (e) shall only apply for 30 days following
the termination of the Administration and Servicing Agreement.
Section 4.05. Licenses and Permits. Seller has obtained and maintained in
full force and effect all material Licenses and Permits required to own, operate and service the
Portfolio as presently conducted in the Ordinary Course of Business and as required in order for
IHE to continue to service the Portfolio. Seller is in compliance in all material respects with
all terms, conditions and requirements of all Licenses and Permits required to own, operate and
service the Portfolio and no Proceeding is pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened
relating to the revocation or limitation of any such License or Permit.
Section 4.06. Compliance with Law. Except as set forth on Section
4.06 of the Disclosure Schedules, Seller and IHE, and any prior originator or servicer, have
complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws in connection with the servicing,
origination or acquisition of each of the Loans. Neither Seller nor IHE have received, at any time
since December 31, 2006, any written notice from any Governmental Entity or any other Person
regarding any actual, alleged, possible or potential violation of, or failure to comply with, any
applicable Law with respect to any item of the Portfolio and there is no pending or, to the
Knowledge of Seller, threatened, investigation of Seller or IHE that could reasonably be expected
to result in such charge or notice in the future.

Disclosure Schedules, (a) there are no investigations, governmental audits or Proceedings pending
or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against any of the Assets, (b) there are no unsatisfied
judgments of any kind against any of the Assets, and (c) Seller is not subject to any judgment,
order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or Governmental Entity that has had or could
reasonably be
-21-
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect any of the
Assets. All of the investigations, governmental audits or Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge
of Seller, threatened against the Seller relating to the Assets during the two (2) years prior to
the Closing Date are described in Section 4.07 of the Disclosure Schedules.
Section 4.08. Broker’s and Finder’s Fees. Except as set forth on Section
4.08 of the Disclosure Schedules, no broker, finder or other Person is entitled to any
commission or finder’s fee in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement as a result of any actions or commitments of Seller or any of its Affiliates. Any
such broker, finder or other Person set forth on Section 4.08 of the Disclosure Schedules
that is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee shall be paid by Seller.
Section 4.09. Disclaimer. Except as expressly set forth in this ARTICLE
IV, Seller makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, at Law or in equity, and
any such other representations and warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed, including any
implied representation or warranty as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for
particular purpose. The Asset Purchaser and the Note Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees to
such disclaimer and that, except as specifically set forth in this ARTICLE IV, the Asset
Purchaser is purchasing the Assets on an “as is, where is” basis. It is understood and
agreed by the parties hereto that, except as contemplated in ARTICLE I, (i) the Asset
Purchaser is assuming the risk of deterioration subsequent to the date hereof in the credit quality
of the Loans and the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Mortgagors thereunder, and (ii) for
so long as Roosevelt is a Noteholder, that, indirectly as a Noteholder, it is also assuming the
risk of deterioration subsequent to the purchase by it of the Trust Notes in the credit quality of
the underlying Loans and the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Mortgagors thereunder.
Accordingly, the Asset Purchaser, and the Note Purchaser as a Noteholder, each agree with the
Seller that, in the event of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01(a),
Seller shall be responsible (subject to the terms of ARTICLE VII) only for the portion of
any such Indemnity Loss attributable solely to a breach by Seller of any representation or warranty
without regard to any such deterioration in credit quality or the condition (financial or
otherwise) of any Mortgagor. Neither the Asset Purchaser nor the Note Purchaser (as a Noteholder)
shall have any recourse whatsoever to Seller with respect to the performance of any Loan conveyed
under this Agreement.

as to Loans made pursuant to Section 4.04 by Seller. This Section 5.07 is without
prejudice to the ability of either Seller or Roosevelt to contest (with each other or with any
third party) whether (i) any matter set forth in Section 4.04 or Section 5.07 of
the Disclosure Schedules, or on the related Asset Schedule, constitutes a breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Seller with respect to the Loans pursuant to Section
4.04 and (ii) any Loans are Document Defective Loans due to missing Loan Documents as described
in Section 3.02(a).

