company (the “Seller”), UNITED SHORE REPO TRUST 1, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust Subsidiary” and together with Seller, each a “Seller Party” and collectively, the “Seller
Parties”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a banking association organized under the laws of the United States (the “Buyer”). 

Section 1. Applicability. From time to time the parties hereto may, with respect to the Uncommitted Amount, and shall, with
respect to the Committed Amount, enter into transactions in which Seller agrees to transfer to Buyer the Purchased Asset on a servicing released basis against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to transfer to
Seller such Purchased Asset on a servicing released basis at a date certain not later than the Termination Date. Seller owns the Trust Certificate representing 100% of the Trust Interests in Trust Subsidiary. On the initial Purchase Date, Buyer will
purchase the Trust Certificate from Seller in connection with the Transaction on such date. After the initial Purchase Date, as part of separate Transactions from time to time Seller may request and Buyer may fund, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, a Purchase Price Increase. Each such transaction involving the transfer of the Purchased Asset or additional Underlying Mortgage Loans to the Trust Subsidiary resulting in an increase or decrease in the value of the
Purchased Asset shall be referred to herein as a “Transaction” and shall be governed by this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in writing. This Agreement with respect to the Uncommitted Amount is not a commitment by Buyer to enter into

obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement. 
 In order to further secure the

Transactions hereunder and as a condition precedent to Buyer entering into the Transactions hereunder, Guarantor shall deliver a guaranty and pledge to Buyer. 

This Agreement refers to Trust Interests representing direct beneficial interests in Underlying Mortgage Loans. The parties understand that
Underlying Mortgage Loans are owned by the Trust Subsidiary and that the Trust Interests represent the ownership interest in the Underlying Mortgage Loans. Accordingly, to the extent that this Agreement refers to beneficial interests in Underlying
Mortgage Loans owned by Trust Subsidiary or any other property owned by a separate legal entity, such references shall be construed as referring to such Underlying Mortgage Loans owned by Trust Subsidiary or other such property owned by such
separate legal entity.

Custodial Agreement and subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the Purchase Price will then be made available to Seller by Buyer transferring, via wire transfer, in the aggregate amount of such Purchase Price in funds immediately
available. 
 (vii) With respect to any eMortgage Loan, Seller Parties shall deliver to Custodian each of Buyer’s and
Guarantor’s MERS Org IDs, and shall cause (i) the Authoritative Copy of the related eNote to be delivered to the eVault via a secure electronic file, (ii) the Controller status of the related eNote to be transferred to Buyer, (iii)
the Location status of the related eNote to be transferred to Custodian, (iv) the Delegatee status of the related eNote to be transferred to Custodian, in each case using MERS eDelivery and the MERS eRegistry and (v) the Servicing Agent
status of the related eNote to be transferred to Servicer (collectively, the “eNote Delivery Requirements”). 
 (d)
Repurchase. 
 (i) Unless an Event of Default or Margin Deficit has occurred and is continuing, or will result
therefrom, Seller may cause the sale or other transfer of one or more Underlying Mortgage Loans from Trust Subsidiary without penalty, fee or premium on any date (an “Optional Repurchase”). The Repurchase Price payable for such sale
or transfer of any such Underlying Mortgage Loan shall be reduced as provided in Section 5(e) hereof. If Seller intends to make such a sale or transfer, Seller shall give at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice in the
form of Exhibit D attached hereto to Buyer, designating the Underlying Mortgage Loans to be sold or transferred. If such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, and, on
receipt, such amount shall be applied to the Repurchase Price for the designated Underlying Mortgage Loans. Immediately following receipt of the Repurchase Price by Buyer, the related Underlying Mortgage Loan shall cease to be subject to this
Agreement and the other Facility Documents, and Buyer shall be deemed to have released all of its interests in such Underlying Mortgage Loan without further action by any Person. 

(ii) On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by reassignment to Seller or its designee of the
Purchased Asset (or release by Buyer of its interest in the Underlying Mortgage Loans) (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 Underlying
Mortgage Loan (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset except as otherwise provided herein). Seller Parties are obligated to obtain the Mortgage Files from
Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date. With respect to any eMortgage Loan, upon receipt of the related Repurchase Price Buyer shall initiate a Transfer of Location of the eNotes and Delegatee status with respect
thereto as may be directed by Seller Parties. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in any other Facility Document, all transfers (and each such transfer) from Buyer to a Seller Party or any designee of a Seller Party of Mortgage Notes
(including without limitation all 
  

  
 32 













 transfers of the Control and/or the Location of any eNote on the MERS eRegistry that result
in the transfer the Control of any eNote from Buyer to a Seller Party or to any other Person) are and shall be without recourse for the obligations of the Mortgagor and without (i) any of the liabilities of an endorser under UCC § 3-414, by analogy or otherwise, and (ii) any of the transfer warranties of UCC § 3-417 or other warranty, express or implied. 

