in writing by Seller no more than two (2) Business Days after the date such Confirmation was posted on the Warehouse Electronic System or unless a corrected Confirmation is posted by Buyer; provided that Buyer’s failure to post a
Confirmation shall not affect the obligations of Seller under any Transaction. An objection sent by Seller must state specifically that such writing which is an objection, must specify the provision(s) being objected to by Seller, must set forth
such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes they should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more than two (2) Business Days after the Confirmation was posted on the Warehouse Electronic System. 

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

(d) Issuance of Agency Securities. Upon the written approval of Buyer and subject to (x) Seller’s prompt delivery to the
applicable Agency any and all documents necessary to enable such Agency to make Delivery to Buyer or its designee of an Agency Security backed by the related Purchased Mortgage Loans and (y) receipt of the applicable Trade Assignment, Seller
may cause Purchased Mortgage Loans to be pooled for the purpose of backing an Agency Security. At such time as an Agency Security backed by a pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans is 

  
 25 













 
delivered to Buyer by the applicable Agency, (a) such Agency Security shall immediately and with no further action on the part of Buyer, Seller or Custodian become subject to a Transaction
hereunder and (b) the pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans backing such Agency Security shall immediately and with no further action on the part of Buyer, Seller or Custodian no longer be subject to a Transaction hereunder and Buyer shall have been
deemed to release any ownership and/or security interest it has in such pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans. 
 (e) Repurchase; Purchase by
an Approved Investor. 
 (i) Seller may repurchase Purchased Assets without penalty or premium on any date by remitting
to Buyer the applicable Repurchase Price pursuant to the Buyer’s Wiring Instructions. 
 (ii) Any repurchase of
Purchased Assets may occur simultaneously with a sale of the Purchased Asset to an Approved Investor subject to the following procedures: 

(A) Seller shall instruct the Approved Investor to remit directly to Buyer pursuant to Buyer’s Wiring Instructions no
later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day the Takeout Price in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset. 

(B) Simultaneously, Seller shall deliver to Buyer electronically the related Purchase Advice. The Takeout Price received by
Buyer must equal the amount set forth on the Purchase Advice. 
 (C) The Takeout Price shall be applied to reduce the
Repurchase Price in respect of the Purchased Assets listed on the Purchase Advice. In the event the Takeout Price is less than the Repurchase Price, the Buyer shall withdraw funds from the Operating Account and Warehouse Accounts such that no
deficiency exists. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of such withdrawal to Seller; provided that failure to provide such notice shall not affect Buyer’s right to make such withdrawal. For the avoidance of doubt,
Buyer shall not release its interests in any Purchased Asset until such time as it receives the Repurchase Price in full. 

(D) In the event Buyer receives the Takeout Price on or prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) and either (x) no Purchase
Advice is received or (y) the Takeout Price does not match the amount on the Purchase Advice (a “Purchase Advice Deficiency”), then Buyer shall retain the Takeout Price and the related Purchased Assets shall not be released and
the Transactions shall continue to accrue Price Differential under the Repurchase Agreement until the Purchase Advice Deficiency is remedied. In the event the Takeout Price matches the amount set forth in the Purchase Advice but are in excess of the
Repurchase Price (such amount, the “Excess Proceeds”) provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, Buyer shall remit such Excess Proceeds to the Operating Account or as otherwise agreed to by Buyer and Seller. 

  
 26 













 (E) In no event shall Buyer be liable to Seller, any Approved Investor or
any other Person in connection with the procedures set forth herein. 
 (iii) On the Repurchase Date, termination of the
Transaction will be effected by reassignment to Seller or its designee of the Purchased Assets against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price as described in this Section 3(e). Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to
any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset. 
 SECTION 4. MARGIN AMOUNT MAINTENANCE 

(a) Buyer shall determine the Market Value of each Purchased Asset at such intervals as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. 

(b) If at any time the Asset Value of any Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction is less than the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset (a
“Margin Deficit”), 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 in the amount of the
Margin Deficit. 
 (c) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) may be given by any written or electronic means. Any notice given
before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day; notice given after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day
shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day. 
 (d) The
failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree
that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller. 

(e) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(b) above shall be held as unsegregated cash margin and collateral for all
Obligations under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 5. COLLECTIONS; INCOME PAYMENTS 

(a) On each Business Day that a Transaction is outstanding, the Pricing Rate shall be reset and, unless otherwise agreed, the accrued and
unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date. To the extent a Purchased Asset is subject to a Transaction for a period in excess of forty-five (45) calendar days, at Buyer’s sole option, Price
Differential shall be settled in cash on such date and thereafter as more frequently requested by Buyer. 

  
 27 













 (b) Upon request of Buyer, Seller shall establish and maintain a segregated time or demand
deposit account for the benefit of Buyer (the “Custodial Account”) with Buyer, UBS AG Stamford Branch or an Insured Depository Institution acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion and shall deposit into the Custodial Account,
within two (2) Business Days of receipt, all Income received with respect to each Mortgage Loan sold hereunder. Seller shall cause all Income received with respect to the Purchased Assets by any Servicer to be remitted directly to the Custodial
Account. Under no circumstances shall Seller deposit any of its own funds into the Custodial Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to Buyer as owner of any Mortgage Loans. Seller shall name the Custodial Account
“United Shore Financial Services, LLC in trust for the benefit of UBS Bank USA.” 
 (c) All Income received with respect to a
Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder, whether or not deposited in the Custodial Account, shall be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer as the owner of such Mortgage Loan. 

