Annual Contributions

 

The Annual Contribution shall be credited to the Executive’s Account as of the first business day of each fiscal year to which such Annual Contribution relates, commencing July 2010.  The Annual Contribution for fiscal year 2010 and for all subsequent fiscal years through the fiscal year in which the Executive’s sixty fifth (65th) birthday occurs shall be specified in each Executive’s Participation Agreement provided that the Annual Contribution for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s sixty fifth (65th) birthday occurs shall be an amount specified in each Executive’s Participation Agreement multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in such calendar year prior to the Executive’s birthday and the denominator of which is 365.

 

	
3.2  

	
Discretionary Contributions

 

The Bank may, but is not obligated to, make Discretionary Contributions to the Executive’s Account from time to time.  Discretionary Contributions shall be credited at such times and in such amounts as recommended by the Committee and approved by the Board in its sole discretion.

 

	
3.3  

	
Executive Deferrals

 

Executive will be permitted to make voluntary deferrals of a percentage (up to 50%) of his base salary and/or a percentage (up to 100%) of his annual incentive bonus, and such voluntary deferrals will be credited to his Account as of the date on which the payments otherwise would have been received by the Executive.  Voluntary deferral elections for a calendar year will be made on a form to be provided by the Bank prior to the commencement of the calendar year to which it relates.  The Executive will complete and file a copy of the form with the Committee, also prior to the calendar year to which it relates.  An Executive who first becomes eligible to participate on a date other than the first day of the calendar year must make such election within 30 days of first becoming eligible.  Such an election must be irrevocable during the calendar year and will continue in effect for future calendar years, unless the Executive changes the election prior to the commencement of such future calendar year in the manner described herein.

On the first day of the Bank’s fiscal year (July 1), or such other date or dates during the fiscal year as the Committee shall from time to time determine, earnings shall be credited to Executive’s account in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) a fixed 5% annual interest rate, or (b) 75% of the Bank’s average return on equity during the prior three fiscal years (July 1 to June 30), as appropriate.  The amount of earnings credited to deferrals made pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Plan shall be pro-rated, as necessary, to account for deferrals that may be made on or after the first business day of a fiscal year.

 

	
3.5  

	
Determination of Account Balance

 

The balance in the Executive’s Account as of any date shall consist of the balance of the Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date, adjusted as follows:

 

	
(a)  

	
Annual Contributions The Account shall be increased by any Annual Contributions credited since such prior Valuation Date as set forth above or as directed by the Committee.

(d)  

	
Distributions   The Account shall be reduced by the amount of each benefit payment made from that Account since the prior Valuation Date.

If the Executive incurs a Separation from Service after the completion of 10 years of service from the Effective Date, the Executive’s rights with respect to the Annual Contributions and Discretionary Contributions (and earnings thereon) shall become one-hundred percent (100%) vested.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding Section 3.6(a), the Executive will always be one-hundred percent (100%) vested in the Executive’s Deferrals (and earnings thereon).  Executive’s rights with respect to the Account shall also vest in the event of the Executive’s death, Disability or Change in Control (prior to his Separation from Service) or Separation from Service as a result of a termination by the Bank other than for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason.

BENEFITS

 

	
4.1  

	
Benefit on Separation from Service

 

Commencing on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service for reasons other than death, Disability or within twenty-four months of a Change in Control (such date to be referred to herein as the “Payment Date”), an amount equal to the vested balance of the Account shall be paid to the Executive in annual installments over ten (10) years.  The first installment shall be equal to one-tenth (1/10th) of the balance of the Account, the second annual installment shall be equal to one-ninth (1/9th) of the remaining balance of the Account, and so on.  Each subsequent payment shall be made on the annual anniversary of the Payment Date.

4.2  

	
Benefit on Death or Disability

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event of the Executive’s death or Disability, the Bank shall pay to the Executive, in a single lump sum, the Present Value of the Executive’s Account within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such death or Disability.

 

	
4.3  

	
Benefit on Change in Control

 

	
(a)  

	
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event of the Executive’s Separation from Service within twenty-four months of a Change in Control, the Bank shall pay to the Executive, in a single lump sum, the Present Value of the Executive’s Account on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of such Separation from Service.

 

	
(b)  

	
In the event of a Change in Control, followed within twenty-four months by Executive’s Separation from Service occurring prior to Executive’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday as a result of the Bank’s termination of Executive’s employment other than for Cause or his resignation for Good Reason, the Bank shall pay to the Executive an amount equal to the Present Value on the payment date of the Annual Contributions which the Bank would have made to Executive’s Account for all fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the Separation from Service occurs (as well as for the year in which the Separation from Service occurs, if not previously made) through the fiscal year in which the Executive’s sixty fifth (65th) birthday occurs.  Such payment shall be made in a lump sum and shall be referred to herein as the “Additional Change in Control Payment”.  The Additional Change in Control Payment shall be made on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Separation from Service.

 

  

7

  

	
(c)  

	
 Notwithstanding Section 4.3(b) above, in the event that the aggregate payments to be made or afforded to Executive under this Plan would be deemed to include an “excess parachute payment” under Code Section 280G or any successor thereto, then such payments will be reduced to an amount (the “Non-Triggering Amount”), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to the total amount of payments permissible under Code Section 280G or any successor thereto.

 

	
4.4  

	
Change in Form or Timing of Benefit

 

In the event the Executive desires to change the form or time of a payment under this Plan, and such alternate form or time is permitted by the Committee, such change in election may be made on a form supplied by the Committee provided the following conditions are satisfied:

	
(a)  

	
any change in the form or timing must be elected at least 12 months before the benefit would otherwise be paid or commence,

	
(b)  

	
any change (in form or timing) must result in a five (5) year delay in the commencement of the effected payment (other than a payment upon death or Disability), and

	
(c)  

	
any change may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the election is made.

	
4.5  

	
Payments in Connection with a Domestic Relations Order

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Bank may make distributions to someone other than the Executive if such payment is necessary to comply with a domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B), involving the Executive.  Any such payment shall be made at the same time as payment would otherwise be made to the Executive hereunder.

 

	
4.6  

	
Withholding; Payroll Taxes

 

The Bank shall withhold from any payment made (or due to be made) pursuant to this Plan any taxes required to be withheld from such payments under local, state or federal law.

8

  

	
4.7  

	
Payment to Guardian

 

If an amount is payable hereunder to a minor or a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of the property, the Committee may direct payment to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such minor, incompetent or person.  The Committee may require proof of incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution.  Such distribution shall completely discharge the Committee and the Bank from all liability with respect to such benefit.

