to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof) against the transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. 

  

	4.	 Margin Maintenance 

 

	 	(a)	 If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a
particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller in such Transactions, at Seller’s
option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer (“Additional Purchased Securities”), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional Purchased
Securities, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer is acting as Seller). 

 

	 	(b)	 If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a
particular party hereto is acting as Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions at such time (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer in such Transactions, at
Buyer’s option, to transfer cash or Purchased Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such
aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount (increased by the amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Seller is acting as Buyer). 

 

	 	(c)	 If any notice is given by Buyer or Seller under subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Paragraph at or before the
Margin Notice Deadline on any business day, the party receiving such notice shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Securities as provided in such subparagraph no later than the close of business in the relevant market on such day. If any such
notice is given after the Margin Notice Deadline, the party receiving such notice shall transfer such cash or Securities no later than the close of business in the relevant market on the next business day following such notice.

  

	 	(d)	 Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to such Transactions as shall be agreed
upon by Buyer and Seller. 

  
 4 

	 	(e)	 Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of
Buyer or Seller (or both) under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess, as the case may be, exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Prices
for such Transactions (which amount or percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any such Transactions). 

  

	 	(f)	 Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of
Buyer and Seller under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to
any single Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this Agreement). 

  

	5.	 Income Payments 

Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income paid or distributed on or in respect of the Securities that is not otherwise
received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Securities had not been sold to Buyer. 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 discretion), on the date such Income is paid or distributed either (i) transfer to or credit to the account of Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) with respect to
Income paid in cash, apply the Income payment or payments 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 therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Securities sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit,
or (B) if an Event of Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid or distributed. 
  

	6.	 Security Interest 

Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed
to be loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction, and shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the Purchased
Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all Income thereon and other proceeds thereof. 
  

	7.	 Payment and Transfer 

Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. All Securities transferred by one
party hereto to the other party (i) shall be in suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and such other documentation as the party receiving possession may reasonably
request, (ii) shall be transferred on the book-entry system of a Federal Reserve Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other method mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer. 

 

	8.	 Segregation of Purchased Securities 

To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its
possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and 

  
 5 

 
records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing corporation. All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase
Date and, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased
Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the
obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof. 
  

	
	 Required Disclosure for Transactions in Which the Seller Retains
Custody of the Purchased Securities
  
 Seller is not permitted to substitute other
securities for those subject to this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer’s securities segregated at all times, unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute,
this means that Buyer’s securities will likely be commingled with Seller’s own securities during the trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading day that Buyer’s securities are commingled with Seller’s securities, they
[will]* [may]** be subject to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third
parties]** and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions. Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller’s ability to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer
will be subject to Seller’s ability to satisfy [the clearing]* [any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities.

 

*   Language to be used under 17 C.F.R.
§ 403.4(e) if Seller is a government securities broker or dealer other than a financial institution.
 **    Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. § 403.5(d) if Seller is a financial institution.

  

	9.	 Substitution 

  

	 	(a)	 Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer, substitute other Securities for any Purchased
Securities. Such substitution shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.

  

	 	(b)	 In Transactions in which Seller retains custody of Purchased Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer
shall be deemed, for purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have agreed to and accepted in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for Purchased Securities; provided, however, that such other
Securities shall have a Market Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities for which they are substituted. 

  

	10.	 Representations 

Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to
enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if
agreed in writing, in the form of an annex hereto or otherwise, in advance of any Transaction by the other 

  
 6 

 
party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such disclosed principal),
(iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any governmental body required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and (v) the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance, charter, by-law or rule applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected.
On the Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it. 
  

	11.	 Events of Default 

In the event that (i) Seller fails to transfer or Buyer fails to purchase Purchased Securities upon the applicable Purchase Date,
(ii) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (iii) Seller or Buyer fails to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof, (iv) Buyer fails, after one (1) business
day’s notice, to comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (v) an Act of Insolvency occurs with respect to Seller or Buyer, (vi) any representation made by Seller or Buyer shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or
repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated, or (vii) Seller or Buyer shall admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its obligations hereunder (each an “Event of Default”): 

 

	 	(a)	 The non-defaulting party may, at its option (which option shall be
deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction
hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except 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). The non-defaulting party shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to the defaulting party of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

  

	 	(b)	 In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, if the
non-defaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the defaulting party’s obligations in such Transactions to
repurchase all Purchased Securities, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after
such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by the non-defaulting party and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, and
(iii) the defaulting party shall immediately deliver to the non-defaulting party any Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then in the defaulting party’s possession or control.

  

	 	(c)	 In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, upon tender by the non-defaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Prices for all such Transactions, all right, title and interest in and entitlement to all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be deemed
transferred to the non-defaulting party, and the defaulting party shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to the non-defaulting party. 

  
 7 

	 	(d)	 If the non-defaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised
the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the non-defaulting party, without prior notice to the defaulting party, may: 

 

	 	(i)	 as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, (A) immediately sell, in a
recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the non-defaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased Securities subject to such
Transactions and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased
Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such Purchased Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, against the
aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, (A) immediately purchase, in a
recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the non-defaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, securities (“Replacement Securities”) of the
same class and amount as any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of
purchasing Replacement Securities, to be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing offer quotation from such a source.

 Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the Securities subject to any
Transaction hereunder are instruments traded in a recognized market, (2) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Security, the non-defaulting party
may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (3) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Securities). 

 

	 	(e)	 As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, the defaulting party shall be liable to
the non-defaulting party for any excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the non-defaulting party for Replacement Securities over the Repurchase Price for the
Purchased Securities replaced thereby and for any amounts payable by the defaulting party under Paragraph 5 hereof or otherwise hereunder. 

  

	 	(f)	 For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each Transaction hereunder in respect of which the
defaulting party is acting as Buyer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the non-defaulting party of
the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph. 

  

	 	(g)	 The defaulting party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for
(i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the non-defaulting party in connection with 

  
 8 

	 	
or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into
or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

  

	 	(h)	 To the extent permitted by applicable law, the defaulting party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for interest on any amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, from the date the defaulting party becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by
the defaulting party or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of the non-defaulting party’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the defaulting party to the non-defaulting party under this Paragraph 11(h) shall be at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate. 

 

	 	(i)	 The non-defaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights
hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law. 

  

	12.	 Single Agreement 

Buyer and Seller 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, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (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, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply
property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either 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 Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each
other and netted. 
  

	13.	 Notices and Other Communications 

Any and all notices, statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a party to the other by mail, facsimile, telegraph,
messenger or otherwise to the address specified in Annex II hereto, or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and requests hereunder may be made
orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by other communication as specified in the preceding sentence. 
  

	14.	 Entire Agreement; Severability 

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions.
Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. 

  
 9 

	15.	 Non-assignability; Termination 

 

	 	(a)	 The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned
by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such assignment without the prior written consent of the other party shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving written notice to the other, except that this Agreement shall, notwithstanding such notice,
remain applicable to any Transactions then outstanding.

	19.	 Intent 

  

	 	(a)	 The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in
Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Securities subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities
contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 

  
 10 

	 	(b)	 It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Securities delivered to it in connection with
Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof, is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

  

	 	(c)	 The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as
such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements
thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 

  

	 	(d)	 It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to
Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment
entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

  

	20.	 Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that: 
  

	 	(a)	 in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor
Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; 

  

	 	(b)	 in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government
securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and 

 

	 	(c)	 in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial
institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of Seller or otherwise.

enter into that Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of a Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into that Transaction. No communication
(written or oral) received from the other party shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to expected results of that Transaction. 

  

	 	(b)	 It is capable of assessing the merits of (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and
understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of that Transaction. It is also capable of assuming, and assumes, the risks of each Transaction.

to be an Asset meeting the eligibility criteria set forth in this Agreement. If any Purchased Asset is repurchased by reason of its failure to constitute a Qualified Mortgage, Seller shall deliver a notice to Buyer and to the Indenture Trustee that
shall specify (x) the reason that the Purchased Asset failed to constitute a Qualified Mortgage and (y) the Repurchase Price therefor. Seller shall effect such repurchase by transferring Replacement Assets to Buyer which have a Market

coverage which would either make the Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to the Applicable Agency. 

