ARTICLE II

Conveyance of Mortgage Loans;



Section II.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans to Issuer. (01) The Depositor concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, sells, transfers and assigns to the Issuer without recourse all its right, title and interest in
and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including all interest and principal due with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date, but excluding any payments of principal and interest due on or prior to the
Cut-off Date; (ii) such assets as shall from time to time be credited or are required by the terms of this Agreement to be credited to the Master Servicer Collection Account, (iii) such assets relating to the Mortgage Loans as from time to time may
be held by the Servicer in the Protected Account, the Master Servicer in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Indenture Trustee in the Payment Account, (iv) any REO Property, (v) the Required Insurance Policies and any amounts paid or
payable by the insurer under any Insurance Policy (to the extent the mortgagee has a claim thereto), (vi) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to the extent provided in Subsection 2.03(a), (vii) the rights with respect to the HomeBanc Servicing
Agreement as assigned to the Issuer by the Assignment Agreement and (viii) any proceeds of the foregoing. Although it is the intent of the Depositor and the Issuer that the conveyance of the Depositors right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, in the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this
Agreement that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositors right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust
Estate, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.



(02) In connection with the above transfer and assignment, the Depositor hereby delivers to the Custodian, on behalf of the Issuer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan:



(01) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed without recourse in blank or to
the order of the Indenture Trustee and showing an unbroken chain of endorsements from the originator thereof to the Person endorsing it in blank or to the Indenture Trustee, or lost note affidavit together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note;



(02) the original Mortgage and, if the related Mortgage Loan
is a MOM Loan, noting the presence of the MIN and language indicating that such Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, which shall have been recorded (or if the original is not available, a copy), with evidence of such recording indicated thereon (or if
clause (w) in the proviso below applies, shall be in recordable form);



(03) unless the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, a certified copy of the assignment (which may be in the form of a blanket assignment if permitted in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located) in blank or to U.S. Bank
National Association, as Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, with evidence of recording with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the name of the Indenture Trustee thereon (or if clause (w) in the proviso below applies or for Mortgage
Loans with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property is located in a state other than Maryland or an Opinion of Counsel has been provided as set forth in this Section 2.01(b), shall be in recordable form);



-3-



---

(04) all intervening assignments of the Security Instrument, if applicable and only to the extent
available to the Depositor with evidence of recording thereon;



(05) the original or a copy of the policy or certificate of primary mortgage guaranty insurance, to the extent available, if any;



(06) the original or a copy of the policy of title insurance or mortgagees certificate of title insurance or commitment or binder for title
insurance; and



(07) originals of all modification agreements,
if applicable and available;



provided, however, that in lieu of
the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver to the Custodian, the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) in lieu of the original Security Instrument (including the Mortgage), assignments to the Indenture Trustee or
intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to such documents required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not
been returned to the Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Servicer, or its agent on its behalf, substantially to the effect that such copy is a true
and correct copy of the original; (x) in lieu of the Security Instrument, assignment in blank or to the Indenture Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a
certification from the Depositor to such effect) the Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded or
from the Depositors agent, escrow agent or closing attorney; (y) in lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit 5 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Depositor may deliver lost note affidavits from
the Seller; and (z) the Depositor shall not be required to deliver intervening assignments or Mortgage Note endorsements between the Underlying Seller and the Seller, between the Seller and the Depositor, between the Depositor and the Issuer, and
between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above
documents, may deliver to the Indenture Trustee, a certification to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Master Servicer Collection Account on the Closing Date. The Depositor shall deliver such
original documents (including any original documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) to the Custodian, promptly after they are received. The Depositor shall cause the Seller, at its expense, to cause each assignment of
the Security Instrument to the Indenture Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies as evidenced in writing or an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Indenture Trustee has been provided to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer which states that recordation of such Security Instrument is not required to protect the interests of the Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified
on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Seller and its successor and assigns; provided,

however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner
described above, at no expense to the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 25% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes, (ii) the occurrence of a
Master Servicer Event of Default or an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 6.02 hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the assignments, such expense will be paid by the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust Estate in accordance with Section 6.07 of
the Indenture.