Section 4. Margin Amount Maintenance. 

(a) Buyer shall determine the Asset Value of the Underlying Mortgage Loans at such intervals as determined by Buyer in its sole good faith
discretion (which may be performed on a daily basis, at the Buyer’s discretion). 
 (b) If at any time the Aggregate Asset Value of all
related Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”) by an amount that is equal to or greater than the Margin Threshold,
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 so that the Aggregate Asset Value of the Underlying Mortgage Loans,
including any such cash, will thereupon equal or exceed the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Transactions. If Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer
cash to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) that day. In the event Buyer delivers a Margin Call to a Seller after 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the subsequent Business Day. 
 (c) Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make a Margin Call at any
time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists. 

(d) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(b) 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 Asset for all purposes
except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accreted value of the Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) plus the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit on each Payment
Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Seller fails to make all or part of the Price Differential by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Payment Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the foregoing payment is
received in full by Buyer. If prior to any Payment Date, Buyer determines in its sole discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the LIBOR
Rate is no longer in existence, or the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no 

  
 33 













 
longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer may give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such period, and for all subsequent
periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”),
together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. Any such determination of the Successor Rate shall be made by Buyer in a manner substantially consistent with market practice with respect
to similarly situated counterparties with substantially similar assets in similar facilities; provided that the foregoing standard shall only apply to repurchase transactions that are under the supervision of Buyer’s investment bank New York
mortgage finance business that administers the Transactions. 
 (b) Each Seller Party shall, and shall cause the applicable 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 such Seller Party or Servicer, as applicable, with respect to the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans. Each
Seller Party shall cause Servicer to deposit such Income in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 18(c) hereof. All such 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 Parties, and shall not be commingled with other property of any Seller Party, any Affiliate of any Seller Party or the applicable Servicer. Funds deposited in the Collection
Account during any month shall be held therein, in trust for Buyer, until the next Payment Date. In accordance with Buyer authorization, on each Payment Date the Buyer shall withdraw any funds on deposit in the Collection Account and apply such
funds as follows: 
 (i) first, to the Trustee all trustee fees, expenses and indemnities to the extent permitted in the
Trust Agreement; provided that any amounts remitted in the aggregate in any one year shall not exceed the Trustee Fee Cap; 

(ii) second, to the payment of all costs and fees payable by Seller pursuant to this Agreement; 

(iii) third, to Buyer in payment of any accrued and unpaid Price Differential; 

(iv) fourth, without limiting the rights of Buyer under Section 4 of this Agreement, to Buyer, in the amount of any unpaid
Margin Deficit; 
 (v) fifth, to the Trustee all fees, expenses and indemnities to the extent permitted under the Trust
Agreement in excess of amounts remitted pursuant to clause first above; and 
 (vi) sixth, to the Seller. 

  
 34 













 (c) To the extent that Buyer receives any funds from a
Take-out Investor with respect to the purchase by such Take-out Investor of an Underlying Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall promptly apply such funds in accordance with the
same order of priority set forth in Section 5(b) hereof. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has
occurred, all funds in the Collection Account shall be withdrawn and applied, subject to funds owed to the Trustee (as limited by the Trustee Fee Cap) being paid to the Trustee, as determined by Buyer. 

(e) Buyer shall offset against the Repurchase Price of each such Transaction all Income and Price Differential actually received by Buyer
pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, excluding any amounts paid at the Post-Default Rate pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof. 

Section 6. Requirements of Law. 

(a) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) 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; 
 (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 (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) 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. 

