The Repurchase Price shall be transferred directly to the related Purchaser.

Further, if due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by either Purchaser with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement, or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority whether or not having the force of law, there shall be an increase in the cost to either Purchaser or any Affiliate of either Purchaser in engaging in the present or any future Transactions, then Seller shall, from time to time and upon demand by the related Purchaser, 

compensate the related Purchaser or the related Purchaser's Affiliate for such increased costs, and such amounts shall be deemed a part of the Obligations hereunder.

Any such Confirmation and the related Transaction Notice, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed to between the applicable Purchaser and Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates.  In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Confirmation, the terms of the Confirmation shall control with respect to the related Transaction.

Subject to Barclays' rights hereunder, Barclays agrees that it will satisfy the obligation under the Takeout Commitment to deliver the related Purchased Assets to the Takeout Investor on the date specified therein.  Seller understands that, as a result of this Section 5 and each Trade Assignment, Barclays will succeed to the rights and obligations of Seller with respect to each Takeout Commitment subject to a Trade Assignment, and that in satisfying each such Takeout Commitment, Barclays will stand in the shoes of Seller and, consequently, will be acting as a non-dealer in exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations assigned pursuant to this Section 5 and each Trade Assignment.  Each Trade Assignment delivered by Seller to Barclays shall be delivered by Seller in a timely manner sufficient to enable Barclays to facilitate the settlement of the related trade on the trade date in accordance with “good delivery standards” of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association as set forth in the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Uniform Practices Manual, as amended from time to time.

	7.
	MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a)Agent shall determine the Market Value of the Purchased Assets on a daily basis as determined by Agent in its sole good faith discretion.

(b)If, as of any date of determination, the product of (i) the lesser of (x) 98% of the unpaid principal balance as of such date of all Purchased Assets then subject to all Transactions and (y) the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Assets then subject to all Transactions, taking into account the cash then on deposit in the Collection Accounts, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Purchase Price Percentage is less than the Repurchase Price (less the related Price Differential) for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Agent may, by notice to the Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to the related Purchaser or the related Purchaser's designee cash or, at the related Purchaser's option (and provided Seller has additional Eligible Mortgage Loans), additional Eligible Mortgage Loans to the related Purchaser (“Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans”) to cure the Margin Deficit.  If the Agent delivers a Margin Call to the Seller on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then the Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans to the related Purchaser or its designee no later than (i) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day.  In the event the Agent delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans no later than (i) 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c)Any cash transferred to the related Purchaser or its designee pursuant to Section 16(f)(ii) herein shall reduce the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

(d)The failure of Purchasers, on any one or more occasions, to exercise their rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions of this Agreement or limit the right of the Purchasers to do so at a later date.  Seller and Purchasers each agree that a failure or delay by a Purchaser to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive the related Purchaser's rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(e)For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed that Seller shall be responsible for satisfying any Margin Deficit existing as a result of any cram down of the unpaid principal balance of any Purchased Asset pursuant to any action by any bankruptcy court.

		
	8.
	TAXES; TAX TREATMENT

(a)All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which the Purchasers are organized or of its applicable lending office, or a state or foreign jurisdiction with respect to which Purchasers have a present or former connection, or any political subdivision thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date when due.  If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due, (c) deliver 

to the related Purchaser, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to the related Purchaser of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to the related Purchaser such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the related Purchaser receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

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

(c)Seller agrees to indemnify Purchasers for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses arising thereon or with respect thereto) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that the related Purchaser shall have provided Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d)Agent and any Purchaser that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Foreign Purchaser”) shall provide Seller and Agent with original properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Person is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which eliminates withholding tax on payments to it or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser.  In addition, the Agent shall be a “qualified intermediary” (as defined in Treasury regulation section 1.1441-1(e)(5)) and provide the Seller with an original properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8IMY with “qualified intermediary” checked in Part I and Part II properly completed to provide that the Agent is a “qualified intermediary” for a Purchaser with respect to payments under this Agreement and the other Program Documents (with all appropriate attachments) for any amount received on behalf of a Purchaser which eliminates withholding tax on payments to it on or prior to the date it becomes an Agent.  Agent and each Foreign Purchaser will resubmit the appropriate form eliminating withholding tax on payments to it on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission, or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Person as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii)(D).  For any period with respect to which the Agent or a Foreign Purchaser has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 8(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided) such Person shall not be entitled to “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 8(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however that should a Foreign Purchaser, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign Purchaser shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Purchaser to recover such Taxes.