 

	 	(i)	 The Seller shall defend the Purchased Items against, and shall take such other action as is necessary to
remove, any Lien, security interest or claim on or to the Purchased Items, other than the security interests created under the Agreement, and the Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Buyer in and to any of the Purchased Items
against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. The Seller shall not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in or lien on or otherwise

party obtains knowledge thereof and (b) the date on which notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, has been given to the defaulting party, (ii) the Seller fails to pay Price Differential when due and payable pursuant to

	13.	 Intent. Paragraph 19 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be added:

  

	 	“19.	 Intent 

(a) Seller and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of
the Bankruptcy Code, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) It is understood that Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Items delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or
to accelerate or terminate the Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of the
Bankruptcy Code.” 
  

	14.	 Set-Off. In addition to any rights of set-off a party may have as a matter of law or otherwise upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the non-defaulting party shall have the right (but not be obliged) to set
off any obligation of the defaulting party owing to the non-defaulting party (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether or not matured, whether or not contingent and regardless of the currency,
place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of the non-defaulting party owing to the defaulting party (whether or not arising under this Agreement whether or not matured,
whether or not 

  
 Annex I-26 

	 	
contingent and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation). For this purpose any sums not in U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S. Dollars at the rate of
exchange at which the non-defaulting party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency. If an obligation is unascertained, the non-defaulting party may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the
obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this paragraph shall be effective to create a security interest. This paragraph shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of
accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise). 

  

	15.	 Payment of Repurchase Price. 

The parties agree that the Repurchase Price shall be due and payable on each Repurchase Date; provided however, that, if such Repurchase Date
is not also a Remittance Date and there is no Prepayment Amount associated with such Transaction, any unpaid Price Differential relating to such Transaction shall be due on the immediately following Remittance Date and further, the principal portion
of the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets being repurchased on such Repurchase Date may be applied towards the payment of the Purchase Price relating to the Purchased Assets being purchased by the Buyer on such Repurchase
Date.    In addition, the Seller shall pay to Buyer the related Interest Coverage Amount, if any, on each Remittance Date.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
document relating to the transactions contemplated herein or in the Indenture, any and all payments of the Repurchase Price (including any Price Differential) required to be made pursuant to the Agreement shall be made by or on behalf of
the Seller to the account of the Buyer as set forth in Schedule CA-II to Annex III. 
 Any
payment of a Takeout Price that is made by a Takeout Investor to the Buyer pursuant to a Bailee Letter or Takeout Commitment, as applicable, shall be deemed to be a payment by Seller of the Repurchase Price in respect of the Purchased Assets subject
to the related Takeout Commitment. In the event that Buyer, or the Custodian on its behalf, receives an Agency Security in connection with the purchase of Purchased Mortgage Loans (or Participation Certificates) by an Agency or the issuance by an
Agency of its guarantee of an Agency Security backed by Purchased Mortgage Loans, the Seller shall arrange for the sale of the related Agency Security to a Takeout Investor for an amount that is greater than or equal to the applicable Repurchase
Price of the Purchased Mortgage Loans sold to the Agency. Seller shall arrange for the Takeout Settlement Date with respect to such Agency Security to occur within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Agency Security to the Buyer or the
Custodian, Each settlement of Agency Securities with Takeout Investors shall be effected by the Custodian and the Seller in accordance with the provisions of Schedule IV and Schedule V to this Annex I.

 SCHEDULE I TO ANNEX I OF MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT 

Representations and Warranties with respect to Mortgage Loans 

The Seller hereby represents and warrants as follows with respect to each Mortgage Loan conveyed to Buyer under this Agreement (such representations and
warranties to speak as of the related Purchase Date, unless otherwise expressly provided herein): 
 1.1. Mortgage Loans as Described.
The information set forth in the Asset Tape is complete, true and correct in all material respects. 
 1.2. Payments Current. The
first monthly payment on the Mortgage Loan shall have been made prior to the second scheduled monthly payment on the Mortgage Loan becoming due. 

1.3. No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Mortgage Loan, and all
taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to
pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither Seller nor the originator from which Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds
of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one month the due date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder. 

1.4. Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Mortgage Loan Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the
Asset Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the title insurance policy, and its terms are reflected on the Asset Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of
the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File
delivered to the Mortgage Loan Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. 
 1.5. No Defenses. The Mortgage
Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no
Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-1 

 1.6. Hazard Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended
perils insurance policy, issued by an insurer approved by Buyer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the
Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all
improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any
co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or
(iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for an damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental
Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount
representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent
owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums due and owing on such
insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense
and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or
“blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in
full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the
validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person,
and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 
 1.7. Location of Property. Each Mortgaged Property
is located in the state identified in the Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an
individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that any condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform with the
applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings, and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-2 

 1.8. No Mechanics’ Liens. At origination, there were no mechanics’ or
similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
with the lien of the Mortgage. 
 1.9. No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole-or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission other than in the case of a release of a portion of the land comprising a Mortgaged Property or a release of a blanket Mortgage which release will not cause the Mortgage Loan to fail to satisfy the
Underwriting Guidelines. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from
any action or inaction by the Mortgagor. 
 1.10. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or
local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, all applicable predatory and abusive lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of such Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such
laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon two Business Days’ request, evidence of compliance with all such
requirements. 
 1.11. No Foreclosure or Bankruptcy. The Mortgaged Property is not the subject of a foreclosure proceeding nor is the
related Mortgagor the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 
 1.12. Valid Assignment; Valid Lien. Each Assignment of Mortgage from the
Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from the Seller. Each related Mortgage is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first
priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Seller to be a first lien (as reflected on the Asset Schedule) on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged
Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the Mortgaged
Property. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: 
 1.12.1. the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not
yet due and payable; 
 1.12.2. covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the
public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred
to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and 

1.12.3. other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-3 

 1.12.4. any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Seller to be a first
lien (as reflected on the Asset Schedule), on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage,
deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage. 
 1.13. Validity
of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and in full force and effect, and each is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to no right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related
agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without
limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems
necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. The related Mortgage Note shall not have been extinguished under relevant state law in connection with a judgment of foreclosure or foreclosure sale or otherwise.

 1.14. Origination and Underwriting; Servicing. The origination of each Mortgage Loan complied in all material respects with all
applicable laws and regulations. At the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf of the Seller in connection with each Mortgage Loan complied in all material respects
with the terms, conditions and requirements of the Seller’s origination, due diligence, underwriting procedures and Underwriting Guidelines. Each Mortgage Loan was originated and currently is in Strict Compliance with the applicable Agency
Guide. The Mortgage Loan has been originated by, and, if applicable, purchased by Seller from, an originator acceptable to the Buyer in its sole discretion. The servicing and collection of each Purchased Mortgage Loan was in all material respects
legal, proper and prudent, in accordance with customary residential mortgage servicing practices. 
 1.15. Location of Improvements; No
Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-4 

 1.16. Custodian. With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Wet Loan), the
Mortgage Loan Custodian shall be in possession of each required Mortgage Loan Document for such Mortgage Loan, other than Mortgage Loan Documents that are released pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial Agreement. With respect to each
Mortgage Loan Document that has been released from the possession of the Mortgage Loan Custodian under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial Agreement to Seller or its bailee, such Mortgage Loan Document shall be returned to the Mortgage Loan
Custodian within ten (10) calendar days (or if such tenth (10th) day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) of release thereof. With respect to each Mortgage Loan Document that has been released from the possession of the
Mortgage Loan Custodian under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial Agreement under any transmittal letter such Mortgage Loan Document shall be returned to the Mortgage Loan Custodian within the time period stated in such transmittal letter. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan Document that has been released from the possession of the Mortgage Loan Custodian under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial Agreement under an attorney bailee letter, such Mortgage Loan Document shall be returned
to the Mortgage Loan Custodian from and after the date such attorney’s bailee letter is terminated or ceases to be in full force and effect. 

1.17. Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is either vacant or lawfully occupied under
applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received written notification from any governmental authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received
notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. Except as otherwise set forth in the Asset Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan
that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence. 
 1.18. No Condemnation
Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property. 