  
 35 













 (c) If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it
shall promptly notify Seller in writing 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. 
 (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time Buyer determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that any change in any Requirement or Law or change in the MERS eRegistry, or that the occurrence of any event or circumstance, has or would have the effect of imposing or increasing the risk to Buyer of making or
maintaining any Transaction with respect to eMortgage Loans hereunder (or of maintaining its obligations with respect to any such Transaction) (any such determination, an “eRisk Determination”), then Buyer shall give notice thereof
to Seller Parties by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter, and (i) Buyer and Seller Parties shall endeavor to establish alternative terms and conditions applying to such Transactions hereunder to address such changes
and/or eliminate or reduce such risk in a manner satisfactory to Buyer (as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion), and enter into such amendments or other modifications of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents and Buyer deem
appropriate, and (ii) until Buyer notifies Seller Parties that the circumstances giving rise to such eRisk Determination no longer exist or Buyer has received the amendments or modifications referred to in clause (i) above, then for
purposes of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents no eMortgage Loan shall be Eligible Mortgage Loans hereunder. 
 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 (including any agent, assignee,
successor or participant thereof), (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). 

  
 36 













 (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 Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction 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 asserted. If Buyer reasonably determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it
has received a refund of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7(c), Buyer shall remit the amount of such refund (without interest and less any
reasonable expenses incurred by or taxes or other costs imposed on Buyer) within a reasonable time after actual receipt thereof. In the event such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant Governmental Authority, Seller shall repay such refund
to Buyer with interest and shall pay any reasonable expenses and costs associated therewith. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes
demand therefor. 
 (d) Within thirty (30) days 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 Internal Revenue 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: 
 (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 

  
 37 













 (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 E (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 

(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. 

  
 38 













 Buyer provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) and the form provided by Buyer at the
time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicate 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 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. 
 (h) 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 the Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Asset and Repurchase Assets and the Purchased Asset and Repurchase
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. 

  
 39 













 Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. 
 (a) Security Interest. 

(i) On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the Purchased Asset (including
all Underlying Mortgage Loans) and the Repurchase Assets. 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 hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Asset
(including all Underlying Mortgage Loans), the Underlying Mortgage Loans, the Loan Records, the Servicing Records, and all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans, the Facility Documents (to the extent such
Facility Documents and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans), any Property relating to the Purchased Asset, any Underlying Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, any Take-out Commitments relating to any Underlying Mortgage Loan, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Underlying Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to
any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, any Income relating to the Purchased Asset and any Underlying Mortgage Loan, the Collection Account, the Wet Funding Account, any Hedge Agreements relating to the
Purchased Asset and any Underlying Mortgage Loan, 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 and proceeds to the extent that the foregoing relates to the Purchased Asset and any Underlying Mortgage Loan and any other assets relating to the Purchased Asset and any Underlying Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, any other
accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Asset and the Underlying Mortgage Loans, and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Mortgage Loan Schedule and Exception
Report with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Seller Repurchase Assets”). 

(ii) In order to further secure the Obligations hereunder, Trust Subsidiary, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby
pledges to Buyer as security for the performance of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Trust Subsidiary’s rights, title and interest in the Subsidiary Owned Assets, the Loan
Records, the Servicing Records, and all Servicing Rights related to the Subsidiary Owned Assets, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Trust Subsidiary’s right thereunder relate to the Subsidiary Owned Assets), any
Property relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, any Take-out Commitments relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any
Subsidiary Owned Asset or the 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 Subsidiary Owned Asset, the Collection Account, the
Wet Funding Account, any Hedge Agreements relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset, and any other contract rights, accounts 

  
 40 













 (including any interest of Trust Subsidiary in escrow accounts) and any other payments,
rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles and all proceeds to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Subsidiary Owned Asset and any other assets relating to any Subsidiary Owned Asset
(including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Subsidiary Owned Assets, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests as are
specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Mortgage Loan Schedule and Exception Report with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the
“Trust Subsidiary Assets” and, together with the Seller Repurchase Assets, the “Repurchase Assets” and collectively with the Guarantor Pledged Assets, the “Combined Repurchase Assets”). 

(iii) To the extent that any of the Seller Parties subsequently conveys, sells and/or distributes in kind any Subsidiary Owned
Asset to any of the other Seller Parties, each acknowledges that such conveyance, sale and/or distribution in kind of Subsidiary Owned Assets is subject to the Lien of Buyer created hereby and on the applicable Purchase Date. 

(iv) The parties acknowledge and agree that each Seller Party, as applicable, (A) is acquiring the Subsidiary Owned Assets
and Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to and subordinate to Buyer’s security interest, (B) is granting a Lien to Buyer as partial consideration for the acquisition of such Subsidiary Owned Assets and Underlying Mortgage Loans from another
of the Seller Parties hereto or in consideration of the proceeds of the Transaction from the Buyer and (C) hereby grants, assigns and pledges all rights and interests to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations hereunder. 

