Seller shall separately service and administer each Mortgage Pool that is subject to a Transaction hereunder in accordance with Accepted

a Transaction, and Purchaser may, at any time during Seller’s normal business hours, on reasonable prior written notice, examine such records. In addition, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on each Remittance Date (or other date of required
remittance of Mortgage Loan payments) occurring during the Interim Servicing Period a written report regarding the status of those Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Transaction, in the form, and having the content, of the remittance report

 -21- 













 Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against any and all actions, claims,
liabilities or other losses (“Losses”) resulting from or otherwise arising in connection with the failure of Seller to perform its Obligations in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement (which indemnification shall not
include consequential damages but shall include, without limitation, any failure to perform interim servicing obligations, any failure of a Takeout Buyer to perform in a timely manner under its forward purchase commitment if such failure was caused
by Seller’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or Seller’s failure to take action under the terms of this Agreement, any Losses attributable to an Agency Security Issuance Failure if such failure was caused by Seller’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or Seller’s failure to take action under the terms of this Agreement, any Losses attributable to the improper servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Transaction and any Losses
attributable to the failure of an Agency to deliver an Agency Security on the Scheduled Delivery Date if such failure was caused by Seller’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or Seller’s failure to take action under the terms
of this Agreement). 
 With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Transaction, if such Mortgage Loan is delinquent with respect
to either the Mortgage Loan’s first or second scheduled monthly payment subsequent to origination of such Mortgage Loan, Seller shall, upon receipt of notice from Purchaser, promptly indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against any Losses
resulting from or otherwise arising in connection with such delinquent Mortgage Loan. 
 As compensation for Seller undertaking interim
servicing duties, Seller shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee and such other compensation (e.g., late fees and assumption fees) as and in such manner provided for under the applicable provisions of the relevant Agency Guide and
Agency Program. 
 (b) Seller’s Retention of Mortgage Files and Servicing Files. Each Servicing File and Mortgage File related to
Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Participation Certificate shall be held by Seller in order to service such Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement and are and shall be held in trust by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser as the owner thereof
during the Interim Servicing Period or at any other time that it is servicing such Mortgage Loan hereunder for the benefit of Purchaser or its permitted assigns. Seller’s possession of each Servicing File and Mortgage File related to the
Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Participation Certificate is at the will of Purchaser for the sole purpose of facilitating servicing of the related Mortgage Loan during the Interim Servicing Period pursuant to this Agreement, and such retention
and possession by Seller shall be in a custodial capacity only. The ownership of each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and related Mortgage Loan Documents related to the Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Participation Certificate, and the contents of each
Servicing File and Mortgage File related thereto is vested in Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of Seller shall immediately vest in
Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by Seller at the will of Purchaser in such custodial capacity only. The books and records of Seller shall be appropriately marked to clearly reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans that
are subject to a Participation Certificate by Purchaser (subject to the rights of the relevant Agency upon issuance of the Agency Security). Seller shall release from its custody the contents of any Mortgage File or Servicing File related to
Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Participation Certificate retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement and/or any applicable Agency Guide, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan. 

  
 -22- 













 (c) Custodial Collection Account and Escrow Account; Mortgage Loan Payments. Seller
shall establish one or more custodial collection accounts and escrow accounts, each in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, and each titled, “loanDepot.com, LLC, in trust for JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association Residential Rate
Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors” (each such account, a “Custodial Account”). Such accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to Purchaser and Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser evidence
of the establishment of such accounts by delivery to Purchaser of certifications substantially in the form of the above-referenced account certifications. 

Any funds deposited in any of the foregoing accounts shall at all times be fully insured by the FDIC to the full extent permitted under
applicable law. Funds shall be deposited in such accounts, and may be drawn on and invested and reinvested, by Seller solely in a manner consistent with the applicable servicing provisions of the Agency Guide and Agency Program relating to the
Agency Security originally intended to be issued in connection with the relevant Transaction. 
 (d) Subservicers. The Mortgage Loans
may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of Seller provided that the Subservicer is a GNMA-approved issuer, Fannie Mae-approved lender, FHLMC seller/servicer, FHA
Approved Mortgagee, and VA Approved Lender, in each case in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, that would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for
lenders/servicers imposed by the relevant Agency Guide. Seller shall notify all relevant Subservicers, at the commencement of each Transaction, of Purchaser’s interest under this Agreement. Seller shall pay all fees and expenses of a
Subservicer from its own funds, and a Subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee respecting a particular Mortgage Pool. 
 At
the cost and expense of Seller, without any right of reimbursement from any custodial collection account, Seller shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of a Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be
performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit Seller, at Seller’s option, from electing to service
the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that Seller’s responsibilities and duties respecting a particular Mortgage Pool expire by reason of expiration or earlier termination of the Interim Servicing Period, if reasonably requested to do
so by Purchaser, Seller shall, at its own cost and expense, terminate the rights and responsibilities of any Subservicers as soon as is reasonably possible. 

