 22 













 Each Transaction Request delivered by Seller hereunder shall constitute a certification by
Seller that all the conditions set forth in this Section 3(b) have been satisfied (both as of the date of such notice or request and as of the Purchase Date). 

(c) Initiation. 

(i) Seller shall deliver a Transaction Request through the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System to Buyer on or prior to the
date and time set forth in Section 3(b)(v) prior to entering into any Transaction. Such Transaction Request shall include all information required by Buyer pursuant to the TIAA Bank Warehouse Customer Guide. Following receipt of such request,
Buyer may, for any Mortgage Loans not subject to the Committed Sublimit, and shall, for any Mortgage Loans subject to the Committed Sublimit, agree to enter into such requested Transaction, in which case it will fund the Purchase Price therefor as
contemplated in this Agreement. Buyer’s funding the Purchase Price of the Transaction and Seller’s acceptance thereof, will constitute the parties’ agreement to enter into such Transaction. Buyer shall confirm the terms of each
Transaction on the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System, including information that sets forth (A) the Purchase Date, (B) the Purchase Price, (C) the Repurchase Date, (D) the Pricing Rate applicable to the Transaction, (E) the
applicable Purchase Price Percentages, and (F) additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement; provided that Buyer’s failure to enter the information into the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System shall not affect the
obligations of Seller with respect to such Transaction. Except with respect to the Committed Sublimit, this Agreement is not a commitment by Buyer to enter into Transactions with Seller but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in
connection with periodic requests for Buyer to enter into Transactions with Seller. Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer is under no obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement. 

(ii) The information entered into the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System with respect to any Transaction, together with this
Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby unless objected to in writing by Seller no more than two (2) Business Days after the Purchase Date of the Transaction. An objection sent by Seller must
state specifically that such writing is an objection, must specify the provision(s) being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes they should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more than
two (2) Business Days after the Purchase Date for the Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Seller accepts funding of the Transaction, Seller shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of the Transaction as set
forth in the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System. All Transactions entered into on any Business Day shall be reflected in the Daily Activity Report on such Business Day. 

(iii) Except as otherwise provided in the definition of Termination Date, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction shall not be
later than the Termination Date. 
 (iv) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Termination
Date, Seller may sell, repurchase and resell Eligible Mortgage Loans hereunder. 
 (v) No later than the date and time set
forth in the Custodial Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Custodian (x) the Mortgage File pertaining to each Eligible Mortgage Loan (other than Wet Mortgage Loans) to be purchased by Buyer, and (y) the Wet File for each Wet Mortgage Loan
to be purchased by Buyer. 

  
 23 













 (vi) Upon Buyer’s receipt of the Trust Receipt (accompanied by a
Custodial Loan Transmission) in accordance with the Custodial Agreement and subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the Purchase Price will then be made available to Seller by Buyer transferring, via wire transfer, in the aggregate amount
of such Purchase Price in funds immediately available, as provided in Section 9(b). 
 (vii) In addition to the other
payment and performance obligations of Seller under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, in the event that Buyer transfers any amounts for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan as provided herein, Seller, shall be fully, absolutely, and
unconditionally obligated and liable to repay to Buyer the full amount thereof if (x) on the related scheduled Purchase Date such Mortgage Loan does not close, or (y) such Mortgage Loan otherwise fails to become a Purchased Mortgage Loan.
Any amounts due pursuant to this Section 3(c)(vii) shall be payable on demand, and the unpaid amount thereof shall accrue interest at the Post-Default Rate from the date so transferred until paid in full. 

(d) Repurchase; Purchase by a Takeout Investor. 

(i) Seller may repurchase Purchased Mortgage Loans without penalty or premium on any date. Such repurchase may occur
simultaneously with a sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loan to a Takeout Investor. If Seller intends to make such a repurchase, Seller shall give written notice thereof to Buyer through the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System in accordance with the
TIAA Bank Warehouse Customer Guide, and to Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, designating the Purchased Mortgage Loans to be repurchased and providing such other information required pursuant thereto, including, without
limitation, delivery of a Takeout Investor Purchase Advice to the extent that such Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be purchased by a Takeout Investor. If such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein, and, on receipt, such amount shall be applied to the Repurchase Price for the designated Purchased Mortgage Loans. 

(ii) On the Repurchase Date, Seller’s repurchase of the subject Purchased Mortgage Loans will be effected by reassignment
to Seller or its designee of such Purchased Mortgage Loans (including the related Servicing Rights and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the Obligations of, Seller) against the
simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan (but liquidation or
foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loan except as otherwise provided herein). Seller shall comply with all of the provisions of the TIAA Bank Warehouse Customer Guide
and the Custodial Agreement in order to effectuate a repurchase hereunder. Seller is obligated to obtain the Mortgage Files from Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date or such other date as agreed to by the parties.
All repurchases effected on any Business Day shall be reflected in the Daily Activity Report for such Business Day. 
  

	SECTION 4.	 MARGIN AMOUNT MAINTENANCE 



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

(b) If at any time the Asset Value of any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction is less than the Purchase Price for such
Transaction, or any applicable Concentration Limit has been exceeded (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to
transfer to Buyer or its designee cash so that, as applicable, (i) the Asset Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans will thereupon equal or exceed the Purchase Price for such Transaction, and (ii) no Concentration Limit will be exceeded.


  
 24 













 (c) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) 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”). 
 (d) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter
the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s
rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller. 
 (e) Any cash transferred to
Buyer pursuant to Section 4(b) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions. 
  

	SECTION 5.	 COLLECTIONS; INCOME PAYMENTS 



(a) All Income, and all rights to Income, of, on, or otherwise with respect to all Purchased Mortgage Loans is the sole and exclusive property
of Buyer as the owner thereof, pending repurchase on the related Repurchase Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that Seller shall be entitled to receive, solely from such Income,
an amount equal to all Income received in respect of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that any Income received by or on behalf of Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed held by Seller solely in trust for Buyer
pending the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date. 
 (b) In the event that a Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding any
provision set forth herein, Seller shall remit to Buyer, by wire transfer in accordance with wire transfer instructions previously given to Seller by Buyer, all Income received with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan to be applied to the
Obligations hereunder in Buyer’s sole discretion. 
 (c) All amounts required to be paid or remitted by Seller to Buyer in this
Section 5 which are not made when due shall bear interest from the due date until the remittance, transfer or payment is made, payable by Seller, at the lesser of the Post-Default Rate or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. If there
is no maximum rate of interest specified by applicable law, interest on such sums shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate. 
  

