Agreement (including, without limitation, the Maximum Purchase Amount and the satisfaction
of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof), pursuant to duly
executed Assignments of Purchased Receivables delivered on the Effective Date and on each
Settlement Date thereafter, each of the Sellers hereby sells, assigns, transfers and
otherwise conveys to, and the Purchaser hereby purchases and acquires from each such Seller,
without recourse except as provided herein:
(A) as of the Effective Date, Ownership Interests, each with an
Ownership Percentage calculated as provided in Section 2(a)(2) below, in all
of such Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, in, to and under its Receivables existing as of the Effective Date
with respect to all Advances made by such Seller as Servicer under the
Designated Servicing Agreements identified on Attachment A to
Schedule 1 (Schedule of Designated Servicing Agreements) hereto
(such Ownership Interests described in this clause (A), the “Initial
Purchased Receivables”),
15
(B) Ownership Interests, each with an Ownership Percentage calculated
as provided in Section 2(a)(2) below, in all of such Seller’s right, title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under its
Receivables existing as of each Settlement Date after the Effective Date
with respect to any Advances made by such Seller as Servicer under any
Designated Servicing Agreement, to the extent (but only to the extent) such
Receivables have not previously been the subject of purchase and Settlement
hereunder and are identified on the Assignment of Purchased Receivables
delivered by such Seller to the Purchaser on the applicable Settlement Date
(such Ownership Interests in the Receivables described in this clause (B),
the “Additional Purchased Receivables” and, together with the
Initial Purchased Receivables, the “Purchased Receivables”), and
(C) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or

(including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof, together with all
rights of such Seller to enforce such rights to reimbursement constituting

