 SECTION 2 

BORROWINGS 

Section 2.1 Borrowings. 

(a) Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make one or more revolving credit loans to
Borrower from time to time from the date hereof to and including the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to but not exceeding the amount of the Commitment, provided that the aggregate amount of all
Borrowings at any time outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of the Commitment and (ii) the Borrowing Base. Subject to the foregoing limitations, and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may
borrow, repay, and reborrow hereunder. No Loan shall be funded or held with “plan assets” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA. 

(i) The Revolving Credit Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Borrowings and interest thereon shall be evidenced by the
Revolving Credit Note executed by Borrower, and payable to the order of Lender, in the principal amount of the Commitment as originally in effect. 

(ii) Repayment of Borrowings. Borrower shall repay the unpaid principal amount of all Borrowings on the Termination Date, unless sooner
due by reason of acceleration by Lender as provided in this Agreement. 
 (iii) Interest. The unpaid principal amount of the
Borrowings shall, subject to the following sentence, bear interest as provided in the Revolving Credit Note. If at any time the rate of interest specified in the Revolving Credit Note would exceed the Maximum Rate but for the provisions thereof
limiting interest to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction shall not reduce the rate of interest on the Borrowings below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on the Borrowings equals the aggregate amount of
interest which would have accrued on the Borrowings if the interest rate had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Borrowings shall be payable as provided in the Revolving Credit Note and on the Termination Date.

 (iv) Borrowing Procedure. Borrower shall give Lender notice of each Borrowing by means of a Borrowing Request Form containing the
information required therein and delivered (by hand or by mechanically confirmed facsimile) to Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the day on which the Borrowing is desired to be funded. Lender at its option may accept telephonic
requests for such Borrowings, provided that such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require delivery of a Borrowing Request Form in connection with subsequent Borrowings. Any telephonic request for a Borrowing
by Borrower shall be promptly confirmed by submission of a properly completed Borrowing Request Form to Lender, but failure to deliver a Borrowing Request Form shall not be a defense to payment of the Borrowing. Lender shall have no liability to
Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a result of Lender’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically, by facsimile or
electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by Borrower and Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each Borrowing shall be made available to Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of Borrower designated by Borrower maintained with Lender at the Principal Office. If, after giving effect to a
requested Borrowing, there is a Borrowing Base Deficiency, or if the Lender determines (either then or on any later day in the course of reviewing the same) that the Borrowing Request 

  

					
		 	18	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 
Form submitted to it is incomplete or incorrect in any material respect, then the Lender shall withhold the entire Borrowing until Borrower shall have demonstrated to the Lender’s reasonable
satisfaction that such Borrowing Request Form is in fact not (or is no longer) incomplete or incorrect in any material respect. 

Section 2.2 General Provisions Regarding Interest; Etc. 

(a) Default Interest Rate. Any outstanding principal of any Borrowing and (to the fullest extent permitted by law) any other amount
payable by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise) shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate for the period from and including the
due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Additionally, at any time that an Event of Default exists, all outstanding and unpaid principal amounts of all of the Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear
interest at the Default Interest Rate. Interest payable at the Default Interest Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 (b)
Computation of Interest. Interest on the Borrowings and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day) unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. 

Section 2.3 Servicer Deposit Account. On each Payment Date under the Revolving Note, Lender shall pay to Borrower, in respect of
the funds held in Servicer’s Deposit Account, an amount (the “Interest Credit”) equal to the product of (i) the number of days elapsed since the preceding Payment Date divided by 365, (ii) 60 basis points, and
(iii) the average amount of funds kept on deposit in Servicer’s Deposit Account during the period elapsed since such preceding Payment Date. 

Section 2.4 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Borrowings shall be used by Borrower for (a) acquiring mortgage servicing
rights and assets related thereto and (b) other working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Borrower. 

Section 2.5 Extension of Termination Date. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (a) or on the Termination Date, Borrower may extend the Termination Date to a date that is three hundred and sixty-four (364) days after the then-effective Termination Date,
no more than two times, upon: (a) delivery of a written request therefor to Lender at least thirty (30) days, but no more than sixty (60) days, prior to the Termination Date then in effect; and (b) receipt by the Lender of a
certificate of Borrower dated the date of such request stating that (i) no Default or Event of Default then exists and is continuing and (ii) Borrower is in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.
Such extension shall be evidenced by delivery of written confirmation of the same by Lender to Borrower. 
 SECTION 3 

PAYMENTS 

Section 3.1 Method of Payment. Subject to Section 3.3, all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts
to be made by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made to Lender at the Principal Office in Dollars and immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, and free and clear of all taxes at the
time and in the manner provided in the Revolving Credit Note. 
 Section 3.2 Prepayments. 