1.19. Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and
environmental remediation reserves), if any, are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith. Any and all
requirements under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before Purchase Date, have been complied with
in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-5 

 1.20. No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Asset
Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow
or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow
have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund
of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. 
 1.21. No Exception. Other than as noted by the Mortgage Loan
Custodian to Buyer; no Exception (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Custodial Agreement) exists with respect to the Mortgage Loan that has not been waived by Buyer. 

1.22. Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the
form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an American Land Title Association lender’s title insurance policy or
comparable policy acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable in the industry and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority Lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in
clauses (1), (2), and (3) below of paragraph (l) of this Part I of Schedule 1, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of
the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the mortgage interest rate and monthly payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other
than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of
such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No
claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title
insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful
items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 
 1.23. Ownership. Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage
Loan. All Mortgage Loans acquired by Seller from third parties (including affiliates) were acquired in a true and legal sale pursuant to which such third party sold, transferred, conveyed and assigned to Seller all of its right, title and interest
in, to and under such Mortgage Loan and retained no interest in such Mortgage Loan. In connection with such sale, such third party received reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration and, in accordance with GAAP and for federal

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-6 

 
income tax purposes, reported the sale of such Mortgage Loan to Seller as a sale of its interests in such Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Seller has good,
indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full
right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the pledge of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will hold such
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

1.24. Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or
otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and
(ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state or (D) not
doing business in such state. 
 1.25. LTV. As of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the LTV and CLTV (if applicable) are
as identified on the Asset Schedule. 
 1.26. No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing
under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither
Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by Seller to be a second lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Asset Schedule) (i) the
first Lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time or with
notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the first Lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law
requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage. 

1.27. Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by HUD pursuant to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority.
Monthly payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The mortgage interest rate is adjusted, with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, on each
interest rate adjustment date to equal the index plus the gross margin (rounded up or down to the nearest 0.125%), subject to the mortgage interest rate cap. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments
of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to an adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the mortgage interest rate on each adjustment date, with interest calculated and payable in
arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than 30 years from commencement of amortization. No Mortgage Loan allows for negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is an
interest-only Mortgage Loan. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-7 

 1.28. Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage
contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. 
 1.29. Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in
the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy and permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Mortgaged Property
in full force and effect, and to the Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, a review of a zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the
investigation conducted by the Seller for similar residential mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals are in effect. The Mortgage Loan
requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction (if and to the extent required by such jurisdiction) in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in
compliance in all material respects with all zoning regulations and building laws. 
 1.30. No Predatory Lending. No predatory,
abusive or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to, the extension of credit to a Mortgagor without regard for the Mortgagor’s ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a Mortgagor which has no tangible
net benefit to the Mortgagor, were employed in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. 
 1.31. [Reserved]. 

1.32. Acceptable Investment. No specific circumstances or conditions exist with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the
Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that should reasonably be expected to (i) cause private institutional investors which invest in Mortgage Loans similar to the Mortgage Loan to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable
investment, (ii) cause the Mortgage Loan to be more likely to become past due in comparison to similar Mortgage Loans, or (iii) adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan in comparison to similar Mortgage Loans. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-8 

 1.33. HOEPA. No Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan, “covered” mortgage loan, “high risk home” mortgage loan, or “predatory” mortgage loan or any
other comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal, state or local law, (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or regulations, or any other statute or regulation providing for heightened regulatory scrutiny
or assignee liability to holders of such mortgage loans, or (d) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the current Standard & Poor’s
LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix E). 
 1.34. Mortgaged Property Undamaged.
The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the
premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings. 

1.35. Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified Seller, and Seller has no knowledge, of any relief requested
or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act. 
 1.36. No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is
not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above. 

1.37. Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable
law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Custodian or Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a
trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. 
 1.38. Delivery of Mortgage Documents. Except with respect to any Wet Loans, the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage (other than for a MERS Mortgage Loan), the policy of title insurance or a title commitment related to a policy of title insurance, and any other documents required to be delivered under the
Mortgage Loan Custodial Agreement for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Mortgage Loan Custodian. Seller or its agent is in possession of a complete, true and materially accurate Mortgage Loan File in compliance with the Mortgage Loan
Custodial Agreement, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Mortgage Loan Custodian. 
 1.39.
Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. 

1.40. Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable
provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-9 

 1.41. Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor
prior to the origination of the Mortgage Loan have been or will be consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage and evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single
interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority with respect to each Mortgage Loan, by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. 

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

1.43. Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan is not convertible to a fixed
interest rate Mortgage Loan. 
 1.44. Appraisal. The Mortgage Loan File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed
prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller or the originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement
Act of 1989 as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. 
 1.45.
Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of
a Mortgaged Property. 
 1.46. No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred
and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether or not known to Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private
mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of
actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents
submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s
financial inability to pay. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-10 

 1.47. Capitalization of Interest. The Mortgage Note does not by its terms provide for
the capitalization or forbearance of interest. 
 1.48. No Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature,
any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by Seller. 
 1.49. Mortgage Submitted
for Recordation. The Mortgage (other than for a MERS Mortgage Loan) has been submitted for recordation in the appropriate governmental recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located. 

1.50. Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure
materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of adjustable rate mortgage loans, and Seller maintains such statement in the Mortgage Loan File. 

1.51. Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines and Agency Standards. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms similar to those used by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae and Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used. 

1.52. No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to
which monthly payments on the Mortgage Loan are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does
it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

 1.53. Advance of Funds by the Seller. No advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been
received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation
to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof. 

1.54. Ground Leases. For purposes of this paragraph, a “ground lease” shall mean a leasehold estate in real property where the
fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the
land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner. With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgage on a ground leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not
also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the ground lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller
represents and warrants that: 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-11 

 1.54.1. The ground lease or a memorandum regarding such ground lease has
been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The ground lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be
encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No
material change in the terms of the ground lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage Loan File; 

1.54.2. The lessor under such ground lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage Loan File (or in such
ground lease) that the ground lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the agent or lender (unless in connection with an amendment to correct typographical errors or are otherwise de minimis in
nature) and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the agent or lender, its successors or assigns; 

1.54.3. The ground lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all
circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan
fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes); 

1.54.4. The ground lease is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority
with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Liens; 
 1.54.5. The ground
lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the mortgagee and the ground lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (provided
that proper notice is delivered (if required) in accordance with such ground lease), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of (but with
prior notice to) the lessor; 
 1.54.6. The Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of
termination of such ground lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no default under such ground lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such ground lease and
to the Seller’s knowledge, such ground lease is in full force and effect; 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-12 

 1.54.7. The ground lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the
lessee requires the lessor to give to the agent or lender written notice of any material default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective unless such notice is given to the agent or lender; 

1.54.8. The agent or lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain
possession of the interest of the lessee under the ground lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the ground lease which is curable after the agent’s or lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may
terminate the ground lease; 
 1.54.9. The ground lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed
as commercially unreasonable by a prudent residential mortgage lender; 
 1.54.10. Under the terms of the ground lease, an
estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a
total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in section 1.54.11 below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold
amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents) the agent, lender or a trustee duly appointed having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds if in excess of 10% of the principal amount of the related Mortgage Loans as repair or
restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; 

1.54.11. Under the terms of the ground lease and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or
portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of all or substantially all of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be
applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and 

1.54.12. Provided that the agent or lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has
agreed to enter into a new lease with agent or lender upon termination of the ground lease for any reason, including rejection of the ground lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. 

1.55. Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted
or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of
any such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by Seller or by any officer, director, or employee of Seller or any designee of Seller or any corporation in which Seller or any officer, director, or
employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance. 
 1.56. Environmental Matters. The Mortgaged Property
is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation. 