	SECTION 6.	 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 



(a) If any Requirements of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other
organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
made subsequent to the date hereof: 
 (i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement or any Transaction (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes); 

  
 25 













 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise
included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition (other than
increased Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional
amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. 
 (b)
If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational or governing documents)
regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to
time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. 
 (c) If Buyer
becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
  

	SECTION 7.	 TAXES 



(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be
made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax)
with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required
under any applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and
withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirements of Law, and
(iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional
amounts payable under this Section 7) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. 

  
 26 













 (b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay all present or future stamp, court or
documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (collectively, “Other Taxes”), to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of
Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor. 

(d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes in accordance with this Section 7, Seller (or any Person making such
payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof. 

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this
Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any assignment of rights or obligations under this Agreement. 

(f) (i) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement,
Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. In addition, if reasonably requested by Seller, Buyer shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraph
(ii) of this Section 7(f)) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of Buyer. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller upon the effective date of this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller) executed
copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate
in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (g) In
the event that Buyer assigns its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a non-U.S. Person, then in addition to the rest of Section 7, the following shall apply: 

(i) Such non-U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver
to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or about the date on which such Person becomes an assignee under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the
following is applicable: 

  
 27 













 (A) in the case of a non-U.S.
assignee claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or
IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty; 
 (B) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(C) in the case of a non-U.S. assignee claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller to the effect that such non-U.S. assignee is not a “bank” within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Seller as described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or 

(D) to the extent a non-U.S. assignee is not the beneficial owner, executed copies 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 in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the non-U.S. assignee is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such non-U.S. assignee are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such non-U.S. assignee may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. 

(ii) Any non-U.S. assignee shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or about the date on which such non-U.S. assignee becomes an assignee under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation
as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(iii) If a payment made to a non-U.S. assignee under this Agreement or any other
Facility Documents to which Seller is a party would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such non-U.S. 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), such non-U.S. assignee shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to
comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such non-U.S. assignee has complied with such non-U.S. assignee’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

  
 28 













 (iv) Each non-U.S. assignee agrees
that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so 

(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 7 (including by the payment of additional amounts 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 7 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 the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to
this paragraph (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 paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (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 had never been paid. This paragraph 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, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat the Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Purchased Mortgage Loans as owned by Seller for federal income tax
purposes in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law. 

 

	SECTION 8.	 SECURITY INTEREST; BUYER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT 


 (a) Security Interest. On each Purchase Date,
Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights, title, and interests in, to, and under the Purchased Mortgage Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule or as to which Buyer otherwise pays the Purchase Price as provided herein,
including the related Mortgage File and Servicing Rights and all Income therefrom. 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, as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title, and
interest in, to, and under the following, in all instances whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located related to the Purchased Loans (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”): 

(i) the Purchased Mortgage Loans; 

(ii) the Mortgage File and Records related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans; 

(iii) all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans; 

(iv) the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased
Mortgage Loans); 

  
 29 













 (v) any Property relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or the related
Mortgaged Property; 
 (vi) any Takeout Commitments relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan; 

(vii) any Closing Protection Letter relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan; 

(viii) 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 or hazard insurance; 
 (ix) all
Income relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan; 
 (x) the Inbound Account; 

(xi) the Haircut Account; 

(xii) any Hedge Agreements to the extent relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan; 

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

(xiv) any other assets to the extent relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any other deposit
accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans; 
 (xv) any and all replacements or substitutions for, proceeds
(including the related securitization proceeds) of, and distributions on or with respect to any of the foregoing; and 

(xvi) any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Mortgage Loan Schedule and/or Transaction Request
and/or in the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System to the extent related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. 
 Seller acknowledges that it
has no rights to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans prior to the time repurchased by Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of
doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created prior to the time
repurchased by Seller. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(x) of
the Bankruptcy Code. 
 Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets and
the Servicing Rights as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate, without the signature of Seller thereon. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8. 

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Seller shall execute and deliver a Power of Attorney on the date hereof substantially
similar to the one attached hereto as Exhibit C. 

  
 30 













 Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time,
to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 14 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets. 

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Repurchase Assets and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Upon an Event of
Default, Buyer shall be entitled to all remedies available to a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code and shall have the right to apply the Repurchase Assets or any proceeds therefrom to all Obligations. 

 

	SECTION 9.	 PAYMENT, TRANSFER; ACCOUNTS AND CUSTODY

in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the account maintained and indicated by Buyer not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and
each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account. 

(b) Remittance of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be
transferred to Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to the applicable Settlement Agent. With respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans being sold by Seller on a Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers,

the investment of funds held in the Inbound Account shall be deposited in the Inbound Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant hereto. All amounts on deposit in the Inbound Account shall be held as cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under

shall be deposited in the Haircut Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant hereto. Buyer is hereby authorized and instructed by Seller to withdraw from the Haircut Account any and all amounts contemplated herein. On each Purchase Date, Seller shall
deposit the Initial Haircut Account Funded Amount into the Haircut Account. Upon purchase by Buyer of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall withdraw the Haircut Amount to reimburse itself for the difference between the actual amount
remitted by Buyer on the Purchase Date on account of the Purchased Mortgage Loan and the Purchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loan. Upon repurchase by Seller, or purchase by a Takeout Investor, of any Purchased Mortgage Loan, if there remain
on deposit in the Inbound Account Excess Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then Buyer shall remit the Excess Proceeds to the Haircut Account and such Excess Proceeds shall be added to the Net Account Funded Amount for such Mortgage Loan.
Upon repurchase by Seller, or purchase by a Takeout Investor, of any Purchased Mortgage Loan, if there exists in the Inbound Account Shortfall Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then Buyer may withdraw from the Haircut Account the amount
of any Shortfall Proceeds and such amount shall be deducted from the Net Account Funded Amount. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withdraw from the Haircut Account all Warehouse Fees. To the extent that, following
application of all deposits and withdrawals as contemplated herein with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan that is repurchased by Seller or purchased by a Takeout Investor, (i) the Net Account Funded Amount for any such Mortgage Loan is a positive
number, then such Net Account Funded Amount for such Mortgage Loan shall, subject to this section, be available for remittance to Seller upon written request therefor; and (ii) the Net Account Funded Amount for any such repurchased Mortgage
Loan is a negative number, then Seller shall promptly remit to Buyer the amount of such Net Account Funded Amount for such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that the Net Account Funded Amount for any repurchased Mortgage
Loan is a negative number, Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw, retain and apply any amounts on deposit in the Haircut Account up to the amount of such negative Net Account Funded Amount. To the extent that the aggregate Net Account Funded Amounts
(net of any amounts withdrawn as contemplated herein) for all repurchased Mortgage Loans is a positive number, then Seller may deliver a written request, including without limitations, a request transmitted electronically, prior to 4:00 p.m. (New
York Time) for Buyer to remit the aggregate Net Account Funded Amounts to Seller. To the extent that there exists no Default, Buyer shall, upon receipt of such written request, remit any such amount to Seller. Any interest or other earnings on the
investment of funds deposited in the Haircut Account shall be deposited in the Haircut Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Margin Call or other Default exists, Buyer
shall be entitled to use any or all of the amounts on deposit in the Haircut Account to cure such circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to Buyer without prior notice to, or consent from, Seller. 