(d) Following an Event of Default, Seller shall remit to Buyer funds in the Custodial Account as required by Buyer. Such remittances shall be
by wire transfer in accordance with wire transfer instructions previously given to Seller by Buyer. 
 (e) Seller authorizes Buyer to
withdraw any Income otherwise due Buyer hereunder from any of the Warehouse Accounts and the Operating Account. 
 (f) Seller shall not
change the identity or location of the Custodial Account. Seller shall from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute such directions to Buyer, and other papers, documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Buyer. 

(g) If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of each deposit in the Custodial Account, and each withdrawal from the Custodial
Account, made by it with respect to Mortgage Loans owned by Buyer and serviced by Seller. Seller shall also promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to the Custodial Account as Buyer may from
time to time request. 
 (h) The amount required to be paid or remitted by Seller to Buyer, not made when due shall bear interest from the
due date until the remittance, transfer or payment is made, payable by Seller, at the lesser of the Post-Default Rate or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. If there is no maximum rate of interest specified by applicable law, interest on
such sums shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate. 
 SECTION 6. REQUIREMENT OF LAW 

(a) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other
organizational or governing documents) including those regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or application of any Requirement of Law 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 or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer; 

  
 28 













 (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; 

(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, or shall have the effect of reducing Buyer’s rate of return 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 on an after-tax basis. 

(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. 
 (c) If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6, it shall promptly notify
Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled prior to such event, or as promptly thereafter, as reasonably practicable. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6 submitted by Buyer to
Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 SECTION 7. TAXES. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Seller Party under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Documents to which any
Seller Party 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, duties, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings (including
backup 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 any Person 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 Program Documents to Buyer (including, for purposes of Section 6 and this Section 7, any agent, assignee, successor or participant), (i) Seller Party shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes,


  
 29 













 
(ii) Seller Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any Requirement
of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller Party has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts
payable under this Section 7) such 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 a Buyer, (i) Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by
the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of such Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its
obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Program Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes), and (ii) Taxes imposed as a
result of its failure to comply with the requirements of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (as in effect on the date hereof) and any U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“ FATCA”). 

(b) In addition, each Seller Party hereby agrees to timely pay or, at the Buyer’s option, timely reimburse it for payment of, any present
or future stamp, court, recording, documentary, excise, filing, intangible, 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 Program Document or
from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, any performance, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Program Document (collectively, “Other
Taxes”). 
 (c) Each Seller Party hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer (including its Beneficial Tax Owners) 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 under this Section 7 imposed on, paid,
deducted or withheld by such Buyer (or any Beneficial Tax Owners thereof) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes or
liabilities delivered to the Seller Party by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The indemnity by each Seller Party provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the
Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes or any other liabilities for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by a Seller Party under the indemnity set forth
in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental agency, organization or enforcement body with the due authorization
to make any such judgment or determination, adjudges or determines that any amount which at any time provided the basis for Buyer to seek indemnification from any Seller Party pursuant to the terms of this Section 7(c) and to the extent such
amount was previously paid by either Seller Party, to have been incorrectly assessed against Buyer, Buyer shall promptly remit any and all amounts so determined to have been incorrectly assessed. 

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller Party (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller
Party) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof. 

  
 30 













 (e) For purposes of this Section 7(e), the terms “United States” and
“United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not organized 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.,” “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
disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by a person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN with Part II completed
in which such Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or 
 (ii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is an individual, (x) for non-United States persons, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Tax Compliance Certificate”) or (y) for United States persons, 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 and that is not a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by a person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); 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 Tax Compliance 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 Tax Compliance Certificate, and (y) in the case of a
non-withholding foreign partnership or trust, 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 Tax Owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such Beneficial Tax Owner if such Beneficial Tax
Owner were Buyer; or 

  
 31 













 (vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt
Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and/or this clause (vi) of this Section 7(e) with respect to its Beneficial Tax Owner if such
Beneficial Tax 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 of 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 Tax Compliance 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 required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi),
and/or this clause (vii) with respect to each such person if each such person were Buyer; and 
 (viii) if a payment
made to a Buyer under this Agreement or any other Program Documents would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained
in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for a Seller Party to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to
deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (viii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

If a Buyer provides a form pursuant to Section 7(e)(i)(x) and the form provided by the Buyer at the time such Buyer first becomes a party
to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate under the tax treaty 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 such 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, the Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to
the extent that the Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the 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 a Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 7(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in any 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), such Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional


  
 32 













 
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 such
Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist such Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes. 
 (g)
Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Seller Party hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each Seller Party contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Program
Documents. Nothing contained in Section 6 or this Section 7 shall require Buyer to complete, execute or make available any of its Tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary, or whose completion,
execution or submission would, in Buyer’s judgment, materially prejudice Buyer’s legal or commercial position. 
 SECTION 8. SECURITY INTEREST;
BUYER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT 
 (a)
Security Interest. On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the Purchased Assets identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Repurchase Assets related thereto. Although the
parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (other than as set forth in Section 20 for U.S. tax purposes), 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: 

(i) the Purchased Assets; 

(ii) the Records related to the Purchased Assets; 

(iii) the Program Documents (to the extent such Program Documents and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased
Assets); 
 (iv) any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property; 

(v) any Takeout Commitments relating to any Purchased Assets; 

(vi) any Closing Protection Letter, escrow letter or settlement agreement relating to any Purchased Asset; 

(vii) any Servicing Rights relating to any Purchased Asset; 

(viii) all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property,
including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance; 
 (ix) any
Income relating to any Purchased Asset; 

  
 33 













 (x) the Custodial Account; 

(xi) the Warehouse Accounts; 

(xii) the Operating Account; 

(xiii) any Hedge Agreements relating to any Purchased Asset; 

(xiv) any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights
to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Asset; 

(xv) any other assets relating to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in
the Purchased Assets; 
 (xvi) accounts, chattel paper (including electronic chattel paper), goods (including inventory and
equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, investment property, general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software) in each case related to the Purchased Assets; 

together with all accessions and additions thereto, substitutions and replacements therefor, and all products and proceeds of the foregoing, in
all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”). 

