On each Closing Date, Bank hereby agrees to sell, assign, set-over, transfer, and otherwise convey to Purchaser, or a third party designated by Purchaser subject to execution by such designated third party and Bank of a loan purchase and sale agreement, without recourse but subject to the representations, warranties, terms and provisions of this Agreement and with all servicing released, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, or cause a designated third Party acceptable to Bank to purchase, as the case may be, on each Closing Date, all of Bank’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchaser Loans funded by Bank on the applicable Funding Date. At least three (3) Business Days prior to each Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Bank with a statement (each such statement, a “Funding Statement”), which shall contain, as applicable, (i) the names of the Borrowers for each of the Purchaser Loans Purchaser or Purchaser’s designated third party intends to purchase; (ii) the Purchase Price for each Purchaser Loan, and (iii) such other information as shall be reasonably requested by Bank. Bank shall review and confirm to Purchaser the sale terms set forth in each Funding Statement no later than one (1) Business Day following Bank’s receipt of a Funding Statement from Purchaser. On each Closing Date, Bank shall provide an acknowledgement of the sale of the Purchaser Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly notify Bank of any event that would materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to purchase the Purchaser Loans.

(b) Payment to Bank.

i) In consideration of Bank’s agreement to sell, transfer, assign, set-over, transfer and convey to Purchaser the Purchaser Loans, Purchaser shall purchase the Purchaser Loans by depositing the Purchase Price into the Funding Account by 3:00 pm Eastern Time on each Closing Date.

ii) For each Loan, Purchaser shall pay the applicable Loan Premium Fee on the applicable Closing Date (or as otherwise reflected in the Funding Statement with respect to Retained Loans).

iii) The projected amount of the Trailing Fee for each Purchaser Loan shall be set forth in the applicable Funding Statement divided into monthly installments to be paid to Bank by Purchaser, provided the Borrower under such Purchaser Loan has remitted the applicable monthly payment, including in the event that that Borrower remits such payment(s) after such Purchaser Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan and is later reinstated, provided further that in the event any Purchaser Loan is modified in the form of a principal reduction or term extension then the Trailing Fee shall be modified on a pro rata basis.

For the avoidance of doubt, (A) Interim Interest accrued on any Purchaser Loan between the Funding Date and the related Closing Date shall inure to the benefit of Bank, and (B) in the event of any Purchaser Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan or otherwise becomes uncollectible, Purchaser shall be relieved of any obligation to continue to pay the remaining amount of any applicable Trailing Fee.

(c) Retained Loans. Bank shall maintain ownership of the Retained Loans, provided that Bank’s obligations regarding Retained Loans are subject to the limitations specified in Section 2(c)(i) and (iii) below:

i) the maximum Outstanding Principal Balance of Retained Loans that the Bank will retain (A) in any calendar month, which shall equal the Maximum Monthly Retention Amount, and (B) in the aggregate for all Retained Loans at any given time during the Term of the Agreement, which shall equal Maximum Outstanding Retention Amount, which limits may be increased by the Bank upon notice to Purchaser but which shall not be decreased by the Bank except with the express written agreement of Purchaser and only upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice.

ii) Each month during the Term, the parties will jointly verify the manner in which the Retained Loans were allocated;

iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Bank shall have no obligation to retain any Loan (A) if retention of such Loan would cause Bank to exceed the Retained Loan Limits or (B) during the Retention Cessation Period.

(d) Purchaser shall be responsible for engaging an e-vaulting agent acceptable to Bank to maintain electronically all Loan Documents related to the Retained Loans

(e) Delivery of Loan Files. To the extent Loan Documents or files are in Bank’s possession or under Bank’s control, upon Purchaser’s request on each Closing Date, Bank agrees to cause to be delivered or released to Purchaser, Loan Documents on all Purchaser Loans and Retained Loans within five (5) Business Days of the related Closing Date; provided that Bank may retain copies of such information as necessary to comply with the Applicable Laws.