Section II.02 Acceptance of Mortgage Loans
by the Issuer. (01) The Issuer acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust Estate to it by the Depositor and receipt of, subject to further review by the Custodian, on its behalf, and the exceptions which may be noted by the
Custodian, on its behalf, pursuant to the procedures described below, and the Issuer will cause the Custodian to hold, the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to the Custodian, pursuant to Section 2.01, and any amendments, replacements
or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Estate delivered to it, in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. On the Closing Date, in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement, the Custodian shall acknowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan by delivery to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer of an Initial Certification, receipt of the Mortgage File, but without review of such
Mortgage File, except to the extent necessary to confirm that such Mortgage File contains the related Mortgage Note or lost note affidavit. No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five
Business Days after the receipt by the Custodian thereof), the Custodian, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, shall review each Mortgage File delivered to it and shall execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee
and Issuer an Interim Certification. In conducting such review, the Custodian will ascertain whether all documents required to be reviewed by it have been executed and received, and based on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, whether the Mortgage Notes
relate, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans it has received, as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely
on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If the Custodian finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File has not been executed or received, or is
unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit A or does not conform on its face to the review criteria specified in this Section (a Material
Defect), the Custodian shall notify the Seller and the Indenture Trustee of such Material Defect in writing. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within ninety (90)
days from the date of notice from the Indenture Trustee of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the Material Defect within such period, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the Sellers obligation under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Indenture Trustees notification, provide a Substitute Mortgage Loan or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that if such Material Defect relates solely to the
inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the
Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller

---

delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the
Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because
such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for
recording, and delivery to the Custodian shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.



(02) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, will review, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor, the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer a Final Certification. In conducting such review, the Custodian
will ascertain whether an original of each document required to be recorded has been returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon or a certified copy has been obtained from the recording office. If the Custodian finds a
Material Defect, the Custodian shall promptly notify the Seller and the Indenture Trustee in writing (provided, however, that with respect to those documents described in subsections (b)(iv), (v) and (vii) of Section 2.01, the Custodians
obligations shall extend only to the documents actually delivered to the Custodian pursuant to such subsections). In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from
the date of notice from the Custodian or the Indenture Trustee of the Material Defect and if the Seller is unable to cure such Material Defect within such period, and if such Material Defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce the Sellers obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to, within 90 days from the Custodians or Indenture Trustees notification, provide a
Substitute Mortgage Loan or purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or
a certified copy, because the originals of such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such original documents or
certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for
recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt
is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Indenture Trustee shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.



(03) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in
accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to the Master Servicer the Repurchase Price for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Seller shall provide to the Securities Administrator and the Indenture
Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Repurchase Price. Upon deposit of the Repurchase Price in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Depositor shall notify the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian and, the Indenture
Trustee (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto with respect to such



-6-



---

Mortgage Loan and certification that the Repurchase Price has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account),
shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, representation or warranty, furnished to it by the Seller,
as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in available funds is deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account.
The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which was previously delivered to it by the Depositor in a form agreed to between the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian, to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly
deliver to the Rating Agencies, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Issuer a copy of such amendment. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which such a Material
Defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such Material Defect available to the Issuer, the Noteholders or to the Indenture Trustee on their behalf.



Section II.03 Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. (01) The Depositor hereby assigns to
the Issuer, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to the Depositors rights and obligations pursuant to the HomeBanc Servicing Agreement (noting that the Seller has retained the
right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans of the Servicer under the HomeBanc Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available
remedies). The Depositor hereby acknowledges that such right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, will be pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The obligations of the Seller to substitute
or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Issuers, the Indenture Trustees and the Noteholders sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor shall take such
actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders and shall execute such further documents as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may reasonably require in
order to enable the Indenture Trustee to carry out such enforcement.