 

	
4.8  

	
Permitted Delay of Payment

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time of a specified payment date, the Committee determines that payment of a benefit under this Plan will jeopardize the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, such payment may be delayed by the Bank (acting through the Committee) until the first taxable year of the Bank in which making such payment under this Plan will not have such effect, as determined by the Committee.  In addition, if the payment of a Plan benefit would violate the terms of any applicable law, then the payment shall be delayed until the earliest date upon which making the distribution will not violate such law.

 

	
4.9  

	
Permitted Acceleration of Payment

 

In the event all or some portion of the Executive’s Account balance under this Plan is required to be included in the income of the Executive under Code Section 409A prior to the date such amount would otherwise be paid to the Executive under the terms of this Plan, the Bank shall make an interim distribution to the Executive in a lump sum in an amount equal to the amount required to be included in the Executive’s income.  Such interim payment shall be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Committee determines that the amount is includible in the income of the Executive.

 

	
4.10  

	
Effect of Payment

 

The full payment of the applicable benefit under this Article IV shall completely discharge all obligations on the part of the Bank to the Executive (and the Executive’s Beneficiary) with respect to the operation of this Plan, and the Executive’s (and the Executive’s Beneficiary’s) rights under this Plan shall terminate.

5.3  

	
No Beneficiary Designation

 

If the Executive fails to designate a Beneficiary in the manner provided above, if the designation is void, or if the Beneficiary designated by the Executive dies before the Executive or before complete distribution of the Executive’s benefits, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be the Executive’s surviving spouse, or if none, to Executive’s estate.

Unless the Board determines that such action would not be financially prudent or would otherwise be contrary to the best interests of the Bank, an amount equal to the Annual Contribution for a fiscal year shall be deposited in trust prior to the end of the fiscal year to which such Annual Contribution relates.

 

	
9.5

	3.	 	THE TRANSACTIONS

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Program Documents, Buyer shall, from time to
time enter into Transactions with an aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets at any one
time subject to Transactions hereunder not to exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price. Unless
otherwise agreed, Seller shall request that Buyer enter into a Transaction by delivering or
causing to be delivered (A) in the case of any Dry Loans or any Undocumented Loans (other than any
Dry Loans or Undocumented Loans that are Correspondent Loans), (i) a Transaction Notice,
appropriately completed, and an Asset Schedule to Buyer and Custodian, and (ii) the Mortgage File
to Custodian for each Loan proposed to be included in such Transaction (whether or not such Loan
is subject to a Participation Certificate), which Transaction Notice and Asset Schedule must be
received no

28

 

later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the requested Purchase
Date, (B) in the case of any Correspondent Loans, (i) a Transaction Notice, appropriately
completed, and an Asset Schedule to Buyer, Custodian and Disbursement Agent and a Correspondent
Seller Release, duly executed and delivered by each applicable Correspondent Seller, to the Buyer,
and (ii) the Mortgage File to Custodian for each Loan proposed to be included in such Transaction,
which Transaction Notice, Asset Schedule and Correspondent Seller Releases must be received no
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the requested Purchase Date or (C) in the case of
any Wet Loans, (i) a Transaction Notice, appropriately completed, and an Asset Schedule to Buyer,
Custodian and Disbursement Agent, and (ii) the Mortgage File to Custodian for each Loan proposed
to be included in such Transaction. The Transaction Notice and Asset Schedule relating to any AM
Funded Wet Loan must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) one Business Day
prior to the requested Purchase Date. The Asset Schedule relating to any PM Funded Wet Loan must
be received by no later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) and the Transaction Notice relating to
any PM Funded Wet Loan must be received by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), in each

the Eligible Loans that Seller proposes to include in the related Transaction shall clearly
indicate those Loans that are intended to be Undocumented Loans (other than Correspondent Loans),
AM Funded Wet Loans, PM Funded Wet Loans, Dry Loans (other than Correspondent Loans) or
Correspondent Loans (separately identifying Correspondent Loans that are Dry Loans and
Correspondent Loans that are Undocumented Loans). Each Transaction Notice shall specify the
proposed Purchase Date, Purchase Price, Pricing Rate and Repurchase Date (subject to Section
3(i)). Seller agrees to repurchase from Buyer, on the same Business Day of discovery, any
Undocumented Loans or Wet Loans that were previously subject to a Transaction that do not close
for any reason including, but not limited to, a Rescission. In the event that the parties hereto
desire to enter into a Transaction on terms other than as set forth in this Agreement and the
Transaction Notice, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, in electronic or other format, a “Confirmation”
specifying such terms prior to entering into such Transaction, including, without limitation, the
Purchase Date, the Purchase Price, the Pricing Rate therefor and the Repurchase Date. By entering
in to a Transaction with Buyer, Seller consents to the terms set forth in any related
Confirmation. Any such Transaction Notice and the related Confirmation, if any, together with
this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed to between Buyer and
Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Transaction Notice and Confirmation, if any,
relates. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any Confirmation, the terms of
such Confirmation shall control with respect to the related Transaction.

     (b) Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Applicable Custodial
Agreement, the Custodian shall review any Required Documents delivered to it and shall deliver to
Buyer, via Electronic Transmission acceptable to Buyer, Custodian Loan Transmissions and Exception
Reports showing the status of all Loans then held by the Custodian, including but not limited to
the Undocumented Loans (other than Correspondent Loans), Wet Loans, Dry Loans (other than
Correspondent Loans) and Correspondent Loans (including whether such Correspondent Loans are Dry
Loans or Undocumented Loans) subject to Exceptions, and the time the related Loan Documents have
been released pursuant to Sections 6(b) or Section 7 of the Applicable Custodial Agreement. In
addition, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Applicable Custodial
Agreement, the

29

 

Custodian shall deliver to Buyer on each Purchase Date and such other dates as specified in
the Applicable Custodial Agreement, one or more Trust Receipts relating to the Loans. The
original copies of each Trust Receipt shall be delivered to JPMorgan Chase Bank at 4 New York

account of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, telephone number (212) 623-7235, as agent for Buyer by
overnight delivery using a nationally recognized insured overnight delivery service.