Updates shall not affect such party’s entitlement, if any, to exercise its rights under ARTICLE
VII in respect of any claimed breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller.
Section 6.06. Notification of Certain Matters. Each party shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties of:
(a) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure would
be reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty of such party contained in this

Section 7.01. Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the applicable provisions
of this ARTICLE VII, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Asset Purchaser and
Roosevelt, and their successors, shareholders, Personnel, representatives, Affiliates and agents
(collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Indemnity
Losses, arising from or relating to:
(a) The breach of any representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement;
(b) the breach of any covenants or agreements of Seller in this Agreement;
(c) any Excluded Liability; and
-27-
(d) any and all Proceedings, demands, assessments, audits or judgments arising out of
any of the foregoing.
Section 7.02. Indemnification by Roosevelt. Subject to the applicable
provisions of this ARTICLE VII, Roosevelt shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and
its successors, shareholders, Personnel, representatives, Affiliates and agents from and against
any and all Indemnity Losses arising from or relating to:
(a) the breach of any representations or warranties of Roosevelt (in whatever capacity)
in this Agreement;
(b) the breach of any covenants or agreements of Roosevelt (in whatever capacity) in
this Agreement; and
(c) any and all Proceedings, demands, assessments, audits or judgments to the extent
arising out of any of the foregoing.
Section 7.03. Indemnification Notice; Litigation Notice. Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.08, if a party entitled to indemnity pursuant to Section
7.01 or 7.02 (the “Claimant”) believes that it has suffered or incurred any
Indemnity Loss, it shall so notify the party which the Claimant believes has an obligation to
indemnify (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing describing such Indemnity Loss in
reasonable detail, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Indemnity
Loss, all with reasonable particularity (the “Indemnification Notice”). Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.08, if any Proceeding is instituted by or against a third party
with respect to which the Claimant intends to claim any Liability or expense as an Indemnity Loss
under this ARTICLE VII, it shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such
Proceeding describing such Indemnity Loss, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of
computation of such Indemnity Loss, all with reasonable particularity (the “Litigation
Notice”) in lieu of an Indemnification Notice. The failure to timely give an Indemnification
Notice or Litigation Notice shall not affect the rights of a claimant except to the extent failure
to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such Proceeding can reasonably be deemed to increase
the Liability or expense to the Claimant the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to reimburse
the Claimant for the amount of such increase in liability or expense. For the avoidance of doubt,
the parties hereto agree that the Indenture Trustee and the Series Administrator shall have the
rights and remedies under this ARTICLE VII to act as Claimants on behalf of the Asset
Purchaser, and to enforce any indemnities of the Trust, on behalf of the Securityholders.
Section 7.04. Defense of Third Person Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall
have twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the Litigation Notice to notify the Claimant that
it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify and hold harmless the Claimant with respect to the
Indemnity Loss set forth in the Litigation Notice and that it elects to conduct and control any
Proceeding with respect to an identifiable claim (the “Election Notice”). If the
Indemnifying Party gives a Disagreement Notice (as hereinafter defined) or does not give the
foregoing Election Notice during such 20-day period, the Claimant shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to defend, contest, settle or compromise such Proceeding in the exercise of its
reasonable discretion; provided, however, that the right of the Claimant to
indemnification
-28-
hereunder shall not be conclusively established thereby. If the Indemnifying Party timely
gives the foregoing Election Notice and provides information satisfactory to the Claimant in its
reasonable discretion confirming the Indemnifying Party’s financial capacity to defend such
Indemnity Loss and provide indemnification with respect to such Indemnity Loss, the Indemnifying
Party shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Claimant and, subject to the provisions set forth below, at the Indemnifying
Party’s sole expense, the conduct and settlement of such Proceeding, and the Claimant shall
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, however,
that (a) the Indemnifying Party shall not thereby consent to the imposition of any injunction
against the Claimant without the prior written consent of the Claimant, (b) the Indemnifying Party
shall permit the Claimant to participate in such conduct or settlement through legal counsel chosen
by the Claimant, but the fees and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne by the Claimant
unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed in writing to the continuing participation of
such counsel, or (ii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would, in the opinion of Claimant’s outside legal counsel, be inappropriate due to the
actual or potential differing interests between them, (c) upon a final determination of such
Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Claimant, to the extent required
under this ARTICLE VII, for the full amount of any Indemnity Loss incurred by the Claimant,
except fees and expenses of legal counsel that the Claimant incurred after the assumption of the