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Note to the extent and in the manner provided
for therein. 

  

					
		 	19	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 (b) Mandatory Prepayment. If at any time the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving
Credit Note exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect (a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), then Borrower shall immediately prepay the entire amount of such excess to Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time any of
the following events occurs (each such event, a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”), then, at the option of the Lender, Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loan in whole or in part prior to or simultaneously with such
Mandatory Prepayment Event: (i) the consummation of an Organic Change; or (ii) the occurrence of a Change of Control. Borrower shall give written notice to Lender of any Mandatory Prepayment Event not less than fifteen (15) nor more
than sixty (60) days prior to the proposed closing date thereof, describing in reasonable detail such transaction and the proposed closing date. Upon receipt of such notice, Lender shall have a period of fifteen (15) days in which to
notify Borrower of the principal amount of the Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of such notice from Lender, Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall prepay, on the closing date of such transaction, the Loan or a portion thereof
subject to prepayment. 
 Section 3.3 Taxes 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any this Agreement shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a
withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and,
if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the applicable recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) 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 3.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by 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 (b) (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. 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. 

(c) 
 (i) Any Lender that
is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without 

  

					
		 	20	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender 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 Section 3.3(c)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(1) any Lender that is a Person that is a “United States Person,” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S.
Person”), shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (2) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (A) in the case of a Lender
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, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or 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, IRS Form W-8BEN or 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 originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(C) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the

Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or 
 (D) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals

Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (3) if a payment
made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 
 Lender 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 the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 The security interest created by this financing statement is subject and subordinate to all
rights, powers and prerogatives of one or more of the following: Freddie Mac, under, and in connection with, the Mortgage Selling and Servicing Contract and all applicable Pool Purchase Contracts between Freddie Mac and the Selling Guide, Servicing
Guide, and other Guides, as each of such Guides is amended from time to time (collectively, the “Agency Contract”) which rights, powers, and prerogatives includes, without limitation, the right of Freddie Mac to terminate the
Agency Contract with or without cause and the right to sell, or have transferred, the Agency Servicing Rights as therein provided. 

Section 4.3 Acknowledgment Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, all terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of each Acknowledgement Agreement. To the extent that any conflict necessarily exists or shall be adjudged to
exist between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and those of an applicable Acknowledgment Agreement, solely with respect to the relationship and agreements between Borrower, Lender and a Designated Agency, the terms and provisions of such
Acknowledgment Agreement shall govern and control. 
 Section 4.4 Lender Requires Acknowledgment Agreements. Pledged Agency
Servicing Rights under Servicing Agreements with any Agency will have a Market Value of zero for purposes of determining Collateral Value until the date on which an Acknowledgment Agreement covering such Pledged Agency Servicing Rights has been
executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower, the Lender and such Agency.

 Section 4.5 Further Assurances Concerning Collateral. In furtherance of the
foregoing, Borrower hereby agrees to perform, or cause to be performed, such acts and duly to authorize, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record (or cause such actions to be taken with respect to) such financing statements, assignments,
security agreements, deeds of trust, mortgages, bond powers and supplements, modifications or amendments to any of them, and such other papers as the Lender may reasonably request in order to establish and preserve the priority of, perfect and
protect the Liens granted or intended to be granted to the Lender in and to any and all such Collateral and to preserve and protect the Lender’s rights in respect of all present and future Collateral for the Obligations. 

Section 4.6 Financing Statements Filing Authorization. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender, at any time and from
time to time, to file at Borrower’s cost and expense in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and continuations thereof and amendments thereto, including amendments to update the lists of Pledged Servicing
Receivables Agreements and Pledged Servicing Agreements attached as exhibits to such financing statements whenever such lists are updated, that (a) indicate the Servicing Collateral, regardless of whether any particular asset in the Servicing
Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC, and (b) provide any other information required for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. Borrower agrees to furnish any such information
to the Lender promptly upon the Lender’s request. 
 Section 4.7 Borrower Remains Liable. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower expressly agrees that it shall (a) remain liable under each of the Pledged Servicing Receivables Agreements and Pledged Servicing Agreements and related agreements included in the Servicing
Collateral to keep, observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be kept, observed and performed by Borrower (or any predecessor in interest) thereunder and (b) perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder, all in
accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions of each such agreement. The Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under any such agreement by reason of, or arising out of, this Agreement or the granting to the Lender of a Lien
therein or the receipt by the Lender of any payment relating to any such agreement. 
 Section 4.8 Rights after Occurrence of
Default. After the occurrence of any Event of Default that the Lender has not declared in writing to have been cured or waived, the Lender shall have the following rights (but no obligations): 

