of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBO Base Rate” in Section 2 upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Transactions is to be determined is not likely to adequately cover the cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding
the Loans hereunder; or 
 (iii) it becomes unlawful for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on the
LIBO Base Rate; 
 then Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, Buyer shall be under no obligation
to purchase Loans hereunder, and Seller shall, at its option, either repurchase the Purchased Loans then subject to a Transaction or pay a Pricing Rate at a rate per annum as determined by Buyer taking into account the increased cost to Buyer of
purchasing and holding the Loans. 
 (f) Seller shall repurchase the related Purchased Loans from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date. Each
obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Loan. Seller is obligated to obtain the related Purchased Loans from Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at
Seller’s expense on (or after) the related Repurchase Date. 
 (g) Provided that the applicable conditions in Sections 9(a) and
(b) have been satisfied and provided further no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless Buyer is notified to the contrary not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to any such
Repurchase Date, on each related Repurchase Date each Purchased Loan shall automatically become subject to a new Transaction. In such event, the related Repurchase Date on which such Transaction becomes subject to a new Transaction shall become the
“Purchase Date” for such Transaction. Seller shall deliver an updated Transaction Notice with respect to such Purchased Loans. For each new Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be
settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Pricing Side Letter. 
 (h) If
Seller intends to repurchase any Loans on any day which is not a Repurchase Date, Seller shall give prior written notice thereof to Buyer by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of repurchase. If such notice is given, the Repurchase Price
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with the Price Differential to such date on the amount prepaid. 

  
 22 








 (i) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s
certificate of incorporation and by-laws 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 of
any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loans purchased pursuant to it (excluding net income taxes) or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof; 

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against
assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of Transactions or 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 LIBO Base Rate
hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition; 

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 effecting or maintaining purchases
hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable
thereafter incurred. 
 If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect
to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws 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 (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 thereafter compensate Buyer for such reduction. 

If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, 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 subsection submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Commission. 
  
 4. PAYMENTS; COMPUTATION; COMMITMENT FEE 

(a) Payments. All payments to be made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without
deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, at the following account maintained by Buyer at Citibank, New York, Account Number ######## For the A/C of Citibank, N.A., ABA# 021000089, Reference:
loanDepot, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to 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) Computations. The Price Differential shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable. 

(c) Commitment Fee. Seller agrees to pay to Buyer a commitment fee equal to [***] (the “Commitment Fee”), such payment
to be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to Buyer in twelve (12) equal monthly payments. The first installment of the Commitment Fee shall be payable on the date of this Agreement, and
each succeeding monthly installment shall be paid on the monthly Repurchase Date of each calendar month beginning on the Repurchase Date in August 2011. Buyer may, in its sole discretion, net any installment of the Commitment Fee then due and
payable from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid to Seller. In the event that the Termination Date is accelerated to a date which is prior to the payment in full of all installments of the Commitment Fee, the Commitment Fee shall be payable on
the Termination Date. The Commitment Fee is and shall be deemed to be fully earned as of the date hereof and non-refundable. 
 5. TAXES; TAX
TREATMENT 
 (a) All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority,
excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any
political subdivision thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in
respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding; (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (c) deliver to Buyer,
promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of
all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made. 

  
 24 








 (b) In addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States
or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”). 

(c) Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the
full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer shall have
provided Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be. 
 (d) Any Buyer
that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer”) shall provide Seller with properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of
withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign
Buyer becomes a Buyer. Each Foreign Buyer will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in
circumstances” with respect to such Foreign Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document
pursuant to this Section 5(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any
“gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 5(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become
subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes. 

(e) Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this
Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. 

(f) 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 each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Loans and that the Purchased Loans are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of 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. 

  
 25 








 6. MARGIN MAINTENANCE 

(a) If at any time either (i) the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Loans subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate MV
Margin Amount for all such Transactions, or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Loans subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Par Margin Amount for all such Transactions (either such event, a
“Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may, by notice to Seller, require Seller in such Transactions to transfer to Buyer cash within the time period specified in clause (b) below, so that both (x) the cash and aggregate Market Value of
the Purchased Loans will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate MV Margin Amount and (y) the cash and unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Loans, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Par Margin Amount (either such requirement,
a “Margin Call”). Buyer shall deposit such cash into a non-interest bearing account until the next succeeding Repurchase Date. 

(b) Notice required pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any means provided in Section 21 hereof. Any notice given shall be met,
and the related Margin Call satisfied, within twenty-four (24) hours. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Section 6, 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. 
 7. INCOME PAYMENTS 

Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Loan subject to that
Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income received in respect
of the Purchased Loans, whether by Buyer, Custodian or any servicer or any other Person, which is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Purchased Loans had not been sold to Buyer; provided that
any Income received by Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date; provided further that Seller shall either
(i) hold all such Income in the Collection Account or (ii) at the sole option of Buyer, cause all such Income to be remitted directly to the account designated by Buyer. Provided no Default has occurred, Buyer shall, as the parties may
agree with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its sole discretion), on the Repurchase Date following the date any Income is received by Buyer (or a servicer on its behalf)
either (i) transfer (or permit the servicer to transfer) to Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Loans subject to such Transaction, or (ii) if a Margin Deficit then exists, apply the Income payment to reduce the amount, if any,
to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentences (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit,
unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is
paid. 

