Loan Agreement, if any, (including without limitation a failure of Junior Lender to make a loan under the Subordinated Loan Agreement for any reason when requested) that, in Buyer’s sole discretion, could have an adverse impact on the
Repurchase Assets or the rights or remedies of Buyer under any Facility Document or of Seller under the Subordination Agreement, and (c) the Subordinated Loan Agreement has not been modified, amended or altered without the prior written consent
of Buyer as required pursuant to Section 13(w) hereof; 
 (xxiii) Reverse Facility
Documents. The Reverse Facility Documents have been amended to add a cross-default provision with this Agreement and the other Facility Documents by no later than (a) the date when the Reverse Facility Documents are next amended and (b)
[***] following the Effective Date; 
 (xxiv) Other Documents. Such other documents as Buyer may reasonably request,
consistent with market practices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer. 
 (c) Initiation. 

  
 22 













 (i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, with respect to any
proposed Transaction for Eligible Mortgage Loans (including any Advanced Holdback Amount related thereto), as soon as available, but in no event later than [***] prior to a proposed Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i) a Transaction
Request, (ii) an Asset Schedule, and (iii) the Underwriting Package and any other related information available to Seller at that time which, collectively, shall identify the proposed Mortgage Loan(s) for purchase, the material
characteristics of such Mortgage Loan(s) and the characteristics of the Purchased Assets. Seller shall also deliver to Buyer such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer to assess such Mortgage Loan(s). Seller shall involve
Buyer in all aspects of due diligence as Buyer shall deem necessary in its sole discretion. Buyer shall have the right to review the information set forth on the Asset Schedule and the Eligible Mortgage Loans proposed to be subject to a Transaction
as Buyer determines during normal business hours. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Confirmation no later than [***] prior to a proposed Purchase Date and such Confirmation shall set forth for such Transaction (A) the Purchase Date, (B) the
aggregate Purchase Price, (C) the Repurchase Date, (D) the Pricing Rate applicable to the Purchase Price, (E) the Purchase Price Percentage, (F) to the extent such requested Transaction relates to any Advanced Holdback Amount,
the amount of such Advanced Holdback Amount together with such other information as requested by Buyer and (G) additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement, confirming the terms agreed upon between Buyer and Seller for
such Transaction and attaching the final Asset Schedule, and, if each of the conditions precedent in this Section 3 hereof have been met, as determined by Buyer, Buyer shall, up to the Committed Purchase Price and, in excess thereof, may in its
sole discretion, fund the related Purchase Price on the Purchase Date and such funding shall be deemed to be Buyer’s acceptance of the terms of the proposed Transaction set forth in the Confirmation. Seller shall execute and return the final
Confirmation to Buyer via e-mail on or prior to [***] (New York time) on the related Purchase Date. 

(ii) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction shall not be later than the then current Termination Date. 

(iii) Each Confirmation, together with this Repurchase Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the
Transaction(s) covered thereby. 
 (iv) No later than the date and time set forth in the Custodial Agreement, Seller shall
deliver to the Custodian the Asset File pertaining to each Eligible Mortgage Loan made subject to a Transaction. 
 (v) Upon
Buyer’s receipt of the Trust Receipt in accordance with the Custodial Agreement (in any event on or prior to the related Purchase Date) and subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the aggregate Purchase Price will
then be made available to Seller by Buyer transferring, via wire transfer, in the aggregate amount of such Purchase Prices in funds immediately available. 

(d) Optional Repurchase. Subject to the conditions herein, and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing,
Seller may cause the sale of Purchased Assets and effect an Optional Repurchase (as defined below) subject to the payment by the Seller to the Buyer of an Exit Fee (if any), on any date in connection with such Optional Repurchase which is not made
in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan. When the Mortgage Loans are desired to be sold or otherwise transferred or liquidated by Seller to a 

  
 23 













 
Take-Out Investor (an “Optional Repurchase”), for net sale proceeds that are equal or greater to the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage
Loans, Seller shall give Buyer at least [***] prior written notice thereof designating the applicable Mortgage Loans and specifying the net sale proceeds expected from such sale. If such notice is given, Seller shall, or shall cause the Take-Out Investor to, make payment directly to the Buyer or the Collection Account (at Buyer’s determination) in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price. 

(e) Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by reassignment to the Seller or their designee
of the Purchased Assets (and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof) against the simultaneous
transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Mortgage Loan (but Liquidation Proceeds received by Buyer shall
be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets on each Remittance Date except as otherwise provided herein). Seller is obligated to obtain the Asset Files from Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase
Date. 
 (f) Mandatory Repurchase. 

(i) If at any time there has occurred a Purchased Asset Issue with respect to any Purchased Asset, then the Asset Value thereof
shall automatically be reduced to zero and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Repurchase Notice”), require Seller to repurchase such asset. In the case of a
repurchase, such Seller, shall, at Buyer’s direction, be required to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan as soon as is practicable but, in any case, not more than [***] after Buyer has delivered such Repurchase Notice to Seller. Seller shall
be required to notify Buyer as soon as is practicable after obtaining knowledge of any fact that could be the basis for any Purchased Asset Issue, but, in any case, not more than [***] after obtaining knowledge thereof. For the sake of clarity,
Seller shall ensure that such Repurchase Price (including without limitation any related expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith) is remitted directly to Buyer and not pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Any cash
remitted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be credited and applied to the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset and any other amounts then due and payable by Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset.