(a) in its discretion, to demand, sue for, collect or receive and receipt for (in its own name, in the name of Borrower or otherwise)
any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of any of the Collateral, in consideration of its transfer or in exchange for it; 

(b) to direct, and to take any and all other steps necessary to cause, any Servicer of any of the Collateral to pay over directly to the
Lender for the account of Borrower (instead of to Borrower or any other Person) all sums from time to time due to Borrower and to take any and all other actions that Borrower or the Lender has the right to take under Borrower’s contract with
such Servicer; 
 (c) to request that Borrower forthwith pay to the Lender at its Principal Office all amounts thereafter received by
Borrower upon or in respect of any of the Collateral, advising the Lender as to the sources of such funds, and if the Lender does so request, then Borrower shall diligently and continuously thereafter comply with such request. 

  

					
		 	26	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 (d) All amounts so received and collected by the Lender shall be paid or applied to pay
(i) fees owing under the Loan Documents, (ii) the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in collecting or enforcing the Revolving Credit Note and the other Loan Documents, defending against any claims made in respect of the
Loan Documents or any related transactions, protecting or realizing on Collateral and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on and principal of the Revolving Credit Note; and 

(e) Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a non-exclusive license to use Borrower’s operating systems to manage and administer the
Pledged Agency Servicing Rights and any of the data and information relating thereto, together with the media that is owned by Borrower and on which the same are stored to the extent stored with material information or data that relates to property
other than the Pledged Agency Servicing Rights (tapes, discs, cards, drives, flash memory or any other kind of physical or virtual data or information storage media or systems, and Borrower’s rights to access the same, whether exclusive or
nonexclusive, to the extent that such access rights may lawfully be transferred or used by Borrower’s permittees), and any computer programs that are owned by Borrower (or licensed to Borrower under licenses that may lawfully be transferred or
used by Borrower’s permittees) and that are used to access, organize, input, read, print or otherwise output and otherwise handle or use such information and data, in each case effective solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, to the extent necessary to enable Lender to realize on the Collateral and any permitted successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. Such license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any
monetary payment whatsoever including, without limitation, any royalty or license fee, be made to Borrower or any other Person by Lender or any other Person. Such license shall automatically terminate upon (i) the termination of this Agreement
or (ii) payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Note; 
 provided, however, that any and all rights and
remedies of the Lender in this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the prior rights of a Designated Agency as to Collateral subject to an Acknowledgment Agreement with such Designated Agency, and in the event the enforcement by the
Lender of any of its rights and remedies under this Article 4 or Article 10 could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely conflict with the provisions of an applicable Acknowledgment Agreement with respect to
the Collateral subject to the Acknowledgment Agreement, the restrictions imposed under the Acknowledgment Agreement shall control. 

Section 4.9 Attorney-In-Fact Appointment. Borrower hereby appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact to take all such steps in
its name and behalf as are necessary or appropriate to (i) request that any Pledged Agency Servicing Right related to any Agency or any other investor be transferred to the Lender or to another approved servicer approved such Agency or such
other investor (as the case may be) and perform (without assuming or being deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of Borrower thereunder) all aspects of each servicing contract that is Collateral, (ii) request distribution to the Lender
of sale proceeds or any applicable contract termination fees arising from the sale or termination of such servicing rights and remaining after satisfaction of Borrower’s relevant obligations to such Agency or such other investor (as the case
may be), including costs and expenses related to any such sale or transfer of such servicing rights and other amounts due for unmet obligations of Borrower to such Agency or such other investor (as the case may be) under applicable Agency Guideline
or such other investor’s contract, (iii) deal with investors and any and all subservicers and master servicers in respect of any of the Servicing Collateral in the same manner and with the same effect as if done by Borrower and
(iv) take any action and execute any instruments that the Lender deems necessary or advisable to accomplish any of such purposes, and such appointment shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest


  

					
		 	27	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 
and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Obligations shall be unpaid or Lender shall have any outstanding commitment to lend or to extend any other financial accommodations to or for
the account of Borrower. Such appointment shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any Person (including the issuer of such
Collateral or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
 Section 4.10
Periodic Valuations of Agency Servicing Rights. The value of all Pledged Agency Servicing Rights to the Lender shall be periodically determined as provided in Section 7.14 by an Approved Servicing Appraiser and the Borrowing
Base shall be adjusted to reflect each such determination and updating of the value of such Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Lender shall have the right, exercisable from time to time
(daily or less often) in its sole discretion on any day after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default to mark the Pledged Agency Servicing Rights to market, whereupon, for purposes of determining the Collateral Value for
that day (and for each day thereafter until it shall thereafter be evaluated or re-evaluated by such an approved appraiser or broker or again marked to market by the Lender) such Pledged Agency Servicing Rights shall be equal to 50.0% of its Market
Value on that day (which the parties acknowledge may be nominal). Borrower acknowledges that a determination by the Lender of Market Value pursuant to this Agreement is for the limited purpose of determining Collateral Value for lending purposes
under this Agreement without the ability to perform customary purchaser’s due diligence and is not necessarily equivalent to a determination of the fair market value of Collateral achieved by obtaining competing bids in an orderly market in
which the servicer is not in default, insolvent or the subject of a case in bankruptcy and the bidders have adequate opportunity to perform customary diligence. 