  
 26 








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

(a) Seller and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans (including, without limitation, the
related Servicing Rights) and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder
as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, Seller hereby grants Buyer a perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the following
property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired: (i) all Purchased Loans identified on a Funding Notice delivered by Buyer to Seller and Custodian from time to time, (ii) all related Loan Documents, including without limitation all
promissory notes, (iii) any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Purchased Loans, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records,
computer storage media, Loan accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, (iv) the Servicing Records, and the related Servicing Rights, (v) all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any
Servicing Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File, all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage
File or Servicing File, (vi) the Collection Account and all Income relating to such Purchased Loans, (vii) all Loan Guaranty Certificates, other mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any
Mortgage Insurance Certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Purchased Loans and all claims and payments thereunder and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of
any of the foregoing, (viii) all interests in real property collateralizing any Purchased Loans, (ix) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Loans or the related Mortgaged Property and all Insurance
Proceeds and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, (x) all Interest Rate Protection Agreements relating to any or all of the foregoing, (xi) any purchase agreements or other
agreements, contracts or any related takeout commitments relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto, (xii) all “accounts”, “chattel paper”,
“commercial tort claims”, “deposit accounts”, “documents,” “equipment”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”,
“letter of credit rights”, and “securities’ accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code and all cash and Cash Equivalents and all products and proceeds relating to or constituting any or all of
the foregoing, and (xiii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing (collectively the “Purchased Items”). Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to
the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest Seller may have in the Purchased Loans and any other collateral granted by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and
subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder. 
 Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items
(including without limitation, any security interest Seller may have in the Purchased Loans and any other collateral granted by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the
rights of Buyer hereunder. Seller further acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Seller is deemed
to retain any residual Servicing Rights, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to 

  
 27 








 
Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Servicing Rights as indicated hereinabove. In addition, Seller, in its capacity as Servicer,
further grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in and to all Servicing Records and rights to receive Servicing Records or other documents that constitute a part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File with respect to
any Purchased Loan, and all Income related to the Purchased Loans received by Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the
foregoing (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for
Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder. 
 (b) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the expense
of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or
preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with
respect to the Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic
or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. 

(c) Seller shall not (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in
Section 12(m) hereof, (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Purchased Items, or (iii) reincorporate or reorganize under the
laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall
request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority. 

(d) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this
Agreement, including without limitation, protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Items without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer at
its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, if a Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to do the following: 

  
 28 








 (i) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession
of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or
otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items whenever payable; 

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Items; 

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items to make payment of any and all moneys due
or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, to send “goodbye” letters and Section 404 Notices on behalf of Seller and any applicable Servicer; (B) to ask or demand for,
collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Items; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications,
notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Items; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Items or any proceeds
thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Items; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Items; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or
proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with
any Purchased Items as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Items and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do. 

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. This power of attorney shall not revoke any prior powers of attorney granted by Seller. 

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale
provided for in Section 19 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items. 

(e) The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Purchased Items 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. 

  
 29 








 (f) If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program
Documents and Buyer performs or complies, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at
a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations. 
 (g)
Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Purchased Items in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer
deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Purchased Items or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of Seller or otherwise. 
 (h) All
authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Purchased Items are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. 
 (i)
At Buyer’s sole option, exercisable prospectively or retrospectively with respect to the Purchased Loans in whole or in part, and without notice to Seller or any other person, (i) the sale of the Purchased Loans to Buyer on each Purchase
Date may be deemed a sale of a 100% participation interest, constituting 100% beneficial ownership, of the related Purchased Loans, in lieu of a sale to Buyer of the Purchased Loans themselves, (ii) to such extent Seller is deemed to retain
legal title to the Purchased Loans solely to service or supervise the servicing thereof and (iii) this Agreement will be deemed the related participation agreement in such event. 

9. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

(vii) In the event that the Loans to be purchased would cause the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Purchased Loans
secured by Mortgaged Property from any state to exceed [***]% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Loans purchased hereunder, then unless the related Mortgage Loan Documents are on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved forms, Seller

the jurisdiction in which it was formed, (b) has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to
be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in
which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in
compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law. 
 (b) Financial Condition. Seller has heretofore furnished to Buyer
a copy of its audited consolidated balance sheets and the audited consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries, each as at December 31, 2010 with the opinion thereon of Grant Thornton LLP, a copy of which has been provided to
Buyer. Seller has also heretofore furnished to Buyer the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the one year period ending December 31, 2010, setting
forth in comparative form the figures for the previous year. All such financial statements are complete and correct in all material respects and fairly present the consolidated financial condition of Seller and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated
results of their operations for the fiscal year ended on said date, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2010, there has been no development or event nor any prospective development or event which has
had or should reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations,
investigations or proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or affecting any of the property thereof before any Governmental Authority, (i) as to which individually or in the

 19. REMEDIES 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 18(g), (h), (i) or (j) hereof), shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies: 

(a)(i) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur
(provided that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Seller’s obligations hereunder to
repurchase all Purchased Loans at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income then on deposit in the Collection Account and all Income paid after such
exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee any and all original
papers, Records and files relating to the Purchased Loans subject to such Transaction then in Seller’s possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Loans and Servicing Rights thereon shall be
deemed transferred to Buyer or its designee. 

  
 57 








 (ii) Buyer shall have the right to (A) sell, on or following the Business
Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 19(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem commercially reasonable any
or all Purchased Loans and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Loans against
the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder, provided, however, with respect to Purchased Loans with a Market Value of zero, Buyer shall in its sole discretion either sell such Purchased Loans in accordance
with clause (A) of this Section 19(a)(ii) or release such Purchased Loans to Seller. Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds
of any disposition of Purchased Loans shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second, costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions;
third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations. 
 (iii) Buyer shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement and declare all obligations of Seller to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in accordance with Section 21 hereof provided no such notice shall be required for an Event of Default pursuant to
Section 18(g), (h), (i) or (j). 
 (iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all
of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree
that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Loans does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer
may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loans and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loans on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Loans in the same manner or on
the same Business Day or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all
Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. 

(v) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Buyer
arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Purchased
Items shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 2 days before such sale or other disposition. 

  
 58 








 (b) Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this
Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller to which Seller pledges its full faith and credit. In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Buyer,
any of Buyer’s Affiliates or their respective designees (including Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off cash,
the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans and Additional Purchased Loans, any other Purchased Items and their proceeds and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer, or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, to Seller against all of
Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement among the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any
deficiency. 
 (c) Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Servicing Records and all other files of Seller relating
to the Purchased Loans (to the extent not repurchased) and all documents relating to the Purchased Loans (to the extent not repurchased) which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and
Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. 
 (d) Buyer shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the
Purchased Loans to take such action with respect to the Purchased Loans as Buyer determines appropriate. 
 (e) Buyer shall, without regard
to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Loans and any
other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Loans and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder or by law to do. Seller shall pay all
costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver. 
 (f) Buyer may, at its option,
enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection Agreements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Loans, and Seller shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against Buyer relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements for a period of thirty (30) days following the occurrence of an Event of Default; including without limitation any losses resulting from such Interest Rate
Protection Agreements; provided that Buyer shall not have the right to enter into any such Interest Rate Protection Agreement if Seller assigns to buyer an Interest Rate Protection Agreement acceptable to Buyer. 

