Ladies and Gentlemen:

TH TRS Corp. (the “Seller”) agrees, pursuant to this Forward AAA Securities Agreement (this “Agreement”), to sell or cause to be sold to Barclays Bank PLC (the “Initial Purchaser”) senior mortgage-backed securities (the “Senior Securities”), under the terms and conditions herein contained, issued pursuant to a proposed securitization transaction involving certain residential mortgage loans expected to be acquired in connection with the Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2011, and the Master Repurchase Agreement Pricing Side Letter, dated as of May 17, 2011 (together, the “Master Repurchase Agreement”), both by and between the Seller and the Initial Purchaser. Capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed in ExhibitA. Other capitalized terms used, and not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Master Repurchase Agreement.

In connection with this Agreement and the Master Repurchase Agreement, the Initial Purchaser will assist the Seller in sourcing certain jumbo prime residential mortgage loans and developing relationships with mortgage loan originators. In order to finance the acquisition of the mortgage loans from originators, the Seller expects to sell mortgage loans to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to a full recourse reverse repurchase facility provided through the Master Repurchase Agreement, although the Seller is not required to use the Master Repurchase Agreement to fund any or all mortgage loans subject to this Agreement. Each mortgage loan funded under the Master Repurchase Agreement may be eligible to back the Senior Securities, which would be issued by a securitization trust (the “Issuer”). Once mortgage loans are acquired by the Seller, either using the funds provided by the repurchase facility and conveyed to the Initial Purchaser under the repurchase facility, or otherwise acquired by the Seller, in an aggregate amount of approximately $200,000,000 in unpaid principal balance, the Seller expects to securitize such mortgage loans (subject to the limitations herein) in a transaction (the “Securitization”) in which the Issuer will be expected to issue one or more classes of Senior Securities that would be entitled to payments on a senior, priority basis, and one or more classes of subordinate securities that would be entitled to payments on a subordinated basis, with realized losses being allocated sequentially, first to the subordinate securities and then to the Senior Securities. The Initial Purchaser will act as an underwriter or placement agent of the

Securitization. The Seller would act as sponsor of the Securitization and is expected to be subject to and comply with any risk retention requirements required of a “securitizer” under Section 941 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Xxxx-Xxxxx Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and will comply with any other applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, revised Regulation AB and the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act.

In the event of a securitization pursuant to which Senior Securities are issued, the Initial Purchaser, upon the basis of the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in this Agreement and the Master Repurchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall purchase the Senior Securities on the related closing date in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the alternative, if the parties agree, the Senior Bonds will be registered under the Securities Act. In that event, the provisions of this Agreement that are designed to exempt the related securities or transaction from registration under the Securities Act will be replaced by standard underwriting agreement provisions designed for public securities offerings.

The Initial Purchaser and the Seller understand and agree that the Senior Bonds may only be resold or otherwise transferred if such Senior Bonds are hereafter registered under the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for such sale, including the exemption afforded by Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) and Regulation S (“Regulation S”) of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

Section 1. Purchase of the Senior Securities; Eligibility. Upon notification from the Seller that it has committed to purchase Forward Eligible Assets from an Originator, the Initial Purchaser may issue confirmations to purchase Senior Securities collateralized by Forward Eligible Assets (each such confirmation, a “Confirmation”). A Confirmation will serve as a commitment by the Initial Purchaser to purchase Eligible AAA Securities collateralized by the related Forward Eligible Assets, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the related Confirmation. In reliance on the representations and warranties contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and as long as the Senior Securities are Eligible AAA Securities, the Initial Purchaser shall purchase Eligible AAA Securities at the AAA Securities Purchase Price. It is expected that the securitization depositor shall transfer to the Seller and the Seller shall retain any AAA IO Securities as well as any subordinate bonds created to structure the Senior Securities as set forth herein.