(02) If the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach materially and
adversely affects the value of the interests of the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties. Any breach of a
representation or warranty contained in clauses (xviii) or (xxvi) through (xxx) of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of a Group I Loan, shall be deemed to materially adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders. The
Seller, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Section 2.04 of this
Agreement, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Issuer; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and the Mortgage Loan or
the related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Repurchase Price, any excess of the Repurchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. If the Net Liquidation
Proceeds exceed the Repurchase Price, any excess shall be paid to the Seller to the extent not required by law



-7-



---

to be paid to the borrower. Any such purchase by the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Repurchase
Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and written notification detailing the components of such Repurchase Price. The Depositor shall submit to the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian a Request for
Release, and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, upon receipt of certification from the Master Servicer that the Repurchase Price has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, to the Seller the related
Mortgage File and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under
the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price in available funds is deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account. The Master Servicer
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly deliver to the Issuer, Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Rating Agencies a copy of such amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase
(or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Repurchase Price as set forth in the above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee on their behalf.



Section II.04 Substitution of Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Indenture Trustee a Substitute
Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the definition of Substitute Mortgage Loan in this Agreement. The Indenture
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business
Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of the fifth sentence of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to the
Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this
Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller. After such notification to the Seller and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of certification from the Master Servicer
that such excess has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Indenture Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution,
accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Trust Estate and accrued interest for such month on the
Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution
shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled



-8-



---

Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust
Estate. Upon acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse,
representation or warranty in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable. The
Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date
of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have
been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Indenture Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and shall
provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Rating Agencies.

Section III.01 Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the
Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicers obligations hereunder,
shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by
such Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor the Servicers servicing activities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information
provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers and Master Servicers records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such
information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 7.03 of the Indenture, and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.



The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents in
form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the Servicers or the Master
Servicers use or misuse of such powers of attorney.



The
Indenture Trustee shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Indenture Trustee regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Noteholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents
and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Indenture
Trustee shall not be required to provide access to such records and documentation to the Noteholders if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Indenture Trustee shall allow representatives of the above
entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Indenture Trustees actual costs.



The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable based on the

Section III.02 [Reserved]



Section III.03 Monitoring of Servicer. (01) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by the Servicer with its duties under the Servicing Agreement. In the review of the Servicers activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officers certificate of the Servicer (or
similar document signed by an officer of the Servicer) with regard to such Servicers compliance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the Servicer should be
terminated in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.



(02) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, shall enforce the
obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that the Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and
obligations of the Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer; provided,
however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the Servicing Agreement and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or
defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.



(03) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of the Servicer,
appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses
associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by the Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all
servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection
Account.



-13-



---

(04) The Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other
obligations set forth in the Servicing Agreement.



(05) If the
Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.



(06) In accordance with Section 10.02 of the HomeBanc Servicing Agreement and the provisions of the Special Servicing Agreement, upon the occurrence of a
Servicing Termination Trigger, the Master Servicer shall terminate the Servicer as servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is (i) 60 or more days delinquent, (ii) in bankruptcy and 60 or more days delinquent, (iii) in foreclosure and 60 or
more days delinquent or (iv) an REO Property, and each Mortgage Loan which becomes 60 or more days delinquent on any future Payment Date (each such Mortgage Loan, a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall cause the Servicer to
transfer the servicing with respect to each such Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Special Servicing Agreement. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, from and after the Effective Date (as
defined in the Special Servicing Agreement) with respect to the first occurrence of a transfer of servicing of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, all references in this Agreement to (x) the Servicer shall be deemed to include each of
HomeBanc Corp. as servicer under the HomeBanc Servicing Agreement and the Special Servicer, as servicer under the Special Servicing Agreement, (y) the Servicing Agreement shall refer to each of the HomeBanc Servicing Agreement and the
Special Servicing Agreement and (z) the Mortgage Loans shall mean, with respect to the Servicer, the Mortgage Loans other than the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Special Servicer, the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans; with the result that the Master Servicer shall master service in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, other than the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, by the Servicer and the
servicing of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans by the Special Servicer.



Section III.04 Fidelity Bond. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all
directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicers behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicers obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and
the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.



Section III.05 Power to Act; Procedures. The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority to do
any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Issuer,
Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of attorney



-14-



---

empowering the Master Servicer or the Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties
hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for use or misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the
Indenture Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Indenture Trustee or that the Indenture Trustee would be adversely affected under the
doing business or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Indenture. In the performance of
its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee.



Section III.06 Due-on-Sale Clauses;
Assumption Agreements. To the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be
released from liability in accordance with the Servicing Agreement.