(g) In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by
applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser or a secured party, as applicable, under the Uniform Commercial
Code. 

  
 59 








 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to exercise
any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller. 

Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the
extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from
use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Loans and any other Purchased Items or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the
trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. 
 Seller shall cause all sums received
by it with respect to the Purchased Loans to be deposited with such Person as Buyer may direct after receipt thereof. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate).

 20. DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE 

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for
herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by
Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies, as they so desire, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise
any other remedy or remedies. 
 21. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein and under the
Custodial Agreement (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 telex or telecopy or Electronic Transmission)
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. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given by Seller under Section 3(b) (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted
(i) by Electronic Transmission and followed by written notice via overnight courier or (ii) by telex or telecopier or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

 22. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS 

No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”) shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction. 
 23. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES 

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an
“Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party
(collectively, the “Costs”) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in
respect of, this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 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 Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any
environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation laws with respect to unfair or deceptive lending practices and predatory lending practices, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Loan for any sum
owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Loan, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or
reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such
account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse any Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its
counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligations of Seller under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller. 
 (b) Seller
agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, administration, enforcement and execution of, and any amendment, waiver, supplement
or modification to, this Agreement, any other Program Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (i) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer, and (ii) all the due
diligence, inspection, testing and review (including but not limited to any loan level file review 

  
 61 








 
of any Loans and all on-going due diligence costs) and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Purchased Items under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 23, 39 and 44 hereof. Seller also agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES. 

(c) If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of
any of Buyer’s rights under the Program Documents. 
 (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder,
the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 23 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Loans by
Buyer against full payment therefor. 
 24. WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS 

Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in
the proceeds of any Purchased Items as a result of restrictions upon Buyer or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that it may have to direct the order in which any of
the Purchased Items shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto. 
 25. REIMBURSEMENT 

All sums reasonably expended by Buyer in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein shall be and remain
Seller’s obligation (unless and to the extent that Seller is the prevailing party in any dispute, claim or action relating thereto). Seller agrees to pay, with interest at the Post-Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has
occurred, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Buyer and/or Custodian in connection with the preparation, negotiation, enforcement (including any waivers), administration and amendment of the Program
Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is entered into hereunder), the taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by Buyer and/or Custodian pursuant thereto, any “due diligence” or loan agent
reviews conducted by Buyer or on its behalf or by refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a “workout.”

 26. FURTHER ASSURANCES 

Seller agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to Buyer such additional assignments, acknowledgments, agreements,
powers and instruments as are reasonably required by Buyer to carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the other Program Documents, to perfect the interests of Buyer in the Purchased Items or to better assure and confirm unto
Buyer its rights, powers and remedies hereunder and thereunder. 
 27. TERMINATION

Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Program Documents shall survive the termination hereof.

provision of the Program Documents, and each Program Document shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of purchasing any Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer

 39.
ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 
 (a) Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder only with the prior written

Program Documents. 
 (b) Buyer may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more entities (“Participants”)
participating interests in this Agreement, its agreement to purchase Loans, or any other interest of Buyer hereunder and under the other Program Documents. In the event of any such sale by Buyer of participating interests to a Participant,
Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement to Seller shall remain unchanged, Buyer shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof and Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents. Seller agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event

 65 








 
agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with Buyer the proceeds thereof. Buyer also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 3(h), 3(i) and 23 with respect to its participation in the Loans and Purchased Items outstanding from time to time; provided, that Buyer and all Participants shall be entitled to receive no greater amount in the aggregate pursuant to
such Sections than Buyer would have been entitled to receive had no such transfer occurred. 
 (c) Buyer may furnish any information

statements (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H) and only for the sole purpose of evaluating assignments or participations and for no other purpose. 

(d) Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment and/or participation, to execute and deliver replacement

to any Participant identified by Buyer to Seller copies of all reports and certificates to be delivered by Seller to Buyer hereunder, as and when delivered to Buyer. 

40. SINGLE AGREEMENT 
 Seller and
Buyer acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have
been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, Seller and Buyer each agree (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a
default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any 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 Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. 

41. INTENT 
 Seller and Buyer
recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(i) of Title 11 of the USC, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of Title
11 of the USC, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of Title 11 of the USC, and that the pledge of the Related Credit Enhancement in Section 8(a) hereof is intended to constitute “a
security agreement or arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(x). 

  
 66 








 It is understood that Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Loans delivered to it in
connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 19 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as
described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of Title 11 of the USC. 
 42. CONFIDENTIALITY 

The Program Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder, are
proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by Seller in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Buyer except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s Affiliates, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants,
provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions or (ii) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure required by law, rule,
regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or (iii) upon prior written notice to Buyer, disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Interest Rate Protection Agreement hereunder or

to the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), Seller shall take reasonable actions to provide Buyer with prior written notice; provided further that in the case of (iv), Seller shall not file any of the Program Documents other

and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, tax treatment and tax structure shall not include (i) the identity of any

transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 43. SERVICING 

(a) Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Purchased Loans to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices
and pursuant to the related underlying Servicing Agreement. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of
(i) the termination thereof by Buyer pursuant to subsection (d) below, (ii) thirty (30) days after the last Purchase Date of such Purchased Loan, (iii) a Default or an Event of Default, (iv) the date on which all the
Obligations have been paid in full, or (v) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity. Upon any such termination, Seller shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 13(hh) as
to the delivery of the Servicing Records and the physical servicing of each Purchased Loan.

