ACCREDITED HOME LENDERS, INC., a California corporation (the Company), as seller and servicer (in its capacity as seller hereunder, the Seller, and in its capacity as servicer hereunder, the
Servicer), andACCREDITED HOME LENDERS HOLDING CO.,a Delaware corporation, as guarantor (the Performance Guarantor) of the Servicers obligations hereunder.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to purchase from the Seller and the Seller has agreed to
sell to the Issuer from time to time Mortgage Loans constituting Eligible Loans until the termination of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement in accordance with Section 11.1 hereof. The Company wishes to service each
Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Issuer after the sale and purchase thereof.

WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Company, as Seller and Servicer,
wish to prescribe the manner of purchase of the Mortgage Loans and the management, servicing and control of the Mortgage Loans.

WHEREAS,
the Issuer intends to sell the Mortgage Loans and the Servicer will arrange for the sale of the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Issuer to Mortgage Loan Buyers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Issuer, the Seller, the
Servicer and, solely with respect to Article XIII herein, the Performance Guarantor, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Whenever used herein,
the following words and phrases, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Definitions List attached as Schedule I to the Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Issuer
and the Collateral Agent (the Security Agreement).

ARTICLE II

SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS; POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES;

BOOKS AND RECORDS; CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT;

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS

Section 2.1 Sale of Mortgage Loans; Possession of Mortgage Loan Files; Maintenance of Mortgage Loan Files. (a) (i) From time to time, pursuant to any Transfer Supplement, the Seller may sell, transfer, assign, set over
and convey to the Issuer, without recourse, but subject to the terms hereof, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to each Mortgage Loan identified on such Transfer Supplement, including Wet Funded Loans; provided,
however, that the Issuer shall not at any time be required to purchase Mortgage Loans to the extent that, after giving effect to such purchase, the aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of Mortgage Loans owned by the Issuer is greater than the
then-current Program Size; provided, further, that each Mortgage Loan transferred on each Closing Date must be an Eligible Loan. In connection with the sale of Mortgage Loans to the Issuer, the Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, set
over and convey to the Issuer all right, title, interest of the Seller in and to the servicing rights related to such Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall provide a notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee and each Swap
Counterparty not later than 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day preceding the related Closing Date of its intention to sell a Portfolio to the Issuer pursuant to a Transfer Supplement (each, a Purchase Notice). In such
Purchase Notice, the Seller shall inform the Issuer of the intent to sell Mortgage Loans and the proposed aggregate Initial Purchase Price for each portfolio of Mortgage Loans that it intends to sell on such date. The subject Portfolio and related
servicing rights shall be sold by the Seller to the Issuer as described in Section 2.2 hereof. Each Transfer Supplement shall be executed by the Seller and the Issuer at the time of the sale of the subject Portfolio and related servicing
rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may not purchase any Mortgage Loans during the continuation of an Extended Note Amortization Event or following the occurrence of an Early Accumulation Event.

(ii) Upon execution of any Transfer Supplement by the Seller and the Issuer and receipt by the Seller of the purchase price therefor, the Seller hereby
sells, assigns, transfers, sets over and conveys to the Issuer all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under each Mortgage Loan identified on such Transfer Supplement. It is intended that the transfer, assignment and conveyance herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens, by the Seller to the Issuer and that the Mortgage Loans and related servicing rights not be part of the Sellers estate in the event
of insolvency. In the event that the Mortgage Loans and related servicing rights are held to be property of the Seller or if for any other reason any Transfer Supplement is held or deemed not to absolutely sell and assign the Mortgage Loans and
related servicing rights, the parties intend that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and does hereby grant, to the Issuer a valid first priority security interest, free and clear of any lien, claim or interest of any other Person, in the
Sellers right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans and all related servicing rights and all collateral related thereto now existing or hereafter arising for the purpose of securing the rights of the Issuer under this Mortgage Loan
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and that this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and the Transfer Supplement shall each constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(iii) In the event that the Fair Market Value of any Mortgage Loan sold to the Issuer by the Seller
exceeds the Initial Purchase Price paid by the Issuer to the Seller under Section 2.2 hereof in respect of that Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall be deemed to have made a new contribution of capital to the Issuer in the amount of such
excess.

(b) Pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, as soon as practicable but in any event on or before the date which is
(i) eight (8) Business Days after the sale of any Mortgage Loan to the Issuer if such Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller not more than three (3) days prior to the sale to the Issuer (such a Mortgage Loan, a Tier 1
Mortgage Loan) or (ii) five (5) Business Days after the sale of any Mortgage Loan to the Issuer if such Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller more than three (3) days prior to the sale to the Issuer (such a Mortgage
Loan, a Tier 2 Mortgage Loan), the Seller shall deliver and release each related Loan Document, including Mortgage Notes, Mortgages and Assignments of Mortgages, if any, on Wet Funded Loans (subject to the Wet Funded Loan
Limitation), to the Custodian, as bailee, for the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Custodial Agreement; provided, however, that any Tier 1 Mortgage Loan with respect to which the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and Assignment of
Mortgage, if any, are not delivered on or before the date which is eight (8) Business Days after the sale of such Tier 1 Mortgage Loan to the Issuer shall be repurchased by the Seller on such ninth Business Day at the Repurchase Price in
accordance with Section 3.3 hereof; provided, further, that any Tier 2 Mortgage Loan with respect to which the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and Assignment of Mortgage, if any, are not delivered on or before the date
which is five (5) Business Days after the sale of such Tier 2 Mortgage Loan to the Issuer shall be repurchased by the Seller on such sixth Business Day at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof. If the Seller
does not repurchase the related Mortgage Loan on such ninth or sixth Business Day, as applicable, then the Servicer shall sell such Mortgage Loan on behalf of the Issuer. If the Servicer is unable to sell such Mortgage Loan by the fifteenth
(15th) day following the purchase by the Issuer of such Mortgage Loan, the Collateral Agent shall hold an
auction for such Mortgage Loan on such fifteenth (15th) day or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the
next succeeding Business Day. The Collateral Agent shall notify potential bidders of the auction including the Rated Bidder, who shall be obligated to make a bid at such auction. The Seller shall deliver any documents, records, statements or logs
relating to such Mortgage Loan other than the related Loan Documents not delivered to the Custodian (the Servicing File) to the Servicer and the contents of each related Servicing File shall be held in trust by the Servicer, as
bailee, for the benefit of the Issuer as owner and the Collateral Agent as secured party. The possession of each Servicing File by the Servicer is at the will of the Issuer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan and such
retention and possession by the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer as owner and the Collateral Agent as secured party, the ownership of each related Loan Document and the remainder of the
Mortgage Loan File shall vest immediately in the Issuer, and the ownership of all other records and documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Servicer shall vest immediately in the
Issuer and shall be retained and maintained by the Servicer, in trust, at the will of the Issuer and the Collateral Agent and only in such custodial capacity. The Servicers books and records shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the
sale of the related Mortgage Loans to the Issuer as owner and the Collateral Agent as secured party. The Custodian shall only release its custody of the Loan Documents and other contents of a Mortgage Loan File in its possession in accordance with
the Custodial Agreement.



