liability company (“

(“
GMAC Mortgage”, and together with RFC, each a “
Borrower” and collectively, the
“
Borrowers”),

hereto as Guarantors (each, a “
Guarantor”), the various other parties signatory hereto as
obligors (the “
Obligors”), GMAC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “

Lenders”), and GMAC LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity together with its successors
and assigns in such capacity, the “
Lender Agent”) and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., solely with
respect to
Section 12.11(b) and in its capacity as First Priority Collateral Agent.
BACKGROUND
The Borrowers desire to obtain Commitments from the Lenders so that the Lenders will from time
to time and subject to the terms hereof make revolving Loans to the Borrowers, which Loans are
secured by the Collateral.
The Guarantors have entered into this Agreement and have agreed to provide guarantees of the
Obligations hereunder and to pledge Collateral to secure such guarantees.
The Lenders have agreed to acquire certain outstanding term loans made to ResCap pursuant to
that certain Term Loan Facility dated as of July 28, 2005 (the “
Term Loan Agreement”) among
ResCap, the lenders thereunder, Citibank, N.A., as syndication agent, the documentation agents
thereunder, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, from the lenders thereunder.
The Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Lenders have agreed to convert the existing term loans
referred to immediately above to Loans subject to the terms of this Agreement.
The Lenders are willing, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereafter set forth, to
extend the Commitments and make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained,
and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

Section 1.01. Definitions; Construction.
(a) Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified in Schedule 1.01.
(b) All terms used in Article 9 of the UCC, and not specifically defined herein, are used
herein as defined in such Article 9.
(c) Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, in the computation of a period of time from a
specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words
“to” and “until” each means “to but excluding”.
(d) The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of
the terms defined.
(e) Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine,

(f) The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the
phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and
effect as the word “shall”.
(g) Unless the context requires otherwise (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement,
instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument
or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any
restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (ii) any reference
herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns,
provided that such successors and assigns are not prohibited by the Facility Documents,
(iii) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed
to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (iv) all
references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to
Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement, and (v) the words “asset”

ARTICLE II
COMMITMENTS, LOANS, BORROWING, PREPAYMENT
Section 2.01. Commitments and Loans.
(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees, from time to time on any
Business Day occurring on or after Closing Date but prior to the Commitment Termination Date, to
make loans (relative to each Lender, its “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers in an aggregate
amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans
requested by the
2
Borrowers to be made on such Business Day. The Lenders shall distribute the proceeds of such
Revolving Loan to the Borrowers no later than 2:00 p.m. (
New York City time) on the related Funding
Date in accordance with
Section 2.03.
(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrowers may from time to time
borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. No Lender shall be required to make any Revolving
Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount would exceed the
Available Amount or (ii) such Lender’s Outstanding Lender Loan Amount would exceed such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount.
(c) Pursuant to the Term Loan Assignment, each Lender shall have acquired Existing Term Loans
in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Initial
Balance, which Existing Term Loans shall on the date hereof be deemed for all purposes to be term
loans extended to the Borrowers hereunder (the “Term Loans”). Once repaid or prepaid
hereunder, the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(d) Upon the effectiveness of the transfer of the Existing Term Loans and to the extent such
Existing Term Loans are deemed converted to Term Loans hereunder, the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that ResCap shall have no obligations to the Lenders with respect to the Term
Loan
Agreement or the Term Loan Assignment.
Section 2.02. Note.
(a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a
promissory note executed by each Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a)(i)
hereto (a “Revolving Note”), in the case of a Revolving Loan, or Exhibit
2.02(a)(ii) hereto (a “Term Note”), in the case of a Term Loan (each a “Note”),
in each case dated the date hereof, payable to the applicable Lender in a maximum principal amount
equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitment Amount. The Borrowers hereby
irrevocably authorize each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid
attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made,
shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and
the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations
shall, to the extent not inconsistent with notations made by the Lender Agent in the Register, be
conclusive and binding on each Obligor absent manifest error; provided that, the failure of
any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of any
Obligor.
(b) The Borrowers hereby designate the Lender Agent to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely
for the purpose of this clause, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the Lender
Agent will record each Lender’s Commitments, the Loans (and interest due thereon) made by each
Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, annexed to which the
Lender Agent shall retain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance, and each participation (as
described in Section 9.04), delivered to the Lender Agent pursuant to Article IX.
Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligor’s
Obligations. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error,
and the Borrowers, the Obligors, the Lender Agent and the other Lender Parties shall treat each
Person in whose name a Loan is registered as the owner thereof
3
for the purposes of all Facility Documents, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to
the contrary. Any assignment or transfer of a Commitment or the Loans made pursuant hereto shall
be registered in the Register only upon delivery to the Lender Agent of an Assignment and
Acceptance that has been executed by the requisite parties pursuant to Article IX. Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender Agent shall record the
information contained therein in the Register. No assignment or transfer of a Lender’s Commitment
or Revolving Loans, including those transfers or assignments to an Affiliate, shall be effective
unless such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Register by the Lender Agent as
provided in this Section.
(c) The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender (but in each
case only as to its relevant portion of the Register), at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.
Section 2.03. Borrowing Procedures.
(a) By delivering a Borrower Funding Request to
the Lender Agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (
New York City time) on any Business Day, the Borrowers
may from time to time irrevocably request, on the Initial Funding Date (in the case of the initial
Revolving Loan) or one Business Day prior to any subsequent Funding Date (in the case of subsequent
Revolving Loans), that Revolving Loans be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $50,000,000 and an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the remaining unused portion of the Revolving Loans available
to be advanced hereunder);
provided that (i) the amount of the initial Revolving Loans
requested pursuant to the initial Borrower Funding Request shall be not be less than $100,000,000,
(ii) after the Initial Funding Date, the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans requested for Funding
Dates in any period of ten (10) consecutive Business Days may not exceed $500,000,000 and (iii) the
amount of Revolving Loans requested pursuant to any Borrower Funding Request (including the initial
Borrower Funding Request) shall not, immediately after giving effect to the advance of such
Revolving Loans, be greater than the difference between (A) the Available Amount
minus (B)
the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, the Revolving Loans to be made with respect to any Borrower Funding Request shall be
made on the Business Day specified in such Borrower Funding Request. On or before 1:00 p.m.,
New
York City time, on such Business Day, each Lender shall deposit with the Lender Agent same day
funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Revolving Loans. Such
deposit will be made to an account which the Lender Agent shall specify from time to time by notice
to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Lender Agent shall make
such funds available to the Borrowers by wire transfer to the accounts the Borrowers shall have
specified in their Borrower Funding Request. No Lender’s obligation to make any Revolving Loan
shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Revolving Loan.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) On or prior to the first Business Day preceding any Funding Date (if the related Funding
Date is after the Monthly Settlement Date), and as a condition to the advance of any Revolving
Loans relating to such Funding Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender Agent an Interim
Borrowing Base Report.
4
(d) By delivering a Borrower Funding Request, the Borrowers represent and warrant to each
Lender that, after giving effect to the making of the requested Revolving Loans thereunder, all
conditions precedent to such Revolving Loan specified in Section 5.02 have been satisfied
and all statements in clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of
Schedule 5.02 are true and correct.
Section 2.04. Borrowing Base.
(a) On or prior to the Initial Funding Date, the
Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender Agent and the Valuation Agent the Initial Collateral Value
Report and the other components of the initial Monthly Collateral Report.
(b) After the Initial Funding Date, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender Agent and the
Valuation Agent an updated Monthly Collateral Report no less frequently than once per calendar
month and no later than the tenth Business Day of each calendar month (commencing with June 2008).
Each Collateral Value Report and each Collateral Value Certificate delivered by the Borrowers shall
be effective (subject to Sections 2.04(c) and (d) below) until such time as the
Borrowers shall deliver a subsequent Collateral Value Report and Collateral Value Certificate. For
purposes of preparing each Collateral Value Report, the Borrowers shall calculate the Collateral
Value of the Primary Collateral described in the related Electronic File in accordance with
Schedule 2.04; provided that prior to the European Reporting Date, the Borrowers
may use reasonable estimates, based on available data (including the amount of collections on
European Reporting Assets held in European SPV Accounts) in determining the Collateral Value of
European Reporting Assets for inclusion in any Collateral Value Report.
(c) If requested to do so by the Lender Agent, within two Business Days after receipt of a
Collateral Value Report and Collateral Value Certificate pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or
(b), as the case may be, together with the related Electronic Files, the Valuation Agent
shall, to the extent such Collateral Value calculation relies on market value rather than Carrying
Value, verify the Collateral Value for the Primary Collateral and shall notify the Lender Agent and
the Borrowers of the amount of such Collateral Value.
(d) Within three Business Days after receipt of a Collateral Value Report and Collateral Value
Certificate pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or (b), the Lender Agent shall determine
(taking into account any information provided by the Valuation Agent pursuant to
Section 2.04(c)) the Borrowing Base and notify the Lenders and the Borrowers of such
determination. Such determination shall be effective as of the Business Day specified in such
written notice from the Lender Agent (or, if no effective date is specified in such written notice,
the next Business Day following delivery of such written notice) and such Borrowing Base shall
remain in effect (as adjusted by any European Collateral Value Adjustment) until the next
determination or redetermination of the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein the contrary, in the event that the Borrowers fail to
furnish any component of the Monthly Collateral Report, any European Collateral Value Adjustment or
any Interim Borrowing Base Report in accordance with this Section 2.04, the Lender Agent
may designate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter
5
at an amount as determined by the Lender Agent in its sole and absolute discretion until each of
the Lender Agent and the Valuation Agent shall have received all reports, certificates and files
required to be delivered by this Section 2.04, whereupon the Lender Agent shall designate a
new Borrowing Base in accordance with the general procedures outlined in this Section 2.04.
(f) The Borrowers shall deliver Interim Borrowing Base Reports as required pursuant to
Section 2.03(c) and the Lender Agent shall calculate the Adjusted Borrowing Base with
respect to each Interim Borrowing Base Report.
(g) To the extent that the Borrowers estimate the Collateral Value of European Reporting
Assets in any Collateral Value Report, the Borrowers shall calculate the Collateral Value of such
European Reporting Assets in accordance with Schedule 2.04 and furnish a supplemental
Collateral Value Report as adjusted to reflect such calculation (such adjustment, a “European
Collateral Value Adjustment”) within 5 Business Days of the delivery of the related Collateral
Value Report.
Section 2.05. Interest. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for each day during a
related Interest Period at a rate equal to (a) the sum of (x) the applicable LIBOR Rate for such
Interest Period and (y) the Applicable Margin, divided by (b) 360 days. Interest shall be payable
(i) in arrears with respect to each Interest Period through the final day of each Interest Period
(regardless of whether such day is a Business Day), such amount to be payable on the first Business
Day following the end of such Interest Period, (ii) on the applicable Loan Repayment Date, (iii) on
the date of payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on any Loan with
respect to the principal amount so paid or prepaid, or (iv) on that portion of Loans the maturity
of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02, immediately upon such acceleration. The
Lender Agent shall determine the LIBOR Rate for each Loan prior to the beginning of each Interest
Period, as set forth in the definition of “LIBOR Rate.” The Lender Agent shall also calculate the
amount of interest and, if applicable, any Breakage Costs or other amounts due to be paid by the
Borrowers from time to time hereunder (including in connection with any prepayment or repayment of
Loans permitted hereunder) and shall provide a written statement thereof to the Borrowers at least
two Business Days prior to the due date of such payment (or the relevant repayment or prepayment
after having received a notice thereof); provided that failure to provide such statements
on a timely basis shall not relieve the Borrowers of the obligation to pay any interest and
principal due on the applicable payment date (based upon their good faith calculation of the amount
due, such amount to be promptly reconciled after receipt of a subsequent statement from the Lender
Agent) and other such amounts hereunder promptly upon receipt of such statement.
Section 2.06. Fees. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall
pay to the Lender Agent the upfront fee specified in the Fee Letter, which fee shall be fully
earned upon receipt and non refundable.
Section 2.07. Alternate Rate of Interest; Increased Costs.
(a) If, prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period, the Lender Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) (i) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or (ii)
6
that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any
Lender of making or maintaining its Loans; or (iii) that, after notice from an affected Lender, it
has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain Loans hereunder
using the LIBOR Rate, then the Lender Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers by
telephone, facsimile, or other electronic means as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
commencing with the Interest Period immediately following the Interest Period during which such
notice is provided to the Borrowers until the Lender Agent notifies the Borrowers that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, all Loans shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the Applicable Margin plus the rate per annum that the Lender Agent determines
in its reasonable discretion adequately reflects the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining
the Loans for such Interest Period.
(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Lender for any increase in the
cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in
respect of, such Lender’s Commitments and the making, continuing, maintaining or conversion of
Loans hereunder that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption,
effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase in after the Closing Date of, any law or
regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of
any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that any such changes with respect
to increased capital costs and taxes shall be governed by the terms of Sections 2.07(c) and
3.02, respectively. For the purposes of this Section 2.07(b), taxes shall include
all present or future taxes, fees, levies, imposts, deductions, duties, withholdings, assessments
or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or
penalties applicable thereto. Each affected Lender shall promptly notify the Lender Agent and the
Borrowers in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the
additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced
amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable jointly and severally by the Borrowers directly
to such Lender within ten (10) days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.
(c) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation,
reinterpretation or phase in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling
such Lender, and such Lender determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion)
that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the
Commitments or the Loans made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or
such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then
upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Lender Agent),
the Borrowers shall within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice jointly and severally pay
directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling
Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender as to any such additional
amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
Borrowers. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution
that it (acting reasonably) shall deem applicable.
7
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.07 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender
pursuant to Sections 2.07(a), (b) or (c) for any such increased cost or
reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender
demands, or notifies the Borrowers of its intention to demand, compensation therefor,
provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or
reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.07, then such Lender
will, if requested by the Borrowers, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another
lending office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on
terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s)
to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided
further that nothing in this Section 2.07(e) shall affect or postpone any of the
Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Sections 2.07(a),
(b), (c) or (d).
Section 2.08. Mandatory Repayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrowers shall jointly and
severally repay the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount with respect to all Loans and all other
amounts owing under this Agreement in full on the Loan Repayment Date. Loans may be prepaid in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.09 hereof and, to the extent prepaid, may be
re-borrowed hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof (including satisfaction of all conditions
precedent contained in Section 5.02).
(b) If, on any Business Day (a “Borrowing Base Shortfall Day”), the Lender Agent
provides written notice to the Borrowers that the Lender Agent has determined in its sole
reasonable discretion that the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount on such day exceeds the Borrowing
Base on such day (such circumstance, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”) by an amount equal to
or greater than $250,000, the Borrowers shall, within one (1) Business Day after the Borrowing Base
Shortfall Day, jointly and severally repay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to the amount of
the Borrowing Base Deficiency specified in the notice provided to the Borrowers by the Lender
Agent; provided, however, that to the extent a Borrowing Base Deficiency results
from a write-off of the Collateral Value of any Primary Collateral in accordance with ResCap’s
standard valuation practices applied to its assets as a whole as then in effect (such valuation
practices to be consistent with the methodology used in the preparation of ResCap’s GAAP financial
statements), the obligation of the Borrowers to repay outstanding Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.08(b) will be reduced by the Collateral Value of any Eligible Assets not
otherwise constituting Primary Collateral which the Borrower designates as Primary Collateral on
the applicable Borrowing Base Shortfall Day by written notice to the Lender Agent or in the related
Repayment Notice (any such collateral, “Substitute Collateral”).
The Borrowers shall deliver a Repayment Notice with respect to each repayment of outstanding
Loan amounts and/or designation of Substitute Collateral made pursuant to this
Section
2.08(b) by 1:00 p.m. (
New York time) on the first Business Day following the related Borrowing
Base Shortfall Day.
Loan Agreement
8
(c) The Borrowers shall, on each Mandatory Repayment Date, repay outstanding Loans in an
amount equal to the sum (if greater than zero) of (i) Net Cash Proceeds in excess of Retained
Proceeds in the aggregate received by the Obligors in respect of all Collateral Dispositions;
minus (ii) the aggregate Fair Value of Reinvestment Collateral acquired with such Net Cash
Proceeds; and minus (iii) the aggregate amount of repayments made pursuant to Section
2.08(a) since the date of such Collateral Disposition.
(d) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Breakage Costs incurred by the Lenders in
connection with a mandatory repayment pursuant to this Section 2.08.
(e) Any repayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be applied first to
outstanding Term Loans and second to outstanding Revolving Loans.
Section 2.09.
Optional Prepayment. The Borrowers may, at their option, prepay any
Loan advanced hereunder in full or in part (as well as all interest accrued and unpaid thereon
through the end of the related Interest Period) on the last Business Day of any Interest Period
related thereto (each an “
Optional Prepayment Date”);
provided that the Borrowers
deliver a Prepayment Notice to each Lender and the Lender Agent, no later than 2:00 p.m.
New York
City time on a Business Day that is at least two (2) Business Days preceding the Optional
Prepayment Date;
provided further that all Term Loans must be paid in full before
the Borrowers may prepay any Revolving Loans. Any such partial prepayment shall be in a minimum
principal amount of not less than $10,000,000 and in increments of $1,000,000 (or, if less, the
Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount). Any such prepayment shall be paid over to the Lender Agent for
the account of the Lenders by the Borrowers by 2:00 p.m. (
New York City time) on such Optional
Prepayment Date, and shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Loan amount being prepaid on
the date of such prepayment,
plus (b) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loan being
prepaid as of the date of such prepayment,
plus (c) the allocable portion (determined by
the Lender Agent in its sole reasonable discretion) of all other amounts due from the Borrowers
hereunder. The Borrowers may make a partial or full prepayment on any date other than an Optional
Prepayment Date;
provided that the Borrowers make a timely delivery of a Prepayment Notice,
and in addition to the amount required under
items (a),
(b), and
(c) above,
the Borrowers must pay, without duplication, (x) all Breakage Costs, if any, actually incurred by
the Lenders and resulting from such prepayment and (y) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loan
being prepaid following the prepayment. Subject to
Section 5.02, in the absence of a
timely delivered Prepayment Notice, the Lenders shall automatically and without further action by
the Borrowers continue each Loan at the termination of each Interest Period for a successive
Interest Period beginning on the day immediately following the final day of the immediately
preceding Interest Period.
Section 2.10. Termination of Commitments and Reduction of Aggregate Commitment
Amount.
(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment
Termination Date. If at any time the Borrowing Base is reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall
terminate on the effective date of such reduction.
Loan Agreement
9
(b) The Borrowers may elect by notice as specified in this clause (b), to reduce the
Aggregate Commitment Amount to such lower amount as the Borrowers shall specify in such notice;
provided that (i) immediately after giving effect to such reduction, the Aggregate
Commitment Amount as so reduced shall not be lower than the Outstanding Aggregate Revolving Loan
Amount, (ii) such reduction shall be in a minimum principal amount of not less than $10,000,000 and
in increments of $1,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment
Amount), and (iii) all such reductions shall require at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice
to the Lender Agent, shall be permanent, and shall take effect on a Business Day. Such reduction
in the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall take effect on the date specified in such notice, which
date shall be no earlier than three (3) Business Days from the date of actual receipt of such
notice by the Lender Agent.
(c) In the event that the Borrowers repay outstanding Loans under Section 2.08(c) with
Net Cash Proceeds (the “Prepayment Amount”), the Commitment Amount shall be permanently
reduced to the extent the Borrower fails to reborrow such Prepayment Amount and use the proceeds of
the resulting Loans to purchase Reinvestment Collateral within 120 days of the receipt of such Net
Cash Proceeds.
ARTICLE III
PAYMENTS; COMPUTATIONS; TAXES; EXPENSES
Section 3.01. Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a) Unless otherwise expressly stated
herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with
the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (
New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money

deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day).
(b) The Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by law, jointly and severally pay interest on
all amounts (including principal, interest and fees) due but not paid on the date such payment is
due hereunder as provided herein, for the period from, and including, such due date until, but
excluding, the date paid, at the applicable Default Rate, payable on demand; provided,
however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.
(c) All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which payable.
(d) Each Borrower agrees that the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other
monetary Obligations shall be the joint and several recourse obligations of the Borrowers.
(e) Except as set forth in Section 3.02, all payments made by the Borrowers or the
other Obligors under this Agreement or any other Facility Document shall be made without set-off,
deduction or counterclaim.
Loan Agreement
10
(f) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender Agent
may, and upon direction from the Required Lenders, shall, apply all amounts received under the
Facility Documents (including from the proceeds of Collateral securing the Obligations) or under
applicable Requirements of Law upon receipt thereof to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to
the payment of all Obligations in respect of fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other
amounts owing to the First Priority Collateral Agent and the Control Collateral Agent, (including
the out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable fees of counsel to each), (ii) second after payment in
full of the amounts specified in clause (f)(i), to the payment of all Obligations in
respect of fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts owing to the Lender Agent,
in its capacity as the Lender Agent (including the out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable fees of
counsel to the Lender Agent), (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified
in clause (f)(i) and (f)(ii), to the ratable payment of all interest (including
interest accruing (or which would accrue) after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under
the Facility Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the Lender Parties pursuant to the
terms of the Facility Documents, until paid in full in cash, (iv) fourth, after payment in full in
cash of the amounts specified in clauses (f)(i) through (f)(iii), to the ratable
payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, (v) fifth, after payment in full in
cash of the amounts specified in clauses (f)(i) through (f)(iv), to the ratable
payment of all other Obligations owing to the Lender Parties, and (vi) sixth, after payment in full
in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (f)(i) through (f)(v), and following
the Termination Date, to each applicable Obligor or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive
such surplus or as may be directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary,
by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loans (other than pursuant to the terms of
Sections 2.07(b), 2.07(c), 3.02, Article X or in respect of
Breakage Costs) in excess of its pro rata share of payments obtained by all Lender,
such Lender shall purchase from the other Lender such participations in Loans made by them as shall
be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably
(to the extent such other Lenders were entitled to receive a portion of such payment or recovery)
with each of them; provided that, if all or any portion of the excess payment or other
recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and
each Lender that has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to
such selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such selling
Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in
respect of the total amount so recovered. Each of the Obligors agrees that any Lender purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause (g) may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 3.04)
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Obligors in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section
applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such
secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to
share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
Loan Agreement