     (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above requiring the execution of
a Transaction Notice and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian prior to the Purchase
Date, with respect to each Transaction involving a Wet Loan or an Undocumented Loan (including any
Correspondent Loan that is an Undocumented Loan), Seller shall, in lieu of delivering the Mortgage
Files with respect to such Wet Loans and Undocumented Loans on such Purchase Date or date of
substitution: (i) prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately

the related Purchase Date or date of substitution of any AM Funded Wet Loans deliver to the
Custodian a Wet Loan Schedule, setting forth a list of all such AM Funded Wet Loans and cause the
Custodian to deliver to Buyer, by no later than 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such preceding
Business Day, a Notice of Intent to Issue Trust Receipt, with respect thereto, in accordance with
the Custody Agreement, (iv) prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Purchase Date or date
of substitution of any PM Funded Wet Loans deliver to the Custodian a Wet Loan Schedule setting

30

 

     (d) Upon Seller’s request to enter into a Transaction pursuant to Section 3(a), provided no
Default, Event of Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, and
provided all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 and in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) have been
met, (i) with respect to Dry Loans or Undocumented Loans (other than any Dry Loans or Undocumented
Loans that are Correspondent Loans), by 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day
preceding the requested Purchase Date, (ii) with respect to AM Funded Wet Loans, by 6:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the Business Day preceding the requested Purchase Date, (iii) with respect to
PM Funded Wet Loans, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time) on the requested Purchase Date or (iv)
with respect to Correspondent Loans, by 1:00 p.m. on the requested Purchase Date, Buyer shall
purchase the Eligible Loans included in the related Transaction Notice by transferring, via wire
transfer (pursuant to Wire Instructions provided by Seller to Buyer and, in the case of any Wet
Loans or Correspondent Loans, to Disbursement Agent, on or prior to such Purchase Date), the
Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay such Purchase Price (i) with respect to Dry Loans or Undocumented
Loans (other than any Dry Loans or Undocumented Loans that are Correspondent Loans), not later
than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the requested Purchase Date, (ii) with respect to AM Funded
Wet Loans, not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the requested Purchase Date, (iii)
with respect to PM Funded Wet Loans, not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the

the requested Purchase Date. Purchases of Wet Loans and Correspondent Loans shall be consummated
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Disbursement Agent Agreement.

     (e) [Reserved].

     (f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of
any LIBO Base Rate:

     (i) Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of
interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBO Base Rate”
in Section 2 are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities
for purposes of determining rates of interest for Transactions as provided herein; or

     (ii) Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the Applicable
Margin plus the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBO Base Rate”
in Section 2 upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Transactions is to be
determined is not likely adequately to cover the cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding
Assets hereunder; or

     (iii) it becomes unlawful for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a Pricing Rate
based on the LIBO Base Rate;

then Buyer shall give Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in
effect, Buyer shall be under no obligation to purchase Assets hereunder, and Seller shall, at its
option, either repurchase such Assets or pay a Pricing Rate at a rate per annum as determined by
Buyer taking into account the increased cost to Buyer of purchasing and holding the Assets.

31

 

     (g) Seller shall repurchase Purchased Assets from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date.
Each obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or
foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset. Seller is obligated to obtain the Purchased
Assets from Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Seller’s expense on (or after) the
related Repurchase Date. Any amounts required to be paid to Buyer under this Section 3(g) must be
received by Buyer and the computer tape relating to the Purchased Assets being repurchased under
this Section 3(g) must be uploaded to the Buyer’s website by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
related Repurchase Date.

     (h) Provided that the applicable conditions in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) have been satisfied, a
Purchased Asset that is repurchased by Seller on the Repurchase Date shall, without further action
on the part of Buyer or Seller, become subject to a new Transaction. Buyer shall purchase the
related Eligible Assets pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3(d). For each new
Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be
settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in
the Pricing Side Letter.

     (i) If Seller intends to repurchase any Loans on any day which is not a Repurchase Date,
Seller shall give one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice thereof to Buyer. If such notice is
given, the Repurchase Price specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein, which amount shall include the Price Differential to such date on the amount
prepaid. Such early repurchases shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000.
Any amounts required to be paid to Buyer under this Section 3(i) must be received by Buyer, and
the computer tape relating to the Purchased Assets being repurchased under this Section 3(i) must
be uploaded to the Buyer’s website, by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date of repurchase.

     (j) [Reserved.]

     (k) If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s
certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any
change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

     (i) shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any Assets purchased pursuant to it (excluding net income taxes) or change the
basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

     (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
advance or similar requirement against assets held by deposits or other liabilities in or
for the account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of
funds by any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the
LIBO Base Rate hereunder;

     (iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

32

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer
deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases hereunder, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced
amount receivable thereafter incurred.

     If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law
(other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws
or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation
or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request
or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall
promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate Buyer for
such reduction.

     If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it
shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by Buyer to
Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     (l) With respect to each Purchased Participation Certificate that is subject to a Transaction
hereunder, the Security that is issued on the related Conversion Date (provided it is an Eligible
Security) shall replace the Participation Certificate as the Purchased Asset, and from and after
the Conversion Date, the Purchased Asset subject to such Transaction shall be the Purchased
Security. For the avoidance of doubt, any Eligible Security that is issued with respect to the
Eligible Loans underlying a Purchased Participation Certificate shall, on the Conversion Date,
replace the Purchased Participation Certificate and automatically become subject to the
Transaction to which the Purchased Participation Certificate was subject. On the Conversion Date
or as soon as possible thereafter, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a duly executed Trade Assignment.
Seller shall provide Buyer with notice of the identity of the Takeout Investor in respect of such
Security on the Conversion Date or as soon as possible thereafter.

4. PAYMENTS; COMPUTATION; COMMITMENT AND NON-UTILIZATION FEES

     (a) Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments to be
made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds,
without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer
at JPMorgan Chase Bank, Account Number 140095961, For the A/C of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc,
ABA# 021000021, Attn: Brett Kibbe, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on
which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be
deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Seller acknowledges that it has no
rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

33

 

     (b) Computations. The Price Differential shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in
the period for which payable.

     (c) Renewal Commitment Fee. Seller agrees to pay to Buyer the Renewal Commitment Fee
on the Restatement Effective Date, such payment to be made in Dollars, in immediately available
funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim. Buyer may, in its sole discretion, net such
commitment fees from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid to Seller.

     (d) [Reserved].