  
 Annex I-Sch.I-13 

 1.57. Withdrawn Loans. If the Mortgage Loan has been released to Seller pursuant to
terms of the Mortgage Loan Custodial Agreement, then the promissory note relating to the Mortgage Loan was returned to the Mortgage Loan Custodian within ten (10) days (or if such tenth (10th) day was not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day). 
 1.58. MERS Mortgage Loan. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, a MERS Identification Number has been assigned by
MERS and such MERS Identification Number is accurately provided on the Asset Schedule. The related Assignment of Mortgage to MERS has been duly and properly recorded. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, Seller has not received any notice of
liens or legal actions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and no such notices have been electronically posted by MERS. 
 1.59. FHA
Mortgage Insurance; VA Loan Guaranty. With respect each FHA Loan or VA Loan, (i) the FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract is in full force and effect and there exists no impairment to full recovery without indemnity to HUD under FHA Mortgage
Insurance, or the VA Loan Guaranty Agreement is in full force and effect to the maximum extent stated therein, as applicable, (ii) all necessary steps have been taken to keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable and each of
such is the binding, valid and enforceable obligation of the FHA and the VA, respectively, to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense, (iii) such Loan is insured, or eligible to be
insured, pursuant to the National Housing Act or is guaranteed, or eligible to be guaranteed, under the provisions of Chapter 37 of Title 38 of the United States Code, as applicable, (iv) with respect to each FHA insurance certificate or VA
guaranty certificate, Seller has complied with applicable provisions of the insurance for guaranty contract and federal statutes and regulations, all premiums or other charges due in connection with such insurance or guarantee have been paid, there
has been no act or omission which would or may invalidate any such insurance or guaranty, and the insurance or guaranty is, or when issued, will be, in full force and effect with respect to such Loan, (v) Seller has no knowledge of any
defenses, counterclaims, or rights of setoff affecting such Loan or affecting the validity or enforceability of any private mortgage insurance or FHA Mortgage Insurance or VA Loan Guaranty with respect to such Loan, (vi) Seller has no knowledge
of any circumstance which would cause such Loan to be ineligible for FHA Mortgage Insurance or a VA Loan Guaranty, as applicable, or cause FHA or VA to deny or reject the related Mortgagor’s application for FHA Mortgage Insurance or a VA Loan
Guaranty, respectively and (vii) each FHA Loan has been approved by an employee of Seller who is a direct endorsement underwriter.

Custodial Addendum 

This Annex III forms a part of the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of May 14, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, including this Annex III and the other Annexes thereto, the “Agreement”) among loanDepot.com, LLC as seller and Mello Warehouse Securitization Trust 2019-1 as buyer
and agreed to and acknowledged by U.S. Bank National Association as Custodian. This Annex III sets forth additional terms and conditions relating to the Custodian’s role and duties in all transactions under the Agreement. Capitalized terms used
but not defined in this Annex III shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. References in this Annex III to Sections shall, unless expressly stated to the contrary, mean Sections of this Annex III. 

 

	 	1.	 MAINTENANCE OF BUYER’S ACCOUNT AND SELLER’S ACCOUNT 

(a) Buyer’s Account and Seller’s Account. Custodian shall maintain such records and establish such
accounts as may be required from time to time to receive, hold and account for all Assets to be held for and on behalf of Buyer pursuant to the Agreement. Custodian shall maintain such records and establish such accounts as may be required from time
to time to receive, hold and account for all Assets to be held for and on behalf of Seller pursuant to the Agreement. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Cash on deposit with the Custodian on behalf of Buyer or Seller
pursuant to this Agreement may be invested at the written direction of the Seller in Permitted Investments, with stated maturities no later than the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date or Repurchase Date, as applicable. Any losses resulting
from any Permitted Investments shall be promptly reimbursed by the Seller prior to any applicable Remittance Date or Repurchase Date. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, earnings, interests or dividends from such
investments shall be payable to the Seller. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Cash on deposit with the Custodian on behalf of Buyer or Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall remain uninvested. The parties agree that for all
purposes relating to the Agreement, Buyer’s Account and the Purchased Assets, Custodian’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC or any successor provision) shall be the
State of New York. Custodian will maintain Buyer’s Account as a custody account and, as requested by Seller and Buyer, as a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501 of Article 8 of
the UCC in which a “financial asset” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9)(iii) of the UCC, is being held, and shall administer Buyer’s Account as a securities intermediary in the same manner
it administers similar accounts established for the same purpose. Custodian shall create and maintain the books and records created in connection with Buyer’s Account in the State of Illinois. 

(b) Transfer of Assets to Accounts. The Purchased Assets shall be maintained by Custodian in Buyer’s Account. All Assets of Seller
that are not Purchased Assets shall be maintained in Seller’s Account. Custodian, in its capacities as collateral agent and securities intermediary, shall maintain Cash for Buyer’s Account and Seller’s Account in the State of
Minnesota. Any specification herein that Seller shall “deliver” or “transfer” or otherwise convey Eligible Assets (other than Cash) to Custodian shall be satisfied by the delivery to Custodian by

  
 Annex III-1 

 
Seller or the Mortgage Loan Custodian of a Trust Receipt or Participation Certificate covering such Eligible Assets. Any delivery, transfer or other conveyance of Eligible Assets (other than
Cash) by Buyer or the Custodian to Seller shall be effected by Custodian’s notation thereof on its books and records. All such conveyances shall be confirmed and further evidenced by the listing of such Eligible Assets on the related Daily
Custodian Statement as belonging to Buyer or Seller, as applicable. 
 (c) Segregation of Assets. 

(i) Custodian shall segregate and separately account on its books and records for the Purchased Assets held for Buyer from
assets it holds in its individual capacity, for Seller, or in any other trust or custodial capacity. Custodian shall maintain possession of such Purchased Assets for Buyer until (A) it receives Buyer’s written instructions to deliver or
transfer to Buyer or its designee such Purchased Assets; (B) Seller substitutes Assets as provided in Section 4(d) hereof; (C) Custodian delivers Purchased Assets to Seller or its designee as provided in
Section 3(e); or (D) this Agreement is terminated and Custodian has received disposition instructions from Buyer and/or Seller, as applicable. 

(ii) Custodian shall segregate and separately account on its books and records for all Assets held for Seller from assets it

Section 3, (B) they are substituted pursuant to Section 4(d), or (C) it has received disposition instructions in connection with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1(c)(i)(D). 
 (d) No Lien or Pledge By Custodian. Buyer’s Account, including
Purchased Assets therein, and Seller’s Account, including Assets and Cash therein, shall not be subject to any security interest, lien or right of setoff by Custodian or any third party claiming through Custodian. Except as required by law or
regulation, Custodian shall not pledge, encumber, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise grant any third party an interest in, any Assets held in Buyer’s Account or Seller’s Account pursuant to the Agreement.

(a) Seller’s Instructions. On each Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver to Custodian, prior to 3:00 p.m., Written Instructions
consisting of (1) an Asset Tape in a format that is mutually acceptable to Seller and Custodian that, among other things, (x) identifies the Eligible Assets proposed to be subject to the Transaction, the Purchase Date, the Purchase Price,
the Repurchase Date, the Repurchase Price (or rate), and the Market Value with respect to such Eligible Assets, and (y) sets forth the Market Value with respect to the Purchased Assets then subject to Transactions (to the extent such Market
Value is determined pursuant to clause (i) of the definition thereof by 4:00 p.m. on the prior Business Day) and (2) if the Purchase Price attributable to any Eligible Mortgage Loan listed on such Asset Tape is to be paid by Buyer to a
Third Party Financier as provided in Section 3(a)(iii), identifies the account of such Third Party Financier (and the related wire transfer instructions) to which such Purchase Price is to be paid. 

  
 Annex III-2 

 (b) Seller’s Tender of Eligible Assets. Prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Purchase Date
for such Transaction, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Custodian for credit to Seller’s Account the Eligible Assets to be transferred to Buyer’s Account upon the consummation of the Transaction on such Purchase Date,
along with any Instruments related thereto, but only to the extent that such Eligible Assets or Instruments are not already being held by Custodian in Seller’s Account. 