Section 3.02. Taxes.
(a) All payments by the Borrowers or Guarantors (each a
“Credit Party”) of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or
future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, levies, imposts, deductions,
duties, withholdings, assessments or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any
Governmental Authority, but excluding, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income,
overall receipts or overall assets of any Lender by any Governmental Authority, (ii) franchise
taxes or branch profits taxes or any similar tax imposed on any Lender by the United States of
America (or any political subdivision thereof) of the jurisdiction of the Lender, as the case may
be, in which it is organized or is operating or is otherwise subject to tax as a result of any
connection unrelated to this Agreement, and (iii) any U.S. backup withholding taxes (other than due
to a change in law as provided in Section 3.02(f)) (such non-excluded taxes, fees, levies,
imposts, deductions, duties, withholdings, assessments or other charges, herein “Taxes”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that any such Taxes are required to be
deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made to any Lender as a result of Requirements
of Law, the Credit Party shall (a) promptly notify the applicable Lender, in writing, of such
requirement, (b) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be deducted or
withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount
paid to the applicable Lender pursuant to this paragraph), and (c) jointly and severally pay to the
applicable Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received
by such Lender after such withholding or deduction shall equal the full amounts of moneys which
would have been received by such Lender in the absence of such withholding or deduction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit Party shall not be required to increase any amounts
payable to a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender (as defined in Section 3.02(f)) with respect
to any Taxes (x) if and to the extent that such taxes would not have been imposed but for such
Non-U.S. Lender’s failure to provide (or the Lender Agent’s failure to provide) to the Borrower the
Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to
Section 3.02(f) or (y) that are imposed on amounts payable to such Non-U.S. Lender
at the time such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) other
than due to a change in law as provided in Section 3.02(f).
(b) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any current or future stamp, recording,
documentary, excise or property or similar taxes, charges or levies (including, without limitation,
mortgage recording taxes and similar fees, but excluding such amounts imposed as a result of an
assignment or the transfer of a participation) imposed by any Governmental Authority that arise
from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility
Document and the transactions contemplated thereunder (“Other Taxes”).
(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this Section 3.02) paid by such Lender and any liability (including taxes,
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however,
that when making a demand for indemnity payment a Lender shall provide
Loan Agreement
12
each Borrower, at its address referred to in Schedule 13.02, with a certificate from the
relevant taxing authority or from a Responsible Officer of such party stating or otherwise
evidencing, in reasonable detail, that such Lender has made payment of (and the basis of
calculation for) such Taxes or Other Taxes. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30)
days from the date a Lender provides written demand therefor, accompanied by the aforementioned
certificate.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of receiving an official receipt for any payment of
Taxes or Other Taxes contemplated by this Section 3.02, the Borrower shall furnish to the
relevant Lenders, at their addresses set forth in Schedule 13.02 (or such other address as
provided by a Lender, in the case of an assignee), appropriate evidence of payment thereof.
(e) If a Lender shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund or credit (such
credit to include any increase in any foreign tax credit) as a result of Taxes (including any
penalties or interest with respect thereto) as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or
with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.02,
it shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund or credit and shall,
within 30 days after receipt of a request by such Borrower, apply for such refund or credit at such
Borrower’s expense, and in the case of any application for such refund or credit by such Borrower,
shall, if legally able to do so, deliver to the Borrower such certificates, forms or other
documentation as may be reasonably necessary to assist such Borrower in such application. If a
Lender has determined in its sole judgment that it has received a refund or credit (such credit to
include any increase in any foreign tax credit) in respect to any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.02, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such refund or
credit and shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of such refund or the benefit of such credit
(such benefit to include any reduction of the Taxes for which a Lender would otherwise be liable
due to any increase in any foreign tax credit available to a Lender), repay the amount of such
refund or benefit of such credit (with respect to the credit, as determined by a Lender in its
sole, reasonable judgment) to the Borrowers (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by a
Borrower under this Section 3.02 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund or
credit), plus any interest received with respect thereto, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than interest actually received from the
relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit);
provided, however, that each Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to
return the amount of such refund or benefit of such credit (plus interest) to the Lender in the
event the Lender is required to repay the amount of such refund or benefit of such credit to the
relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority.
(f) If a Lender is not a United States Person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Internal Revenue Code) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), it shall, on or prior to the Closing Date
or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is an assignee, on the date of such assignment to such
Non-U.S. Lender, provide to the Borrowers and Lender Agent (i) two (2) accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (or successor forms)
certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled as of such date to a complete exemption from
United States withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty with respect to payments
of interest to be made under this Agreement (or, in the case of an
Loan Agreement
13
assignee, entitlement to a withholding tax rate that does not exceed the withholding tax rate in
respect of those Taxes in respect of interest for which the assignor was entitled to additional
payments under Section 3.02(a) at the time of the assignment), (ii) with respect to a
Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio
interest exception, (x) a statement of such Non-U.S. Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that
it is not (A) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a 10%
shareholder of a Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code), or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to a Borrower within the meaning of Section
864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code (an “Exemption Certificate”), and (y) two properly
completed and executed original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor
form) certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled as of such date to a complete exemption from
United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement,
(iii) two (2) accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY
with any accompanying statement and certificate, or (iv) two (2) accurate and complete original
signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for
claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax, with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by Requirements of Law to permit Borrowers to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender agrees that from
time to time after the Closing Date, when the passage of time or a change in facts or circumstances
renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, or on the
Borrowers’ reasonable request, such Non-U.S. Lender will deliver to the Borrowers two (2) new
accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN
(with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty), Form W-8BEN (with respect to the
portfolio interest exemption) and an Exemption Certificate, or Form W-8IMY with any accompanying
statement or certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to
confirm or establish that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to a continued exemption from United
States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement, or such Non-U.S. Lender shall
immediately notify the Borrowers of its inability to deliver any such form or Exemption
Certificate, in which case such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any such form or
Exemption Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
3.02, the Borrowers agree to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Non-U.S. Lender
in the manner set forth in Sections 3.02(a) and (c) in respect of any United States
Taxes deducted or withheld by the Borrowers or paid by a Lender, if and to the extent that such
Taxes would not have been deducted or withheld or payable (and in the case of a payment by a
Lender, no exception is available to the making of such payment, as determined in the sole
discretion of such Lender) but for any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty,
governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof. Prior to
withholding any amount due a non-U.S. Lender because of such Lender’s failure to provide tax forms
or certifications under this Section 3.02, the Borrowers shall notify such non-U.S. Lender
of its intention to withhold not less than
five (5) Business Days prior to such withholding.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Section
3.02 shall govern exclusively any increased costs relating to Taxes resulting from any change
in law.
Loan Agreement
14
Section 3.03. Fees and Expenses. The Borrowers agree to jointly and severally pay to
the Lender Agent and the Lenders any expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of each
Lender’s counsel) incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery, administration
and enforcement of this Agreement and the Facility Documents (and any amendments, supplements,
modifications, consents or waivers thereto), including the reasonable fees and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the
Collateral Control Agent and the Valuation Agent.
Section 3.04. Setoff. The Obligors agree that each Lender has all rights of set off
provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Obligors agree that at any time any
Default exists, each Lender may appropriate and apply to the payment of any obligations of the
Obligors hereunder owed to it, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts or moneys of the Obligors then or thereafter maintained with or held by such Lender;
provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to Section
3.01(g). Each Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Obligors after making such exercise
of the right of set off; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of the set-off.
ARTICLE IV
ACCOUNTS AND COLLECTIONS
Section 4.01. Concentration Accounts. Prior to the Account Transfer Date, but
subject to Account Exceptions, ResCap and its Subsidiaries shall continue to administer their cash
collection system as it was administered immediately prior to the Closing Date. To the extent in
place on or prior to the Closing Date, such administration shall include the sweep of cash from
accounts in the system to the Concentration Accounts. The Obligors will cause the Concentration
Accounts to be subject to the Account Control Agreements at all times at and after the Closing
Date.
Section 4.02. Sales Proceeds Accounts. (a) On or before the Closing Date, the
Borrowers and the Lender Agent shall establish the Sales Proceeds Accounts. The Obligors hereby
agree that the Collateral Control Agent shall have exclusive control of the Sales Proceeds
Accounts. Any Net Cash Proceeds of Collateral Dispositions of Primary Collateral received by an
Obligor shall be deposited in the Sales Proceeds Accounts no later than the Applicable Deposit Date
and shall be held in the Sales Proceeds Accounts pending application of such proceeds to the
repayment of Loans or use pursuant to Section 4.02(b), and any such Net Cash Proceeds which
for any reason have not yet been deposited into the Sales Proceeds Accounts shall be deemed to be
held by such Obligor in trust for the Lenders and shall not be used by any Obligor for any purposes
whatsoever.
(b) The Borrowers shall designate one or more of the Sales Proceeds Accounts as “Servicing
Advances Accounts”, and shall cause funds received in respect of the repayment of Primary
Collateral consisting of Servicing P&I Advances, Servicing Corporate Advances and Servicing T&I
Advances to be deposited in such Servicing Advances Accounts in accordance with Section
4.02(a); provided that until the Servicing Advance Exception End Date, Servicing
Advance Exception Funds in an amount not to exceed the Servicing Advance Exception Limit in effect
on such day need not be so deposited. Provided that no Default has
Loan Agreement
15
occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may withdraw amounts on deposit in such accounts to fund
additional Servicing P&I Advances, additional Servicing Corporate Advances and additional Servicing
T&I Advances, which additional Servicing P&I Advances, additional Servicing Corporate Advances and
additional Servicing T&I Advances shall become Primary Collateral concurrently with such funding.
Section 4.03. Collections Deposited to Collection Accounts. The Obligors agree,
subject to the Account Exceptions, to use all commercially reasonable efforts to restructure their
cash management system prior to the Account Transfer Date so as to enable the Collateral Control
Agent to exercise control, pursuant to Alternate Account Control Agreements, over all material bank
and securities accounts of ResCap and its Subsidiaries intended to contain solely funds and
securities of ResCap and its Subsidiaries (excluding the Exempt Cash Reserve Account, accounts of
Financing SPVs, accounts of independent third parties, accounts setup for Bilateral Facilities and
accounts holding funds held on account for, in trust for, or by ResCap or a Subsidiary as a
custodian for, any third party) and cause all liquidity reserves (other than funds permitted to be
held in the Exempt Cash Reserve Account) of ResCap and its Subsidiaries to be on deposit in such
accounts, subject to such exceptions as the Lender Agent shall agree in writing. No later than the
Account Transfer Date and subject to the Account Exceptions and Section 4.02, the Obligors
shall arrange for (a) all Collections in respect of the Collateral to be deposited in an Alternate
Account or Collection Account no later than the Applicable Deposit Date, (b) all liquidity reserves
of ResCap and its Subsidiaries to be held (subject to the Account Exceptions) in the Alternate
Accounts or the Collection Accounts and (c) all funds which have been deposited in a Alternate

jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification, licenses or approvals, except to the extent failure to so
qualify or to obtain licenses and approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Power and Authority; Due Authorization. Each of such Obligor and each of its
Subsidiaries (i) has all necessary power and authority and legal right to (A) execute and
deliver each of the Facility Documents to be executed and delivered by it in connection

17
appropriate and (B) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and all of
the Facility Documents to which it is a party.
(d) Binding Obligations. Each Facility Document to which such Obligor and any of
its Subsidiaries is a party constitutes, or when duly executed and delivered by such
Obligor or Subsidiary will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of such
Obligor or such Subsidiary enforceable against it in accordance with its respective
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law.
(e) No Violation. Except for those consents required in connection with the Lenders
exercising their rights under Section 8.02 hereof, neither the execution and
delivery of the Facility Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, will conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and
provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) a default
under, its organizational documents or any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which such Obligor or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or their property is otherwise bound, or
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties pursuant to
the terms of any such indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
agreement or instrument, other than this Agreement and the Security Documents, or violate
any Requirements of Law applicable to it of any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over it or any of its properties if such violation, individually or in the
aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to the
best of such Obligor’s knowledge threatened in writing, against it before any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency, or other tribunal or governmental instrumentality
(i) asserting the invalidity of any Facility Document, (ii) seeking to prevent the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any Facility Document, or (iii)
seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; provided, however, that this representation shall not apply to (x)
matters that have been disclosed to the Lender Agent in writing prior to closing, or (y)
matters arising from the attempts of the Obligors to enforce their rights with respect to
the Collateral other than purported or certified class action law suits involving any
portion of the Collateral or Supporting Assets consisting of mortgage loans which have a
material impact on the enforceability or value of the such mortgage loans or the Lender’s
security therein.
(g) Government Approvals. No authorization, consent, approval, or other action by,
and no notice to or filing with, any court, governmental authority or regulatory body or
other Person, domestic or foreign, is required for its due execution, delivery or
performance of any Facility Document to which such Obligor is a party except for (i)
consents that have been obtained in connection with transactions
contemplated by the Facility Documents, (ii) filings to perfect the security
interest created by the Security Documents and consents required in connection with the