Section III.07 Release of Mortgage Files. (01) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such
purposes for payment to Noteholders on the next Payment Date, the Servicer will, if required under the Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the Indenture Trustee two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto signed
by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in
connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement have been so deposited) and shall request that the Indenture Trustee deliver or cause the
Custodian to deliver to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Indenture Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the
Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected
Account.



-15-



---

(02) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in
accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee)
and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon the request of the Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Indenture Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a
Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit B (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release or cause the Custodian to release the related
Mortgage File held in its or the Custodians possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. The Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be obligated to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee or the
Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer, as it reasonably determines, no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that
hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.



Section III.08 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Issuer and Indenture Trustee.



(01) The Master Servicer shall transmit and the Servicer (to the extent
required by the Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Indenture Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or the Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of
the Servicer, the Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by the Servicer
as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee subject to the Master Servicers right to retain or withdraw from the Master Servicer Collection
Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement and the right of the Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee (and, if the Special Servicer is servicing such Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicing Fee) and other
amounts as provided in the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement) shall cause the Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Noteholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of
Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of
Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a
request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.



(02) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders and shall be and remain the



-16-



---

sole and exclusive property of the Issuer, subject to the pledge to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.



Section III.09 Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance
Policies.



(01) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.



(02) Pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Servicer
or the Master Servicer, under any insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicing Agreement) shall be
deposited into the Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to
do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to
be made to Noteholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.



Section III.10 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement)
cause the Servicer to prepare and present on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the
insureds claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to the Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts
shall be promptly deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation
of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).



Section III.11 Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.



(01) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit the Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the Servicing
Agreement) to take, any action that would result in noncoverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer or the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master
Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to



-17-



---

keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance),
primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit the Servicer (to the extent required
under the Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable.



(02) The Master Servicer agrees to present, or to cause the Servicer (to the extent required under the Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, claims to the
insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section
4.01 and 4.02, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 4.03.

Section III.21 Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.



(01) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a
Calendar Quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more or is an REO Property, the Servicer (which, notwithstanding Section 3.03(f), for purposes of this Section shall only refer to HomeBanc and not the Special Servicer) shall have the right to
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Estate at a price equal to the Repurchase Price; provided however (i) that such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent or is an REO Property as of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase
option, if not theretofore exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related Calendar Quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not be thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan
thereafter again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the related Calendar Quarter.



(02) If at any time the Servicer remits to the Master Servicer a payment for
deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account covering the amount of the Repurchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer provides to the Indenture Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount
of such payment has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account, then the Indenture Trustee shall execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan to the Servicer, without recourse, representation or warranty and the Servicer shall succeed
to all of the Indenture Trustees right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Servicer will thereupon own
such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders with respect thereto.



Section III.22 Monthly Advances. If the Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due on a related Due Date is delinquent other than as a
result of application of the Relief Act and for which the Servicer was required to make an advance pursuant to the Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account which will be used for an advance with
respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the Payment Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the related Payment Date an amount equal to such deficiency, net of the
Servicing Fee (and, if the Special Servicer is servicing such Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicing Fee) for such Mortgage Loan except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Subject to the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such advances through the date that the Servicer is required to do so under the Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer deems an advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, on the Payment Account
Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officers Certificate to the Indenture Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make a Monthly Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to
be a Nonrecoverable Advance.



Section III.23 Compensating
Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than each Payment Account Deposit Date an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of the aggregate amounts required to be paid by the

pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicers willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder,
provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Indemnified Person shall have given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly after such
Indemnified Person shall have with respect to such claim or legal action knowledge thereof. The Master Servicers failure to receive any such notice shall not affect an Indemnified Persons right to indemnification hereunder, except to the
extent the Master Servicer is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, Owner Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator and the termination
of this Agreement. The Seller agrees to indemnify the Owner Trustee for any loss, liability or expense for which the Depositor is required to indemnify the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Trust Agreement, other than (x) any loss
liability or expense required to be covered by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 5.03 (y) and any loss, liability or expense already paid by the Depositor in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Trust Agreement.

Section V.04 Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others. Subject to the obligation
of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 5.03:



(01) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Depositor, the Trust Estate or the
Noteholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against
any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Persons willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.



(02) The Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.



