shall specify whether or not the recapture provisions in Article III hereof shall apply during the applicable Commitment Period, and if not, the terms of any recapture or non-solicitation provision that will apply during such Commitment Period. Each
Commitment Period will be three months beginning, in the case of the first such period, with the first Business Day of the month following the month in which the Agreement Date occurs, with each subsequent period beginning on the first Business Day
of the month following the last day of the prior Commitment Period. If a Re-pricing Trigger occurs in a Commitment Period, either Seller or Purchaser may notify the other that it wishes to adjust the Agreed Price Parameters for the balance of such
Commitment Period. Following receipt of such a notice, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to revise the Agreed Price Parameters in light of the factor constituting the Re-pricing Trigger. Any change must be approved by the Independent
Directors before it will apply to any offer or sale. 
 (b) Each month during the term of this Agreement, beginning with the month after the
month in which the Agreement Date occurs, Seller shall offer, in good faith, to sell to Purchaser a participation interest in the Excess MSR for each Mortgage Loan (other than a New Mortgage Loan or an Additional Mortgage Loan ) originated by Seller
during the prior month. Each such offer shall be made by Seller’s delivery to Purchaser of a proposed Trade Confirmation signed by Seller (which may be an electronic signature) by the 10th
day of the applicable month. Such Trade Confirmation shall (i) include as an exhibit, a Schedule of Mortgage Loans relating to the Excess MSRs being offered, (ii) be accompanied by a Data Tape with respect to the loans listed on the

(c) If Purchaser accepts any such offer, it shall sign (which may be an electronic signature) and return the applicable Trade Confirmation to
Seller, whereupon Seller will be obligated to sell, and Purchaser will be obligated to purchase the applicable Sold Percentage of the Excess MSRs at the price calculated in accordance with the then-applicable Agreed Price Parameters. The closing of

Closing Date is mandatory from and after the date of the execution of the related Trade Confirmation by Purchaser, it being specifically understood and agreed that each related Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable and that an award of money

the Excess MSRs being offered, (ii) be accompanied by a Data Tape with respect to the loans listed in the Schedule of Mortgage Loans to the extent the same is available to Seller at the time, (iii) specify the proposed Sold Percentage of
the offered participation interest (which shall not be less than the applicable Minimum Percentage or more than the Maximum Percentage), (iv) specify the price at which Seller is willing to sell and (v) set forth the related Closing Date

Price agreed upon by the Parties. The closing of such purchase and sale shall occur on the Closing Date specified in the related Trade Confirmation. On the agreed upon Closing Date, Seller shall execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement to
Purchaser, along with the related Schedule of Mortgage Loans and Data Tape, and Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Seller.

hereof shall not apply to the Sold Percentage of Excess MSRs related to the applicable Bulk Purchase. In such case, either (i) Seller and Purchaser shall agree on alternative recapture provisions to be applicable to the related Mortgage Loans
or (ii) Seller agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its

general public at large, including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio or television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section, nor is Seller prohibited from
responding to unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a Mortgagor.

 Section 4.05 Intent and Characterization. 

(a) Seller and Purchaser intend that each sale of the Sold Percentage of the Excess MSRs pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a valid sale
of such percentage of the related Excess MSRs from Seller to Purchaser, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens, and that the beneficial interest in and title to each Sold Percentage of the related Excess
MSRs not be part of Seller’s estate in the event of the bankruptcy of Seller. Seller and Purchaser intend and agree to treat the transfer and assignment of each Sold Percentage of the related Excess MSRs as an absolute sale for tax purposes,

 35

Section 9.04 No Material Adverse Change. 

Since the Agreement Date, there shall not have been any change to Purchaser’s financial condition that will likely materially and
adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 Section 9.05 Certificate of Purchaser.

ARTICLE X 
 INDEMNIFICATION;
CURE 
 Section 10.01 Indemnification by Seller. 

(a) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser, its affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees,
agents, representatives and advisors (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) harmless from and shall reimburse the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee which result from: 

(i) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Seller, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Seller,
contained in this Agreement or any Trade Confirmation or Assignment Agreement; 

  
 36 








 (ii) Any servicing act or omission of any prior servicer relating to any Mortgage
Loan and any act or omission of any party related to the origination of any Mortgage Loan; 
 (iii) Any act, error or
omission of Seller in servicing any of the Mortgage Loans, including improper action or failure to act when required to do so; 

(iv) Any exercise of any rights of setoff or other netting arrangements by an Applicable Agency against Seller that results in
a decrease in Servicing Agreements termination payments due to Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans from that Agency or in a shortfall of funds to pay the Excess MSRs; and 

(v) Litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions or decrees resulting from any of the items
described in Section 10.01-(iv) above; 
 provided, however, that the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee has taken all
commercially reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such Losses as reasonably requested by Seller, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Seller of its indemnification obligations in this Section 10.01 but may
affect the amount of such obligation; and further provided, that any Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to any attempt to mitigate any such Losses shall be reimbursed by Seller as part of its indemnification
obligations in this Section 10.01. 
 (b) Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion
of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”). Upon receipt of notice of a Third Party
Claim, Seller shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee, but may not enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of
the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee; provided, however, that Seller may enter into a settlement without the prior consent of the Purchaser Indemnitee if Seller secures a full and unconditional release from any liability for the Third
Party Claim in favor of the Purchaser Indemnitee. A Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise participate in its defense at its own expense. Any exercise of such rights by a Purchaser Indemnitee shall not
relieve Seller of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 10.01 or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the applicable Purchaser
Indemnitee shall be required to cooperate in good faith with Seller to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third-Party Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s obligations for Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be limited to funds
available in the Reserve Account. 