 (ii) Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to send a Repurchase Notice at any time a Purchased
Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan shall not in any way limit or impair its right to send a Repurchase Notice at a later time. 

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Concentration Limit Issue with respect to any Purchased Asset, then the
Asset Value thereof shall automatically be reduced to zero and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice in which case Section 3(f)(i) above shall apply, (ii) reduce the
Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset to a lower percentage, which may be zero, in which case Section 4 hereof shall apply, or (iii) require Seller to contribute additional Eligible Mortgage Loans to ensure they are
in compliance with the Concentration Limit. 

  
 24 













 (g) LIBOR Rate Breakage Costs. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions
of Section 16 hereof, the Seller agrees that if any Repurchase Price is paid other than in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan and such Repurchase Price is paid on a date other than on a
Remittance Date, the Seller shall, upon demand by the Buyer, pay to the Buyer any such amounts as are reasonable to compensate the Buyer for any additional losses (not including lost profits), costs or expenses which the Buyer may incur as a result
of such payments, including, without limitation, any hedge breakage costs. 
 Section 4. Margin Amount Maintenance. 

(a) At any time a Margin Deficit in excess of the Minimum Margin Threshold exists, then Buyer may, by notice to Seller (as such notice is more
particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee, cash or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, additional Eligible Mortgage Loans (the “Additional Purchased Assets”)
in an amount (or Asset Value, in the case of Additional Purchased Assets) sufficient to eliminate the Margin Deficit (a “Margin Payment”). 

(b) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. Any Margin Deficit
notice given before [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Payment received, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day. If notice is made after [***] (New York City
time) on a Business Day, the Margin Payment shall be received by Buyer at [***] (New York City time) on the second Business Day. 
 (c) The
failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its failure to send a Margin Call notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan, or at any time there
exists a Margin Deficit, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date, or in any way create additional rights for Seller. 

(d) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the
related Transactions. 
 Section 5. Income Payments. 

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes
except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued and unpaid Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) on the Payment Date. If Seller fails to pay all or part of the
Price Differential then due by [***] (New York time) on any Payment Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential then due is received in full by Buyer. 

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause Servicer to, hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income, including, without limitation, all
Income received by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall cause the Servicer to deposit all such Income received on account of the Purchased Assets serviced or managed by Servicer in the related servicer account,
in accordance with the applicable Servicer Notice. To the extent that Seller is holding any Income, Seller shall deposit such Income on receipt into the Collection Account. To the extent such deposits are insufficient to cover the full Price
Differential due on the next Payment Date, Seller shall deposit funds into the Collection Account sufficient to cover such shortfall. 

  
 25 













 (c) Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to the Collection Account all Income held in the
related servicer account (such instruction shall be set forth in the Servicer Notice and shall be irrevocable without the prior written consent of Buyer) no later than, [***] following receipt in the servicer account. All Income shall be held in
trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer except for tax purposes which shall be treated as income and property of Seller and when deposited into the servicer account and Collection Account, respectively, shall not be commingled with
other property of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller. 
 (d) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be applied (x) with respect
to Principal Income only, each Weekly Payment Date, pursuant to clauses (D), (E) and (F) below and (y) with respect to all other Income, each Payment Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as follows: 

(A) first, to Custodian on account of any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and to Payment Agent and Calculation Agent on
account of any accrued and unpaid fees, unless Seller is paying such fees directly; 
 (B) second, to Buyer an amount equal
to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Payment Date; 
 (C) third, to Buyer on account of
unpaid fees, expenses, LIBOR Rate breakage costs, indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to the Buyer from Seller under the Agreement; 

(D) fourth, to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset, the amount of such Income representing Principal Income deposited
into the Collection Account during such Collection Period with respect to such Purchased Asset to reduce the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset to zero; 

(E) fifth, to pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Margin Deficit (after taking into account the
application of funds pursuant to clause (D) above, and without limiting Seller’s obligation to satisfy a Margin Deficit in a timely manner as required by Section 4); 

(F) sixth, all remaining amounts (if any), to the Seller. 

(e) Reserved. 
 (f) To the
extent that Buyer receives any funds from a Take-out Investor with respect to the purchase by such Take-out Investor of a Mortgage Loan (“Disposition
Proceeds”), the Buyer shall promptly apply such funds to the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loans purchased by such Take-out Investor, any Margin Deficit, and shall promptly remit any excess to
Seller. 

  
 26 













 (g) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred, all funds
in the Collection Account shall be withdrawn and applied as determined by Buyer. 
 Section 6. Requirements of Law. 

(a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or
change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof; 
 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer
which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on Buyer any other
condition; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing
or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer
for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. 
 (b) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of
law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which
Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then
from time to time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. 
 (c)
If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

  
 27 













 Section 7. Taxes. 