-3-



---

The Mortgage Loan File shall consist of the following documents (constituting, collectively, the
Loan Documents) and such other documents as the Issuer may reasonably require from time to time:

(i) The
original Mortgage Note (or, if such Mortgage Note is lost, a certified copy thereof along with a Lost Note Affidavit and Indemnity substantially in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit F) bearing all intervening endorsements,
endorsed Pay to the order of , without recourse. The original Mortgage Note shall be accompanied by any riders thereto made in connection with the origination
of the related Mortgage Loan;

(ii) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with the Mortgage Note;

(iii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon;

(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, substitution, consolidation or extension agreements, with evidence of recording
thereon;

(v) except with respect to a MERS Mortgage (which shall not require an Assignment of Mortgage), the original duly
executed Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan, in form and substance acceptable for recording; if the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller in a merger, any Assignment of Mortgage must be made by [Seller], successor by
merger to [name of predecessor]. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the Seller while doing business under another name, any Assignment of Mortgage must be by [Seller], formerly known as [previous
name]. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Seller as receiver for another entity, any Assignment of Mortgage must be by [Seller], receiver for [name of entity in receivership]. Any Assignment of Mortgage must
be duly recorded only if recordation is required as provided in Section 12.9 hereof. If any Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned to the Collateral Agent. If any Assignment of Mortgage is not to be
recorded but is otherwise required hereunder, such Assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered in blank;

(vi) the originals
of all intervening assignments of mortgage with evidence of recording thereon (if such recording is necessary as represented in Section 3.2(cc) hereof);

(vii) if available, either the original mortgagee title insurance policy, or original attorneys opinion of title, or, if the policy
or opinion has not yet been issued, the irrevocable written commitment, interim binder or marked up binder for a title insurance policy or other evidence of title insurance customary in the area where the related Mortgage Property is located issued
by the title insurance company dated and certified as of the date the Mortgage Loan was funded; and

(viii) the original of
any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage.



-4-



---

In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS System, promptly after the
related Closing Date, the Seller will cause, at its own expense, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loan has been sold and transferred to the Issuer and pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by including
(or deleting, in the case of a Mortgage Loan which is repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in its computer files (a) the Collateral Agents organizational ID in the field Investor which identifies the Collateral Agent
and (b) a code which identifies this facility in the Pool field. The Seller and the Servicer will not alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any such Mortgage Loan during the term of this Mortgage Loan Purchase
and Servicing Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is sold in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

If in connection with a Mortgage Loan, the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the original of a document required to be delivered with evidence of recording thereon on or prior to the Closing Date because
of a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation, (a) the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian a photocopy of such document, certified by the Seller or the closing
agent to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded document dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for recordation, and (b) the original recorded document or, if such public recording office retains the original
recorded document, a copy of such document certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Custodian upon receipt thereof by the Seller. Any provision in
this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or any other Program Document that requires a document to be delivered within eight (8) Business Days or five (5) Business Days after the sale of the related Tier 1 Mortgage Loan or Tier
2 Mortgage Loan, respectively, to the Issuer shall be deemed complied with if, under the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence, the document described in clause (a) of such sentence, is delivered within such eight
(8) Business Day or five (5) Business Day period.

Section 2.2 Determination of Initial Purchase Price. No later than
3:00 p.m. Eastern time on each Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Issuer a Transfer Supplement. During any IPP Dispute Period, each of the Swap Counterparties shall have the right to dispute the Initial Purchase Price set forth in the
related Purchase Notice for any Mortgage Loan or portfolio of Mortgage Loans delivered during such IPP Dispute Period by 11:30 a.m. Eastern time on such Closing Date, such sale shall occur at the highest Initial Purchase Price acceptable to such
disputing Swap Counterparty or otherwise such sale must be abandoned or rescheduled by the Issuer and the Seller. If the Issuer does not agree with any purchase calculation, or if the disputing Swap Counterparty disputes any purchase calculation, or
the sale does not close for any other reason, then the Closing Date for the Mortgage Loan or portfolio of Mortgage Loans shall be rescheduled to a later date at the Sellers option; it being understood that regardless of whether the rescheduled
Closing Date occurs after the end of the IPP Dispute Period, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to such Mortgage Loan or portfolio of Mortgage Loans. If the Issuer does not agree with any purchase calculation, or the sale does not close
for any other reason, then the Closing Date for some or all of the Portfolio shall be rescheduled to a later date, at its option, by the Seller. The Issuer and the Seller shall use their best efforts to close the sale of any Portfolio on any such
Closing Date. On each Closing Date, the Issuer shall pay to the Seller the Initial Purchase Price of each Mortgage Loan purchased by it hereunder in



-5-



---

immediately available funds not later than 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Each Mortgage Loan must be an Eligible Loan.

Section 2.3 Purchase Commitment Term. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Program Documents (including, without limitation,
Section 3.4(b) hereof), the commitment of the Issuer under this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement shall expire on the termination of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof.

Section 2.4 Books and Records; Transfers of Mortgage Loans. From and after each related Closing Date, all rights arising with
respect to each Mortgage Loan sold pursuant to any Transfer Supplement, including but not limited to all funds received on or in connection with each Mortgage Loan, shall be received and held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Issuer as
owner and the Collateral Agent as secured party. Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall hold all of the Loan Documents as described in the Custodial Agreement.

The Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be marked
clearly to reflect the ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Issuer. To the extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Servicer may be in
the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable means of recreating original documents, including but not limited to, optical imagery techniques so long as the Servicer complies with its Customary Servicing Procedures.

The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by the Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the Indenture
Trustee, any Secured Liquidity Note Dealer, the Depositary or their respective designees, upon reasonable advance notice, at the offices of the Servicer during normal business hours the related Servicing File during the time the Issuer retains
ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

Section 2.5 Custodial Agreement.
Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Seller shall, from time to time in connection with the purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, deliver to the Custodian, on or before the date
which is eight (8) Business Days after the related Closing Date, the Loan Documents with respect to such Mortgage Loans. The Custodian shall hold each Loan Document in trust, as bailee, initially for the Issuer and then for the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Custodial Agreement.

Section 2.6 [Reserved].

Section 2.7 Reserve Fund Deposit. On each Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit an amount into the Reserve Fund from the proceeds of the
sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer that is required to cause the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund to equal the Required Reserve Fund Amount on such Closing Date. In the event that proceeds of the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer
by the Seller are used to fund the Reserve Fund, the Issuer shall

be deemed to have made a new issuance of equity to the Seller in the amount of the proceeds used to fund the Reserve Fund.