(v) Each Seller Party acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Underlying Mortgage Loan but only has rights as a party
to the current Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that any Seller Party is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, such Seller Party 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. 

(vi) The grants of security interests set forth in this Section 8(a), including, without limitation,
the security interests granted by Trust Subsidiary with respect to the Subsidiary Owned Assets and by the Seller Parties with respect to the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto, are 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. 

  
 41 













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

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Each Seller Party 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 such Seller
Party and in the name of such Seller Party or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, 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, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller Party hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of such Seller Party,
without assent by, but with notice to, such Seller Party, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following: 

(i) in the name of such Seller Party, 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; 

(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; (B) 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; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Repurchase Assets; (D) 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; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against
such Seller Party with respect to any Repurchase Assets; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem
appropriate; and (G) 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 such Seller Party might do. 

  
 42 













 Each Seller Party hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do and cause to be
done pursuant to the terms hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition the foregoing, (x) Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto and (y) Trust Subsidiary agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, each to be delivered on the date hereof. 

Each Seller Party 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 16 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Combined Repurchase Assets. 

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Combined 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 any Seller Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

(c) Trust Certificate as a Security. The parties (i) acknowledge and agree that the Trust Certificate shall constitute and remain
a “security” as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (ii) covenant and agree that such Trust Certificate is not and will not be dealt in or traded on securities
exchanges or securities markets. Seller covenants and agrees that such Trust Certificate is not and will not be an investment company security within the meaning of Section 8-103 of the Uniform Commercial
Code. Each Seller Party shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, take all steps as may be necessary in connection with the indorsement, transfer, delivery and pledge of the Trust Certificate to Buyer.

Purchased Asset or otherwise in respect thereof, such Seller Party shall accept the same as the Buyer’s agent, hold the same in trust for the Buyer and deliver the same forthwith to the Buyer in the exact form received, re-registered in the name of the Buyer, to be held by the Buyer subject to the terms hereof as additional security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Purchased Asset upon the liquidation or
dissolution of the Trust Subsidiary shall be paid over to the Buyer as additional security for the Obligations. If following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in
respect of such Purchased Asset shall be received by any Seller Party, such Seller Party shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Buyer, hold such money or property in trust for the Buyer segregated from other funds of such
Seller Party as additional security for the Obligations. 
 (e) Voting Rights. Subject to this Section 8(e), Buyer as the holder
thereof shall exercise all voting rights with respect to the Purchased Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Buyer shall notify and consult with Seller
prior to the exercise of any rights under this Section 8(e) and (ii) Seller shall have the right to direct Buyer to take one or more actions or to not take one or more actions (in the event any action is requested or
required to be taken) and 

  
 43 













 
the Buyer shall comply with such direction unless the Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion that such compliance with such direction could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect or conflict with any Facility Document; provided, however, Buyer may in its sole discretion following an Event of Default (x) remove a Servicer with respect to the Purchased Assets or terminate a Servicing Agreement with
respect to the Purchased Assets in connection with a Servicer Termination Event or (y) consent to a waiver of a material breach or consent to a material modification of a Servicing Agreement. In no event shall any vote be cast or member right
exercised or other action taken which would impair the Combined Repurchase Assets or the Purchased Asset, as applicable, or which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation to (a) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit the Trust Subsidiary to issue any interests of any nature or to issue any other interests convertible into or granting the right to
purchase or exchange for any interests of such entity, (b) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to the Purchased Asset, (c) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor
of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, the Seller’s or Trust Subsidiary’s interest in the Repurchase Assets except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement, or (d) except as provided in this Agreement, enter into any

Wet Funding Account or (y) in the case of any other Transaction, to an account specified by Seller and confirmed by an Authorized Individual (defined below), in each case simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of the Purchased Asset (and/or
Underlying Mortgage Loans shall be transferred to Trust Subsidiary) relating to each Transaction; provided that to the extent funds are disbursed to the Disbursement Agent and a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan is
not funded, such funds shall be refunded to Buyer on the same Business Day. “Authorized Individuals” of Seller are listed on Schedule 3 hereto, as such schedule may be supplemented and revised from time to time and provided to Buyer in

result in any property remaining with such Seller Party to be unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond such Seller Party’s ability to pay as same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in

Section 15. Reserved.Remedies. (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.

even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of any Seller Party or Guarantor), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur. Buyer
shall (except upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of any Seller Party or Guarantor) give written notice to Seller Parties of exercise of such option as promptly as practicable. 

