its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been
duly authorized by all requisite limited liability company action on the part of each of ResCap,
Seller and Subsidiary. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by each of ResCap, Seller and Subsidiary. This Agreement, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery by Buyer, constitutes a legally binding obligation of each of ResCap, Seller
and Subsidiary, enforceable against each of ResCap, Seller and Subsidiary in accordance with its
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally. As of the Closing Date with respect to the Limited

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by ResCap, Seller and Subsidiary and by
ResCap, Seller and each of their respective controlled Affiliates of the other Transaction
Documents (to the extent executed and delivered), and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the
organizational documents of the applicable entity, (ii) result in the material breach of, or
constitute a material default under, or result in the termination, cancellation, modification or
acceleration (whether after the filing of notice or the lapse of time or both) of any material
right or obligation of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates, including Seller and Subsidiary,
under, or result in a loss of any material benefit to which such Party is entitled under, any
material Contract (including the MSRAs), or result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of
the Interests or the Subject Assets, or (iii) violate or result in a breach of or constitute a
default under any Law to which ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates, including Seller and

(e) Subject Assets.
(i) Seller has full right to sell, assign and transfer all of its right, title and
interest in the Interests to Buyer, subject to receipt of the Required Seller Consents.
Seller is the owner of the Interests, free and clear of any Encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever (except for any such Encumbrances being released prior to or effective upon the
Closing). At the Closing, Seller shall transfer all right, title and interest in the
Interests to Buyer, free and clear of any Encumbrances of any kind (other than those imposed
by applicable securities Laws), and, except for those Ancillary Transfer Documents executed
and delivered to Buyer by Seller at Closing, no novations or assignments shall be
necessary to vest Buyer at the Closing with such right, title and interest. The Interests
constitute all of the outstanding membership interests (or other form of equity- or
equity-like interests) of Subsidiary. Subsidiary has good and valid title to each Subject
Asset, free and clear of any Encumbrances of any nature whatsoever except for Permitted
Encumbrances and any other Encumbrances being released prior to or effective upon the
Closing. For each Subject Asset, it was the policy of Subsidiary or Subsidiary’s
predecessor in title to obtain a title insurance policy in favor of (A) Subsidiary, or (b) a
predecessor-in-title to Subsidiary, and each predecessor-in-title to Subsidiary has
transferred the Subject Asset to a subsequent predecessor-in-title to Subsidiary or to
Subsidiary using a general warranty deed. The Services to be performed by ResCap or its
controlled Affiliates under the Servicing Agreement, shall, at Closing, constitute all
services necessary to operate the Subject Assets in all material respects as currently
operated. The sole business conducted by Subsidiary is and has been the ownership of the
Subject Assets, the Excluded Assets and the model homes sold by Subsidiary prior to June 30,
2008, and, except for obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practice, pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby or as otherwise set
forth in Section 3.1(e)(i) of the ResCap Disclosure Letters, Subsidiary has not
incurred any Liabilities other than Retained Liabilities, Assumed Liabilities and those
Liabilities satisfied in full prior to the Closing. None of the Assets have been sold,
transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of since the Cut-Off Date, other than the
Excluded Assets. Subsidiary has no employees.
(ii) Except as set forth in Section 3.1(e)(ii) of the ResCap Disclosure
Letters, there are no pending or, to ResCap’s Knowledge, threatened Claims concerning
any Subject Asset that constitutes real property (the “Model Homes”) or the MSRAs or
the obligations or rights of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates or other Persons in
and to the Model Homes or under the MSRAs. Neither ResCap nor any of its controlled
Affiliates has received any written notice from any Governmental Entity that there currently
is any pending condemnation or eminent domain proceeding relating to the Model Homes, or
that any such proceeding is currently contemplated. To ResCap’s Knowledge, except as would
not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in material
liability to Subsidiary or Buyer: (i) each Model Home has been used and occupied only as a
model home and/or as a sales office for the marketing of other homes in the applicable
Community or for storage of items relating to the applicable Community in accordance with
applicable Laws and for no other purpose, (ii) the construction of the Model Homes and all
improvements in the Communities in which the Model Homes are located (or the phase of the
Community in which the Model Home is located if the Community is being developed in phases)
have been completed in compliance with applicable Law to the extent necessary to allow for
use of the Model Homes as single family residences following Retrofit (as defined in the
MSRAs), (iii) except as set forth in Section 3.1(e)(ii) of the ResCap Disclosure
Letters, the applicable builder has complied with all state disclosure requirements and
community covenants in respect of the Subject Assets and (iv) no property underlying any of
the Model Homes contains Hazardous Materials in amounts that would violate applicable Law.
(iii) Each MSRA is in full force and effect and, upon the execution and delivery of the
Limited Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to the Pool 1 MSRA, will be the
valid and binding obligation of Subsidiary to the extent assumed thereby and, to ResCap’s
Knowledge, the other parties thereto are in compliance in all material respects with all
terms and conditions in the MSRAs and, except as set forth in Section 3.1(e)(iii) of the
ResCap Disclosure Letters, there does not exist under the MSRAs any material violation,
breach or event of default, or alleged material violation, breach or event of default, or
event or condition that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material
violation, breach or event of default thereunder on the part of Subsidiary or, to ResCap’s
Knowledge, any other party to the MSRAs. The MSRAs, the Note and the Guaranty constitute
the only Contracts in effect between ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the applicable builder or any of its
Affiliates, on the other hand, concerning the
Subject Assets. As of the Closing, other than the MSRAs, the Note and the Guaranty, there
are no Contracts or indebtedness to which ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates is a
party with respect to which the Subject Assets are bound.
(f) Liabilities. Except for those items included as a reduction to the purchase price
in the calculation of the Proration Amount in accordance with Exhibit D, all liabilities
required to be paid prior to or as of 12:01 a.m. (New York City Time) on the Closing Date by ResCap
or any of its controlled Affiliates, including Subsidiary, in respect of any of the Interests or
Subject Assets (including under the MSRAs, the Note or the Guaranty) have been fully paid by ResCap
or the applicable controlled Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence,
(i) since its formation, Subsidiary has always been and is an entity disregarded from its sole
owner for U.S. Federal tax purposes and no deficiency for any Taxes has been asserted or assessed
with respect to any of the Interests or Subject Assets that has not been satisfied by payment,
settled or withdrawn, (ii) there is no audit, claim or controversy currently asserted or threatened