18
(h) Solvent: Fraudulent Conveyance. Such Obligor and its Subsidiaries are Solvent
and will not cease to be Solvent due to any Loan or any Guaranty hereunder (both
immediately before and after giving effect to such Loan or Guaranty). The amount of
consideration being received by an Obligor upon its pledge or provision of any Collateral
to the First Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties constitutes
reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Collateral. No Obligor is
pledging or providing any Collateral with any intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any of
its creditors.
(i) Margin Regulations. Margin Stock (as defined in the regulations of the Board)
constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of it that are subject to any
limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder. No Obligor is engaged in the
business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no
proceeds of Loans will be used to purchase or carry Margin Stock or otherwise for a
purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, F.R.S. Board Regulations T, U or X.
(j) Accurate Reports. No written information, exhibit, financial statement,
document, book, record, or report furnished or to be furnished or caused to be furnished
by such Obligor to the Lender Agent or any Lender in connection with the Facility
Documents was inaccurate in any material respect as of the date it was dated or (except
as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Lenders or the Lender Agent at such time) as of
the date so furnished, or contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state
a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(k) No Default. No Default has occurred and is continuing.
(l) Investment Company Act. Neither such Obligor nor any of its Subsidiaries is
required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.
(m) Taxes. Each of such Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all material
United States federal tax returns and all other material returns that are required to be
filed, and has paid all material taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any
assessment received by it, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and as to which adequate reserves
have been provided in accordance with GAAP. The charges, accruals and reserves on the
books of such Obligor in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the
opinion of such Obligor, adequate.
(n) Approved Servicer. With respect to the Borrowers only, each Borrower is
approved by Xxxxxx Xxx as an approved lender, and GMAC Mortgage is approved by each of
Xxxxxxx Mac and Xxxxxx Xxx as an approved seller, HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of
the National Housing Act, the FHA as an FHA Approved
Mortgagee and Servicer, and the VA as a VA Approved Lender. GMAC Mortgage is
approved by Xxxxxxx Mac, Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxx Xxx as an approved servicer. In each such
case, (w) each Borrower is in good standing with Xxxxxxx Mac, Xxxxxx Xxx, HUD, the FHA,
and/or the VA, as applicable, (x) no circumstances exist that would either entitle
Xxxxxxx Mac, Xxxxxx Xxx, HUD, the FHA or the VA to revoke or suspend any such approvals
or entitle Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx to terminate
Loan Agreement
19
any Borrower as servicer for cause under any servicing arrangement, (y) no Borrower
has received from Xxxxxxx Mac, Xxxxxx Xxx, HUD, the FHA or the VA any notice revoking or
suspending, or indicating any intent to revoke or suspend or indicating any adverse fact
or circumstance which could reasonably be expected to entitle Xxxxxxx Mac, Xxxxxx Xxx,
HUD, the FHA or the VA, as the case may be, to revoke or suspend any of the
aforementioned approvals, and (z) each FHA Insurance Contract and VA Guaranty Agreement
applicable to the Borrowers or any other Obligor or their Subsidiaries is in full force
and effect.
(o) Financial Statements. (i) ResCap has delivered to the Lender Agent a copy of
(1) ResCap’s audited, consolidated financial statements dated as of December 31, 2007,
comprised of the consolidated statements of income or operations and cash flows for the
preceding twelve (12) month period and the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31,
2007, and (2) ResCap’s quarterly consolidated financial report for the period ended March
31, 2008; each was prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the

since March 31, 2008, other than as has been previously disclosed by the Borrowers or
ResCap to the Lenders or the Lender Agent prior to the date hereof, there has been no
change in such financial condition or results of operation that is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as discussed in the financial statements, it is
not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually, or in the
aggregate, has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(q) Location of Books and Records. The location where such Obligor keeps its books
and records, including all electronic files and records relating to the Collateral that
it owns, is its chief executive office or such other location as disclosed to the Lender
Agent in writing.
(r) Compliance with Laws. It is in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable Requirements of Law; provided that any such failure to comply with
applicable Requirements of Law with respect to MHF Assets resulting solely from a default
by a third-party customer of MHF in the performance of its obligations (including any
obligation to comply with law) to MHF shall not constitute an Event of
Default unless such failure to comply could reasonably be expected to give rise to
liabilities payable out of Collateral other than MHF Assets.

has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable

Section 8.02. Remedies.

Required Lenders) by written notice to the Borrowers, terminate the Facility, terminate the

(b) Automatic Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in

Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, without demand or notice of any kind.
(c) Remedies. Upon any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this
Section 8.02, the Lender Parties, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this
Agreement or otherwise, shall have all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each
applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative. Each of the
Obligors agrees, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice from the Lender Agent, to
assemble, at their expense, all of the Collateral that is in their possession (whether by return,
repossession, or otherwise) at a place designated by the Lender Agent. All costs incurred by the
Lender Parties in the collection of all Obligations, and the enforcement of their rights hereunder,
including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, shall constitute Obligations and be paid out of the
Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the
acceleration
of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Lender Agent, the Collateral Control
Agent, the First Priority Collateral Agent and any Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by
Loan Agreement
33
applicable law, without notice, advertisement, hearing or process of law of any kind, (i) enter
upon any premises where any of the Collateral which is in the possession of any Obligor (whether by
return, repossession, or otherwise) may be located and take possession of and remove such
Collateral, (ii) sell any or all of such Collateral, free of all rights and claims of the Obligors
therein and thereto, at any public or private sale, and (iii) bid for and purchase any or all of
such Collateral at any such sale. Any such sale shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable
manner and in accordance with applicable law. Each of the Obligors hereby expressly waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notices, advertisements, hearings or
process of law in connection with the exercise by the Lender Parties of any of their rights and
remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Each of the Lender Parties and the Obligors
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bid for and purchase any or all Collateral at any
public or private sale. Each of the Obligors hereby agrees that in any sale of any of the
Collateral, the Lender Parties are hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction
in connection with such sale as they may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any
violation of applicable law (including, without limitation, compliance with such procedures as may
restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders
and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to
Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment
and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any
required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority, and each of the
Obligors further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or
deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender Parties shall not be
liable for any sale, private or public, conducted in accordance with this Section 8.02(c).
If an Event of Default occurs, and upon acceleration of the Loans hereunder, the Loans and all
other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and collections on the Collateral and
proceeds of sales and securitizations of Collateral will be used to pay the Obligations. At any
time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender Agent may (and shall at
the direction of any Lender) appoint, at its own expense, one or more third parties to service all
or a portion of the Collateral by giving written notice thereof to the Obligors; provided
that any such appointment shall not conflict with any existing contractual servicing arrangements
with respect to the Collateral. Each Obligor agrees that it will cooperate with and assist any
such third-party servicer (including providing access to, and transferring, all records and
allowing the new servicer to use (to the extent legally permissible) all licenses, hardware or
software necessary or desirable to service the Collateral).

directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c)
all amounts payable by the Obligors shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct
voting rights hereunder. The Obligors agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and
the Notes are due and
Loan Agreement
36
payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be
deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were
owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or such Note; provided that if any
Lender or any Participant shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary,
involuntary, by application of setoff or offset or otherwise) on account of principal of or
interest on any Loan in excess of its pro rata share of payments (after giving
effect to all participations hereunder) and other recoveries obtained by such Lender and the
Participants on account of principal of and interest on the Loans then held by them, such Lender or
the applicable Participant (as the case may be) shall purchase from the other party or parties such
participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Person to
share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all
or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Person, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery. Each Obligor also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.07(b), 2.07(c) and 3.02 as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment (provided that such Participant shall have complied with the
requirements of said Section as though it were a Lender that acquired its interest by assignment).
(b) In the event that a Lender sells participations in any Loan, Note or the obligation to
make Loans or any interest of such Lender, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters
the name of all participants in the Loan or Note held by it and the principal amount (and interest
thereon) of the portion of the Loan or Note which is the subject of the participation (the
“Participant Register”). A Loan or Note may be participated in whole or in part only by
registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall
expressly so provide). Any participation of such Loan or Note may be effected only by the
registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.01. Indemnities by the Borrowers. Without limiting any other rights which
any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, and in consideration of the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the Facility evidenced by the Facility Documents, the Borrowers
hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Lenders, the Lender Agent, the First Priority
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Control Agent and their respective Affiliates, successors,
permitted transferees and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons,
employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith
on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, obligations
penalties, causes of action, demands, judgments, suits and related costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to
as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a
result of (a) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of any Loan; (b) the entering into and performance of any Facility
Document
Loan Agreement
37
by any of the Indemnified Parties; (c) the Facility Documents, the Loans and the extension
of the Commitments, the failure of any Obligor to comply with the terms of the Facility Documents
or Requirements of Law, the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of any Obligor set forth
in the Facility Documents or in a certificate, instrument or document delivered in connection
therewith, and the use by any Obligor of the proceeds of any Loans; (d) any investigation,
litigation or proceeding related to any acquisition or proposed acquisition by any Obligor or any
Subsidiary thereof of all or any portion of the capital stock or assets of any Person, whether or
not an Indemnified Party is party thereto; and (e) any transaction contemplated under the Facility
Documents; excluding, however, (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment determines that they resulted from gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party; (ii) any lost
profits (other than in connection with Breakage Costs) or indirect, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages of any Indemnified Party; and (iii) any and all present or future taxes,
fees, levies, imposts, deductions, duties, withholdings, assessments or other charges imposed by
any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable
thereto, which shall be governed by the terms of Section 3.02. Without limiting the
foregoing, in any suit, proceeding or action brought by any Indemnified Party in connection with
any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Collateral, the
Borrowers will save, indemnify and hold the applicable Indemnified Party harmless from and against
all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or
reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a
breach by either Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement,
indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its
successors from the Borrowers. The Borrowers also agree to reimburse the Indemnified Parties as
and when billed by such party for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of
such party’s rights under this Agreement, the Notes, any other Facility Document, any Security
Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the fees
and disbursements of its counsel. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that, notwithstanding the fact
that the Notes are secured by the Collateral, the obligation of the Borrowers under the Notes are
recourse obligations of the Borrowers. Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be
liable to the Borrowers for any lost profits (other than in connection with Breakage Costs) or
indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
Section 10.02. General Provisions. If for any reason the indemnification provided
above in Section 10.01 (and subject to the limitations on indemnification contained
therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party
harmless on the basis of public policy, then the Borrowers shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified
Party on the one
hand and the Borrowers on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The provisions of this Article X shall survive the termination or assignment of this
Agreement, the payment of the Obligations and the resignation or removal of any of the Indemnified
Parties.
Loan Agreement