Section 1A. Failure to Deliver Eligible AAA Securities. To the extent that the Seller fails to deliver Eligible AAA Securities on or before May 11, 2012, or such later date agreed to in writing by the Seller and Initial Purchaser, either because

(i) the Seller with Initial Purchaser’s cooperation has not, as of such date, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, closed a Securitization whereby the Senior Securities (a) were issued in an original principal balance equal to 88% or more of the outstanding principal balance of the Included Mortgage Loans as of the Securitization closing date, and (b) were assigned a credit rating in the highest category (e.g., “AAA”) by at least one Rating Agency, or

(ii) the Seller has determined in good faith that the closing of a Securitization is not commercially practical, despite commercially reasonable efforts prior to such date,

then the Seller and Initial Purchaser hereby agree as follows:

a. The Seller may, at its option, offer to sell to the Initial Purchaser all or a portion of the Forward Assets, and the Initial Purchaser hereby agrees to buy, if offered, such Forward Assets at a price equal to the product of the applicable Purchase Price Percentage times the related outstanding principal balance thereof, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

b. Upon request of the Seller, the Initial Purchaser will broker a sale of all or a portion of the Forward Assets, as requested by the Seller, to one or more third parties and will earn a fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance of any such Forward Assets sold, upon completion of a successful sale. Depending upon the aggregate sale price of the related Forward Assets sold, the Initial Purchaser, in its discretion, may decide to perform a Pairoff, whereby amounts received by the Initial Purchaser and due to the Seller in connection with such sale, may be offset against amounts due to the Initial Purchaser under the Master Repurchase Agreement. The calculations and determinations shall be made in good faith, in a commercially reasonable manner.

c. The Seller will have the option to proceed with the Securitization based upon actual Rating Agency sizing.

Any Forward Asset that is a Forward Ineligible Asset will not be included in the Securitization nor subject to the provisions of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 10.

The Initial Purchaser will reoffer and resell the Senior Securities to one or more third party investors in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Initial Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reject in whole or in part any order by one or more third party investors to purchase the Senior Securities or to allot to any investor less than the amount of Senior Securities offered to be purchased by such investor.

In connection with any Securitization, the Initial Purchaser and the Seller will assist in the preparation of a private placement memorandum and a memorandum supplement to the private placement memorandum (collectively, together with all appendices and attachments thereto, “Private Placement Memorandum.”

The Initial Purchaser shall approve the Offering Documents (as defined in Section 4(h)), in its sole and absolute discretion, promptly as such documents are prepared and are in form and substance satisfactory to it. The Initial Purchaser shall not distribute any Offering Document unless such Offering Document shall have been specifically approved by the Seller; provided, that the Seller hereby approves of the distribution of the Private Placement Memorandum by the Initial Purchaser to persons in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Initial Purchaser shall not distribute or disseminate any offering materials to prospective investors other than the Offering Documents. At the request of any investor, the Initial Purchaser shall deliver to such investor a copy of any Offering Documents requested by such investor. The Initial Purchaser shall keep and retain such records as may be necessary to identify any potential investor to whom the Initial Purchaser circulated any Offering Document.

This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any mortgage loan on the earlier of (i) the day on which an Event of Default (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement) occurs, (ii) the day on which such mortgage loan is no longer a Forward Eligible Asset, subject to the obligation of the Initial Purchaser or Hedge Provider to purchase certain Forward Ineligible Assets pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, and (iii) 364 days from the Funding Date with respect to such mortgage loan, unless Seller requests in writing an extension of such date on or before 270 days after such Funding Date and the Initial Purchaser approves such requested extension in writing, in its sole discretion. A failure to accept such a request within 10 days of receipt of the request shall be deemed to be a rejection. The Funding Date is, for any Purchased Asset, the date on which such Purchased Asset is purchased by Seller

Section 2. Securitization; Fees. The Initial Purchaser and the Seller agree that:

(a) At the point when a pool of Forward Assets reaches approximately $200,000,000 or such other amount mutually agreed to by the parties, in unpaid principal balance, the Seller, as sponsor, will apply commercially reasonable efforts to securitize the Forward Assets in a Securitization;