is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in

thereof) pursuant to this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of ResCap or any
of its controlled Affiliates with respect to which Buyer or Subsidiary has any obligation or
liability.
(h) Non-Foreign Person. Seller’s sole owner for U.S. Federal tax purposes is not a
“foreign person” for purposes of Section 1445 of the Code.

warranties contained in this Section 3.1, neither ResCap or any of its controlled
Affiliates or other Persons makes any express or implied representation or warranty on behalf of
ResCap or Seller or with respect to the Interests or Assets.

liabilities, penalties, fines, interest, costs, damages, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and
expenses (including, without limitation, the cost and expenses of any litigations, actions,
judgments and settlements related thereto, and the reasonable costs and expenses of attorneys and
accountants incurred in the investigation or defense thereof or the enforcement of rights
hereunder) (collectively, “Losses”) related to or arising out of any one or more of the
following:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by ResCap or any of its
controlled Affiliates in this Agreement (without giving effect to any qualifications as to
materiality or similar qualifications contained in such representations or warranties);
(ii) any breach by ResCap or Seller of any covenant to be performed or complied with by
ResCap or Seller under this Agreement; or
(iii) the Retained Liabilities.
(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and defend ResCap, its Affiliates,
managing member, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “ResCap
Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses related to or arising out of any one or
more of the following:
(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement
(without giving effect to any qualifications as to materiality or similar qualifications
contained in such representations or warranties);
(ii) any breach by Buyer of any covenant to be performed or complied with by Buyer
under this Agreement;
(iii) the Assumed Liabilities; or
(iv) the ownership or use of the Subject Assets after the Closing, except to the extent
such Losses constitute Retained Liabilities.
Section 7.3 Notice of Claim; Defense.
(a) If any third party institutes or asserts any claim, demand, investigation, action or
proceeding (each of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) against any Person entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) that may give rise to Losses
for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may be liable for indemnification under this
Article VII (a “Third-Party Claim”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly send
to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying (to the extent such information is reasonable
available) the nature of such claim and, if available, the estimated amount of all related
Liabilities, which estimate shall be subject to change (a “Claim Notice”). The
Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations under this Article
VII to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Parties to
provide a timely and adequate Claim Notice. If a Claim Notice has been given prior to the
expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then the relevant representation and
warranties shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.
(b) The Indemnifying Party will have 20 days (or such lesser number of days as set forth in
the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigation matter) after
receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to assume and
thereafter conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying
Party that it has determined in good faith that (i) there is a reasonable probability that such
claim may materially and adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of money
damages, (ii) a conflict of interest exists in respect of such claim, or (iii) there are specific
defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party and that could be adverse to the Indemnifying Party. If the
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, it shall have conclusively
established its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party
Claim. The Indemnified Parties may participate, at their own expense and through legal counsel of
their choice, in any such Proceeding; provided, that the Indemnified Parties and their
counsel shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in connection with
such Proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall not (i) consent to, or enter into, any compromise or
settlement which commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or does
not provide for a full and complete written release by such third party of the Indemnified Party,
(ii) consent to, or enter into, any compromise or settlement, consent to the entry of any judgment,
or admit any liability or wrongdoing with respect to any Third-Party Claim unless it involves only
the payment of money damages all of which will be borne by the Indemnifying Party in accordance
with its indemnification obligations hereunder and does not impose an injunction or other equitable
relief upon the Indemnified Party or otherwise involve any admission of liability or wrongdoing by
the Indemnified Party, in each case, without the Indemnified Party’s prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party elects not to retain counsel and assume
control of such defense or if both the Indemnifying Party and any Indemnified Party are parties to
or subjects of such Proceeding and conflicts of interests exist between the Indemnifying Party and
such Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Parties shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Proceeding and assume control of the defense in
connection with such Proceeding, and, to the extent the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification hereunder in connection with such Proceeding, the fees, charges and disbursements
of not more than one firm as such counsel per jurisdiction selected by the Indemnified Parties
shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. Under no circumstances will the Indemnifying Party
have any liability in connection with any settlement of any Proceeding that is entered into without
its prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(c) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice, at the reasonable request of the
Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall (i) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim and (ii) grant the Indemnifying Party
and its counsel, experts and representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to
the books, records, personnel (including as witnesses or deponents at trial and during the
discovery process) and properties of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the
Claim Notice, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, at no
cost to the Indemnifying Party (other than for reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Indemnified
Parties).
(d) From and after the Closing, except in the case of fraud, the indemnification obligations
set forth in this Article VII are the exclusive remedy of the
Indemnified Parties (a) for