 (b) During the period Seller is servicing the Purchased Loans, (i) Seller agrees that Buyer
is the owner of the Servicing Rights and all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance
policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Loans (the “Servicing Records”), and (ii) Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all
servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section 43 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. At all times
during the term of this Agreement, Seller covenants to hold such Servicing Records in trust for Buyer and to safeguard, or cause each Subservicer to safeguard, such Servicing Records and to deliver them, or cause any such Subservicer to deliver them
to the extent permitted under the related Servicing Agreement promptly to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Buyer’s request or otherwise as required by operation of Section 13(hh) hereof. It is understood and agreed by the
parties that prior to an Event of Default, Seller, as servicer shall retain the servicing fees with respect to the Purchased Loans. 
 (c) If
any Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than Seller (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Purchased Loan is to be transferred to a Subservicer, Seller shall provide a copy of the
related servicing agreement and an Instruction Letter executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to such Purchase Date or transfer date, as applicable, which
Servicing Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Loans. 

(d) In addition to the rights provided in Section 43(a), Buyer shall have the right, exercisable at any time in its sole discretion, upon
written notice, to terminate Seller or any Subservicers as servicer or subservicer, respectively, and any related Servicing Agreement. Upon any such termination, Seller shall transfer or shall cause Subservicer to transfer such servicing with
respect to such Purchased Loans to Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with the transfer of servicing. 

(e) After the Purchase Date, until the Repurchase Date, Seller will have no right to modify or alter the terms of the Loan or consent to the
modification or alteration of the terms of any Loan, and Seller will have no obligation or right to repossess any Loan or substitute another Loan, except as provided in any Custodial Agreement. 

(f) Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to appoint a third party to perform due diligence with respect to Seller’s servicing
facilities at any time. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees to provide access to Seller’s servicing facilities including without limitation its books and records with respect to Seller’s servicing portfolio and the
Purchased Loans. In addition to the foregoing, Seller shall permit Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time, Seller’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose
of satisfying Buyer that Seller or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Loans as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of Seller, Seller shall use its best
efforts to enable Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Subservicer and to cause such Subservicer to cooperate with Buyer and/or its designees in connection with any due diligence performed by


  
 68 








 
Buyer and/or such designees in accordance with this Section 43(f’). Seller and Buyer further agree that all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection
with any due diligence or inspection performed pursuant to this Section 43(f) shall be paid by Buyer. 
 44. PERIODIC DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW

 Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Loans, for purposes of
verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Program Document, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s)
prior notice to Seller (provided that upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, no such prior notice shall be required), Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make
copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller and/or Custodian. Seller
also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer
shall purchase Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that 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 Purchased Loans, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports, new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used
to originate such Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such 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 Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. In addition, Buyer
has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews (including, without limitation, operational, legal, corporate and background due diligence) of Seller and its Affiliates, directors, and their respective Subsidiaries and the officers,
employees and significant shareholders thereof. Seller and Buyer further agree that all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 44 shall be paid by
Seller. 
 45. SET-OFF 
 In
addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by this Agreement 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, upon any
amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any Affiliate
thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller. Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or its Affiliates to Seller against all of


  
 69 








 
Seller’s obligations to Buyer or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Seller and any Affiliate of Buyer, or otherwise,
whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. 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. 
 46. ENTIRE AGREEMENT 

This Agreement and the other Program Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and thereto and supersede
any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein and therein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in
writing by a duly authorized representative of each party hereto.

 ANNEXI 

BUYER ACTING ASAGENT 

This Annex I forms a part of the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of July 26, 2011, (the “Agreement”) among
                    ,                     ,
                    ,                     , and
Citibank, N.A. This Annex I sets forth the terms and conditions governing all transactions in which Buyer selling assets or buying assets, as the case may be (“Agent”), in a Transaction is acting as agent for one or more third
parties (each, a “Principal”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. 
  

	1.	Additional Representations. Agent hereby makes the following representations, which shall continue during the term of any Transaction: Principal has duly authorized Agent to execute and deliver the Agreement and
the other Program Documents on its behalf, has the power to so authorize Agent and to enter into the Transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the other Program Documents and to perform the obligations of Buyer under such Transactions, and has
taken all necessary action to authorize such execution and delivery by Agent and such performance by it. 

  

	2.	Identification of Principals. Agent agrees (a) to provide the other party, prior to the date on which the parties agree to enter into any Transaction under the Agreement, with a written list of Principals
for which it intends to act as Agent (which list may be amended in writing from time to time with the consent of the other party) and (b) to provide the other party, before the close of business on the next business day after orally agreeing to
enter into a Transaction, with notice of the specific Principal or Principals for whom it is acting in connection with such Transaction. If (i) Agent fails to identify such Principal or Principals prior to the close of business on such next
business day or (ii) the other party shall determine in its sole discretion any Principal or Principals identified by Agent are not acceptable to it, the other party may reject and rescind any Transaction with such Principal or Principals,
return to Agent any Purchased Loans or portion of the Purchase Price, as the case may be, previously transferred to the other party and refuse any further performance under such Transaction, and Agent shall immediately return to the other party any
portion of the Purchase Price or Purchased Loans, as the case may be, previously transferred to Agent in connection with such Transaction; provided, however, that (A) the other party shall promptly (and in any event within one business day)
notify Agent of its determination to reject and rescind such Transaction and (B) to the extent that any performance was rendered by any party under any Transaction rejected by the other party, and such party shall remain entitled to any Price
Differential or other amounts that would have been payable to it with respect to such performance if such Transaction had not been rejected. The other party acknowledges that Agent shall not have any obligation to provide it with confidential
information regarding the financial status of its Principals; Agent agrees, however, that it will assist the other party in obtaining from Agent’s Principals such Information regarding the financial status of such Principals as the other party
may reasonably request. 


  
 Annex 1-1 









	3.	Limitation of Agent’s Liability. The parties expressly acknowledge that if the representations of Agent under the Agreement, including this Annex I, are true and correct in all material respects during the
term of any Transaction and Agent otherwise complies with the provisions of this Annex I, then (a) Agent’s obligations under the Agreement shall not include a guarantee of performance by its Principal or Principals; provided that Agent
shall remain liable for performance pursuant to Section 10 of the Agreement, and (b) the other party’s remedies shall not include a right of setoff in respect of rights or obligations, if any, of Agent arising in other transactions in
which Agent is acting as principal. 