(b) In any Securitization, the Seller, as Securitization sponsor, shall retain risk required of a “securitizer” under Section 941 of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Risk Retention”). Seller shall comply with, and to the extent that the Securitization depositor is an affiliate of Initial Purchaser, shall cooperate with Initial Purchaser with respect to the Securitization depositor’s compliance with, any other applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, revised Regulation AB and the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act;

(c) The purchase price for the Senior Securities purchased by the Initial Purchaser shall be the amount determined under Section 1 and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller on the closing date of the Securitization (the “Closing Date”);

(d) By 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall make available, for inspection by the Initial Purchaser, the global notes that are to represent the Senior Securities, which shall be in certificated, global form, and registered in the name of Cede & Co.; and

(e) Immediately following disbursal of funds to a borrower under a mortgage loan and receipt by the Seller of a Confirmation for the purchase of Senior Securities related to one or more Forward Eligible Assets, the Forward AAA Securities Commitment Fee will accrue with respect to such Forward Eligible Assets. The Forward AAA Securities Commitment Fee shall be paid monthly by the Seller to the Initial Purchaser, until the earliest of Securitization of such Forward Eligible Asset, the termination of this Agreement or the failure of the Seller to deliver Eligible AAA Securities pursuant to Section 1A.

(k) It has not taken, or permitted or caused any of its affiliates to take, nor will it at any time take, or permit or cause any of its Affiliates to take, any action whatsoever which would have the effect of requiring the registration, under the Securities Act, of the offering or sale of the Senior Securities contemplated by this Agreement including an offer to investors within six months after the Closing Date securities of a same or similar class (in the reasonable opinion of the Seller, or if asserted as a claim in a court of law of competent jurisdiction or as determined by the Commission) as the Senior Securities, the Seller or any such Affiliate (directly or through any trust) shall not commence any such offering unless Initial Purchaser has received an opinion from counsel to the Seller that such offering would not be integrated with the offering of the Senior Securities under the federal securities laws in a manner which would render unavailable the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act relied upon in making this offering of the Senior Securities;

(l) So long as any of the Senior Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, Barclays will cause the Seller to provide to each holder of such restricted securities and to each prospective purchaser (as designated by such holder) of such restricted securities, upon the request of such holder or prospective purchaser, any information required to be provided by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(o) So long as any of the Senior Securities are outstanding, the Seller will cause the Securitization Documents to provide for the Issuer to furnish to the Initial Purchaser as soon as practicable, copies of all documents required to be distributed to the holders of the Senior Securities;

(p) From and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the computer records of the Seller to be marked to show the Issuer’s absolute ownership of the Included Mortgage Loans (subject only to the lien of the Securitization trustee under the Securitization Documents, for the benefit of the security holders of the Securitization), and from and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall not take, and the Securitization Documents shall not permit the depositor under the Securitization Documents to take, any action inconsistent with the Issuer’s ownership of the Forward Assets and the Securitization trustee’s lien thereon, other than as expressly permitted by the Securitization Documents;

If any of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied or waived on or before the Closing Date, the Initial Purchaser shall (except as otherwise specifically provided herein) be released and discharged from any obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the related Senior Securities and any offers (and acceptances thereof) of the Senior Securities.

Section 7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser, the Initial Purchaser’s partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as applicable, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof, caused by or arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Private Placement Memorandum (not including the Initial Purchaser Information (as defined below)) or caused by or arising out of any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as applicable, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, or actions in respect thereof, caused by or arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in the Offering Documents (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in connection with, in reliance upon or in conformity with written information furnished to the Seller by the Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the Offering Documents (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (collectively, the “Initial Purchaser Information”); provided, however, that the Initial Purchaser will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of an error or omission in any underlying data or information supplied to the Initial Purchaser by the Seller.