access and use all books and records related to the Purchased Receivables
(all of the foregoing monies and amounts, proceeds, and rights to enforce,
collectively, the “Ancillary Rights” and, together with the
Purchased Receivables, collectively, the “Purchased Assets”).
In the event that the Maximum Purchase Amount would be exceeded on any Settlement Date,
Purchaser shall have the sole right to designate the Receivables that will be the subject of
the Ownership Interests purchased and Settled on such date within such limits.
(2) Applicable Ownership Percentage of Ownership Interest. With respect to each
Ownership Interest purchased by Purchaser hereunder, the applicable Ownership Percentage
shall be the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Initial
Ownership Amount, and the denominator of which is the Receivable Balance of the Receivable
with respect to which, together with related Ancillary Rights, such Ownership Interest is
purchased.
(3) Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance
to the Purchaser of the Purchased Assets upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers by wire transfer to the
Seller Account (A) in the case of the Initial Purchased Receivables and Ancillary Rights
relating thereto, on the Effective Date, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to
the Purchase Price with respect to the Initial Purchased Receivables, and (B) after the
Effective Date, in the case of each Additional Purchased Receivable and Ancillary Rights
relating thereto, on the related Settlement Date, an amount in immediately available funds
equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for such Purchased Assets transferred on such date.
The computation of the Purchase Price for the Initial Purchased Assets shall assume no
subsequent purchase by Purchaser of Additional Purchased Assets. The Purchase Price for the
Additional Purchased Assets (i) shall be payable on a Settlement Date mutually agreed to by
such Seller and the Purchaser and (ii) shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price as
16
may be adjusted to reflect such factors, if any, as such Seller and the Purchaser
mutually agree will result in a Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets on each such
Settlement Date determined to be the Fair Value of such Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, neither of the Sellers shall be obligated to continue
to sell Purchased Assets to the Purchaser to the extent that such Seller is not paid the
Purchase Price therefore as provided herein.
(4) Calculation of Net Settlement Amount. To arrive at the net settlement amount (the
“Net Settlement Amount”) for any Settlement Date, the following adjustments shall be
applied by Seller (and verified by Purchaser) to the Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets
being purchased and Settled on such Settlement Date:
(A) the amount of any adjustment to the Purchase Price agreed upon
pursuant to Section 2(a)(3) shall be deducted in arriving at the Net
Settlement Amount; and
(B) any amount due Purchaser in respect of the Interim Collections
Settlement for such Settlement Date shall be deducted in arriving at the Net
Settlement Amount.
If the Net Settlement Amount is positive, then, by no later than 3:30 P.M. New York City
time on the Settlement Date, Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers by wire transfer to the
Seller Account for the benefit of Sellers, as their interests may appear, the Net Settlement
Amount. If the Net Settlement Amount is negative, then, by no later than 3:30 P.M. New York
City time on the Settlement Date, the Sellers shall wire transfer to the Purchaser
Remittance Account, in immediately available funds, the amount by which the Net Settlement
Amount is less than zero. The respective obligations of Purchaser and Sellers to perform
wire transfers of the Net Settlement Amount as set forth in the immediately preceding two
sentences are dependent upon a determination and communication to both parties of the then
applicable Net Settlement Amount on or before 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the date on
which such wire transfer is expected to be made, provided that, if such
determination and communication occurs after 2:00 p.m. New York City time of such date, the
applicable wire transfer shall be made on or before 12:00 p.m. New York City time of the
succeeding Business Day.
(5) Purchaser Remittance Account and Purchased Assets Property of Purchaser.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all funds in the
Purchaser Remittance Account shall be the sole property of Purchaser and Purchaser may
withdraw as its own property all or any funds in the Purchaser Remittance Account or at any
time without notice to Sellers.
(6) No Assumption of Obligations By Purchaser. Any purchase, sale, assignment,
transfer and conveyance hereunder does not constitute an assumption by the Purchaser of any
obligations of the Sellers or any other Person to any Obligor or Owner or to any other
Person in connection with the Purchased Receivables or any other agreement or instrument
relating to the Purchased Receivables or any Non-Purchased Interest in any Receivables or
related Ancillary Rights.
17
(7) Maximum Purchased Amount; Suspension of Purchaser’s Obligations; Suspension of
Seller’s Obligation to Sell. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase or Settle the purchase of, and
Seller shall not be obligated to sell, any Ownership Interests in Receivables or related
rights or interests (A) to the extent such purchase or Settlement would result in the
Maximum Purchase Amount being exceeded, or (B) if the Seller and Purchaser do not agree upon
(i) an adjustment to the Purchase Price on any Settlement Date, if applicable, or (ii) in
the case of the Purchase Price for the first purchase of Ownership Interests in T&I Advance
Receivables or Corporate Advance Receivables, the Purchase Price Rate applicable thereto.
In the event (x) the Purchaser or either Seller exercises its rights hereunder to cease or
suspend its purchase or sale of any Receivables (including, without limitation, by reason of
any Incipient Termination Event or Stop Event or failure to agree upon the applicable
Purchase Price or any adjustments thereto or (y) the purchase of any Ownership Interests in
any Receivables cannot be or is not for any reason Settled on the next succeeding Settlement
Date after such Receivables arise (including, without limitation, to avoid exceeding the
Maximum Purchase Amount) other than by reason of an event described in the foregoing clause
(x), then, upon and after any such event under the foregoing clauses (x) or (y), the
Purchaser shall have no obligation to purchase, Settle or otherwise pay for or complete the
purchase of, and the related Seller shall have no obligation to sell or transfer, any
Ownership Interest in such Receivables or related Ancillary Rights with respect to such
Receivables, and, at the request of the related Seller, Purchaser shall release and reassign
to the related Seller, without representation or warranty of any kind, nature or
description, and without recourse, any right, title or interest in such Receivables and
related Ancillary Rights theretofore created under this Agreement or any other Purchase
Document.

Purchaser’s Agent, shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a Collections Report with respect
to all Advance Reimbursement Amounts relating to Receivables arising from Advances made
under each Designated Servicing Agreement with respect to which Purchaser has purchased an
Ownership Interest, to the extent such Advance Reimbursement Amounts are in its possession
or under its control, including any such amounts permitted to be withdrawn from the related
Owner Collection Accounts (such amounts, the “Collections”). Until the Full P&I
Tracking Date with respect to a given Designated Servicing Agreement, such Collections
Report with respect to Collections relating to P&I Advance Receivables shall only be
required to be delivered on the same date in each month following the Effective Date or
other date upon which Purchaser first Settles its purchase of an Ownership Interest in any
P&I Advance Receivables arising under such Designated Servicing Agreement. After the Full
P&I Tracking Date with respect to a Designated Servicing Agreement, and, in any event with
respect to Collections relating to T&I Advance Receivables or Corporate Advance Receivables,
the Collections Report shall be delivered each Business Day.
(2) Collections Settlement Date; Remittances to Purchaser’s Remittance Account. By no
later than 2:00 P.M. New York City time on each day when a Collections Report is required to