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between Seller and a Subservicer or any
reference herein to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, Seller shall not be relieved of its Obligations to Purchaser or other registered holder of the Participation Certificate and shall be obligated to the same extent and under the
same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and Seller shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of a Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of Seller.
Seller shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer for indemnification of Seller by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. 

  
 -23- 













 Any subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage
Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and Seller alone, and Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability to pay the
Subservicer’s fees and expenses. 
 (e) Early Servicing Termination. Without limiting Purchaser’s rights to terminate Seller
as servicer as provided above, Purchaser (or any other registered holder of the related Participation Certificate) shall nonetheless be entitled (and in the case of clause (vi), such termination shall occur automatically), by written notice to
Seller (and in the case of clause (vi) below immediately without notice), to effect termination of Seller’s interim Servicing Rights and obligations respecting the affected Mortgage Pool in the event any of the following circumstances or
events (“Servicing Termination Events”) occur and are continuing: 
 (i) the Seller shall default in the
payment of (i) any Losses pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, or (ii) any other Expenses, payments or obligations under the Program Documents, when the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof, or by
acceleration or otherwise, and such failure to pay under this clause (ii) continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days; or

(B) any information contained in any written statement, report, financial statement or certificate made or delivered by Seller
(either before or after the date hereof) to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Program Document (other than as set forth in Section 10(b) unless (x) Seller shall have made any such representations and warranties
with actual knowledge that they were materially false or misleading at the time made or (y) any such representations and warranties have been determined by Purchaser to be materially false or misleading on a regular basis) is untrue or
incorrect in any material respect as of the date when made or deemed made; or 
 (iv) Seller shall fail to comply with any of

Assets), or (a)(xxiii) (Agency Approvals; Servicing); or

trustee on behalf of such counterparty) to cause, Indebtedness of Seller in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to become or be declared due before its stated maturity (upon the giving or receiving of notice, lapse of time or both, if
applicable, or satisfaction of any other condition to acceleration, whether or not any such condition to acceleration has been satisfied); or 

(xi) Seller fails to pay when due any repurchase price, margin amount, price differential, principal, interest or other amount

Million Dollars ($10,000,000), individually or in the aggregate, if the effect of such failure, breach or default is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders thereof (or a trustee on behalf of such holder or holders) to cause, such Indebtedness
of Seller to become or be declared due before its stated maturity (upon the giving or receiving of notice, lapse of time 

  
 -25- 













 
or both, if applicable, or satisfaction of any other condition to acceleration, whether or not any such condition to acceleration has been satisfied); provided that if such breach or
default is waived in writing by the holder of such Indebtedness before Purchaser has exercised its right to terminate the interim Servicing Rights and Obligations of the Seller pursuant to Section 5(f) of this Agreement, no Servicing

(f) Remedies. In the case of the events described in clause (e)(vi), immediately upon the occurrence of any such event,
regardless of whether notice of such event shall have been given to or by Purchaser or Seller, and each and every other case, so long as the Servicing Termination Event shall not have been remedied (but only to the extent, and within the time
period, of any remedy period provided above), in addition to whatever rights Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, by notice in writing to Seller, Purchaser may terminate all the
interim Servicing Rights and Obligations of Seller under this Agreement and all Outstanding Transactions. 
 Upon receipt by Seller of such
written notice, all authority and power of Seller respecting its interim mortgage servicing duties under this Agreement and any affected Transactions, shall pass to and be vested in the successor servicer appointed by Purchaser (a
“Designated Servicer”). Upon written request by Purchaser, Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Designated Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s possession all Mortgage
Files and Servicing Files related to the Mortgage Loans that are subject to affected Transactions, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not

Section 6. Seller Covenants Regarding Transfer of Servicing. 

In the event a Servicing Termination Event occurs as described in clause (e)(vi) of the definition of Servicing Termination Event or

servicing to the Designated Servicer in compliance with applicable law on or before the Servicing Transfer Date, including: 
 (a) Notice
to Mortgagors. Seller shall mail to the mortgagor of each Mortgage Loan that is subject to an affected Transaction, by such date as may be required by law, a letter advising the mortgagor of the transfer of the servicing thereof to the
Designated Servicer. Seller shall promptly provide the Designated Servicer with copies of all such letters. Purchaser shall cause the Designated Servicer to mail a letter to each such mortgagor advising such mortgagor that the Designated Servicer is
the new servicer of the related Mortgage Loan. Such letters shall be mailed by such date as may be required by applicable law. 

  
 -27- 













 (b) Notice to Taxing Authorities, Insurance Companies and HUD (if applicable). Seller
shall transmit or cause to transmit to the applicable taxing authorities and insurance companies (including primary mortgage insurers, if applicable) and/or agents, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Servicing Transfer Date,
notification of the transfer of the servicing to the Designated Servicer and instructions to deliver all notices, tax bills and insurance statements, as the case may be, to the Designated Servicer from and after the Servicing Transfer Date. Seller

addition to the requirements set forth above, Seller shall provide notice to HUD on such forms prescribed by HUD, or to the VA respecting the transfer of insurance credits, as the case may be. Seller shall continue to remit all mortgage insurance

(d) Delivery of Servicing Records. Seller shall forward to the Designated Servicer, not more than thirty (30) days after the
Servicing Transfer Date, all Servicing Files, Mortgage Files and any other Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s (or any Subservicer’s) possession relating to each Mortgage Loan that is subject to an affected Transaction. 