any inaccuracy in any of the representations or any breach of any of the warranties or covenants
contained herein or (b) otherwise with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and matters arising out of, relating to or resulting from the subject matter of
this Agreement, whether based on statute, contract, tort, property or otherwise, and whether or not
arising from the relevant Party’s sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other
fault.
Section 7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) To the extent that a Party hereto shall have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless
any other Person hereunder, such obligation shall not include lost profits or other consequential,
special, punitive, incidental or indirect damages (and the injured Party shall not recover for such
amounts), except to the extent such amounts are required to be paid to a third party other than an
Indemnified Party or a Person affiliated therewith.
(b) Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, ResCap shall not have any
obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) relating
to or arising out of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by ResCap and
Seller pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii) or (iii) unless and until the aggregate
amount of
all Losses subject to indemnification thereunder shall exceed 0.5% of the Firm Bid Price, as
adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 (the “Deductible”), and once the
Deductible is exceeded, ResCap shall be liable for only those Losses in excess of the Deductible.
(c) Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation, in no event shall the
aggregate liability of ResCap for Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) relating to or
arising out of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by ResCap and Seller
pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii) or (iii) exceed an amount equal to the Firm Bid
Price, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 (the “Cap”).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree that neither
the Deductible nor the Cap shall apply with respect to any Losses pursuant to which any Buyer
Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iii).
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses
incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Person shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any
insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Person (or any of its controlled Affiliates
that are Indemnified Persons) with respect to such Losses and (ii) any other recoveries pursuant to
indemnification rights directly relating to such Loss obtained by the Indemnified Person (or any of
its controlled Affiliates that are Indemnified Persons) from any other third party, less, in the
case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, all Losses related to the
pursuing and receipt of such recoveries and any related recoveries. If any such net proceeds or
recoveries are actually received by an Indemnified Person (or any of its controlled Affiliates that
are Indemnified Persons) with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Person has made a payment
to the Indemnified Person with respect thereto, the Indemnified Person (or such Affiliate) shall
pay to the Indemnifying Person the amount of such net proceeds or recoveries (up to the amount of
the Indemnifying Person’s payment).
(f) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Person in respect of any Losses, the
Indemnifying Person shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Person (and its Affiliates) against any insurance company from which the Indemnified
Person (and its controlled Affiliates that are Indemnified Persons) has insurance in respect of the
Losses to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Person (and its controlled Affiliates that
are Indemnified Persons) and Indemnifying Person shall execute upon request all instruments
reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights. To the extent the
exercise of rights under this Section 7.4(f) directly results in higher insurance premiums
for the Indemnified Person, the incremental cost of such higher premiums shall constitute “Losses.”
(g) If (i) the Indemnifying Party has expressly confirmed in writing its obligation to
indemnify an Indemnified Party for a Third Party Claim (or been deemed to have confirmed its
obligation to indemnify by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim) and (ii) the Indemnified
Party is entitled to indemnification from a third party unaffiliated with such Indemnified Party,
then, promptly at the written request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights in respect of such third party
indemnification; provided, that (x) any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with such efforts shall constitute Losses hereunder and
(y) the Indemnified Party shall not be required to bring any action or pursue any claim under
arbitration or mediation to enforce its rights or otherwise take any action that the Indemnified
Party determines in its reasonable judgment would be detrimental in any material respect to any
ongoing business relationship with such third party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 7.4, ResCap shall not have any right, directly or indirectly, to pursue any
indemnification rights of Buyer or Subsidiary under the MSRAs or otherwise, except to the extent
directed in writing by Buyer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.
(h) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses,
whether by asserting claims against a third party (subject to clause (g) above) or by
otherwise qualifying for a benefit that would reduce or eliminate an indemnified matter;
provided, that no party shall be required to use such efforts if such efforts (i) would
require such party to pay any out-of-pocket amount; provided, however, that if an
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of an opportunity to mitigate any Loss that involves paying
an out-of-pocket amount, then such Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable notification to the
Indemnifying Party of such opportunity and if, after receipt of such notification, the Indemnifying
Party elects to provide an Indemnified Party with immediately available funds with instructions to
use such funds to mitigate any Losses, such Indemnified Party shall use such funds for purposes of
satisfying its obligations under this subsection (h) in accordance with the reasonable
instructions of the Indemnifying Party (it being understood and agreed that funds supplied by an
Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party and used to mitigate Losses shall not represent payment
by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party for reimbursement of indemnified Losses);
provided, further, that failure by the Indemnified Party to provide any such notification shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the
extent, and solely to the extent, the Indemnified Party fails to use commercially reasonable
efforts to notify the Indemnifying Party of an opportunity to mitigate any Loss as contemplated
hereby and the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such
failure, or (ii) otherwise would
be detrimental in any material respect to any ongoing business relationship of the Indemnified
Party with any third party.

waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by ResCap and Buyer, or in the case
of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by
any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof
nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 8.3 No Assignment or Benefit to Third Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their
respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No Party to this Agreement may
assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of
Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than ResCap, Seller,
Buyer and Subsidiary and each of their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted
assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, that, the Buyer
Indemnified Parties (solely with respect to their indemnification rights pursuant to this
Agreement) and the ResCap Indemnified Parties (solely with respect to their indemnification rights
pursuant to this Agreement) shall be third party beneficiaries of such Sections of this Agreement,
entitled to enforce those specified provisions hereof.
Section 8.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits, the ResCap Disclosure Letters hereto and any certificate
or document required to be executed and delivered in connection with the execution of this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), the other Transaction
Documents contain the entire agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written,
with respect to such matters.
Section 8.5 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any Party to any other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is
performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an
Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have
been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.
Section 8.6 Expenses. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all costs and expenses, including fees and
disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring
such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.
Section 8.7 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum; Waiver of Trial
by Jury. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. Any action or proceeding in respect of
any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contained in or
contemplated hereby against any Party hereto shall be brought in the Chancery Court of the State of
Delaware,
any other state court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District
of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this
Agreement or the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement, each Party: (i) irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying
venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the
Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto and (iv)
agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective
if notice is given in accordance with Section 8.1 of this Agreement. Each Party hereto irrevocably
waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 8.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Executed signature pages to
this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile and such facsimiles will be deemed as sufficient as if
actual signature pages had been delivered.
Section 8.9 Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereof are for convenience purposes
only, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 8.10 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or
any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be
substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and
purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such
invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity
or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.
Section 8.11 Commitment Regarding Actions of Controlled Affiliates. With respect to any covenant requiring any controlled Party or controlled Affiliate of a Party
to take an action or omit to take an action, such Party shall cause such controlled Affiliate to
comply with such covenant. Any failure by any Party’s controlled Affiliates to do so shall also
constitute a breach of such covenant by such Party.
Section 8.12 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy
for any breach of this Agreement by such Party and that any such breach would cause the other Party
hereto irreparable harm. Accordingly, each Party hereto also agrees that, in the event of any
breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by such Party, the
other Party hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting a bond
or other security, including in the form of injunctions and orders for specific performance.