     (e) Non-Utilization Fee. On a quarterly basis and on the Termination Date, Buyer
shall determine the average quarterly utilization during the preceding quarter (or with respect to
the Termination Date, during the period from the date through which the last non-utilization fee
calculation has been made to the Termination Date) by Seller by dividing (a) the sum of the
Purchase Prices outstanding on each day during such period, by (b) the number of days in such
period. If such average amount determined for any period as a percentage of the Committed Amount
(the “Utilization Percentage”) is less than 30%, Seller shall pay to Buyer on the Payment
Date on or immediately succeeding such date of calculation or Termination Date, as applicable, a
non-utilization fee equal to the product of (i) 0.15% per annum, times (ii) the Committed Amount,
times (iii) 1 minus the Utilization Percentage (the “Non-Utilization Fee”). If the
Utilization Percentage in any period is greater than or equal to 30%, Buyer shall not be paid a
Non-Utilization Fee for that period. All payments shall be made to Buyer in Dollars, in
immediately available funds, without deduction, setoff or counterclaim. Buyer may, in its sole
discretion, net such Non-Utilization Fee from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid to any
Seller.

5. TAXES; TAX TREATMENT

     (a) All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and
without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest
and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income
taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the net income of Buyer
by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized
or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (collectively,
“Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date
when due. If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in
respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding;
(b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later
than the date when due; (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence
satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to
Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of
all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no
such deduction or withholding had been made.

34

 

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

     (c) Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Taxes (including additional
amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by
any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5, and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer
shall have provided Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of payment of Taxes
or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

     (d) Any Buyer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State
thereof, or the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer”) shall provide Seller with
properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or
any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to
benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate
of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to
this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. Each Foreign
Buyer will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior
submission or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in
circumstances” with respect to such Foreign Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg.
Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to
provide Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 5(d)
(unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the
date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be
entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 5(c) with respect to Taxes
imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer,
which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure
to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall, at no cost or expense to Seller, take such
steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such
Taxes.

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

     (f) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S.
federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of
Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller
in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such
treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

35

 

6. MARGIN MAINTENANCE

     (a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all
Transactions is less than the aggregate MV Margin Amount for all such Transactions (such event, a
“Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may, by notice to Seller, require Seller in such
Transactions to transfer to Buyer cash or, at Buyer’s option (and provided Seller has additional
Eligible Assets), additional Eligible Assets (“Additional Purchased Assets”) within the
timeframes set forth in Section 6(b), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased
Assets, including any such Additional Purchased Assets, will thereupon equal or exceed such
aggregate MV Margin Amount (either requirement, a “Margin Call”); provided that if
Seller transfers cash, Buyer shall apply such cash in reduction of the then outstanding Repurchase
Price, such application to occur on the date of receipt by Buyer or, if such receipt occurs after
5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

     (b) Notice required pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any means provided in
Section 21. Any notice given on a Business Day at or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the same Business Day. Any notice given on a Business Day following 11:00 a.m. (New York City
time) shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on the following Business Day. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to
exercise its rights under this Section 6, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to
which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and
Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit
or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create
additional rights for Seller.

7. INCOME PAYMENTS

     Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in
respect of any Purchased Asset subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of
Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Buyer agrees that Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income
(other than any Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds) received in respect of the Purchased Assets,
whether by Buyer, Custodian, Disbursement Agent or any servicer or any other Person, which is not
otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Purchased Assets
had not been sold to Buyer; provided that any Income received by Seller while the related
Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending
the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date; provided further that Seller shall
hold all such Income (other than any Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds) in the Collection Account.
Seller shall deposit all Income (other than any Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds) received by it
into the Collection Account within three (3) Business Days of Seller’s receipt thereof. Seller
shall direct all third party purchasers to deposit directly to the Third Party Loan Purchase
Proceeds Account the purchase price and all other amounts that relate to any third party’s purchase
from Seller from time to time of Purchased Assets that are subject to Transactions under this
Agreement. The Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account Bank shall transfer, on each Business
Day, or more often at the discretion of Seller, all amounts held in the Third Party Loan Purchase
Proceeds Account to an account designated by Buyer. Provided

36

 

no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Buyer shall, as the parties may agree with
respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably
determine in its sole discretion), on the Repurchase Date following the date any Income (including
any Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds remaining after giving effect to Buyer’s application on such
Repurchase Date of amounts that were deposited in the Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account as
described in this Section 7) is received by Buyer in the Collection Account or in the Third Party
Loan Purchase Proceeds Account (or a servicer on its behalf) either (i) transfer (or permit the
servicer or Seller to transfer) to Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Assets subject
to such Transaction and with respect to any asset of Seller that is no longer subject to a
Transaction, or (ii) if (x) a Margin Deficit then exists, or (y) any other Obligations then due and
owing by Seller to Buyer have not been paid in full, apply the Income payment to reduce the amount,
if any, to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not
be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (A) to the extent that such
action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously

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

     (a) Seller and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the
Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in
order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum
recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s
performance of all of its Obligations and as security for Seller’s, Guarantor’s or any of their
respective Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s performance of its obligations (other than the obligations
of an Asset Securitization Subsidiary or Guarantor’s obligations in connection with the Revolving
Credit Agreement) under any agreement (other than an agreement related to Securitization
Indebtedness or the Revolving Credit Agreement) by and among any such Person, on the one hand, and
Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, on the other hand, Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully
perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to
the following property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising: (i) all
Purchased Assets identified on a Transaction Notice delivered by Seller to Buyer and the Custodian
from time to time, (ii) any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Purchased
Assets, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available),
certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, Loan
accounting records and other books and records relating thereto in the possession of Seller or
Custodian, (iii) the Records, (iv) the Collection Account, the Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds
Account, all Income relating to such Purchased Assets and all Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds,
(v) all Takeout Commitments and Trade Assignments related to the Purchased Assets (including the
rights to receive the related Takeout Price and the Related Security as evidenced by such Trade
Assignments), (vi) all FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts and VA Loan Guaranty Agreements relating
to such Purchased Assets, (vii) all mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental
agencies or otherwise) and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such
mortgage guaranties or

37

 

insurance relating to any Purchased Assets and all claims and payments thereunder and all
rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing,
(viii) all interests in real property collateralizing any Purchased Assets, (ix) all other
insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Assets or the related
Mortgaged Property and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of
any of the foregoing, (x) any purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts or takeout
commitments relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing and all rights to receive
documentation relating thereto, (xi) all “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claims”,
“deposit accounts”, “documents,” “equipment”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”,
“inventory”, “investment property”, “letter of credit rights”, and “securities’ accounts” as each
of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code and all cash and Cash Equivalents and all
products and proceeds relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, and (xii) any and
all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any or all of the foregoing
(collectively the “Purchased Items”).

     (b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items
(including without limitation, any security interest Seller may have in the Purchased Assets and
any other collateral granted by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall
continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder.