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

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or
similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for,
and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts
payable by Seller under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided
for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally
imposed or asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor. 

(d) Within thirty [***] after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to
Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
 (e) For purposes of subsection
(e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any
assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,”
“Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt
Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents: 

  
 28 













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

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or 
 (iii) in
the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or 
 (iv) in
the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or 

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


  
 29 













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

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

If Buyer has provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) above and the form provided by Buyer either at the time Buyer first becomes a party
to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other
than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the Effective Date) a Person becomes an assignee,
successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or
additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant
shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes. 

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

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

  
 30 













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

Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. 
 (a) Security Interest. On the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells,
assigns and conveys to Buyer all right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets to the extent of its rights therein. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes)
and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges on the date hereof to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations and hereby grants,
assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Seller’s rights, title and interest in the Purchased Assets, the Records, all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets (to the extent of Seller’s rights therein),
all Take-out Commitments, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the
related Mortgaged Property, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Mortgage Loan or any related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance,
any Income relating to any Purchased Asset, the aggregate Holdback Amount, the Collection Account, the Servicing Agreements, and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights
to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Assets or any interest in the Purchased Assets and the Mortgage Loans, as are specified on a
Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Asset Detail and Exception Report, and any proceeds and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”). 
 Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in
all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, on or prior to the related Repurchase Date. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit
enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

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

  
 31 













 The grants of security interest set forth in this Section are intended to constitute a
security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Section 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller, and in the
name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be
reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby give Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller
without assent by, but with notice to, Seller if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following: 

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

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

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Repurchase Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due
or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, any payment agent with respect to any Repurchase Asset; (B) to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of Seller and Servicer; (C) to
ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Repurchase Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices,
assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Repurchase Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the
Repurchase Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Repurchase Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Repurchase Assets; (G) to settle,
compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Repurchase Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time
to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do. 

  
 32 













 Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit J hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof.
Seller and Buyer acknowledges that the Powers of Attorney shall terminate on the later of (a) the Termination Date and (b) the satisfaction in full of the Obligations. 

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided
for in Section 15 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets. 

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Repurchase Assets and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 9.
Payment, Transfer And Custody.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs, the following rights and remedies are available to Buyer; provided, that an Event of Default shall be
deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing: 
 (i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written
notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Seller), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred,
shall be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”). 

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section, 

(A) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the
Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subsection (a)(i) of this Section, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied
to the Aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder, and (3) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control; and 

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction (determined as of the
Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of
such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as
determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section. 

  
 48 













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

(iv) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, or Buyer through its Affiliates or designees, may (A) immediately
sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to retain
such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets (as determined and adjusted by the Buyer in its sole discretion, giving such weight to the BPO Value or Appraised
Value, as applicable, or outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset as Buyer deems appropriate) against the Aggregate Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Facility Documents. The
proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to the foregoing shall be applied as determined by Buyer. 

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual expenses, including reasonable documented legal fees
and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or hedging transactions, and (C) any other actual loss, damage,
cost or expense arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default. 
 (vi) Promptly upon Buyer’s request,
Seller shall provide, at Seller’s cost, an updated BPO for each Purchased Asset. 
 (b) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that
(A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and
offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. The Seller recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same
purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Seller agrees that liquidation of a
Transaction or the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect,
in its sole good faith discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Buyer may exercise
one or more of the 

  
 49 













 
remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as
amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have. 
 (c) Buyer may
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any
defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller
recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. 

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

(e) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by
applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that
the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the
liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. 

Section 16. Indemnification and Expenses. 

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified
Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of counsel, and Taxes relating to or arising in connection with the
ownership of the Purchased Assets, but excluding any Taxes otherwise addressed in Section 7 of this Agreement) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to
or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility
Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt “Costs” shall include Taxes
that represent losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any


  
 50 













 
Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Purchased Assets, , that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified
Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Assets for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Assets, Seller
will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability
whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or
obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the
preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. 

(b) Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of this Agreement, any other
Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith in an amount not to exceed the Legal Expense Cap; provided that the Legal Expense Cap shall not apply if any extensive delays, unreasonable
negotiations, unanticipated issues or structural changes occur during such development, preparation or execution. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and
administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer which amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price paid for the first
Transaction hereunder. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including legal fees) in
connection with the development, preparation and execution of any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other document prepared in connection thereto. Subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 30 hereof, Seller agrees to pay Buyer all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller for purchase under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, those out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 16(b) and 19 hereof
and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Payment Agent and Calculation Agent. 
 (c) The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay
the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller. 

Section 17. Servicing. 