ARTICLE IX Agreement to Provide Services.
Section 9.1 Agreement. ResCap hereby agrees to provide, or cause its controlled
Affiliates to provide, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause other third parties to
provide, to Subsidiary and Buyer, the Services (as defined below) with the same degree of care,
skill, and diligence and in substantially the same manner as such services have been obtained by
Subsidiary or any of the Prior Owners with respect to the Subject Assets during the six-month
period ended September 30, 2008 (from ResCap or its controlled Affiliates or by virtue of third
party services made available by ResCap or its controlled Affiliates) (the “Required Servicing
Standard”); provided, however, that ResCap may only use third parties to
provide Services so long as such third parties (or similar third parties) provided such Services
(directly or indirectly) to Subsidiary as of the Closing Date. The term “Prior Owners”
means, collectively, DOA Properties III (Models), LLC and GMAC Model Home Finance, LLC.
Section 9.2 Services. As used in this Agreement, the term “Services” means
all services obtained by Subsidiary or a Prior Owner with respect to the Subject Assets during the
six-month period ended September 30, 2008 (from ResCap or its controlled Affiliates or by virtue of
third party services made available by ResCap or its
controlled Affiliates) that are necessary or advisable, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer,
to own, operate and maintain the Subject Assets as owned, operated and maintained by Subsidiary or
a Prior Owner during the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, including, without limitation,
the services described in the schedules attached hereto (the “Schedules”).
Section 9.3 Change in Services. Any material change in the manner in which the
Services are provided (a “Material Change in Service”), including any change in the
employees or third parties providing such Services, shall require Buyer’s prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. To the fullest extent
practicable, Buyer shall receive a written request for consent from ResCap at least five business
days prior to any proposed Material Change in Service, together with reasonable documentation
describing the material terms of such proposed Material Change in Service. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that certain Material Changes in Service may be outside of ResCap’s
control (“Involuntary Changes”), including the resignation of any employee or the
termination by any third party service provider of its provision of services to ResCap, and that
any Involuntary Change shall not require Buyer’s prior written consent; provided, that (i) ResCap
shall confer with Buyer in determining the appropriate course of conduct in addressing any
Involuntary Changes and (ii) ResCap shall obtain Buyer’s written consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned) prior to taking any action in response to such Involuntary Change
that, if taken, would constitute a Material Change in Service.
ARTICLE X Payment of Services.
Section 10.1 Service Costs. From Closing until the thirty (30) day anniversary
thereof, ResCap shall bear all costs of providing the Services. Thereafter, in consideration for
each Service, Buyer shall reimburse ResCap as set forth on Schedule I hereto.