(b) Servicing Rights. Seller acknowledges that it has sold the Purchased Assets to Buyer on a servicing released basis and it has no
rights to service the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a
security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other
arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(c) Financing Statements. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase
Assets and the Servicing Rights as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller shall pay the searching and filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared or searched pursuant to this Agreement. 

(d) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit E hereto (the
“Power of Attorney”), to be delivered on the date hereof. 

  
 34 













 SECTION 9. PAYMENT, TRANSFER; ACCOUNTS 

(a) Payments and Transfers of Funds. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder
shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to Buyer pursuant to the Wiring Instructions, on the date on which such payment shall become due. 

(b) Remittance of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to
Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price pursuant to Seller’s Wiring Instructions. With respect to the Purchased Assets being sold by Seller on a Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and
assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Purchased Assets together with all right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any
related Repurchase Assets. 
 (c) Warehouse Accounts. Buyer or the Buyer’s designee shall maintain for Seller an inbound account
and a margin account (the “Warehouse Accounts”). The Warehouse Accounts shall be in the form of non-interest bearing book-entry accounts. Buyer shall have exclusive withdrawal rights from the
Warehouse Accounts. All amounts on deposit in the Warehouse Accounts shall be held as cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Margin Call or other
Default exists, Buyer shall be entitled to use any or all of the amounts on deposit in any Warehouse Account to cure such circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to Buyer without prior notice to, or consent from, Seller.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that (i) amounts in the Warehouse Accounts are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, any governmental entity or otherwise and (ii) Buyer is not required to segregate
funds in the Warehouse Accounts from its own funds or from funds held for others. 
 (d) Operating Account. From time to time, Seller
may provide funds to Buyer for deposit to a non-interest bearing account (the “Operating Account”) in accordance with this Section 10. The Operating Account shall be a subaccount of an
interest-bearing savings account (the “Omnibus Account”) maintained by Buyer as agent for the benefit of Seller and other sellers of mortgage related assets with a bank determined by Buyer its sole discretion (the
“Depository”). The Buyer shall have non-exclusive withdrawal rights from the Operating Account. Seller acknowledges that Buyer acts as Seller’s agent for the limited purpose of placing
funds with the Depository, and that funds held by Buyer as Seller’s agent are not a deposit account or other liability of Buyer. Buyer shall maintain records of Seller’s interest in the funds maintained in the Omnibus Account. Withdraws
may be paid by wire transfer or any other means chosen by Buyer from time to time in its sole discretion. In addition, Seller hereby authorizes Buyer, in its sole discretion, to withdraw funds from the Operating Account and remit such funds to the
RESI Operating Account for any purpose permitted under and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the RESI Facility; provided that (i) there are sufficient funds in the Operating Account and a negative balance would not result therefrom and
(ii) no Default or Event or Default shall have occurred or result therefrom. 

  
 35 













 (e) Depository. Unless otherwise designated in writing by Buyer, the Depository shall
be UBS AG, Stamford Branch. Funds on deposit at the UBS AG, Stamford Branch are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any governmental agency of the United States, Switzerland or any
other jurisdiction. The Omnibus Account and Operating Account are obligations of the UBS AG, Stamford Branch only, and are not obligations of UBS AG generally or of any of its other affiliates. The payment of principal and interest on the Operating
Account at the UBS AG, Stamford Branch is subject to the creditworthiness of UBS AG. The Operating Account is not a deposit account or other liability of Buyer. In the unlikely event of the failure of the UBS AG, Stamford Branch, the Seller
acknowledges that it will be a general unsecured creditor of UBS AG. 
 (f) Buydown Amount. The Buydown Amount shall be held as
unsegregated cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Margin Call or other Default exists, the Buyer shall be entitled to use any or all of the Buydown
Amount and to withdraw such amount from the Operating Account in Buyer’s sole discretion to cure such circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to the Buyer without prior notice to, or consent from, Seller. Regardless of whether a
Margin Call or other Default exists, Buyer also may withdraw interest paid to the Operating Account in its discretion from time to time, and without prior notice to or consent from the Seller, as a full or partial
off-set to Seller’s obligation hereunder to pay the Price Differential. Within two (2) Business Days’ receipt of written request from Seller, and provided no Margin Call or other Default exists,
Buyer shall withdraw any portion of such Buydown Amount from the Operating Account and remit such amount back to Seller. 
 (g) Fees.
Seller shall pay in immediately available funds to Buyer all fees, including without limitation, the Warehouse Fees, as and when required hereunder. All such payments shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account designated by Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer may withdraw and retain from the Warehouse
Accounts and Operating Account any Warehouse Fees due and owing to Buyer. 
 SECTION 10. REPRESENTATIONS 

Each Seller Party, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the Purchase Date for any Purchased Assets, as of the
date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Program Documents are in full force and effect and/or any Transaction hereunder is outstanding: 

(a) Acting as Principal. Seller will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by
the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal). 
 (b) No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment
banker, agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement. 