     (c) Seller hereby grants and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of
its rights, title and interest in and to the servicing of the Purchased Assets, if any, and the
rights and proceeds related thereto, and in all instances whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired or arising. In addition, Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, further grants
and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest
in and to all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to the servicing of each
of the Purchased Assets, and all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Seller, in its
capacity as Servicer, and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and
distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, and in all instances
whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, and together with
the pledge of the servicing of the Purchased Assets in this clause (c), the “Related Credit
Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for
Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder.

     (d) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole
expense of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be
executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as
Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this
Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing
of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any
jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby
authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement to the extent permitted by
applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be
sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. This Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

38

 

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

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

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

whenever payable;

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

     (iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items or

behalf of Buyer; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any
and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or
arising out of any Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement; (C) to sign and endorse
any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any
Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits,
actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect
the Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any
other right in respect of any

39

 

Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement; (E) to defend any suit, action or
proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Items or Related Credit
Enhancement; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in
clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer
may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement
with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement as
fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and
to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts
and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased
Items and Related Credit Enhancement and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of
this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

          Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

          Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time,

Related Credit Enhancement.

     (g) The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the
Purchased Items and Related Credit Enhancement and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a
result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except
for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     (h) If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program
Documents then Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance,
with such agreement, and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer incurred in connection
with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to
the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute
Obligations.

     (i) Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the
Purchased Items and any Related Credit Enhancement in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the
Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer deals
with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or
employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the
Purchased Items or any Related Credit Enhancement or for any delay in doing so or shall be under
any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of Seller or
otherwise.

     (j) All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Purchased Items and
any Related Credit Enhancement are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

10. RELEASE OF PURCHASED ASSETS

     (a) With respect to any Purchased Asset, other than any Purchased Asset that is sold by
Seller to Fannie Mae in an Early Funding Transaction, upon timely payment in full of the
Repurchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset and all other Obligations (if any) then
owing, unless a Default, Event of Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be
continuing, then (i) Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated any security interest that Buyer

45

 

may have in such Purchased Asset and any Purchased Items solely related to such Purchased
Asset and (ii) with respect to such Purchased Asset, Buyer shall direct Custodian to release such
Purchased Asset and any Purchased Items solely related to such Purchased Asset to Seller and shall
execute such customary security interest release documents as may be reasonably requested by
Seller, in each case unless such release and termination would give rise to or perpetuate a Margin
Deficit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall release all Purchased Items, notwithstanding
the occurrence of an Event of Termination, upon payment in full by Seller pursuant to Section 17
of the Repurchase Price for all Purchased Items then subject to outstanding Transactions and
payment in full of all other Obligations then due to Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates. Except
as set forth in Section 16, Seller shall give at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice
to Buyer if such repurchase shall occur on any date other than the Repurchase Date as specified in
Section 3(i). If such release and termination gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit,
Buyer shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller shall thereupon satisfy the Margin Call
in the manner specified in Section 6.

in such Early Funding Transaction) and (ii) wire transfer the Shortfall Amount, if any, relating
to such Early Funding Transaction to Buyer’s account in accordance with the Wiring Instructions
set forth in Section 2 of the applicable Tri-Party Agreement. In the event that Buyer shall not
have received from Seller, by 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the purchase date for any Early Funding
Transaction, the entire Shortfall Amount relating to such Early Funding Transaction, Buyer shall
send to Fannie Mae a Cut-Off Notice by no later than the applicable Cut-Off Time. With respect to
any Purchased Asset to be sold to Fannie Mae in an Early Funding Transaction, if Buyer shall not
have sent to Fannie Mae a Cut-Off Notice identifying such Purchased Asset at or prior to the
applicable Cut-Off Time in accordance with Section 1(c) of the applicable Tri-Party Agreement,
upon receipt of the Purchase Proceeds with respect to such Purchased Asset in the Third Party Loan
Purchase Proceeds Account (a) Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated any security interest that
Buyer may have in such Purchased Asset and any Purchased Items solely related to such Purchased
Asset and (b) with respect to such Purchased Asset, Buyer shall direct Custodian to release such
Purchased Asset and any Purchased Items solely related to such Purchased Asset to Fannie Mae and
shall cause the execution of such customary security interest release documents as may be
reasonably requested by Fannie Mae. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall be construed as a
waiver or satisfaction of Seller’s obligation to remit any Shortfall Amount or any other amount
due and owing to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. If such release and termination gives rise to
or perpetuates a Margin Deficit, Buyer shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller shall
thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 6.

     (c) Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller that, as of the time on each Repurchase
Date that Buyer shall have received the Repurchase Price and released its interest in the related
Purchased Assets in accordance with the terms herein, such Purchased Assets repurchased by Seller
will be free and clear of all claims, liens, security interests and/or other encumbrances created
by or through Buyer.

46

 

11. RELIANCE

     With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no
liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Buyer reasonably
believes to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s
behalf.

12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that throughout the term of this Agreement:

     (a) Existence. Seller (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey, (b) has all requisite corporate or other
power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own
its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the
lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all
other jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually
or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance in all material
respects with all Requirements of Law.

     (b) Financial Condition. Seller has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of its
(1) consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and the related
consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for such fiscal year,
setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, with the opinion
thereon of a nationally recognized public accounting firm and (2) unaudited consolidated balance
sheet for the quarterly fiscal period(s) ended March 31, 2010 and the related unaudited
consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for it for such
quarterly fiscal period(s), setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the
previous year. All such financial statements are complete and correct in all material respects
and fairly present the consolidated financial condition of Seller and its Subsidiaries and the
consolidated results of their operations for the fiscal year or quarter, as applicable, ended on
said date, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2009
there has been no development or event nor any prospective development or event which has had or
should reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (c) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or
proceedings pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, other than actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations or proceedings disclosed on
Schedule 5 hereto, (i) as to which individually or in the aggregate there is a reasonable
likelihood of an adverse decision which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect or (ii) which questions the validity or enforceability of any of the Program Documents or
any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and there is a
reasonable likelihood of a Material Adverse Effect or adverse decision.

47

 

     (d) No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Program Documents, or
(b) the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and
provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of the charter or by-laws of Seller,
or any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any
Governmental Authority, or other material agreement or instrument to which Seller, or any of its

19. REMEDIES

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, at its option (which option shall be deemed
to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant

67

 

to Section 18(g), (h), (i) or (j) hereof), shall have the right to exercise any or all of the
following rights and remedies:

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

     (ii) Buyer shall have the right to (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following
the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to Section 19(a)(i)
without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or
prices as Buyer may deem to be commercially reasonable for cash or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets
(including any Related Credit Enhancement if so determined by Buyer in its sole discretion)
on a servicing released basis. Buyer may purchase any or all of the Purchased Assets
(including any Related Credit Enhancement if so determined by Buyer in its sole discretion)
at any public or private sale. Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that
remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The
proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement if
so determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) shall be applied first to the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an
Event of Default; second to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions;
third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other
Obligations.