Section 4.11 Collections in General. After the occurrence of any Event of Default that the Lender has not declared in writing to
have been cured or waived, the Lender shall have the right (but no obligation) in its sole discretion to take any or all of the following actions with respect to the Collateral, which rights are in addition to, and not in derogation or in lieu of,
any other rights available to a secured creditor under any applicable law, rule, or regulation or any order, writ, injunction, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator: 

(a) Demand, sue for, collect or receive and receipt for (in its own name, in the name of Borrower or otherwise) any money or property at
any time payable or receivable on account of any of the Collateral, in consideration of its transfer or in exchange for it; 
 (b)
Request Borrower to pay over to the Lender all sums from time to time due Borrower under or in respect of the Pledged Servicing Agreements and any amounts paid to Borrower in respect of any Pledged Servicing Receivables, including any and all
fees and other compensation under the Pledged Servicing Agreements for servicing the Serviced Loans and all amounts paid to or collectable by Borrower to pay Servicing Receivables, whether paid to Borrower or withheld or recovered by Borrower from
collections and realizations on such Serviced Loans or any other source, and to take any and all other actions that, subject to any restrictions imposed by the relevant Pledged Servicing Agreement or Pledged Servicing Receivables Agreement for the
benefit of the party to it on whose behalf the Serviced Loans are being serviced (to the extent that such restrictions are valid and enforceable under the applicable UCC and other Laws), Borrower or the Lender has the right to take under that
Servicing Agreement, and if the Lender does so request, then Borrower shall diligently and continuously thereafter comply with such request; and 

(c) Request that Borrower forthwith pay to the Lender at its principal office all amounts thereafter received by Borrower upon or in
respect of any of the Servicing Collateral, whether paid to Borrower or withheld or recovered by Borrower from collections and realizations on the Serviced Loans or any other source, advising the Lender as to the source of such funds, and if the
Lender does so request, then Borrower shall diligently and continuously thereafter comply with such request. 

  

					
		 	28	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 All amounts so received and collected by the Lender pursuant to this Section 4.11 shall be
applied in the same order and manner as is specified in Section 10.3.  
 Section 4.12 Setoff. If an
Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right to set off and apply against the Obligations in such manner as Lender may determine, at any time and without notice to Borrower or any Obligated Party, any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) or other sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender to Borrower or any Obligated Party whether or not the Obligations are then due. As further security for the Obligations, Borrower and each Obligated
Party hereby grant to Lender a security interest in all money, instruments, and other Property of Borrower and each Obligated Party now or hereafter held by Lender, but expressly excluding Property held in escrow on behalf of Customers or in
safekeeping for delivery to an Agency. In addition to Lender’s right of setoff and as further security for the Obligations, Borrower and each Obligated Party hereby grant to Lender a security interest in all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final) and other accounts of Borrower or any Obligated Party now or hereafter on deposit with or held by Lender and all other sums at any time credited by or owing from Lender to Borrower or any Obligated Party. The rights
and remedies of Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which Lender may have. 

Section 4.13 Schedules 4.1(a)(1), 4.1(a)(2) and 4.1(b). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall (a) list Agency Servicing
Rights that are Pledged to Lender on Schedule 4.1(a)(2) and (b) list Servicing Receivables that are Pledged to Lender on Schedule 4.1(b). Borrower shall, along with each Borrowing Base Report, deliver to Lender any
updates to Schedule 4.1(a)(2) and Schedule 4.1(b).

or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The proceeds of any Borrowing will be used by Borrower solely for the purposes specified in Section 2.4. None of
such proceeds will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock”, or to reduce or retire any indebtedness originally incurred to purchase or carry “margin stock” or for any other purpose that might constitute this transaction a
“purpose credit” within the meaning of such Regulation U. Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stocks. Neither Borrower nor any Person acting on behalf of Borrower has

violate Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation thereunder, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereinafter be in effect. Borrower and its Affiliates own no “margin stock” except for
that described in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.2 and, as of the date hereof, the aggregate value of all “margin stock” owned by Borrower and its Affiliates does not exceed twenty-five percent
(25%) of all of the value of all of Borrower’s and its Affiliates’ assets.

extent that it would not result in a Material Adverse Event, (a) each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS (or may rely on a favorable opinion letter
issued by the IRS) or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the knowledge of Borrower or any Obligated Party, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such
qualification, (b) no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan, (c) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower or

occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan and (i) no Obligated Party or ERISA Affiliate has engaged
in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA. 
 Section 6.12 Disclosure. No statement,
information, report, representation, or warranty made by Borrower or any other Obligated Party in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or furnished to Lender in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact known to Borrower or any Obligated Party which is a Material Adverse Event, or
which might in the future be a Material Adverse Event that has not been disclosed in writing to Lender.