  
 36

or instrument. Seller Party is not required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization from, or to file any declaration or statement with, any Governmental Authority in connection with or as a condition to the consummation of the Transactions

the Repurchase Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller (including any Servicer) and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such
assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in the Program Documents. 

(iv) At any time on the Business Day following notice to Seller (which notice need not be given if an Event of Default under
Section 12(h) shall have occurred with respect to any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof and may be the notice given under subsection (a)(i) of this Section 13), in the event Seller has not repurchased all Purchased Assets, Buyer may

Seller. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets shall be applied to Seller’s Obligations as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. 

  
 52 













 (v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) 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

any applicable Requirement of 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 while such Event of Default is continuing without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies which Buyer may have. 
 (c) Seller recognizes that the market for the Purchased Assets may not be liquid and as a
result it may not be possible for Buyer to sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the Seller agrees that
liquidation of any Purchased Asset may be conducted in a private sale. Seller acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Buyer than if such sale were a public sale, and notwithstanding
such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Seller further agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of any Purchased Asset by using
internet sites that provide for the auction or sale of assets similar to the Purchased Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. 

(d) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller Party hereby expressly
waives any defenses Seller Party might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller Party also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller Party might otherwise have arising from
the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller 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. 
 (e) To the extent permitted by any applicable
Requirement of Law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest (including post-petition 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 13(e) shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate. 

  
 53 













 (f) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable
rights available to Buyer for Seller Party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller Party acknowledges and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer
shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the
recovery of monetary damages. 
 SECTION 14. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES; RECOURSE 

(a) Each Seller Party agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an
“Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify, on an after-Tax basis, any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty
contained on Schedule 1), any other Program 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 Program
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, each Seller Party
agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party, on an after-Tax basis, against all Costs and Taxes incurred or assessed as a result of or otherwise in connection with
the holding of the Mortgage Loans or Agency Securities or any failure by any Seller Party or Subsidiary thereof to pay when due any Taxes for which such Person is liable, that result 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 this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan or Agency Security for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Mortgage
Loan or Agency Security, Seller Party will save, indemnify on an after-Tax basis and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set
off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller Party 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 Party. Seller Party also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees
and disbursements of its counsel. 

  
 54 













 (b) Seller Party agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the 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 Program Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller Party agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without
limitation search and filing fees and all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer. Seller Party 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 Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller for purchase under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 14(a) and 16 hereof. 

(c) The obligations of Seller Parties from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, the Obligations and all other
amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of each Seller Party. 
 SECTION 15. SERVICING 

(a) As a condition of purchasing a Mortgage Loan, Buyer may require Seller to service such Mortgage Loan as agent for Buyer for a term of
thirty (30) days (the “Servicing Term”). If the Servicing Term expires with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than such Purchased Mortgage Loan no longer being subject to a Transaction
hereunder, then upon written agreement of Buyer, Seller shall continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loan for an additional thirty (30) days. Each thirty (30) day extension period shall automatically expire without notice unless Buyer
agrees in writing to any additional thirty (30) day extension period(s). Seller shall service the Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking
industry and in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Agencies, Requirement of Law, the provisions of any applicable servicing agreement, and the requirements of any applicable Takeout Commitment and the Approved Investor, so that the
eligibility of the Mortgage Loan for purchase under such Takeout Commitment is not voided or reduced by such servicing and administration. 

(b) If any Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than Seller (a
“Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Mortgage Loan is to be transferred to a Subservicer, Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement and a Servicer Notice executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the
“Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer prior to such Purchase Date or servicing transfer date, as applicable. Each such Servicing Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall have obtained
the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Mortgage Loans, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion. In no event shall Seller’s use of a Subservicer relieve Seller of its obligations
hereunder, and Seller shall remain liable under this Agreement as if Seller were servicing such Mortgage Loans directly. 
 (c) Seller shall
transfer actual servicing of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, together with all of the related Records in its possession, to Buyer’s designee and designate Buyer’s designee as the servicer in the MERS System upon the earliest of (i) the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default hereunder, (ii) the termination of Seller as interim servicer by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) the expiration (and non-renewal) of the Servicing
Term, or 

  
 55 













 
(iv) transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity. Buyer shall have the right to terminate Seller as interim servicer of any of the Purchased
Mortgage Loans, which right shall be exercisable at any time in Buyer’s sole discretion, upon written notice. Seller’s transfer of the Records and servicing under this Section 15 shall be in accordance with customary standards in the
industry and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of all escrows held for the related mortgagors (without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”). 

