 PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT 
 Seller desires to sell to Purchaser from time to time all of Seller’s beneficial right, title and interest in and to
designated pools of fully amortizing first lien residential Mortgage Loans eligible in the aggregate to back Securities, and the servicing rights relating thereto, with the terms described in related Takeout Commitments, each in the form of a 100%
beneficial ownership interest evidenced by a Participation Certificate. 
 Purchaser desires and may, in its sole discretion, purchase such
Participation Certificates from Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Seller, subject to the terms hereof, will cause delivery of the Related Participation Certificate evidencing a 100% beneficial ownership
interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing rights related thereto. Purchaser’s willingness to purchase any Participation Certificate evidencing a beneficial interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing rights related
thereto is at the sole discretion of Purchaser and based on Purchaser’s expectation, in reliance upon Seller’s representations and warranties herein, that such Mortgage Loans in the aggregate, constitute a pool or pools of mortgage loans
that are eligible to back a Security, which will be purchased by a Takeout Investor. 
 The amount of the Purchase Price and the Completion
Fee to be paid by Purchaser to Seller with respect to each Participation Certificate will be calculated on the expectation of Purchaser, based upon the representations and warranties of Seller herein, that the Takeout Investor will purchase the

set forth in this Agreement or in the Custodial Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days (or such longer period provided in the relevant notice to Seller) after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to Seller by Purchaser; or 
 (iii) any representation, warranty or
certification made or deemed made herein or in the Custodial Agreement by Seller or any certificate furnished to Purchaser pursuant to the provisions thereof, shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the time made
or furnished; or 
 (iv) an Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller or any Parent Company; or 

(v) Seller ceases to meet the qualifications for maintaining all Approvals, or such Approvals are materially modified; or 

(vi) Seller attempts to assign its right to servicing compensation hereunder or to resell an ownership interest in a Related

responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof (to other than a subservicer); or

to Seller or it’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, any of its Affiliates, fails to continue to operate or conduct its business operations or any material portion thereof in the ordinary course, or Seller experiences any other

Document; or 
 (viii) Seller’s membership in MERS is terminated for any reason; or 

(ix) Seller shall default under, or fail to perform as requested under, or shall otherwise materially breach the terms of any

 - 15 - 

 (x) failure by Seller to be in compliance with the “doing business” or
licensing laws of any jurisdiction where a Mortgaged Property is located. 
 Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may terminate Seller’s
rights and obligations as subservicer of the affected Related Mortgage Loans and require Seller to deliver the related Servicing Records to Purchaser or its designee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (i) a Servicing Termination
Event, (ii) Seller’s failure to comply with any of its obligations set forth in Section 5(c), or (iii) Seller’s breach of Sections 9(a)(viii) or 9(b)(xii), by delivering written notice to Seller requiring such termination.
Such termination shall be effective upon Seller’s receipt of such written notice; provided, that Seller’s subservicing rights shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6(e)(iv), regardless
of whether notice of such event shall have been given to or by Purchaser or Seller; provided that no exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 6 shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this
Agreement. Upon any such termination, all authority and power of Seller respecting its rights to subservice and duties under this Agreement relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer appointed by Purchaser and Purchaser
is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the affected Related Mortgage Loans for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine; provided, that to the extent the Purchaser receives
the Takeout Purchase Price from the Takeout Investor for any Mortgage Loan, Purchaser shall convey the servicing rights and the rights to subservice such Mortgage Loans in accordance with such Takeout Investor’s instructions. Seller shall
perform all acts and take all actions so that the Related Mortgage Loans and all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans held by Seller, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans, are delivered to Successor
Servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the Successor Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the Successor Servicer’s possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Mortgage
Loans and do or cause to be done, all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited to, the transfer, endorsement and assignment of the Related Mortgage Loans and
related documents, at Seller’s sole expense all at Seller’s sole expense. To the extent that the approval of the Applicable Agency is required for any such sale or transfer, Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchaser to obtain such
approval. All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Related Mortgage Loans shall be the property of Purchaser. The subservicing rights required to be delivered to Successor Servicer in accordance with this
Section 6(e) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller or any third party (other than Purchaser) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller other than bare legal title to the
Mortgage Loans. No exercise by Purchaser of its rights under this Section 6(e) shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement. 

Upon any termination of Seller as subservicer pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii) or Section 6(e), (x) Purchaser is hereby authorized
and empowered to sell and transfer the servicing rights appurtenant to the Related Mortgage Loans for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchaser shall reasonably determine, and (y) Purchaser’s obligation to pay and
Seller’s right to receive any portion of the Completion Fee relating to such Mortgage Loans shall automatically be canceled and become null and void, provided that such cancellation shall in no way relieve Seller or otherwise affect the
obligation of Seller to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless under this Agreement. Upon any such termination, Seller shall have no right to sell or transfer such rights to subservice the Related Mortgage Loans. 