(a) Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with one or more Servicers to service the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill
and care that such Servicers customarily require with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by such Servicers and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall (i) comply with all


  
 51 













 
applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not
impair the rights of Buyer in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder. Buyer may terminate the servicing of any Mortgage Loan with the then existing servicer in accordance with Section 17(e) hereof. The Servicing
Agreement shall not be materially amended without the written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion; provided that the Seller shall provide the Buyer with written notice of any amendment of the Servicing
Agreement, including a copy of such amendment. 
 (b) The Holdback Servicer shall hold the aggregate Holdback Amount for all Purchased Assets
for the benefit of Buyer. The Holdback Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities
with respect to any Holdback Amount and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Holdback Amount or any payment thereunder. 
 (c)
Seller shall cause the Servicer and any interim servicer to deposit all collections received by Seller on account of the Purchased Assets in the Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b). 

(d) As compensation for its services under the Servicing Agreement the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee pursuant to the
Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible to pay all the fees and expenses of the Servicer out of the Servicing Fee or its own funds. 

(e) The Seller shall provide promptly to the Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Assets

 (f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event, the Buyer shall have the right to immediately
terminate the Servicer’s rights to service the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Servicer Notice. Seller and Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Assets to a
successor servicer selected by Seller and approved by Buyer in its sole discretion exercised in good faith. To the extent (i) Seller fails to select a successor servicer within [***] or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing hereunder, Buyer shall select a successor servicer in its sole discretion. 
 (g) If Seller should discover that, for any reason
whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully such Seller’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect
to the Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer. 
 (h) Seller shall provide, or shall cause Servicer to provide Buyer with the
values included in any updated BPO or Appraisal with its then-current monthly servicing reports, and copies of the updated BPOs or Appraisals, if requested by Buyer. 

Section 18. Recording of Communications. Buyer and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make
or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions upon notice to the other party of such recording.

 Section 19. Due Diligence. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to
perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller and Servicer, including, without limitation, financial information, organization documents, business plans, purchase agreements and underwriting purchase models for
each pool of Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Asset Files and any and all documents,
records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, Seller shall create and
deliver to Buyer within [***] of such request, an electronic copy via email to [***], in a format acceptable to Buyer, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or

additional Transactions with respect to the Mortgage Loans based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the
right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on
the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to the Mortgage Loans and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party
underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any
and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all outofpocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer
in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 19. Buyer may, based on such due diligence, require to change contractual terms and add protections it deems, in its absolute discretion, necessary to
protect its rights in the Mortgage Loans. 
 Section 20. Assignability. 

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior
written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Buyer may, upon at least [***] notice to Seller, from time
to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents to any Person pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment 


  
 53

Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and
obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless
otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

obligations under this Agreement to any Person; provided, however, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations; and (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in
Section 7; provided that no such restrictions shall apply with respect to any sale to any Affiliate of Buyer or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided further that Buyer shall act as
agent for all purchasers, assignees and point of contact for Seller pursuant to agency provisions to be agreed upon by Buyer, its intended purchasers and/or assignees and Seller. 

(c) Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 20, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been
furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. 

(d) In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in
good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities. 

Section 21. Transfer and Maintenance of Register. 

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 21, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.
Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 21 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with Section 21(b) hereof. 

  
 54 













 (b) Buyer, as agent for Seller, shall maintain a register (the “Register”)
on which it will record Buyer’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or
portion of such rights and obligations assigned or participated. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. If Buyer sells a participation in its
rights hereunder, it shall provide Seller, or maintain as agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement
or under any applicable Requirement of Law. 
 Section 22. Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is
its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of a
Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law. 

Section 23. Set-Off. 

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such
notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such
set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 

(b) Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or
performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred. 

Section 24. Terminability. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or
pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading,
notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 16
hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 25. Notices And Other Communications. Except as otherwise
expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing
(including without limitation by telecopy) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be

Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that

such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to
them in respect of any other Transaction hereunder; (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other

such set off or application.

APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 

Section 29. No Waivers, etc. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with
respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in

 Section 31. Confidentiality. 

(a) Buyer and the Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any other
regarding the terms set forth in any of the Facility Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby or pursuant to the terms thereof, including, but not limited to, the name of, or identifying information with respect to Buyer, any pricing

the Seller and its employees, directors, officers, advisors (including legal counsel, accountants, and auditors), representatives and servicers, (ii) it is requested or required by governmental agencies, regulatory bodies or other legal,
governmental or regulatory process, in which case Seller shall provide prior written notice to Buyer to the extent not prohibited by the applicable law or regulation, (iii) any of the Confidential Information is in the public domain other than

Documents or the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except where such communication or announcement is required by law or regulation, in which event the Parties will consult and cooperate with respect to the wording of any such
announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax
treatment or tax structure of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment or tax structure of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to

federal, state or local tax treatment of any Transaction contemplated hereunder and specifically does not include any information relating to the identity of the Buyer or any pricing terms hereunder. The provisions set forth in this
Section 31(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for [***]. 

  
 58 













 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller understands that
Confidential Information disclosed hereunder may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain
such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable local, state and federal laws relating to privacy and data protection (“Privacy Laws”). The Seller shall
implement administrative, technical and physical safeguards and other security measures to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” (as defined in the GLB Act) of
Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which Buyer holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic
personal information. Upon request, the Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that the Seller has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section. Without limitation, this may include

integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to the Seller. The Seller shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of
receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual. The provisions set forth in this Section 32(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for as long as Seller retains any
“nonpublic personal information” disclosed hereunder. 
 Section 32. Intent. 