(e)Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall require Purchasers to make available any of their tax returns or other information that they deem to be confidential or proprietary.

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

		
	9.
	SECURITY INTEREST; PURCHASERS' APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(a)Seller and Purchasers intend that (other than for tax and accounting purposes) the Transactions hereunder be sales to Purchasers of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Purchasers to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets.  However, in order to preserve Purchasers' rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller's performance of all of its Obligations, Seller hereby grants to the related Purchaser a first priority security interest in the related Purchased Assets.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Assets are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of the related Purchaser hereunder.

(b)Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Purchasers and any officers or agents thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Purchasers' discretion, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets as Purchasers at their option may deem appropriate, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Purchasers the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, to do the following if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Purchasers have elected to exercise their remedies pursuant to Section 18 hereof:

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

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

(iii)(A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Purchasers or as Purchasers shall direct, (B) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise as appropriate, to directly send or cause the applicable servicer to send “hello” letters, “goodbye” letters in the form of Exhibit D, and Section 404 Notices; (C) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Assets; (F) 

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

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
Seller also authorizes Purchasers, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Assets in connection with any sale provided for in Section 18 hereof.
The powers conferred on Purchasers hereunder are solely to protect Purchasers' interests in the Purchased Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Purchasers shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Purchasers nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder.

Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Purchasers are entering into this Agreement in reliance upon Seller's representations as to the adequacy of its financial standing, servicing facilities, personnel, records, procedures, reputation and integrity, and the continuance thereof; and (ii) Seller's engagement hereunder to provide mortgage servicing for the benefit of Purchasers is intended by the parties to be a “personal service contract” and  Seller is hereunder intended by the parties to be an “independent contractor”.

(iii)Seller shall subservice and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of Purchasers in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.  Seller shall have no right to modify or alter the terms of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the modification or alteration of the terms of any Mortgage Loan except in Strict Compliance with the related Agency Program.  Seller shall at all times maintain accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Mortgage Loans, and Agent may, at any time during Seller's business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such Servicing Records.  Seller agrees that Purchasers are the 100% beneficial owner of all Servicing Records relating to the Mortgage Loans.  Seller covenants to hold such Servicing Records for the benefit of Purchasers and to safeguard such 

Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Agent or its designee (including the Custodian) at Agent's request or otherwise as required by operation of this Section 16.

(b)Servicing Term.  Seller shall subservice such Mortgage Loans for a term of thirty (30) days commencing as of the related Purchase Date, which term may be extended in writing by Purchasers in their sole discretion, for an additional thirty-day period (each, a “Servicing Term”); provided, that Purchasers shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer at any time following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event.  If such Servicing Term is not extended by Purchasers or if Purchasers have terminated Seller as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, Seller shall transfer such servicing to Purchasers or their designees at no cost or expense to Purchasers as provided in Section 14(t).  Seller shall hold or cause to be held all Escrow Payments collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans in segregated accounts for the sole benefit of the Mortgagor and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.  If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, it has failed to perform its servicing obligations in any material respect with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Purchasers.

(c)Servicing Reports.  As requested by Purchasers from time to time, Seller shall furnish to Purchasers, Agent and Verification Agent reports in form and scope satisfactory to Purchasers, setting forth (i) data regarding the performance of the individual Mortgage Loans, (ii) a summary report of all Mortgage Loans serviced by the Seller and originated pursuant to an Agency Guide, HUD and/or FHA guidelines (on a portfolio basis), in each case, for the immediately preceding month, including, without limitation, all collections, delinquencies, defaults, defects, claim rates, losses and recoveries and (iii) any other information reasonably requested by Purchasers or Agent or Verification Agent.

(d)Backup Servicer.  The Agent, in its sole discretion, may appoint a backup servicer at any time during the term of this Agreement.  In such event, Seller shall commence monthly delivery to such backup servicer of the servicing information required to be delivered to Purchasers pursuant to Section 16(d) hereof and any other information reasonably requested by backup servicer, all in a format that is reasonably acceptable to such backup servicer.  Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses of such backup servicer, including, but not limited to all fees of such backup servicer in connection with the processing of such information and the maintenance of a servicing file with respect to the Purchased Assets.  Seller shall cooperate fully with such backup servicer in the event of a transfer of servicing hereunder and will provide such backup servicer with all documents and information necessary for such backup servicer to assume the servicing of the Purchased Assets.