(e) Escrow Payments. Seller shall provide the Designated Servicer on or before the Servicing Transfer Date with immediately available
funds by wire transfer in the amount of the net Escrow Payments and suspense balances and all loss draft balances associated with the Mortgage Loans in an affected Mortgage Pool. Seller shall provide the Designated Servicer on or before the
Servicing Transfer Date with an accounting statement of Escrow Payments and suspense balances and loss draft balances sufficient to enable the Designated Servicer to reconcile the amount of such payment with the accounts of the Mortgage Loans in the
affected Mortgage Pool. Additionally, Seller shall wire to the Designated Servicer on or before the Servicing Transfer Date the amount of any agency, trustee or prepaid Mortgage Loan payments and all other similar amounts held by Seller (or
Subservicer), in each case with respect to Mortgage Loans that are subject to an affected Transaction.

(g) Mortgage Payments Received Prior to Servicing Transfer Date. Seller shall forward by wire transfer, on or before the Servicing
Transfer Date, all payments received by Seller (or Subservicer) on each Mortgage Loan in the affected Mortgage Pools prior to the Servicing Transfer Date to Purchaser. 

  
 -28- 













 (h) Mortgage Payments Received After Servicing Transfer Date. Seller shall forward
the amount of any monthly payments received by Seller (or Subservicer) after the Servicing Transfer Date) on account of each Mortgage Loan in the affected Mortgage Pools to the Designated Servicer by overnight mail on the date of receipt. Seller
shall notify the Designated Servicer of the particulars of the payment, which notification requirement shall be satisfied (except with respect to Mortgage Loans then in foreclosure or bankruptcy) if Seller (or Subservicer) forwards with its payments
sufficient information to the Designated Servicer. Seller shall assume full responsibility for the necessary and appropriate legal application of monthly Mortgage Pool payments received by Seller (or Subservicer) after the Servicing Transfer Date
with respect to Mortgage Loans then in foreclosure or bankruptcy; provided, however, necessary and appropriate legal application of such monthly Mortgage Pool payments shall include, but not be limited to, endorsement of a Mortgage
Loan monthly payment to the Designated Servicer with the particulars of the payment such as the account number, dollar amount, date received and any special mortgage application instructions. 

(i) Reconciliation. Not less than five (5) days prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, Seller shall reconcile principal balances and
make any monetary adjustments reasonably required by the Designated Servicer. Any such monetary adjustments will be transferred between Seller and the Designated Servicer, as appropriate. 

(j) IRS Forms. Seller shall timely file all IRS forms which are required to be filed in relation to the servicing and ownership of the
Mortgage Loans in the affected Mortgage Pools. Seller shall provide copies of such forms to the Designated Servicer upon request and shall reimburse the Designated Servicer for any costs or penalties incurred by the Designated Servicer due to
Seller’s failure to comply with this paragraph. 
 In the event Seller fails to perform any of its obligations described in paragraph
(a) through (j) above within the time periods specified therein, Purchaser may take, or cause to be taken, at Seller’s expense, any of the actions described therein. 

Section 7. Intent of Parties; Security Interest. 

(a) From and after the issuance of the related Participation Certificate, the record title of Seller to each related Mortgage Loan is retained
by Seller in trust, for the sole purpose of facilitating the interim servicing of such Mortgage Loan, and all funds received on or in connection with such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account and held by Seller in trust for the
benefit of the registered holder of the related Participation Certificate and shall be disbursed only in accordance with this Agreement. 

(b) It is the intent of the parties hereto that the sale of a participation in each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on Seller’s balance
sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by Seller. Seller shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for each Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder which shall be
clearly marked to reflect that such Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder. 

  
 -29- 













 (c) Purchaser and Seller confirm that each of the Transactions contemplated herein are
purchases and sales and are not loan transactions. If Seller is an insured depository institution, the parties understand and intend that this Agreement and each Transaction constitute “qualified financial contracts” as that term is used
in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Section 1821 of Title 12 of the United States Code, as amended. If Seller is any other type of entity, the parties understand and intend that this Agreement and each Transaction constitute a
“securities contract” as that term is defined in § 741(7) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In addition to the foregoing, (x) Seller hereby pledges to Purchaser as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations
under this Agreement and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Purchaser a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans that are the subject of a Participation Certificate, any Agency Security or right to receive such
Agency Security when issued to the extent backed by any of such Mortgage Loans, the custodial collection accounts and escrow accounts referred to in this Agreement or any other Program Document, the Takeout Commitments (and assignments thereof) with
respect to any Agency Security to be issued in connection with a Transaction under this Agreement, together with all related Servicing Rights, the Servicing Files, Mortgage Files, Mortgage Loan Documents and Pooling Documents 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, in each case to the extent that the foregoing relates to
any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Participation Certificate; and any other assets relating to such Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any other accounts) that are subject to a Participation Certificate or any interest in the
Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Participation Certificate and all products and proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the
“Basic Collateral”); (y) possession of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Pooling Documents and any other documentation relating to the Mortgage Pool or the Agency Security relating to any Transaction hereunder by Custodian or by Seller
shall constitute constructive possession by Purchaser; and (z) Purchaser shall have all the rights of a secured party pursuant to applicable law, and for such purposes this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement. 