Schedule 6.13 has been validly issued, is fully paid, and is nonassessable. There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments of any nature relating to any equity interests of
Borrower. 
 Section 6.14 Agreements. Neither Borrower nor any Obligated Party is a party to any indenture, loan, or credit
agreement, or to any lease or other agreement or instrument, or subject to any charter or limited liability, corporate or other organizational restriction, in each case which could result in a Material Adverse Event. Neither Borrower nor any
Obligated Party is in default in any respect in the performance, observance, or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants, or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument material to its business to which it is a party. No holder of
Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s debt or other obligations has given notice of any asserted default that could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Event. No liquidation or dissolution of Borrower is pending or, to


  

					
		 	33	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 
Borrower’s knowledge, threatened and no liquidation or dissolution of any Subsidiary is pending or threatened that could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Event. No
receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceedings relative to Borrower or any of its properties is pending, or to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened. No receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other

 Section 6.17 Environmental Matters. 

(a) Borrower and each Obligated Party, and all of its respective Properties, assets, and operations are in full compliance with all
applicable Environmental Laws, except for any noncompliance that would not result in a Material Adverse Event. Neither Borrower nor the Obligated Parties are aware of, nor have Borrower or any Obligated Party, received notice of, any past, present,
or future conditions, events, activities, practices, or incidents which would reasonably be expected to interfere with or prevent the compliance or continued compliance of Borrower and the Obligated Parties with all Environmental Laws and that would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Event;

qualifier contained therein) when made or deemed to have been made; provided that if any of the Company’s representations in Section 6.23 (titled “Special Representations Concerning Collateral”) for any reason shall
be (or shall prove to have been) untrue or incorrect, then such untruth or incorrectness shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default, although, such untruth or incorrectness will result in the affected items of Collateral each thereupon

		 	45	 	 Credit and Security Agreement










 (h) A default or event of default occurs with respect to any document that evidences any

Event occurs with respect to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or (ii) any Prohibited Transaction involving any Plan; and in each case above, such event or condition, together with all other events or conditions, if any, have subjected or could in
the reasonable opinion of Lender subject Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to any tax, penalty, or other liability to a Plan, a Multiemployer Plan, the PBGC, the IRS, the U. S. Department of Labor, or otherwise (or any combination thereof) which in
the aggregate exceed or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Event;

Change shall occur; 
 (l) Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Obligated Party, or any of their properties, revenues, or assets,

(ii) after which Borrower or any such relevant subservicer would no longer be in good standing as such, or (iii) after which Borrower or any such relevant subservicer would no longer 

  

					
		 	46	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 
currently satisfy all applicable Agency’s net worth requirements, if all of the material effects of such act or omission shall have not been cured by Borrower or waived by the relevant
Agency before termination of such status; 
 (q) Borrower’s rights to service Mortgage Loans for any one or more investors under
Servicing Agreements the value of which rights to Borrower (as reasonably estimated by the Lender) equals or exceeds 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Borrower’s Servicing Portfolio shall be terminated for cause (i.e., on
account of act(s) or omission(s) by Borrower for which the holder, or a trustee for the holder, of the relevant Serviced Loans has the right under such Servicing Agreement to terminate such servicing rights); 

(r) Freddie Mac terminates any Agency Servicing Right or Servicing Agreement related to the Collateral that has been Pledged to Lender;
or 
 (s) A Servicer Downgrade Event has occurred. 

Section 10.2 Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then Lender may without notice
terminate the Commitment or declare the Obligations or any part thereof to be immediately due and payable, or both, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without notice, demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of
acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default under Section 10.1(e) or (f), the Commitment shall automatically terminate, and the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, in each case without notice, demand, presentment, notice of
dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, protest, or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. In addition to the foregoing, if any Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, Lender may exercise all rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity, under the Loan Documents, or otherwise. 

Section 10.3 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 10.2 (or after the
Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by Lender in such order as it elects in its sole discretion. 