ResCap shall invoice Buyer for the Applicable Service Cost promptly after the end of each calendar
month during such term. Buyer shall include with each invoice a reasonably detailed description of
the Services performed, the costs charged, and such other details as may be necessary to support
the invoice. All undisputed invoices shall be paid by Buyer to ResCap by wire transfer of
immediately available funds not later than sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by Buyer of
ResCap’s invoice, in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by ResCap to Buyer.
Section 10.3 Service Cost Disputes. In the event that Buyer has a good faith dispute
with regard to any costs invoiced by ResCap hereunder, Buyer shall provide ResCap with written
notice of such dispute, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of such dispute, at or
prior to the time payment would have otherwise been due, and Buyer may withhold payment of any
disputed amounts pending resolution of the dispute. Buyer’s failure to pay amounts disputed in
accordance with the preceding
2
sentence shall not be grounds for a claim of breach or suspension of the provision of Services
by ResCap, its controlled Affiliates or any third party service provider.
Section 10.4 Records and Inspection. During the term of this Agreement, ResCap shall
maintain complete and accurate records of the Services provided, costs invoiced to Buyer and
payments made thereunder. All such records shall be available for inspection by Buyer or its
representative.
ARTICLE XI Relationship between the Parties.
Section 11.1 Independent Contractors. ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and any third
party service providers in the performance of the Services, shall be acting as independent
contractors to Subsidiary and Buyer and its Affiliates, and not as partners, joint venturers or
agents of Buyer. Neither ResCap nor Buyer intends to create by this Agreement an employer-employee
relationship. Each of ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and any third party service providers, on
the one hand, and Subsidiary and Buyer, on the other hand, shall retain control over their
respective personnel, and their respective employees shall not be considered employees of the
other. Except as expressly provided pursuant to any signing authority granted pursuant to any
power of attorney or written consent of the board of directors of Buyer, neither ResCap, any of its
controlled Affiliates or any third party service providers, on the one hand, nor Subsidiary or
Buyer, on the other hand, shall have any right, power or authority to create any obligation,
express or implied, on behalf of the other pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 11.2 Cooperation. ResCap shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to,
and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its, employees, agents, representatives,
third party service providers and subcontractors to, cooperate fully with Buyer, its Affiliates and
their respective employees, agents and representatives to facilitate, in all respects, the
provision of Services to Buyer and its Affiliates. Buyer shall and shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its respective employees, agents, representatives and subcontractors
to, cooperate fully with ResCap, its controlled Affiliates and their respective employees, agents
and representatives to facilitate, in all respects, the provision of Services to Buyer.
Section 11.3 Steering Committee. As promptly as practicable, ResCap and Buyer shall
form a steering committee (the “Steering Committee”), which shall consist of two
individuals, one of whom shall be nominated by ResCap and one of whom shall be nominated by Buyer.
Subject to Section 1.3, to the fullest extent practicable, ResCap shall keep the Steering Committee
reasonably informed of all proposed changes to the provision of Services and consult with the
Steering Committee prior to taking any such action that would reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the provision of Services hereunder.
3
ARTICLE XII Service Standard; Compliance with Laws.
Section 12.1 Service Standard. ResCap shall, or shall cause its controlled Affiliates
to, or shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its third party service providers to,
provide the Services.
Section 12.2 Compliance With Laws. Neither ResCap nor any of its controlled
Affiliates shall violate any applicable Laws in connection with its performance of the Services.
Section 12.3 Third Party Service Provider. In each instance hereunder where ResCap
shall use a third party service provider to provide the Services, ResCap shall use its commercially
reasonably efforts to cause such third party service providers to provide the Services in
accordance with the Required Servicing Standard and other applicable terms hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any failure of any such third party service provider to perform any Services in
accordance with the Required Servicing Standard or other applicable terms hereof shall constitute a
breach by ResCap of the Requisite Servicing Standard or such other term, as the case may be, and
Subsidiary and Buyer shall be entitled to the remedies provided in this Agreement with respect to
such ResCap breach.
ARTICLE XIII Service Disruptions. If ResCap, its controlled Affiliates’ or
any third party service provider’s performance of any Services is interrupted in whole or in part
for any reason for more than three (3) full Business Days, then Subsidiary and Buyer has
the right (in addition to any other remedies available under this Agreement or by Law), at ResCap’s
sole cost and expense, to make commercially reasonable arrangements to procure such interrupted
Services from an alternative source for the period and to the extent reasonably necessitated by
such interruption, or, if longer, for the duration of the contract entered into with such
alternative source (provided, that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to limit the duration of the contract with such alternate source to the shortest period of time
that is reasonably practical).
ARTICLE XIV Indemnification.
Section 14.1 Buyer Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ResCap,
its controlled Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners,
members, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “ResCap Indemnified Parties”)
from and against all Losses arising out of any third party claims in connection with or arising
from the performance of the obligations of ResCap and its controlled Affiliates under this
Agreement, except to the extent such Losses arise out of (i) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of ResCap or any of its controlled Affiliates in the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement, or (ii) any claim that any of the Services violates or infringes on any
intellectual property rights of any third party.
Section 14.2 ResCap Indemnity. ResCap shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Buyer, its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Subsidiary) and
4
its and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, employees,
successors and assigns (collectively, the “ Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against
all Losses arising out of (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of ResCap or any of its
controlled Affiliates in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any claim
that any of the Services violates or infringes on any intellectual property rights of any third
party.
Section 14.3 Procedure. The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying
party of any action for which an indemnified party intends to claim indemnification hereunder
(provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve the indemnifying party from its indemnification obligations, except to the extent (and only
to the extent) that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure). The indemnified party
agrees that that the indemnifying party will have the right to assume and control the defense or
settlement of such action, with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable
to the indemnified party; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party
assumes the defense of any action, it shall have conclusively established its obligation to
indemnify the indemnified party with respect to such action and (ii) the indemnifying party shall
not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim in the event such settlement or
compromise imposes any liability or obligation on the indemnified party without the indemnified
party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). The indemnified party agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects with the
indemnifying party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action
covered by indemnification hereunder.
Section 14.4 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER RESCAP NOR BUYER SHALL BE REQUIRED TO
INDEMNIFY THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S CONTROLLED AFFILIATES FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, TREBLE,
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, REMOTE OR SPECULATIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR INTERNAL COSTS;
PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT, IF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS HELD LIABLE PURSUANT TO A
THIRD-PARTY CLAIM FOR ANY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY UNDER SECTION 6.1 OR SECTION 6.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN THE
INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR AND OBLIGATED TO REIMBURSE THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR SUCH
DAMAGES.
ARTICLE XV Term and Termination.
Section 15.1 Term. This Agreement shall be effective from and after the Closing Date
and continue until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Services have been terminated in
accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) the dissolution of Buyer. This Agreement shall terminate