(d) In the event that the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Participation Certificate is deemed a separate property right
severable from the Mortgage Loans and Participation Certificates, and in any event, Seller and Purchaser intend that Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, shall have, and the Seller hereby grants and pledges to Purchaser or its Assignee a
perfected first priority security interest in Seller’s right, title and interest in the Servicing Rights to the Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Participation Certificate and the Servicing Files related thereto and the proceeds of any and
all of the foregoing in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (“Additional Collateral”; together with the Basic Collateral, the “Collateral”) free and clear of
adverse claims.

Section 9. Representations and Warranties. 

(a) Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the date of each issuance and delivery of a
Participation Certificate that: 
 (i) Seller is Principal. Seller is engaging in the Transactions as a principal.

 (ii) Reserved. 

(iii) Solvency. Both as of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to each Transaction hereunder, the fair
value of Seller’s assets is greater than the fair value of Seller’s liabilities (including contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as liabilities on the financial statements of Seller in accordance with GAAP),
and Seller (1) is not insolvent (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(32)), (2) is able to pay and intends to pay its debts as they mature and (3) does not have unreasonably small capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged and
proposes to engage. Seller does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Seller is not transferring any Mortgage Loans with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any Person.

Seller intends to perform, each and every covenant that it is required to perform under this Agreement and the other Program Documents. 

  
 -32- 













 (vi) Organization and Good Standing; Subsidiaries. Seller is a
limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which it was organized, has full legal power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business as currently
conducted, and is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except in jurisdictions, if any, where a failure to be in
good standing has no material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets or financial condition of Seller. For the purposes hereof, good standing shall include qualification for any and all licenses and payment of any and all taxes required
in the jurisdiction of its organization and in each jurisdiction in which Seller transacts business. Seller has no Subsidiaries except those listed in Exhibit F, as such exhibit has been most recently updated by a revision delivered by Seller
to Purchaser. As of the date of this Agreement, with respect to Seller and each such Subsidiary, Exhibit F correctly states its name as it appears in its articles of formation filed in the jurisdiction of its organization, address, place of
organization, each state in which it is qualified as a foreign corporation or entity, and in the case of the Subsidiaries, the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of Seller in such Subsidiary. 

(vii) Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheets of Seller provided to Purchaser pursuant to
Section 10(a)(vi) (and, if applicable, its Subsidiaries) as of the dates of such balance sheets, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods ended
on the dates of such balance sheets heretofore furnished to Purchaser, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Seller and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of their operations for the periods ended on such
dates. On the dates of such balance sheets, Seller had no known material liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed
by, or reserved against on, said balance sheets and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Seller except as heretofore disclosed to
Purchaser in writing. Said financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved. Since the date of the balance sheet most recently provided, there has been no Material Adverse
Effect, nor is Seller aware of any state of facts particular to Seller that (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) could reasonably be expected to result in any such Material Adverse Effect. 

(viii) No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, nor compliance with its terms and conditions, shall conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Liens created pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Program Documents) of any nature upon the properties or assets of Seller under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Seller’s organizational documents, or any material mortgage, indenture, deed of trust,
loan or credit agreement or other material agreement or material instrument to which Seller is now a party or by which it is bound (other than this Agreement). 

  
 -33- 













 (ix) Authority and Capacity. Seller has all requisite power,
authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and each other Program Document and to perform the obligations required of it hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and all of the Program Documents constitute a valid and legally binding
agreement of Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, conservatorship and similar laws, and by equitable principles. No consent, approval,
authorization, license or order of or registration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required under any Requirement of Law before the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by Seller with this Agreement or any
other Program Document or the consummation by Seller of any transaction contemplated thereby, except for those that have already been obtained by Seller, and the filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant to this Agreement and
the other Program Documents. If Seller is a depository institution, this Agreement is a part of, and will be maintained in, Seller’s official records. 

(x) Approved Company. Seller currently holds all approvals, authorizations and other licenses from the Takeout Buyer and
the Agencies required under the Agency Guides (or otherwise) to originate, purchase, hold, service and sell Mortgage Loans of the types to be transferred hereunder. 

(xi) Reserved. 

(xii) Reserved. 

(xiii) Reserved. 