(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 the Purchased Asset (including all Underlying Mortgage Loans),
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

determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section (decreased as of any day by (i) any amounts actually in the possession of Buyer pursuant to clause (C) of this subsection, and (ii) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased Asset
and Underlying Mortgage Loans applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection (a)(iv) of this Section; and 
 (C) all
Income actually received by Buyer pursuant to Section 5 (excluding any Late Payment Fees paid pursuant to Section 5(a)) shall be applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price owed by Seller. 

(iii) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all
files of each Seller Party relating to the Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans and the Combined Repurchase Assets (to the extent that they remain subject to Transactions hereunder) and all documents relating to the Purchased Asset and
Underlying Mortgage Loans which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of any Seller Party or any third party acting for any Seller Party and such Seller Party shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall
be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of each Seller Party contained in Facility Documents. 
 (iv) At any
time on the Business Day following notice to Seller Parties (which notice may be the notice given under subsection (a)(i) of this Section), in the event Seller has not repurchased the Purchased Asset (including all Underlying Mortgage Loans), Buyer
may (A) immediately sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans and the Combined
Repurchase Assets subject to such Transactions hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a
portion of such Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans and Combined Repurchase Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans and the Combined Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the
Underlying Mortgage Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. The proceeds of any disposition of the Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loans and the Combined Repurchase Assets shall be
applied as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. 

  
 66 













 (v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all
reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default,
(ii) actual damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of
Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense actually incurred and directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction. 

(vi) Buyer shall have the right to exercise the Unwind Rights pursuant to the terms of the Facility Documents. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to collapse the Trust Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and acquire a direct interest in the Underlying Mortgage Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, in
connection with exercising its rights under subsection (a)(i) of this Section, Buyer will provide written notice of the termination of the Trust Agreement (if terminated) and the extinguishment of all rights of Seller with respect to all of the
Purchased Assets, as contemplated by the Trust Agreement. 
 (vii) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any
rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law. 
 (b) Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available
hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without written notice unless otherwise expressly set forth herein to any Seller Party. 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 each Seller Party hereby expressly waives any defenses such Seller Party might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Seller Party
also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) such Seller Party might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Combined Repurchase Assets, or from any
other election of remedies. Each Seller Party 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) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the
date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller to Buyer under this Section
16(d) shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate. 

  
 67 













 (e) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable
rights available to Buyer for any Seller Party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, each Seller Party acknowledges and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder may be inadequate and
Buyer shall be entitled to seek 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. 
 Section 18. 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, reasonable costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Indemnified Party by a third 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs asserted by a third party with respect to the
Purchased Asset and/or all Underlying Mortgage Loans relating to or arising out of any taxes incurred or assessed in connection with the ownership of the Purchased Asset and/or the Underlying Mortgage Loans, 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 the Purchased Asset and/or any Underlying Mortgage Loan for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of the Purchased Asset and/or any Underlying Mortgage Loan, Seller will pay such Indemnified Party for all actual expenses, losses or damages 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 actual 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
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or
modification to, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses 

  
 68 













 incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the reasonable 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 Buyer
all the reasonable out of pocket due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Underlying Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller to Buyer to be subject to a Transaction under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, those out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 17(b) and 20 hereof. 
 (c) The
obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller. 

Section 19. Servicing. 

(a) Each Seller Party shall, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with one (1) or more Servicers to service the Underlying Mortgage
Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Underlying Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each 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 hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any
Underlying Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder. Buyer may terminate the servicing of any Underlying Mortgage Loan with the then existing servicer in accordance with Section 18(e) hereof. 

(b) Each Seller Party shall cause the related Servicer to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by such Servicer with respect to
any Underlying Mortgage Loans in trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected. 
 (c) Each
Seller Party shall cause the related Servicer to deposit all collections received by such Servicer on account of the Underlying Mortgage Loans in the Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt. 

(d) Each Seller Party shall provide promptly to Buyer (i) a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related
Underlying Mortgage Loans, advising such Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by such Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Underlying Mortgage Loans and such Servicer’s
agreement that upon receipt of notice of a Servicer Termination Event from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Underlying Mortgage Loans and any related Income with respect thereto. 

