Date, with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers (in addition to, and together with, the amount of such Price Differential) interest on the unpaid Repurchase Price
at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential is received in full by Buyers or Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers. 

6. Margin Maintenance 
 a.
If at any time the outstanding Purchase Price of any Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is greater than the Asset Value of such Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction (a “Margin Deficit”), then Administrative
Agent may by notice to Seller require Seller to transfer to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers cash in an amount at least equal to the Margin Deficit (such requirement, a “Margin Call”). 

b. Notice delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. Any notice given before [***] (New York City
time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than [***] (New York City time) on such Business Day; notice given after [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call
satisfied, no later than [***] (New York City time) on the following Business Day (the foregoing time requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as the “Margin Deadlines”). The failure of Buyers or Administrative
Agent, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyers or Administrative Agent to do so at a later date. Seller,
Buyers and Administrative Agent each agree that a failure or delay by Administrative Agent to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law
or in any way create additional rights for Seller. 

  
 23 













 c. In the event that a Margin Deficit exists with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan,
Buyers or Administrative Agent may retain any funds received by it to which the Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) shall be held by Administrative Agent against the related Margin Deficit and (ii) may be applied
by Buyers or Administrative Agent against the Repurchase Price of any Purchased Mortgage Loan for which the related Margin Deficit remains otherwise unsatisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyers and the Administrative Agent retain the right, in
their sole discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6. 
 7. Income Payments 

a. If Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Mortgage Loan during the term of a Transaction, such Income, net of any servicing fee, shall
be the property of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers. Seller shall and shall cause Servicer to deposit all Income, net of any servicing fee, to the account set forth in Section 9 hereof upon receipt thereof. 

b. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Price Differential has been paid to Administrative Agent for the
benefit of Buyers in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, then Seller shall be entitled to the remittance of all Income and shall cause the Servicer to remit to Seller all Income paid in respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans for the
preceding month. 
 c. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 7, within two (2) Business Days of receipt by
Seller of any prepayment of principal in full, with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall or shall cause the Servicer to remit such amount to the account set forth in Section 9 hereof and Administrative Agent shall immediately
apply any such amount received by Buyers or the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Repurchase Price due upon termination of the related Transaction. 

8. Security Interest 
 a.
On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the Purchased Mortgage Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Repurchase Assets to Buyers or Administrative Agent as agent and for
the benefit of Buyers. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, as
agent and for the benefit of the Buyers, as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent, as agent and secured party for the benefit of the Buyers, a fully perfected first
priority security interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, any Agency Security or right to receive such Agency Security when issued to the extent backed by any of the Purchased 

  
 24 













 
Mortgage Loans, the Records, and all related Servicing Rights, the Program Agreements (to the extent such Program Agreements and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Mortgage
Loans), any related Take-out Commitments, any Property relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged
Property, including, but not limited to, any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance, hazard insurance and FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts and VA Loan Guaranty Agreements (if any), Income, Interest Rate Protection Agreements,
accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other contract rights, instruments, accounts, payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges), general intangibles and other assets relating to
the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions with respect to any of the foregoing
and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Transaction Request and/or Trust Receipt, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase
Assets”). 
 b. The Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans but only has rights as a party
to the current Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that the Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to
Administrative Agent, as agent and secured party for the benefit of Buyers, a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created.
The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy
Code. 
 c. Seller agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully
perfect Administrative Agent’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, the Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file financing statements relating to the Repurchase Assets, as Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem
appropriate. The Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8. 

9. Payment and Transfer 

Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately
available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at the following account maintained by Administrative Agent: Account No. [***], for the account of CSFB Administrative
Agent /Caliber Home Loans, Inc.-Inbound Account, Citibank, ABA No. [***] or such other account as Buyers or Administrative Agent shall specify to Seller in writing. Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing
account. All Purchased Mortgage Loans transferred by one party hereto to the other party shall be in the case of a purchase by a Buyer in suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in
blank and such other documentation as Buyers or Administrative Agent may reasonably request. All Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be evidenced by a Trust Receipt. Any Repurchase Price received by Buyers or Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New
York City time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day.