(f) True-Up. If, subsequent to any Closing Date, the amount on any Funding Statement on which the Purchase Price with respect to a Purchaser Loan was based is found to be in error, within ten (10) Business days of receipt of information from the discovering party sufficient to establish the error, the party benefiting from the error shall pay the other party an amount sufficient to correct and reconcile the Purchase Price and related Loan Premium Fees and Trailing Fees.

3. Ownership; Servicing; True Sale; Securitization.

(a) Ownership. Subject to the Purchaser’s payment for a Purchaser Loan pursuant to Section 2(b), Purchaser shall be the sole owner for all purposes (e.g., tax, accounting and legal) of each such Purchaser Loan purchased from Bank on the related Closing Date. Each of Purchaser and Bank agrees to make entries on its books and records to clearly indicate the sale of each Purchaser Loan sold to Purchaser hereunder. Subject to the representations and warranties for each Purchaser Loans sold hereunder, it is expressly agreed and understood that Bank will not assume and shall not have any liability to Purchaser for the repayment of any portion or all of any debt service by the Borrower, or for the servicing of any Purchaser Loan sold to Purchaser hereunder after the related Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser may sell, transfer, or assign any Purchaser Loan to any Person following the purchase thereof from Bank.

Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Bank acknowledges and agrees that Bank shall not sell, distribute or otherwise use Customer Information except as contemplated under the Program, including for the purposes of soliciting Borrowers directly or indirectly for any products or services not offered under the Program, regardless of Bank’s past or present ownership of such Customer Information.

(b) Servicing of Loans. As of each applicable Closing Date, Purchaser or its designee(s) shall be responsible for the management, servicing, administration and collection related to the Purchaser Loans. Purchaser agrees to be responsible for the management, servicing, administration and collection related to the Retained Loans, which shall be memorialized in a separate, mutually acceptable servicing agreement between the parties (“Servicing Agreement”). As of each applicable Closing Date, Purchaser or its designee(s) shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things relating to such servicing which Purchaser may deem necessary or desirable in accordance with Applicable Law with respect to Purchaser Loans. If (i) Purchaser, in its capacity as servicer of any Retained Loan, breaches its obligations to comply with Applicable Laws in any material respect under the Servicing Agreement entered into between the parties, and such breach cannot be cured in all material respects within sixty (60) days after Bank provides written notice to Purchaser of such breach, or (ii) any Retained Loan that has not been properly allocated to Bank in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) Bank has repurchased any Purchaser Loan from a third party purchaser designated by Purchaser where the underlying cause for such repurchase is an uncured material breach of Purchaser’s obligations under agreements between Purchaser and Bank, then at Bank’s option Purchaser shall purchase or cause to be purchased from Bank such Purchaser Loan or Retained Loan, as applicable, within five (5) Business Days at a price equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Retained Loan. Contemporaneous with any such purchase by Purchaser of a Retained Loan pursuant to this Section 3(b), Bank will transfer all applicable Loan Documents in Bank’s possession to Purchaser.

(c) True Sale. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Purchaser Loans by Bank to Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale of Purchaser Loans by Bank to Purchaser. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be, or be deemed, a pledge of the Purchaser Loans by Bank to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Purchaser. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Purchaser Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of Bank then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, (ii) the transfer of Purchaser Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by Bank to Purchaser of a security interest in all of Bank’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchaser Loans and all amounts payable on such Purchaser Loans (other than the applicable Trailing Fees) in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of such Purchaser Loans into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Purchaser Loans and proceeds pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) the possession by Purchaser, any of its assigns or an agent or custodian on behalf of Purchaser or any lender to Purchaser or any of its assigns and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and (iv) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under Applicable Laws. Any assignment of the interest of Purchaser shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. Purchaser and Bank shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Purchaser Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under Applicable Laws.

(d) Reserved.