(c) Buyer’s Purchase Price. Prior to 2:00 p.m. on the initial Purchase Date, Buyer shall transfer, or cause to be
transferred, to Buyer’s Account Cash in the amount of $300,000,000. Prior to 2:00 p.m. on the Purchase Date for each subsequent Transaction, Buyer shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Buyer’s Account sufficient Cash such that the
total Cash balance in Buyer’s Account after such transfer equals or exceeds the excess, if any, of the Purchase Price contained in the Written Instructions delivered with respect to such Transaction pursuant to
Section 2(a) over the Repurchase Price, if any, owing by Seller on such date. 
 (d) Cash Payments. All
payments of Cash to be credited to Buyer’s Account shall be effected either (x) by transfer from Seller’s Account or another account maintained by Seller at Custodian or (y) by transfer from a Takeout Investor as contemplated by
Section 3(a)(iii). All payments of Cash to be credited to Seller’s Account, or to the account of a Third Party Financier as contemplated by Section 3(a)(iii), shall be effected either by transfer from Buyer’s Account or another
account maintained by Buyer at Custodian. 
  

	 	3.	 EFFECTING TRANSACTIONS 

(a) Purchase Date. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction subject to this Agreement, Custodian shall transfer to Seller’s Account
Cash from Buyer’s Account in an amount equal to the Purchase Price and transfer from Seller’s Account to Buyer’s Account Eligible Assets in accordance with Seller’s Written Instructions with respect to such Transaction, subject
to the following provisions: 
 (i) Review Procedures. By no later than 4:00 p.m. on a Purchase Date, Custodian shall
review each of the Instruments received on such Purchase Date pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Custodial Addendum in order to determine that such Instruments (a) do not contain language expressly restricting or prohibiting assignment of
such Instrument, (b) are, to the extent of any assignment provision or allonge affixed thereto that requires completion, fully completed to reflect Buyer as assignee or otherwise prepared in blank and (c) are substantially in one or more
of the form(s) attached to the Mortgage Loan Custodial Agreement. Any Assets which are not Eligible Assets shall not be included in the calculations set forth below and shall not be transferred to Buyer’s Account. Seller shall promptly provide
the complete entity name upon request from Custodian. The Custodian is only responsible for verifying the Portfolio Criteria set forth in Schedule II to Annex I of this Agreement based on the Asset Tape and shall not be responsible for verifying the
representations and warranties set forth in Schedule I to Annex I. 

  
 Annex III-3 

 (ii) Determination of Market Value. Custodian shall obtain the Market
Value of all Assets to be transferred to Buyer’s Account with respect to a Transaction from the most recently delivered Asset Tape, or from Seller or Buyer as provided in the definition of Market Value. Custodian shall exclude from the
determination of the Market Value and return to Seller’s Account any Assets that (x) do not constitute Eligible Assets (including those Assets as to which Buyer and Seller are disputing the Market Value and such dispute is not resolved by
4:30 p.m.), (y) otherwise do not meet the criteria set forth in Section 3(a)(i) or (z) do not conform to Seller’s instructions provided to Custodian under Section 2(a). If the Market
Value of Eligible Assets to be transferred to Buyer’s Account on any Purchase Date is less than the Repurchase Price with respect to the Transaction the Repurchase Date for which is the same date, Custodian shall immediately notify Seller, and
Seller shall deliver Additional Purchased Assets and/or Cash to Seller’s Account in an amount sufficient to cure the shortfall by no later than 5:00 p.m. on such Purchase Date. 

(iii) Transfers Third Party Financiers and to Takeout Investors. Subject to compliance in all respects with this
Agreement: 
 (A) Seller shall be entitled to cause the transfer to Buyer of
Non-Pooled Mortgage Loans that are Eligible Assets (each, a “Third Party Financed Loan”) that, immediately prior to such transfer, had been owned by or pledged to a third party under a
repurchase agreement or other financing arrangement between Seller and a third party (a “Third Party Financier”), subject to delivery by such Third Party Financier of its release of any interest in such Third Party Financed Loan at
the time of its receipt of payment of the amount owing to it in respect thereof (the “Third Party Loan Purchase Price”). 

(B) In connection with the repurchase on a Repurchase Date of any Purchased Mortgage Loan that Seller intends to convey on such
date to a Takeout Investor, Seller shall be entitled to instruct Buyer to (x) deliver a release of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loan to a Takeout Investor and (y) receive payment of all or a specified portion of
applicable Repurchase Price therefor directly from such Takeout Investor, such payment to be made to Buyer’s Account (or to a custodial account in which Buyer has a security interest in such Repurchase Price and from which payment will be made
to Buyer upon settlement of such transactions). In the event that such Takeout Investor does not pay the full Repurchase Price for any such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall immediately pay Cash equal to any such shortfall to Buyer’s
Account. 
 (iv) Payment of Purchase Price. Provided that (A) the Market Value of Eligible Assets to be
transferred to Buyer’s Account equals or exceeds the Purchase Price with respect to such Transaction and (B) the Custodian has confirmed the delivery into Buyer’s Account of any such Eligible Assets that are Third Party Financed
Loans, Custodian shall (x) transfer all such Eligible Assets that are in Seller’s Account to Buyer’s Account, (y) disburse Cash from Buyer’s Account to the account designated by each applicable Third Party Financier in an
amount equal to the Third Party Loan Purchase Price owed to such Third Party Financier and (z) disburse Cash from Buyer’s Account to Seller’s Account in an amount equal to the remaining amount, if any, by which such Purchase Price
exceeds the Repurchase Price, if any, due from Seller to Buyer on such date. 

  
 Annex III-4 

 (v) Maintenance of Seller’s Account and Buyer’s Account.
Custodian shall take possession of each Instrument at a secure facility at one of its offices in Minnesota or Illinois and, during the term of a particular Transaction, shall identify such Eligible Asset on its books and records as belonging to
Buyer, and at all other times, shall identify such Eligible Asset on its books and records as belonging to Seller. 
 (b) Custodian’s
Inability to Complete a Transaction. If Custodian is unable to complete a Transaction because Seller has failed to provide complete Written Instructions as required by Section 2 or either Buyer or Seller has failed to
arrange for the transfer of sufficient Cash or Eligible Assets to Buyer’s Account or Seller’s Account, respectively, Custodian shall promptly notify Seller and Buyer and await the receipt of such Written Instructions, Cash or Eligible
Assets. If Custodian has not received Written Instructions from Seller, sufficient Cash from Buyer or sufficient Eligible Assets by 5:00 p.m. on the related Purchase Date, Buyer and Seller irrevocably agree and instruct Custodian to effect the
Transaction as follows: (i) if the cash balance in Buyer’s Account shall be less than the Purchase Price set forth in Seller’s Instructions, the cash balance in Buyer’s Account shall be deemed to be the Purchase Price, the
remaining terms of the Transaction shall be determined in accordance with Section 3(a), and Seller shall provide Custodian with further Written Instructions with respect to a recalculated Repurchase Price for such
Transaction; (ii) if the cash balance in Buyer’s Account is equal to the Purchase Price or exceeds the Market Value of Eligible Assets in Seller’s Account, Custodian shall credit to Seller’s Account and, if applicable, transfer
to the accounts of Third Party Financiers Cash in an aggregate amount equal to the Market Value of the Eligible Assets, and the difference between (x) the aggregate of the amount credited to Seller’s Account and the amount transferred to
accounts of Third Party Financiers and (y) the Purchase Price shall be retained by Buyer and held by Custodian in Buyer’s Account. In any event, Buyer and Seller shall remain obligated to each other pursuant to the original terms of each
Transaction. 
 (c) Simultaneous Transaction. Buyer and Seller agree that in effecting Transactions transfers between Buyer’s
Account and Seller’s Account are intended to be, and shall be deemed to be, simultaneous. During any period that Cash and Assets are held by or for Buyer or Seller and payment has not been made therefor, the receiving party shall be deemed to
hold the Cash and Assets in trust for the delivering party and shall be obligated to return the Cash and Assets upon the delivering party’s request. 

(d) Ownership of Eligible Assets; Transfers to Third Parties. 

(i) Upon the effectuation of a Transaction as provided in this Section 3, until the related
Repurchase Date or until Custodian shall receive from Buyer a Notice of Default, it is agreed by Seller and Buyer that, subject to Seller’s right of substitution pursuant to Section 4(d) and notwithstanding the credit
of Income to Seller’s Account pursuant to Section 3(e), the Purchased Assets, including the assets that underlie or otherwise relate to the Purchased Assets (such as mortgages and mortgage notes), shall be for all
purposes the property of Buyer. Buyer agrees, however, that, subject to Section 6 hereof and the Agreement, it will resell to Seller on the Repurchase Date the identical Purchased Assets (and not substitute other assets
therefor), together with the assets that underlie or otherwise relate to the Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price. 