(03) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Estate and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with,
arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes or the Servicing Agreement (except to the extent that the Master Servicer is
indemnified by the Servicer thereunder), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense related to the Master Servicers failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicers willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason
of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.



(04) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement or the Indenture and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Noteholders hereunder and thereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Estate, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Collection Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in this Subsection 5.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicers obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure,
the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 3.01(a).



(05) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make
recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust Estate might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but shall give written notice to the Indenture Trustee if it has notice
of such potential liabilities.



-30-



---

(06) The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein.



Section V.05 Master
Servicer Not to Resign. Except as provided in Section 5.07, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon a determination that any such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law and such impermissibility cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer to such effect delivered
to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Company or the Indenture Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master Servicer.



Section V.06 Successor Master Servicer. In connection with the
appointment of any successor master servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Company or the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on the
Mortgage Loans as the Company or the Indenture Trustee and such successor master servicer shall agree. If the successor master servicer does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor master servicer shall obtain two quotations
of market value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation payable to a successor master servicer may not exceed the compensation which the Master Servicer
would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.



Section V.07 Sale and Assignment of Master Servicing. The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations in
its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the Company may terminate the Master Servicer without cause and select a new Master Servicer; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation
(a) shall be a Person which shall be qualified (or have an Affiliate that is qualified) to service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency
pursuant to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Indenture Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer under
this Agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agencys rating of the Notes in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale and
delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; (iii) the Master Servicer
assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent to
such action under this Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by



-31-

and complies with the terms of this Agreement; and (iv) in the event the Master Servicer is terminated without cause by
the Company, the Company shall pay the terminated Master Servicer a termination fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans is transferred to the
successor Master Servicer. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

ARTICLE VI

Default



Section VI.01
Master Servicer Events of Default. Master Servicer Event of Default, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Master Servicer Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or
involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and only with respect to the defaulting Master Servicer:



(01) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in
the Payment Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to this Agreement (other than a Monthly Advance), and such failure continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer; or



(02) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially
affect the rights of Noteholders, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the
Indenture Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 25% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes; or



(03) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and
the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is
not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or



(04) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or
substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations;



(05) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 5.05 or 5.07; or



(06) The Master Servicer fails to deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the
Payment Account any Monthly Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Payment Account Deposit Date.



-33-



---

In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer shall
not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 51% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by such
Noteholders), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, and with the consent of the Company, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the
REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the
Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 6.02, automatically and without further action pass
to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all
documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicers rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Indenture Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust Estate or which thereafter become part of the Trust Estate; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by
the Indenture Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicers duties thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this
Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause
(vi) of this Section 6.01 shall occur of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has received written notice or has actual knowledge, the Indenture Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by
telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Noteholder or to reimbursement of Monthly Advances and other
advances of its own funds, and the Indenture Trustee shall thereupon become the successor Master Servicer as provided in Section 6.02 and carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Monthly Advance the
nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 6.01. Any such action taken by the Indenture Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Payment Date.



Section VI.02 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (01)
Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.01 or an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 5.05 to the effect that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate



-34-



---

its duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the Indenture Trustee shall automatically become the successor in
all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that the Seller shall have the right to either (a) immediately assume the duties of the Master Servicer or (b) select a successor Master Servicer; provided
further, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability (including advances deemed recoverable and not previously made with respect to the relevant Payment Date giving rise to the Master
Servicer Event of Default which shall be made by such successor Master Servicer ) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As compensation therefor, but subject to Section 5.06, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled
to compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances
previously made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
any established housing and home finance institution which is a Fannie Mae- or Freddie Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, as the successor to the
Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency that the ratings, if
any, on each of the Notes will not be lowered as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor and act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that the provisions of Section 5.06 shall apply, the compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that such successor
shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Indenture Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.



(02) If the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a
separate capacity and not in its capacity as Indenture Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VI of the Indenture shall be inapplicable to the Indenture Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer in the servicing of
the Mortgage Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Indenture Trustee); the provisions of Article V, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as successor master servicer.



Section VI.03 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination or
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register and to the Rating Agencies.