Section 7. Transfers of Participation Certificates by Purchaser. 

Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Seller, sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all of its right, title and
interest or grant a security interest in any Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights and all rights of Purchaser under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Custodial Account) in respect of such Participation
Certificate to any person (an “Assignee”), subject only to an obligation on the part of the Assignee to deliver each Related Mortgage Loan to the Takeout Investor or 

  
 - 16 - 

 
to Purchaser to permit Purchaser or its designee to make delivery thereof to the Takeout Investor. Assignment by Purchaser of a Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights as
provided in this Section 7 will not release Purchaser from its obligations otherwise under this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, an assignment of a Participation Certificate and the related servicing rights to an Assignee, as
described in this Section 7, shall be effective upon delivery of the Participation Certificate to the Assignee or its designee, together with a duly executed Assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit E (with a copy to Seller). 

Section 8. Record Title to Mortgage Loans; Intent of Parties; Security Interest. 

(a) From and after the issuance and delivery of the Related Participation Certificate, and subject to the remedies of Purchaser in
Section 5, Seller as subservicer shall remain the last named payee or endorsee of each Mortgage Note and the mortgagee or assignee of record of each Mortgage (except with respect to any MERS Mortgage Loan) and shall retain only bare legal title
(and not an equitable interest) in the Related Mortgage Loan, in trust for the benefit of Purchaser for the sole purpose of facilitating the subservicing of such Mortgage Loan. Where Seller has appointed FHLMC as Custodian, the parties hereto
acknowledge that the Mortgage Notes acquired hereunder have been deposited with FHLMC to facilitate the issuance of FHLMC Securities with respect thereto and that prior to such issuance FHLMC is holding such Mortgage Notes as Custodian for
Purchaser. 
 (b) Seller shall maintain a complete set of books and records for each Related Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly marked to
reflect the beneficial ownership interest in each Related Mortgage Loan of the holder of the Related Participation Certificate. Seller shall notify MERS of the beneficial ownership interest of Purchaser in each MERS Mortgage Loan through the MORNET
system or any other comparable system acceptable to MERS. Upon request of Purchaser, Seller shall prepare and deliver to MERS an Assignment of Mortgage from MERS to Purchaser or its designee. Upon due execution by MERS, Seller shall cause such
Assignment of Mortgage to be recorded in the public land records upon request of Purchaser. 
 (c) Purchaser and Seller confirm that the
transactions contemplated herein are intended to be sales of the Participation Certificates by Seller to Purchaser rather than borrowings secured by the Participation Certificates. In the event, for any reason, any transaction is construed by any
court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, Seller and Purchaser intend that Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, shall have a perfected first priority security interest in Seller’s interest in the
Participation Certificates, all of the servicing rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and all amounts on deposit therein, the Related Mortgage Loans subject to each Participation Certificate, all documents,
records (including Servicing Records), instruments and data evidencing the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing thereof, the Takeout Commitments and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”),
free and clear of adverse claims, to secure Seller’s obligations to Purchaser hereunder. In such case, Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and
lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims, to secure Seller’s obligations to Purchaser hereunder. In such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian
for purposes of perfection of the security interest herein granted to Purchaser, and Purchaser or each such Assignee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.

proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, or before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller (or, to Seller’s knowledge, any basis therefor) wherein an

principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or (B) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and shall not be subject to reduction below such amount through the operation of a coinsurance, reduced rate contribution or similar clause; 

(iii) The Mortgage Loan conforms in all respects to the requirements of this Agreement, the Sale Agreement, and the terms of

(xv) No predatory or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to, the extension of credit to a mortgagor without

Mortgaged Property, such Appraised Value being, for the purposes hereof, the amount set forth in an appraisal (provided, that, with respect to each HARP Mortgage Loan, the related Agency has provided a reliable AVM (automated valuation model)

provisions of such primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage Loan subject to any such policy of primary
mortgage guaranty insurance obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The original principal amount of the related Mortgage Note was not more than 100% of the lesser of
the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the related Mortgaged Property paid by the related Mortgagor at the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No action, event or state of facts exists or has existed which, because of its involving or arising

otherwise would be provided by such insurance;

property;

cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan; 
 (xxxvii)
The related Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage, an Assignment of Mortgage from Seller in blank (except with respect to MERS Mortgage Loans), and any other documents required to be delivered with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the

(xxxviii) To the best of Seller’s knowledge, no error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar
occurrence with respect to the Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including without limitation the related Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan

the related Takeout Investor has been notified that the mortgagee of record is MERS and has consented to such assignment of such MERS Mortgage Loan; 

(xl) The related Mortgagor was not required to purchase any credit insurance product (e.g., life, mortgage, disability,

cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;

Mortgage Loan was not selected from the outstanding one- to four-family mortgage loans in Seller’s portfolio as to which the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement could be made at the related Purchase Date in a manner so as
to affect adversely the interests of Purchaser; and 

  
 - 24 -