ARTICLE XI
GUARANTEE
Section 11.01. Unconditional Guarantee. To induce the Lenders to enter into this
Agreement, each of the Guarantors jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to the Lender Parties and their successors and permitted assigns (a) the
prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, or otherwise by
required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise), of the Obligations now or
hereafter owing; and (b) all renewals, rearrangements, increases, extensions for any period,
substitutions, modification, amendments or supplements in whole or in part of any of the Facility
Documents or obligations (in each case including all such amounts which would become due but for
the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy
Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)).
Section 11.02. Nature of Guarantee. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (a) are
continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable; (b) shall remain in full force and effect
until all Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments have terminated or expired
(unless this Guarantee is reinstated pursuant to the terms of this Article XI); and (c)
shall not be affected by (i) the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection or extent of any
collateral therefor, the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Facility Documents, (ii) the
absence of any action to enforce any Obligor’s obligations under any of the Facility Documents or
to otherwise assert any claim or enforce any right of any Lender Party under the Facility Documents
or in or to the Collateral, (iii) any waiver or consent by any Obligor with respect to any
provisions of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, (iv) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other
extension, increase, compromise or renewal of any Obligation, (v) any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination of any Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver,
release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor
hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity,
compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations, (vi)
any amendment to, extension, variance, alteration, rescission, waiver, increase, or other
modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of this Agreement or any other
Facility Document including, without limitation, any increase or reduction to the rate of interest
on all or any of the Obligations, (vii) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or
non-perfection of any Collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or
consent to departure from, any other guaranty or any other security document, held by a Lender
Party, (viii) the insolvency of any other Obligor, or (ix) any other circumstance relating to the
Obligations that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to this Guarantee. Each of the
Guaranties under this Article XI is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection, and each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees that any Lender Party may resort to
such Guarantor for payment of any of the Obligations owed to it whether or not such Lender Party
shall have resorted to any collateral therefor or shall have proceeded against any Person
principally or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, including any Obligor, and whether or
not such Lender Party has pursued any other remedy available to it. No Lender Party shall be
obligated to
Loan Agreement
39
file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that any Obligor becomes
subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the applicable
Lender Party to so file shall not affect any obligation of a Guarantor hereunder. In the event
that any payment to the Lender Parties in respect of any Obligations owed to them is rescinded or
must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantors shall remain jointly and
severally liable hereunder with respect to such Obligations as if such payment had not been made
and the Guarantee shall be reinstated, if applicable. At any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of any Lender Party, and at the sole expense of the Guarantors, the Guarantors will
furnish such information regarding the financial well-being of the Guarantors as may be reasonably
requested by such Lender Party.
Section 11.03. Certain Agreements; Waivers of Certain Notices. Each Guarantor
authorizes each Lender Party, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability
hereunder, from time to time, to forbear, indulge or take other action or inaction in respect of
this Guarantee or the Obligations, or to exercise or not exercise any right or remedy hereunder or
otherwise with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor waives (a) promptness, diligence,
presentment, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and
this Article XI and any requirement that any Lender Party protect, secure, perfect or
insure any security interest or Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take
any action against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person (including any other guarantor)
or any collateral securing the Obligations; (b) all rights that it may have now or in the future
under any statute, or at common law, or in law or equity, or otherwise, to the extent allowed under
Requirements of Law, to compel any Lender Party to xxxxxxxx assets or to proceed in respect of
Obligations guaranteed hereunder or under any Facility Document against any Borrower or any other
Guarantor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the
Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Guarantor; and
(c) each and every right to which it may be entitled by virtue of the suretyship under Requirements
of Law. It is agreed among each Guarantor and the Lender Parties that the foregoing waivers and
the other waivers contained in this Agreement are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement (including Article XI) and the Facility Documents and that, but for the
provisions of this Section 11.03 and such waivers, the Lender Parties would decline to
enter into this Agreement.
Section 11.04. Waiver of Subrogation. Until two years and one day after the
Obligations are repaid in full in cash and the Commitments have expired or terminated, each
Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all
defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. If any amounts are paid to
the Guarantors in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Lender Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender Agent for the
account of the Lender Parties to reduce the amount of outstanding Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured. Subject to the foregoing, upon payment of any of the Obligations, the Guarantors shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Lender Parties against other Obligors with respect to such
Obligations.
Section 11.05. Taxes. All payments by the Guarantors hereunder will be subject to
Section 3.02.
Loan Agreement
40
Section 11.06. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees that
the Obligations will be paid to each Lender Party without set-off or counterclaim, in lawful
currency of the United States of America at the offices of each Lender Party specified by each
Lender Party for such payment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged
or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any
currency except to the extent to which such tender or recovery shall result in the effective
receipt by each applicable Lender Party of the full amount of the currency or currencies owing
under this Guarantee, and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each applicable
Lender Party (as an alternative or additional cause of action) for the amount (if any) by which
such effective receipt shall fall short of the full amount of currency or currencies owing under
this Guarantee and such obligation to indemnify shall not be affected by judgment being obtained
for any other sums due hereunder.
Section 11.07. Severability of Article XI. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Article XI will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Article XI is prohibited by or invalid under such law,
such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Article
XI. Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Article
XI to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is brought in whatever form and
in whatever forum seeking to invalidate any Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XI
under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar avoidance theory, whether
under state or federal law, such Guarantor (the “Affected Guarantor”), automatically and
without any further action being required of such Affected Guarantor or any Lender Party, shall be
liable under this Article XI only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability
that could have been incurred under applicable law by such Affected Guarantor under any guaranty of
the Obligations (or any portion thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this
Article XI (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining
the enforceability of such Affected Guarantor’s obligations hereunder for fraudulent conveyance or
transfer (or similar avoidance) purposes, on the date determined to be so appropriate) without
rendering such a hypothetical guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other grounds for avoidance (such highest amount determined
hereunder being any such Affected Guarantor’s “Maximum Guaranty Amount”), and not for any
greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Article XI as to such Affected Guarantor
had instead been the Maximum Guaranty Amount. This Section 11.07 is intended solely to
preserve the rights of the Lender Parties under this Article XI to the maximum extent not
subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither any Affected Guarantor nor any other person
or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 11.07 with respect to the
limitation described in this Article XI, except to the extent necessary so that the
obligations of any Affected Guarantor under this Article XI
shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the determination of a Maximum Guaranty Amount for any Affected Guarantor pursuant to
the provisions of the second preceding sentence of this Section 11.07 shall not in any
manner reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of any other Guarantor (including any other
Affected Guarantor) under the provisions of this Article XI.
Section 11.08. Acceleration of Guarantee. Each Guarantor agrees that, in the event of
the dissolution or insolvency of any Obligor, or the inability or failure of any Obligor to pay
debts as
Loan Agreement
41
they become due, or an assignment by any Obligor for the benefit of creditors, or the
commencement of any case or proceeding in respect of any Obligor under any bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar laws, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Obligations of any Obligor
may not then be due and payable, such Guarantor will pay to the Lender Agent for the account of the
Lender Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Guarantor if all
such Obligations were then due and payable.
Section 11.09. Election of Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
if any Lender Party proceeds to realize its benefits under any Facility Documents giving any Lender
or the First Priority Collateral Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, either by judicial foreclosure
or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, such Lender Party may, at its option acting in its sole
discretion, determine which remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights
and remedies under this Article XI. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies,
any Lender Party shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a
deficiency judgment against any Obligor or any other Person, whether because of any Requirements of
Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Guarantor hereby consents to such action
and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the applicable Lender or First
Priority Collateral Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that
such Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such action by such Lender Party. Any election of
remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of any Lender Party to seek a
deficiency judgment against any other Obligor shall not impair any Guarantor’s obligation to pay
the full amount of the Obligations under this Article XI.
Section 11.10. Benefit to Guarantor. Each Guarantor represents and agrees that (a)
its business is integrally related to the business of the Borrowers and that it is in the best
interests of the Guarantor to execute this Agreement inasmuch as such Guarantor will derive
substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Loans made from time to time to the Borrowers;
(b) such Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Obligations; and (c) such Guarantor agrees that the
Lender Parties are relying on this representation in agreeing to make Loans to the Borrower.
ARTICLE XII
LENDER AGENT
Section 12.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject
to Section 12.09) appoints and designates GMAC LLC as the Lender Agent under and for
purposes of the Facility Documents and hereby authorizes the Lender Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Facility Document and to exercise
such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required of
it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Facility Document, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document, the Lender Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Lender Agent have or
be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Facility Document or otherwise exist against the Lender Agent.
Loan Agreement
42
Section 12.02. Delegation of Duties. The Lender Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement or any other Facility Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in
fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
The Lender Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney
in fact that it selects with reasonable care.
Section 12.03. Liability of Lender Agent. None of the Lender Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Facility Document or
the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct),
or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by the Obligors or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Obligors, or
any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document, or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Lender Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or the
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Facility Document, or for any failure of the Obligors or any other party to any Facility Document
to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Lender Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of
the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Obligors or any of the Obligors’ Subsidiaries or
Affiliates.
Section 12.04. Reliance by Lender Agent. The Lender Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, email, telex or telephone message, statement
or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including counsel to the Obligors), independent accountants and other experts selected by
the Lender Agent. The Lender Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Facility Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of each Lender as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation
from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify the Lender Agent against any and all liability
and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
The Lender Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Facility Document in accordance with a request or consent of the
Required Lenders or, to the extent expressly required by Section 13.01 or any other
provision of the Facility Documents, all Lenders.
Section 12.05. Notice of Default. The Lender Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency, unless the
Lender Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or
describing such Borrowing Base Deficiency. The Lender Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt
of any such notice. The Lender Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be
requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8.02; provided that,
unless and until the Lender Agent has received any such request, the Lender Agent may (but
Loan Agreement
43
shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders (except to the extent
that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not taken, only with the
consent of the Required Lenders or all Lenders).
Section 12.06. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that the Lender Agent has
not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Lender Agent hereafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Lender Agent to any Lender. Each Lender
represents to the Lender Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Lender
Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors, and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Lender Agent and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Facility
Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
the Obligors. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Lender Agent, the Lender Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers
that may come into the possession of the Lender Agent.
Section 12.07. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Lender Agent and its directors,
officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Obligors and
without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), pro rata based on their
Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts; provided that, no Lender
shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Amounts
resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Lender Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any
costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by the Lender Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Facility Document, or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Lender Agent is not
reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Obligors. The undertaking in this Section
shall survive
repayment of the Loans, termination of the Commitments, cancellation of the Notes, any
foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral
Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Lender Agent.
Section 12.08. Lender Agent in Individual Capacity. The Lender Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Lender
Agent were not
Loan Agreement
44
the Lender Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. Each of
the Lenders acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender Agent or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding the Obligors or their respective Affiliates (including information
that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Obligors or their Affiliates)
and acknowledges that the Lender Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to
them. With respect to their Loans (if any), the Lender Agent and its Affiliates shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
the Lender Agent were not the Lender Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Lender
Agent and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.
Section 12.09. Successor Lender Agent. The Lender Agent may resign as Lender Agent
upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Lender Agent resigns under this Agreement, the
Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no
successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Lender Agent,
the Lender Agent may appoint, after consulting with (but without the consent of) the Lenders, a
successor agent which shall be a Lender or a commercial banking institution organized under the
laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a
commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Lender Agent and the term “Lender
Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Lender Agent’s appointment, powers and
duties as Lender Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Lender Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Lender Agent, the provisions of this Article XII and Article X shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Lender Agent
under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Lender Agent by the date
that is 30 days following a retiring Lender Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Lender
Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all
of the duties of the Lender Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
Section 12.10.
Funding Reliance. Unless the Lender Agent shall have been notified in
writing by any Lender by 3:00 p.m. (
New York City time) on the Business Day prior to a Funding Date
that such Lender will not make available the amount that would constitute its Pro Rata Share of the
requested Loans on the date specified therefor, the Lender Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such amount available to the Lender Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, may make
available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount;
provided that the Lender Agent shall be
under no obligation whatsoever to advance funds to the Borrowers on behalf of any Lender or to the
Lenders on behalf of the Borrowers. However, if in its sole and
absolute discretion the Lender Agent does so advance funds, the applicable Lender and the
Borrowers jointly and severally (in the case of an advance to the Borrowers on behalf of a Lender)
or any Lender receiving payments and the Borrowers (in the case of an advance to a Lender on behalf
of the Borrowers) agree to repay such amount to the Lender Agent forthwith on demand, together with
interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such borrowing for each day
from the date the Lender Agent made such funds available to the Borrowers to the date such amount
is repaid to the Lender Agent. Nothing set forth in this
Loan Agreement
45
section shall relieve any Lender of any
obligation it may have to make any Loan, or any Obligor to make any payment, hereunder.
Section 12.11. Security Matters; Release of Collateral.
(a) Each Lender and other
Lender Party (by their acceptance of the benefits of any Collateral) acknowledges and agrees that
the Lender Agent, the Collateral Control Agent and/or the First Priority Collateral Agent have
entered into the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreement) on
behalf of the Lender Parties, and the Lender Parties hereby agree to be bound by the terms of such
Security Documents, acknowledge receipt of copies of such Security Documents and consent to the
rights, powers, remedies, indemnities and exculpations given to the Lender Agent, the First
Priority Collateral Agent and/or the Collateral Control Agent thereunder. All rights, powers and
remedies available to the Lender Agent, the First Priority Collateral Agent, the Collateral Control
Agent and the Lender Parties with respect to the Collateral, or otherwise pursuant to the Security
Documents, shall be subject to the provisions of such Security Documents. In the event of any
conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and
provisions of such Security Documents, the terms and provisions of such Security Documents shall
govern and control except that this Agreement shall govern and control the rights, powers, duties,
immunities and indemnities of the Lender Agent. Each Lender and other Lender Party (by their
acceptance of the benefits of any Collateral) hereby authorizes the Lender Agent, the Collateral
Control Agent and/or the First Priority Collateral Agent to release (or authorize the release of)
any collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Facility
Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the First Priority Collateral Agent and the Collateral
Control Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrowers, at the Borrowers’ joint and several cost and
expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents
reasonably requested by the Borrowers in connection with any sale or other disposition of property
to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of this Agreement or is
otherwise authorized by the terms of the Facility Documents.
(b) No Collateral shall be released from the security interest created by the Security
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender Agent unless:
(i) If Financing Assets are sold or financed in the ordinary course of an Obligor’s
business pursuant to a Bilateral Facility, the Lien on such Asset shall be released
automatically concurrently with sale or financing;
(ii) If Financing Assets with a Carrying Value of less than $100,000,000 are sold or
financed in the ordinary course of an Obligor’s business, the Lien on such Asset shall be
released automatically concurrently with sale or financing; or
(iii) If an Agency Asset is sold in the ordinary course of an Obligor’s trading
activities to a Person that is not an Affiliate of an Obligor, such Agency Asset shall be
automatically released concurrently with such sale.
Any such release shall not become effective unless an Obligor shall have directed the First
Priority Collateral Agent to release the applicable Collateral by delivering a Collateral
Loan Agreement
46