-7-



---

contemplated hereby or thereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or
any Transfer Supplement, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Companys articles of incorporation or bylaws or any material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or
by which it is bound, or constitute a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the violation in any material respect of any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or its
property is subject, or impair the ability of the Issuer to realize on the Mortgage Loans in any material respect, or impair the value of the Mortgage Loans in any material respect.

(d) Ability to Service. The Company services nonprime mortgage loans in accordance with its Customary Servicing Procedures. The Company has the
facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans.

(e) Reasonable Servicing Fee.

in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or
would result in any material liability on the part of the Company, or which would draw into question the validity of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or any Transfer Supplement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be

(i) No Untrue Information. Neither this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, any
Transfer Supplement nor any written statement, report or other document prepared by the Seller or to be prepared by the Seller pursuant to this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
contains any untrue statement of a material fact relating to the Seller or the Mortgage Loans. None of the offering documents prepared by Seller in connection with the offering of the Notes by the Issuer contains any untrue statement of a material
fact relating to the Seller or the Mortgage Loans or omits to state a fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not materially misleading.

(60) days prior to the date hereof and the applicable Closing Date, as the case may be, unaudited consolidated balance sheets. All such financial statements fairly present the pertinent results of operations and changes in financial position at
the end of each such period of the Performance Guarantors and its consolidated subsidiaries and have been, and will be, prepared, as the case may be, pursuant to GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in
the notes thereto. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.1(j) (which Schedule may be updated with the consent of the Swap Counterparty so long as the Rating Agency Confirmation has been received), there has been no change in the business,

respects. The Company is not insolvent, nor will it be made insolvent by the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer, nor is the Company aware of any pending insolvency, and the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer is not undertaken to hinder,
delay or defraud any of the Companys creditors.

the Issuers commitment to purchase Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

(o) [Reserved].

(p)
Proper Approvals. The Company is a HUD approved mortgagee pursuant to Section 203 and Section 211 of the National Housing Act.

(3) 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; and

(4) with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, a prior mortgage lien on 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 and enforceable, (except that (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors rights generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought) (A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each First Lien Mortgage Loan, or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with
respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, in either case, on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Issuer.

(d) Ownership. The Seller, or MERS, as the nominee for the Seller, is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan. Except for a lien of the Sellers warehouse lender to be released immediately
upon payment of the related purchase price on the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Issuer 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 the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Transfer Supplement.

(e) 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 Section 3.2(c) hereof.

(f) Conformance with Underwriting Standards. The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller, an Affiliate of the Seller or a broker for
simultaneous assignment to the Seller or was acquired by the Seller from a correspondent lender. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten (or, if acquired by the Seller from a correspondent lender, reunderwritten) to comply with the Sellers
underwriting standards (which underwriting standards have been delivered to the Swap Counterparties and which underwriting standards shall not be materially amended, altered, modified or changed without the Swap Counterpartys consent (which
shall



-11-



---

not be unreasonably be withheld) which consent shall be deemed to have been given the Swap Counterparty has not responded within 5 Business Days after
receipt of notice by the Swap Counterparty of such proposed amendment, alteration, modification or change) in effect on the date of origination (or, if acquired by the Seller from a correspondent lender, on the date of acquisition) of such Mortgage
Loan. The related Mortgage Note and related Mortgage have been documented on forms similar to those used by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Seller has not made any representations to the related Mortgagor that are inconsistent with such Mortgage Note
or Mortgage.

(g) Payments Current. The Mortgage Loan is not a Delinquent Loan and none of the Mortgage Loans will have been
contractually delinquent for more than one calendar month more than once since the origination thereof. No Mortgage Loan is nor will it become a First Payment Default Mortgage Loan.

(h) No Mortgagor Bankruptcy. To the best of the Sellers knowledge and belief, no Mortgagor is currently the subject of a bankruptcy or
similar proceeding.

(i) No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents with respect to the Mortgaged Property 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. The Company 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 greater, to the day which precedes by one (1) month the Due Date of
the first installment of principal and interest and except to fund an escrow of the kind described in the preceding sentence.

(j)
Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any material respect from the date of origination except (i) by a written instrument which has been recorded,
if necessary, to protect the interests of the holder of the Mortgage Note, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or the Servicer, as required hereunder, and (ii) as permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Note pursuant to the
Companys Loss Mitigation Action Plan and as approved by the title insurer to the extent required by the title insurer and all such changes are reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, as applicable. The Mortgagor has not been released,
in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy and which agreement is part of the related Mortgage Loan File.

(k) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan and the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or interest on any Mortgage Note are not
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, 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,



-12-



---

in whole or in part, or subject the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
the defense of usury, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was funded.

(l) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured against loss by fire and hazards of extended coverage pursuant to
insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.11 hereof. If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of
Section 4.11 hereof. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming (or that will name) the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all currently due premiums thereon have been paid. 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
that the policy is not a master or blanket hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and
is in full force and effect. The Company has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagors having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein,
or the validity and binding effect of either.

(m) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any applicable requirements of federal, state or
local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, or disclosure laws and applicable predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the
Mortgage Loan, including the origination and servicing by the Company of the Mortgage Loan, have been complied with by the Company in all material respects and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation
of any such laws and the Seller shall maintain or cause its agent to maintain in its possession available for inspection by any party evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(n) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated (except in the case of a Second Lien Mortgage Loan,
to the prior mortgage lien on the related Mortgaged Property) or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would
effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Company 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 the Company waived any material default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two-to-four family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit or townhouse, or an individual unit in a
planned unit development, or a de minimus planned unit development. No residence or dwelling is a mobile home or manufactured housing dwelling that is not treated as real estate under applicable law. To the best of the Sellers knowledge and
belief, no portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided that any Mortgaged Property that contains 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.

(p) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable pursuant to its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors rights and to general equity principles, whether considered in a proceeding or action in equity or at law. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. To the best of the Sellers knowledge
and belief, the documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact.

(q) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any advances made after the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, but prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Issuer, have been consolidated with the outstanding
principal amount secured by the related Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan.

(r) 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) (i) in compliance with any applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and
(ii) organized under the laws of such state, (iii) qualified to do business in such state or (iv) not required to qualify to do business in such state.