18
Settlement Date”), Sellers, as Purchaser’s Agent, shall effect a remittance to
the Purchaser Remittance Account, in immediately available funds (A) out of the Collections
attributable to P&I Advance Receivables arising under a given Designated Servicing
Agreement, an amount thereof equal to the product of (i) the Interim P&I Settlement
Percentage determined as of such Collections Settlement Date with respect to such Designated
Servicing Agreement and (ii) the amount of such Collections attributable to P&I Advance
Receivables arising under such Designated Servicing Agreement, and (B) out of the

full amount thereof in which Purchaser has purchased an Ownership Interest; provided, that
any amount otherwise to be remitted to the Purchaser Remittance Account under this
Section 2(b)(2) may instead be applied as a deduction in arriving at the Net Settlement
Amount as provided in Section 2(a)(4) if the Collections Settlement Date is also a
Settlement Date for the purchase of any Purchased Receivables by Purchaser.
(3) Remittances to MBS Collection Accounts. Sellers as Servicers shall also remit or
otherwise restore to the applicable MBS Trust Collection Accounts, such portions of the
Collections as are attributable to the Non-Purchased Interests in P&I Advance Receivables
that were funded with Amounts Held for Future Distribution previously withdrawn by a Seller
as Servicer under the related Designated Servicing Agreements on each date and as required
pursuant to the applicable Designated Servicing Agreement, and Sellers shall remit to the
applicable Owners or Owner Collection Accounts, such portions of the Collections as are
attributable to any other Non-Purchased Interest in any Receivable that is not a
Non-Purchased Seller Interest on each date and as required pursuant to the applicable
Designated Servicing Agreement, provided, that nothing herein contained shall direct or

Purchaser’s Agent for the benefit of Purchaser.
(c) Reconciliation of Interim Collections Settlements. Sellers and Purchaser mutually
agree and acknowledge that the procedures for allocating Collections in respect of P&I
Advance Receivables set forth in Section 2(b) are interim settlements only that are based on
the parties’ reasonable estimates of the relative interests in Collections relating to P&I
Advance Receivables with respect to which Purchaser has purchased an Ownership Interest.
All interim settlements shall be subject to reconciliation and adjustment by the parties to
give effect to the actual Ownership Interests in P&I Advance Receivables purchased by
Purchaser from Sellers and any Non-Purchased Interests therein, as well as, to the extent
applicable, the allocation requirements of the Designated Servicing Agreements. Such
reconciliation and the making of adjusting payments between the Sellers, on the one hand,
and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be effected as soon as practicable following the
Full P&I Tracking Date for each Designated Servicing Agreement. If any other adjustments
are necessary in order to give effect to the Ownership Interests purchased by

Each of the Sellers hereby makes on its own behalf (severally and not jointly) the following
representations and warranties for the benefit of the Purchaser and its assignees, on which the
Purchaser is relying in purchasing and accepting the Purchased Receivables and Purchased Assets and
in executing this Agreement. The representations and warranties in Section 5(a) are made as of the
date of this Agreement, and as of each Settlement Date. The representations and warranties in
Section 5(b) are made on the Effective Date with respect to the Initial Purchased Receivables and
as of the applicable Settlement Date with respect to the Additional Purchased Receivables that are