(xiv) No Potential Servicing Termination Event. No Potential Servicing Termination Event or Servicing Termination Event
has occurred and is continuing. 
 (xv) Litigation; Compliance with Laws. There is no litigation pending or, to
Seller’s knowledge threatened, that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect or that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Participation Certificates, Mortgage Loans or Agency Securities
transferred or to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement, taken as a whole. Seller has not violated any Requirement of Law applicable to Seller that, if violated, would materially and adversely affect the Participation Certificates, Mortgage
Loans or Agency Securities to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement, taken as a whole, or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(xvi) Tax Returns and Payments. All federal, state and local income, excise, property and other tax returns required to
be filed with respect to Seller’s operations and those of its Subsidiaries in any jurisdiction have been filed on or before the due date thereof (plus any applicable extensions); all such returns are true and correct in all material respects;
all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Seller, and Seller’s Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, income or franchises, that are, or should be shown on such tax returns to be, due and payable have been
paid, including all Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) payments and withholding taxes, if 

  
 -34- 













 
appropriate, other than those that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, diligently pursued and as to which Seller has established adequate reserves determined in
accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. The amounts reserved, as a liability for income and other taxes payable, in the financial statements described in Section 10(a)(vi) are sufficient for payment of all unpaid
federal, state and local income, excise, property and other taxes, whether or not disputed, of Seller and its Subsidiaries, accrued for or applicable to the period and on the dates of such financial statements and all years and periods prior thereto
and for which Seller and Seller’s Subsidiaries may be liable in their own right or as transferee of the assets of, or as successor to, any other Person. 

(xvii) Investment Company Act. Seller is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (xviii) Participation Certificates. 

(A) The Seller has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
Participation Certificate to any other Person (other than Purchaser), and immediately prior to the sale of the related Participation Certificate to the Purchaser, the Seller was the sole owner of such Mortgage Loan and had good and marketable title
thereto, free and clear of all Liens, in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the sale to the Purchaser hereunder. 

(B) The provisions of this Agreement are effective to either constitute a sale of the Participation Certificate and the
beneficial interest in the Mortgage Pool to the Purchaser or to create in favor of the Purchaser a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Pool related to such Participation Certificate.

(xxii) Statements Made. The information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by
or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser in connection with the negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Agreement and the other Program Documents or included herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, when taken as a whole, do not

 -35- 













 
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Seller to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the
other Program Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be true, complete and accurate in every material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable estimates, on the date as of which such information is
stated or certified. There is no fact known to a Responsible Officer that, after due inquiry, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other Program Documents or in a report, financial
statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to Purchaser for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(xxiii) ERISA. All plans (“Plans”) of a type described in Section 3(3) of ERISA in respect of
which Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller is an “employer,” as defined in Section 3(5) of ERISA, are in substantial compliance with ERISA, and none of such Plans is insolvent or in reorganization, has an accumulated or waived funding
deficiency within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code, and neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller has incurred any material liability (including any material contingent liability) to or on account of any such Plan pursuant to Sections
4062, 4063, 4064, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA. No proceedings have been instituted to terminate any such Plan, and no condition exists that presents a material risk to Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller of incurring a liability to or on account of any such
Plan pursuant to any of the foregoing Sections of ERISA. As of the date of this Agreement, no material liability exists with respect to any Plan in which Seller, any Subsidiary of Seller is an “employer”, or any trust forming a part
thereof, that has been terminated since December 1, 1974. 
 (xxiv) Agency Approvals. Seller (and each
subservicer) is approved by GNMA as an approved issuer, Fannie Mae as an approved lender, Freddie Mac as an approved seller/servicer (as the case may be) and by FHA as an approved mortgagee and by VA as an approved VA lender, in each case in good
standing (such collective approvals and conditions, “Agency Approvals”), with no event having occurred or Seller (or any subservicer) having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur prior to the issuance of the Agency
Security, including without limitation a change in insurance coverage which would either make Seller (or any subservicer) unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such Agency Approvals. Should Seller (or any
subservicer), for any reason, cease to possess all such Agency Approvals, Seller shall so notify Purchaser immediately in writing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller shall take all necessary action to maintain all of its (and each
subservicer’s) Agency Approvals at all times during the term of this Agreement and each outstanding Transaction. Seller (and any subservicer) has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary
for the sound servicing of residential mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; 

(xxv) No Reliance. The Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Program Documents and each
transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. The Seller is
not relying upon any advice from Purchaser as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions.

 (xxvi) Plan Assets. The Seller is not an employee benefit plan as
defined in Section 3 of Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, and the Mortgage Loans are not “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 CFR §2510.3-101

 (xxvii) Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller and its Affiliates each complies with all
Anti-Money Laundering Laws applicable to it and its agents. 
 (xxviii) Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. Seller has
implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by Seller, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, members, managers, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable
Sanctions, and Seller, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, members, managers, officers, employees and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. Neither Seller, any of its
Subsidiaries nor any of their respective directors, members, managers, officers or employees or agents that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the mortgage warehousing facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No
use of proceeds of any Transaction nor any other transaction contemplated by the Program Documents will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. 