4. Reserve Account.

(a) Reserve Account. Not later than two (2) days prior to the Funding Date, Purchaser shall maintain one or more Reserve Accounts with Bank and maintain immediately available funds in such Reserve Account in an amount at least equal to the Required Balance. In the event that the

Reserve Account is not maintained with the Bank, then such Reserve Accounts shall be subject to a mutually acceptable deposit account control agreement in favor of Bank. In the event that Bank notifies Purchaser in writing that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Accounts is at any time less than the Required Balance, Purchaser shall promptly deposit into the Reserve Account the amount necessary to attain the Required Balance.

(b) Security Interest. To secure the timely payment of the Purchase Price for each Purchaser Loan sold hereunder and all obligations owing by Purchaser related thereto and the performance and observance of all the obligations and liabilities of Purchaser incurred under this Agreement, Purchaser hereby conveys, warrants, assigns, transfers, pledges and grants a security interest unto Bank in all right, title, interest, claims and demands of Purchaser, wherever located, whether now or hereafter existing, owned or acquired in, to or under the Reserve Account. Purchaser agrees to take such measures as Bank may reasonably require to perfect or protect a first priority security interest in the Reserve Account. Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under Applicable Laws in relation to the Reserve Account and the amounts at any time on deposit therein, and shall be entitled to exercise those rights and remedies in its discretion.

(c) Right to Withdraw. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Bank under this or any other Agreement, Bank shall have the right to withdraw amounts from the Reserve Account, upon delivery of notice to Purchaser regarding such withdrawal, to fulfill any payment obligations of Purchaser under the Program.

(d) Release of Funds. Purchaser may withdraw amounts from the Reserve Account with the prior written consent of Bank. In addition, in the event the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account at any time exceeds the Required Balance by more than ten (10%) percent calculated for a particular Business Day, then, Purchaser, at its option, may provide to Bank a report setting forth the calculation of the Required Balance and the extent to which the funds on deposit in the Reserve Account at such time exceed the Required Balance and, within two (2) Business Days following receipt by Bank of such report from Purchaser, Bank shall, if such excess still exists, transfer such excess from the Reserve Account to an account (by ACH or wire) designated by Purchaser. Bank shall release to Purchaser any funds remaining in the Reserve Account less any amounts owed by Purchaser under the Program within twenty (20) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement.

delegating party and over which the delegating party maintains oversight) or assigned without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create or grant any right, privilege or other benefit to or for any Person or entity other than the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder without Bank’s consent, including in connection with a transfer to special purpose entity 100% owned and controlled by Purchaser, or a securitization transaction or Whole Loan Transfer.

12. Indemnification; Limitations of Liability.

(a) Indemnification by Purchaser. Except to the extent of any Losses (as herein defined) which arise from the direct acts or omissions of Bank or an affiliate of Bank, including Bank’s breach of any representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, or by negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of Bank, Purchaser shall be liable to and shall indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates and permitted assigns from and against any and all Losses arising out of (i) any failure of Purchaser to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser herein. For the avoidance of doubt, Bank hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing undertaking is not and shall not be construed to be a guaranty of payment or performance by any Borrower of all or any amounts owed in relation to any Loan, nor shall be enforced in a manner that would render such undertaking the legal or economic equivalent of a guaranty by Purchaser of such payment or performance by any Borrower.

(b) Indemnification by Bank. Except to the extent of any Losses which arise from the direct acts or omissions of Purchaser or an affiliate of Purchaser, including Purchaser’s breach of any representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, or by negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of Purchaser, Bank shall be liable to and shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates and permitted assigns, from and against any Losses arising out of (i) the failure of Bank to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Bank herein. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing undertaking is not and shall not be construed to be a guaranty of payment or performance by any Borrower of all or any amounts owed in relation to any Loan, nor shall be enforced in a manner that would render such undertaking the legal or economic equivalent of a guaranty by Bank of such payment or performance by any Borrower.