(i) an attorneys opinion of title, the form and substance of which is customary and
reasonably acceptable to mortgage lending institutions making nonprime mortgage loans in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located; or

(ii) either (A) an lenders title insurance policy, issued in standard California Land Title Association form or American Land Title Association form, or other form



-14-



---

acceptable in a particular jurisdiction by a title insurance company authorized to transact business in the state where the related Mortgaged Property is
located, together with a condominium endorsement, extended coverage endorsement, and an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement (in each case, as applicable) issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located and in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first or second priority lien of the Mortgage in an amount at least equal to the original principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan, and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien, or (B) a binding commitment from such title insurer to issue the same;

in each case subject to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2), and (3), and with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, clause (4) of Section 3.2(c) hereof and
in all cases subject to the exceptions to title set forth in the title insurance policy (or commitment), attorneys opinion of title, which exceptions are generally acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in connection with their regular
mortgage lending activities, and to 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
the Mortgage. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required lenders 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 originator of the Mortgage Loan, and its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lenders title insurance policy (or
commitment), and such lenders title insurance policy is in full force and effect or will be in force and effect upon issuance pursuant to the commitment. No claims have been made under such lenders title insurance policy, and no prior
holder of the Mortgage, including the 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 the related Seller or any agent of the related Seller, and no such unlawful liens have been received, retained or realized by the Seller or any agent of the
Seller.

(u) No Defaults. Except for any Monthly Payment not more than one month contractually delinquent, there is no default,
breach, violation or event of 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 of acceleration, and neither the Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. To the best of the Sellers knowledge and belief, with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan,
(i) the first mortgage is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the prior mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) there is 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 of acceleration thereunder, (iv) the first mortgage does not provide for negative amortization, (v) no funds
provided to the Mortgagor from the Second Lien Mortgage Loan were concurrently used as a down payment for the prior mortgage, and either (A) the first mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the Mortgagee
under



-15-



---

the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such Mortgagee an opportunity to cure by payment in full or otherwise, any default under the
prior mortgage.

(v) 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 the 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,
which are not insured against or otherwise covered by the applicable title policy.

(w) 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 and building law, ordinance or regulation.

(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 marketable
title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption, other than any applicable Mortgagor redemption rights, available to a Mortgagor which would materially interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a
trustees sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note has a stated final maturity.

(y) Occupancy of the
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is capable of being 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 Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made by or obtained from the appropriate authorities.

(z) Deeds of Trust. In the event that the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, 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 the Issuer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustees sale after default
by the Mortgagor.

(aa) [Reserved].

(bb) Acceptable Investment. To the Sellers knowledge, there exists no circumstance or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagors credit-standing
not reflected in the representations set forth herein, or in the documents delivered to the Custodian or in the Mortgage Loan File, that could reasonably be



-16-



---

expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment or cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent
or materially adversely affect the value or the marketability of the Mortgage Loan.

(cc) Delivery of Loan Documents. The Loan
Documents required to be delivered for the Mortgage Loan by the Seller under the Custodial Agreement (i) have been delivered to the Custodian on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) will be delivered to the Custodian as soon as

assignments for which the related original Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording office) have been delivered for recordation or have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary

enforceable (subject to applicable law) 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, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors rights and general principles
of equity applicable thereto.

(ff) No Graduated Payments. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment nonprime mortgage loan and
does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

(gg) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. To the Sellers
knowledge and belief, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. To the best of the Sellers knowledge and belief, the Mortgaged Property is in good repair and undamaged by

(hh) Collection Practices; Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan Adjustments. The origination, collection and servicing practices used by

(ii) Appraisal. The Servicing File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the nonprime mortgage loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by or

Seller, nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation consisting of a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property.

adjustment in case of Mortgage Loans that have an adjustable interest rate). The Mortgage Loan has a final maturity date not later than thirty (30) years after the Closing Date for the purchase of such Mortgage Loan.

Except as provided in the next following sentence, within sixty (60) days of the earlier of
either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any such breach or inaccuracy (without regard to any limitation contained therein concerning the knowledge of any Person as to the facts stated therein) of a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 3.2 hereof that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly to cure such breach or inaccuracy in all material respects and, if such breach or inaccuracy cannot
be cured, or is not cured, within such sixty (60) day time period, the Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in
Section 3.2(cc) hereof, the Seller shall repurchase all Mortgage Loans affected thereby on the ninth (9th) Business Day following the related Closing Date at the Repurchase Price. In the event that a breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, and such breach cannot be cured, or

remit the Repurchase Price as certified by the Seller to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall deposit such amount into the Collateral Account maintained by the Collateral Agent on the day of receipt. Upon receipt of the Repurchase
Price by the Collateral Agent, the Issuer and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian or the Servicer relating to the
reassigned Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the fact that a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.2hereof may be limited to the Sellers knowledge, such limitation shall not relieve the Seller of its
repurchase obligation under this Section 3.3.

In addition to such repurchase obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the
Issuer, the Collateral Agent, each Swap Counterparty and the Indenture Trustee and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, transfer taxes, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
other reasonable costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in this Mortgage Loan Purchase and
Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall not be obligated under this indemnity for any indirect or consequential damages. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this Section 3.3 to cure or repurchase a
Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the Issuer, the Swap Counterparties, the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee constitute the sole remedies of the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee respecting a breach of the foregoing
representations and warranties.

independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with (1) the terms of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and the other Program Documents and (2) otherwise in accordance with
its Customary Servicing Procedures. The Company, as an independent contract servicer, shall exercise its discretion consistent (a) with the same care, skill, customary and reasonable practices and diligence with which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for other third-party investors or (b) with the same care, skill, customary and reasonable practices and diligence with which, it services and administers similar nonprime mortgage loans which it owns,
whichever standard of care is higher. The Company, as an independent contract servicer, shall exercise its discretion consistent with the terms of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and, with respect to the enforcement of defaulted
Mortgage Loans, in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, the sale of any such Mortgage Loan to a third party, the modification of any such Mortgage Loan, or

cause the Servicer to arrange for the sale of Mortgage Loans at such times and in such manner so that the proceeds of the sale, together with amounts
received by the Issuer in connection with the Interest Rate Swap (taking into account the settlement period under the Interest Rate Swap), are available to pay amounts due and owing on such Notes; it being understood that the Servicer shall have no
obligation to purchase the Mortgage Loans or make any payment on the Notes. The Rated Bidder shall make bids on Mortgage Loans as required pursuant to the Rated Bidder Letter. The Servicer may arrange for the sale of Mortgage Loans through a

Servicers obligations to make any Monthly Servicer Advances or Servicing Advances or to incur servicing expenses with respect to each Mortgage Loan, (d) the Servicers or any sub-servicers right to receive compensation for its
services under this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or with respect to any particular transaction or (e) the ownership, servicing or management for others by the Servicer or any sub-servicer of any other nonprime mortgage loans
or property.