(e) Upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default hereunder or a Servicer Termination Event, Buyer shall have the right to immediately
terminate upon written notice the related Servicer’s right to service the Underlying Mortgage Loans without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Each Seller Party shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Underlying Mortgage
Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of a Servicer’s rights to service by the Buyer as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the
Buyer’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement. 

  
 69 













 (f) If any Seller Party should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity
responsible to such Seller Party by contract for managing or servicing any such Underlying Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully such Seller Party’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with
respect to the Underlying Mortgage Loans and such failure has not been promptly remedied, such Seller Party shall promptly notify Buyer. 

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, no Seller Party retains economic rights to the servicing of the Underlying Mortgage Loans. As such, each Seller
Party expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Asset (including all related Underlying Mortgage Loans) is sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis. 

Section 20. Recording of Communications. Buyer and each Seller Party 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. Buyer and each Seller Party consent to the
admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration, or other proceedings. The parties agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties’
agreement. 
 Section 21. Due Diligence. Each Seller Party acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due
diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Asset and the Underlying Mortgage Loans and each Seller Party, Guarantor and each Servicer, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder,
or otherwise, and each Seller Party agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior written notice to such Seller Party 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 Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to the Purchased Asset and such Underlying Mortgage
Loans (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the possession or under the control of such Seller Party and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, such Seller Party shall create and deliver to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days
of such request, in electronic form, in a format agreed upon by Buyer and Seller Parties, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request. Each Seller Party also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for
the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset, the Mortgage Files and the Underlying Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller Party acknowledges that Buyer may (with respect to the Uncommitted
Amount) and shall (with respect to the Committed Amount) enter into transactions with Seller Parties in respect of the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans based solely upon the information provided by Seller Parties to Buyer in the
Mortgage Loan 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 Purchased Assets and the
Underlying Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction, including, without limitation (but not in the ordinary course of business) (x) ordering broker’s price 

  
 70 













 opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and (y) otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Underlying Mortgage Loans provided that the actions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) shall be undertaken by Buyer with Seller’s consent, not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided however that Seller’s consent shall not be required following the occurrence of an Event of Default. Buyer may underwrite such Underlying Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third
party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Each Seller Party 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 Underlying Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of such Seller Party. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 20 (“Due
Diligence Costs”) in an amount not to exceed the Due Diligence Cap per calendar year; provided that the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. 

Section 22. Assignability. 

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by any Seller Party 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 from time to time assign all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights
and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each 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, each Seller Party 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
such Seller Party. 
 (b) Buyer may sell participations to one (1) or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement; 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) each Seller Party 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.


  
 71 













 (c) Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation pursuant to this Section 21, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to any Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the
Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of such Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall, as the case may be, hold any such information in
confidence per a standard non-disclosure agreement to be entered into between Buyer and such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant. 

(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 23. Transfer and Maintenance of Register. 

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 22, 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 22 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 22(b) hereof. 
 (b) Seller shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record
Buyer’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation communicated by Buyer to Seller. 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. 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 Parties, or maintain as agent of Seller Parties, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller Parties to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller Parties to comply with its
obligations under this Agreement or under any applicable Requirement of Law. 
 Section 24. 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 Asset and that the Purchased Asset is 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 25. 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 any Seller Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Seller Party to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and
appropriate and apply against any obligation from any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof 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, 

  
 72 













 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 any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller Parties 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 or Default has occurred. 

Section 26. 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 17 hereof shall survive
the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 27. 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 designated by such party in
a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Section 3 hereof (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given
when transmitted by telecopy or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective
“Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in
writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person. 
 Section 28. Entire Agreement; Severability; Single Agreement. 

(a) This Agreement, together with the Facility Documents, constitute the entire understanding between Buyer and each Seller Party with respect
to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions involving the Purchased Asset and Underlying Mortgage Loans. By acceptance of this
Agreement, Buyer and each Seller Party acknowledge that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as
separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. 

  
 73 













 (b) Buyer and each Seller Party 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 each has been entered into in consideration of the other
Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and each Seller Party agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it
in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) 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 transfers
in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted and (iii) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off
or application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. 