  

	4.	Multiple Principals. 

  

	 	(a)	In the event that Agent proposes to act for more than one Principal hereunder, Agent and the other party shall elect whether (i) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions entered into on behalf of
separate Principals or (ii) to aggregate such Transactions as if they were transactions by a single Principal. 


	 	  	Failure to make such an election in writing shall be deemed an election to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of a single Principal. 


 

	 	(b)	In the event that Agent and the other party elect (or are deemed to elect) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of separate Principals, the parties agree that (i) Agent will provide
the other party, together with the notice described in Section 2(b) of this Annex I, notice specifying the portion of each Transaction allocable to the account of each of the Principals for which it is acting (to the extent that any such
Transaction is allocable to the account of more than one Principal); (ii) the portion of any individual Transaction allocable to each Principal shall be deemed a separate Transaction under the Agreement; (iii) the margin maintenance
obligations of Seller under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall be determined on a Transaction-by-Transaction basis (unless the parties agree to determine such obligations on a Principal-by-principal basis); and (iv) Buyer’s remedies
under the Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if Agent had entered into a separate Agreement with the other party on behalf of each of its Principals. 


 

	 	(c)	In the event that Agent and the other party elect to treat Transactions under the Agreement as if they were transactions by a single Principal, the parties agree that (i) Agent’s notice under Section 2(b)
of this Annex I need only identify the names of its Principals but not the portion of each Transaction allocable to each Principal’s account; (ii) the margin maintenance obligations of Seller under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall,
subject to any greater requirement imposed by applicable law, be determined on an aggregate basis for all Transactions entered into by Agent on behalf of any Principal; and (iii) Buyer’s remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
shall be determined as if all Principals were a single Buyer. 

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement (including, without limitation, this Annex I), the parties agree that any Transactions by Agent on behalf of an employee benefit plan under ERISA shall be treated as
Transactions on behalf of separate Principals in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Annex I (and all margin maintenance obligations of the parties shall be determined on a Transaction-by-Transaction basis). 


  
 Annex 1-2 









	5.	Interpretation of Terms. All references to “Buyer” in the Agreement shall, subject to the provisions of this Annex I (including, among other provisions, the limitations on Agent’s liability in
Section 3 of this Annex I), be construed to reflect that (i) each Principal shall have, in connection with any Transaction or Transactions entered into by Agent on its behalf, the rights, responsibilities, privileges and obligations of a
“Buyer”, directly entering into such Transaction or Transactions with the other party under the Agreement, and (ii) Agent’s Principal or Principals have designated Agent as their sole agent for performance of Buyer’s
obligations to Seller and for receipt of performance by Seller of its obligations to Buyer in connection with any Transaction or Transactions under the Agreement (including, among other things, as Agent for each Principal in connection with
transfers of Loans, securities, cash or other property and as agent for giving and receiving all notices under the Agreement). Both Agent and its Principal or Principals shall be deemed “parties” to the Agreement and all references to a
“party” or “either party” in the Agreement shall be deemed revised accordingly. 


  
 Annex 1-3 








 Schedule 1 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: LOANS 

Eligible Loans 
 As to
each Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder (and the related Mortgage, Note, Assignment of Mortgage and Mortgaged Property), Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Purchase Date and as
of each date such Loan is subject to a Transaction: 
 (a) Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Loan Schedule with
respect to the Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects. 
 (b) Payments Current. The first Monthly Payment shall
have been made prior to the second scheduled Monthly Payment becoming due. 
 (c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in
complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Loan, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or
will be paid prior to any economic loss or forfeiture of the related Mortgaged Property or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due
and payable. Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Loan, except for interest
accruing from the date of the Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder. 

(d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect,
from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded (or promptly will be recorded, in the case of any of the foregoing that occurs after the related Purchase Date), if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and
which has been delivered to Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the title insurance
policy, and its terms are reflected on the Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such
policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Loan Schedule. 

(e) FHA/VA Approval. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee or assignee, are (or, during the
period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) an FHA Approved Mortgagee or VA Approved Lender (on and after the date on which such party became a VA Approved Lender) as the case may be. 

  
 Schedule 1-1 








 (f) FHA Insurance; VA Loan Guaranty. With respect to the FHA Loans, the FHA Insurance
Contract is in full force and effect and there exists no impairment to full recovery without indemnity to the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the FHA under FHA Mortgage Insurance. With respect to the VA Loans, the VA Loan Guaranty
Agreement is in full force and effect to the maximum extent stated therein on and after the date on which Seller became a VA Approved Lender. All necessary steps have been taken to keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable and
each of such is the binding, valid and enforceable obligation of the FHA and the VA (on and after the date on which Seller became a VA Approved Lender), respectively, to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense. Each FHA Loan
and VA Loan (on and after the date on which Seller became a VA Approved Lender) was originated in accordance with the criteria of an Agency for purchase of such Loans. 

(g) No Defenses. The Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the 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 in respect of the Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Loan was originated by Seller. 

(h) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer,
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against risks insured against by Persons
operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the
Loan with respect to each Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination
in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is
in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a
generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum
amount of insurance available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and
assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of the Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums
due and owing on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance,


  
 Schedule 1-2 








 
provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned
unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which
would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or
value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 

(i) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, all applicable predatory and abusive lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of such Loan have been complied
with (including without limitation the federal Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act of 2008 and its promulgating regulations under 12 C.F.R. Part 226, as amended by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008), the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer,
upon two Business Days’ request, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. 
 (j) 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 except (i) in connection with an assumption agreement which has been approved by the FHA, to the extent required by the applicable FHA Insurance Contract, (ii) in the case of a
release of a portion of the land comprising a Mortgaged Property or (iii) a release of a blanket Mortgage which release will not cause the Loan to fail to satisfy the Underwriting Guidelines. Seller has not waived the performance by the
Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor. 