 29 













 c. With respect to any Transaction, Administrative Agent and Buyers may conclusively rely
upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Administrative Agent and Buyers reasonably believe to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s
behalf, whether or not such person is listed on the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 10(a)(5) hereof. 
 d. Notwithstanding the
assignment of the Program Agreements with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyers or Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, Seller agrees and covenants with Administrative Agent and Buyers to enforce diligently Seller’s
rights and remedies set forth in the Program Agreements. 
 e. (i) Any payments made by Seller to Administrative Agent
or a Buyer or a Buyer assignee hereunder or under any Program Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If Seller shall be required by applicable law (as
determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Tax from any sums payable to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee, then (i) the Seller shall make such deductions or
withholdings and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; (ii) to the extent the withheld or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 11(e)) Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; and (iii) the Seller shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount paid and shall provide the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant

prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller as will enable the Seller to determine whether or not Administrative Agent or such Buyer or Buyer assignee is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation in Section 11(e)((ii)(A), (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in
Administrative Agent’s or any Buyer’s or any Buyer’s assignee’s judgment such completion, execution or submission 

  
 30 













 
would subject Administrative Agent or such Buyer or Buyer assignee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Administrative
Agent or such Buyer or Buyer assignee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall deliver, or cause a Buyer or Buyer assignee to deliver, to the Seller, to the extent legally entitled to do so: 

(A) in the case of Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee which is a “U.S. Person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) in the case of a successor to the Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee which is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in
Code section 7701(a)(30): (I) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BENE-E or
W-8ECI, as appropriate, evidencing entitlement to a zero percent or reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax withholding on any payments made hereunder, (II) in the case of such non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from the withholding of U.S. federal income tax under Code sections 871(h) or 881(c) with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a duly executed certificate (a
“U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) to the effect that such non-U.S. Person is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), (y) a “10 percent
shareholder” of Seller or affiliate thereof, within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(B), or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Code section 881(c)(3)(C), (III) to the extent such non-U.S. person is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such non-U.S. person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such
non-U.S. person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such non-U.S. person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and
indirect partner, and (IV) executed originals of any other form or supplementary documentation prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (C) if a payment
made to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or assignee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Administrative Agent on its behalf or on behalf of such Buyer or assignee shall deliver to the Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by the Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as may be necessary for
the Seller to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date
of this Agreement. 

  
 31 













 The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by Administrative Agent on
behalf of each applicable Buyer or Buyer assignee on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a Buyer or Buyer assignee under this Agreement, as the case may be, and upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any IRS form previously delivered
by it hereunder. 
 f. Any indemnification payable by Seller to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee for
Indemnified Taxes that are imposed on such Buyer or Buyer assignee, as described in Section 11(e)(i) hereof, shall be paid by Seller within ten (10) days after demand therefor from Administrative Agent. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Buyer or Buyer assignee shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

g. Each party’s obligations under this Section 11 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of,
Administrative Agent, a Buyer or a Buyer assignee, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Agreement. 

h. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 11(h) (including by the payment of additional amount pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and
without interest (other than any interest paid by request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 11(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11(h), in no event will the indemnified party be
required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 11(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified
party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax has never been paid.
This shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

i. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal and relevant state and local
income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans, and the Purchased Mortgage Loans as owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. Administrative Agent
on behalf of Buyers and Seller agree that they will treat and report for all such tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from a Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise prohibited
by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for such tax purposes. 
  