(f) Fees. Seller shall pay in immediately available funds to Buyer and Custodian all fees, including without limitation, the Warehouse

applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder; 
 (B) to the extent
permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the
period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the

subsection, and (ii) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased Mortgage Loans applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection (a)(iv) of this Section); and 

(C) all Income actually received by Buyer pursuant to Section 5 shall be applied to the aggregate unpaid Obligations owed

 46 













 (iii) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have

Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall reasonably request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in the Facility Documents. 

(iv) At any time on the Business Day following notice to Seller (which notice may be the notice given under subsection (a)(i)
of this Section), in the event Seller has not repurchased all Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem
satisfactory any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets subject to a such Transactions hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder or
(B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased

discretion. 
 (v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other Expenses incurred

more of its other rights and remedies, Buyer may, at its option, elect to increase the Pricing Rate to equal the Post-Default Rate.

non-judicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies except as set forth herein. Seller recognizes that non-judicial 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.

 47

rights available to Buyer 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 Buyer shall be
entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery
of monetary damages. 
  

	SECTION 15.	 INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES; RECOURSE 



(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an
“Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, reasonable and necessary costs and
out-of-pocket expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), arising out
of this Agreement, any other Facility Document, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect thereof, that, in each case, results from anything other
than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, or breach of its express obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and
indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Mortgage Loans arising out of any Taxes incurred or assessed in connection with the ownership of the Mortgage Loans, that, in each case, results from anything other than the
Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct, or breach of its express obligations hereunder. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Mortgage Loan for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Seller will save, indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set off, counterclaim, recoupment or
reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any Obligation hereunder. Subject to Seller’s good faith dispute, Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party within
thirty (30) calendar days of when billed by such Indemnified Party and subject to the reasonableness of such billing for reasonable and necessary Indemnified Party’s costs and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. 
 (b)
Subject to Seller’s good faith dispute, Seller agrees to pay within thirty (30) calendar days of billing by Buyer and subject to this Agreement all of the reasonable and necessary Expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with any
amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Subject to Seller’s good faith dispute, Seller agrees to pay as within thirty
(30) calendar days of billing by Buyer all of the reasonable Expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, filing fees and all the
reasonable fees, disbursements and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to Buyer. Seller agrees to pay Buyer all the reasonable out of pocket due diligence,
inspection, testing and review costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller for purchase under this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, those reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 15(a) and 17 hereof,
subject to the limits set forth in the Pricing Letter, including without limitation, the Due Diligence Cap. 

  
 48 













 (c) The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price (including all
Price Differential) and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller. 
 (d) The obligations of
Seller under this Section 15 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  

	SECTION 16.	 SERVICING 



(a) As a condition of purchasing a Mortgage Loan, Buyer may require Seller to service such Mortgage Loan as agent for Buyer for a term of
thirty (30) days (the “Servicing Term”), which is automatically renewable on the following terms and conditions: 
 (b)
Seller shall service and administer the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Agencies, Requirements of Law, the provisions of any
applicable servicing agreement, and the requirements of any applicable Takeout Commitment and the Takeout Investor, so that the eligibility of the Purchased Mortgage Loan for purchase under such Takeout Commitment is not voided or reduced by such
servicing and administration. 
 (c) If any Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than
Seller or any of its Affiliates (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan is to be transferred to a Subservicer, Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice
the Purchased Mortgage Loans, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion. The related servicer notice executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicer Notice”) shall be in form and substance acceptable to
Buyer, and, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer expressly agrees that it approves and accepts all Servicer Notices and all Subservicers identified in the Pricing Letter. In no event shall Seller’s use of a Subservicer relieve Seller of its
obligations hereunder, and Seller shall remain liable under this Agreement as if Seller were servicing such Mortgage Loans directly. 
 (d)
Upon the later of (i) an Event of Default that is continuing, (ii) Buyer’s election to terminate Seller as servicer by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) the transfer of servicing to any Agency approved entity approved
by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity, Seller shall deliver the physical and contractual master servicing of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, together with all of the related Records in its possession, to Buyer’s designee.
Seller’s transfer of the Records and the physical and contractual servicing under this Section shall be in accordance with customary standards in the industry and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of all escrows held
for the related mortgagors (without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”). 
 (e) During the period Seller is
servicing the Purchased Mortgage Loans as agent for Buyer, Seller agrees that as between Seller and Buyer, Buyer is the owner of the related Credit Files and Records and Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard and cause any Subservicer to
maintain and safeguard the Credit File for such Mortgage Loan (including photocopies or images of the documents delivered to Buyer), and accurate and complete records of its servicing of such Mortgage Loan; Seller’s possession of the Credit
Files and Servicing Records being for the sole purpose of master servicing such Mortgage Loans and such retention and possession by Seller being in a custodial capacity only. Seller hereby grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees
related to Purchased Mortgage Loans to secure the obligations of Seller and any Subservicer to service in conformity with this Section and any related Servicing Agreement until repurchase by Seller. 

  
 49 













 (f) At Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the
status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being serviced by Seller, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder or such other circumstances that could cause a material adverse effect on such
Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s title to such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller may be required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller. Seller
shall promptly notify Buyer if it becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under any Purchased Mortgage Loan (subject to applicable grace periods) or any default under any Servicing Agreement that would materially and adversely affect any
Purchased Mortgage Loan subject thereto. 
 (g) Seller shall release its custody of the contents of any Credit File or Mortgage File related
to any Purchased Mortgage Loan only (i) in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, (ii) upon the consent of Buyer when such release is required as incidental to Seller’s servicing of such Mortgage Loan, (iii) is
required to complete the Takeout Commitment or comply with the Takeout Commitment requirements, or (iv) as required by Requirements of Law. 