(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of
Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term
is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the
pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A),
101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code
Section 365(a). 
 (b) Buyer’s right to liquidate the Repurchase Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions
hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 15 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in
Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction shall be considered a “margin payment” and “settlement payment” as such terms are defined in
Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5). 
 (c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository
institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any
rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 

  
 59 













 (d) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract”
as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a
“covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial
institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). 
 (e) This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a
“securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (f) Each party
agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and
capacity. 
 (g) Each party agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement or any Transaction as a repurchase
agreement, securities contract and master netting agreement under the Bankruptcy Code.

Transactions entered into hereunder are part of an integrated, simultaneously-closing suite of financial contracts.

 SCHEDULE 1 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS 

Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Purchase Date for the purchase
of any such Mortgage Loan by Buyer from Seller and at all times while the Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is
discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a
breach of the applicable representation and warranty. 
 (a) Data. The information on the Asset Schedule is complete, true and
correct in all material respects as of the date of such information. All information contained in the related Asset File in respect of the Mortgage Loans is accurate and complete in all material respects. 

(b) Regulatory Compliance. Any and all requirements of applicable federal, state, and local laws, including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, predatory and abusive lending laws, disclosure or unfair and
deceptive practice laws have been complied with. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same,
including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. 

(c) Origination and Servicing Practices; No Escrow Deposits. The origination and collection practices used by the originator, each
servicer of the Mortgage Loan and Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and the servicing
practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether such servicing was done by the Seller, its affiliates, or any third-party subservicer or servicing agent of any of the foregoing.
With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments (including, without limitation, any Holdback Amount), all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of Seller. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with
state and federal law. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any related Mortgage Loan Document. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to
state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited. 
 (d) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder
of the Mortgage Loan, and the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Buyer. The Seller
is transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances, liens, pledges, equities, participation interests, claims, agreements with other parties to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loan, charges or security interests of
any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan. 

  
 Schedule 1-1 













 (e) Enforceability and Priority of Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, and
enforceable perfected first lien on the property therein described, the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all adverse claims, encumbrances and liens having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage except for, (i) the lien of current
real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions, and restrictions, rights of way, easements, and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions in the area in which the Mortgaged Property is located, and (iii) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject that do not individually or in aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage. 
 (f) No Prior Modifications. Unless otherwise indicated in the related Asset Schedule and
reflected in an agreement included in the Asset File, neither Seller nor any prior holder of the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note has: (i) modified the mortgage or the related Mortgage Note in any material respect; (ii) satisfied,
canceled, or subordinated the mortgage in whole or in part; (iii) released the Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the lien of the Mortgage; or (iv) executed any instrument of release, cancellation, modification, or satisfaction.
If a Mortgage Loan has been modified, the modified terms are reflected on the Asset Schedule. The related Mortgage, Mortgage Note and each other related Mortgage Loan Document contain the entire agreement of the parties and all of the obligations of
Seller under the related Mortgage Loan. 
 (g) Business Purpose Mortgage Loan. The related Mortgaged Property is solely for use as an
investment property and Seller has provided Buyer or its designee with a statement from the Mortgagor certifying such purposes as well as other checks as agreed to between Seller and Buyer as determined through due diligence. Such Mortgage Loan was
not originated primarily for a personal, family or household purpose, as defined in the Truth in Lending Act and its implementing Regulation Z, and such Mortgage Loans was originated for business purposes. The Mortgaged Property securing the related
Mortgage is non-owner occupied. The related Mortgagor furnished to the Seller a certification that it and the related Sponsor(s) do not intend to, and will not, occupy the Mortgaged Property for more than
[***] during any [***]. 
 (h) Mortgage Recorded; Assignments of Mortgage. Except as provided in paragraph (i) below, each
original Mortgage was recorded or submitted for recordation in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been delivered in the appropriate form for recording in all
jurisdictions in which such recordation is necessary to perfect the ownership of the Mortgage by the owner thereof. With respect to each Mortgage that constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has
been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default
by the Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form (other than the name of the assignee
if in blank) and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged 

  
 Sch. 1-2 













 
Property is located. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, (i) the related Mortgage and Assignment of Mortgage have been duly and properly recorded in the name of MERS or its designee or
have been delivered for recording to the applicable recording office and (ii) a mortgage identification number has been assigned by MERS and such mortgage identification number is accurately provided on the Asset Schedule (or is otherwise
provided to Buyer).  
 (i) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or to the best of
Seller’s knowledge threatened, that is related to the Mortgage Loan and likely to affect materially and adversely such Mortgage Loan. 