-35-



---

Section VI.04 Waiver of Defaults. The Indenture Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Noteholders,
within 60 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee received written notice or has actual knowledge, unless such Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured,
notice of each such Master Servicer Event of Default. The Holders of Notes aggregating at least 51% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its
obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made any required distribution on the Notes, which default may only be waived by Holders of Notes aggregating 100% of the Note Principal
Balance of the Notes. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Indenture Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.

shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT



MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 30, 2004, as amended and supplemented by any and all amendments hereto
(collectively, the Agreement), by and between EMC MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the Mortgage Loan Seller) and STRUCTURED ASSET MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS II INC., a Delaware corporation (the Purchaser).



Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, certain conventional, first lien mortgage loans secured primarily by one- to four-family residential properties and individual condominium units (collectively,
the Mortgage Loans) as described herein. The Purchaser has established HomeBanc Mortgage Trust 2004-1, a Delaware statutory trust (the Issuer) pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2004, as amended and restated
on July 30, 2004, among the Purchaser, the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as certificate registrar and certificate paying agent. The Purchaser intends to sell the Mortgage Loans to the Issuer pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of July 30, 2004 among the Purchaser, the Issuer, the Mortgage Loan Seller, U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee (the Indenture Trustee) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as securities administrator (in
such capacity the Securities Administrator) and as master servicer (in such capacity the Master Servicer). The Issuer, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of July 30, 2004 (the Indenture) among the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Securities Administrator, intends to pledge the Mortgage Loans to the Indenture Trustee and, issue and transfer to the Purchaser the HomeBanc Mortgage Trust 2004-1, Mortgage-Backed Notes, Series 2004-1 and the Certificates
issued pursuant to the Trust Agreement (the Certificates). The Certificates will be transferred by the Purchaser to the Mortgage Loan Seller as partial consideration for the sale of the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer will master
service the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Issuer, pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. Primary servicing of the Mortgage Loans will be provided by HomeBanc Corp. (the Servicer) pursuant to a Purchase, Warranties and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2004 (the HomeBanc Servicing Agreement) between the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Servicer and HMB Acceptance Corp., which (other than with respect to certain rights of the Mortgage Loan Seller against the
Servicer) will be assigned to the Issuer on the Closing Date.



The Purchaser has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) a registration statement on Form S-3 (Number 333-115122) relating to its Mortgage-Backed Notes and the offering of certain series thereof
(including certain classes of the Notes) from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the Securities Act). Such
registration statement, when it became effective under the Securities Act, and the prospectus relating to the public offering of certain classes of the Notes by the Purchaser (the Public Offering), as each may be amended or supplemented
from time to time pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise, are referred to herein as the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, respectively. The Prospectus Supplement shall mean that supplement, dated
July 29, 2004 to the Prospectus, dated May 14, 2004, relating to certain classes of the Notes. With respect to the Public Offering of certain classes of the Notes, the Purchaser, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. (Bear Stearns) and J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc. (J.P. Morgan; together with Bear Stearns, the Underwriters) have entered into a terms agreement dated as of July 29, 2004 to an underwriting agreement dated December 30, 2003, between the Purchaser and
Bear Stearns (collectively, the Underwriting Agreement).

(a) On or before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller will have made the Mortgage Files available to
the Purchaser or its agent for examination which may be at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or the Mortgage Loan Seller and/or the Mortgage Loan Sellers custodian. The fact that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed to
conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the Purchasers rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan
Seller shall make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from time to time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm the Mortgage Loan Sellers compliance with the delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and
the Sale and Servicing Agreement. In addition, upon request of the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to provide to the Purchaser, the Underwriters and to any investors or prospective investors in the Notes information



E-8

regarding the Mortgage Loans and their servicing, to make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser, the Underwriters
and to such investors or prospective investors (which may be at the offices of the Mortgage Loan Seller and/or the Mortgage Loan Sellers custodian) and to make available personnel knowledgeable about the Mortgage Loans for discussions with the
Purchaser, the Underwriters and such investors or prospective investors, upon reasonable request during regular business hours, sufficient to permit the Purchaser, the Underwriters and such investors or potential investors to conduct such due
diligence as any such party reasonably believes is appropriate.

after the receipt by the Indenture Trustee or Custodian thereof), the Custodian will review items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Purchaser and the Indenture Trustee an interim
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Two to the Custodial Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds any document listed on Exhibit 1 has not been executed or received, or is unrelated, determined on the
basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule does not conform on its face to review criteria specified in Section 2.01 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement (a Material Defect), the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material Defect. The Mortgage Loan Seller
shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan Seller fails to correct or cure such Material Defect
within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the
date of notice, provide the Indenture Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such Material Defect relates solely to the inability of the Mortgage
Loan Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan
Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase
obligation shall not apply in the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been
returned by such office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording,
and delivery to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Mortgage Loan Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.