  
 32 













 12. Servicing 

a. Seller, on Administrative Agent’s behalf and Buyers’ behalf, shall contract with Servicer to, or if Seller is the Servicer, Seller
shall, service the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that Seller customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Seller and
Servicer shall (i) comply in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and
(iii) not impair the rights of Buyers or Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder. Buyers or Administrative Agent may terminate the servicing of any Mortgage Loan with the then existing servicer
in accordance with Section 12(e) hereof. 
 b. Seller shall and shall cause the Servicer to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds
collected by Seller and Servicer with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loans in trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected. 

c. Seller shall and shall cause the Servicer to deposit all collections received by Servicer on the Purchased Mortgage Loans in the account set
forth in Section 9 hereof upon an Event of Default. 
 d. In the event there is a third party Servicer and upon Buyers’ or
Administrative Agent’s request, Seller shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans, advising such Servicer of such matters as Buyers or
Administrative Agent may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of
notice of an Event of Default from Administrative Agent, it will follow the instructions of Administrative Agent with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and any related Income with respect thereto. 

e. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or a material default under the Servicing Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have
the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans under the Servicing Agreement without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the
servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyers or Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers in its sole discretion. 

  
 33 













 f. If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Seller or any entity
responsible to Seller for managing or servicing any such Purchased Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Mortgage
Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Administrative Agent. 
 g. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller retains no economic rights to the
servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans other than the Seller’s rights under the Servicing Agreement; provided that the Seller shall and shall cause the Servicer to continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans hereunder as part of its
Obligations hereunder. As such, the Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are sold to Buyers or Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers on a “servicing released” basis. 

13. Representations and Warranties 

a. Seller represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Buyers as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction
that: 
 (1) Seller Existence. Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 (2) Licenses. Seller is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified
in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of business requires it to be licensed or qualified and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action is
not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect and is not in default of such state’s applicable laws, rules and regulations. Seller has the requisite power and authority and legal right to
originate and purchase Mortgage Loans (as applicable) and to own, sell and grant a lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans. 

(3) Power. Seller has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 (4) Due Authorization. Seller has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and
legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements to which it is a party, as applicable. The Program Agreements and any Transaction Request (or, in the case of any Program Agreements or Transaction
Request not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against Seller to which it is a party in accordance with its
terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity. 

  
 34 













 (5) Financial Statements. The Seller has heretofore furnished to
Administrative Agent a copy of (a) its consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the Seller ended December 31, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of
income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, with the opinion thereon of an independent
certified public accountant or auditing firm of recognized national standing and (b) its consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries for the quarterly fiscal period of the Seller ended
June 30, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such quarterly fiscal period, setting forth in each case in comparative form the
figures for the previous year. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Seller and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their
operations as at such dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP (other than monthly financial statements solely with respect to footnotes, year-end adjustments and cash flow statements)
applied on a consistent basis. Since June 30, 2016, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of the Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth
in said financial statements nor is Seller aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse change. The Seller has, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this
Section (the “Statement Date”) no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by,
or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Seller except as heretofore disclosed to
Administrative Agent in writing. 
 (6) Event of Default. There exists no Event of Default under Section 15(b)
hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in Section 15(b) hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to the

negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements, when taken as a whole, are true and complete in all material respects and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they are made, not materially misleading; provided, that with respect to projected financial information, the Seller represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be

adversely affect the validity of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, any Program Agreement or any Transaction Request to which it is a party. There is no final
judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $[***] rendered against the Seller by one or more courts, administrative tribunals or other bodies having jurisdiction, which has not been satisfied, discharged (or provision made for such

and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all federal, state income and other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all material taxes, except for any such taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by

the opinion of Seller, as applicable, adequate.

subject to any restriction materially and adversely affecting its business, operations, assets or financial condition, except as disclosed in the financial statements described in Section 13(a)(5) hereof. Neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of
Seller is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, instrument, or indenture which default could have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, properties, or financial condition of Seller as a whole. No holder of any indebtedness of Seller or of any of its Subsidiaries has given notice of any asserted default thereunder.

reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur prior to the issuance of the Agency Security or the consummation of the Take-out Commitment, as the case
may be, including, without limitation, a change in insurance coverage which would either make Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency or
to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, FHA or VA. If, on and after approval by the Agencies, Seller for any reason ceases to possess all such applicable approvals, or should notification to the relevant Agency or to the Department of
Housing and Urban Development, FHA or VA be required, Seller shall so notify Administrative Agent immediately in writing. Seller has, or shall retain the Servicer that has, adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and
experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. 