(c) Losses Defined. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Losses” shall mean all out-of-pocket costs, damages, losses, fines, penalties, judgments, settlements and expenses whatsoever, including, without limitation, outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party, in connection with any judicial, administrative, legislative or other proceeding or claim made by a third party.

(d) Notice of Claims. In the event any claim is made, any suit or action is commenced or any actual knowledge of a state of facts that, if not corrected, would give rise to a right of indemnification of a party hereunder (“Indemnified Party”) by the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) is received, the Indemnified Party will give notice to the Indemnifying Party as promptly

as practicable, but, in the case of lawsuit, in no event later than the time necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to file a timely answer to the complaint. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel and accountants at reasonable times and for reasonable periods, during normal business hours, all books and records of the Indemnified Party relating to any such possible claim for indemnification, and each party hereunder will render to the other such assistance as it may reasonably require of the other (at the expenses of the party requesting assistance) in order to insure prompt and adequate defense of any suit, claim or proceeding based upon a state of facts which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder.

(e) Defense and Counsel. Subject to the terms hereof, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any suit, claim, action or proceeding. In the event that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any suit, claim or proceeding, then the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party via facsimile transmission or email, with a copy by mail, within ten (10) days of having been notified pursuant to this Section 12 that the Indemnifying Party elects to employ counsel and assume the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall institute and maintain any such defense diligently and reasonably and shall keep the Indemnified Party fully advised of the status thereof. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel if the Indemnified Party so elects to assume such defense, but the fees and expense of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s expense, unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that the interests of such parties are conflicting such that it would be inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both parties or shall have reasonably concluded that the ability of the parties to prevail in the defense of any claim are improved if separate counsel represents the Indemnified Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), and in either of such events such reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that it is necessary to institute separate litigation, whether in the same or another court, in order to defend the claims asserted against it; (iv) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the ability of the parties to prevail in the defense of any claim is materially improved if separate counsel represents the Indemnified Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to take charge of the defense of such action after electing to assume the defense thereof. In the event that the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of any suit, claim, action or proceeding, then the Indemnified Party shall do so and the Indemnifying Party shall pay for, or reimburse Indemnified Party, as the Indemnified Party shall elect, all Losses of the Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 12(g) below.

(f) Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise and settle any suit, claim or proceeding in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle a suit, claim or proceeding (i) unless it indemnifies the Indemnified Party for all Losses arising out of or relating thereto and (ii) with respect to any suit, claim or proceeding which seeks any non-monetary relief, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to make any admission of guilt on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Any final judgment or decree entered on or in, any claim, suit or action which the Indemnifying Party did not assume the defense of in accordance herewith, shall be deemed to have been consented to by, and shall be binding upon, the Indemnifying Party as fully as if the Indemnifying Party had assumed the defense thereof and a final judgment or decree had been entered in such suit or action, or with regard to such claim, by a court of competent jurisdiction for the amount of such settlement, compromise, judgment or decree. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any claims or rights of the Indemnified Party as against any other Persons with respect to any amount paid by the Indemnifying Party under this Section 12(f).

(g) Indemnification Payments; Disputes. Subject to each party’s compliance with the rights and duties set forth in this Section 12, amounts owing under Section 12 shall be paid promptly upon written demand for indemnification containing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Losses; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of such demand that it disputes its obligation to indemnify (including its obligation to defend), or the Losses being claimed, and the parties are not otherwise able to reach agreement, the controversy shall be settled through arbitration as described in Section 18.

(h) Purchaser Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Bank have any liability to Purchaser under this Agreement (for indemnification or otherwise) to the extent such liability arises from Purchaser’s uncured breach of agreements between the parties related to marketing and origination assistance of Loans.

(i) EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING DUE TO A PARTY’S FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR MISUSE OF ANY CUSTOMER INFORMATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS (EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM.

13. Notices.