(d) During the period Seller is servicing the Purchased Mortgage Loans as agent for Buyer, Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of the related
Credit Files and Records and Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard and cause the Subservicer to maintain and safeguard the Credit File for the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including photocopies or images of the documents delivered to Buyer),
and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller’s possession of the Credit Files and Records being for the sole purpose of servicing such Purchased Mortgage Loan and such retention and possession by
Seller being in a custodial capacity only. 
 (e) At Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the
status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being serviced by Seller, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than thirty (30) days or such other circumstances that could cause a
material adverse effect on such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s title to such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller may be required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased
Mortgage Loan by Seller. Seller shall immediately notify Buyer if it becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under the Purchased Mortgage Loan or any default under any Servicing Agreement that would materially and adversely affect any
Purchased Mortgage Loan subject thereto. 
 (f) Seller shall release its custody of the contents of any Credit File or Mortgage File only
(i) in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, (ii) upon the consent of Buyer when such release is required as incidental to Seller’s servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, is required to complete the Takeout Commitment
or comply with the Takeout Commitment requirements, or (iii) as required by any applicable Requirement of Law. 
 (g) Upon thirty
days’ written notice to Seller or at any time after a Default, Buyer may appoint a successor servicer at any time to service any Purchased Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”) in its sole discretion. If Buyer elects to
make such an appointment due to a Default or Event of Default, Seller shall be assessed all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer associated with transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to the Successor Servicer. In the event of
such an appointment, Seller shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Credit File and related Records held by Seller, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage
Loan, are promptly delivered to Successor Servicer, and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Buyer in effectuating such transfer. Seller shall have no claim for lost servicing income, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor
Servicer hereunder and the servicing fee is reduced or eliminated. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Buyer as a result of a Default or 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. 

  
 56 













 (h) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the
Purchased Mortgage Loans provided that Seller shall continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are sold to Buyer on a
“servicing released” basis. 
 SECTION 16. DUE DILIGENCE 

Each Seller Party acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller
Parties, Settlement Agents, Approved Investors and other parties which may be involved in or related to Transactions (collectively, “Third Party Transaction Parties”), from time to time, for purposes of verifying compliance with the
representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and the Seller Parties agree that upon reasonable prior notice to the Seller Parties, 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
such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the control of any Seller Party. The Seller Parties will use reasonable efforts to cause Third Party Transaction Parties to cooperate with any due diligence requests of Buyer. The Seller Parties shall
also make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that
Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller 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 Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on
the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party
underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any
and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Each Seller Party further agrees that it shall pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 16 subject to the Due Diligence Cap; provided
that, the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default. 

  
 57 













 SECTION 17. ASSIGNABILITY 

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. Buyer may from time to time, without the consent of Seller, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents to any party, including, without limitation, any
affiliate of Buyer, 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 Program 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 Program Documents. 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. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in
writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller. 
 Buyer may sell
participations to one 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) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Program Documents except as provided in Section 7. 
 Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 17, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the
Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. 

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 agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities. 

SECTION 18. TRANSFER AND MAINTENANCE OF REGISTER. 

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 18(b), 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 18 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 18(b)
hereof. 

  
 58 













 (b) Buyer shall maintain, on Seller’s behalf, a register (the
“Register”) on which it will record each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion
of such rights and obligations assigned. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. 

SECTION 19. HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS 

Title to all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets.
Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets to any Person, including
without limitation, the Federal Home Loan Bank. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller. 

SECTION 20. TAX TREATMENT 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Program Documents, each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is
its intent for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Assets as 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 any Requirement of Law (in which case such party shall promptly notify the other party of such Requirement
of Law). 
 SECTION 21. SET-OFF 

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 Property and 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 or cash, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof. Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Repurchase Assets and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or its Affiliates to a Seller Party or its Affiliates against all of Seller Party’s or its
Affiliate’s obligations to Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between a Seller Party or its Affiliate and Buyer and any Affiliate of Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such
obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify the 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. 

  
 59 













 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 22. 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. Notwithstanding any such termination or the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the representations and warranties and covenants hereunder shall continue and survive. The obligations of each Seller Party under
Section 14 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 23. 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 electronic transmission) delivered to the intended recipient at the addresses set

Section 3 (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted electronically or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given

 SECTION 24. USE OF THE
WAREHOUSE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND OTHER ELECTRONIC MEDIA 
 Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may require or permit certain
transactions with Buyer be conducted electronically using Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures. Seller consents to the use of Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures whenever expressly required or permitted by Buyer and
acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall be bound by its Electronic Signature and by the terms, conditions, requirements, information and/or instructions contained in any such Electronic Records. 

Seller agrees to adopt as its Electronic Signature its user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers, access codes, a
facsimile image of a written signature and/or other symbols or processes as provided or required by Buyer from time to time (as a group, any subgroup thereof or individually, hereinafter referred to as Seller’s Electronic Signature). Seller
acknowledges that Buyer will rely on any and all Electronic Records and on Seller’s Electronic Signature transmitted or submitted to Buyer. 

Buyer shall not be liable for the failure of either its or Seller’s internet service provider, or any other telecommunications company,
telephone company, satellite company or cable company to timely, properly and accurately transmit any Electronic Record or fax copy. 

Before engaging in Electronic Transactions with Seller, Buyer may provide Seller, or require Seller to create, user identification codes,
passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes, as applicable, to permit access to Buyer’s computer information processing system. Each Person permitted access to the Warehouse Electronic System must have a separate
identification code and password. Seller shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and access codes provided or required by Buyer. Seller shall adopt
and maintain security measures to prevent the loss, theft or unauthorized or improper disclosure or use of any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes by 

  
 61 













 Persons other than the individual Person who is authorized to use such information. Seller shall notify
Buyer immediately in the event (i) of any loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of any of the user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes or (ii) Seller has any reason to believe there
has been a breach of security or that its access to Warehouse Electronic System is no longer secure for any reason. 
 Seller understands
and agrees that it shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding its computer hardware and software from any and all (a) computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses” or other harmful computer
information, commands, codes or programs that may cause or facilitate the destruction, corruption, malfunction or appropriation of, or damage or change to, any of Seller’s or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including
without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes and (b) computer “worms,” “trap doors” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that enable
unauthorized access to Seller’s and/or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes. 