(25) No Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Program Agreements to which it is a
party and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary.

immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyers or Administrative Agent and applied, in Buyers’ or Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid
Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder, and (iii) Seller shall immediately upon Administrative Agent’s request deliver to Buyers or Administrative Agent the Mortgage Files
relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control. 

  
 48 













 c. Buyers and Administrative Agent also shall have the right to obtain physical possession,
and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of Seller relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any
legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller. To obtain physical possession of any
Purchased Mortgage Loans held by Custodian, Buyers or Administrative Agent shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt. Without limiting the rights of Buyers or Administrative Agent hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to
Buyers or Administrative Agent for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyers and
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyers or Administrative Agent from pursuing any
other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages. 
 d. Buyers and Administrative Agent shall have the right to
direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Buyers or Administrative Agent and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of
Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Buyers or Administrative Agent. Buyers and Administrative Agent shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause. In
addition, Buyers and Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Mortgage Loans and liquidate all Repurchase Assets. Such disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans may be, at Buyers’ or Administrative Agent’s
option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Neither Buyers nor Administrative Agent shall be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Mortgage Loans with respect to any such disposition thereof. Buyers and
Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets
shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyers or Administrative Agent to dispose of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the
Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets. Buyers and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such 

  
 49 













 
securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Buyers and Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Mortgage Loans individually
for the prevailing price. Buyers and Administrative Agent shall also be entitled, in their sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans, to give the Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans
and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder. 

e. Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Buyers and Administrative Agent may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the
Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Price hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Buyers or Administrative Agent deem appropriate in their sole discretion. 

f. Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including,
without limitation, all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and each Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an
amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other
loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction. 
 g. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are
(i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this Section 16(g) shall be at a rate equal to the
Post-Default Rate. 
 h. Buyers and Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to
it under any other agreement or applicable law. 
 i. Buyers and Administrative Agent may exercise one or more of the remedies available to
Buyers or Administrative Agent immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies
arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyers or Administrative Agent may have. 

  
 50 













 j. Buyers and Administrative Agent may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without
prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyers or Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense
of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial
remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. 

17. Reports 
 a.

18. Repurchase Transactions 

A Buyer may, in its sole election, engage in repurchase transactions (as “seller” thereunder) with any or all of the Purchased
Mortgage Loans and/or Repurchase Assets or pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and/or Repurchase Assets with a counterparty of Buyers’ choice (such transaction, a
“Repledge Transaction”). Any Repledge Transaction shall be effected by notice to the Administrative Agent, and shall be reflected on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred,
no such Repledge Transaction shall relieve such Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets to Seller (and not substitutions thereof) pursuant to the terms hereof. In the event such Buyer engages in a
repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, such Buyer shall have the right to assign to such Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable
representations or warranties herein and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Mortgage Loans that are subject to such repurchase transaction. In furtherance, and not by limitation of, the foregoing, it is acknowledged
that each counterparty under a Repledge Transaction (a “Repledgee”), is a repledgee as contemplated by Sections 9-207 and 9-623 of the UCC (and the
relevant Official Comments thereunder). Administrative Agent and Buyers are each hereby authorized to share any information delivered hereunder with the Repledgee, subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 32 herein. 

19. Single Agreement 

Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller acknowledge they have and will enter into each Transaction hereunder, in consideration of and in
reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller agrees (i) to
perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be
entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of
them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other
transfers may be applied against each other and netted. 

  
 55 













 20. Notices and Other Communications 

Any and all notices (with the exception of Transaction Requests, which shall be delivered via electronic mail or other electronic medium agreed
to by the Administrative Agent and the Seller), statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a party to the other by mail, email, facsimile, messenger or otherwise to the address specified below, or so sent to such party at
any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and requests hereunder may be made orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by other communication as specified in the preceding
sentence. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the
respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

21. Entire Agreement; Severability 

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions.
Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. 