(b) The Servicer may enter into additional servicing or sub-servicing agreements with third parties with respect to any of
its obligations hereunder, provided that any such agreement shall be consistent with the provisions of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and no sub-servicer (or its agent or subcontractors) shall grant any modification, waiver or
amendment to any Mortgage Loan without the approval of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any servicing or sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Servicer and any Person acting as servicer or sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) or any reference to action taken through any Person acting as servicer or sub-servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and
primarily liable to the Issuer for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans and arranging for the sale of each Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such servicing or sub-servicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as servicer or sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) to the same extent and under the
same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were engaging in such activities. In the event that the Servicer is a sub-servicer, the Issuer shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Servicer as sub-servicer to enforce the
Servicers obligations to the Issuer. There are no sub-servicers hereunder as of the date of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and, if a Servicer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Servicer will terminate any
sub-servicer within ninety (90) days after being directed to do so by the Required Senior Noteholders or the Required Subordinated Noteholders. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to monitor the Servicer

Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

(e) If the Servicer arranges for the sale of Mortgage Loans by the Issuer pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and the Sale Price of any Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans is anticipated to be less than the Outstanding Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall give each Swap

sale of such Mortgage Loan was pursuant to a sale agreement for a pool of Mortgage Loans and the aggregate Sale Price for such pool is equal to or greater than 102% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balances for the Mortgage Loans in such pool;
provided, further, that the Servicer may request in writing that the Designated Swap Counterparty waive its right to dispute a sale of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans; such request shall be deemed to have been granted if (i) the Designated
Swap Counterparty shall not have responded by the close of business San Diego time on the date such request was received by the Designated Swap Counterparty so long as such request was received by 3:00 Eastern time on such date (otherwise such

payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not paid when the payment becomes due and payable, by Monthly Servicer Advance or otherwise, or in the event that the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such
failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a similar nonprime mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, which action
shall be consistent with its Customary Servicing Procedures and in the best interest of the Issuer as owner and the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that any Defaulted Loan will be sold by the

estimate, in accordance with the Servicers Customary Servicing Procedures, all charges that will become due and payable with respect to each Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property, to the end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors

for the Secured Parties and shall apply such payments as provided inSection 4.5 hereof. The accounts established by the Servicer pursuant to this Article IV may include any number of sub-accounts for convenience in administering

entitled to retain from time to time from collections on the Mortgage Loans owned by the Issuer prior to the deposit of such collections in the Collection Account amounts equal to the amounts so deposited by mistake or overpayment or the adjustments
so required, provided that the amounts so retained are reflected in the Servicer Report delivered to the Collateral Agent for the Remittance Period in which such retention occurred.

(b) Pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall establish the Collateral Account, which shall be held in trust in the
name of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and over which the Collateral Agent shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. The proceeds of any sales of Mortgage Loans by the Issuer to Mortgage Loan Buyers,
Principal Prepayments in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Repurchase Price of any Mortgage Loans repurchased by the Seller or the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.3, 6.2or 7.1 hereof, and any other amounts payable in
connection with the Sellers or Servicers repurchase of any Mortgage Loan and certain other amounts as more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, shall be deposited directly into the Collateral Account on the same day of receipt. Any
and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Collateral Account shall be held in trust by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(c) Subject to Sections 4.6(f) and (g) hereof, the Servicer shall, on or after each Monthly Remittance Date but no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next following Payment Date withdraw, or if the Collateral Agent has exercised its rights pursuant to the terms of the Account Control Agreement, request in writing the Collateral Agent to withdraw,
(A) all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account relating to the specified Remittance Period on such Monthly Remittance Date, plus (B) to the extent not included in the



-33-

amounts referred to in clause (A) above, all Monthly Servicer Advances deposited into the Collection Account with respect to the related
Remittance Period (net of charges against or withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 4.6) and deposit such amounts into the Collateral Account for application pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement.

(d) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Monthly Servicer Advances previously made pursuant to Section 5.1hereof, either by (x) requesting, by delivery of a Servicer Advance Report, the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from the Collection Account to reimburse the Servicer for such Monthly Servicer Advances, or (y) retaining from interest
payments on the related Mortgage Loans the amount of such Monthly Servicer Advances prior to the deposit of such interest payments into the Collection Account, provided,however, that such retention is reflected in a Servicer Advance
Report delivered to the Collateral Agent no later than the Monthly Remittance Date for the Remittance Period in which such retention occurred, the Servicers right to reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.6(d) being limited to
amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan that represent late payments of interest respecting which any such Monthly Servicer Advance was made, it being understood that, in the case of any such reimbursement, the Servicers right thereto
shall be prior to the rights of the Issuer, except that, where the Servicer is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 7.1 hereof, the Servicers right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the
payment to the Issuer of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Sections 6.2 and7.1 and all other amounts required to be paid to the Issuer with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

(e) The Servicer shall, on or after each Monthly Remittance Date but no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next following Payment
Date, by delivery of the Servicer Report to the Collateral Agent, withdraw, or if the Collateral Agent has exercised its rights pursuant to the terms of the Account Control Agreement, request the Collateral Agent to withdraw and remit to the
Servicer, on such date of delivery from the amounts in the Collection Account referred to in clauses (A) and (B) ofSection 4.6(c) hereof, an amount equal to (i) the Servicing Fee for the related Remittance
Period and (ii) if and to the extent previously deposited into the Collection Account, any unpaid servicing related fees and charges to which the Servicer is entitled pursuant to Section 6.3(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Servicer shall be entitled to retain from the interest payments on the Mortgage Loans owned by the Issuer prior to deposit of such payments into the Collection Account, the Servicing Fee to which it is entitled relating to such Mortgage Loans,
provided that any such retention is reflected in the Servicer Report delivered to the Collateral Agent for the Remittance Period in which such retention occurred; provided,further, however, that if the aggregate amount
of any such retention exceeds the Servicing Fee for the Remittance Period in which such retention occurred, the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such excess into the Collateral Account on or after the related Monthly Remittance Date but no later
than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Payment Date.

(f) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.6(g) hereof,
the Servicer may, on any Business Day, withdraw, or if the Collateral Agent has exercised its rights pursuant to the terms of the Account Control Agreement, request in writing the Collateral Agent to withdraw, any or all principal payments or
collections (including partial Principal Prepayments) on deposit in the Collection Account and deposit such amounts into the Collateral Account; provided, however, that any interest payment accompanying a principal payment (including a
partial

Principal Prepayment) shall only be deposited into the Collateral Account in accordance with Section 4.6(c) hereof.