Seller agrees that Buyer may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, without limiting Seller’s liability set forth herein,
establish minimum security standards that Seller must, at a minimum, comply with in an effort to (x) protect and safeguard any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes from loss, theft or
unauthorized disclosure or use; and (y) prevent the infiltration and “infection” of Seller’s hardware and/or software by any and all computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses,”
“worms,” “trapdoors” or other harmful computer codes or programs. 
 If Buyer, from time to time, establishes minimum
security standards, Seller shall comply with such minimum security standards within the time period established by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to confirm Seller’s compliance with any such minimum security standards. Seller’s
compliance with such minimum security standards shall not relieve Seller from any of its liability set forth herein. 
 Whether or not Buyer
establishes minimum security standards, Seller shall continue to be fully responsible for adopting and maintaining security measures that are consistent with the risks associated with conducting electronic transactions with Buyer. Seller’s
failure to adopt and maintain appropriate security measures or to comply with any minimum security standards established by Buyer may result in, among other things, termination of Seller’s access to Buyer’s computer information processing
systems. 
 Each Seller Party understands and agrees that certain elements or components of the Warehouse Electronic System may be provided
by third party vendors, and hereby holds Buyer harmless from any liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Seller Party relating to or arising out of
Seller’s use of the Warehouse Electronic System including without limitation, the use of any elements or components provided by third party vendors.

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 Program Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,

Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing. 

  
 64 













 SECTION 29. NETTING 

If Buyer and Seller are “financial institutions” as now or hereinafter defined in Section 4402 of Title 12 of the United States
Code (“Section 4402”) and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (a) all amounts to be paid or advanced by one party to or on behalf of the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder
shall be deemed to be “payment obligations” and all amounts to be received by or on behalf of one party from the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be “payment entitlements” within the
meaning of Section 4402, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a “netting contract” as defined in Section 4402; (b) the payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any
Transaction hereunder shall be netted as follows. In the event that either party (the “Defaulting Party”) shall fail to honor any payment obligation under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder, the other party (the
“Nondefaulting Party”) shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any payment to be made by the Nondefaulting Party to the Defaulting Party by the amount of the payment obligation that the Defaulting Party failed to honor. 

SECTION 30. CONFIDENTIALITY 
 Buyer and
each Seller Party hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any other regarding the terms set forth in any of the Program Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the
“Confidential Terms”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any 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, (ii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of
this covenant or (iii) in the event of an Event of Default 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. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program
Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, 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 or Subsidiary
of Affiliate thereof may disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer, its Affiliates or any other Indemnified Party, or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Warehouse Fees and, Purchase Price)
or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits 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 30 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 65 













 SECTION 31. 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 Bankruptcy Code, as amended and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended and that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement
payments” as defined in Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and that the pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and
Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties 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) 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. It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with
Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 13 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended; 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 hereby agree that any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the
servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and part of the “contract” as such term is used in
Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (d) 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,” a “repurchase agreement” and a
“securities contract” as such terms are defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder. 
 (e) It is
understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment
obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both
of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). 

  
 66 













 (f) Each party intends that this Agreement constitutes and shall be construed and
interpreted as a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of and as such terms are used in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code and 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. 

SECTION 32. 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 of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder and (b) 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 33. CONFLICTS 

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement, any other Program 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 other Program Document shall prevail.

 SCHEDULE 1 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, that as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased
Mortgage Loans by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Program Documents and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect, that the following are true and correct.
For purposes of this Schedule 1 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 a Mortgage Loan if and when Seller 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 Mortgage Loan. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if
it is discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be
deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty. 
 (a) Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct. 
 (b) Payments Current. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is [***] or
more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been [***] or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan; and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan, no foreclosure
action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of Seller, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan. 

(c) Origination Date. The initial Purchase Date is no more than (i) with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Correspondent
Mortgage Loans in non-escrow states, [***] following the origination date of the Mortgage Note; (ii) with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Correspondent Mortgage Loans in escrow states, [***]
following the origination date of the Mortgage Note and (iii) with respect to Correspondent Mortgage Loans, [***] following the origination date of the Mortgage Note. 

(d) Approved Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan satisfies the Approved Underwriting Guidelines. 

(e) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments,
insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Seller has not 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 Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the
first installment of principal and interest. 

  
 Sch. 1-1 













 (f) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note (and the Proprietary
Lease, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Stock Power with respect to each Co-op Loan) and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except
by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as Buyer shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the issuer of the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as Buyer shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. 

(g) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan (and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease related to each
Co-op Loan) is 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 Mortgage Loan was originated. 