  
 57 













 22. Non assignability 

The Program Agreements are not assignable by Seller. Subject to Section 38 (Acknowledgement of Assignment and Administration of
Repurchase Agreement) hereof, Administrative Agent and Buyers may from time to time assign all or a portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements with Seller’s prior written consent, which such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however that such consent shall not be required if Administrative Agent or Buyers assigns their rights and obligations to (i) an Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Buyers or
(ii) after the occurrence and during the occurrence of an Event of Default. Administrative Agent, or a Buyer in the case of any participation, shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of Seller, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees, participants and Buyers as joined from time to time (the “Register”) and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyers or
Administrative Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller,
Administrative Agent and Buyers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register in accordance with this Section 22 as a Buyer hereunder. Upon such assignment in accordance with this Section 22 and recordation in the
Register, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of
Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder, as applicable, and (b) Administrative Agent and Buyers shall be released from their respective obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements to the extent that such rights and obligations have
been expressly assumed by the assignee. Any assignment hereunder shall be deemed a joinder of such assignee as a Buyer hereto. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyers or
Administrative Agent unless otherwise notified by Buyers or Administrative Agent in writing. Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual assignee any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent
and/or Buyers by Seller as long as such assignee agrees to comply with the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 32 hereof 

23. Set-off 

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder and by law, the Administrative Agent and Buyers shall
have the right, without prior notice to the Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation
from Seller or any Subsidiary thereof to a Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits,
indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from a Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the
Seller or any Subsidiary thereof. Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Seller after any such set off and application made by a Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and
application. 

  
 58 













 24. Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction 

a. This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Seller
acknowledges that the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Administrative Agent and Buyers. THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 

b. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY. SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SELLER HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL
JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS. 

25. No Waivers, Etc. 
 No
express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy
hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without
limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6(a), 16(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date. 

26. Intent 
 a. The
parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in
Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin
payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement”
that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyers further recognize and intend that
this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a). 
  

  
 59 













 b. Administrative Agent’s or a Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Mortgage
Loans delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate
such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” as
such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5). 
 c. The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an
“insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term
is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 

d. It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or
“covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or all of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). 

e. This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of
Section 101(47), Section 555, Section 559 and Section 741 under the Bankruptcy Code. 
 f. Each party agrees that this
Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity. 

27. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that: 

a. in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934 Act,
the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the SIPA do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; 

  
 60 













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

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

28. Power of Attorney 

Seller hereby authorizes Buyers or Administrative Agent to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets
without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyers or Administrative Agent, at their option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyers and Administrative Agent as Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyers or Administrative Agent deem appropriate to perfect and continue its
ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer
servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact. This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable
without Buyers’ or Administrative Agent’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Default hereunder. Seller shall pay the filing costs
for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28. In addition to the foregoing, the Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof. 

29. Buyers May Act Through Administrative Agent 

Each Buyer has designated the Administrative Agent for the purpose of performing any action hereunder. 

30. Indemnification; Obligations 

a. Seller agrees to hold Administrative Agent, Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents
and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of any Program Agreement or any Transaction
Request or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy

provided for herein, any Transaction Request and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel. Seller’s agreements in this
Section 30 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and are not limited to
recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller also agrees not to assert any claim against Administrative Agent, each Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds
of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT)
OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. This Section 30(a) shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 

b. Without limitation to the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction is made by Seller other
than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 16 or for any other reason, Seller shall, upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Buyers or Administrative Agent on
behalf of Buyers an amount sufficient to compensate Buyers for any losses, costs or expenses that they may reasonably incur as of a result of such payment. 

c. Without limiting the provisions of Section 30(a) hereof, if Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable
by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion.