(h) In the Event of Default and if such Default is not cured within the time period specified, Buyer reserves the right to appoint an Agency
approved successor servicer at any time to service any Purchased Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”) in its sole discretion. If Buyer elects to make such an appointment due to an Event of Default, Seller shall be assessed
all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer associated with transferring the Purchased Mortgage Loans to the Successor Servicer. In the event of such an appointment, Seller shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Credit File
and related Records held by Seller, together with all Income and other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer, and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Buyer in effectuating such
transfer. Seller shall have no claim for lost servicing income, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder. 

(i) From the Purchase Date to the Repurchase Date, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the
Purchased Mortgage Loans provided that Seller shall continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder subject to retaining all related servicing income as compensation for its servicing obligations. As
such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis. Upon Seller’s repurchase of any Purchased Mortgage Loan pursuant hereto, Buyer’s transfer of such Mortgage
Loan back to Seller shall likewise be on a “servicing released” basis. 
  

	SECTION 17.	 DUE DILIGENCE 



Seller acknowledges that Buyer or any third party designated by Buyer (including Buyer’s regulators) has the right to perform one due
diligence review per any twelve (12) month period, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Seller, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and
specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted
during normal business hours to examine and inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Mortgage Files and, subject to Seller’s approval, make copies and extracts of any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information
relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller or Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting such Mortgage
Files and such Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and

Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without
limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan.
Buyer may re-underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter
in connection with such re-underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information
relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or Custodian. Seller further agrees that, subject to the limits set forth in the Pricing Letter, including without limitation, the Due Diligence Cap, Seller shall pay
all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer and Custodian in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 17 (“Due Diligence
Costs”). 
  

	SECTION 18.	 ASSIGNABILITY 



The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior
written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. With Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of Buyer in which case no prior written consent is required, Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the Facility Documents pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment,
(a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and
(b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall
continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall
be under no obligation to cooperate with a successor assignee in the event Buyer assigns all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that (x) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (y) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (z) Seller shall continue to
deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 7. Seller agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 6(a) and 7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 7(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 7(f) and (g) shall be delivered to
Buyer)) to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 6(a) or 7, with respect to any participation, than Buyer would have been
entitled to receive. If Buyer sells any participations of its right and obligations under this Agreement to a non- U.S. participant, Buyer shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or
other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that Buyer shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant 

  
 51 













 
or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations information under this Agreement and the other Facility
Documents) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer shall treat each person whose name is recorded
in the Participation Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 18,
disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of
Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. 

In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good
faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in Agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities. Unless otherwise agreed to by Seller, Buyer shall pay all costs and expenses arising from or related
to any assignment or participation. 
  

	SECTION 19.	 TRANSFER AND MAINTENANCE OF REGISTER 



(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 19, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. Any assignment
or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 19 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with Section 19(b) hereof. 
 (b) Seller shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record
Buyer’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and
obligations assigned. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall provide Seller, or
maintain as agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or under any applicable Requirements of Law.

  

	SECTION 20.	 HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS 



As of the Purchase Date, beneficial title to all Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free
and unrestricted use of all Purchased Mortgage Loans. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or
rehypothecating the Purchased Mortgage Loans to any Person, including without limitation, the Federal Home Loan Bank on or before the Repurchase Date, subject to a full release of any hypothecation and/or pledge on or before the Repurchase Date.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to Buyer by Seller. 

  
 52 














	SECTION 21.	 TAX AND ACCOUNTING TREATMENT 



Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise Taxes, and
for accounting purposes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this
Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by applicable Requirements of Law or GAAP. 
  

	SECTION 22.	 SET-OFF 



In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such
notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Seller to Buyer 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 or cash, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured
or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer to or for the credit or the account of Seller. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. 
 Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as
Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred. 
  

	SECTION 23.	 TERMINABILITY 



Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making
of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default or Event of Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may
have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. Notwithstanding any such termination or the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the
representations and warranties and covenants hereunder shall continue and survive. 
  

	SECTION 24.	 NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS 



Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including
without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by electronic transmission unless otherwise stated) delivered to the intended recipient
at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. 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. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Section 3 (which shall be effective only on
receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when transmitted during business hours at the recipient’s place of business by email (if an email address for such purpose is provided for such Person), (b) when
delivered, if delivered by hand (including by courier or overnight delivery service), or (c) in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. 

  
 53 














	SECTION 25.	 USE OF THE TIAA BANK WAREHOUSE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND OTHER ELECTRONIC MEDIA 



Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may require or permit certain transactions with Buyer be conducted electronically using Electronic
Records and/or Electronic Signatures. Seller consents to the use of Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures whenever expressly required or permitted by Buyer and acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall be bound by its Electronic Signature
and by the terms, conditions, requirements, information and/or instructions contained in any such Electronic Records. 
 Seller agrees to
adopt as its Electronic Signature its user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers, access codes, a facsimile image of a written signature and/or other symbols or processes as provided or required by Buyer from time to time
(as a group, any subgroup thereof or individually, hereinafter referred to as Seller’s Electronic Signature). Seller acknowledges that Buyer will rely on any and all Electronic Records and on Seller’s Electronic Signature transmitted or
submitted to Buyer. 
 Buyer shall not be liable for the failure of either its or Seller’s internet service provider, or any other
telecommunications company, telephone company, satellite company or cable company to timely, properly and accurately transmit any Electronic Record or fax copy. 

Before engaging in Electronic Transactions with Seller, Buyer may provide Seller, or require Seller to create, user identification codes,
passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes, as applicable, to permit access to Buyer’s computer information processing system. Each Person permitted access to the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System must have a separate
identification code and password. Seller shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and access codes provided or required by Buyer. Seller shall adopt
and maintain security measures to prevent the loss, theft or unauthorized or improper disclosure or use of any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes by Persons other than the individual
Person who is authorized to use such information. Seller shall notify Buyer immediately in the event (a) of any loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of any of the user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers
and/or access codes or (b) Seller has any reason to believe there has been a breach of security or that its access to TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System is no longer secure for any reason. 