(h) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured
by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae guides or by Freddie Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Approved Underwriting
Guidelines. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which
policy conforms to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller and its successors and assigns as
mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid and such policies may not be reduced, terminated or cancelled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard
insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or
“blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the 

  
 Sch. 1-2 













 
common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect
and inure to the benefit of Buyer upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s or any servicer’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 such 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 or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 

(i) Compliance with Applicable Laws. 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, anti-predatory lending laws, laws covering fair housing, fair credit reporting, community
reinvestment, homeowners equity protection, equal credit opportunity, mortgage reform and disclosure laws or unfair and deceptive practices laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations. Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for Buyer’s inspection, and shall deliver to Buyer upon demand, evidence of compliance with all requirements
set forth herein. 
 (j) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, 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 affect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Seller has not
waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

 (k) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is a fee simple property located in the state identified in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule except that with respect to real property located in jurisdictions in which the use of leasehold estates for residential properties is a widely-accepted practice, the Mortgaged Property may be a leasehold estate and consists
of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual residential condominium or
Co-op Unit in a low-rise or high-rise condominium or Co-op Project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development and that
no residence or dwelling is (i) a mobile home or (ii) a manufactured home, provided, however, that any condominium or Co-op Unit or planned unit development shall not fall within any of the
“Ineligible Projects” of part VIII, Section 102 of the Fannie Mae Selling Guide and shall conform with the Approved Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgaged Property is not raw land. In the case of any Mortgaged Properties that are
manufactured homes (a “Manufactured Home Mortgage Loans”), (i) such Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan conforms with the applicable Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac requirements regarding mortgage loans related to manufactured dwellings,
(ii) the related manufactured dwelling is permanently affixed to the land, (iii) the related manufactured dwelling and the related land are subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the appropriate public recording office and naming Seller
as mortgagee, (iv) the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the related 

  
 Sch. 1-3 













 
Mortgaged Property is located will deem the manufactured dwelling located on such Mortgaged Property to be a part of the real property on which such dwelling is located, and (v) such
Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan is (x) a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (y) secured by manufactured housing treated as a single family residence under
Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes;
provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw
materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. 
 (l) Located in U.S. No
collateral (including, without limitation, the related real property and the dwellings thereon and otherwise) relating to such Mortgage Loan is located in any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or the District of Columbia. 

(m) Valid First Lien. Each Mortgage is a valid and subsisting first lien of record on a single parcel of real estate constituting the
Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements 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, subject in all cases to the exceptions to title set forth in the title insurance policy with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, which exceptions are generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending
companies, and such other exceptions to which similar properties are commonly subject and which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage. 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 the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) specifically referred to or
otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or 
 (b) which do not adversely affect
the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and 
 (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 Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of
the 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. 

  
 Sch. 1-4 













 (n) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other
agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, 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 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 other 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 a 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 or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in the application or any insurance in relation to such 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. 

(o) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and
there is no requirement for future advances 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 Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due
under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. All points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation. No Mortgagor was charged “points and
fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount that exceeds 3% of the total loan amount (or such other applicable limits for lower balance Mortgages) as specified under 12 CFR 1026.43(e)(3), and the points and fees were calculated using the
calculation required for qualified mortgages under 12 CFR 1026.32(b) to determine compliance with applicable requirements. 
 (p)
Ownership. Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Buyer, Seller 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 Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Seller has good,
indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the 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 sell and assign each Mortgage Loan (and with respect to any Co-op Loan, the sole owner of the related Assignment of
Proprietary Lease) pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. Seller
intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan. 

  
 Sch. 1-5 













 (q) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan,
whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) either (i) organized under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such state, or (iii) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a
principal office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such state. 
 (r) LTV, PMI Policy. No Conforming Mortgage Loan has
an LTV greater than [***]. The LTV of the Conforming Mortgage Loan either is not more than [***] or the excess over [***] of the Appraised Value is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy until the LTV of such Conforming Mortgage
Loan is reduced to [***]. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of
facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Conforming Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Conforming Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. The LTV of any HARP Mortgage Loan is no greater than [***] if such Mortgage Loan is
(i) a fixed-rate Mortgage Loan with a term in excess of 30 years, or (ii) an adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan with an initial fixed period greater than or equal to five years, unless otherwise approved by Buyer in its sole discretion. 

(s) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan
for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA 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 Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in
the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (m) of this Schedule 1, and in the case of adjustable rate 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. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and
effect upon the consummation of the 

  
 Sch. 1-6 













 
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be
received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 

(t) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, 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 Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration; and with respect to each
Co-op Loan, there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments (including
assessments payable in the future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and Seller has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance
charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor. 
 (u) 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. 
 (v) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the 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. 
 (w) Origination; Payment Terms. Except
with respect to a Correspondent Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan was originated by Seller. Seller is 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 other similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. 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 Mortgage Loan contains
terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after funds were disbursed in connection with the 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 Mortgage
Loans, are 

  
 Sch. 1-7 













 
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 Mortgage
Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of amortization. Unless otherwise specified, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each month. There are no 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. 

(x) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and 

(ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property
pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person,
or restriction on Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that
would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the ability of Seller, Buyer or
any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage. 
 (y) Conformance with Agency and Approved Underwriting
Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Approved Underwriting Guidelines (a copy of which has been delivered to Buyer). The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or FHA, as
applicable, and Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective quantitative
principles which relate the Mortgagor’s credit characteristics, income, assets and liabilities (as applicable to a particular underwriting program) to the proposed payment, and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the
Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability
to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan. 
 (z) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. 
 (aa) No
Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause
(j) above. 