(1) Organization and Good Standing. Such Seller (A) is duly formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was formed, (B) has all
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its assets
and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, (C) is qualified to
do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the
business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, and (D) is in compliance in
with all requirements of law, except where the failure to licensed, qualified or in good
standing in any jurisdiction, or where the failure to be in compliance with the laws of any
jurisdiction, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
24
(2) Power and Authority; Binding Obligation. Such Seller has all necessary limited
liability company or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under this Agreement and each other Purchase Document to which it is a
party; the execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Agreement to which it
is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or other
action on its part; and this Agreement and each other Purchase Document has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by such Seller and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency marshalling and
other similar laws governing the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of
equity.
(3) No Violation. Neither (A) the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any
other Purchase Document to which such Seller is a party, nor (B) the consummation of the
transactions herein and therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions
hereof and/or thereof, as the case may be, will conflict with or result in a breach of the
limited liability company agreement or other constitutive documents, as applicable, of
either Seller, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or
decree of any governmental authority, or other agreement or instrument to which such Person,
or any of its subsidiaries, is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is
bound or to which any of them or their property is subject, or constitute a default under
any such agreement or instrument, or (except for the liens created or permitted pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Purchase Document to which such Seller is a party) result in the
creation or imposition of any lien upon any property of such Person, pursuant to the terms
of any such agreement or instrument, except where such conflict or breach, default or lien
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(4) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the best
knowledge of such Seller, threatened, against such Seller before any governmental authority
(A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement or any other Purchase Document, (B) seeking
to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any
other Purchase Document, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable
judgment of such Seller, would materially and adversely affect the performance by such
Seller of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Purchase Document, or (D)
seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of such Seller, would
materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
other Purchase Document.
(5) No Consents Required. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by such
Seller of or compliance by such Seller with this Agreement, the sale of the Receivables or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for consents,
approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained, except for filings and
recordings in respect of this Agreement.
(6) Information. No written statement, report or other document furnished or to be
furnished pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any
25
Schedule hereto) contains or will contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate
or misleading in any material respect. There are no facts relating to and known by such
Seller which when taken as a whole may impair the ability of such Seller to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or any other Purchase Document, which have not been
disclosed herein or in the certificates and other documents furnished by or on behalf of
such Seller pursuant hereto or thereto specifically for use in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, all
information for Loan-level tracking, reporting and reconciliation as to Advances,
Receivables and Collections is currently captured on the Sellers’ books and records, except
that, prior to the Full P&I Tracking Date, some of the necessary information may not exist
in a readily accessible form or system to permit daily Loan-level tracking, reporting and
reconciliation as to P&I Advances, P&I Advance Receivables and Collections relating thereto.
(7) Solvency. Each of the Sellers is Solvent. The amount of consideration being
received by each Seller upon its sale and transfer of any Receivable to the Purchaser
constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Receivable. No
Seller is selling or transferring any Receivable with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any of its creditors. As used herein, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to
each of the Sellers on a particular day, that on such date (i) the value of the assets of
such Seller, taking into account the fair value of assets accounted for on a fair value
basis and the carrying value of other assets, is greater than the total amount of the
liabilities of such Seller (including the fair value of liabilities), (ii) such Seller is
able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities as they mature,
assuming an orderly disposition, and (iii) such Seller does not have unreasonably small
capital with which to conduct its business..
(8) Remittance Requirements to MBS Collection Accounts. Each Designated Servicing
Agreement expressly requires the Sellers as Servicers to remit or otherwise restore to the
applicable MBS Trust Collection Accounts such portions of the Collections as are
attributable to the P&I Advance Receivables that are funded with Amounts Held for Future
Distribution withdrawn by a Seller as Servicer under the applicable Designated Servicing
Agreement.
(b) Representations, Warranties and Covenants Concerning the Receivables.
(1) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable is an Eligible Receivable, and each
Receivable and all Ancillary Rights related thereto conveyed to the Purchaser has been
conveyed to the Purchaser free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than any lien for
municipal or other local taxes of such Seller if such taxes are not then due and payable).
This Agreement in the case of the Initial Purchased Receivables and all Ancillary Rights
related thereto and, in the case of any Additional Purchased Receivables and all Ancillary
Rights related thereto, the applicable Assignment of Purchased Receivables, constitutes an
absolute sale to the Purchaser of all of such Seller’s absolute ownership in, to and under
such Receivables and related Ancillary Rights, and such sale is perfected under the
applicable UCC.
(2) Title to Receivables. Immediately prior to the transfer and sale to the Purchaser
as herein contemplated (or, in case of any Receivable subject to the ResCap Senior
26
Secured Lien, the ResCap 8.50% Noteholders’ Lien or the ResCap 9.625% Noteholders’
Lien, contemporaneously with the purchase thereof by the Purchaser hereunder the release of
all such Liens), such Seller had good and marketable title to each Receivable, free and
clear of all Adverse Claims.
(3) Assignment Permitted under Servicing Agreements. The rights to reimbursement for
the Advances under each Designated Servicing Agreement may be assigned to the Purchaser as
contemplated hereunder and such assignment will not violate the terms or require any consent
under the related Designated Servicing Agreement or any other document or agreement to which
such Seller is a party or to which its assets or properties are subject.
(4) Information Set Forth in Schedules. The information set forth in any Schedule to
this Agreement, any Schedule of Designated Servicing Agreements and in any Schedule attached
to any Assignment of Purchased Receivables is true and correct with respect to any
Receivables in existence as of its date.
(5) No Defenses. As of the applicable Settlement Date, each Receivable represents
valid entitlement to be paid, has not been repaid in whole or in part or been compromised,
adjusted, extended, satisfied, subordinated, rescinded, waived, amended or modified, and is
not subject to compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, subordination, rescission,
set-off, counterclaim, defense, waiver, amendment or modification by any Person.
(6) No Government Receivables. No Receivable is due from the United States of America
or any State or from any agency, department or instrumentality of the United States of
America or any State.
(7) No Pending Proceedings. There are no proceedings pending, or, to the best of such
Seller’s knowledge, threatened, wherein any governmental agency has (A) alleged that any
Receivable is illegal or unenforceable, (B) asserted the invalidity of any Receivable or (C)
sought any determination or ruling that might adversely affect the payment or enforceability
of any Receivable.
(8) Sellers’ Reporting Obligations. With respect to each Receivable, such Seller is
not aware of any respect in which such Seller may be unable to perform its reporting
obligations as set forth herein.
(9) Enforceability; Compliance with Laws. Each Receivable is enforceable in accordance
with its terms set forth in the related Designated Servicing Agreement. Each Advance
complies with all applicable laws, including those relating to consumer protection, is valid
and enforceable and is not subject to any set-off, counterclaim or other defense to payment
by the Obligor, the related Owner or any other Person.
(10) No Consent Required. Each Receivable is assignable by such Seller and its
successors and assigns, without the consent of any other Person (except any such consent
that shall have been obtained).
27