  
 Annex III-5 

 (ii) Buyer, Seller and Custodian agree that the Purchased Assets and Cash
held in Buyer’s Account from time to time will be held by Custodian as agent of Buyer, that Custodian will take such actions with respect of Buyer’s Account and any Purchased Assets and Cash therein as Buyer shall direct, and that in no
event shall any consent of Seller be required for the taking of any such action by Custodian. Buyer hereby covenants, for the exclusive benefit of Seller, that it shall not, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (upon which the provisions
of Section 6 shall be controlling) without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall only be effective if a copy thereof shall have been delivered to Custodian), sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise
utilize or transfer Purchased Assets held in Buyer’s Account with respect to any Transaction. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, Buyer hereby covenants, for the exclusive benefit of Seller, that Buyer will not instruct
Custodian to deliver any Purchased Assets or Cash in Buyer’s Account to any person other than Seller or a person designated by Seller unless and until it has given a Notice of Default to Custodian. The foregoing covenants are for the exclusive
benefit of Seller only and shall in no way be deemed to constitute a limitation on Buyer’s right at any time to instruct Custodian to act, or on Custodian’s obligation to act, upon Buyer’s instructions. To the extent not otherwise
inconsistent with the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of a secured party under the UCC with respect to Purchased Assets held in Buyer’s Account. 

(iii) Custodian shall not be liable for any Losses incurred or sustained by Buyer, Seller or any third party as a result of
Custodian transferring any Purchased Assets or Cash in Buyer’s Account pursuant to Buyer’s instructions (whether or not subsequent to receipt of a Notice of Default) and shall have no further obligation or responsibility to Seller or Buyer
under this Agreement with respect to any Purchased Assets or cash transferred from Buyer’s Account. 
 (iv) Except as
provided in Section 2(a) and Section 15 of the Agreement, any instruction to Custodian to transfer Purchased Assets or Cash from Buyer’s Account during the term of a Transaction shall be set forth in a written notice in substantially
the form attached hereto as Appendix I. Buyer shall deliver such notice to a Responsible Officer of Custodian and shall send Seller a copy of same. Custodian shall, as promptly as practicable under the circumstances, act in accordance with
such instructions; it being understood and agreed that Custodian shall have no liability for its inability to comply with Buyer’s instructions if the rules or systems of the issuer of an Instrument prevent Custodian from transferring Purchased
Assets from Buyer’s Account. Buyer shall pay to Custodian all applicable fees, costs and charges associated with such transfer from Buyer’s Account. 

  
 Annex III-6 

 (e) Payment of Income. Custodian shall credit to the Buyer’s Account any Income
with respect to the Purchased Assets received by Custodian. Until such time that Custodian shall receive a Notice of Default from Buyer pursuant to Section 6, Custodian shall on each Repurchase Date credit to the
Seller’s Account any such Income that has not previously been credited to the Seller’s Account. 
 (f) Effect of Notice of Levy,
etc. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Custodian shall not be required to deliver or transfer Assets in contravention of any notice of levy, seizure or similar notice or order, or judgment, issued or directed by a
governmental agency or court, or officer thereof, having jurisdiction over Custodian or its agents or affiliates, which on its face affects such Assets. Custodian shall give Buyer and Seller prompt notice of any such notice or order. 

 

	 	4.	 VALUATION AND SUBSTITUTIONS OF ASSETS 

(a) Valuation of Eligible Assets. Seller shall deliver to Custodian an Asset Tape on each Business Day. Custodian shall obtain the
Market Values and determine the Market Value of the Purchased Assets set forth on such Asset Tape by 4:00 p.m. on such Business Day in the manner provided in Section 3(a)(ii); provided that if there is a dispute between
Buyer and Seller as to Market Value that has not been resolved by 4:30 p.m., the affected Purchased Asset shall not be deemed to be an Eligible Asset and shall be given a Market Value that is the lesser of the Custodian’s determination of
Market Value and the Seller’s value. The Custodian shall provide a written report indicating the Market Value for each Purchased Asset, provided, that such written report may be included in the Daily Custodian Statement. 

(b) Margin Deficit. In the event the Repurchase Price of outstanding Transactions is greater than the sum of (i) the aggregate
Market Value of the Purchased Assets and (ii) cash or Eligible Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Buyer’s Account (a “Margin Deficit”), Custodian shall so notify Seller by 4:30 p.m. on such Business Day. By no later than
5:00 p.m. on the date of any such notice, Seller shall transfer to Seller’s Account Additional Purchased Assets and/or Cash such that, after transfer thereof by Buyer to Buyer’s Account, the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets
(including Additional Purchased Assets and Cash) equals or exceeds the Repurchase Price of outstanding Transactions. If such Margin Deficit is not cured by the Repo Seller within the same Business Day (if notice of a Margin Deficit is provided at or
before 4:30 p.m. (New York time) on such day) or the immediately following Business Day (if notice of a Margin Deficit is provided after 4:30 p.m. (New York time) the, Custodian shall notify Buyer and Seller that a Repo Event of Default has
occurred, unless waived in writing by 100% of the Noteholders of each class of Notes. All Additional Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer’s Account shall be deemed to be Purchased Assets. 

(c) [Reserved]. 
 (d)
Substitutions of Purchased Assets. Buyer hereby authorizes Custodian, upon Written Instructions from Seller, to transfer Purchased Assets to Seller against transfer to the Buyer’s Account of Replacement Assets determined by Custodian
under Section 4(a) to have an aggregate Market Value equal to or greater than the aggregate Market Value of Purchased Assets released hereunder; provided, however, if any of the Purchased Assets are being transferred back
to Seller by reason of failure to constitute Qualified Mortgages, the aggregate Market Value of such Replacement Assets shall not be less than the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets. All Replacement Assets transferred to the Buyer’s
Account shall be deemed to be Purchased 

  
 Annex III-7 

 
Assets as of the Purchase Date of, and identified to, the outstanding Transaction. In connection with Custodian’s performance of its duties under this Section 4(d),
the parties hereto acknowledge that throughout each day during which Transactions are outstanding, Custodian shall be entitled to, without specific instructions of any kind (other than Seller’s Written Instructions), re-allocate Eligible Assets among Transactions as many times as may be necessary in connection with the origination, rolling over and termination of various Transactions and make appropriate substitutions from and
into the Buyer’s Account in connection therewith, so long as such substitutions are made in accordance with this Section 4(d) and subject to the provisions of Section 6, and Custodian shall
not be required to provide a statement or reconciliation of such Buyer’s Accounts indicating such substitutions except as of the end of each such Business Day, such information to be contained in the Daily Custodian Statement pursuant to the
provisions of Section 7 hereof. 
  

	 	5.	 REPURCHASE DATE 

Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Date for any Transaction subject to Section 6 hereof and the Repurchase
Agreement, Buyer hereby irrevocably instructs Custodian to release to Seller the Purchased Assets with respect to such Transaction and to transfer such Purchased Assets from Buyer’s Account to Seller’s Account or to such other account as
Seller may designate in accordance with Section 3(a)(iii). Seller hereby irrevocably instructs Custodian at the time Purchased Assets are transferred to Seller’s Account to make payment to Buyer of the Repurchase Price therefor by debiting
Cash from Seller’s Account in the amount of the Repurchase Price therefor and crediting such Cash to Buyer’s Account. If on the Repurchase Date, Seller’s Account does not contain sufficient cash available to repurchase such Purchased
Assets with respect to any Transactions, Custodian shall notify Seller and Buyer and Seller shall give Custodian Written Instructions identifying which Purchased Assets, if any, are to be repurchased and the Repurchase Price. 

 

	 	6.	 DEFAULT 

(a) Delivery of Notice of Default. If the Seller shall declare an Event of Default, it shall deliver a Notice of Default to Custodian.
Custodian shall notify the Buyer of the receipt of a Notice of Default, but shall have no further obligation or duty to inquire into the nature or validity of the Event of Default set forth in the Notice of Default. 