(g) The Servicer shall separately account for amounts deposited into the Collection Account with respect to Mortgage Loans that have been identified for
sale by the Issuer to a Mortgage Loan Buyer. Upon the establishment by the Issuer and a Mortgage Loan Buyer of a Cut-Off Date for the sale of Mortgage Loans by the Issuer to the Mortgage Loan Buyer, all amounts (including Monthly Servicer Advances)
in respect of such Mortgage Loans which are deposited into the Collection Account on and after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the closing date for such sale (i) shall be held in the Collection Account and (ii) shall not be deposited into
the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 4.6(c) or (f) hereof but shall remain in the Collection Account until the closing or abandonment of such sale. Upon the closing of such sale, the Servicer shall, on the closing date
for such sale, request in writing the Collateral Agent to withdraw funds from the Collection Account representing the amounts deposited into the Collection Account in respect of the Mortgage Loans sold to the Mortgage Loan Buyer during the period on
and after the related Cut-Off Date and prior to such closing date and remit such amounts to the account designated by the Mortgage Loan Buyer. If the sale to the Mortgage Loan Buyer is abandoned, then either (i) if any portion of the amounts in
the Collection Account relating to such sale were included in the calculation of a Sold Loan Interest Payment Amount for a prior Payment Date, the Servicer shall, on the date such sale is abandoned, request the Collateral Agent to withdraw the
amounts in the Collection Account that were so included and the Collateral Agent shall deposit such amounts into the Collateral Account for application pursuant to the provisions of the Security Agreement, or (ii) if or to the extent that the
provisions of clause (i) are not applicable, the amounts in the Collection Account related to such sale shall no longer be accounted for separately and shall be available for application pursuant to the provisions of this Mortgage Loan Purchase
and Servicing Agreement.

Section 4.7 Establishment of, and Deposits to, Escrow Account. The Servicer shall establish and
maintain an Escrow Account, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, in a manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be invested by the Servicer which shall be entitled to any
investment income therefrom except as otherwise required by law. Funds deposited in any Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.8 hereof.

The Servicer shall deposit in such Escrow Account within two (2) Business Days and retain therein all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.

The Servicer shall make withdrawals
from any Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as set forth in Section 4.8 hereof. To the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on
escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that such Escrow Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.

may be made by the Servicer only:

(1) For transfer to the Collection Account and application to reduce the principal
balance of a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note;

(2) For application to
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the procedures outlined in Section 4.15 hereof; and

(3) To pay to the Mortgagor, to the extent required by law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account.

Section 4.9 Servicing Advances. The Servicer shall make Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, including advances of taxes or other charges which are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property, and
advances of premiums for fire and hazard insurance coverage on the related Mortgaged Property, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, unless the Servicer provides an Officers Certificate to the Issuer stating that such Servicing
Advance would not be recoverable in its reasonable judgment.

Section 4.10 Protection of Accounts. Amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account may at the option of the Servicer be invested in Eligible Investments; provided, however, that in the event that amounts on deposit in the Collection Account exceed the amount fully insured by the FDIC (the Insured
Amount) the Servicer shall be obligated to invest the excess amount over the Insured Amount in Eligible Investments on the next Business Day as such excess amount becomes present in the Collection Account. Monies held in the Collection
Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments having maturities of no greater than one day; provided, however, that if there are no Secured Liquidity Notes then outstanding, monies held in the Collection Account shall be invested
in Eligible Investments having maturities of no greater than thirty (30) days. So long as there are Eligible Investments having maturities of greater than one (1) day, the Issuer shall not issue Secured Liquidity Notes. All such Eligible
Investments shall be made in the name of, and shall be payable to, the Collateral Agent.

Section 4.11 Maintenance of Hazard
Insurance. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer pursuant to the Servicers Customary Servicing
Procedures against loss by fire and hazards of extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the lesser of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property
and (ii) the greatest of (a) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan plus, in the case of a Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the unpaid principal balance of the first lien mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property, (b) an amount
such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer, and (c) the amount necessary to compensate fully for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such
Mortgaged Property on a replacement-cost basis.

If upon origination or acquisition of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property
was located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer shall cause to be in effect a flood insurance policy
meeting the



-36-



---

requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier pursuant to the Servicers
Customary Servicing Procedures in an amount representing coverage equal to the least of (i) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property (or the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of a Second Lien Mortgage
Loan, the unpaid principal balance of the first lien mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property) if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured), (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and
(iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law, that a
Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the
related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Servicer shall immediately
place in force the required flood insurance on the Mortgagors behalf.

The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagors
freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are generally acceptable companies
pursuant to the Servicers Customary Servicing Procedures and are licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and
amounts, that they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property address. The Servicer shall furnish to the Mortgagor a formal notice of expiration of any such insurance in sufficient time for the Mortgagor to arrange for
renewal coverage by the expiration date.

Pursuant to Section 4.5 hereof, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be deposited in any Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicers Customary Servicing Procedures as
specified in Section 4.15 hereof) shall be deposited in the Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof.

Section 4.12 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance. If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended coverage
on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.11 hereof and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section 4.11, it
shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in such Section 4.11. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than amounts to be deposited in any Escrow
Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicers Customary Servicing Procedure as specified in Section 4.15 hereof) shall be
deposited in the Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with Section 4.11 hereof, and there shall have been a



-37-



---

loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited from the Servicers funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon request of the Issuer or the Collateral Agent, the Servicer shall cause to be
delivered to the Issuer a certified true copy of any such policy if maintained.

Section 4.13 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and
Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such
persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. Such fidelity bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Bankers Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery,
theft, embezzlement, fraud, and negligent acts of such persons. The Servicer shall also maintain with responsible companies, at its own expense, an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other
persons acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. No provision of this Section 4.13requiring such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance policy
shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement. The minimum coverage under such fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance policy shall be at least
equal to the corresponding amounts required by the Servicers Customary Servicing Procedures. Upon the request of the Issuer or the Collateral Agent, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Issuer a certified true copy of such fidelity
bond and such errors and omissions insurance policy.

Section 4.14Inspections. The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged
Property in accordance with its Customary Servicing Procedures.

Section 4.15 Restoration of Mortgaged Property. The Servicer
need not obtain the approval of the Issuer prior to releasing any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with the
Servicers Customary Servicing Procedures. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds:

(1) The Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with
respect thereto;

(2) The Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien of the Mortgage,
including, but not limited to, requiring waivers with respect to mechanics and materialmens liens;

(3) The
Servicer shall verify that the Mortgage Loan is not in default; and

(4) Pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall
place the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in the Escrow Account.

any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Servicer as agent for the Secured Parties, or in the event the Servicer is not authorized or
permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the doing business or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Secured Parties. The Person or Persons holding such title other than the Servicer shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as
nominee for the Servicer.

The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Issuer solely for the purpose
of its prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other
foreclosed property for its own account, and in the manner that similar property in the locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the REO Property on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Issuer. The Servicer shall dispose of the REO Property in accordance with the Servicers Customary Servicing Procedures as soon as possible.

The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property, liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance.

ARTICLE VI

knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the due-on-sale clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise such rights
if prohibited by law from doing so.

If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
due-on-sale clause, the Servicer shall enter into (i) an assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note

the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall notify the Issuer and the Collateral Agent in writing.