Settlement Date, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Sellers
that:

execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(2) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement

(3) No Conflict or Violation. The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this
Agreement, the performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this

the Purchaser, will not conflict with or violate any law applicable to the Purchaser or
conflict with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or

indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the
Purchaser is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound.

Agreement or any other Purchase Document, (C) seeking any determination or ruling that, in
the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser, would materially and adversely affect the

Agreement or any other Purchase Document.

Business Days following such discovery.
Section 6. Specific Remedies Upon Breach of Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Concerning the Receivables.
(a) The Sellers shall notify the Purchaser and its assignees promptly and, in any event, no
later than five (5) days (it being acknowledged and agreed that any failure to provide such notice
or any failure to provide such notice within such time shall be an Incipient Termination Event
hereunder) in writing (or, in the event such discovery is by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall
notify the Sellers in writing promptly), upon the discovery of any breach of a Seller’s
representations and warranties in Section 5(b) above that pertain to a Receivable, which breach
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser and its assignees in the related
Receivables (such written notice being referred to herein as a “Receivable R&W Breach
Notice”). Unless such breach shall have been waived in writing by the Purchaser or such breach
shall have been cured (to the extent, and only to the extent, such breach is curable) within ten
(10) days after the Purchaser’s receipt or delivery to the Sellers (as the case may be) of such
Receivable R&W Breach Notice, such that the relevant representation and warranty shall be true and
correct in all material respects as if made on such day, and the Sellers shall have delivered to
the Purchaser and its designees an Officer’s Certificate describing the nature of such breach and
the manner in which the relevant representation and warranty became true and correct (such written
notice being referred to herein as a “Receivable R&W Cure Notice”), the Sellers shall
repurchase the Ownership Interest in each affected Receivable from the Purchaser or its assignee
for a repurchase price equal to the Ownership Amount of the Purchaser’s Ownership Interests

automatically and without further action sell, transfer, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to
the applicable Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and
interest of the Purchaser in and to such Purchased Receivables, all monies due or to become due and
all amounts received or receivable after the date of reassignment with respect thereto, all
collections after the date of reassignment with respect thereto, and all proceeds (including
“proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof. Such reassigned Purchased Receivables shall be treated
by the Purchaser as collected in full as of the date on which they were reassigned. The Purchaser

as shall reasonably be requested by the Sellers to effect the conveyance of such Purchased
Receivables and other property pursuant to this Section 6(b).
(c) The Purchaser’s obligation (if any) to purchase any Ownership Interest in Receivables

except for the transfers hereunder and as of any date on which Ownership Interests in Receivables

therein. Such Seller shall notify the Purchaser and its designees of the existence of any Lien

ownership of the Purchased Receivables and the other Purchased Assets is conveyed to the Purchaser

inspection, to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss their affairs, finances and
30
business with their officers and such Seller’s accountants, at such reasonable times during
normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested.
(f) Taking of Necessary Actions. Such Seller shall perform all actions necessary or
reasonably requested by Purchaser to sell, transfer, convey and absolutely assign the Purchased

to (whether contractual, pursuant to any Designated Servicing Agreement, any applicable law or
otherwise), without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall be at the sole
and absolute discretion of the Purchaser) modify in any way the priority of payment or payment
right of any Purchased Receivable as contemplated hereunder and as provided under the applicable
Designated Servicing Agreements in any manner that would have a material adverse effect on the
ability of the Seller to ultimately recover the related Purchased Receivables.

transaction contemplated hereby and the interest of Purchaser in the Purchased Receivables and the
other Purchased Assets, collections and proceeds with respect thereto.