Purchaser, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee a final certification substantially in the form of Exhibit Three to the Custodial Agreement. If the Indenture Trustee or Custodian, as its agent, finds a Material Defect, the Indenture Trustee or the
Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Mortgage Loan Seller of such Material Defect. The Mortgage Loan Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Indenture Trustee or the
Custodian, as its agent, of the Material Defect and if the Mortgage Loan Seller fails to correct or cure such Material Defect within such period and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in the related
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Seller will, in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, within 90 days of the date of notice, provide the Indenture Trustee with a Substitute Mortgage Loan or purchase the related Mortgage Loan
at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such Material Defect relates solely to the inability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because
the originals of such documents, or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan Seller delivers such original documents
or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document
submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording
office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Mortgage Loan Seller within
thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.



(e) At the time of any substitution, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Substitute Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents and payments required to be delivered in connection with a
substitution pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or substitution, the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall (i) assign to the Mortgage Loan Seller and cause the
Custodian to release the documents (including, but not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage File) in the possession of the Custodian relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Mortgage Loan Seller title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.



Section 6. Recordation of Assignments of Mortgage.



(a) The Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause each assignment of the Security Instrument from the Mortgage Loan Seller to the
Indenture Trustee to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, unless (a) such recordation is not required by the Rating Agencies or an Opinion of Counsel has been provided to the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian)
which states that the recordation of such assignments is not necessary to protect the interests of the Noteholders in the related Mortgage Loans or (b) MERS is identified on the Mortgage or a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage, as the
Mortgagee of record solely as nominee for the Mortgage Loan Seller and its successors and assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, each



E-10



---

assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Mortgage Loan Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Notes aggregating at least 25% of the Note Principal Balance of the Notes, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default or an
Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgage Loan Seller and (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 6.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.



While each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the
Mortgage Loan Seller shall leave or cause to be left with the Indenture Trustee a certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. All customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation of the assignments of mortgage to the
Indenture Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Mortgage Loan Seller.



(b) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser, as contemplated
by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Mortgage Loan Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of the Mortgage Loan Seller, then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the transfer of the Mortgage Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest
in all of the Mortgage Loan Sellers right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Mortgage Loans and proceeds pursuant to Section 4 hereof, including all amounts, other than
investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in any accounts created pursuant to the Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the
Purchaser, the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes
of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons
holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and any subsequent assignment pursuant to the Indenture shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any
security interest created hereby. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Indenture.

Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,



E-21



---

liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Mortgage
Loan Sellers Information as identified in Exhibit 3, the omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the Mortgage Loan Seller and in which additional Mortgage Loan
Sellers Information is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with Mortgage Loan Sellers Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in
which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty assigned or made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in Section 7 or Section 8 hereof being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to
perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser and each other indemnified party for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.



The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Mortgage Loan Seller otherwise may have to the Purchaser or any other such indemnified party.



(b) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Mortgage Loan Seller
and its respective directors, officers and controlling persons (as defined in Section 15 of the Securities Act) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability or action in respect thereof, to which they or any of them may become subject,
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Purchasers Information as identified in Exhibit 4, the
omission to state in the Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto approved by the Purchaser and in which additional Purchasers Information is identified), in reliance upon and in conformity with the
Purchasers Information, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser
in Section 9 hereof being, or alleged to be, untrue or incorrect, or (iii) any failure by the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Purchaser shall reimburse the Mortgage Loan Seller, and each other indemnified party for
any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which
the Purchaser otherwise may have to the Mortgage Loan Seller, or any other such indemnified party,



(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify each party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 13 except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which it may have otherwise). In case
any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered
to the indemnified party promptly (but, in any event, within 30 days) after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel



E-22



---

shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been
authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice
of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between itself or themselves and the indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any claim or that
the interests of the indemnified party or parties are not substantially co-extensive with those of the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be liable only for the fees and expenses of one counsel in addition to one
local counsel in the jurisdiction involved. Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement or any claim or action effected without its written consent; provided, however,
that such consent was not unreasonably withheld.