(b) Effect of Buyer’s Notice of Default. If Buyer shall declare an Event of Default, it shall deliver a Notice of Default to
Custodian. Custodian shall notify the Seller of the receipt of a Notice of Default, but shall have no further obligation or duty to inquire into the nature or validity of the Event of Default set forth in the Notice of Default. At any time during
which Custodian has received a Notice of Default from Buyer with respect to any Transaction, Custodian shall: 
 (i) give
notice to Seller of such Notice of Default and hold the Purchased Assets in Buyer’s Account, or transfer the same in accordance with Buyer’s instructions to Custodian; and 

  
 Annex III-8 

 (ii) cease (A) transferring (x) Assets from Seller’s Account to

Assets pursuant to Sections 3 and 4; (C) tendering the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 3(a); or (D) releasing Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 5. 

(c) Control. All property from time to time in Buyer’s Account shall be owned and controlled solely by Buyer, and Bank shall follow
only Buyer’s instructions with respect to Buyer’s Account. All property from time to time in Seller’s Account shall be owned and controlled solely by Seller, and Bank shall follow only Seller’s instructions with respect to
Seller’s Account. If requested in writing by Buyer, Custodian shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, comply with all notifications it receives originated by Buyer directing it to transfer or redeem any property in
Buyer’s Account and any other instructions or “entitlement orders” (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC) concerning Buyer’s Account, in each case without further consent by Seller. Custodian shall have no duty to investigate or
make any determination as to whether a default exists under the Agreement and shall comply with any entitlement orders or other notifications or instructions from Buyer even if it believes that no such default exists, and Custodian shall have no
liability to Seller or to any other Person for complying with orders from Buyer even if Seller notifies Custodian that Buyer has no right to give such instructions. Nothing contained in this Section 6(c) is intended to, nor
shall it be deemed to limit, modify or supersede in any respect the rights of the Seller provided in Section 6(d) hereof, it being agreed that Section 6(d) does not and shall not affect
Buyer’s control of the Buyer’s Account 
 (d) Effect of Seller’s Notice of Default. At any time Custodian
has received a Notice of Default from Seller, with respect to any Transaction, Custodian shall: 
 (i) give notice to Buyer
of such Notice of Default and continue to hold the Purchased Assets then held in Seller’s Account or transfer the same in accordance with Seller’s Written Instructions to Custodian; and 

(ii) cease: (A) transferring (x) Assets from Seller’s Account to Buyer’s Account and (y) Cash from
Buyer’s Account to Seller, in each case pursuant to Section 3(a) in connection with any new Transactions; (B) determining the Market Value of Purchased Assets pursuant to Sections 3 and 4; (C) transferring
the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 3(a), or (D) releasing Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Section 5. 

(e) Custodian’s Knowledge. Custodian shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of the existence of an
Event of Default. Custodian shall be entitled to rely on Buyer’s or Seller’s written Notice of Default received by a Responsible Officer of the Custodian and shall have no duty to inquire into the nature or validity of an Event of Default.
Subject to any court order, judgment, injunction, stay in bankruptcy, or any other writ or process issued by any court or governmental authority, Custodian shall execute such documents as are necessary to assign Custodian’s interest in the
Instrument relating to the Eligible Assets. To the extent any Instrument includes Assets not related to such Notice of Default, Custodian will 

  
 Annex III-9 

 
instruct the issuer of such Instrument to issue in exchange therefor separate Instruments so that the Eligible Assets to which such Notice of Default relates are represented by one Instrument and
those Assets to which such Notice of Default does not relate are represented by a different Instrument. Custodian may fully rely without further inquiry on the statements set forth in such Notice of Default and on the instructions of Buyer or
Seller, as applicable, delivered in connection therewith. 
  

	 	7.	 CUSTODIAN STATEMENTS 

Custodian shall provide Seller with online access to Seller’s Account reflecting the Cash and Assets on deposit therein and related
deposits and withdrawals and shall provide Buyer and Seller with online access to Buyer’s Account reflecting the Cash and Purchased Assets on deposit therein and related deposits and withdrawals. Buyer and Seller shall promptly advise Custodian
of any error, omission or inaccuracy that appears in Seller’s Account or Buyer’s Account, as applicable. Custodian shall undertake to promptly correct any errors, failures or omissions that are reported to Custodian by Buyer or Seller. Any
such corrections shall be reflected in the online record of the Seller’s Account or Buyer’s Account, as applicable. 
 Each of the
Buyer and Seller acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Buyer and Seller the right or option to receive individual confirmations of security transactions at no
additional cost, as they occur, the Buyer and Seller specifically waives the option to receive such confirmation to the extent permitted by law. The Custodian shall furnish or make available to the Buyer and Seller on each Business Day a transaction
statement (the “Daily Custodian Statement”) that includes details for all investment transactions made by the Custodian hereunder, including a listing in each such statement, for each Transaction then outstanding, of the Purchase
Date of such Transaction, the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction, the Market Value and Purchase Price for each Purchased Asset, and the Pricing Rate. 
  

	 	8.	 CONCERNING CUSTODIAN

agents and employees from and against any and all loss, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims, including reasonable fees, compensation, expenses and disbursements of such agents, representatives, servicers, experts and counsel as the
Custodian may reasonably employ in connection with the exercise and performance of its powers and duties in connection herewith, and from its action or inaction in connection with the Agreement including Losses which are incurred by reason of any
action or inaction by any issuer of an Instrument (collectively, “Losses”), except for those Losses arising out of Custodian’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as agreed by the Custodian or determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction). In no event shall Custodian be liable to Buyer, Seller or any third party for special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
Custodian may apply for and obtain the advice of nationally recognized counsel, accountants and other experts and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with such reasonable advice or
opinion. Buyer and Seller agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify Custodian and to hold it harmless against any and all Losses (including 

  
 Annex III-10 

 
claims by Buyer or Seller) which are sustained by Custodian as a result of Custodian’s action or inaction in connection with this Agreement (including legal fees or expenses incurred in
connection with any action or suit defended or brought by the Custodian to enforce indemnification obligations of the parties), except those Losses arising out of Custodian’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as agreed by
the Custodian or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). It is expressly understood and agreed that Custodian’s right to indemnification hereunder shall be enforceable against Buyer and Seller directly, without any obligation to first
proceed against any third party for whom they may act, and irrespective of any rights or recourse that Buyer or Seller may have against any such third party. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of Buyer and Seller and shall survive the
termination of any Transactions or this Agreement or resignation or removal of the Custodian. 
 (b) No Guaranty by Custodian. It is
expressly agreed and acknowledged by Buyer and Seller that Custodian is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of Buyer or Seller hereunder nor is it assuming any credit risk associated with Transactions
hereunder, which liabilities and risks are the responsibility of Buyer and Seller; further, it is expressly agreed that Custodian is not undertaking to make credit available to Seller or Buyer to enable it to complete Transactions hereunder. 

(c) No Duty of Inquiry. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Custodian shall be under no obligation to inquire into, and
shall not be liable for:

or for Buyer or Seller, the legality of the purchase or sale or the validity or enforceability of any Instrument received by Custodian hereunder; 

(ii) The legality or effectiveness of the purchase or delivery or transfer of any Eligible Asset or the propriety of the price
with which such Eligible Asset is acquired or sold under a Transaction; 
 (iii) The due authority of any Authorized Person
to act on behalf of Buyer or Seller with respect to Cash or Eligible Assets held in Buyer’s Account or Seller’s Account; 

(iv) The due authority of Buyer, Seller or any entities for which Buyer acts to purchase, sell or hold any particular Eligible
Assets hereunder; 
 (v) Any Market Value provided to it by a third-party valuation provider;

(viii) The creditworthiness of any issuer of an Instrument. 

  
 Annex III-11 

 (d) Assets in Default. Custodian shall not be under any duty or obligation to take
action to effect collection of any amount if the Assets upon which such amount is payable are in default, or if payment is refused after due demand or presentation. 