further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as Purchaser may reasonably
request from time to time in order to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement and
the other Purchase Documents.
(j) Compliance with Servicing Agreements. Each Seller will comply with the terms and
conditions of the Servicing Agreements to which it is a party, except for where failure to so

have or ceases to have a valid and perfected ownership interest in the Purchased Assets free
of all Adverse Claims, in each case, for any reason other than the failure of the Purchaser
to take any action within its control; or
(b) Suspension of Purchase Obligation. Upon the occurrence of any Incipient Termination Event
or Stop Event, notwithstanding any grace period or right to cure, the Purchaser may, without
notice, immediately cease purchasing and Settling the purchase of Ownership Interests in
Receivables and the Purchaser’s commitments hereunder to purchase or Settle the purchase of
Ownership Interests in Receivables shall be suspended.
(c) Termination. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event described in the foregoing
subsections 8(a)(6) or 8(a)(7), this Agreement shall automatically terminate and all Obligations
due Purchaser hereunder from the Sellers shall automatically become immediately due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by each Seller, and all of the Purchaser’s commitments hereunder to purchase or
Settle the purchase of Receivables shall thereupon terminate. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any other Termination Event, the Purchaser may, by written notice to the Sellers,
declare this Agreement terminated and declare all or any portion of the Obligations (excluding
amount owing under Receivables, which amounts may not be accelerated by Purchaser) due Purchaser
hereunder from the Sellers to be, and the same shall forthwith become, immediately due and payable
and the Purchaser’s agreements hereunder to purchase or Settle the purchase of Ownership Interests
in Receivables shall thereupon terminate.
(d) Effect of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 8 shall not discharge any Person (other than the Purchaser) from any
obligations incurred prior to such termination, including, without limitation, any obligations to
make any payments with respect to any Purchased Receivable sold prior to such termination. No
termination, rejection or failure to assume the executory obligations of this Agreement in any
Insolvency Event or Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Sellers or the Purchaser shall be
deemed to impair or affect the obligations pertaining to any executed sale or executed obligations,
including, without limitation, pre-termination breaches of representations and warranties by the
Sellers or the Purchaser. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to termination, the failure of the
Sellers to deliver computer records of Purchased Receivables or any reports regarding the Purchased
Receivables shall not render such transfer or obligation executory, nor shall the continued duties
of the parties pursuant to this Agreement render an executed sale executory.
(e) Reserved..
Section 9. Grant Clause.
The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of each of the Seller’s right, title and
interest in and to the Purchased Assets shall constitute an absolute sale, conveying good title
free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others, from such Seller to the
Purchaser. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the
Purchased Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Purchased Assets and not a loan,
including for accounting purposes. In the event, however, that it were to be determined that the
transactions evidenced hereby
34
constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that
this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that each of the
Sellers shall be deemed to have granted, and each such Seller does hereby grant, to the Purchaser a
first priority perfected security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets to secure the
obligations of such Seller hereunder, and the term “Ownership Interest” as used in this Agreement
shall be deemed to mean and refer to such first priority perfected security interest in favor of
Purchaser.
To the extent that either of the Sellers retains any interest in the Purchased Assets, each of
the Sellers hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Purchased Assets, to
secure the performance of all of the obligations of such Seller hereunder. With respect to such
security interest, the Purchaser shall have all of the rights that it has under this Agreement.
The Purchaser shall also have all of the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC.
Each of the Sellers hereby agree that the Purchaser is irrevocably and unconditionally
authorized to file UCC financing statements naming the Purchaser, for the benefit of itself and any
of it assigns, as secured party and such Seller or Sellers, as the case may be, as debtor(s) with
respect to such security interest and such collateral.
Section 10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue in full
force and effect until the earlier of (1) the date which is one (1) year from the Effective Date,
(2) the occurrence of any Termination Event or (3) such date as may be mutually agreed upon by the
parties hereto (the earliest of any such date being the “Termination Date”).
(b) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified except by an
instrument in writing signed by each of the Sellers and the Purchaser.
(c) Costs and Expenses. The Sellers shall pay to Purchaser on demand all reasonable costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of
counsel to the Purchaser, the allocated costs of the Purchaser’s internal legal staff and fees of
accountants and other professionals retained by the Purchaser), filing fees and taxes paid or
payable in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recording,
syndication, administration, collection, liquidation, enforcement and defense of this Agreement and
each other Purchase Document, each of the transactions related hereto or thereto, the Purchased
Assets and the Purchased Receivables, Purchaser’s rights in the Purchased Assets, the Purchased
Receivables and all other documents related hereto or thereto, including any amendments,
supplements or consents which may hereafter be contemplated (whether or not executed) or entered
into in respect hereof and thereof, including: (1) all costs and expenses of filing or recording
(including UCC financing statement filings, taxes and fees, documentary taxes, intangibles taxes
and mortgage recording taxes and fees, if applicable); and (2) otherwise enforcing the provisions
of this Agreement and any other Purchase Document or defending any claims made or threatened
against the Purchaser arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including
preparations for and consultations concerning any such matters); (3) all out of pocket expenses and
35
costs heretofore and from time to time hereafter incurred by the Purchaser during the course
of periodic field examinations.
(d) Binding Nature; Assignment. The covenants, agreements, rights and obligations contained
in this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the Sellers
and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Purchaser, and all
persons claiming by, through or under the Purchaser; provided, that, the Sellers may not assign any
of their interests or rights under this Agreement to any other Person without the prior written
consent of the Purchaser (such consent being in the sole and absolute discretion of the Purchaser)
and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Purchaser may enter freely into participation agreements with respect
to or otherwise grant participations in its Purchased Receivables and Purchased Assets to one or
more Persons, and may, with the prior written consent of each of the Sellers (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), assign any or all of its rights, title and
interests in and to the Purchased Receivables and Purchased Assets to one or more Persons.
(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or
written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express terms
hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with
any of the terms hereof.
(f) Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited,
unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non-authorization without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision
in any other jurisdiction.
(g) Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is made in the State of New York
and shall be interpreted according to the laws of such State, without giving effect to the
principles of conflict of laws. Each of the parties hereto agrees that all actions and proceedings
arising out of or relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement or any related agreement
(including any other Purchase Document) or any of their rights or obligations shall be litigated in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or the Supreme Court of New
York, County of New York County, State of New York, and that such courts are convenient forums, and
that each of the parties hereto submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. Each of the
parties hereto hereby further consents to the service of process therein by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, directed to such party at its address set forth hereinbelow, and
each party hereto agrees that service so made shall be deemed complete five (5) days after the date
of mailing.
(h) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION
RELATING TO TRANSACTIONS ARISING UNDER OR IN RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SOUNDING IN
CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.
36
(i) Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices shall be in writing