(c) In case any proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to the preceding paragraph, such person (hereinafter called the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (hereinafter called the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing; provided, however, that the failure so to notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure and; provided further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party other than under Section 7(a) or 7(b) above. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties, and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser on the other, from the offering and sale of the Senior Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Seller on the one hand, and of the Initial Purchaser on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or

liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Seller on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the related Senior Securities contemplated hereby (before deducting expenses) received by Issuer bear to the total discount received by the Initial Purchaser for such Senior Securities pursuant to this Agreement in connection therewith. The relative fault of the Seller on the one hand, and of the Initial Purchaser on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Seller on the one hand, or by the Initial Purchaser on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Seller and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section 7. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total price at which the Senior Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of damages which the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(f) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, THE RIGHTS OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY TO BE INDEMNIFIED AND HELD HARMLESS, OR TO RECEIVE CONTRIBUTION, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES CONTEMPLATED IN THIS SECTION 7 SHALL NOT BE NEGATED BY THE REASON OF THE FACT THAT SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY MAY HAVE BEEN NEGLIGENT IN ANY RESPECT AND TO ANY DEGREE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OR MAY BE SUBJECT TO STRICT LIABILITY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

(g) The obligations of the Seller under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Seller may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Initial Purchaser under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Initial Purchaser may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Seller within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Section 8. Default of Initial Purchaser.

If the Initial Purchaser defaults in its obligation to purchase Eligible AAA Securities hereunder that are issued in a Securitization or defaults in its obligations under Section 1A, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of the Seller, except as provided in Section 7. As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” includes any person substituted for the Initial Purchaser under this Section 8. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability for its default.

Section 9. Variation Margin.

The market value of this Agreement may be determined at any time by Barclays Bank PLC, as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”), in its sole reasonable discretion. The amount by which the market value of this Agreement increases or decreases from the market value of this Agreement as of the date hereof, is referred to as the “Variation Margin”. If on any date, the Calculation Agent determines that amounts would otherwise be payable in respect of Margin Excess or Margin Deficit (each as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement) by a party, on the one hand, and that offsetting amounts are payable by the other party in respect of an increase or decrease in Variation Margin, respectively, on the other hand, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount may be netted. The Calculation Agent’s calculations and determinations shall be made in good faith and will be provided to the Seller upon request.

Section 10. Forward Ineligible Assets.

If on any date of determination, the principal balance of Forward Ineligible Assets exceeds the Forward Ineligible Cap as of such date, then the Initial Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase or cause the Hedge Provider to purchase, and the Initial Purchaser or Hedge Provider shall purchase, at a price equal to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, the excess Forward Ineligible Assets for its own or the Hedge Provider’s own account, following which, such assets will no longer be subject to this Agreement. Any Forward Ineligible Assets purchased hereunder shall be purchased in chronological order (based on when it became a Forward Ineligible Asset), with the Forward Assets which became Forward Ineligible Assets first, being purchased first, and so forth.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement shall become effective as of the date set forth above and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall continue in effect for each Forward Eligible Asset as to which a Confirmation is issued by the Initial Purchaser and any related Senior Securities until the Closing Date for any related Senior Securities, or such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Initial Purchaser and the Seller.

(b) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 7, the provisions of this Section 11, all of the representations and warranties of the parties contained herein, and the covenants and agreements of the parties set forth at Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(f), 3(m), 3(n), 3(o), 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), 4(d), 4(e),4(g), 4(j), 4(k), 4(l), 4(n), 4(o), and 4(r) of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser or the Seller or any person controlling the Initial Purchaser or the Seller and (iii) payment for and delivery of the Senior Securities.

(c) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Master Repurchase Agreement and the Securitization Documents are consummated or this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Seller and the Initial Purchaser each agrees to pay the amounts for which it is respectively obligated in this Agreement.

(d) All communications hereunder, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing and, if to the Initial Purchaser, shall be mailed, delivered or telecopied and confirmed to the Initial Purchaser at the following addresses:

The exercise of any such right of set-off shall be without prejudice to Initial Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Initial Purchaser agrees to promptly notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Initial Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