forth in the preceding sentence. ResCap shall provide, or cause to be provided to, Buyer and
Subsidiary each Service until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which Buyer notifies ResCap
in writing to terminate such Service pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof and (ii) the dissolution of

Services, including the transfer and retention of records and data pertaining to the Services or

format), (ii) ResCap shall return to Buyer or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, destroy,

Assets.
Section 16.2 Obligations of Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall protect the
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party by using the same degree of care to prevent the
unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of such Confidential Information as the Receiving
Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event shall
the Receiving Party use less than a reasonable standard of care in its treatment of such
Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the Confidential Information solely for
the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, and shall limit its disclosure of such Confidential
Information to those employees, other personnel and third party service providers who have a need
to know such Confidential Information for such purposes and who are informed of the confidential

Information in accordance with this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any
breach of this Section 8.2 by any Person to whom it discloses or provides access to
Confidential Information.
Section 16.3 Exclusions.
6
(i) This Agreement imposes no obligation upon the Receiving Party with respect to
Confidential Information which (i) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge without
violation of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or any other Person to whom the Receiving

its Affiliates; (ii) is received on a non-confidential basis by the Receiving Party from a
third party that, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, is rightfully in possession of,
and with a right to make an unrestricted disclosure of, such information; or (iii) is
independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of Confidential Information
disclosed by the Disclosing Party.
(ii) If the Receiving Party is required (by applicable law, rule or regulation or a
subpoena, court order, similar judicial process, regulatory agency, Governmental Entity,
self-regulatory organization or stock exchange rule) to disclose any Confidential
Information, the Receiving Party will, to the extent consistent with legal and regulatory
requirements: (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and
circumstances surrounding such requirement, (ii) reasonably consult with the Disclosing
Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such
requirement and (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, to furnish only that
portion of the Confidential Information which the Receiving Party is required to disclose
and to reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost
and expense, to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.
Section 16.4 Ownership of Confidential Information. Neither the Receiving Party nor
any of its controlled Affiliates or third party service providers shall obtain any rights with
respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and in all cases the Disclosing
Party shall retain all right, title and interest in its Confidential Information.

or at any time upon request by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return to the
Disclosing Party or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, destroy, at the Disclosing Party’s

control of the Receiving Party or any of its controlled Affiliates or third party service providers
(including all copies thereof).

(each, a “Dispute”), including, without limitation, any dispute under Section 2.3
hereof, shall be submitted to the Steering Committee. If the Steering Committee fails to reach
unanimous agreement on the resolution of such Dispute within twenty (20) Business Days, then either

of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Chosen
Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions
that are the subject of this Agreement, each Party: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive

action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an
inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto and (iv) agrees that service

any act of God, fire, earthquake, failures of its computers or electronic transmissions (but solely
to the extent outside its reasonable control), strike or other labor disputes, war, embargo or
other governmental act, or riot; provided, however, that the party affected thereby