Certificate to the First Priority Collateral Agent. In connection with any release effectuated
pursuant to this Section 12.11 hereof, the First Priority Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any such Collateral
Release Certificate, and shall incur no liability to any Person in connection with acting in

shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval
by any Lender Party under any Facility Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such

representation and warranty, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of
making any Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to
have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge or
reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such
Loan was made.
Section 13.12. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.
(a) Each Borrower has
determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuance of its legitimate business purposes to
induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement. Each Borrower
acknowledges and represents that its business is integrally related to the business of the other
Borrower, that the availability of the Commitments benefits each Borrower individually and that the
Loans made will be for and inure to the benefit of each of the Borrowers individually and as a
group. Accordingly, each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable (as a principal and not as
a surety, guarantor or other accommodation party) for each and every representation, warranty,
covenant and obligation (including payment, indemnification and reimbursement obligations) to be
performed by the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Facility Documents, and
each Borrower acknowledges that in extending the credit provided herein the Lenders are relying
upon the fact that the obligations of each Borrower hereunder are the joint and several obligations
of a principal. The invalidity, unenforceability or illegality of this Agreement, the Notes or any
other Facility Document as to one Borrower or the release by the Lender Parties of a Borrower
hereunder or thereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the other Borrower under this
Agreement, the Notes or the other Facility Documents, all of which
shall otherwise remain valid and legally binding obligations of the other Borrower. Any
Borrower that makes a payment or distribution hereunder will be entitled to a contribution from the
other Borrower in a
Loan Agreement
50
pro rata amount, based on the adjusted net assets of each
Borrower determined in accordance with GAAP (provided that such Borrower shall not exercise
any right or remedy against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of
any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder until one year and
one day after the Obligations have been repaid in full in cash and the Commitments have terminated
or expired). The provisions of this Section 13.12 shall in no respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of each Borrower to the Lender Parties, and each Borrower shall remain
liable to the Lender Parties for the full amount of the Obligations.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s
obligations under this Section 13.12 (which obligations are in any event in addition to all
liabilities in respect of Loans advanced to such Borrower) shall be limited to an amount not to
exceed as of any date of determination the greater of: (i) the net amount of all Loans advanced to
or for the account of the other Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise
transferred to such Borrower; and (ii) the amount that could be claimed by any Lender Party from
such Borrower under this Section 13.12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable
under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after
taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification
from the other Borrower.
(c) Each Borrower assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial
condition of each other Borrower, and each Borrower agrees that the Lender Parties shall not have
any duty to advise such Borrower of information known to the Lender Parties regarding such
condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular
business routine. If the Lender Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time
to time to provide any such information to a Borrower, such Lender Party shall be under no
obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Borrower on
any subsequent occasion.
(d) If (i) one or both Borrowers are entitled to a return of excess interest or other amounts
or payments delivered under the Facility Documents, or the return of surplus funds or monies from
bank accounts maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Facility Documents or the
return of any other Collateral or any other proceeds of Collateral (a “Returned Amount”),
and (ii) the Lender Parties are uncertain as to which Borrower is entitled to the Returned Amount,
in the absence of a promptly delivered joint notice from the Borrowers regarding the return of such
Returned Amount, the Lender Parties may either return the Returned Amount to the Borrower they in
good faith believe to be entitled to the same (and the Lender Parties shall not be liable for so
doing provided that the Lender Parties acted in good faith) or, at the joint and several
expense of the Borrowers, interplead such Returned Amount or take such other actions or exercise
such rights or remedies as permitted by Requirements of Law.
(e) Each Borrower agrees that any notices and information to be provided to any Borrower or
both Borrowers by any Lender Party under the Facility Documents may be sent to both Borrowers or
either Borrower, regardless of whether or not a receiving Borrower is actually
the relevant Borrower or the appropriate person or persons to whom such notice or information
should be addressed or delivered (and each Borrower hereby agrees that no Lender
Loan Agreement
51
Party will be
liable to the Borrowers for the failure to deliver such notice or information to the appropriate
recipient). Each Borrower hereby waives all confidentiality rights with respect to the delivery of
all such notices and information and agrees that no Lender Party shall be liable for delivering a
notice or information to a Borrower that is not the relevant Borrower or the appropriate recipient
of such notice or information. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has received full and
sufficient consideration for this provision and that this provision is a material inducement for
the Lender Agent and each Lender entering into the loan documents.
Section 13.13. Obligors Bound by Intercreditor Agreement. Each Obligor agrees that
ResCap and the Borrowers are entering into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of all the
Obligors, and further agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement
(including any amendments, supplements, restatements or other modifications thereto) is if it were
a signatory thereto.
Section 13.14. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each of the First Priority Collateral Agent
and the Collateral Control Agent is an express third-party beneficiary hereof.
Section 13.15. First Priority Collateral Agent; Capacity under this Agreement and
Protections Afforded. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. is party to this Agreement solely in its capacity
as First Priority Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement and solely for purposes of
Section 12.11(b) herein. The First Priority Collateral Agent shall be fully protected
under this Agreement with respect to any action or inaction hereunder by the indemnities, costs,
expenses and other protective provisions set forth for its benefit under the Security Agreement.

Exception on the Exception Report, and not later than the Trust Receipt Delivery Deadline, post the
Exception Report on a secure website to which the Financing Party shall have been given access, or

included in the Mortgage Files delivered to it, that such related documents on their faces satisfy
the Examination Requirements set forth in the Custodial Agreement Supplement in all respects and

the
applicable Financing Parties, the Custodian shall deliver to the applicable Financing Parties