If the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without first having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should the
Servicer otherwise prejudice any rights the Issuer may have under the mortgage instruments which materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, upon written demand of the Issuer, the Servicer shall purchase the related
Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price by deposit thereof in the Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such demand by the Issuer.

Upon receipt of the Repurchase Price by the Collateral Agent, the Issuer and the Servicer shall arrange for the reassignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Servicer and the delivery to the Servicer of any documents held
by the Custodian relating to the reassigned Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall, simultaneously with such assignment, give written notice to the Seller, the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Trustee and each Swap Counterparty that such purchase has
taken place, which notice shall contain the Repurchase Price.

Secured Liquidity Note Dealers and each Swap Counterparty stating that such firm has examined the Servicers overall servicing operations in accordance with the minimum standards identified in the Mortgage Bankers Association of Americas
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP), or the Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Approved Nonsupervised Mortgagees (to the extent that the procedures in such audit guide are applicable to the servicing obligations set forth
herein), and stating such firms conclusions relating thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to examine such report.

Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or because of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Servicer. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Indemnified Parties

as a corporation, and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Mortgage Loan

against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Mortgage Loan Purchase and

Servicing Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and
Servicing Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper
authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, with the consent of the Issuer, undertake any such action which it may deem
necessary or desirable with respect to this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Issuer of the reasonable legal
expenses and costs of such action.

Section 9.4 Limitation on Resignation of Servicer. The Issuer has entered into this
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement with the Servicer in reliance upon the representations as to the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing, and the
continuance thereof. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as to each Mortgage Loan except by consent of each Swap Counterparty, the Collateral Agent (acting upon the written direction of the Required
Senior Noteholders) or, if no Senior Notes are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee (acting upon the written direction of the Required Subordinated Noteholders) or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law and such incapacity cannot reasonably be cured by the Servicer. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be delivered to each Rating Agency and any such determination shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Issuer. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicers
responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.1 hereof, subject to Rating Agency Confirmation.

Section 9.5 Limitation on Assignment of Rights and Obligations. The Servicer shall not assign, sell or otherwise transfer its rights, obligations, duties and agreements hereunder (a) except as permitted by
Section 4.1(b), Section 9.4 or Section 10.1 hereof, or (b) unless consented to in writing by each Swap Counterparty, the Collateral Agent (acting upon the written direction of the Required Senior Noteholders
or if no Senior Notes are outstanding, the Indenture Trustee (acting upon the written direction of the Required Subordinated Noteholders) or (c) unless, in the case of a sale or other disposition by the Servicer of all or substantially all of
its servicing business, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise, the Issuer shall have received Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Servicer from assigning or otherwise
transferring its right to receive any payments (including the Servicing Fee) hereunder.

hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12.1.

Upon written request from the Issuer, the Servicer shall deliver all
Servicing Files and other documents relating to the Mortgage Loans held by it hereunder to the successor servicer, prepare, execute and deliver to the successor servicer designated by the Issuer any and all documents and other instruments, and do or
cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, at the
Servicers sole expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicers responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration
by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to any Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The
resignation or removal of, or assignment by, the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.4, 9.5(b) or (g) or 10.1 hereof shall not become effective until (i) in the case of a resignation or removal pursuant to
Section 9.4 or 10.1 hereof, a successor shall be appointed by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 12.1, (ii) in the case of an assignment by the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.5(b) or

Counterparty and the Issuer shall have received Rating Agency Confirmation, and, upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Servicer the obligations of such resigning or removed Servicer hereunder shall be terminated, provided that in no
event shall such resignation, removal or assignment relieve such resigning or removed Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof and the remedies available to the Issuer under
Section 7.1 hereof, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.1 and 7.1 shall be applicable to the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or removal of, or assignment by, the Servicer, or
the termination of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement.

Any successor to the Servicer permitted hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and the Issuer an instrument accepting its appointment as Servicer, wherein the successor shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, whereupon such successor
shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Any termination
or resignation of the Servicer or termination of this Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4, 9.5(b) or (c), 10.1 or 11.1 hereof shall not affect any claims that the Issuer may
have against the Servicer arising out of the Servicers actions or failure to act prior to any such termination or resignation.

The
Servicer shall deliver promptly to the successor servicer the funds in any Collection Account and all Servicing Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.

The successor Servicer shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with
the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing

MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer as necessary under MERS rules and regulations.

the interests of any of the holders of the Notes; provided, further, that an Opinion of Counsel shall be furnished to the Collateral Agent or its designated agent to the effect that such amendment (x) will not prevent the Notes
from being characterized as debt for federal income tax purposes and (y) will not cause the Issuer to be characterized as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal
income tax purposes; provided, further, that no such action will be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of any of the holders of the Notes if the party requesting such action receives (1) an Officers
Certificate of the Issuer certifying that such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any of the holders of the Notes and (2) (x) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such action will not adversely affect
in any material respect the interests of any of the holders of the Notes or (y) Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action; provided, finally, that any amendment under clause (E) above shall be subject to

warranties and covenants contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, to induce the Servicer and the Issuer to enter into the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Seller (other than with respect to paragraph 12)
and the Servicer (with respect to paragraph 12) hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Issuer and the Servicer as to itself as follows, on the date hereof and on each applicable Closing Date thereafter:

General

1. The Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing
Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Mortgage Loans transferred by the Seller to the Issuer, including the related servicing rights and all collateral related thereto now existing or
hereafter arising in favor of the Issuer, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

2. The Mortgage Loans transferred by the Seller to the Issuer constitute instruments and the related servicing rights constitute general intangibles within the meaning of the UCC as in effect
in the State of New York.

Creation

3.
With regard to those Mortgage Loans sold by the Seller to the Issuer hereunder, the Seller owns and has good and marketable title to such Mortgage Loans and related servicing rights free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person,
excepting only liens of the Sellers warehouse lender to be released immediately upon payment of the related purchase price on the applicable Closing Date for the related Mortgage Loan and liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental
charges or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate
reserves have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the lien attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

4. The Seller has received or will receive all consents and approvals to its sale of Mortgage Loans and related servicing rights to the Issuer hereunder required by the
terms of such Mortgage Loans and related servicing rights that constitute instruments or payment intangibles.

Perfection:

5. The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the
filing of all appropriate financing

statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect in accordance with the UCC the sales of
Mortgage Loans and related servicing rights from the Seller to the Issuer, and the security interest in the Mortgage Loans and related servicing rights transferred by the Seller granted to the Issuer hereunder.