Seller understands and agrees that it shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding its computer hardware and software from any
and all (x) computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that may cause or facilitate the destruction, corruption, malfunction or
appropriation of, or damage or change to, any of Seller’s or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes and (y) computer
“worms,” “trap doors” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that enable unauthorized access to Seller’s and/or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including without limitation,
all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes. 
 Seller agrees that Buyer may, in its sole discretion and from
time to time, without limiting Seller’s liability set forth herein, establish minimum security standards that Seller must, at a minimum, comply with in an effort to (aa) protect and safeguard any and all user identification codes, passwords,
personal identification numbers and/or access codes from loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use; and (bb) prevent the infiltration and “infection” of Seller’s hardware and/or software by any and all computer
“viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses,” “worms,” “trapdoors” or other harmful computer codes or programs. 

  
 54 













 If Buyer, from time to time, establishes minimum security standards, Seller shall comply
with such minimum security standards within the time period established by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to confirm Seller’s compliance with any such minimum security standards. Seller’s compliance with such minimum security standards
shall not relieve Seller from any of its liability set forth herein. 
 Whether or not Buyer establishes minimum security standards, Seller
shall continue to be fully responsible for adopting and maintaining security measures that are consistent with the risks associated with conducting electronic transactions with Buyer. Seller’s failure to adopt and maintain appropriate security
measures or to comply with any minimum security standards established by Buyer may result in, among other things, termination of Seller’s access to Buyer’s computer information processing systems. 

Seller understands and agrees that certain elements or components of the TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System may be provided by third party
vendors, and hereby holds Buyer harmless from any liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Seller relating to or arising out of Seller’s use of the TIAA
Bank Warehouse Electronic System including, without limitation, the use or failure of any elements or components provided by third party vendors. 
  

	SECTION 26.	 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY; SINGLE AGREEMENT 



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

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that they will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all
Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (a) to perform all of its obligations
in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that an uncured Default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (b) that Buyer shall be entitled to set off claims and
apply property held by it in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to it in respect of any other Transaction hereunder, (c) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall
be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each
other and netted, and (d) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application. 

  
 55 














	SECTION 27.	 GOVERNING LAW 



THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES
THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE EFFECTIVENESS,
VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF ELECTRONIC CONTRACTS, OTHER RECORDS, ELECTRONIC RECORDS AND ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES USED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ELECTRONIC TRANSACTION BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
E-SIGN. 
  

	SECTION 28.	 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS 



BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY: 

(i) PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, SUBMITS FOR
ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF; 

(ii) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES
ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME; 

(iii) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH UNDER ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, TO ITS REGISTERED AGENT OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE OTHER PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

 (iv) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 
  

	SECTION 29.	 NO WAIVERS, ETC. 



No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege
under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing or cured by Seller with supporting
documentation. 

  
 56 














	SECTION 30.	 CONFIDENTIALITY 



Each of Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any other
regarding the terms set forth in any of the Facility Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any Person (other than the Custodian) without
the prior written consent of such other party, except to the extent that (a) it is necessary to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any
applicable federal or state laws, (b) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant or (c) in the event of an Event of Default, Buyer determines such information to be necessary or
desirable to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any
other Facility Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, 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 Buyer or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Warehouse Fees, 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 Buyer. The provisions set forth in this Section 30 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer and Seller shall each comply, in all material respects, with all applicable
local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential
Information”). Buyer and Seller each understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB
Act”), and each party agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Buyer and 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 GLB Act) of
the other party hereto, (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.
Buyer and Seller each shall, at a minimum establish and maintain such data security program as is necessary to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 12 C.F.R. Parts 30, 208, 211, 225, 263, 308, 364, 568 and 570. Upon request, each party will provide the other party evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow the requesting party to confirm that the responding party has
satisfied its obligations as required under this Section. Without limitation, this may include, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law and applicable contractual obligations, any party’s review of audits, summaries of test
results, and other equivalent evaluations of the other party. Each party shall notify the other party immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the
customers and consumers of the other party provided directly to such party by the other party. Each party shall provide such notice to the other party by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with
confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual. The provisions set forth in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 57 














	SECTION 31.	 INTENT 



(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11
of the United States Code, as amended and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or
“settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code. 
 (b) It is understood that either party’s right to
liquidate Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and
559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended. 
 (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,” a “repurchase agreement” and a
“securities contract” as such terms are defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder. 
 (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 both
of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). 
  

	SECTION 32.	 DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS 



The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that: 

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act
of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; 
 (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. 

  
 58 














	SECTION 33.	 AUTHORIZATIONS 



Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 3 to the Pricing Letter are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller or
Buyer, as the case may be, under this Agreement. 
  

	SECTION 34.	 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ANTI-PREDATORY LENDING POLICIES 



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

 

	SECTION 35.	 MISCELLANEOUS 



(a) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. 
 (b) Captions. The
captions and headings appearing herein are for included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

(iii) no joint venture exists between Buyer and Seller.

Transactions set forth herein have been mutually drafted and negotiated by each party, and consequently such documents shall not be construed against either party as the drafter thereof. 

(e) Amendments. This Agreement and each other Facility Document (other than the TIAA Bank Warehouse Customer Guide) may only be amended
by a written instrument signed by Buyer and Seller. The TIAA Bank Warehouse Customer Guide may be amended from time to time without consent or assent by Seller and such amendments shall be effective immediately upon notice to Seller of the change
(whether that notice is sent individually or posted to TIAA Bank Warehouse Electronic System) and Mortgage Loans sold to Buyer after the effective date of any such amendment shall be governed by the revised TIAA Bank Warehouse Customer Guide.

 SCHEDULE 1 

SCHEDULE OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING MORTGAGE LOANS 

As to representation and warranties concerning Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that such representations and
warranties are true and correct in all material respects and in full force and effect as of the Purchase Date through and until the Repurchase Date. 

For purposes of this Schedule 1 and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be
deemed to have been cured with respect to a Mortgage Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Mortgage Loan. With
respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of
knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty. 

A. Underwriting Guidelines. Each Mortgage Loan conforms to the specifications set forth by this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, the Underwriting Guidelines, and Buyer, Takeout Investor, Agency and insurer regulations, rules, guides and handbooks for loans eligible for sale to, insurance by or pooling to back securities issued or guaranteed by
such Takeout Investor, Buyer, Agency, or insurer. Each Conforming Mortgage Loan is eligible as collateral for Ginnie Mae mortgage backed securities or is eligible for purchase by an Agency. 