(e) Custodian Fees. Custodian shall be entitled to (i) custodial fees in respect of the Seller’s Account, which fees shall be
paid by Seller on a monthly basis in the amounts separately agreed by Seller and Custodian and (ii) a monthly custodial fee in respect of the Buyer’s Account in the amount, and subject to payment in the manner set forth in the Indenture.

 (f) Reliance on Writings. Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice,
Written Instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it (including without limitation any of the foregoing provided to it by telecopier or electronic means), not only
as to its due execution and validity, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which it in good faith believes to be genuine and signed or presented by the proper person (which in the case of any instruction from
or on behalf of Buyer or Seller shall be an Authorized Person); and Custodian shall be entitled to presume the genuineness and due authority of any signature appearing thereon. Custodian shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any such notice, instruction, statement, certificate, statement, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document, provided, however, that if the form thereof is specifically
prescribed by the terms of this Agreement, Custodian shall examine the same to determine whether it substantially conforms on its face to such requirements hereof. Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with
respect hereto unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge or unless (and then only to the extent received) in writing by Custodian at its address below and specifically referencing this Agreement. 

(g) Force Majeure. Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under

breakdown, computer failure or failure of any money transmission system, credit risks of clearing bank, agent or system and any other market conditions affecting the execution or settlement of Transactions or any event where, in the reasonable
opinion of the Custodian, performance of any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement would or may be illegal or would result in the Custodian being in breach of any law, rule, regulation, or any decree, order or judgment of any court,
or practice, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action of any relevant government, government agency, regulatory authority, stock exchange or self-regulatory organization to which Custodian is subject; provided however, that
Custodian shall use its best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied in this Agreement against Custodian. 

(j) Disputes. If any dispute or conflicting claim is made by any person with respect to securities or other property held for
Buyer or Seller, Custodian shall be entitled to refuse to act until either (i) such dispute or conflicting claim has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by agreement between conflicting parties, and Custodian
has received written evidence satisfactory to it of such determination or agreement; or (ii) Custodian has received an indemnity, security or both satisfactory to it and sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all loss,
liability and expense which the Custodian may incur as a result of its actions. 
 (k) Advances. Under no circumstances shall
Custodian have any responsibility, duty or obligation to advance its own funds to or for the benefit of Buyer or Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Custodian (or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents) at any time or times, pursuant to this
Agreement: (i) advances Cash or securities for any purpose, including, without limitation, advances or overdrafts relating to or resulting from securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts, assumed settlements, provisional credit or
payment items, or reclaimed payments or adjustments or claw-backs, or (ii) incurs any liability to pay taxes, interest, charges, expenses, assessments, or other moneys in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except such as may
arise from its own gross negligent acts or gross negligent omissions, then, any property or assets at any time held for the account of Buyer or Seller shall be subject to a right of set-off thereon in favor of
Custodian for the repayment of such advances and liabilities. If Buyer and Seller fail to promptly reimburse Custodian in respect of the advances or liabilities described above, Custodian, after written notice to Buyer and Seller, may utilize
available Cash of Buyer or Seller, in a manner, at a time and at a price which Custodian deems proper, to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement and make itself whole. 

(l) Standard of Care. None of Custodian or any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any error of
judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted to be taken by it (or any of its directors, officers of employees), or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless such
action constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith on its part. Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers conferred upon it, or taken by it
pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed hereunder, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action. 

(m) Expenditure of Own Funds. No provision of this Agreement shall require Custodian to expend or risk its own funds, or to take any
action (or forbearance from action) hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or any financial or other liability unless it shall be furnished with acceptable indemnification. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Custodian
to commence, prosecute or defend legal proceedings in any instance, whether on behalf of the either Buyer or Seller on its own behalf or otherwise, with respect to any matter arising hereunder or relating to this Agreement or the services
contemplated hereby. 

  
 Annex III-13 

 (n) Merger or Consolidation of the Custodian. Any corporation, banking association or
trust company into which Custodian may be merged or converted or consolidated with, or any corporation, banking association or trust company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Custodian shall be a party, or any
corporation, banking association or trust company succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of Custodian, shall be the successor of Custodian hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto provided that in either such case, such corporation, banking association or trust company shall (i) be authorized under all applicable laws and its organizational documents to act as custodian,
(ii) be able to perform each of the obligations and covenants of the Custodian contained in this Agreement, (iii) have aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $50,000,000, and (iv) be subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. 
 (o) Anti-Money Laundering. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and
money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a
business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, the Custodian may ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Custodian may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and
authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. 
 (p) Agents.
The Custodian may execute any of its powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Custodian shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or
attorney or the supervision of those agents or attorneys, appointed by it hereunder. 
 (q) Custodian’s Liability. In no event
shall the Custodian be liable for failure to perform its duties hereunder if such failure is a direct or proximate result of another party’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder. 

 

	 	9.	 TERMINATION 

Any of the parties hereto may terminate this Annex III by giving to the other parties a notice in writing specifying the date of such
termination, which shall be not less than sixty (60) days after the date of giving of such notice. Upon termination hereof, Seller shall pay to Custodian such compensation as may be due to Custodian as of the date of such termination, and shall
likewise reimburse Custodian for any disbursements and expenses made or incurred by Custodian and payable or reimbursable hereunder. If Buyer and Seller do not provide Written Instructions designating a successor custodian prior to the termination
date, Custodian shall (x) at Seller’s expense, continue to hold Assets and Cash in Seller’s Account until it has received Written Instructions from Seller as to the delivery of such Assets and Cash, and (y) at Buyer’s
expense, continue to hold Purchased Assets and Cash in Buyer’s Account until the Repurchase Date with respect to each outstanding Transaction, or until it has received a Notice of Default in connection therewith and Written Instructions with
respect to delivery of such Purchased Assets. If Custodian has not received delivery instructions with respect to Purchased Assets and/or Cash in Seller’s Account or Buyer’s Account, Custodian may, in its sole discretion, deliver
Instruments and Cash to Seller or Buyer, respectively, at the notice address provided in the 

  
 Annex III-14 

 
Agreement. So long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, Seller shall appoint a successor Custodian meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in
Section 8(n) above. If an Event of Default has not and is continuing, Buyer shall appoint a successor Custodian meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8(n) above. In the event of
any termination and appointment, Seller shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of Custodian and the successor Custodian (including any costs and expenses incurred in such transfer). 

 

	 	10.	 MISCELLANEOUS 

(a) Authorized Persons. Schedule CA-I contains the names, titles, and specimen signatures
of those individuals authorized to act on behalf of Buyer and Seller for the purposes for which each is authorized. It is understood that certain designated persons may be Authorized Persons for limited purposes set forth in such lists. Buyer and
Seller each agrees to furnish to Custodian a new Schedule CA-I in the event that any Authorized Person ceases to be an Authorized Person or in the event that other or additional Authorized Persons are
appointed and authorized. Until such new Schedule CA-I is received, Custodian shall be fully protected in acting under the provisions of this Agreement upon Written Instructions from a person reasonably
believed to be an Authorized Person as set forth in the last delivered Schedule CA-I. 
 (b)
Access to Books and Records. Upon reasonable request, Buyer and Seller shall have access to Custodian’s books and records maintained in connection with this Agreement during Custodian’s normal business hours. Upon reasonable
request, copies of any such books and records shall be provided to Buyer or Seller at the expense of the requesting party. 
 (c)
Invalidity of any Provision. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. 

(d) Assignment to Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer hereby assigns,
conveys, transfers, delivers and sets over unto Indenture Trustee, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or existing, or hereafter acquired, under this Agreement. Custodian and Seller each consent to such
assignment and acknowledges that Indenture Trustee shall receive the benefit of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10(d). Custodian hereby agrees to comply with all instructions originated by the
Indenture Trustee relating to the Purchased Assets without further consent by Buyer. All of the beneficial interests, rights, benefits under this Agreement run in favor of the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the noteholders. The Custodian holds
the Purchased Assets for the exclusive benefit of and as the bailee of the Indenture Trustee and the noteholders, for purposes of satisfying any of the provisions of the UCC permitting possession by a bailee to perfect the Indenture Trustee’s
security interest in the collateral subject to the Indenture.