  
 37 








 (c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01(a) above, in the event that counsel or
independent accountants for Purchaser determine that there exists a material risk that any amounts due to Purchaser under ARTICLE X hereof would be treated as Non-qualifying Income upon the payment of such amounts to Purchaser, the amount
paid to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement in any tax year shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be paid to Purchaser in such year without causing Purchaser to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for such year, determined as if the payment
of such amount were Non-qualifying Income as determined by such counsel or independent accountants. If the amount payable for any tax year under the preceding sentence is less than the amount which Seller would otherwise be obligated to pay to
Purchaser pursuant to ARTICLE X of this Agreement (the “Expense Amount”), then: (1) Seller shall place the Expense Amount into an escrow account (the “Expense Escrow Account”) using an escrow agent and agreement
reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and shall not release any portion thereof to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any such amount, unless and until Purchaser delivers to Seller, at the sole option of Purchaser, (i) an opinion
(an “Expense Amount Tax Opinion”) of Purchaser’s tax counsel to the effect that such amount, if and to the extent paid, would not constitute Non-qualifying Income, (ii) a letter (an “Expense Amount Accountant’s
Letter”) from Purchaser’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid at that time to Purchaser without causing Purchaser to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for any relevant taxable year, or (iii) a
private letter ruling issued by the IRS to Purchaser indicating that the receipt of any Expense Amount hereunder will not cause Purchaser to fail to satisfy the REIT Requirements (a “REIT Qualification Ruling” and, collectively with an
Expense Amount Tax Opinion and an Expense Amount Accountant’s Letter, a “Release Document”). 
 Section 10.02
Indemnification by Purchaser. 
 Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its affiliates and its and their respective
directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors (the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and shall reimburse the applicable Seller Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee which
result from: 
 (a) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of
Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and 
 (b) Litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions or decrees, the
basis for which occurred after the Agreement Date, resulting from any of the items described in Section 10.02(a) above; 
 provided,
however, that the applicable Seller Indemnitee has taken all commercially reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such Losses as reasonably requested by Purchaser, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Purchaser of its
indemnification obligations in this Section 10.02 but may affect the amount of such obligation; and further provided, that any Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitee pursuant to any attempt to mitigate any such Losses
shall be reimbursed by Purchaser as part of its indemnification obligations in this Section 10.02. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim. Upon receipt of such
notice of a Third Party Claim, Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Seller Indemnitee, but may not enter into any settlement without the
prior written consent of Purchaser; provided, however, Purchaser may enter into a settlement without the Seller Indemnitee’s prior consent if Purchaser obtains a full and unconditional


  
 38 








 
release from liability for the Third Party Claim in favor of the Seller Indemnitee. A Seller Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise participate in its defense
at its own expense. Any exercise of such rights by a Seller Indemnitee shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 10.02 or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third Party
Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the applicable Seller Indemnitee shall be required to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third-Party Claim. 

ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS

 Section 11.01 Costs and Expenses. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser and Seller shall each pay the expenses incurred by it in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby. 
 Section 11.02 Payments Adjustments. 

If, subsequent to the payment of any Purchase Price or the payment of any amounts due hereunder to either Party, the outstanding principal
balance of any Mortgage Loan is found to be in error, or if for any reason the Purchase Price or such other amounts is found to be in error, the Party benefiting from the error shall pay an amount sufficient to correct and reconcile the Purchase
Price or such other amounts and shall provide a reconciliation statement and other such documentation to reasonably satisfy the other Party concerning the accuracy of such reconciliation. Such amounts shall be paid by the proper Party within ten
(10) Business Days from receipt of satisfactory written verification of amounts due. 
 Section 11.03 Term and Termination.

 (a) Unless earlier terminated as provided below, this Agreement shall remain in full force until the later to occur of the date
(i) that is three (3) years after the Agreement Date and (ii) on which an affiliate of Seller is not acting as the external manager of Purchaser. 

(b) In the event that a party materially breaches any representation or covenant herein, the other party may give written notice of the breach
requiring the same to be remedied within 30 days of receipt of such notice. If the breaching party fails to remedy the material breach in such time period, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by delivery of a written termination
notice to the breaching party. Any such termination shall not relieve the breaching party from any obligation or liability arising prior to such termination. 

(c) Any termination of this Agreement, whether upon expiration of the term or otherwise, shall only terminate the obligation of Seller to
offer participation interests to Purchaser as described herein. All other covenants and obligations shall remain in full force and effect not withstanding such termination until Purchaser has received all amounts in respect of the Excess MSRs in
which it has an interest.

contrary.

Seller in certain mortgages and/or participation interests related to such mortgages (“Pooled Mortgages”) and pooled under the mortgage-backed securities program of the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”),
pursuant to section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g); 
 (2) To the extent that the security
interest reflected in this instrument relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages, such security interest is subject and subordinate to all rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under and in