(k) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Loan Schedule and consists
of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de
minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings, and that no residence or dwelling is a
mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes. 

  
 Schedule 1-3 








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

(1) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; 

(2) 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 Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for
the originator of the Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and 

(3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to
be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. 
 Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and. first priority security interest with respect to each Loan, on the property described therein and
Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Loan, 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. 
 (m) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement
executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a 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 Note, the
Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Loan and to execute and deliver the Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and
properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, negligence, omission, misrepresentation or similar occurrence with respect to a Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser,
any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such
inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. 
 (n) Full Disbursement of
Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any
escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Note
or Mortgage. 

  
 Schedule 1-4 








 (o) Ownership. Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Loan. No Loan was acquired by
Seller from a third party. In connection with such sale, such third party received reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration and, in accordance with GAAP and for federal income tax purposes, reported the sale of such Loan to Seller as a
sale of its interests in such Loan. The Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each Loan pursuant to this
Agreement and following the pledge of each Loan, Buyer will hold such Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. 
 (p) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee,
pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located,
and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state or
(D) not doing business in such state. 
 (q) LTV. As of the date of origination of the Loan, the LTV is as identified on the Loan
Schedule. No Loan shall have an LTV greater than 100%. 
 (r) Title Insurance. The Loan is covered by either (i) an
attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA
lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to the FHA, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to the FHA, Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Loan, subject
only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (j) of this Part I of Schedule 1, with respect to each Loan, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose
the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title
policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller,
its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would


  
 Schedule 1-5 








 
impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been
or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 

(s) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Note and no event
has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration. 
 (t) No Mechanics’ Liens. At origination, there were no mechanics’ or similar
liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with the
lien of the Mortgage. 
 (u) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being
part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation. 
 (v) Origination;
Payment Terms. The Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank,
a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Monthly Payments on the Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed
in connection with the Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted, with respect to Adjustable Rate Loans, on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest .125%), subject to the
Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. With respect to each Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to an Adjustable Rate Loan, are
subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more
than 30 years from commencement of amortization. No Loan is an interest only Loan. No Loan has a balloon payment feature. 
 (w) Customary
Provisions. The Note has a stated maturity which shall not exceed 360 months from the date of the Loan’s origination. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged
Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. 

  
 Schedule 1-6 








 (x) Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines and Agency Standards. The Loan was
underwritten in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. The Note and Mortgage are on forms similar to those used by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae and Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the
mortgage instruments used. 
 (y) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is either vacant
or lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but
not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received written notification from any governmental authority that the Mortgaged Property is in
material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received notice of any violation or
failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. Except as otherwise set forth in the Loan Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the
Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence. 
 (z) No Additional Collateral. The Note is not and has not been
secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above. 

(aa) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable
law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Custodian or Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a
trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. 
 (bb) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. If the Loan is a Dry Loan, the Note, the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage (other than for a MERS Loan) and any other documents required to be delivered under the Custodial Agreement for each Loan have been delivered to Custodian. Seller or its agent is in possession of a complete, true
and materially accurate Mortgage File in compliance with the Custodial Agreement, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to Custodian. 

(cc) Transfer of Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. 
 (dd) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder. 

  
 Schedule 1-7 








 (ee) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The 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 Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

 (ff) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the origination of the Loan have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal
amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority with respect to each Loan, by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to the FHA,
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Loan. 
 (gg) Mortgaged
Property Undamaged. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Loan or the use for which
the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings. 

(hh) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits: Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination and collection practices used by the originator,
each servicer of the Loan and Seller with respect to the Loan have been in all material respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow
deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow
Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but
is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and
federal law and the terms of the related Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited. 

(ii) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to Adjustable Rate Loans, the Loan is not convertible to a fixed interest rate
Loan. 

  
 Schedule 1-8 








 (jj) Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of
facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of
coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by Seller or by any officer, director, or employee of Seller or any designee of Seller or any corporation in
which Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance. 
 (kk)

(ll) Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains either (A) an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval
of the Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller or the related Qualified Originator, 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 Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the FHA and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 as
amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Loan was originated or (B) another valuation model acceptable Buyer in its sole discretion.

required by applicable law with respect to the making of adjustable rate mortgage loans, and Seller maintains such statement in the Mortgage File. 

(nn) Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a
Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property. 
 (oo) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No
action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether or not known to Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an
exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the
loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the
appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such
insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial inability to pay. 
 (pp) Capitalization of Interest.
The Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest. 

  
 Schedule 1-9 








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

(rr) Withdrawn Loans. If the Loan has been released to Seller pursuant to a Request for Release as permitted under Section 5 of the
Custodial Agreement, then the promissory note relating to the Loan was returned to Custodian within 10 days (or if such tenth day was not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). 

(ss) No Exception. Other than as noted by Custodian on the Exception Report, no Exception exists (as defined in the Custodial Agreement)

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO SELLER 

            (date) 

Citibank, N.A. 
 390 Greenwich Street, 4th Floor 

New York, New York 10001 

Attention:                         
                    
 Dear Sirs and Mesdames: 

You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as counsel to loanDepot.com, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (the “Seller”), with
respect to certain matters in connection with that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2011 (the “Agreement”), by and between Seller and Citibank, N.A. (the “Buyer”), being executed contemporaneously
with the agreements listed below. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. 
 [We] [I]
have examined the following documents: 
  

	 	1.	the Agreement; 

  

	 	2.	Custodial Agreement; 

  

	 	3.	the Pricing Side Letter; 

  

	 	4.	the Electronic Tracking Agreement 

  

	 	5.	the Collection Account Control Agreement; and 

  

	 	6.	such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion. 


The documents referred to in items in 1 through 6 shall be referred to herein as the “Program Documents.” To the extent [we] [I] have
deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of Seller contained in the Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures,
the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents. 
 Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my]
opinion that: 
 l. Seller is a [            ] duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the state of [state] and is qualified to transact business in, duly licensed and is in good standing under, the laws of each state in which any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to ensure
the enforceability of each Loan and the servicing of each Loan pursuant to the Agreement. 