6. The Seller or its closing agent has in its possession the original copies of such instruments that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans sold by it to the Issuer,
and the Issuer has caused or will have caused within ten days of the effective date of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the filing of financing statements against the Issuer and the Seller in favor of the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of Secured Parties in connection herewith describing such Mortgage Loans and containing a statement that: A purchase of or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Priority

7. Neither the Seller nor the Issuer has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against itself or the Issuer that include a description of
collateral covering the Mortgage Loans, the related servicing rights or the Collateral, respectively, other than any financing statements (i) relating to the sale of Mortgage Loans and the related servicing rights by the Seller to the Issuer
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or relating to the transfer of the Assigned Collateral from the Issuer to the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement, (ii) relating to the security interest granted to the Issuer
hereunder or the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement, or (iii) that have been terminated.

8. The Seller is not aware of any judgment,
ERISA or tax lien filings against itself or the Issuer.

9. None of the instruments that constitute or evidence the Mortgage Loans transferred by the
Seller has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed, without release or reconveyance, to any Person other than the Issuer hereunder or the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement.

10. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement or any other Program Document, the Perfection
Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding any termination of any of the Program Documents or any replacement of the Servicer or termination of Servicers rights to act
as such) until such time as all Obligations have been finally and fully paid and performed.

11. The parties to the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing
Agreement: (i) shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of all outstanding Series of Notes, waive any of the Perfection Representations; and (ii) shall provide the Ratings Agencies and Swap Counterparties with
prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and shall not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the all outstanding Series of Notes (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings
following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

12. The Servicer covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Issuer and the Collateral Agent under this
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement and the Security Agreement, respectively, the Servicer shall take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as
are requested by the Issuer or the Collateral Agent) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest, the Issuers security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the Collateral Agents security interest in the Assigned Collateral. The
Servicer shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent for the Issuer or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to authorize (based on the Opinion of Counsel
hereinafter provided for) the Servicer to file, all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other
filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Issuers security interest in the Mortgage Loans as a first-priority interest and the Collateral Agents security interest in the Assigned Collateral as a first-priority
interest (each a Filing). The Servicer shall present each such Filing to the Issuer or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, together with a form of authorization for the Issuers signature or the Collateral Agents
signature, as applicable. Upon receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form of authorization, the Issuer or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall promptly authorize in writing the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, effect such Filing under the
Uniform Commercial Code. Notwithstanding anything else in the Program Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to effect a Filing without obtaining written authorization from the Issuer or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, in accordance with this paragraph.

Attn:

Attn: Commercial Paper Group

Dear Sirs:

Reference is made to the
(i) Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2005 (the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement), among Accredited Home Lenders, Inc., as Seller and Servicer, Accredited Home Lenders
Holding Co., as Performance Guarantor, and Carmel Mountain Funding Trust, as purchaser (the Issuer) and (ii) Security Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2005 (the Security Agreement), between the Issuer and
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Collateral Agent, each as may be amended, modified or supplemented. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing
Agreement and the Security Agreement.

Pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, if a
Termination Event set forth in clauses (h) or (k) through (s) thereof occurs or, pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Security Agreement, if a Security Agreement Event of Default set forth in clause
(e) or (m) through (r) thereof occurs or, pursuant to Schedule I of the Indenture, if an Indenture Event of Default set forth in clause (e) or (m) through (r) thereof
occurs, the Servicer is required to use its best efforts to sell all non-Delinquent Loans and non-Defaulted Loans for settlement within 90 days of the date on which such Termination Event, Security Agreement Event of Default or Indenture Event of
Default occurred. In the event that all non-Delinquent Loans and non-Defaulted Loans have not been so sold by such 90thday, the Collateral Agent shall hold an auction (a Termination Event Auction) of the remaining non-Delinquent Loans and non-Defaulted Loans for settlement not later than the 118thday following the date on which such Termination Event, Security Agreement Event of Default or Indenture Event of Default occurred (the
Final Settlement Date). Additionally, pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, in the event the principal of any Notes becomes due and payable (a Repayment
Event), whether pursuant to the terms thereof or by the occurrence of a Security Agreement Event of Default or an Indenture Event of



B-1



---

Default or optional repurchase, maturity or otherwise, the Servicer is required to arrange for the sale of Mortgage Loans at such times and in such manner so
that the proceeds of the sale, together with amounts received by the Issuer in connection with the Interest Rate Swap, are available to pay amounts due and owing on such Notes on the dates the Notes are required to be repaid (each, a
Repayment Date). Finally, pursuant to Section 3.5(c) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, in the event that the Seller fails to purchase any Mortgage Loans when they are required to do so, the
Servicer is required to arrange for the sale of such Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Issuer. If the Servicer is unable to sell such Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Issuer by the fifteenth (15th) day following the purchase of such Mortgage Loans by the Issuer, the Servicer is required to conduct an auction for such Mortgage Loans on such
fifteenth (15th) day or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day (a
Wet Funding Auction).

In connection with any such Termination Event Auction or Repayment Event, [RATED BIDDER] (the
Bank), the Servicer, the Collateral Agent and the Issuer agree as follows:

(a) With respect to the Termination Event
Auction:

(i) the Bank shall participate in a Termination Event Auction and agrees to make a binding bid (the
Bid) for all Mortgage Loans which, as of the auction date, are non-Defaulted or non-Delinquent Loans. The amount of the Bid shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Bank and such Bid shall remain in effect until the Final
Settlement Date; and

(ii) if the Issuer accepts the Bid, the Issuer shall notify the Bank and the Collateral Agent of such
acceptance and the principal balance of Mortgage Loans to be purchased by the Bank (which amount may be all or a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans) in writing not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Final
Settlement Date. Any such purchase of Mortgage Loans by the Bank shall be settled on or prior to the Final Settlement Date.

(b) With
respect to any Repayment Event, if requested by the Collateral Agent:

(i) the Bank agrees to make a Bid for the principal
balance of Mortgage Loans specified by the Collateral Agent which, as of the Bid date, are non-Defaulted Loans or non-Delinquent Loans. The amount of the Bid shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Bank and such Bid shall remain in effect
until such Repayment Date; and

(ii) if the Issuer accepts the Bid, the Issuer shall notify the Bank and the Collateral
Agent of such acceptance and the principal balance of Mortgage Loans to be purchased by the Bank (which amount may be all or a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans) in writing on or prior to



B-2



---

such Repayment Date. Any such purchase of Mortgage Loans by the Bank shall be settled on or prior to such Repayment Date.

(c) With respect to any Wet Funding Auction, if requested by the Servicer:

(i) the Bank agrees to make a Bid for the principal balance of Mortgage Loans specified by the Servicer. The amount of the Bid shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Bank and such Bid shall remain in effect until the close of business on the day that it was made; and

(ii) if the Servicer accepts that bid on behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall notify the Bank of such acceptance and the principal balance of Mortgage Loans to be purchased by the Bank (which amount may be all or
a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans) in writing on the day of such Wet Funding Auction. Any such purchase of Mortgage Loans by the Bank as a bidder in a Wet Funding Auction shall be settled on the day of such Wet Funding