Section 29. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO
THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 
 Section 30. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. BUYER AND EACH SELLER PARTY EACH
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY: 
 (a) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF; 
 (b) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE
BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT
AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME; 
 (c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY
MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH UNDER ITS SIGNATURE BELOW OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH BUYER SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; 

  
 74 













 (d) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND 
 (e) BUYER AND EACH SELLER PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY 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 31. 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 writing. 
 Section 32. Reserved. 

Section 33. Confidentiality. 

(a) Buyer and each Seller Party hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any
other in connection with the terms set forth in any of the Facility Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any party without the prior
written consent of such other party except to the extent that i) it is necessary to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any applicable
federal or state laws, including any disclosures or filing required by the Securities Exchange Commission or state securities laws, (ii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant,
(iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Buyer determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Assets or otherwise to enforce or exercise
Buyer’s rights hereunder, (iv) disclosure by Buyer is in connection with its rights under Section 10 and Section 21 hereof; provided that such assignee or participant or proposed assignee
or participant shall, as the case may be, hold any such disclosure in confidence per a standard non-disclosure agreement to be entered into between Buyer and such assignee or participant or proposed assignee
or participant, (v) it is necessary to disclose to its Affiliates and its and their employees, directors, officers, advisors (including legal counsel, accountants, and auditors), representatives and servicers, (vi) it is requested or
required by governmental agencies, regulatory bodies or other legal, governmental or regulatory process, in which case each party shall provide prior written notice to the other party to the extent not prohibited by the applicable law or regulation.
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 of the
Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, 

  
 75 













 state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that no Seller Party may disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any
pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any concentration limits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the
federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer. The provisions set forth in this
Section 32 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each
Seller Party shall cause the Guarantor to comply and Buyer shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased
Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Each Seller Party understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined
in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and each Seller Party agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable
federal and state privacy laws. Each Seller Party shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the
“customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are 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

Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 12 C.F.R. Parts 30, 208, 211, 225, 263, 308, 364, 568 and 570. Upon request, each Seller Party will provide
evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that such Seller Party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section. Without limitation, this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other
equivalent evaluations of each Seller Party, subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof. Each shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal
information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to such Seller Party by Buyer or such Affiliate. Each Seller Party shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by email with confirmation of
receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual. 
 Section 34. 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 Combined Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other 

  
 76 













 arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this 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. Each Seller Party 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 Purchased Asset, Underlying
Mortgage Loans and Combined 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 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be
considered a “margin payment” as such term is 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). 

(d) Reserved. 
 (e) Each party
agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, this Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and
capacity. 
 (f) 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. 
 (g) With respect to the security interest granted in
Section 8 hereof, as stated therein and affirmed by Seller here, 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(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code, and is further intended to be a guaranty of the Seller’s Obligations to the Buyer. 

Section 35. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections. The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that: 

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act

 (b) in the case of
Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any
Transaction hereunder; and 

  
 77 













 (c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution,
funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable. 

Section 36. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, any other Facility Document and any
Confirmation, the documents shall control in the following order of priority: first, the terms of the Confirmation shall prevail, then the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and then the terms of the Facility Documents shall prevail.

 SCHEDULE 1-A 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS 

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Underlying Mortgage Loan, that as of the Purchase Date for any Underlying
Mortgage Loan and at all times while the related Underlying Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder the following are true and correct. For purposes of this Schedule 1-A and the
representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to an Underlying Mortgage Loan if and when any Seller Party has taken or caused to be taken action such that
the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Underlying Mortgage Loan. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of any Seller Party’s knowledge, if it
is discovered by any Seller Party or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding such Seller Party’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) Underlying Mortgage Loans as Described. The
information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects; 
 (b) Payments
Current. All payments required to be made up to the close of business on the closing date for such Underlying Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Underlying Mortgage Loan
is delinquent nor has any payment under the Underlying Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Underlying
Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note; 
 (c) No
Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, governmental assessments, municipal charges, insurance premiums, leasehold payments,
including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property. No Seller Party has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than
the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Underlying Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Underlying Mortgage Loan proceeds,
whichever is later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest; 
 (d)
Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, (i) recorded in the applicable public recording office if
necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, (ii) which have been delivered to the related Custodian, and (iii) if such instrument modifies an eNote, such modification is reflected on the MERS eRegistry and 