Section 10.4 Performance by Lender. If Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement contained in any of the Loan
Documents, then Lender may perform or attempt to perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of Borrower. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender any amount expended by Lender in connection with such
performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from and including the date of such expenditure to but excluding the date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, agreement, or other obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

SECTION 11

advisors, consultants, and auditors for Lender; (c) all transfer, stamp, documentary, or other similar taxes, assessments, or charges levied by any Governmental Authority in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

liquidating, or otherwise disposing of the Collateral or other assets of Borrower. 
 Section 11.2 INDEMNIFICATION. BORROWER
SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS,
DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO (A) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, ADMINISTRATION, OR
ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (B) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (C) ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, OR OTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS,
(D) THE PRESENCE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, DISPOSAL, REMOVAL, OR CLEANUP OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIAL LOCATED ON, ABOUT, WITHIN, OR AFFECTING ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OR ASSETS OF BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATED PARTY,
OR (E) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES,
JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE CONTRIBUTORY OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON. 

Section 11.3 Limitation of Liability. Neither Lender nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender
shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower or any other Obligated
Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases,
and agrees not to sue Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 

Section 11.4 No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender
shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Borrower or any of Borrower’s equity holders,
Affiliates, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, or any other Person. 
 Section 11.5 Lender Not Fiduciary. The relationship
between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship
between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor. 

  

					
		 	48	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 Section 11.6 Equitable Relief. Borrower recognizes that in the event Borrower fails
to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Obligations, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender. Borrower therefore agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. 
 Section 11.7 No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. 
 Section 11.8 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and Borrower and its successors and assigns, except that Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, duties, or obligations under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender. 
 Section 11.9 Survival. All representations and warranties
made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and no investigation
by Lender or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Lender to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of Borrower hereunder, the obligations of Borrower under Sections
11.1, and 11.2 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and termination of the Commitment. 
 Section 11.10
Amendment. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. 

Section 11.11 Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder

other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. All such other notices and other communications shall be deemed to have been given or made upon the earliest to occur of (a) actual receipt by the intended

sent; and (iv) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of the last sentence below), when delivered; provided, however, that notices and other communications pursuant to
Section 2 shall not be effective until actually received by Lender. Electronic mail and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information, and to distribute
Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose. 
 Section 11.12 Governing Law;
Venue; Service of Process. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS; PROVIDED THAT LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS UNDER FEDERAL LAW. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO IN DALLAS

DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF THE 

  

					
		 	49	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 
LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE BROUGHT IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.
BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH LAWSUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH
COURT, AND (C) FURTHER WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT
REQUESTED AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES REFERENCED IN SECTION 11.11 HEREOF. 
 Section 11.13 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

Section 11.14 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Agreement and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision held to be invalid or illegal.

Currency (whether the actual or proposed participant or assignee is subject to the circular or not). 
 Section 11.17
Construction. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrower and Lender. 
 Section 11.18
Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise
within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists. 

Section 11.19 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF
LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.19. 

  

					
		 	50	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 Section 11.20 Additional Interest Provision. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to
be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note, any Loan Document, and the Related
Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under applicable law). If the applicable law is ever judicially
interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (a) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Revolving Credit Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and
Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (b) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the
Revolving Credit Note and/or any and all indebtedness paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to any Loan Document other than the Revolving Credit Note (such other indebtedness being referred to in this Section as the “Related
Indebtedness”), or (c) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s
express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the
Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if the Revolving Credit Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Revolving Credit Note and the other
Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the
recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Revolving Credit Note or Related Indebtedness has been paid in full before the end of the stated term thereof, then Borrower and Lender
agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess
interest against the Revolving Credit Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written
notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such
excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Revolving Credit Note to which the alleged violation relates and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial
method, throughout the stated term of the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Revolving Credit
Note and/or the Related Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Revolving Credit Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of
Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Revolving Credit Note and/or any of the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such
acceleration. 

  

					
		 	51	 	Credit and Security Agreement









 Section 11.21 Ceiling Election. To the extent that Lender is relying on
Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Rate payable on the Revolving Credit Note and/or any other portion of the Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such
Chapter 303. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such
Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the
Maximum Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. 

Section 11.22 USA Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and each other Obligated Party, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and each other Obligated Party and other information that will allow Lender to
identify Borrower and each other Obligated Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, Borrower agrees to (a) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is or
shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the OFAC, the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Order, (b) not to use or permit the use of proceeds of the
Obligations to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of the OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, or cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with the applicable laws. 

