EXHIBIT A to Schedule

GUARANTEE OF LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.

LEHMAN BROTHERS SPECIAL FINANCING INC.
(Party A) and ACCREDITED HOME LENDERS, INC. (Party B) have entered into a Master Agreement dated as of May 10, 2005 (the Master Agreement), pursuant to which Party A and Party B have entered and/or
anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a Transaction), the Confirmation of each of which supplements, forms part of, and will be read and construed as one with, the Master Agreement (collectively referred to as the
Agreement). This Guarantee is a Credit Support Document as contemplated in the Agreement. For value received, and in consideration of the financial accommodation accorded to Party A by Party B under the Agreement, LEHMAN BROTHERS
HOLDINGS INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (Guarantor), hereby agrees to the following:

(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to Party B the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by Party A under each Transaction when and as Party As obligations thereunder shall become due and
payable in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. In case of the failure of Party A to pay punctually any such amounts, Guarantor hereby agrees, upon written demand by Party B, to pay or cause to be paid any such amounts punctually when and as
the same shall become due and payable.

(b) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee constitute a guarantee of
payment when due and not of collection.

(c) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Agreement against Party A (other than as a result of the unenforceability thereof against Party B), the absence of any action to enforce Party As obligations under the
Agreement, any waiver or consent by Party B with respect to any provisions thereof, the entry by Party A and Party B into additional Transactions under the Agreement or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a guarantor (excluding the defense of payment or statute of limitations, neither of which is waived) provided, however, that Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any right that Party A could have exercised under the
Agreement to cure any default in respect of its obligations under the Agreement or to setoff, counterclaim or withhold payment in respect of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default in respect of Party B or any Affiliate, but only to the
extent such right is provided to Party A under the Agreement. The Guarantor acknowledges that Party A and Party B may from time to time enter into one or more Transactions pursuant to the Agreement and agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor
under this Guarantee will upon the execution of any such Transaction by Party A and Party B extend to all such Transactions without the taking of further action by the Guarantor.

(d) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until such time as Party B shall receive written notice of termination. Termination of this
Guarantee shall not affect Guarantors liability hereunder as to obligations incurred or arising out of Transactions entered into prior to the termination hereof.

(e) Guarantor further agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligation or interest thereon is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored by Party B upon an Event of Default as set forth in Section 5(a)(vii) of the Master Agreement affecting Party A or Guarantor.

(f) Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, order and, except as set forth in paragraph (a) hereof, notice of any kind in connection with the Agreement and
this Guarantee, or (ii) any requirement that Party B exhaust any right to take any action against Party A or any other person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding to exercise any right against Guarantor under this Guarantee.

| |  |  |  | ------
| |  |  |  | [Date]

[Other Counterparty]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to [counterparty], a
[] corporation (Party [A][B]), and am familiar with matters pertaining to the execution and delivery of the
Master Agreement (the Master Agreement) dated as of [date] between Accredited Home Lenders, Inc. (Party B) and Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (Party A).

In connection with this opinion, I have examined, or have had examined on my behalf, an executed copy of the Master Agreement, certificates and
statements of public officials and officers of Party B and such other agreements, instruments, documents and records as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

Based on the foregoing but subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations hereinafter expressed, I am of the opinion that:



| | 1. | Party B is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
[].
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | The execution, delivery and performance of the Master Agreement, by or on behalf of Party B, are within its corporate power, have been duly authorized by all corporate action and do
not conflict with any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws.

execution, delivery and performance of the Master Agreement by Party [A][B].
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The foregoing opinions are subject to the
following assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations:

A. My opinion in paragraph 3 above is subject to (i) the effect of
any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent or other similar transfers),
(ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (iii) the equitable discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, (iv) the
application of judicial decisions involving statutes or principles of equity which have held that certain covenants and other provisions of agreements, including those providing for the acceleration of obligations upon the occurrence of events
therein described, are unenforceable in circumstances where it can be demonstrated that the enforcement of such provisions is not reasonably necessary for the protection of the party invoking the right to accelerate, (v) such requirements of
good

faith, fair dealing and commercial reasonableness as may be imposed by the law of the State of New York on the exercise by a party of its contractual rights
and remedies, (vi) possible judicial application of foreign laws or foreign government actions affecting creditors rights, and (v) the validity, binding effect or enforceability, under certain circumstances, of contractual provisions
with respect to indemnification or waiving defenses to obligations where such indemnification or such waivers are against public policy.

B. I am qualified to practice law in [] and render no opinion on the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of
[].

C. My opinions are limited to the present laws and to
the facts as they presently exist. I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the present laws of the jurisdictions referred to in paragraph B above be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

D. This letter is rendered to you in connection with the Master Agreement [and the Guarantee] and the transactions related thereto and may
not be relied upon by any other person or by you in any other context or for any other purpose. This letter may not be quoted in whole or in part, nor may copies thereof be furnished or delivered to any other person, without the prior written
consent of Party B, except that you may furnish copies hereof (i) to your independent auditors and attorneys, (ii) to any state or local authority having jurisdiction over you or over Party [A][B], (iii) pursuant to the order of any
legal process of any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental agency, and (iv) in connection with any legal action arising out of the Master Agreement.

E. I have assumed with your permission (i) the genuineness of all signatures by each party other than Party B, (ii) the authenticity of documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to authentic
original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies, and (iii) the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Master Agreement by each party other than Party B.

F. I have also assumed for the purpose of this opinion that the Master Agreement constitute the legal valid and binding obligation of Party [A][B] in
accordance with New York law by which is governed.

G. I express no opinion as to the prohibition on transfers in Section 7(a) of the
Master Agreement Terms in any case in which its operation would conflict with Section 9-406 or Section 9-408 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.

Very truly yours,