B. Mortgage Loans as Described. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct. 
 C. 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 Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at, or subsequent to, the time the
Mortgage Loan was originated. 
 D. Disbursement. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the
Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements have been complied with, and any disbursements of any escrow funds have been made. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid to the appropriate parties, the
mortgage insurance premium or the VA guarantee fee has been paid as applicable, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. 

E. Payments and Advances. Seller has not, and to the best of Seller’s knowledge no Person has, advanced
funds, or induced, solicited or received any advance of funds by a Person other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under or to obtain the Mortgage Loan, or any Tax, insurance, special assessment,
sewer, utility or similar payments with respect to the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor has made any down payment required in connection with the Mortgage Loan, and has received no concession from Seller, the seller of the Mortgaged Property or any













 
other third Person, except as clearly disclosed in the Mortgage File and in writing to Buyer. No subordinate financing was used in the Mortgagor’s acquisition of the property securing the
Mortgage Loan other than subordinate financing acceptable to Buyer, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, HUD, VA or applicable Takeout Investor pursuant to their requirements in effect at the time of purchase of the Mortgage Loan by the Buyer. 

F. Compliance with Requirements of Law. Any and all Requirements of Law, including, but not limited to,
usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure, unfair and deceptive practices laws, securities laws or privacy laws, applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been satisfied
and materially complied with, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any Requirements of Law. Seller shall maintain in its possession, available for Buyer’s inspection, and shall deliver
to Buyer upon reasonable demand, evidence of compliance with all Requirements of Law. 
 G.
Co-op Loan: Compliance with Law. With respect to each Co-op Loan, the related cooperative corporation that owns title to the related
cooperative apartment building is a “cooperative housing corporation” within the meaning of Section 216 of the Code, and is in material compliance with applicable Requirements of Law which, if not complied with, could have a material
adverse effect on the Mortgaged Property. 
 H. Mortgage Insurance. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there
are no defenses, counterclaims, or rights of setoff, or other facts or circumstances affecting the eligibility of the Mortgage Loans for insurance by an insurer, or affecting the validity or enforceability of any mortgage insurance or
mortgage guaranty with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of any act, error or omission of Seller or of any other Person including, but not limited to, the FHA insurance. Each HECM was underwritten in accordance with all FHA standards
applicable to reverse mortgages and is fully insurable by FHA, which insurance is in full force and effect or, if such insurance is not in full force and effect on the related Purchase Date, will be retroactive to the date such Mortgage Loan was
originated by Seller, and the Mortgage Loan is not subject to any defect that could diminish or impair the FHA insurance, and no circumstances exist with respect to any HECM that could permit the FHA to deny coverage, in whole or in part, under the
related FHA insurance. The related FHA policy calls for the assignment of the Mortgage Loan to FHA as opposed to the co-insurance option. The entire amount of the insurance premium has been paid to FHA in
accordance with the FHA Regulations and no portion of such premium is shared with or by Seller or, if the monthly premium option has been chosen for such Mortgage Loan, all such premiums due on or before the related Purchase Date have been duly and
timely paid. 
 I. Damage; Condemnation. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding
pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property and such Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the
Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan, the use for which the Mortgaged Property was intended or the eligibility of the Mortgage Loan for full payment of insurance benefits, and there are no pending or threatened proceedings for total
or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. Each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. Seller has completed any property inspections required by FHA Regulations, other Requirements of Law, and such inspections, if any, show no evidence of
property damage or deferred maintenance, unless the property damage and deferred maintenance was considered part of the initial Repair Set Aside Account disclosed in the Mortgage File at closing. 

J. Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage
File and consists of a single parcel or multiple contiguous parcels of real property with a detached single-family residence erected thereon, or a two-to-four-family
dwelling, a townhouse, or 












 
an individual condominium unit in a condominium, or a Co-op Unit, or an individual unit in a planned unit development, or an individual or a manufactured
home on owned or leased land; provided, however, that any condominium unit, Co-op Project or planned unit development conforms with Takeout Investor and insurer requirements with respect to such
dwellings, and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a unit in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) or a
Co-op Unit such condominium or planned unit development project is (i) acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or (ii) located in a condominium or planned unit development project which has received
project approval from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The representations and warranties required by Fannie Mae with respect to such condominium or planned unit development have been satisfied and remain true and correct. No portion of the Mortgaged
Property is used for commercial purposes provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and
is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. 

K. Leaseholds. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long term residential lease, (1) the lessor under
the lease holds a fee simple interest in the land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor’s consent and the acquisition by the holder of the
Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the terms of such lease do not (a) allow the termination thereof
upon the lessee’s default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction as long as the
Mortgage is in existence, (c) prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured (or receiving proceeds of insurance) under the hazard insurance policy or policies relating to the Mortgaged Property or (d) permit any increase in rent
other than pre-established increases set forth in the lease; (4) the original term of such lease is not less than 15 years; (5) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than five years after
the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates in transferring ownership in residential properties is a widely accepted practice. 

L. Good Title. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loan to the Buyer, the
Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Seller has good, indefeasible, and marketable title thereto, and Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note (and with respect to any Co-op Loan, the sole owner of the related Assignment of Proprietary Lease), free and clear of any and all Liens, of any nature, and there has been no other sale, transfer, or assignment of security interest granted
by the Seller to any other party, nor are there any other restrictions limiting the transfer of the Mortgage Loan, and Seller has full right, title and authority, subject to no interest or participation of, agreement with, or approval of, any other
Person, to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Buyer will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, Lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest. Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor each Mortgage Loan. 
 M.
Co-op Loan: No Pledge. With respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no prohibition against pledging the shares of the cooperative
corporation or assigning the Proprietary Lease. With respect to each Co-op Loan, (i) the term of the related Proprietary Lease is longer than the term of the Co-op
Loan, (ii) there is no provision in any Proprietary Lease which requires the Mortgagor to offer for sale the Co-op Shares owned by such Mortgagor first to the Co-op
Corporation, (iii) there is no prohibition in any Proprietary Lease against pledging the Co-op Shares or assigning the Proprietary Lease and (iv) the Recognition Agreement is on a form of agreement
published by Aztech Document Systems, Inc. as of the date hereof or includes provisions which are no less favorable to the lender than those contained in such agreement. 












 N. No Litigation. There is no pending and no threatened
litigation, which may affect in any way, by attachment or otherwise, the title or interest of the Seller in and to the Mortgage Loan, the property securing the Mortgage Loan, or any related note or security instrument. 