Section 11.23 NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

constitute interest under applicable law. Each change in any interest rate provided for herein based upon the Maximum Rate resulting from a change in the Maximum Rate shall take effect without notice to Borrower at the time of such change in the

 1.2. Rules of Construction. Any capitalized term used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Credit Agreement. All terms used herein, whether or not defined in Section 1.1 hereof, and whether used in singular or plural form, shall be deemed to refer to the object of such term

	2.	PAYMENT TERMS 

 2.1. Payment of Principal and Interest; Revolving Nature. Interest
shall accrue during each Interest Period on the principal balance of this Note at the Note Rate for such Interest Period. All accrued but unpaid interest on the principal balance of this Note outstanding from time to time with respect to a calendar
month shall be payable on the Payment Date immediately following the end of such calendar month. The then outstanding principal balance of this Note and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Termination Date or upon
the earlier maturity hereof, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount stated above. The outstanding principal balance of this Note at any time shall be
the total amount advanced hereunder by Lender less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by Lender or otherwise noted in Lender’s records, which notations shall
be, absent manifest error, conclusive evidence of the amounts owing hereunder from time to time. 
 2.2. Application. Except
as expressly provided herein to the contrary, all payments on this Note shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) the payment or reimbursement of any expenses, costs or obligations (other than the outstanding principal balance
hereof and interest hereon) for which Borrower shall be obligated or Lender shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Note or the other Loan Documents; (b) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest with respect to any advances; and
(c) the payment of all or any portion of the principal balance hereof then outstanding hereunder, in the direct order of maturity. If an Event of Default exists under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, then Lender may, at the
sole option of Lender, apply any such payments, at any time and from time to time, to any of the items specified in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above without regard to the order of priority
otherwise specified in this Section 2.2 and any application to the outstanding principal balance hereof may be made in either direct or inverse order of maturity. 

2.3. Payments. All payments under this Note made to Lender shall be made in immediately available funds at 2515 McKinney Avenue, Suite
1100, Dallas, Texas 75201 (or at such other place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower from time to time), without offset, in lawful money of the United States of
America, which shall at the time of payment be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private. 

  
 4 








 
Payments by check or draft shall not constitute payment in immediately available funds until the required amount is actually received by Lender in full. Payments in immediately available funds
received by Lender in the place designated for payment on a Business Day prior to 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) at such place of payment shall be credited prior to the close of business on the Business Day received, while payments received by
Lender on a day other than a Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on a Business Day shall not be credited until the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due and payable on a
day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any such extension of time for payment shall be included in computing interest which has accrued and shall be payable in connection with such
payment. 
 2.4. Computation Period. Interest on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be computed on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360) day year and shall accrue on the actual number of days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated. In computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are
initially advanced shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day on which funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to the close of business on the Business Day received as provided in
Section 2.3 hereof. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

2.5. Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to prepay, at any time and from time to time upon at least five (5) Business Days
prior written notice to Lender, without fee, premium or penalty, all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof; provided, however, that such prepayment shall also include any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the amount
of principal being so prepaid through and including the date of prepayment, plus any other sums which have become due to Lender under the other Loan Documents on or before the date of prepayment, but which have not been fully paid. 

2.6. Unconditional Payment. Borrower is obligated to pay all principal, interest and any and all other amounts which become payable
under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any abatement, postponement, diminution or deduction whatsoever and without any reduction for counterclaim or setoff whatsoever. If at any time any
payment received by Lender hereunder shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any Debtor Relief Law, then the obligation to make such payment shall survive any
cancellation or satisfaction of this Note or return thereof to Borrower and shall not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of this Note, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance
with the terms and provisions hereof, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand. 
 2.7. Partial or Incomplete
Payments. Remittances in payment of any part of this Note other than in the required amount in immediately available funds at the place where this Note is payable shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment
until the required amount is actually received by Lender in full in accordance herewith and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any payments made by check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of
the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the full amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event
of Default in the payment of this Note. 
 2.8. Default Interest Rate. For so long as any Event of Default exists under this Note or
under any of the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and at all times after the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (whether by acceleration or
otherwise), and in addition to all other rights and remedies of 

  
 5 








 
Lender hereunder, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance hereof at the Default Interest Rate, and such accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower
acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Lender’s actual damages resulting from any late payment or Event of Default, and such late charges and accrued interest are reasonable estimates of those damages
and do not constitute a penalty. 
 2.9. Late Charge. At the option of Lender, Borrower will pay Lender, on demand (i) a
“late charge” equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any installment on this Note when such installment is not paid within fifteen (15) days following the date such installment is due and (ii) a processing fee in the
amount of $25.00 for each check which is provided to Lender by Borrower in payment for an obligation owing to Lender under any Loan Document but is returned or dishonored for any reason, in order to cover the additional expenses involved in handling
delinquent and returned or dishonored payments. 
 2.10. Change. 