  
 C-1 








 2. Seller has the corporate power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Program
Documents and all requisite corporate power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver each of the Program Documents and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments. Seller has all requisite corporate power to enter into Transactions
under the Repurchase Agreement and to grant a security interest in the Purchased Items pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement. 
 3. The
execution, delivery and performance by Seller of the Repurchase Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, and the sale by Seller of the Purchased Items under the Repurchase Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of Seller. Each of the Program Documents have been executed and delivered by Seller and are legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against Seller, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar
laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the
benefits provided thereunder or with Buyer’s security interest in the Loans. 
 4. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, and
no filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or regulatory body is required on the part of Seller for the execution, delivery or performance by Seller of the Program Documents or for the borrowings by Seller under the Repurchase
Agreement or the granting of a security interest to Buyer in the Purchased Items, pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement. 
 5. The execution,
delivery and performance by Seller of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Program Documents do not and will not (a) violate any provision of Seller’s charter or by-laws, (b) violate any applicable law, rule
or regulation, (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitral award applicable to Seller of which I have knowledge (after due inquiry) or (d) result in a breach of,
constitute a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument of which I have knowledge (after due inquiry) to which Seller is a
party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any Property of Seller pursuant to the terms of any such agreement
or instrument. 

  
 C-2 








 6. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my]
knowledge, threatened against Seller which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in the properties, business or financial condition, or prospects
of Seller or in any material impairment of the right or ability of Seller to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of Seller or which would draw into question the validity of the Program
Documents or the Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be reasonably likely to impair materially the ability of Seller to perform under the terms of the Repurchase
Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the Loans. 
 7. The Repurchase Agreement is effective to create, in favor of Buyer, a valid security
interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Items as collateral security for the payment of the Obligations (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement), except that
(a) such security interests will continue in the Purchased Items after their sale, exchange or other disposition only to the extent provided in Section 9-306 of the Uniform Commercial Code, (b) the security interests in Purchased
Items in which Seller acquires rights after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of Seller may be limited by Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

8. When the Notes are delivered to Custodian, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer of Seller, the security interest referred to in
paragraph 7 above in the Notes will constitute a fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller therein, in the Loan evidenced thereby and in Seller’s interest in the related Mortgaged Property. 

(a) Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming Buyer as “Secured Party” and Seller as
“Debtor”, and describing the Purchased Items, in the jurisdictions and recording offices listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto, the security interests referred to in paragraph 8 above will constitute fully perfected security interests under
the Uniform Commercial Code in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under such Purchased Items, which can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code. 

(b) The UCC Search Report sets forth the proper filing offices and the proper debtors necessary to identify those Persons who
have on file in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 1 financing statements covering the Filing Collateral as of the dates and times specified on Schedule 2. Except for the matters listed on Schedule 2, the UCC Search Report identifies no Person who
has filed in any Filing Office a financing statement describing the Filing Collateral prior to the effective dates of the UCC Search Report. 

9. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Seller is not subject to any Federal or state statute or regulation which limits its ability to incur indebtedness. 

  
 C-3 








 10. The Assignments of Mortgage are in recordable form, except for the insertion of the name of
the assignee, and upon the name of the assignee being inserted, are acceptable for recording under the laws of the state where each related Mortgaged Property is located. 

11. Seller is duly registered as a [            ] in each state in which Loans were
originated to the extent such registration is required by applicable law, and has obtained all other licenses and governmental approvals in each jurisdiction to the extent that the failure to obtain such licenses and approvals would render any Loan
unenforceable or would materially and adversely affect the ability of Seller to perform any of its obligations under, or the enforceability of, the Program Documents. 

12. Assuming that all other elements necessary to render a Loan legal, valid, binding and enforceable were present in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of each Loan (including completion of the entire Loan fully, accurately and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations) and assuming further that no action was taken in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of each Loan (including in connection with the sale of the related Mortgaged Property) that would give rise to a defense to the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of such Loan, nothing in the
forms of such Loans, as attached hereto as Exhibit A, would render such Loans other than legal, valid, binding and enforceable. 
 13.
Assuming their validity, binding effect and enforceability in all other respects (including completion of the entire Loan fully, accurately and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations), the forms of Loans attached hereto as
Exhibit A are in sufficient compliance with             law and Federal consumer protection laws so as not to be rendered void or voidable at the election of the Mortgagor
thereunder. 
 14. The Repurchase Agreement is a “repurchase agreement”, a “master netting agreement”, and a
“securities contract” within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(47), 101(38A) and 741(7), and the rights of Buyer contained in Section 45 thereof to setoff mutual debts and claims, and in Section 19 thereof to liquidate,
terminate and accelerate the Repurchase Agreement, in the event of the bankruptcy of Seller will not be stayed, avoided, or otherwise limited by operation of any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or by order of a court or administrative agency in any
proceeding thereunder, including without limitation the automatic stay provisions of Bankruptcy Code Section 362(a) pursuant to Sections 362(b)(6), (7) and (27) thereof. 

Very truly yours,

non-public information regarding Seller that is in the possession of Buyer. In consideration of, and as a condition to, furnishing you with such information and any other information (whether communicated in writing or communicated orally) delivered

agreement with Buyer or its Representatives or is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to you. As used in this Agreement, the term “person” shall be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation, any corporation,
company, joint venture, partnership or individual. 
 3. In the event that you receive a request to disclose all or any part
of the information contained in the Evaluation Material under the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to (i) immediately notify Buyer and Seller of the existence, terms and
circumstances surrounding such a request, (ii) consult with Seller on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request, and (iii) if disclosure of such information is required, exercise your best efforts
to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information. 

  
 H-1 








 4. Unless otherwise required by law in the opinion of your counsel, neither you
nor your Representative will, without our prior written consent, disclose to any person the fact that the Evaluation Material has been made available to you. 

5. You agree not to initiate or maintain contact (except for those contacts made in the ordinary course of business) with any
officer, director or employee of Seller regarding the business, operations, prospects or finances of Seller or the employment of such officer, director or employee, except with the express written permission of Seller. 