O. Mortgage File. The Mortgage File contains each of the documents and instruments required by the Custodial
Agreement and by applicable Requirements of Law or the related Takeout Investor or insurer requirements, duly executed and in due and proper form and each such document or instrument is genuine and in form acceptable to Takeout Investors and
insurers and the information contained therein is true, accurate and complete. The Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with Takeout Investor and insurer underwriting standards in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. 

P. Occupancy; Inspection. As of the Purchase Date, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under all
applicable Requirements of 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. 

Q. No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Loan, and all
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 and insurance
set-aside 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. 

R. Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note (and the Proprietary Lease and the Pledge
Instruments with respect to each Co-op Loan) and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument that has: (a) been recorded, if necessary to
protect the interests of Buyer; and (b) been delivered to the Custodian. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related mortgage insurance and the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and, as applicable, its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the issuer of any related private
mortgage insurance policy and the title insurer to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. 

S. 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.

 T. Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first Lien on 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 or that
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided; 

(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 lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and: (i) referred to or to otherwise considered in the
Appraisal relating to the Mortgage Loan; or (ii) that 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. 
 Any security agreement,
chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first priority Lien on the Mortgaged Property described therein and Seller
has full right to sell and assign the same to the Buyer in accordance with the Requirements of Law and any and all contractual obligations. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, unless otherwise
indicated, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a Lien subordinate to the Lien of the Mortgage. 

U. Co-op Loan: Valid First Lien. With respect to each Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, enforceable and subsisting first security interest on the related cooperative shares securing the related cooperative note and lease, subject only to
(a) liens of the cooperative for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property Taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and
other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the security
interest. There are no liens against or security interests in the cooperative shares relating to each Co-op Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments and other amounts owed to the related cooperative
which individually or in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Co-op Loan), which have priority equal to or over the Seller’s security interest in such Co-op Shares. 
 V. No Fraud. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other
agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any
other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such Persons. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for Mortgage Loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact nor do they
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence was committed in connection with
the origination of the Mortgage Loan. 
 W. Title Insurance. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA
lender’s title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California, a CLTA lender’s title insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy of
insurance, issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property 












 
is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns: (a) as to the first priority Lien of the Mortgage (for HECMs, in an amount equal to the Maximum Claim Amount as to each Mortgage
Loan); and (b) against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the Lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment with respect to each Adjustable
Rate Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b), and (c) of Part T of this Schedule 1. Where required by state Requirements of Law applicable to Seller, 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 Seller, and its
successors and assigns, are the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and 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 of the Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such
lender’s title insurance policy. With respect to each manufactured home, a search for filings of financing statements has been made by a company competent to do same and such search has not found anything which would materially and adversely
affect the Mortgage Loan secured by a manufactured home including, but not limited to, the priority of the Lien or perfection of the Mortgage Loan secured by a manufactured home. 

X. Hazard Insurance. For each Mortgage Loan, pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other
improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to the Buyer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, as are
provided for by Fannie Mae or by Freddie Mac, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Underwriting Guidelines. Mortgagor has obtained coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the least of the (i) full insurable value of
the improvements on the Mortgaged Property, (ii) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, or (iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. The policy either includes provisions for inflation
adjustments or guaranteed replacement cost coverage of the Mortgaged Property. In the case of flood insurance, Mortgagor has obtained the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. If upon
origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to all Requirements of Law and applicable insurer and Takeout Investor requirements. All individual
insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the
Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor. Where required by state Requirements of Law applicable to Seller, 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 the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the
benefit of Buyer upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s or any servicer’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the
coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either. 












 Y. No Default. The Mortgage Loan is current and all payments
have been made within the month such payments were due, 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 the Seller, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no
event that, 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. 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 the 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. 
 Z. No Mechanics’
Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar Liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such Liens) affecting the related Mortgaged
Property that are or may be Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the Lien of the related Mortgage. 
 AA. Location of
Improvements. All improvements that were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation. 

BB. Customary Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the
rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including: (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s
sale; and (b) 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 a Mortgagor that would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or
the right to foreclose the Mortgage. 
 CC. 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 Sections T and U of this Schedule 1. 

DD. Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under
the Requirements of Law and Takeout Investor and insurer requirements to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Buyer to the trustee
under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. 
 EE. Acceptable
Investment. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that would reasonably be expected to cause: (a) private
institutional investors or a Takeout Investor to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment; or (b) the Mortgage Loan to become a Delinquent Mortgage Loan or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan. 

FF. FICO Scores. Each Mortgage Loan has a non-zero FICO score. 












 GG. Due on Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision
for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder. 

HH. Co-op Loans: Acceleration of Payment. With respect to each Co-op Loan, each Assignment of Proprietary Lease contains enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization of the material benefits of the
security provided thereby. The Assignment of Proprietary Lease contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Note in the event the Co-op
Unit is transferred or sold without the consent of the holder thereof. 
 II. Origination and Collection Practices.
The origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of the Mortgage File, the Requirements of Law and any and all contractual
obligations of Seller (including those obligations contained in this Agreement), including the FHA Regulations relating to loss mitigation, and Takeout Investor or insurer guidelines, and have been in all respects legal, proper and prudent in the
mortgage origination and servicing business. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in compliance with applicable state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on the related adjustment date. Seller
executed and delivered any and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and any payment adjustments. All advances required to be made under the Mortgage
Notes have been made within the time frame therein specified and in accordance with the Mortgage File, FHA Regulations and Requirements of Law. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to applicable state, federal and local law has been properly
paid and credited. The terms of the Mortgage Loan do not require the owner of the Mortgage Loan to make escrow payments on behalf of the Mortgagor. All escrow deposits and escrow payments, if any, are in the possession of, or under the control of,
Seller or Subservicer and have been collected and handled in full compliance with all Requirements of Law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note. 

JJ. Appraisal. Except with respect to streamlined FHA Loans, VA Loans and USDA Loans originated in
accordance with Agency guidelines or except in the case where a property inspection has been delivered for the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with Agency guidelines, the Mortgage File contains an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property
signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation
is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the Appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, and all Requirements of Law and Takeout Investor or insurer requirements, each as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition which might indicate that the Appraisal
is incomplete or inaccurate. In addition, the Appraisal was prepared in accordance with USPAP Guidelines. The appraiser for the Mortgage Loan was duly licensed or certified under the applicable law where the Mortgage Loan was originated, and for
each Government Mortgage Loan was acceptable to the FHA or VA, as applicable, and for each Conventional Mortgage Loan was acceptable to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and/or the Takeout Investor, as applicable. The Seller will maintain documentation
evidencing each appraiser’s qualification and licensing or certification, which will promptly be provided to the Buyer upon request. 