Trust Receipts shall be delivered to the applicable Financing Parties at the notice addresses
specified in the related Custodial Agreement Supplements by overnight delivery using a nationally
recognized insured overnight delivery service.
(b) Under no circumstances shall the Custodian be obligated to verify the authenticity of any
signature (except those signature provided in Exhibit K hereto and those signatures as may be
provided in Exhibit D of the related Custodial Agreement Supplement) on any of the documents
received or examined by it in connection with this Agreement or the authority or capacity of any
person to execute or issue any such document, nor shall the Custodian be responsible for the value,
form, substance, validity, perfection, priority, effectiveness or enforceability of any of such
documents.
5
(c) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the related Seller shall
notify the Custodian of the need to examine a Mortgage File and deliver a related Trust Receipt
within a mutually agreed upon time frame prior to the date on which such Trust Receipt is required
to be delivered.
(d) The schedule of Mortgage Assets attached to any Trust Receipt shall be amended by the
Custodian as applicable and each subsequently transmitted schedule of Mortgage Assets shall
automatically supersede each prior schedule of Mortgage Assets with respect to such Trust Receipt,
and shall render all previously transmitted schedules of Mortgage Assets null and void. The
applicable Financing Parties may request the Custodian to provide a paper copy of the most recent
schedule of Mortgage Assets transmitted by the Custodian via Electronic Transmission or posted to a
secure website to which such Financing Parties shall have been given access with respect to a
related Trust Receipt. The applicable Financing Parties may also request Custodian to deliver to
such Financing Parties or their respective designees a schedule of Mortgage Assets with respect to
all Mortgage Assets then subject to Transactions with such Financing Parties. Except as
specifically provided in this Section 4, the Custodian shall be under no duty to review, inspect or
examine such documents to determine that any of them are enforceable or appropriate for their
prescribed purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. The related
Seller shall be solely responsible for providing each and every document required for each Mortgage
File to the Custodian in a timely manner and for completing or correcting any missing, incomplete
or inconsistent documents, and the Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for taking any such
action, causing such Seller or any other Person or entity to do so or notifying any Person (other
than the related Financing Party to the extent specifically required in this Agreement) that any
such action has or has not been taken. It is specifically agreed that the Custodian shall have no
responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of any
assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether any document has been recorded
in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment
is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.
(e) No Trust Receipt shall be valid for any purpose unless substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A attached hereto or in any Exhibit of any Custodial Agreement Supplement
and executed by manual signature of an Authorized Representative of the Custodian. Such
signature upon any Trust Receipt shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Trust Receipt has been duly delivered under this Agreement. Trust Receipts bearing the manual
signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, Authorized
Representatives of the Custodian shall bind the Custodian, notwithstanding that such individuals
have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of those Trust Receipts. Each Trust Receipt
shall have attached thereto a Loan Data Transmission with an Exception Report with respect to the
applicable Mortgage Assets and shall otherwise comply with Section 4(e) of this Agreement.
(f) Upon the delivery of a Trust Receipt by the Custodian to the related Financing Party in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any prior Trust Receipt relating to the same Mortgage
Assets shall be cancelled without any further action of any party and be deemed void.
SECTION 5. Possession of Mortgage Files.
(a) Possession of Mortgage Files on Behalf of Financing Party. The Custodian shall,
following the related transfer pursuant to Section 3 above, hold all documents received by
it for the sole and exclusive use and benefit of the applicable Financing Party and as agent and
bailee of and custodian solely for such Financing Party for all purposes. The Custodian shall
segregate and retain continuous possession and custody of the Mortgage Files in secure and
fire-resistant facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody. The Custodian
shall also make appropriate notations in the
6
Custodian’s books and records reflecting that the Mortgage Files are subject to the control of the
applicable Financing Party. The Custodian shall not release any portion of the Mortgage Files to
any Seller or to any other party without the prior written authorization of the applicable
Financing Party, unless otherwise required to do so by a final, nonappealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(b) Upon surrender of the Trust Receipt by the related Financing Party to the Custodian, such
Financing Party may issue instructions regarding the Mortgage Assets designated in the applicable
Trust Receipt, including instructions, if an Event of Default under the related Transaction has
occurred (and not otherwise except as provided in Section 13(c)), to withdraw Mortgage Assets.
(c) In the event a Trust Receipt is lost, destroyed or otherwise unavailable for surrender to
the Custodian, the applicable Financing Party will present to the Custodian documentation in the
form attached as Exhibit D hereto. Upon receipt by the Custodian of such documentation,
such Financing Party will have the right to issue instructions regarding the Mortgage Assets
covered by a Trust Receipt without surrender of the related Trust Receipt.
(d) The Custodian shall cause to be kept at its corporate trust office a register (the
“Custodial Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Custodian shall reflect the control of Mortgage Assets as confirmed by Trust Receipts as herein
provided. The Custodial Register shall be deemed to contain proprietary information and Custodian,
Sellers and the applicable Financing Party shall have access to such information.
(e) In the event that (i) a Financing Party, any related Seller, or the Custodian shall
be served by a third party with any type of levy, attachment, writ or court order with respect
to any Mortgage File or any document included within a Mortgage File or (ii) a third party shall
institute any court proceeding by which any Mortgage File or a document included within a Mortgage
File shall be required to be delivered otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the party receiving such service shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the
other applicable parties to this Agreement copies of all court papers, orders, documents and other
materials concerning such proceedings. The Custodian shall, to the extent the Custodian, in its
sole discretion, concludes is permitted by law, continue to hold and maintain all the Mortgage
Files that are the subject of such proceedings pending a final, nonappealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction permitting or directing disposition thereof. Upon final determination of
such court, the Custodian shall release, according to the provisions of this agreement, such
Mortgage File or any document included within such Mortgage File as directed by the related
Financing Parties or the related Seller, as applicable, which shall give a direction consistent
with such determination. Expenses of the Custodian (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
related expenses) incurred as a result of such proceedings shall be borne by the related Seller.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the Custodian will not be liable for
taking any action, or not taking any action, that the Custodian, in its sole discretion, concludes
is required by law.
SECTION 6. Release of Custodian’s Mortgage Files.
(a) From time to time and as appropriate for the foreclosure or servicing of any of the
Mortgage Assets by the related Seller or its designee and until the Custodian is otherwise notified
by the applicable Financing Party, which notice shall be given by such Financing Party only
following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the related Transaction, the Custodian is
hereby authorized, upon the written request of such Seller (which may be in an electronic format)
and consent and acknowledgement of such Financing Party in the form of Exhibit E attached
hereto (a “Request for Release”), which consent and acknowledgement shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed and shall be provided the same Business Day the receipt of the request is
received by such Financing Party, to release to such Seller or its designee the related Mortgage
File set forth in such Request for Release
7
together with a transmittal letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (a
“Transmittal Letter”) or an Attorney’s Bailee Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F, as applicable, or any documents contained therein, set forth in such receipt to such
Seller; provided, that if the Mortgage File is released to the related Seller or its designee for
any purpose other than one of the reasons set forth in boxes 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of Exhibit E attached
hereto, such Seller shall ensure that any document released to such Seller or its designee,
pursuant to a Request for Release shall be returned to Custodian no later than ten (10) calendar
days from the date on such Request for Release, other than any Mortgage Asset as to which the
related Mortgage File has been released pursuant to Section 6(c) to an Acceptable Attorney pursuant
to an Attorney’s Bailee Letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. All
documents so released to the related Seller or its designee shall be held by it in trust for the
benefit of the related Financing Party. Such Seller or its designee shall return to the Custodian
the Mortgage File or such documents when its need therefor in connection with servicing no longer
exists.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the sale to a third party purchaser of any of the
Mortgage Assets and until the Custodian is otherwise notified in writing by the applicable
Financing Party, which notice shall be given by such Financing Party only following the occurrence
of an Event of Default under the related Transaction, the Custodian is hereby
authorized, upon receipt of a Request for Release, to release or cause to be released to the
related third party purchaser the Mortgage File or the documents of the related Mortgage File set
forth in such Request for Release together with a Transmittal Letter, which shall be acknowledged
and agreed to by such third party or its designee; provided, that if any such Request for Release
involves the Custodian delivering more than 200 Mortgage Files to a third party (other than to a
trustee in connection with a securitization of the Mortgage Assets) such Request for Release shall
be made on not less than two (2) Business Day’s prior notice; provided further, that any document
released to a third party purchaser pursuant to a Request for Release shall be returned to
Custodian no later than ten (10) calendar days from the date on such transmittal letter, or such
longer period as the applicable Financing Parties may consent to, unless prior thereto Custodian
receives notice from the Financing Party that it has received the “Payoff Amount” set forth
therein. Promptly upon receipt by the Financing Party of the full amount set forth in such
transmittal letter as the “Payoff Amount”, the Financing Party shall notify the Custodian thereof
in writing.
(c) All Mortgage Files or documents of Mortgage Files released by the Custodian to the related
Seller or, at the related Seller’s written direction, the Seller’s designee pursuant to this
Section 6 shall be held by the related Seller or the Seller’s designee, as applicable, in trust for
the benefit of the applicable Financing Party. The related Seller or the Seller’s designee, as
applicable, shall return to the Custodian, the Mortgage File or other such documents of Mortgage
Files when the need therefor in connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists (but
in any event no later than ten (10) calendar days from the date on such Request for Release),
unless the Mortgage Loan related to any Mortgage Asset is to be foreclosed upon or liquidated, in
which case, the Acceptable Attorney to whom the documents were released under cover of an
Attorney’s Bailee Letter, shall deliver to the Custodian a transmittal letter which has been
acknowledged by such Acceptable Attorney.
(d) Each of the Sellers and the Custodian agrees that, at the time any Request for Release of
Mortgage Files is made to the Custodian under this Agreement, the related Financing Party shall be
notified of such release, and a copy of any written Request for Release shall be furnished to such
Financing Party by the related Seller. If the related Seller has not received the related Mortgage
Files within ten (10) Business Days after delivering a Request for Release to the Custodian, then
the related Seller shall so notify such Financing Party.
(e) Following written notification by the applicable Financing Party (which notice to the
Custodian may be by facsimile) to the Custodian that an Event of Default under a related
Transaction has occurred and is continuing, the Custodian shall not release, or incur any liability
to the related Seller or
8
any other Person for refusing to release, any item of any Mortgage File the subject of the
Transaction under which such Event of Default has occurred to the related Seller or any other
Person without the express prior written consent and at the direction of the applicable Financing
Party.
(f) The Custodian shall monitor any release of the Mortgage Files under this Section 6 only to
track the period of time which has elapsed for any such release of such Mortgage Files.
SECTION 7. Release for Payment in Full of Mortgage Asset.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Asset, and upon receipt by the Custodian of a Request
for Release from the related Seller and acknowledged by the applicable Financing Party certifying
that such payment in full has been received, and without further authorization from the Financing
Parties, the Custodian shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the related Seller or,
at such Seller’s written direction, the Seller’s Authorized Representative. The related Seller
shall provide notice to the applicable Financing Party of any such release.
SECTION 8. Final Release.
Each related Seller shall notify the related Financing Parties and the Custodian in writing of
the Mortgage Files to be released upon termination or expiration of a Transaction, at least two (2)
Business Days prior to the date of such termination or expiration, as applicable. Upon receipt by
the Custodian of written notice from the applicable Financing Party in the form of Exhibit G hereto
(or via facsimile or e-mail confirmation from an Authorized Representative) stating that the
related Financing Parties no longer have any right, title or interest in the related Mortgage
Assets, the Custodian shall release to the related Seller or its designee the Mortgage Files with
respect to such Mortgage Assets, and shall deliver to the related Financing Parties an amended
Trust Receipt with a schedule of Mortgage Assets attached thereto, listing all of the Mortgage
Assets still subject to a Transaction with such Financing Party.
SECTION 9. Waiver by the Custodian.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Custodian shall not at any time
exercise or seek to enforce any claim, right or remedy, including any statutory or common law
rights of set-off, if any, that the Custodian might otherwise have against all or any part of a
Mortgage File or the proceeds thereof. The Custodian warrants that it currently holds, and during
the existence of this Agreement shall hold, no adverse interest, by way of a security interest or
otherwise, in any Mortgage Asset and hereby waives and releases any such interest which it may have
in any Mortgage Asset as of the date hereof. The Mortgage Assets shall not be subject to any
security interest, lien or right of set-off by Custodian or any third party claiming through
Custodian (other than in the ordinary course of business), and Custodian shall not pledge,
encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party interest in, the
Mortgage Assets. Custodian, at its own expense shall take all action necessary to defeat and
release any security interest claimed by the Custodian, other than an interest of a Financing
Party.
SECTION 10. Right of Inspection.
Upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Custodian, the related Financing Party,
the related Seller, or their duly authorized representatives, may at any time, during ordinary
business hours, inspect and examine the Mortgage Files and any other documents, records and papers
in the possession of or under the control of the Custodian relating to any or all of the Mortgage
Assets at such place or places where such Mortgage Files are deposited. The examining party shall
be responsible for any reasonable expenses in connection with such examinations. Upon the written
request of the related Seller or
9
Financing Party, the Custodian shall provide the related Seller or Financing Party, as the case may
be, at such requesting party’s expense, with copies of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages,
Assignment of Mortgages and other documents relating to one or more of the Mortgage Assets.
SECTION 11. Custodian’s Fees and Expenses.
The Custodian hereby acknowledges that GMAC Mortgage, LLC has agreed to pay all fees due and
owing to, and except as otherwise provided herein, any expenses incurred by the Custodian
associated with the Mortgage Files delivered by each Seller under this Agreement. The fees due to
the Custodian for its services hereunder shall be as set forth in a separate letter agreement
between the Custodian and GMAC Mortgage, LLC. In addition to the fees referred to in the two
foregoing sentences, GMAC Mortgage, LLC has agreed to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Custodian in connection with the review of each Mortgage File delivered by each Seller or its
agent and the Custodian’s issuance of a Trust Receipt relating thereto. The Financing Parties shall
not have any liability or obligation to pay any fees or expenses of the Custodian, and the duties
of the Custodian hereunder shall be independent of each Seller’s performance of its obligations to
the Custodian in respect of such fees.
SECTION 12. Termination of Agreement.
This Agreement shall become effective on and as of the date hereof and shall terminate upon
the written consent of the parties hereto, provided that, no such termination shall be effective if
any Custodial Agreement Supplement shall be outstanding without the consent of the applicable
Financing Parties thereto.
In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Custodian shall follow the reasonable
instructions of the Financing Parties with respect to the disposition of the respective Mortgage
Files. Concurrently with the transfer and release of all of the Mortgage Files by the Custodian,
the related Trust Receipts shall be deemed void and cancelled.
SECTION 13. Reserved.
SECTION 14. Limitation on Obligations of the Custodian.
(a) Custodian and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact, and
employees shall be liable for its or their failure to perform its or their obligations under this
Agreement, its breach of any of the representations or warranties contained herein and its own or
such person’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
in no event shall the Custodian or its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, counsel,
attorneys-in-fact, and employees be held liable for any special, indirect, punitive or
consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages. The
provisions of this Section 14 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian and the
termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Custodian shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth
herein, and no further duties or obligations shall arise by implication or otherwise. The Custodian
agrees to use its best judgment and good faith in the performance of such obligations and duties
and shall incur no liability to Sellers for its acts or omissions hereunder, except as may result
from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Custodian shall also be entitled to rely
(and shall be protected in relying) upon the advice of its external legal counsel and to rely upon
any written notice, document, correspondence, request or directive received by it from the
Financing Parties or Sellers, as the case may be, that the Custodian believes to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper and duly
10
authorized officer or representative thereof, and shall not be obligated to inquire as to the
authority or power of any Person so executing or presenting such documents or as to the
truthfulness of any statements set forth therein. No provision of this Agreement shall require the
Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance
of its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such
funds or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it.
(c) The Custodian shall at its own expense maintain at all times during the existence of this
Agreement and keep in full force and effect (i) fidelity insurance, (ii) theft and loss of
documents insurance, (iii) forgery insurance, and (iv) errors and omissions insurance. All such
insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as are customary
for insurance typically maintained by banks which act as the Custodian in similar transactions. The
Custodian shall, upon written request, provide to Sellers, or to any other Person as Sellers shall
direct, a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Custodian certifying that the
foregoing insurance policies are in full force and effect. The Custodian shall use its best efforts
to ensure that such insurance shall not terminate prior to receipt by each Financing Party by
registered mail of 30 days’ prior written notice of any such termination.
(d) The Custodian shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns
relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement, other than for the
Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses.
(e) The Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for, and makes no representation or
warranty with respect to, the validity, adequacy or perfection of any lien upon or security
interest in any Mortgage Asset.
(f) The Custodian shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting
from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, riots, acts of war or terrorism, epidemics, governmental or regulatory actions, fire,
communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, or earthquakes (each a “Force
Majeure Event”). The Custodian agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate
the effects of the Force Majeure Event. The Custodian further agrees that it shall give notice
(including a reasonable description of such Force Majeure Event) to the other parties hereto within
a reasonable time of the Custodian having notice or knowledge of such Force Majeure Event and use
its best efforts to resume performance as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.
Custodian further represents that it has developed and implemented a business continuity plan as
required by its regulators.
(g) The duties and obligations of the Custodian shall only be such as are expressly set forth
in this Agreement or as set forth in a written amendment to this Agreement executed by the parties
hereto or their successors and assigns. In the event that any provision of this Agreement implies
or requires that action or forbearance be taken by a party, but is silent as to which party has the
duty to act or refrain from acting, the parties agree that the Custodian shall not be the party
required to take the action or refrain from acting. In no event shall the Custodian have any
responsibility to ascertain or take action except as expressly provided herein.
(h) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose on the Custodian any duty to qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction, other than (i) any jurisdiction where any Mortgage Asset is or
may be held by the Custodian from time to time hereunder, and (ii) any jurisdiction where its
ownership of property or conduct of business requires such qualification and where failure to
qualify could have a material adverse effect on the Custodian or its property or business or on the
ability of the Custodian to perform it duties hereunder.
11
(i) The Custodian shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not any cash amount
or payment has been received by the Financing Parties, the Sellers or any third
person.
SECTION 15. Indemnification.
Each Seller agrees to reimburse, indemnify and hold the Custodian and its directors, officers,
agents and employees harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, or out-of-pocket expenses of any kind or nature
whatsoever, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or
not taken by it or them hereunder unless such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, or out-of-pocket expenses were imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Custodian because of the breach by the Custodian of its obligations hereunder
including, without limitation, any breach of the representations and warranties contained herein,
or caused by the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Custodian or any of
its directors, officers, agents or employees. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any
resignation or removal of the Custodian or the termination or assignment of this Agreement.
In the event that the Custodian fails to produce a Mortgage Note, Assignment of Mortgage or
any other document related to a Mortgage Asset that was in its possession pursuant to Section 3
within two (2) Business Days after written request therefor by the related Financing Party or the
related Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided that (i)
Custodian previously delivered to such Financing Party a Trust Receipt which did not list such
document as an Exception as of the related date of delivery to the Custodian; (ii) such document is
not outstanding pursuant to a Request for Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E; and
(iii) such document was held by the Custodian on behalf of the related Seller or the related
Financing Party, as applicable (a “Failure to Deliver”), then the Custodian shall (a) with respect
to any missing Mortgage Note, promptly and upon request deliver to the related Financing Party or
the related Seller, a Lost Note Affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and (b) with
respect to any missing document related to such Mortgage Asset, including but not limited to a
missing Mortgage Note, indemnify the related Seller or the related Financing Party in accordance
with the succeeding paragraph of this Section 15.
The Custodian agrees to indemnify and hold the Financing Parties and the Sellers harmless
against liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, actions, judgments, suits, costs, or
out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by,
or asserted against it or them relating to or arising out of a Failure to Deliver or the
Custodian’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
specifically understood and agreed that the Custodian shall not be obligated under the preceding
sentence to any party to the extent that any such claim, liability, loss, action, suit or
proceeding or other expense, fee or charge shall have been caused by reason of any negligent act,
negligent failure to act, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such party or by reason of
such party’s breach of its obligations hereunder. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any
termination or assignment of this Agreement. In no event shall the Custodian or its directors,
officers, agents or employees be held liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages
resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any of them hereunder or in
connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