Factoring Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2008, by and among GMAC Mortgage, RFC and Purchaser (as

executed or delivered
in connection therewith (all of the foregoing, together with the Factoring Agreement, as the same

absolute ownership interests in Servicer Advance Receivables and the Ancillary Rights (as defined

are collectively referred to as the “Purchased Assets”, as further defined in Exhibit A hereto.
GMAC Mortgage, as a Borrower, and RFC as a Borrower, GMAC LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company as Lender Agent (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender Agent”), and Initial
Lender, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as First Priority Collateral Agent (in such capacity, together

entered into certain financing arrangements pursuant to which GMAC may make revolving loans
provided by Lender Parties (as hereinafter defined) or Lender Agent of behalf of Lender Parties, to
GMAC Mortgage and RFC of up to $3,500,000,000 as set forth in the Loan Agreement, dated as of June
4, 2008, among GMAC Mortgage and RFC as Borrowers, Residential Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company and certain of its affiliates as guarantors (collectively “Guarantors”), the
parties thereto as lenders, indemnified parties or agents or otherwise as a Lender Party (each
individually a “Lender Party” and collectively, “Lender Parties”) and Lender Agent (as the same now
exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or
replaced, the “Loan Agreement”) and the agreements, documents and instruments executed or delivered
in connection therewith (all of the foregoing, together with the Loan Agreement, as the same now