(j) Complete Asset Files. For each Mortgage Loan, all of the Mortgage Loan documents required to be delivered to the Custodian have been
delivered to the Custodian and all Mortgage Loan documents necessary to foreclose on the Mortgaged Property are included in the related Asset File delivered to the Custodian. Each of the documents and instruments specified to be included in the
Asset File is executed and in due and proper form. With respect to each such Mortgage Loan, upon the consummation of the related Transaction, Custodian shall have received the related Asset File and such Asset File shall not have been released from
the possession of the Custodian for longer than the time periods permitted under the Custodial Agreement. 
 (k) Taxes, Assessments.
All taxes, governmental assessments, water, sewer, and municipal charges which previously became due and owing have been paid, or, where applicable law allows, an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for such item that
remains unpaid; except for any such charges for which Seller and/or Servicer have, after due consideration, made a determination not to pay for, in accordance with their current practice and have been disclosed in writing to Buyer. 

(l) No Rescission. (A) No Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim, or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject it to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense, including the defense of usury; and (B) to the best of Seller’s knowledge,
no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. 

(m) No Consents. Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the documents
governing such Mortgage Loan, no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Mortgage Loan, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such
Mortgage Loan or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Mortgage Loan. No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or
other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies with respect to such Mortgage Loan. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice
to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority over Seller is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Mortgage Loan. 

  
 Sch. 1-3 













 (n) Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage
are genuine, and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

(o) Environmental Matters. The Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation
of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue or is secured by
a secured lender’s environmental insurance policy 
 (p) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is
located in the U.S. or a territory of the U.S. and consists of a one- to four-unit residential property, which may include, but is not limited to, a single-family dwelling, a Small Multi-Family Property,
condominium unit, or mixed use property. No Mortgaged Property is a mobile home or a manufactured home. The Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgage on only one Mortgaged Property. 

(q) Unpaid Principal Balance. The unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan does not exceed [***] unless otherwise agreed to by
Buyer in its discretion. 
 (r) Appraisal. Except as otherwise agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion, Seller has furnished to
Buyer an Appraisal that reflects an Appraised Value of at least [***] of the related Mortgaged Property. 
 (s) Mortgaged Property
Undamaged. Unless required repairs were identified at the time of origination and appropriate set-asides have been made for such repairs, to the best of the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged
Property is in good repair and undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, hurricane, tornado, mold or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or
the use for which the premises were intended. 
 (t) No Condemnation. There is no proceeding pending or to the best of the
Seller’s knowledge threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property. 
 (u) Mortgagor. The
related Mortgagor is not insolvent and is not a foreign national. 
 (v) Consolidation of Principal Advances. Any principal advances
made have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate reflected on the Asset Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the
principal amount (as expressed on the related Mortgage Note which shall include the undisbursed Holdback Amount) is insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Buyer. 
 (w) No Fraud. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation,
negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, the Mortgagor, the appraiser, any servicer or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan or in connection with the sale of such Mortgage Loan to the Buyer. 

  
 Sch. 1-4 













 (x) Reserved. 

(y) Documents Genuine. Such Mortgage Loan and all accompanying Mortgage Loan Documents (including without limitation the related
Mortgage Loan Documents) are complete and authentic and all signatures thereon are genuine. 
 (z) Disbursements of Holdback Amounts.
To the extent the related Mortgagor requests disbursement of any Holdback Amounts, all such Holdback Amounts required to be disbursed have been disbursed by Holdback Servicer to the Mortgagor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

 (aa) Hazard Insurance. The related Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by an
insurer acceptable to Buyer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full
insurable value of the Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any
federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance
carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance
available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller,
its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and, to the extent such agreement is commercially available from the related insurer, may not be reduced, terminated or canceled
without [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee arising for any reason other than nonpayment of a premium. No such notice has been received by
Seller. All currently due premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such
insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance,
provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. To Seller’s knowledge, the
hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. No Seller has engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage
of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been
or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 

  
 Sch. 1-5 













 (bb) Disbursement of Proceeds. Any and all requirements as to disbursements of any
escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under
the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or any other related Mortgage Loan Document. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Seller pursuant to each Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and
there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith. 
 (cc) Title Insurance. The
Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Buyer and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Buyer and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress
and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey
exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and
remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of
the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful
compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 

(dd) No Defaults. As of the Purchase Date, (i) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any other related Mortgage Loan Document (including without limitation a failure by Seller to make an advance in accordance with the terms thereof to the related Mortgagor thereunder), and (ii) no event has
occurred which would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. No Seller has waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the Mortgage Note or any other related Mortgage Loan Document. 

(ee) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material
affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage. 

  
 Sch. 1-6 













 (ff) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were
considered in determining the Appraised Value or BPO Value, as applicable, of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach
upon such Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation. 

(gg) Underwriting Standards. Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines, unless otherwise
approved by Buyer. 
 (hh) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a
trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. There is only one originally executed Mortgage Note not stamped as a duplicate with respect to such Mortgage Loan. 

(ii) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding
Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement and chattel mortgage referred to in clause (i) above or other collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents. There are, as of origination date and as of the
Purchase Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property, and equipment and other personal property financing). No mezzanine debt is secured directly by interests in the related
Mortgagor. 
 (jj) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains
a provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder. 