(a) If Lender determines that the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained in respect of the Obligations by
Lender or any entity controlling Lender, is increased as a result of a Change, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount necessary to compensate Lender for any shortfall in the rate of return on
the portion of such increased capital that Lender determines is attributable to this Note or the principal amount outstanding hereunder (after taking into account Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy); provided that Borrower shall not be
required to compensate Lender for any such shortfall incurred during any fiscal quarter ended more than 90 days prior to the date that Lender makes its request for additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.10(b). 

(b) In the event that Lender becomes aware that any amounts are or will be owed to it pursuant to Section 2.10(a), then it
shall promptly notify Borrower thereof and, as soon as possible thereafter, Lender shall submit to Borrower a certificate indicating the amount owing to it and the calculation therefor. The amounts set forth in such certificate shall be prima facie
evidence of the obligations of Borrower hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of Borrower to pay any amount owing to Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall not be deemed to constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder to the
extent that Borrower is contesting in good faith its obligation to pay such amount by ongoing discussions diligently pursued with such Purchaser or by appropriate proceedings. 

 

	3.	EVENT OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 

 3.1. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise any rights and remedies set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

3.2. WAIVERS. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS TO THE CONTRARY, BORROWER AND ANY ENDORSERS OR GUARANTORS HEREOF
SEVERALLY WAIVE AND RELINQUISH PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT OR NONPERFORMANCE, PROTEST, NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF INTENT TO ACCELERATE, NOTICE OF ACCELERATION OR ANY OTHER NOTICES OR ANY OTHER ACTION. BORROWER AND ANY
ENDORSERS OR GUARANTORS HEREOF SEVERALLY WAIVE AND RELINQUISH, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO THE BENEFITS OF ANY MORATORIUM, REINSTATEMENT, MARSHALING, FORBEARANCE, VALUATION, STAY, EXTENSION, REDEMPTION, APPRAISEMENT,
EXEMPTION AND HOMESTEAD NOW OR HEREAFTER PROVIDED BY THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND OF EACH STATE 

  
 6 








 
THEREOF, BOTH AS TO ITSELF AND IN AND TO ALL OF ITS PROPERTY, REAL AND PERSONAL, AGAINST THE ENFORCEMENT AND COLLECTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE OR BY THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

  

	4.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

 4.1. No Waiver; Amendment. No failure to accelerate the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note by reason of an Event of Default hereunder, acceptance of a partial or past due payment, or indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (a) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Lender thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (b) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or
any other right granted under this Note, under any of the other Loan Documents or by any applicable laws. Borrower hereby expressly waives and relinquishes the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be
provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing. The failure to exercise any remedy available to Lender shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies of Lender under this Note or under any of the
other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity. No extension of the time for the payment of this Note or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for the payment of this Note, shall operate to release,
discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower under this Note, either in whole or in part, unless Lender specifically, unequivocally and expressly agrees otherwise in writing. 

4.2. Interest Provisions. 

(a) Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply
strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the Maximum Rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to
contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received
pursuant to this Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any
voluntary prepayment by Borrower of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all
amounts in excess of the Maximum Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if this Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new
document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, that if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated
term of this Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, either refund such excess
interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against this Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender,


  
 7 








 
Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such
notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted
for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the
actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of this Note and/or the Related
Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to this Note and/or the Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. 

(b) Ceiling Election. To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the
Maximum Rate payable on the Note and/or any other portion of the Obligations, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to
contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent
permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to
Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. 
 4.3. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY

special relationship with Borrower, Borrower and Lender are not partners or joint venturers, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of
debtor and creditor.

of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors, successors-in-title and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the

representatives, successors, successors-in-title and assigns, whether by voluntary action of the parties, by operation of law or otherwise, and all other persons
claiming by, through or under them.

of the parties hereto that the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall control. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Note and any of the other Loan Documents (other than the Credit Agreement), it is the intent of the parties
hereto that the provisions of this Note shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Note and the other Loan Documents and that this

 4.11. Severability. If any provision of this Note or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then neither the remainder of this Note nor the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances nor the other

 4.12. Right of Setoff. In addition to all Liens upon and rights of setoff against the
money, securities, or other property of Borrower given to Lender that may exist under applicable law, Lender shall have and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a Lien upon and a right of setoff against all money, securities, and other property of
Borrower, now or hereafter in possession of or on deposit with Lender, whether held in a general or special account or deposit, (but expressly excluding Property held in escrow on behalf of Customers or in safe-keeping for delivery to an Agency) and
every such Lien and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to Borrower. No Lien or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Lender, or by any neglect to exercise such right of
setoff or to enforce such Lien, or by any delay in so doing, and every right of setoff and Lien shall continue in full force and effect until such right of setoff or Lien is specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by
Lender.

and all interest hereon, all costs and expenses of collection or incurred by such holder or in any such suit or proceeding, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