  
 Sch. 1-A-1 













 the eNote and related Underlying Mortgage Loan documents remain valid, effective and enforceable (first
lien) and in compliance with all applicable eCommerce Laws and Agency Guidelines; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the PMI Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent
required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related final Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with
an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the PMI Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the
related final Mortgage Loan Schedule; 
 (e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense
of usury and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at,
or subsequent to, the time the Underlying Mortgage Loan was originated; 
 (f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by
a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by any Seller Party as of the date of origination
consistent with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the
replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any
co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the applicable Underwriting
Guidelines. 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 Underlying 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 1974. All such insurance policies
(collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Guarantor, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Underlying Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be
reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by any Seller Party. All 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, 

  
 Sch. 1-A-2 













 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. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and
binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. No Seller Party has engaged in, and no Seller Party has 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 any Seller Party; 

(g) Compliance with Applicable Law. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws and unfair and deceptive practices laws
applicable to the Underlying Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and each Seller Party shall maintain or shall cause its
agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements; 

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the
Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release. No Seller Party has waived
the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Underlying Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has any Seller Party waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by
the Mortgagor; 
 (i) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected (a) with respect to each
first lien Underlying Mortgage Loan, first priority lien and first priority security interest, on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: 

(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 the public record as of the date of
recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in Buyer’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Underlying Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in
the appraisal (or with respect to Agency Mortgage Loans, such other valuation permitted under the definition of Appraised Value) made for the originator of the Underlying Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of
the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal (or such other valuation, as applicable); and 

  
 Sch. 1-A-3 













 (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do
not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. 

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Underlying Mortgage Loan
establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Guarantor has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of
the date of origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage; 

(j) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or
guarantor, if applicable, in connection with an Underlying Mortgage Loan are genuine and original or in the case of an eNote, the copy of the eNote transmitted to Buyer’s eVault is the Authoritative Copy and the tamper-seal on the eNote matches
the tamper-seal stored on the MERS eRegistry, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had
legal capacity to enter into the Underlying Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly
executed by such related parties. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to an Underlying Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including,
without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such
inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally
sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed; 
 (k) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Underlying Mortgage
Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Underlying Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements
as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Underlying Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; 

  
 Sch. 1-A-4 













 (l) Ownership. Trust Subsidiary is the sole owner of record and holder of the
Underlying Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the transfer of the Underlying Mortgage Loans to Buyer, Guarantor will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the
Custodian, Buyer or Buyer’s designee, in trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Underlying Mortgage Loan. The Underlying Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Trust Subsidiary has good,
indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to pledge the Underlying Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and
authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to pledge each Underlying Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the pledge of each Underlying Mortgage Loan, Buyer will have a security
interest in such Underlying Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; 

(m) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Underlying Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or
otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and
(ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not
doing business in such state; 
 (n) Title Insurance. The Underlying Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association
lender’s title insurance policy, or with respect to any Underlying Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a California Land Title Association lender’s title insurance policy or other generally
acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Guarantor, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable in the original principal amount of the Underlying Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides
for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c), and in the case of adjustable rate Underlying Mortgage Loans, against any
loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. 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. Guarantor, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, 

  
 Sch. 1-A-5 













 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 Guarantor, 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 any Seller Party; 

(o) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the
Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither any Seller Party nor any of
its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration; 

(p) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material
(and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage; 

(q) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related
Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged
Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation; 
 (r) Origination. The Underlying Mortgage Loan was originated
by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal payments on the Underlying Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the
Underlying Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as the lifetime rate cap and the periodic cap are as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which
installments of interest, with respect to adjustable rate Underlying Mortgage Loans, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears,
sufficient to amortize the Underlying Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty (30) years from commencement of amortization. The Due Date of the first payment under the Mortgage Note is no more
than sixty (60) days from the date of the Mortgage Note. The Underlying Mortgage Loan was acquired by Trust Subsidiary pursuant to the Trust Agreement. 

  
 Sch. 1-A-6 













 (s) Payment Provisions. Principal payments on the Underlying Mortgage Loan commenced
no more than sixty days after the proceeds of the Underlying Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Underlying Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Underlying Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the
first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a fixed rate Underlying Mortgage Loan, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage
Interest Rate, and, in the case of an adjustable rate Underlying Mortgage Loan, are changed on each adjustment date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest
at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. There are no convertible Underlying Mortgage Loans which contain a provision allowing the Mortgagor to convert the Mortgage Note from an adjustable
interest rate Mortgage Note to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Note;