conduct and control of such Proceeding by the Indemnifying Party in good faith, (d) the Claimant
shall have the right to pay or settle any such Proceeding; provided, however, that
in the event of such payment or settlement which is not consented to by the Indemnifying Party, the
Claimant shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party and no amount in
respect thereof shall be claimed as an Indemnity Loss under this ARTICLE VII and (e) the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle such Proceeding with the consent of the Claimant,
which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or, if such settlement provides for
release of the Claimant in connection with all matters relating to the Proceeding which have been
asserted against the Claimant in such Proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without
the consent of the Claimant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying
Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Proceeding, shall
not be entitled to settle or compromise any such Proceeding, and shall pay the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel retained by the Claimant, if (a) the Proceeding relates to or arises in
connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (b) the
Proceeding seeks injunctive or equitable relief against the Claimant, or (c) the Indemnifying Party
has not elected to defend or is failing to defend in good faith the Proceeding.
Section 7.05. Disagreement Notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not agree
that the Claimant is entitled to full reimbursement for the amount specified in the Indemnification
Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the
Claimant (the “Disagreement Notice”) within twenty (20) calendar days of its receipt of the
Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be.
Section 7.06. Payment of Losses. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the
Claimant in cash the amount to which the Claimant may become entitled by reason of the provisions
of this
-29-
ARTICLE VII within fifteen (15) Business Days after such amount is finally determined
either by mutual agreement of the parties, in the case of an Indemnity Loss described in any
Litigation Notice, the date on which both such amount and Claimant’s obligation to pay such amount
have been finally determined by judgment of the trial court or administrative body having
jurisdiction over such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount to which the
applicable Purchaser becomes entitled by reason of the provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall
be paid by Seller in immediately available funds subject to Section 7.01.
Section 7.07. Survival; Limitations. (a) Claims for indemnification pursuant
to Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.02(a) shall only be valid to the extent that such
claims are made within a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date; provided,
however, that claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or Section
7.02(a) for any Loans that are not Seasoned Loans shall continue until the greater of (i)
twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date or (ii) until such time that such Loans become
Seasoned Loans; and provided further, that claims for breaches of any
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section
4.08, Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 which shall survive indefinitely or until
the latest date permitted by law.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE VII, in no event shall
Seller be liable to indemnify the related Purchaser Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses
arising under Section 7.01(a) (other than Indemnity Losses arising under Section
4.01, Section 4.02 or Section 4.08 or Indemnity Losses based upon actual
fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller) (i) with respect to any breach of a
representation or warranty relating to any individual Loan in Section 4.04, in
excess of an amount calculated (unless Deemed Purchase Prices for the Loans are determined
and updated as of Closing, as contemplated below) by multiplying the aggregate Purchase
Price by the quotient of (A) the outstanding principal balance of such Loan as of the
Closing Date, divided by (B) the outstanding principal balance of all Loans within the
Portfolio as of the Closing Date or (ii) with respect to all Indemnity Losses, in the
aggregate, in excess of an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate final
Purchase Price. The parties agree to discuss in good faith with each other, during the
period of twenty (20) Business Days from the date of this Agreement, the establishment of a
methodology for determining a deemed purchase price of all the Loans within the Portfolio
for purposes of fixing the maximum liability of Seller with respect to any particular
individual Loan under clause (i) of the preceding sentence. If such a methodology is
established and deemed purchase prices for all the Loans within the Portfolio (“Deemed
Purchase Prices”) are determined, then, within five (5) Business Days from the delivery

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE VII, in no event shall
Roosevelt be liable to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses arising
under Section 7.02(a) (other than Indemnity Losses arising under Section
5.01, Section 5.02 or Section 5.05 or Indemnity Losses based upon fraud
or intentional misrepresentation by Roosevelt) in the aggregate, in excess of an amount
equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to
Section 1.04.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the avoidance of doubt, in the
event that a Claimant is entitled to indemnification for an Indemnity Loss resulting from
both a breach of a Seller representation or warranty set forth in ARTICLE IV and an
Excluded Liability, such Indemnity Loss shall be treated as resulting from an Excluded
Liability under Section 7.01(c); provided that under no circumstances shall
Purchaser make a claim, and obtain recovery, pursuant to both Section 7.01(a) and
Section 7.01(c) with respect to any such Indemnity Loss.