Buyers’, any assignee’s or Repledgee’s respective rights hereunder or under any Transaction, including in connection with disposition of Repurchase Assets as permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreement, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding
the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax
treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Administrative Agent and Buyers or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Commitment Fee, Purchase Price Percentage
and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the
federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyers or Administrative Agent. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all parties shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws,
including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Each of
Administrative Agent, each Buyer and Seller understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”), and
each of Administrative Agent, each Buyer and Seller agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Seller shall implement such
physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in
the Act) of Administrative Agent and Buyers or any Affiliate of 

  
 63 













 
Administrative Agent or Buyers which the Seller holds or (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect
against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Seller represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards
adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Administrative Agent and/or Buyers to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required
under this Section. Without limitation, this may include Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of the Seller. The Seller shall notify Administrative Agent timely
following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of such other party or its Affiliates. 

33. Recording of Communications 

Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape
recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions. Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller consent to the admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration, or other
proceedings. The parties agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties’ agreement.

 36. Periodic Due Diligence Review 

Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Seller and the
Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, for the purpose of performing quality control review of the Mortgage Loans, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon
reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Administrative Agent or its authorized representatives will be permitted
during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, data, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation,
quality control review) in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Administrative Agent a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting
the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Buyers may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to
Administrative Agent and Buyers in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Administrative Agent at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence
review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports 

  
 64 













 
and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Administrative
Agent or Buyers may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent, Buyers and any third party underwriter in
connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent, Buyers and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage
Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with Administrative Agent’s activities pursuant to this Section 36 (“Due Diligence Costs”); provided that such Due Diligence Costs shall not exceed the Due Diligence Cap and
provided further that such Due Diligence Cap shall not apply on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default. 
 37. Authorizations

 Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 2 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller, Buyers or
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement. The Seller may amend Schedule 2 from time to time by delivering a revised Schedule 2 to Buyers or Administrative Agent and expressly stating that such revised Schedule
2 shall replace the existing Schedule 2. 
 38. Acknowledgment of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement

 Pursuant to Section 22 (Non assignability) of this Agreement, a Buyer or Administrative Agent may sell, transfer and/or
convey certain Purchased Mortgage Loans and the related Repurchase Assets and related Transactions in accordance with the terms of Section 22. The Administrative Agent shall administer the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Buyers.
For the avoidance of doubt, all payments, notices, communications and agreements pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to, and entered into by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Buyers. Furthermore, to the extent that the
Administrative Agent exercises remedies pursuant to this Agreement, any of the Administrative Agent and/or any Buyer will have the right to bid on and/or purchase any of the Repurchase Assets pursuant to Section 16 (Remedies Upon
Default). Notwithstanding that multiple Buyers may purchase individual Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions entered into under this Agreement, all Transactions shall continue to be deemed a single Transaction and all of the Repurchase Assets
shall be security for all of the Obligations hereunder. 
 39. Acknowledgement Of Anti-Predatory Lending Policies 

Administrative Agent has in place internal policies and procedures that expressly prohibit its purchase of any High Cost Mortgage Loan. 

40. Documents Mutually Drafted 

The Seller, Administrative Agent and the Buyers agree that this Agreement and each other Program Agreement prepared in connection with the
Transactions set forth herein have been mutually drafted and negotiated by each party, and consequently such documents shall not be construed against any party as the drafter thereof.

 SCHEDULE 1 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS 

(a) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage
Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan within the grace period and, if the
Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of Seller, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note. 
 (b) No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges,
leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet
due and payable. Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes
by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and/or interest thereunder. 
 (c) Original Terms Unmodified. The
terms of the Mortgage Note (and the Proprietary Lease, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Stock Power with respect to each Co-op Loan) and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in
any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyers, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial
Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the
Mortgage Loan has 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 assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to
the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule. 
 (d) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan (and
the Assignment of Proprietary Lease related to each Co-op Loan) is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without
limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no
such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no 

  
 Schedule 1-1 













 
Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. Seller has no knowledge nor has it
received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. 

