In lieu of the foregoing, Seller may substitute an Agency Security for the Participation Certificate and thereafter cause the sale thereof under the Take-out Commitment on or prior to the Repurchase Date and shall cause the Take-out Investor to transfer the Repurchase Price directly to an account of Buyer.

(iii) Surrender. Upon sale or other disposition as contemplated herein, Buyer (or a subsequent registered holder of a Participation Certificate) shall surrender the Participation Certificate (to the extent in its possession) to Custodian upon the earliest to occur of (i) the sale or transfer of such Participation Certificate and (ii) the assignment and delivery to Buyer of the entire Pooled Loan Ownership Interest.

Section 4. Margin Amount Maintenance.

(a) Buyer shall determine the Asset Value of the Transaction Mortgage Loans at such intervals as determined by Buyer in its sole good faith discretion.

(b) If at any time the aggregate Asset Value of all related Transaction Mortgage Loans subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Purchase Price for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee cash so that the aggregate Asset Value of the Transaction Mortgage Loans, including any such cash, will thereupon equal or exceed the aggregate Purchase Price for all Transactions (such transfer, a “Margin Deficit Payment”); provided that Buyer shall only make a Margin Call if a Margin Deficit in excess $100,000 exists. If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer cash to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) that day. In the event Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the subsequent Business Day.

(c) Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(d) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(b) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

Section 5. Income Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accreted value of the Price Differential as applicable

(less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) (each such payment, a “Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment”) on each Payment Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Seller fails to make all or part of the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Payment Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Periodic Advance Repurchase Payment is received in full by Buyer.

(b) Each Participation Certificate shall provide for monthly remittance by Seller to the registered holder thereof of Pooled Loan payments of principal (including principal prepayments) and interest. The first Remittance Date for Seller’s remittance of Mortgage Loan payments to the holder of a Participation Certificate (“Initial Remittance Date”) shall occur (if at all) on the 25th day of the month following the month in which the Settlement Date is scheduled to occur. The remittance on the Initial Remittance Date, or on such earlier date if a Securities Issuance Failure has occurred, shall include all Pooled Loan payments received by Seller.

(c) To the extent that Buyer receives any funds with respect to the purchase of a Transaction Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall promptly apply such funds to the Release Price for such Transaction Mortgage Loan.

Section 6. Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder;

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that Seller shall only be obligated to pay such amounts incurred by Buyer from and after the date which is thirty (30) days prior to notice to Seller thereof.

(b) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of

incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction; provided, however, that Seller shall only be obligated to pay such amounts incurred by Buyer from and after the date which is thirty (30) days prior to notice to Seller thereof.

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

(d) To the extent that Buyer demands compensation for such amounts under paragraphs (a) and (b) above, Seller shall have the right to designate a termination date for this Repurchase Agreement by written notice given to Buyer at least thirty (30) days before such termination date has occurred and Seller shall only be obligated to pay Buyer the amounts under paragraph (c) above to the extent such amounts are necessary to compensate Buyer through such Termination Date.

Section 7. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 7) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or

performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted by any Governmental Agency. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this Section 7, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E completed in which Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed

U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this section if such beneficial owner were Buyer, provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Seller, provided, however, that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Buyer.

If Buyer provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) and the form provided by Buyer at the time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form.

If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f) For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 7 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer, or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(h) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat the Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets as owned by Seller for federal income tax purposes in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Security Interest.

(i) On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all rights and interests in the Purchased Assets, Participation Certificates, Agency Securities and under each Take-out Commitment, including without limitation its right and entitlement to receive the entire Take-out Price specified in each Take-out Commitment from a Take-out Investor. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets, the Records, all Servicing Rights

related to the Purchased Assets and Transaction Mortgage Loans, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, and rights to reimbursement thereof related to the Purchased Assets, all Agency Securities related to Pooled Loans that are Purchased Assets or right to receive such Agency Security when issued to the extent backed by any of the Transaction Mortgage Loans, all rights to payment of mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise), including FHA, VA and USDA claims, and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Purchased Assets and all claims and payments thereunder and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing, any Income relating to any Purchased Asset, the Securities Account, the Payment Account and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts), instruments, payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Assets and any other assets relating to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Assets, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests as are represented by a Participation Certificate with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).