On [date] you issued a trust receipt in the name of [DESIGNATED AGENT] evidencing

You issued that receipt pursuant to the above-referenced Master Custodial Agreement. The trust
receipt has been [lost, destroyed, etc.]. Every effort was made to recover the receipt; those

At the time of its [loss, destruction, etc.], the receipt was held by us under [the terms of
original issue, special endorsement]. Since its [issuance, endorsement] to us, we have not sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise granted an interest in the trust receipt that has not
been released prior to the date hereof. Accordingly, this letter authorizes you to act on our
instructions regarding such Mortgage Assets without surrender of the receipt to you.
We hereby agree to indemnify and hold you harmless against any loss, liability or expense
that you may incur as a result of acting on our instructions regarding such Mortgage Assets
without our surrender of the receipt to you, excluding, however, any such loss, liability or
expense caused by your negligence or willful misconduct or any special, indirect and
consequential damages.
If the trust receipt is ever recovered by us, we will immediately notify you, cancel the
receipt and surrender the receipt to you.

Financing Party:
[ ]
Dear Sir or Madam:
From time to time, we, [Residential Funding Company, LLC] [GMAC Mortgage, LLC] (the
“Seller”), will send to you (or have sent to you) Mortgage Assets for which you have agreed to
commence and prosecute a foreclosure action. In connection with such foreclosure activities,
[copies of]1 1 one or more of the documents evidencing or otherwise relating to such
Mortgage Assets (“Documents”) will be delivered to you.
[ ] (the “Financing Party”), has financed the sale to us or
origination of such Mortgage Assets, and with such sale or origination we granted an ownership
and/or security interest in the Documents referred to below and the Mortgage Assets to which such
Documents relate to the Financing Party. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (the
“Custodian”) is acting as custodian for the Financing Party in connection with the
Documents.
Whenever we send you Documents to be covered by this letter agreement, we will send such
Documents to you under a transmittal letter identifying the specific documents delivered, and the
Mortgage Assets to which they relate, with a space at the end of the letter for you to sign and
to acknowledge your receipt of such Documents. Upon your receipt of any such Documents, you
hereby agree to fax to the Financing Party and the Custodian, no later than three (3) Business
Days after your receipt thereof, our transmittal letter, signed in the acknowledgment space by
you, pursuant to which you (i) acknowledge receipt of the Documents listed in the transmittal
letter, and (ii) acknowledge that with respect to such listed documents you are acting as bailee
of the Financing Party in accordance with the terms of this Attorney’s Bailee Letter.
By signing this letter agreement below where indicated, (a) you agree that on and after the
date hereof until you are otherwise notified by the Financing Party or the Custodian, any
Documents
|

For Acceptable Attorneys to whom copies of the Documents are sent. |
F-1
delivered to you as described above will be held by you as bailee in trust for the Financing
Party, (b) you certify that, as of the date of your receipt of any Documents, you have not
received notice of any interest of any other person or entity in such Documents or the related
Mortgage Assets, (c) you agree that you will commence and diligently prosecute foreclosure
proceedings with respect to the Mortgage Assets to which any such Documents relate and (d) you
certify that if either you or your law firm has any security interest in the Documents or the
Mortgage Assets to which those Documents relate you agree to waive any interest you or your firm
may acquire therein at any time, whether arising pursuant to law or otherwise or to refuse
delivery of such Documents and return them immediately to the Custodian.
The Seller and the Financing Party hereby irrevocably instruct you that any Documents in
your possession are to be held by you as bailee in trust for the Financing Party, as provided
herein until they are returned to the Custodian at the address noted above together with a copy
of this letter agreement; provided that if the Financing Party or the Custodian notifies you that
the Financing Party’s interest in any of above-referenced Mortgage Assets have been released or
did not attach (the “Release Notice”), from the date of such Release Notice you will hold the
Documents relating to such Mortgage Assets (and no others) as bailee for the Seller, in which
case you will follow the Seller’s instructions regarding such Documents, and such Documents shall
be released to the Seller at the address noted above, or its designee, upon conclusion of the
foreclosure action, instead of returning them to the Custodian; and provided further that prior
to the date of any Release Notice, notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary,
if you receive instructions from the Financing Party or the Custodian which do not comport with
instructions you may have received from the Seller, including, without limitation, instructions
to deliver the Documents to the Custodian, the Financing Party or any other person or entity, you
shall abide by the instructions of the Custodian or Financing Party.
You agree to immediately give telephonic notice (followed by written notice) to the
Custodian if you receive notice or any inquiry from any other person or entity of or with respect
to any interest in the Documents or the related Mortgage Assets and you agree that you shall
immediately notify each such person in writing, with a copy to the Custodian, of the prior
interest of the Financing Party therein.
This letter agreement supersedes any letter agreement or other agreement or arrangement that
may exist between you and the Seller relating to the sale or origination of Mortgage Assets
financed by Financing Party. Notwithstanding any contrary understanding with you, the Seller or
any other person or entity, or any instructions to you from the Seller, the Seller or any other
person or entity, you shall abide by the terms of this letter. No deviation in performance of the
terms of any previous letter agreement between you and any of the undersigned shall alter any of
your duties or responsibilities as set forth herein.
Because time is of the essence, please promptly sign and date the enclosed copy of this
letter agreement and return it via overnight delivery service to the Custodian at the above
address and via telecopier, send a copy of this executed letter agreement to the Seller. It is
important that the Custodian receive a copy of this letter agreement executed by you. Thank you
for your cooperation in assisting us with this project.
NOTE: BY ACCEPTING THE MORTGAGE ASSETS DELIVERED TO YOU WITH THIS LETTER, YOU CONSENT TO BE THE
CUSTODIAN, AGENT AND BAILEE FOR THE FINANCING PARTY ON THE TERMS DESCRIBED IN THIS LETTER. THE
CUSTODIAN REQUESTS THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE ENCLOSED PURCHASED ASSETS AND THIS LETTER
BY SIGNING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED COPY OF THIS LETTER TO THE CUSTODIAN; HOWEVER, YOUR FAILURE
TO DO SO DOES NOT NULLIFY SUCH CONSENT.