     (iii) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and declare all
Obligations of Seller to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in accordance with
Section 21 provided no such notice shall be required for an Event of Default pursuant to
Section 18(g),(h),(i) or (j) hereof.

     (iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the
Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit Enhancement) on a particular Business Day, or in a
transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such
Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit Enhancement) may not be liquid. In view of the
nature of the Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit Enhancement), the parties agree that
liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit
Enhancement) does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good

68

 

faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any
Purchased Asset (or any Related Credit Enhancement) and nothing contained herein shall
obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset (or any Related Credit Enhancement) on the
occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets (or any Related
Credit Enhancement) in the same manner or on the same Business Day or constitute a waiver of
any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement
agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon
the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual
obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other
Transactions.

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

     (b) Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this
Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller to which Seller pledges its full faith and credit.
In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s
assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or their respective
designees (including the Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set off
the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off
cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit
Enhancement) and Additional Purchased Assets, any other Purchased Items and their proceeds and all
other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Seller against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer,
whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the
parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s
right to recover any deficiency.

     (c) Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other
files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) and
all documents relating to the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) which
are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller
and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request.

     (d) Buyer shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take
such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Buyer determines appropriate. Upon the
occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall, in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided in this Agreement and by law, have all rights and remedies specified in Section
43.

     (e) Buyer shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be
entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to

69

 

take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets
(including any Related Credit Enhancement) and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof,
collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit
Enhancement) and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is
authorized hereunder or by law to do. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer
in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver.

     (f) [Reserved].

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

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

     Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing,
and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might
otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to
the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising
from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets
(including any Related Credit Enhancement) and any other Purchased Items or from any other election
of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the
trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

     After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller shall cause all
sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement)
to be deposited with such Person as Buyer may direct after receipt thereof.

20. DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

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

21. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

     Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other
communications provided for herein and under the Applicable Custodial Agreement (including, without
limitation, any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be
given or made in writing (including, without limitation, by telex, telecopy or email) delivered to
the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages
hereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for
notices given by Seller under Section 3(a) (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such
communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telex, telecopier or
email or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given
or addressed as aforesaid.

22. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

     No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA or a plan subject to
Section 4975 of the Code shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.

23. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES.

     (a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify
any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of
any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party
(collectively, the “Costs”) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other
Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement
or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other
Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results
from anything other than any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless
from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Assets relating to
or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation
or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation laws with respect to unfair or deceptive
lending practices and predatory lending practices, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate
Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than such Indemnified
Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an
Indemnified Party in connection with any Asset (including any Related Credit Enhancement) for any
sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Asset (including any Related Credit
Enhancement), Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and
against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder,
arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other
agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or
obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as
and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses
incurred in connection

71

 

with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this
Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including
without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel, provided, however,
Seller’s obligations to pay for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to an Indemnified
Party shall be limited to the fees and disbursements of one law firm (plus the fees and
disbursements of any reasonably necessary local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties. Seller
hereby acknowledges that all Obligations of Seller under this Agreement are recourse obligations
of Seller.

     (b) Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and
any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, any other Program Document or any
other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller agrees to pay as and when
billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including,
without limitation, (i) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer,
provided, however, Seller’s obligations to pay for the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses
of counsel to Buyer shall be limited to the fees, disbursements and expenses of one law firm (plus
the fees and disbursements of any reasonably necessary local counsel) and (ii) all the due
diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to
Purchased Items (including any Related Credit Enhancement) under this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, those costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 23, 39 and 44.
Seller also agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the
Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement
or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT
NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

     (c) If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under
this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and
indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion and
Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be
deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under the Program Documents.

     (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the
covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 23 shall survive the payment in full
of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased
Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.

24. WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS

     Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of
limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Items as a
result of restrictions upon Buyer or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other

72

 

instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that it may have to direct the
order in which any of the Purchased Items shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition
pursuant hereto.

25. REIMBURSEMENT

     All sums reasonably expended by Buyer in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
provided for herein shall be and remain Seller’s obligation (unless and to the extent that Seller
is the prevailing party in any dispute, claim or action relating thereto). Seller agrees to pay
the reasonable out of pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Buyer and/or
Custodian in connection with the preparation, negotiation, enforcement (including any waivers),
administration and amendment of the Program Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is
entered into hereunder), the taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to
be taken by Buyer (without duplication to Buyer) and/or Custodian pursuant thereto, any “due
diligence” or loan agent reviews conducted by Buyer or on its behalf or by refinancing or
restructuring in the nature of a “workout”, provided, however, Seller’s obligations to pay for the
reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer shall be limited to the fees,
disbursements and expenses of one law firm (plus the fees and disbursements of any reasonably
necessary local counsel). In addition to the foregoing, and not by way of limitation, after the
occurrence of an Event of Default Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses
(plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate) and all costs and expenses
incurred within thirty (30) days of the Event of Default in connection with Buyer’s re-employment
of funds, termination of deposits, hedging or covering transactions related to the Purchased Assets
(including any Related Credit Enhancement), conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.

26. FURTHER ASSURANCES

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

27. TERMINATION

     This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. However, no such
termination shall affect Seller’s outstanding obligations to Buyer at the time of such termination.
Seller’s obligations under Section 3(k), Section 5, Section 12, Section 23 and Section 25 and any
other reimbursement or indemnity obligation of Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Program Documents shall survive the termination hereof.

28. SEVERABILITY

     If any provision of any Program Document is declared invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of the Program Documents, and
each Program Document shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

indemnity obligation of Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Program Document
shall survive the repurchase of the Assets hereunder and the termination of this Agreement. In
addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a request for a purchase,
herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer
shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of purchasing any Assets, any Default that may arise
by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading,
notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such
representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such purchase was made.

37. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

     Seller hereby acknowledges that:

     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Program Documents to which it is a party;

75

 

     (b) Buyer has no fiduciary relationship to Seller; and

     (c) no joint venture exists among or between Buyer and Seller.

38. HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ITEMS.

     Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Assets and Purchased Items and nothing in
this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Assets and
Purchased Items or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating
the Assets and Purchased Items, in all cases subject to Buyer’s obligation to reconvey the
Purchased Assets (and not substitutes therefor) on the Repurchase Date. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Assets or Purchased Items delivered to Buyer by
Seller.

39. ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS.

     (a) Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder only with the prior written
consent of Buyer. Buyer may assign or transfer to any bank or other financial institution or
entity that makes or invests in repurchase agreements or loans all or any of its rights under this
Agreement and the other Program Documents, with the consent of Seller which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such consent shall not be required
if Buyer assigns its rights and obligations (i) to an Affiliate of Buyer or (ii) after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, provided, further,
that Buyer shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and
a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee, specifying the percentage
or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Seller shall continue to take directions
solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing.

     (b) Buyer may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more entities
(“Participants”) participating interests in this Agreement, its agreement to purchase
Assets, or any other interest of Buyer hereunder and under the other Program Documents. In the
event of any such sale by Buyer of participating interests to a Participant, Buyer’s obligations
under this Agreement to Seller shall remain unchanged, Buyer shall remain solely responsible for
the performance thereof and Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in
connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program
Documents. Seller agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or
shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount
of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Buyer under this Agreement;
provided, that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of set-off if it
shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating
interest to share with Buyer the proceeds thereof. Buyer also agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3(f), 3(k), 23 and 25 with respect to its participation in
the Assets and Purchased Items outstanding from time to time; provided, that Buyer and all
Participants shall be entitled to receive no greater amount in the aggregate pursuant to such
Sections than Buyer would have been entitled to receive had no such transfer occurred.

76

 

     (c) Buyer may furnish any information concerning Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in the
possession of Buyer from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective
assignees and Participants) only after notifying Seller in writing and securing signed
confidentiality statements (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H) and only for the sole
purpose of evaluating assignments or participations and for no other purpose.

     (d) Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment and/or
participation, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other
modifications to, this Agreement and the other Program Documents in order to give effect to such
assignment and/or participation. Seller further agrees to furnish to any Participant identified
by Buyer to Seller copies of all reports and certificates to be delivered by Seller to Buyer
hereunder, as and when delivered to Buyer.

40. SINGLE AGREEMENT

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

41. INTENT

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

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

     (c) The parties hereby agree that all Servicing Agreements and any provisions hereof or in any
other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the
Purchased Assets shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the

77

 

meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 101(47)(a)(v) of Title 11 of the USC and part of the
“contract” as such term is used in Section 741 of Title 11 of the USC.

42. CONFIDENTIALITY

     (a) The Program Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments,
and transactions and notices thereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by Seller in
strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Buyer (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s direct and indirect
parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or
accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise
subject to confidentiality restrictions, (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order
of a court or other regulatory body, (iii) disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the
extent necessary to obtain any interest rate protection agreement, (iv) any disclosures or filing
required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws or
(v) such other circumstances as are reasonably within the discretion of a public company in order
to meet its corporate obligations; provided that in the case of (ii), (iii), (iv) and
(v) Seller shall take reasonable actions to provide Buyer with prior written notice.

     (b) Buyer agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by Seller or
an Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Agreement or any other Program Document that is designated by
such Person as confidential and such information shall not be disclosed to any third party without
the written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) except for
(i) disclosure to Buyer’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or
accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this
covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions,
(ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body,
(iii) disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any interest
rate protection agreement, (iv) any disclosures or filing required under Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws or (v) such other circumstances as are
reasonably within the discretion of a public company in order to meet its corporate obligations;
provided that in the case of (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) Buyer shall take reasonable actions
to provide Seller with prior written notice.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall comply with all
applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data
protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and/or any
applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Seller Confidential Information”). Buyer
understands that the Seller Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”,
as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”), and
Buyer agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in
accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party (and each employee,
representative, or other agent of each party) may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of
any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax

78

 

treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, tax treatment and tax structure shall not
include (i) the identity of any existing or future party (or any Affiliate of such party) to this
Agreement or (ii) any specific pricing information or other commercial terms, including the amount
of any fees, expenses, rates or payments arising in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that this Agreement may be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission; provided that, Seller shall redact any pricing and other confidential
provisions, including, without limitation, the amount of any Renewal Commitment Fee, Non-Usage Fee,
Price Differential and Purchase Price from such filed Agreement.

43. SERVICING

     (a) Buyer hereby designates Seller to service each Purchased Asset as Servicer for a term of
sixty (60) days following the related Purchase Date of such Purchased Asset, which term is
renewable at the sole discretion of Buyer for subsequent sixty (60) day periods (or such other
period agreed to by Buyer) upon written direction of Buyer. During such time that Seller is
servicing the Purchase Assets, Seller shall service the Purchased Assets for the benefit of or on
behalf of Buyer, provided, however, that the obligation of Seller to service any such Purchased
Asset for the benefit of or on behalf of Buyer as aforesaid shall cease upon the payment to Buyer
of the Repurchase Price thereof. Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the
Purchased Assets to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices. In the event
that this Agreement is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such
servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of: (i) the termination
thereof by Buyer pursuant to subsection (d) below, (ii) sixty (60) days or such other period after
the initial sixty (60) day period as Buyer may agree in writing in its sole discretion after the
Purchase Date of such Purchased Asset, (iii) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default,
(iv) the date on which all the Obligations have been paid in full or (iv) the transfer of
servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity.

     (b) In the event Buyer forecloses upon or exercises any other remedies with respect to any
Related Credit Enhancement pursuant to Section 19, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer or
Buyer’s designee any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer
tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals,
other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or
evidencing the servicing of such Assets (the “Servicing Records”), together with the
physical and contractual servicing of the Purchased Assets, in each case whether now owned or
existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, to secure the Obligations of
Seller or its designee in conformity with this Section 43 and any other obligation of Seller to
Buyer. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Seller covenants to hold such Servicing
Records and safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee
(including the Custodian) as required by this Agreement. It is understood and agreed by the
parties that prior to expiration, termination or non-renewal of the related servicing term
pursuant to Section 43(a), Seller shall retain the servicing fees with respect to the Purchased
Assets. Seller shall deliver, or shall cause the related Servicer or Subservicer to deliver, the
Related Credit Enhancement for each Purchased Asset to Buyer or such other successor servicer as
may be designated by Buyer upon the expiration, termination or non-renewal of the related
servicing term pursuant to Section 43(a). With respect to the Servicing Records and the physical
and contractual servicing of the Purchased Assets relating

79

 

to any Transaction, Seller shall deliver or cause the related Servicer or Subservicer to
deliver, such Servicing Records and, to the extent applicable, physical servicing to the designee
of Buyer, upon the expiration, termination or non-renewal of the related servicing term pursuant
to Section 43(a), unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer. Seller’s transfer of the Related
Credit Enhancement under this Section shall be in accordance with customary standards in the
industry and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of escrows held for the
related mortgagors (without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”).