(ii) Seller acknowledges that in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created. This paragraph is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and transactions hereunder as defined under Section 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(iii) Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion if

an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, to do the following:

(i) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any other Repurchase Assets and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Repurchase Assets whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Repurchase Assets;

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit H hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof.

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 15 hereof, any

endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets.

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Repurchase Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9. Payment, Transfer and Custody.

(a) Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer: JPMorgan Chase Bank, Account Number ***-******, for the credit account: JPMorgan Chase Bank NY; ref: Gestation, ABA# ***-***-*** Attn: Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxx, not later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time (the “Payment Account”), on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

(b) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to the following account of Seller: Account #: *********, ABA #: *********, Bank name: City National Bank, Bank Address: 000 X Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Account Name: PLS Loan Funding account (or, if a warehouse lender is identified to Buyer pursuant to Section 3(b)(xvii) hereof, pursuant to such warehouse lender’s written instructions) or in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, as applicable, simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction. With respect to the Purchased Assets being sold by Seller on a Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Purchased Assets together with all right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any related Repurchase Assets.

(c) In connection with such sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment, on or prior to each Purchase Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to Buyer or its designee the Mortgage Loan File for the related Purchased Assets. On each Settlement Date, Buyer shall transfer to Seller such funds received by Buyer from a Take-out Investor in connection with Transaction Mortgage Loans and the related Agency Security that are in excess of the Repurchase Price.

Section 10. Hypothecation or Pledge of Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets.

Title to all Purchased Assets and all other Repurchase Assets purchased hereunder shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase

transactions with the Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets; provided, however, that Buyer shall have an obligation to transfer the Purchased Assets and related Repurchase Assets to Seller upon payment in full of the full Repurchase Price. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets or Repurchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller.

Section 11. Reserved.

Section 12. Representations.Seller and Guarantor, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to Buyer that as of each Purchase Date and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Facility Documents and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect:

(a) Acting as Principal. Seller will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal).

(b) Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and all other information or data furnished by, or on behalf of, Seller to Buyer is complete, true and correct in all material respects, and Seller acknowledges that Buyer has not verified the accuracy of such information or data.

(c) Solvency. Neither the Facility Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. The transfer of the Participation Certificates and Transaction Mortgage Loans is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud Seller’s creditors. Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) and the transfer and sale of the Participation Certificates and Transaction Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto (i) will not cause Seller to become insolvent, (ii) will not result in any property remaining with Seller to be unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as same mature. Seller has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets subject hereto.

(d) No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets or pledge of the Repurchase Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Ability to Perform. Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in the Facility Documents to which it is a party on its part to be performed.

(f) Existence. (a) Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, (b) Seller has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted; and (c) is

(g) Financial Statements. Guarantor and Seller have heretofore each furnished to Buyer a copy of their (a) consolidated balance sheets and statements of income of their consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of retained earnings and cash flows for each of Seller and Guarantor and their respective consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth for the consolidated Financial Statements only, in each case in comparative form, the figures for the previous year, with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP, and (b) consolidated balance sheets and statements of income of their consolidated Subsidiaries for such monthly periods of each of Seller and Guarantor up until July 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of retained earnings and of cash flows for each of Seller and Guarantor and their respective consolidated Subsidiaries for such monthly periods. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of each of Seller and Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations as at such dates and for such monthly periods, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2015, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of Seller, Guarantor and their respective consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Seller or Guarantor aware of any state of facts which (without notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse change or could have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Seller nor Guarantor has, on December 31, 2015 any liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of either Seller or Guarantor except as heretofore disclosed to Buyer in writing.

(h) No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Facility Documents nor (b) the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated to be entered into by Seller or Guarantor in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of the organizational documents of Seller or Guarantor, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or other material agreement or instrument to which Seller, Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their Property is bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default under any such material agreement or instrument or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Facility Documents) upon any Property of Seller, Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

(i) Action. Each of Seller and Guarantor has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Facility Documents, as applicable; the execution, delivery and performance by Seller and Guarantor of each of the Facility Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on its part; and each Facility Document has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and Guarantor, as applicable, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding

obligation of Seller and Guarantor enforceable against Seller and Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

(j) Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or any securities exchange are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by Seller and Guarantor of the Facility Documents or for the legality, validity or enforceability thereof, except for filings and recordings that have been obtained or in respect of the Liens created pursuant to the Facility Documents.

(k) Enforceability.