 KK. 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 or any similar state statute or regulation. 

LL. Environmental Matters. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged
Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any
local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation. 
 MM. No Denial of Insurance. No action,
inaction, or event has occurred and no state of fact exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable pool insurance policy, special hazard insurance policy,
private mortgage insurance or other mortgage insurance policy, including, but not limited to FHA mortgage insurance, or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. 

NN. Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Loan, the Mortgage Note does not
contain a provision permitting or requiring conversion to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Loan. 
 OO. Reserved. 

PP. Flood Certification Contract. Seller has obtained a life of loan, transferable flood
certification contract for each Mortgage Loan with an Approved Flood Policy Insurer, and such contract is assignable to Buyer, and its successors and assigns, without cost. 

QQ. Underwriting and Origination. The Mortgage Loan was completely underwritten and originated by Seller or
a Qualified Originator. 
 RR. Reversed Mortgages. Without limiting any other applicable requirements and
representations and warranties hereunder, each HECM: (i) provides that any advance of principal increases the outstanding principal amount of related the Mortgage Loan and is secured by an interest in the same Mortgaged Property as the
related Mortgage Loan; (ii) provides for a principal limit that will at no time (measured either as of (a) time of origination of such Mortgage Loan or (b) if such Mortgage Loan has been modified other than as a result of a default or
reasonably foreseeable default, the time of such modification) exceed the Maximum Claim Amount; (iii) contains provisions that do not permit recourse against the Mortgagor; (iv) provides that all payments due under the Mortgage Loan are
due only upon the date on which a Maturity Event occurs; and (v) provides for certain Maturity Events that are in accordance with FHA Regulations. With respect to each HECM, no Maturity Event (or any other event that would otherwise cause the

respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the relevant Government Mortgage Loan or State Agency Program Loan guidelines do not allow for the use of the MERS System). 












 TT. Repairs and Improvements. All repairs or improvements which
if not made would result in the loss of any insurance coverage, including FHA insurance, on the related Mortgaged Property have been made to such Mortgaged Property, or set-aside amounts for such
repairs or improvements have been included in the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note, all in compliance with the Requirements of Law, including, but not limited to, the applicable requirements of FHA Regulations. Except as otherwise disclosed in
writing to Buyer, any repairs for which an advance has been made were completed and passed an inspection in accordance with the FHA Regulations.

lending practices, including, without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the ability of the Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination of the
Mortgage Loan. 
 AAA. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied with all applicable
anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”) with respect to the Mortgage Loans; Seller has established an anti-money
laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws as applicable as of the
origination date, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify
the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws. 
 BBB. Purchase of Insurance. No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life, disability, accident or
health insurance policy in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such
Mortgage Loan. 












 CCC. Governmental Requirements. Each Government Mortgage Loan
conforms with all applicable FHA, VA, USDA, or HUD underwriting, lending, selling and servicing requirements and with all Ginnie Mae requirements for the inclusion of the Mortgage Loan in a Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed security pool, and the
Seller will comply with all documentation requirements of the Buyer and the document custodian within the time limitations described in the Facility Documents. If a Takeout Commitment requires the Mortgage Loan to be
FHA-insured, the Mortgage Loan is fully eligible for FHA insurance and is, or within 60 days after disbursement of the proceeds by the Seller will be, fully insured by the FHA. If a Takeout Commitment requires
the Mortgage Loan to be guaranteed by VA, the Mortgage Loan is fully-eligible for VA guaranty, and is, or within 60 days after disbursement of the proceeds by the Seller will be, fully guaranteed by VA. If a Takeout Commitment requires the Mortgage
Loan to be guaranteed by USDA, the Mortgage Loan is fully-eligible for USDA guaranty, and is, or within 60 days after disbursement of the proceeds by the Seller will be, fully guaranteed by USDA. If a Takeout Commitment requires the Mortgage Loan to
be guaranteed by HUD, the Mortgage Loan is fully-eligible for HUD guaranty, and is, or within 60 days after disbursement of the proceeds by the Seller will be, fully guaranteed by HUD. 

DDD. Conventional Mortgage Loan Requirements. Each Conventional Mortgage Loan conforms with all applicable
requirements of the Buyer, Agencies or applicable Takeout Investor, including, but not limited to, all requirements for the inclusion of such Conventional Mortgage Loans in any pool of loans or private security as designated by the Buyer, Freddie
Mac and Fannie Mae, and each Conventional Mortgage Loan conforms with all pooling requirements of the Agency or Takeout Investor. If a Takeout Commitment requires the Mortgage Loan to be insured by a policy of private mortgage insurance, the
Mortgage Loan is fully eligible and qualified to be insured by such policy of private mortgage insurance, such policy is in full force and effect, and no event or condition exists which could give rise to or result in a revocation of or defense to
the policy. 
 EEE. No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. Except with respect to
Agency Mortgage Loans, 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. 
 FFF. Regarding the Mortgagor. The
Mortgagor is one or more natural persons and/or trustees for an Illinois land trust or a trustee under a “living trust” and such “living trust” is in compliance with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines for such trusts.

 GGG. High Interest Rate Credit/Lending Transactions. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to section
226.32 of Regulation Z or any similar state Requirements of Law (relating to high interest rate credit/lending transactions). 
 HHH.
Qualified Mortgage. (i) Before the consummation of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller made a reasonable and good faith determination that the Mortgagor has a reasonable ability to repay the Purchased Mortgage
Loan according to its terms, and at a minimum, Seller underwrote such Purchased Mortgage Loan in accordance with the eight underwriting factors set forth in 12 CFR 1026.43(c); and (ii) other than with respect to any Purchase Loan that is not a
“Qualified Mortgage” but that regardless qualifies as an Approved Mortgage Product in accordance with the terms of the Pricing Letter, each Purchased Mortgage Loan is a “Qualified Mortgage” as defined in 12 CFR 1026.43(e), and in
particular: (A) each Purchased Mortgage Loan provides for regular, substantially equal periodic payments (allowing for payment changes on adjustable rate mortgages or loans with step rate features) and does not result in negative amortization, allow
the consumer to defer repayment of principal or result in balloon payments; (B) the loan term does not exceed 30 years and (C) for Purchased Mortgage Loans with note amounts of $100,000 or greater, the total points and fees do not exceed 3% of
the total loan amount.