  
 Sch. 1-8 













 (bb) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Buyer to the trustee under the
deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. 
 (cc) Acceptable Investment. There
are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the
Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan, or cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than
the mortgage loans originated by Seller generally. 
 (dd) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Custodian. Seller is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File, except for
such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian. 
 (ee) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project is (i) acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or (ii) located
in a condominium or planned unit development project which has received project approval from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The representations and warranties required by Fannie Mae with respect to such condominium or planned unit development have been
satisfied and remain true and correct. 
 (ff) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage
Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by Seller are not subject to
the bulk transfer or similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction. 
 (gg) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder, and to the best of Seller’s knowledge, such provision is enforceable. 

(hh) Assumability. No Mortgage Loan is assumable. 

(ii) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to
which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other
similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature. 

  
 Sch. 1-9 













 (jj) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor
prior to the Purchase Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and/or FHA, as applicable. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. 

(kk) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the
Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. 
 (ll) Collection Practices;
Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and
regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of,
Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All mortgage interest rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of
the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related interest rate adjustment date. If, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the mortgage interest rate, the same index was used with respect to each
Mortgage Note which required a new index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Seller executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the mortgage interest rate and the Monthly Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited. 

(mm) No Violation of Environmental Laws. The Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists
no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or


  
 Sch. 1-10 













 
regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all
requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property. 
 (nn)
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003. The Mortgagor has not notified Seller, and Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003. 

(oo) Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage
Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval
of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or FHA and Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated, or with respect to a HARP Mortgage Loan, a duly executed property inspection waiver, fieldwork waiver, or other such similar document as required by the applicable Agency.

 (pp) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure
materials required by, and Seller has complied with, all applicable law with respect to the making of the Mortgage Loans. Seller shall maintain such statement in the Mortgage File. 

(qq) Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. Unless otherwise approved by Buyer in writing, no Mortgage Loan was made in
connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property. 

(rr) Value of Mortgaged Property. Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances existing that could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the value or the marketability of any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan or to cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than similar mortgage loans held by Seller generally secured by properties in the
same geographic area as the related Mortgaged Property. 
 (ss) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. Seller has caused or will cause to
be performed any and all acts required to preserve the rights and remedies of Buyer in any insurance policies applicable to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers, assignments of policies or
interests therein, and establishments of coinsured, joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of Buyer. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the
Purchase Date (whether or not known to Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable, special hazard insurance policy, or applicable PMI Policy or
bankruptcy bond (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether


  
 Sch. 1-11 













 
arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the
appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such
insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial inability to pay. 
 (tt) Escrow Analysis. With
respect to each Mortgage, Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that,
assuming all required payments are timely made, any deficiency will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and any
other applicable law. 
 (uu) Prior Servicing. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects in strict compliance with
Accepted Servicing Practices. 
 (vv) Credit Information. As to each consumer report (as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act,

(ww) Leaseholds. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee
simple interest in the land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor’s consent and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of
the lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the terms of such lease do not (A) allow the termination thereof upon the lessee’s
default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default, (B) allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction as long as the Mortgage is in existence,

(xx) Prepayment Penalty. No Mortgage Loan is subject to a prepayment penalty such that an amount in excess of the unpaid principal
balance is due by the Mortgagor if Mortgagor prepays the Mortgage Loan prior to the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan. 

  
 Sch. 1-12 













 (yy) Predatory Lending Regulations; High Cost Loans. No Mortgage Loan (i) is
classified as High Cost Mortgage Loans; (ii) is subject to Section 226.32 of Regulation Z or any similar state law (relating to high interest rate credit/lending transactions) or (iii) is subject to any law, regulation or rule that

otherwise defines a mortgagee in a manner that would include a lender to a mortgagee. No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by Seller or the originator which is a higher cost product designed for less
creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by Seller or originator. If,
at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor qualified for a lower cost credit product then offered by Seller or the originator’s standard mortgage channel (if applicable), Seller or the originator directed the Mortgagor towards such standard
mortgage channel, or offered such lower-cost credit product to the Mortgagor. 
 (zz) Ohio Stated Income Exclusion. Each Mortgage Loan
with an origination date on or after January 1, 2007 which is secured by Mortgaged Property located in Ohio was originated pursuant to a program which requires verification of the borrower’s income in accordance with “Full and
Alternative Documentation ” programs as described within the Approved Underwriting Guidelines. 
 (aaa) Origination. No predatory
or deceptive lending practices, including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. 
 (bbb) Single-premium Credit or Life Insurance Policy. In connection with the origination of any
Mortgage Loan, no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase any single premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement as a condition
of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit insurance policy (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt cancellation agreement in connection with
the origination of the Mortgage Loan; No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies (e.g., life, mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product) or debt cancellation
agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan. 
 (ccc) Tax Service Contract; Flood
Certification Contract. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract and a paid in full, life of loan, flood certification contract and each of these contracts is assignable to Buyer. 

(ddd) Qualified Mortgage. Each Mortgage Loan satisfies the following criteria: (i) such Mortgage Loan is a Qualified Mortgage;
(ii) prior to the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the related originator made a reasonable and good faith determination that the related Mortgagor would have a reasonable ability to repay such Mortgage Loan according to its terms, in
accordance with, at a minimum, the eight underwriting factors set forth in 12 CFR 1026.43(c)(2); and (iii) such Mortgage Loan is supported by documentation that evidences compliance with the Ability to Repay Rule and the QM Rule. 

  
 Sch. 1-13 













 (eee) Ability to Repay Determination. There is no action, suit or proceeding
instituted by or against or threatened against Seller in any federal or state court or before any commission or other regulatory body (federal, state or local, foreign or domestic) that questions or challenges the compliance of any Mortgage Loan (or