(D) Buyer may at its option cause the Participation Certificate to be canceled in exchange for assignment and delivery to Buyer by the Custodian of the entire Pooled Loan Ownership Interest, provided that, the rights and remedies conferred under such Participation Certificate and this Agreement shall continue to be effective in determining the rights of Buyer (or other holder of the Participation Certificate) to receive the benefit of any required payments derived from the Pooled Loan.

(iii) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Transaction Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets and all documents relating to the Transaction Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in Facility Documents.

(iv) At any time on the Business Day following notice to Seller (which notice may be the notice given under subsection (a)(i) of this Section), in the event Seller has not repurchased all Transaction Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all Transaction Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets subject to such Transactions hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Transaction Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets, to give Seller credit for such Transaction Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Transaction Mortgage Loans or Repurchase Assets, as applicable, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder.

(vi) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

In view of the nature of the Repurchase Assets, Seller agrees that liquidation of any Repurchase Asset in connection therewith may be conducted in a private sale. Seller acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Buyer than if such sale were a public sale, and notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Seller further agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of any Repurchase Asset by using internet sites that provide for the auction or sale of assets similar to the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.

(c) Seller further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Buyer, that Buyer has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against Seller, and Seller hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for defense that no Event of Default has occurred hereunder.

(d) Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller.

(e) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the

usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller to Buyer under this paragraph 15(f) shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

(g) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

(h) Seller agrees that, following an Event of Default, it shall cooperate with the Buyer to name the Buyer or its designee as the mortgagee of record on FHA Connection and VA and USDA electronic registration systems.

(v) Servicer is subject to FHA, HUD, VA or USDA fees or penalties which have not been paid or is subject to a set-off by any of FHA, HUD, VA or USDA, in either case, which is not paid within the required timeframe of the applicable Governmental Authority.

Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

(b) Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer which amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price paid for the first Transaction hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that neither Seller nor Guarantor may disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer. The provisions set forth in this Section 33 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and Guarantor shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Seller and Guarantor understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “GLB Act”), and Seller and Guarantor agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Seller and Guarantor shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the GLB Act) of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which Buyer holds (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Seller and Guarantor shall, at a minimum establish and maintain such data security program as is necessary to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 12 C.F.R. Parts 30, 208, 211, 225, 263, 308, 364, 568 and 570.

Seller and Guarantor shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to Seller and Guarantor by Buyer or such Affiliate. Seller and Guarantor shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

Section 34. Intent.

(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).

(b) Buyer’s right to liquidate the Transaction Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 15 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this

Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(d) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(e) Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

Section 35. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections.

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

Section 36. Xxxxxxxxx.Xx the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, any other Facility Document, the documents shall control in the following order of priority: first, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and then the terms of the Facility Documents shall prevail.

Section 37. Authorizations.

Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 2 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller, Guarantor or Buyer, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

Section 38. Reserved.

For purposes of this Schedule 1-A and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Transaction Mortgage Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Transaction Mortgage Loan. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

(a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the close of business on the closing date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note; and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of Seller, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan;

(c) Ownership. Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Buyer, Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, Buyer or Buyer’s designee, in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan (and with respect to any Co-op Loan, the sole owner of the related Assignment of Proprietary Lease) pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

Schedule 1-A- 1

(d) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration; and with respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments (including assessments payable in the future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and Seller has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor;

(e) Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which satisfied the standards of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac and was made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the requirements of Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;

(f) Predatory Lending Regulations; High Cost Loans. No Mortgage Loan (a) is subject to Section 226.32 of Regulation Z or any similar state law (relating to high interest rate credit/lending transactions), or (b) is a High Cost Mortgage Loan;

(g) Qualified Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, on and after January 10, 2014 (or such later date as set forth in the relevant regulations), (i) prior to the origination of each Mortgage Loan, the originator made a reasonable and good faith determination that the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms, in accordance with, at a minimum, the eight underwriting factors set forth in 12 CFR 1026.43(c) and (ii) each Mortgage Loan is a “Qualified Mortgage” as defined in 12 CFR 1026.43(e).

Should Seller or Servicer, as applicable, (or any subservicer), for any reason, cease to possess all such Agency Approvals, or should notification to the relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA or VA be required, Seller shall so notify Buyer immediately in writing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller or Servicer, as applicable, shall take all

Schedule 1-A- 2

necessary action to maintain all of its (and each subservicer’s) Agency Approvals at all times during the term of this Agreement and each outstanding Transaction.