(kk) Proceeds of Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have not been and shall not be used to satisfy, in whole or in part,
any debt owed or owing by the Mortgagor to Seller or any Affiliate or correspondent of Seller, except in connection with a refinanced Mortgage Loan. 

(ll) No Equity Participation. No document relating to the Mortgage Loan provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form
of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property. The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged
Property or the Mortgagor and no Seller has financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor. 

  
 Sch. 1-7 













 (mm) Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan provide
that such Mortgage Loan is either (x) full recourse against the related Mortgagor and/or natural person or (y) non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that (a) the related Mortgagor
and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, which acts
generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of
any related Mortgaged Property, and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and (b) the Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual
or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law. 
 (nn) Single-Purpose
Entity. With respect to each Mortgagor that is a Person other than an individual, each related non-recourse Mortgage Loan requires such Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the
Mortgage Loan is outstanding. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for
the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further
provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any material assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or
any material indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself
out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity. 
 (oo) Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related
Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan Documents do not provide for the release of any related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (b) as required pursuant to an order of
condemnation or a material casualty, or (c) in connection with a substitution of collateral within the parameters specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents. 

(pp) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage
Note have been made and credited. 
 (qq) Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller
to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, and, to each Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments
due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under
the related lease or Mortgage Loan Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof. 

(rr) Reserved. 

  
 Sch. 1-8 













 (ss) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each Seller has complied in all
material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination or purchase of each Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification
pursuant to the orders or the regulations promulgated by OFAC or in violation of the orders or OFAC regulations, and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such orders or OFAC regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes
of the OFAC regulations. 
 (tt) Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a
public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or
private water and sewer (or well and septic) and electricity all of which are appropriate for the current use of such Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part
of such Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy insuring such Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation
of separate tax lots, in which case the related Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which such Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

 (uu) Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses,
permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the related Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. Each
Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. No Seller is aware of any Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor on the Mortgage Loan having received
notice of any noncompliance with any use or occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate with respect to any Mortgaged Property. 

(vv) Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of
the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against each related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure. 
 (ww) UCC Filings; Mortgage Recorded. Each Seller has recorded or caused
to be recorded (or, if not recorded, have been submitted in proper form for recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security
interest in any collateral for such Mortgage Loan to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording, as the case may be. The related Mortgage (or equivalent document) or other related collateral document creates a
valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above that may be perfected by recording. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent
that possession or control of such items or actions other than the recording of UCC financing statements are 

  
 Sch. 1-9 













 
required in order to effect such perfection. The Mortgage either has been or will promptly be submitted for recordation in the appropriate recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement and chattel mortgage referred to above or other
collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents. 
 (xx) Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage interest rate (exclusive
of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of each Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements
pertaining to usury. No Mortgage Loan is subject to forfeiture or any material penalties as a result of non-compliance with any applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining
to usury. 
 (yy) Costs. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the related
Mortgage, which if unpaid would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the value of the related Mortgage Loan, were paid as of the related Purchase Date. The Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund
of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or any other related Mortgage Loan Document. 
 (zz) Rehabilitation. The
related Mortgaged Property is not a ground-up construction, a tear-down, a partial tear-down or a gut rehabilitation, unless the related Holdback Amount is more than [***] drawn and the projected construction
or rehabilitation is materially completed, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. 
 (aaa) Loan-to-After-Repair-Value Ratio. The Loan-to-After-Repair-Value Ratio of the Mortgage Loan does not exceed [***]. 

(bbb) Loan-to-Cost Ratio. The Loan-to-Cost Ratio of the Mortgage Loan does not exceed [***].

FORM OF SERVICER NOTICE 
 Servis One, Inc.
d/b/a BSI Financial Services, as Servicer 
 1425 Greenway Drive, Suite 400 

Irving, Texas 75038 
 Attention:[***] 

[***] 
  

	 	Re:	 Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of August 18, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), between Finance of America Commercial LLC (the “Seller”) and Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC (the “Buyer”). 



Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  

	 	1.	 Servis One, Inc. d/b/a BSI Financial Services (the “Servicer”) is servicing certain mortgage
loans (“Mortgage Loans”) for Seller pursuant to that certain Sub-Servicing Agreement between the Servicer and Seller dated as of February 16, 2017 (the “Servicing
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement among Buyer and Seller, the Servicer is hereby notified that Seller has pledged to Buyer certain mortgage loans, which are serviced by Servicer which are subject to a security interest in
favor of Buyer. Capitalized terms used herein that are not defined shall have their respective meanings as set forth in the Servicing Agreement. 



2. The Servicer shall segregate any amounts collected on account of such Mortgage Loans, hold them in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit
of Buyer, and remit such collections in accordance with the below instructions. Concurrently with the delivery of any remittance report to Seller, the Servicer shall also deliver a copy of such remittance report to the Buyer. 