(xxix) Eligibility of Custodian. The Custodian is an eligible custodian under the Agency Guide and Agency Program; 

(xxx) Takeout Commitment. Any related Takeout Commitment constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable mandatory delivery
commitment by a Takeout Buyer to purchase on the Settlement Date and at a given Takeout Price the principal amount of the Agency Security described therein. 

(b) Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser with respect to each Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Pool, in each case to the
extent subject to a Participation Certificate, as of the relevant Purchase Date and Cut-off Date as follows; provided to the extent that the Cut-off Date is a date
following the Purchase Date and any facts or circumstances which did not exist on the Purchase Date shall occur subsequent to the Purchase Date that would render any such representation and warranty materially false if made as of the Cut-off Date, Seller shall have no liability for a breach of such representation and warranty made as of such Cut-off Date: 

(i) Agency Eligibility. Each such Mortgage Loan is an Agency Eligible Mortgage Loan. 

(ii) Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Loan Schedule contains a complete listing and schedule of such Mortgage Loans,
and the information contained on such Mortgage Loan Schedule is accurate and complete in all material respects. 

  
 -37- 













 (iii) Agency Representations. As to both such Mortgage Pool and each
such Mortgage Loan, all of the representations and warranties made or deemed made respecting same contained in (or incorporated by reference therein) the relevant Agency Guide provisions and Agency Program (collectively, the “Standard Agency
Mortgage Loan Representations”) are (and shall be as of all relevant dates) true and correct in all material respects; and except as may be expressly and previously disclosed to Purchaser, Seller has not negotiated with the Agency any
exceptions or modifications to such Standard Agency Mortgage Loan Representations. 
 (iv) Aggregate Principal
Balance. The Cut-off Date Principal Balance respecting such Mortgage Pool shall be at least equal to the Agency Security Face Amount for the Agency Security designated to be issued. 

(c) In the event any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 10(b) are materially breached or determined by
either party not to be accurate in any material respect (each a “Breach”), if such Breach can be cured by action of Seller, Seller may attempt to cure such Breach. If such Breach is not cured within five (5) Business Days of
the occurrence of such Breach, Purchaser at its sole election shall be entitled by notice to Seller to immediately require Seller (i) to purchase the Mortgage Loans which are subject to such Breach (the “Deficient Mortgage
Loans”); and (ii) if such Breach relates to any of the representations made pursuant to Section 10(b) and the aggregate principal balance of the Deficient Mortgage Loans, when deducted from the
Cut-off Date Principal Balance, would result in a remaining Mortgage Pool principal balance insufficient to support the issuance of an Agency Security to satisfy the Takeout Commitments taken as a whole, to
purchase the Deficient Mortgage Loans and, if further elected by Purchaser, to take and accept reassignment to Seller of all of the related Takeout Commitments, in both (i) and (ii) above at the Repurchase Price for the Deficient Mortgage
Loans. 
 At the time of repurchase, the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deficient Mortgage Loan to the
Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian relating to the Deficient Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that
such repurchase has taken place and amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deficient Mortgage Loan from this Agreement. 

In addition to such repurchase the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, including, without limitation, legal fees and related costs, judgment, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a Breach of the Seller
representations and warranties contained in Section 10(b) or enforcement of this provision hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 9 to
cure or repurchase a Deficient Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Section 9 constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a Breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.


  
 -38- 













 The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive transfer of the
Participation Certificates to Purchaser and shall continue for so long as the Participation Certificates are subject to this Agreement. Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising out of the Breach of any of the representations and
warranties made in this Section 9 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such Breach by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to cure such
Breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

Outstanding Principal Balance, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser for any and all losses sustained by Purchaser arising out of the related Takeout Commitment. 

(xxix) MERS. Seller will remain a member of MERS in good standing. Seller has listed Purchaser in “interim
funder” field on the MERS System with respect to each Mortgage Loan and no other Person shall be identified in the field designated “interim funder”. 

Section 11. Term. 

(a) This Agreement shall continue in effect until the earliest of (i) August 14, 2017, and (ii) at Purchaser’s option, upon
the occurrence of a Servicing Termination Event; provided, however, that no termination will affect the obligations hereunder as to any Transaction then outstanding. A Transaction shall be deemed “outstanding” (each, an
“Outstanding Transaction”) during the period commencing on the effective date of such Transaction and continuing until the later of (i) the date of the expiration (or early termination) of the relevant Interim Servicing Period
and (as applicable) the effective transfer of Servicing Rights to a Designated Servicer or (ii) the expiration of the time period for the exercise of Purchaser’s rights and remedies pursuant to subclause (v) of the definition of
“Transaction”. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Seller’s liability for Purchaser’s claims for damages hereunder and liability for Seller’s indemnities, representations and warranties
contained herein shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Servicing Termination Event
or an Event of Default (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement), Purchaser may terminate this Agreement. 
 Section 12.
Exclusive Benefit of Parties; Assignment. 
 This Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns and (except as provided in the next sentence) shall not be deemed to give any legal or equitable right to any other person. Seller expressly agrees that Purchaser (or any of its permitted assigns) and any
Designated Servicer shall be intended third party beneficiaries under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement may not be assigned by Seller or duties hereunder delegated without the prior written consent of Purchaser.
This Agreement may not be assigned by Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller, unless (i) such assignment is to an Affiliate of Purchaser, or (ii) a Potential Servicing Termination Event or a Service Termination Event has
occurred and is continuing.