(e) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer,
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured
against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have
been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance
is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the
Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such
Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy
covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller 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
including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been
received, retained or realized by Seller. 
 (f) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or
local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in
its possession, available for the inspection of Buyers or Administrative Agent, and shall deliver to Buyers or Administrative Agent, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. 

  
 Schedule 1-2 













 (g) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination
or rescission. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action
or inaction by the Mortgagor. 
 (h) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State
as identified in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of (i) a single parcel of real property, with respect to Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans or Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans, or (ii) a single or contiguous parcel of real property with respect to Agency Mortgage Loans, in each case, with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or any condominium unit, Co-op Unit or any planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development; provided, however, that any
condominium unit, Co-op Unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings or shall conform to underwriting guidelines
acceptable to Buyers or Administrative Agent in their sole discretion and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use
property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Buyers or Administrative Agent in their sole discretion. 

(i) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected (a) with respect to each first lien Mortgage
Loan, first priority lien and first priority security interest, in each case, on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing,
heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: 

a. the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; 

b. covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the related Buyer’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the
appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and 

c. 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. 

  
 Schedule 1-3 













 Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with
the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates with respect to each first lien mortgage loan, a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and
assign the same to Buyers or Administrative Agent. Other than with respect to another lien that confirms that such lien is subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage
Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien on such Mortgaged Property. 

(j) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or
guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other
such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and
properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any
appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm
the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation,
where required, has been completed. 
 (k) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. There is no further requirement for future advances under
the Mortgage Loan, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been
complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

 (l) Ownership. Seller has full right to sell the Mortgage Loan to Buyers 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 each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale
of each Mortgage Loan, Buyers will own such Mortgage Loan (and with respect to any Co-op Loan, the sole owner of the related Assignment of Proprietary Lease) free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(m) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise,
are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either
(A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business
in such state. 

  
 Schedule 1-4 













 (n) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an
attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA
lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Buyers or Administrative Agent with respect to Non-Agency
Non-QM Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with respect to Agency Mortgage Loans and each such title insurance policy is
issued by a title insurer acceptable to Buyers or Administrative Agent with respect to Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans and
Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with respect to Agency Mortgage Loans and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its
successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b) and
(c) of paragraph (i) of this Schedule 1, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for
adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s
title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for
zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance
policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such
lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without
limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained
or realized by Seller. 
 (o) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage
or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred 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 Seller nor its
predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and with respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Assignment of
Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments (including assessments payable in the future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and Seller has the right under the terms of the
Mortgage Note, Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor. 

  
 Schedule 1-5 













 (p) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims
which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
Mortgage. 
 (q) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value
of the Mortgaged Property lie 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. 
 (r) Origination; Payment
Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings
bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal and/or interest payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than 60 days after
funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to
the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. The Mortgage Note is payable on a monthly basis in equal monthly installments of principal and/or interest (subject to an “interest only” period in the case of Interest Only
Loans), which installments of interest (a) with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans are subject to change on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date and
(b) with respect to Interest Only Loans are subject to change on the Interest Only Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Only Adjustment Date, in both cases with interest calculated and payable in
arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than 30 years from commencement of amortization. The Due Date of the first payment under the Mortgage Note is no more than 60 days
from the date of the Mortgage Note. 
 (s) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains
customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the
proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person, or restriction
on the Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would
interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of the Seller, Administrative Agent, a Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the
ability of the Seller, Administrative 

  
 Schedule 1-6 













 
Agent, a Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Administrative Agent with respect to Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans and Non-Agency QM Mortgage Loans and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with respect to Agency Mortgage Loans.

 (t) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully
occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited
to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received notification from any Governmental Authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received
notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated with an “owner-occupied” Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor represented
at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence. 

(u) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding
Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (i) above. 
 (v)
Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no
fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Custodian, Buyers or Administrative Agent to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. 

(w) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to Mortgage Loans intended for purchase by GNMA and for Mortgage Loans registered
with MERS, the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. 