     (c) If any Loans are serviced by any other third party servicer (such third party servicer,
the “Subservicer”) Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement with a
properly executed Instruction Letter to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
applicable Purchase Date or the date on which the Subservicer shall begin subservicing such Loans
which shall be in the form and substance acceptable to Buyer (the “Servicing Agreement”)
and shall have obtained the written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice such
Loans.

     (d) Buyer may, in its sole discretion if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, (i) sell the Purchased Assets without payment of any termination fee or any
other amount to Seller and (ii) sell on a servicing released basis any Purchased Assets being
serviced by a Subservicer (approved pursuant to Section 43(c)) without payment of any termination
fee or any other amount to Seller but subject to the rights of such Subservicer. Buyer agrees not
to direct or otherwise contact any such Subservicer absent a determination in good faith by Buyer
that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Unless a Default or an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Buyer shall not exercise or attempt to
exercise any such rights to service the Purchased Assets, including contacting Mortgagors or
Subservicers or taking possession of the related Records, or exercise Seller’s rights with respect
to the Purchased Assets under the related servicing agreement. Upon the expiration of the
servicing term or the termination or non-renewal of Seller as Servicer of the Purchased Assets
pursuant to Section 43(a), or as otherwise provided hereunder, Seller shall transfer such
servicing with respect to such Purchased Assets to Buyer or any successor Servicer designated by
Buyer, at no cost or expense to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall provide to Buyer an Instruction
Letter from Seller to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may
terminate any Subservicer or Servicing Agreement and direct that collections with respect to the
Loans be remitted in accordance with Buyer’s instructions. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer
in connection with the transfer of servicing.

     (e) [Reserved].

     (f) Seller shall permit Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually
convenient time, Seller’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for the
purpose of satisfying Buyer that Seller or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to
service the Loans as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Subservicer
which is not an Affiliate of Seller, Seller shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer to inspect
the servicing facilities of such Subservicer.

44. PERIODIC DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW

     Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with
respect to the Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties,
covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Program Document, or otherwise, and
Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice to Seller
(provided that upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, no such prior notice shall
be required), Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business
hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Files, the Records
and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Assets
in the possession, or under the control, of Seller and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make
available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering
questions respecting the Mortgage Files, the Servicing Files and any other document relating
thereto and any other Purchased Asset sold to Buyer hereunder. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall purchase Assets from Seller based solely upon
the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right, at any
time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets,
including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports, new appraisals on the related Mortgaged
Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Assets. Buyer may
underwrite such Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting.
Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such
underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with
access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such
Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. In addition, Buyer has the right to
perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews of Seller and its Affiliates, directors, and their
respective Subsidiaries and the officers, employees and significant shareholders thereof. Seller
and Buyer further agree that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection
with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 44 shall be paid by Seller.

45. SET-OFF

     In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by this Agreement and by law, Buyer
shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates,
any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon
any amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency,
and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any
Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries or
Affiliates (other than pursuant to any Securitization Indebtedness or the Revolving Credit
Agreement or to the credit of an Asset Securitization Subsidiary or to the Guarantor in its
capacity as Borrower under the Revolving Credit Agreement). Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds
of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or its
Affiliates to Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates

81

 

(other than pursuant to any Securitization Indebtedness or the Revolving Credit Agreement or
owed to an Asset Securitization Subsidiary or to the Guarantor in its capacity as Borrower under
the Revolving Credit Agreement) against any and all of Seller’s and any of Seller’s Subsidiary’s or
Affiliate’s, obligations to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under
any other agreement between the parties or between Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates
(other than an Asset Securitization Subsidiary or the Guarantor in its capacity as Borrower under
the Revolving Credit Agreement) and Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (other than with respect to any
Securitization Indebtedness or the Revolving Credit Agreement), or otherwise, whether or not such
obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any
deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by
Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.

46. COMMITTED FACILITY

     (a) If (i) an event described in Section 9(b)(viii) occurs, (ii) Seller shall not have
previously agreed to pay to Buyer an increased Pricing Rate to cover Buyer’s increased costs
arising out of or relating to or resulting from such event, and (iii) Buyer shall determine,
solely based on such event and in its sole discretion, whether pursuant to such event being
classified as a condition precedent to a Transaction or otherwise, to no longer enter into future
Transactions, (x) Buyer shall remit to Seller the pro rata portion of the Renewal Commitment Fee
paid by Seller for the portion of such term of the Repurchase Agreement during which Buyer shall
have determined to no longer enter into future Transactions and (y) such date of determination
shall be deemed the “Termination Date” for the purpose of calculating the Non-Utilization Fee at
such time which shall be the final Non-Utilization Fee due and owing hereunder.

     (b) If an event described in Section 3(f) or 3(k) occurs and Seller shall determine, solely
based on such event and in its sole discretion, to no longer enter into future Transactions as a
result of such increased costs, (i) Buyer shall remit to Seller the pro rata portion of the
Renewal Commitment Fee paid by Seller for the portion of such term of the Repurchase Agreement
during which Seller shall have determined to no longer enter into future Transactions and (ii)
such date of determination shall be deemed the “Termination Date” for the purpose of calculating
the Non-Utilization Fee at such time which shall be the final Non-Utilization Fee due and owing
hereunder.

47. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF ORIGINAL REPURCHASE AGREEMENT; NO NOVATION

     (a) Reserved.

     (b) As of the date first written above, the terms and provisions of the Original Repurchase
Agreement as amended and restated shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in
their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

     (c) Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Repurchase Agreement by
this Agreement, any amounts owing to the Buyer under the Original Repurchase

82

 

Agreement whether on account of Transactions or otherwise which remain outstanding as of the
date hereof, shall constitute Obligations owing hereunder. This Agreement is given in
substitution for the Original Repurchase Agreement, and not as payment of the obligations of the
Seller thereunder, and is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the Original Repurchase
Agreement.

     (d) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement on the date first written above, unless the
context otherwise requires, each reference to the Original Repurchase Agreement in any of the
Program Documents and in each document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in
connection therewith shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Except as expressly
modified as of the date hereof, all of the other Program Documents shall remain in full force and
effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

48. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

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