 Section 13. Amendment; Waivers. 

This Agreement may be amended from time to time only by written agreement of Seller and Purchaser. Any forbearance, failure, or delay by
Purchaser in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise by Purchaser of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof. Every
right, power and remedy of Purchaser shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived by Purchaser in writing. 

Section 14. Effect of Invalidity of Provisions.

 Section 18. Confidentiality. 

(a) Confidential Terms. The parties hereto 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 Program Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any Person without the
prior written consent of such other party except to the extent that (i) such Person is an Affiliate, Subsidiary, division or parent holding company of a party or a director, officer, employee or agent (including an accountant, legal counsel and
other advisor) of a party or such Affiliate, division or parent holding company, provided such recipients are advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Terms, (ii) in such party’s opinion, it is necessary to do so in working
with legal counsel or auditors (provided such recipients are advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Terms), taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or in order to comply with any applicable federal or state laws or regulations, (iii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant,
(iv) in the event of a Potential Servicing Termination Event or a Servicing Termination Event, Purchaser reasonably determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Mortgage
Loans and Participation Certificates or otherwise to enforce or exercise Purchaser’s rights hereunder, (v) to the extent Purchaser deems 

  
 -50- 













 
it necessary or appropriate to disclose it to Custodian or in connection with an assignment or participation under Section 12 or in connection with any hedging
transaction related to Mortgage Loans, provided such recipients are advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Terms, or (vi) Seller may make disclosures related to this Agreement and the other Program Documents as required by the
SEC or any federal or state securities laws and Seller may make disclosures related to this Agreement and the other Program Documents to describe to its creditors the facilities provided under the Program Documents so long as pricing information
(including the Discount Rate and the Program Fee), fees and financial covenant terms related to the Program Documents are given without linking or relating them to Purchaser and in a range which describes such terms for all of Seller’s
warehouse facilities generally. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. federal,
state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact that may be relevant to understanding the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating
to such U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment, and the parties hereto may disclose information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to league table providers,
that serve the financing industry; provided that Seller may not disclose (except as provided in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of this Section 18(a)) the name of or identifying
information with respect to Purchaser or any pricing terms (including the Discount Rate, Program Fee or other fee) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the U.S.
federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Confidential Terms as provided in this Section 18(a) shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality
of such Confidential Terms as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The provisions set forth in this Section 18(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year
following such termination. 
 (b) Privacy of Customer Information. 

(i) Seller’s Customer Information in the possession of Purchaser, other than information independently obtained by
Purchaser and not derived in any manner from or using information obtained under or in connection with this Agreement, is and shall remain confidential and proprietary information of Seller. Except in accordance with this Section18(b),
Purchaser shall not use any Seller’s Customer Information for any purpose, including the marketing of products or services to, or the solicitation of business from, customers, or disclose any Seller’s Customer Information to any Person,
including any of Purchaser’s employees, agents or contractors or any third party not affiliated with Purchaser. Purchaser may use or disclose Seller’s Customer Information only to the extent necessary (1) for examination and audit of
Purchaser’s activities, books and records by Purchaser’s regulatory authorities, (2) to protect or exercise Purchaser’s rights and privileges or (3) to carry out Purchaser’s express obligations under this Agreement and
the other Program Documents (including providing Seller’s Customer Information to Takeout Buyers), and for no other purpose; provided that Purchaser may also use and disclose Seller’s Customer Information as expressly permitted by
Seller in writing, to the extent that 

  
 -51- 













 
such express permission is in accordance with the Privacy Requirements. Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that each Person to which Purchaser intends to disclose
Seller’s Customer Information, before any such disclosure of information, agrees to keep confidential any such Seller’s Customer Information and to use or disclose such Seller’s Customer Information only to the extent necessary to
protect or exercise Purchaser’s rights and privileges, or to carry out Purchaser’s express obligations, under this Agreement and the other Program Documents (including providing Seller’s Customer Information to Takeout Buyers).
Purchaser agrees to maintain an information security program and to assess, manage and control risks relating to the security and confidentiality of Seller’s Customer Information pursuant to such program in the same manner as Purchaser does in
respect of its own customers’ information, and shall implement the standards relating to such risks in the manner set forth in the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Company Customer Information set forth in 12 CFR
Parts 30, 168, 170, 208, 211, 225, 263, 308 and 364. Without limiting the scope of the foregoing sentence, Purchaser shall use at least the same physical and other security measures to protect all of Seller’s Customer Information in its
possession or control as it uses for its own customers’ confidential and proprietary information. 
 (ii) Seller shall
indemnify Purchaser’s Affiliates and Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any losses, liabilities,
damages, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of Seller’s loss, improper disclosure or misuse of any Seller’s
Customer Information not caused by Purchaser’s sole or concurrent gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 19.
Acknowledgments. 
 Seller hereby acknowledges that: 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Program Documents; 

(b) Seller has no fiduciary relationship to Purchaser, and the relationship between Seller and Purchaser is solely that of seller and
purchaser; and 
 (c) no joint venture exists between Seller and Purchaser. 