6. You understand and acknowledge that Seller is not making any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the
accuracy or completeness of the Evaluation Material or any other information provided to you by Buyer. None of Seller, its respective affiliates or Representatives, nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling
persons (within the meaning of the 1934 Act) shall have any liability to you or any other person (including, without limitation, any of your Representatives) resulting from your use of the Evaluation Material. 

7. You agree that neither Buyer nor Seller has granted you any license, copyright, or similar right with respect to any of the
Evaluation Material or any other information provided to you by Buyer. 
 8. If you determine that you do not wish to proceed
with the Transaction, you will promptly deliver to Buyer all of the Evaluation Material, including all copies and reproductions thereof in your possession or in the possession of any of your Representatives. 

9. Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to Seller, Seller shall be entitled to equitable relief by
way of injunction if you or any of your Representatives breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement. You agree to waive, and to cause your Representatives to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in
connection with such remedy. 
 10. The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be fully performed therein (excluding the conflicts of law rules). You submit to the jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or the United
States District Court for the Southern District of the State of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement. 

11. The benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and the
obligations and liabilities assumed in this Agreement by the parties hereto shall be binding upon the respective successors and assigns. 

12. If it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that any term or
provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) the invalid or unenforceable provision or term shall be replaced by a term
or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

 13. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set

              , as Subservicer/Additional Collateral Servicer 
  

 
 Attention:
                             
  

	 	Re:	Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2011, by and between Citibank, N.A., (“Buyer”), and loanDepot.com, LLC (“Seller”) 


Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 As [sub]servicer of those
assets described on Schedule 1 hereto, which may be amended or updated from time to time (the “Eligible Loans”) pursuant to that Servicing Agreement, between You and the undersigned Seller, as amended or modified, attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Servicing Agreement”), you are hereby notified that the undersigned Seller has sold to Buyer such Eligible Loans, including, without limitation, the servicing rights appurtenant thereto, pursuant to that certain
Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as [                    ] (the “Agreement”), among Buyer and Seller. 

You agree to service the Eligible Loans in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement for the benefit of Buyer and, except as
otherwise provided herein, Buyer shall have all of the rights, but none of the duties or obligations of Seller under the Servicing Agreement including, without limitation, payment of any indemnification or reimbursement or payment of any servicing
fees or any other fees. No subservicing relationship shall be hereby created between You and Buyer. 
 Upon your receipt of written
notification by Buyer that a Default has occurred under the Agreement (the “Default Notice”), you, as [Subservicer] [Additional Collateral Servicer], hereby agree to remit all payments or distributions made with respect to such
Eligible Loans, net of the servicing fees payable to you with respect thereto, immediately in accordance with Buyer’s wiring instructions provided below, or in accordance with other instructions that may be delivered to you by Buyer: 

 

			
	[BANK]	  	
	Account No.:	  	[                    ]
		  	For the A/C of Citibank, N.A.

	Reference:	  	[                    ]



  
 I-1 








 You agree that, following your receipt of such Default Notice, under no circumstances will you
remit any such payments or distributions in accordance with any instructions delivered to you by the undersigned Seller, except if Buyer instructions you in writing otherwise. 

You further agree that, upon receipt written notification by Buyer that an Event of Default has occurred under the Agreement, Buyer shall
assume all of the rights and obligations of Seller under the Servicing Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, You shall (x) follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Eligible
Loans and deliver to a Buyer any information with respect to the Eligible Loans reasonably requested by such Buyer, and (y) treat this letter agreement as a separate and distinct servicing agreement between You and Buyer (incorporating the
terms of the Servicing Agreement by reference), subject to no setoff or counterclaims arising in Your favor (or the favor of any third party claiming through You) under any other agreement or arrangement between You and Seller or otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Servicing Agreement, in no event shall Buyer be liable for any fees, indemnities, costs, reimbursements or expenses incurred by You prior to such Event of Default or otherwise owed to You in
respect of the period of time prior to such Event of Default. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Servicing
Agreement, with respect to those Eligible Loans marked as “Servicing Released” on Schedule 1 (the “Servicing Released Loans”), You are hereby instructed to service such Servicing Released Loans for a term of thirty
(30) days (each, a “Servicing Term”) commencing as of the date such Servicing Released Loans become subject to a purchase transaction under the Agreement, which Servicing Term shall be deemed to be renewed at the end of each
30-day period subject to the following sentence. The Servicing Term shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) if the related purchase transaction is not renewed at the end of such Servicing Term and such Servicing
Released Loan is not repurchased by Seller, or (ii) You shall have received a written termination notice from Buyer at any time with respect to some or all of the Servicing Released Loans being serviced by You (each, a “Servicing
Termination”). In the event of a Servicing Termination, You hereby agree to (i) deliver all servicing and “records” relating to such Servicing Released Loans to the designee of Buyer at the end of each such Servicing Term and
(ii) cooperate in all respects with the transfer of servicing to Buyer or its designee. The transfer of servicing and such records by You shall be in accordance with customary standards in the industry and the terms of the Servicing Agreement,
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”). 

Further, You hereby constitute and appoint Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as Your true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in Your place and stead and in Your name or in Buyer’s own name, following any Servicer Termination with respect solely to the Servicing Released Loans that are subject to such Servicer
Termination, to direct any party liable for any payment under any such Servicing Released Loans to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct including, without limitation, the right
to send “goodbye” and “hello” letters on Your behalf. You hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.

 For the purpose of the foregoing, the term “records” shall be deemed to include but not
be limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and
any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Servicing Released Loans.

 COMMITTED SUBLIMIT FOR MORTGAGE LOANS ORIGINATED IN NEW YORK 

THIS ADDENDUM (the “Addendum”) is made and entered into as of July 26, 2011 and supplements that certain Master Repurchase Agreement between

2. Repurchase Agreement in Full Force and Effect. Other than as expressly amended herein, the Repurchase Agreement and
each of the Program Documents shall remain in full force and effect subject to their terms and nothing herein shall affect the rights, remedies and obligations of the parties as provided under the Repurchase Agreement and such Program Documents.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and for the mutual covenants