(d) If the
indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to in Section 13,
then the indemnifying party shall in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such proportion
as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Mortgage Loan Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans, the transfer of the Certificates to the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the offering of the Notes and the other transactions contemplated hereunder. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.



(e) The parties hereto agree that reliance by an indemnified party on any publicly available information or any information or directions furnished by an indemnifying party shall not constitute negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct by such indemnified party.



Section 14.
Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing but may be delivered by facsimile transmission subsequently confirmed in writing. Notices to the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be directed to EMC Mortgage
Corporation, Mac Arthur Ridge II, 909 Hidden Ridge Drive, Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75038 (Telecopy: (972-444-2880)), and notices to the Purchaser shall be directed to Structured Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New

if received after normal business hours, then it shall be deemed to be received on the next business day.



Section 15. Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser retains the right to assign the Mortgage Loans and any or all of its interest under this
Agreement to the Issuer, with the understanding that the Issuer will then assign such rights to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the

---

Indenture, without the consent of the Mortgage Loan Seller, and, upon such assignment, the Indenture Trustee, as the
ultimate assignee, shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, the Purchaser shall remain entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 11, 13 and 17 hereto and as provided in Section 2(a).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole and exclusive right and remedy of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee with respect to a breach of representation or warranty of the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be the purchase or substitution obligations of the
Mortgage Loan Seller contained in Sections 5 and 7 hereof.



Section 16. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated (a) by the mutual consent of the parties hereto prior to the Closing Date, (b) by the Purchaser, if the conditions to the Purchasers obligation to close set forth under
Section 10(a) hereof are not fulfilled as and when required to be fulfilled or (c) by the Mortgage Loan Seller, if the conditions to the Mortgage Loan Sellers obligation to close set forth under Section 10(b) hereof are not fulfilled as and
when required to be fulfilled. In the event of termination pursuant to clause (b), the Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay, and in the event of termination pursuant to clause (c), the Purchaser shall pay, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the other in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event of a termination pursuant to clause (a), each party shall be responsible for its own expenses.



Section 17. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and
agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Mortgage Loan Seller submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser, delivery by the Purchaser to the Issuer and the pledge by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. Subsequent to the delivery of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan Sellers representations
and warranties contained herein with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to relate to the Mortgage Loans actually delivered to the Purchaser and included in the Final Mortgage Loan Schedule and any Substitute Mortgage Loan and not to those
Mortgage Loans deleted from the Preliminary Mortgage Loan Schedule pursuant to Section 3 hereof prior to the Closing.



Section 18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, the Agreement shall be
ineffective only to such extent, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.



Section 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.



Section 20. Amendment. This Agreement cannot be amended or modified in
any manner without the prior written consent of each party.

shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser and their permitted successors and assigns and, to the extent specified in Section 13 hereof, Bear Stearns, and their directors, officers and
controlling persons (within the meaning of federal securities laws). The Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to the Mortgage Loan
Sellers representations and warranties respecting the Mortgage Loans) to Issuer and that the Issuer may further assign such rights to the Indenture Trustee. Any person into which the Mortgage Loan Seller may be merged or consolidated (or any
person resulting from any merger or consolidation involving the Mortgage Loan Seller), any person resulting from a change in form of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any person succeeding to the business of the Mortgage Loan Seller, shall be considered
the successor of the Mortgage Loan Seller hereunder and shall be considered a party hereto without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act or consent on the part of any party hereto. Except as provided in the two
preceding sentences, this Agreement cannot be assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto without the written consent of the other parties to this Agreement and any such assignment or purported assignment shall be deemed null and void.

VERSION 5.6 REVISED, APPENDIX E



APPENDIX E: Standard & Poors Predatory Lending Categorization



REVISED July 7, 2004



Standard & Poors has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in Standard &
Poors High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the industry.