Section 20. Authorizations. Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 1
are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement. 

Section 21. Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of
Purchaser hereunder and by law, Purchaser shall have the right, without prior notice to the Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the
Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and provided that a Servicing Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, to set-off and appropriate and apply against such
amount any and all deposits (general 

  
 -52- 













 
or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other 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 Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Seller. Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Seller after any such set off and application made by
Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

[FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER] 

(date) 
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, National
Association 
 383 Madison Avenue, 31st Floor 

New York, New York 10179 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as [Assistant] General Counsel to
[             ] (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by the Company of designated pools of fully amortizing first lien residential
Mortgage Loans pursuant to that certain Mortgage Loan Participation Sale Agreement by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Purchaser”), dated as of August 15, 2016, (the
“Participation Agreement”) which sale is in the form of a 100% participation interest in each pool of Mortgage Loan as evidenced by a Participation Certificate issued thereunder, being executed contemporaneously with a Custodial
Agreement (the “Custodial Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Purchaser and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the “Custodian”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in
the Participation Agreement. 
 [We] [I] have examined the following documents: 

 

	 	(1)	 the Participation Agreement; 



 

	 	(2)	 the Participation Certificate(s); 



 

	 	(3)	 the form of assignment of Mortgage; 



 

	 	(4)	 the form of endorsement of the Mortgage Notes; 



 

	 	(5)	 the Custodial Agreement; and 



 

	 	(6)	 such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.



 To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties
of the Company contained in the Participation Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to [us] [me] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the
originals of all documents. 

  
 D-1 













 Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that: 

 

	 	(1)	 The Company is a [federally chartered stock savings and loan association] duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the [United States] and is qualified to transact business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of the state of _________________. 



 

	 	(2)	 The Company has the power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement and all
requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Participation Agreement, the Participation Certificate(s) and the Custodial Agreement, and to perform and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments.



  

	 	(3)	 Each of the Participation Agreement, the Participation Certificate(s) and the Custodial Agreement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a legal, valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its respective terms against the Company, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application affecting
rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with
the certificateholder’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans. The Mortgage Loans are not subject to any security interest, claim, pledge, hypothecation or lien. 



 

	 	(4)	 The Company has been duly authorized to allow any of its officers to execute any and all documents by original
signature in order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Participation Certificate(s) [and by original [or facsimile] signature in order to execute the endorsements to the Mortgage
Notes and the assignments of Mortgages, and the original [or facsimile] signature of the officer at the Company executing the endorsements to the Mortgage Notes and the assignments of Mortgages represents the legal and valid signature of said
officer of the Company]. 


  

	 	(5)	 Either (i) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is
required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of or compliance by the Company with the Participation Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the Participation Certificates, or the sale of the Mortgage Loans as evidenced by the
Participation Certificates or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement; or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization or order has been obtained by the Company. To the extent that the
Participation Certificates may be deemed “securities” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the offer and sale of the Participation Certificates by the Company to the Purchaser is exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(5) of such Act, subject to the Purchaser’s representation that it will purchase such Participation Certificates for its own account. 



  
 D-2 














	 	(6)	 Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, nor the fulfillment of the terms of, the
Participation Agreement, the Participation Certificates or the Custodial Agreement conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a Potential Servicing Termination Event under the charter
or by-laws of the Company, the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or violates any statute or order, rule,
regulations, writ, injunction or decree of any court, Governmental Authority or regulatory body to which the Company is subject or by which it is bound. 


  

	 	(7)	 There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge,
threatened against the Company which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or in any
material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Company or which would draw into question the validity of the Participation Agreement,
the Participation Certificates, the Custodial Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Company to
perform under the terms of the Participation Agreement, the Participation Certificates, or the Custodial Agreement. 


  

	 	(8)	 The sale of each Mortgage Note and Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by the Participation Agreement is
sufficient fully to transfer to each certificateholder all right, title and interest of the Company thereto as noteholder and mortgagee. 


  

	 	(9)	 The Mortgages have been duly assigned and the Mortgage Notes have been duly endorsed as provided in the
Custodial Agreement. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the name of the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where each
related Mortgaged Property is located. The endorsement of the Mortgage Notes, the delivery to the Custodian of the Assignments of Mortgage, and the delivery of the original endorsed Mortgage Notes to the Custodian are sufficient to permit the holder
of a Participation Certificate to avail itself of all protection available under applicable law against the claims of any present or future creditors of the Company, and are sufficient to prevent any other sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or
hypothecation of the Mortgages and the Mortgage Notes by the Company from being enforceable.