collectively, the “Loan Documents”), which revolving loans and other obligations thereunder are
secured by a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of the assets of GMAC Mortgage
and RFC, including the Servicer Advance Receivables (the “Lender Party Collateral”).
The Loan Agreement contemplates that RFC and GMAC Mortgage may enter into a factoring
arrangement acceptable to Lender Agent with respect to Servicing Advance Receivables, and RFC and
GMAC Mortgage desire to enter into the factoring arrangements with Purchaser as set forth in the
Factoring Agreement.
Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Release.
(a) Effective on the payment by Purchaser of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Factoring
Agreement) for any Purchased Assets purchased by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the
Factoring Agreement including the settlement procedures provided therein or otherwise, and subject
only to the provisions of Section 1(b) hereof, (i) Lender Agent and First Priority Lien Collateral
Agent and the Lender Parties each hereby releases, automatically and without any further action by
any party, any and all liens, security interests and any other interest or claim of Lender Agent
and First Priority Lien Collateral Agent in or to such Purchased Asset pursuant to the Loan
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (ii) Lender Agent and First
2
Priority Lien Collateral Agent hereby expressly acknowledge that pursuant to the Loan
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender Agent and First Priority Lien Collateral Agent and
any Lender Party have no interest in, and the Lender Party Collateral does not include, such
Purchased Asset.
(b) Not less than twelve (12) Business Days prior to any material amendment or modification of
the Factoring Agreement or the addition of a Servicing Agreement to Schedule 1 to the Factoring
Agreement, RFC and GMAC Mortgage shall deliver a copy of the related documentation to Lender Agent,
together with a certificate of any officer of each thereof to the effect that, after giving effect
to such amendment, modification or addition, the sale of Purchased Assets under the Factoring
Agreement continues to satisfy the requirements in the Loan Agreement for a “Collateral Asset
Disposition” (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement). If Lender Agent shall notify
Purchaser in writing that it questions the validity of such certification, the release provided in
Section 1(a) hereof shall not be effective with respect to any Purchased Asset relating to a
Servicer Advance Receivable arising more than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such
notice unless Lender Agent shall have rescinded such notice in writing; provided, that, (i)
Purchaser shall be under no obligation to continue or resume purchasing any Purchased Assets unless
(A) Purchaser determines that the resumption and continued purchases of the Purchased Assets shall
be effected and made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Factoring Documents and
entitled to the benefits of the release provided in Section 1(a) hereof, and (B) no “Default” or
“Event of Default” (as such terms are defined in the Factoring Agreement) shall exist or have
occurred and be continuing, and (ii) if either or both of RFC and GMAC Mortgage fail to deliver
such certificate, such failure shall not impair or limit the release provided under Section 1(a)
hereof with respect to any Purchased Asset relating to a Servicer Advance Receivable arising before
Purchaser’s receipt from Lender Agent of written notice of such failure or within ten (10) Business
Days thereafter, unless Lender Agent shall have rescinded such notice in writing. For purposes of
this Section 1(b), the term “Business Day” means any day excluding Saturday, Sunday and any day
which is a legal holiday under the laws of the State of New York, the State of California, the
State of Minnesota or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or is a day on which either the Purchaser
is closed or banking institutions located in the State of New York, the State of California, the
State of Minnesota or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are closed.
Section 2. Cooperation
(a) Subject to the terms hereof, Lender Agent and First Priority Collateral Agent hereby agree
promptly to transfer and return to, or in accordance with the written direction of, Purchaser, at
such account or other place as Purchaser may so instruct, any funds or other property that are
received by Lender Agent or First Priority Collateral Agent that is not Lender Party Collateral but
instead constitutes Purchased Assets and that are so identified in writing and in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to Lender Agent and First Priority Collateral Agent by Purchaser. First
Priority Collateral Agent agrees, upon the request of Lender Agent, to file such UCC amendments as
Purchaser may reasonably request to evidence the partial release of the security interest and lien
of First Priority Collateral Agent as provided for hereunder in any Purchased Assets. Lender Agent
agrees, upon the request of Purchaser, to direct First Priority Collateral Agent to file such UCC
amendments as Purchaser may reasonably request to evidence the partial release of the security
interest and lien of First Priority Collateral Agent as provided for hereunder in any Purchased
Assets.
3
(b) Upon and after the termination of the Factoring Agreement and the permanent and complete
cessation of the purchase of ownership interests in Servicer Advance Receivables and related
Ancillary Rights by Purchaser thereunder (the date upon which such termination and cessation
occurs, the “Factoring Termination Date”), Purchaser agrees, upon the request of Lender Agent, to
file such UCC amendments to partially release as Lender Agent may reasonably request in order to
evidence that Purchaser has no interest in any Servicer Advance Receivables created after the
Factoring Termination Date or in any Ancillary Rights relating thereto.
(c) Lender Agent agrees, upon the request of Purchaser, to the extent Lender Agent is entitled
to do so under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to
direct either or both of Second Priority Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement) and Third Priority Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to
transfer and return to, or in accordance with the written direction of, Purchaser, at such account
or other place as Purchaser may so instruct, any funds or other property that are received by
either or both of Second Priority Collateral Agent and Third Priority Collateral Agent that
constitutes Purchased Assets and that are so identified in writing by Purchaser and in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to Lender Agent.