Effective immediately, Seller instructs Servicer to follow the written instructions (including via email) of Buyer with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, and to deliver to Buyer information with respect to the Mortgage Loans reasonably requested by Buyer that is consistent with the information Servicer agreed to provide to Seller under the Servicing Agreement. Seller hereby notifies and
instructs the Servicer and the Servicer is hereby authorized and instructed as of the date hereof to remit no later than [***] following receipt in the applicable account, any and all amounts which would be otherwise payable to Seller with respect
to the Mortgage Loans into the account described on Schedule A attached hereto. 
 3. Upon receipt of a written notice (including via
email) from Buyer of an Event of Default (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement), Buyer shall have the right to (a) redirect the Servicer to remit funds in accordance with Buyer’s instructions and (b) notwithstanding


  
 Exh. I-1 













 
anything in the Servicing Agreement to the contrary, immediately terminate the Servicing Agreement, remove the Servicer and transfer servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
Buyer’s instructions; provided, that, Seller (and not Buyer) shall be responsible for the payment of any and all fees, indemnities, costs, reimbursements, expenses, penalties and termination fees (including, without limitation,
any Deboarding Fees, as such term is defined in the Servicing Agreement), regardless of when accrued, under the Servicing Agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, Seller and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the applicable servicing of the
Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion. 
 4. Notwithstanding any contrary information which may be
delivered to the Servicer by Seller, the Servicer may conclusively rely on any information or notice of Event of Default delivered by Buyer, and Seller shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against it for any
actions taken in good faith by the Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information or notice of Event of Default. 
 5. Buyer
shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of the Servicing Agreement, and the parties thereto shall not amend such Servicing Agreement without the consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion. 

6. This Servicer Notice may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Servicer Notice by signing any such counterpart. 
 7. This Servicer Notice
embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and thereto and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein and therein. No alteration, waiver, amendments,

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Pursuant to the
Repurchase Agreement, Servicer is hereby notified that Seller has conveyed and pledged to Buyer certain Mortgage Loans the beneficial ownership of which are then pledged to Buyer under the Repurchase Agreement (the “Mortgage
Loans”), which are serviced by [_________________] (the “Servicer”) pursuant to that certain Servicing Agreement dated as of [_________, 20__], by and among the Servicer and the Seller (as amended, modified or otherwise
supplemented from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not herein defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Repurchase Agreement. 

Section 1. Servicing Rights and Grant of Security Interest. (a) Servicer acknowledges that the
Mortgage Loans are being serviced on a servicing released basis. In the event that Servicer is deemed to retain any rights to servicing, Buyer and Servicer hereby agree that in order to further secure the Seller’s Obligations under the
Repurchase Agreement, Servicer hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all its rights to service (if any) related to the Mortgage Loans and all proceeds related thereto and in all instances,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (the “Servicing Assets”). 
 (b) The foregoing
provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Repurchase Agreement and Transactions thereunder as defined under Section 741(7)(A)(xi) and 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy
Code. 
 (c) Servicer agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully
perfect Buyer’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, Servicer hereby authorizes Buyer to file financing statements relating to the security interest set forth herein, as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. 

(d) Servicer waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement
and notice or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this side letter (the “Servicer Notice and Pledge”). Servicer hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Seller with
respect the Obligations.  

  
 Exh. I-2 













 (e) Buyer shall have all rights and remedies against Servicer and the Servicing Assets as
set forth herein, and the Servicing Assets shall be considered for all purposes Repurchase Assets under the Repurchase Agreement and Buyer shall have all rights and remedies under the Repurchase Agreement with respect to the Servicing Assets, which
are incorporated by reference herein. 
 Section 2. Notice of Default. (a) The
Servicer shall segregate all amounts collected on account of such Mortgage Loans, hold them in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Buyer, and remit such collections in accordance with the below instructions. Servicer shall follow the
instructions of Buyer with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and shall deliver to Buyer any information with respect to the Mortgage Loans reasonably requested by Buyer. Seller hereby notifies and instructs the Servicer and the Servicer is hereby
authorized and instructed to remit any and all amounts which would be otherwise payable to Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the following account no later than [***] following receipt thereof which instructions are irrevocable without

Mortgage Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the related Holdback Amount) to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion. 

(c) Notwithstanding any contrary information which may be delivered to the Servicer by Seller, the Servicer may conclusively rely on any
information or notice of Event of Default delivered by Buyer, and Seller shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against it for any actions taken in good faith by the Servicer in connection with the delivery of
such information or notice of Event of Default. 
 (d) Buyer shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of the Servicing Agreement, and the
parties thereto shall not amend such Servicing Agreement without the consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion.

the Buyer.

FORM OF SELLER POWER OF ATTORNEY 

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that FINANCE OF AMERICA COMMERCIAL, LLC (“Seller”) hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC (“Buyer”) and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in
Buyer’s discretion: 
 ( ) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any

assets whenever payable; 
 (a) to pay or discharge taxes and liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Assets; and 

(b) (i) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder
directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, any payment agent with respect to any Asset; (ii) to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of Seller and Servicer; (iii) to ask or demand for, collect, receive

any Assets; (vi) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Assets; (vii) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (vi) above and, in connection
therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (viii) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Assets and
Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do; 
 (c) for the