Section 7.08. Cure Right. Prior to seeking indemnification pursuant to
Section 7.01(a) or (b), and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
before the running of any other applicable time period set forth in this ARTICLE VII
commences, the Indenture Trustee, the Series Administrator or Roosevelt shall notify the Seller of
any alleged breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller and Seller shall
have a period to cure such breach equal to thirty (30) days following the date of the Indenture
Trustee’s, the Series Administrator’s or Roosevelt’s, as applicable, written notice to the Seller
of such breach, unless such breach is not susceptible of cure or cannot reasonably be expected to
be cured within such thirty (30) day period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Seller’s full and complete cure of any breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement in accordance with this Section 7.08 shall constitute the Indenture
Trustee’s, the Series Administrator’s or Roosevelt’s, as applicable, full, complete and exclusive
remedy with respect to such breach.
Section 7.09. Net Recovery. The amount of any Indemnity Loss for which
indemnification is provided under Section 7.01 shall be net of any amounts actually
recovered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under any insurance policies with respect to such
Indemnity Loss. The Indenture Trustee, the Series Administrator or Roosevelt shall use its best
efforts to make any and all insurance claims relating to any claim for which it is seeking
indemnification under this ARTICLE VII; provided, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indenture Trustee, the Series Administrator or Roosevelt shall not be required to
bring an action against its insurance carrier for denying any such insurance claim which such party
makes. The amount of any Indemnity Loss claimed by any Purchaser Indemnified Parties hereunder
shall be reduced to the extent of any Tax savings or benefits actually realized by the Purchaser
Indemnified Parties that is attributable to any deduction, loss, credit or other Tax benefit
resulting from or arising out of such Indemnity Loss. The amount of any Indemnity Loss claimed by
a Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder shall be reduced to the extent the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties has recovered any amounts from third parties with respect to the matters relating to such
Indemnity Loss.
Section 7.10. Sole Remedy. The right to indemnification under this
ARTICLE VII, subject to all of the terms, conditions and limitations hereof, shall
constitute the sole and
-31-
exclusive right and remedy available to any party hereto for any actual or threatened breach
of this Agreement or any Related Agreement or for any violation of Laws in connection with the
transactions provided for in this Agreement or any Related Agreement except that either party may
pursue legal or equitable relief against the other party for a breach or violation of Section
9.01 of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit in
any way any such party’s remedies after the Closing in respect of fraud, intentional
misrepresentation or intentional misconduct by the other party in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall the
Indenture Trustee, the Series Administrator or Roosevelt have or be entitled to any right to
require Seller to repurchase any Loan as a result of a breach of any of the representations or
warranties contained in ARTICLE IV, or for any other reason whatsoever.
Section 7.11. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. To the maximum extent
permitted by Law, it is the intention of the parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this
Agreement as an adjustment to the applicable Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and the related
parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.
Section 7.12. Credit Risk. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that each Purchaser is assuming the risk
of deterioration subsequent to the date hereof in the credit quality of the Loans and the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Mortgagors thereunder. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, the Indenture Trustee, the Series Administrator, Roosevelt and the
Seller agree that, in the event of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section
7.01(a), the Seller shall be responsible (subject to the terms of this ARTICLE VII)

representation or warranty without regard to any such deterioration in credit quality or the
condition (financial or otherwise) of any Mortgagor.