(x) Due-On-Sale. Except with respect to Mortgage Loans
intended for purchase by GNMA, the Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior
written consent of the mortgagee thereunder. 
 (y) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. Except with
respect to (i) Agency Mortgage Loans, (ii) Non-Agency Non-QM Mortgage Loans and (iii) as approved by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the
Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source
other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or
other contingent interest feature. 

  
 Schedule 1-7 













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

(aa) No Condemnation Proceeding. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Seller has
no knowledge of any such proceedings. 
 (bb) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination and
collection practices used by the originator, each servicer of the Mortgage Loan and Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in
all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Servicer, on behalf of Seller, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for
which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. If the Mortgagor has elected to have an escrow for certain property charges, then such
escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other
charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any
interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited. 
 (cc) Conversion to Fixed
Interest Rate. Except as allowed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or otherwise as expressly approved in writing by Buyers or Administrative Agent, with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan is not convertible to a fixed
interest rate Mortgage Loan. 
 (dd) Other Insurance Policies. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred
and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether or not known to Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private
mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of
actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or 

  
 Schedule 1-8 













 
fraud of Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted
therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial
inability to pay. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by Seller or by any officer, director, or employee of Seller or any designee of Seller or any
corporation in which Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance. 

(ee) Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified Seller, and Seller has no knowledge, of any relief requested or
allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003. 
 (ff) Appraisal. Except with respect to streamlined FHA
Loans and VA Loans originated in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or except in the case where a property inspection has been delivered for the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines, the Mortgage File
contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the funding of the Mortgage Loan by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the
security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. 

(gg) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials
required by applicable law with respect to the making of adjustable rate mortgage loans, and Seller maintains such statement in the Mortgage File. 

(hh) Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. Other than with respect to a HUD 203k rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or a HUD
203h disaster Mortgage Loan, no Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property. 

(ii) Capitalization of Interest. The Mortgage Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest. 

(jj) No Equity Participation. No document relating to the Mortgage Loan provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form
of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property. The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged
Property or the Mortgagor and Seller has not financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor. 

  
 Schedule 1-9 













 (kk) Proceeds of Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have not been and
shall not be used to satisfy, in whole or in part, any debt owed or owing by the Mortgagor to Seller or any Affiliate or correspondent of Seller, except in connection with a refinanced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that other than with respect

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED POWER OF ATTORNEY 

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (“Seller”) hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Credit
Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“Administrative Agent”) and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in
Administrative Agent’s discretion: 
 (a) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and
collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any assets purchased by Administrative Agent on behalf of certain Buyers under the Second Amended and Restated Master Repurchase
Agreement (as amended, restated or modified) dated August 26, 2016 (the “Assets”) and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Administrative
Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other assets whenever payable; 
 (b) to pay or discharge
taxes and liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Assets; 
 (c) (i) to direct any party liable for any payment under any
Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Administrative Agent or as Administrative Agent shall direct; (ii) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys,
claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Assets; (iii) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Assets; (iv) to
commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Assets; (v) to defend any suit,
action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Assets; (vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (v) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as
Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (vii) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Assets as fully and completely as though Administrative Agent were the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Administrative Agent’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Assets
and Administrative Agent’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do; 

  
 E-1 













 (d) for the purpose of carrying out the transfer of servicing with respect to the Assets
from Seller to a successor servicer appointed by Buyers or Administrative Agent in their sole discretion and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish such transfer of servicing, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by Seller, to, in the name of Seller or its own name, or
otherwise, prepare and send or cause to be sent “good-bye” letters to all mortgagors under the Assets, transferring the servicing of the Assets to a successor servicer appointed by Buyers or

 (e) for the purpose of delivering any notices of sale to mortgagors or other third parties,
including without limitation, those required by law. 
 Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. 
 Seller also authorizes
Administrative Agent, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Assets. 

The powers conferred on Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect Buyers’ and Administrative Agent’s interests in the
Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