(e)Collection Account.  Prior to the initial Purchase Date, Seller shall establish and maintain a separate account (the “Barclays Collection Account”), with the Bank in the Agent's name for the sole and exclusive benefit of Barclays, and a second, separate account (the “Sutton Collection Account”), with the Bank in Sutton's name for the sole and exclusive benefit of Sutton.  Such accounts shall be subject to the related Collection Account Control Agreement.  The Seller shall deposit or credit to the appropriate Collection Account all amounts collected on account of the Mortgage Loans within two (2) Business Days of receipt and such amounts shall be deposited or credited irrespective of any right of setoff or counterclaim arising in favor of Seller (or any third party claiming through it) under any other agreement or arrangement.  Amounts on deposit in a Collection Account shall be distributed as provided in Section 16(f).  Seller shall have the right to withdraw amounts on deposit therein at any time subject to the restrictions set forth in subsections 16(f)(ii) and (iv); provided, that Agent  shall have the right to block such withdrawals at any time by providing written notice thereof to Seller and Bank in accordance with the terms of the related Collection Account Control Agreement.  Seller shall deliver, or cause Bank to deliver, to Purchasers, daily account statements in respect of the Collection Accounts.

(f)Income Payments.

(i)Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset subject to that Transaction, (i) Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited such Income into the related Collection Account no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, and (ii) such Income shall be the Property of the related Purchaser subject to subsections 16(f)(ii), (iii) and (iv) below.

(ii)Seller shall have the right to withdraw from a Collection Account up to $25,000 in the aggregate on any day without the related Purchaser's prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld by such Purchaser in its sole discretion and a copy of which shall be delivered by such Purchaser to the Bank (the “Daily Withdrawal Limit”).  If, on any day, the amounts on deposit in the related Collection Account exceed $25,000 (such excess amounts, the “Excess Funds”), unless the related Purchaser shall have consented to Seller's withdrawal as provided in the foregoing sentence, Seller shall cause the Bank to disburse such Excess Funds to the related Purchaser, which amounts shall be applied by such Purchaser in the following order of priority (i) to reduce outstanding Price Differential due and payable in respect of Purchased Assets for which the related Purchaser has received the related Repurchase Price (other than Price Differential) pursuant to Section 3(f) during the prior calendar month, (ii) to reduce the Repurchase Price for all outstanding Transactions, and (iii) to pay all other Obligations then due and payable to such Purchaser.

(iii)Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Collection Account Control Agreements to the contrary, Seller shall in no event be permitted to withdraw funds from the Collection Accounts to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit (unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller cures such Margin Deficit in accordance with Section 16), or if an Event of Default is then continuing.  Further, if an uncured Margin Deficit exists as of such Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall cause the Bank to disburse the Income related to the Transaction for which the Margin Deficit exists to the related Purchaser (up to the amount of such Margin Deficit), which amounts shall be applied by the related Purchaser to reduce the related Repurchase Price.

(iv)If Successor Servicer takes delivery of such Mortgage Loans either under the circumstances set forth in Section 16(i) or otherwise, all amounts deposited in the related Custodial Account shall be paid to the related Purchaser promptly upon such delivery.

(g)With respect to each FHA Buyout Loan, (i) Seller shall complete the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's form for Single-Family Application for Insurance Benefits in Sutton's name and shall cause FHA to pay claims on such FHA Buyout Loan into the Sutton Collection Account, including by ensuring that Box 12 of the form provides “Sutton Funding LLC,” and Box 16 provides 02-0765121, and (ii) Seller shall service such FHA Buyout Loan in strict compliance with all FHA requirements.

(h)Reserved.

(i)Servicer Termination.  Purchasers, in their sole discretion, may terminate Seller's rights and obligations as subservicer of the affected Mortgage Loans and require Seller to deliver the related Servicing Records to Purchasers or their designees upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) upon the expiration of the Servicing Term as set forth in Section 16(b) by delivering written notice to Seller requiring such termination.  Such termination shall be effective upon Seller's receipt of such written notice; provided, that Seller's subservicing rights shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 17(t), regardless of whether notice of such event shall have been given to or by Purchasers or Seller.  Upon any such termination, all authority and power of Seller respecting its rights to subservice and duties under this Agreement 

relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the successor servicer appointed by Purchasers and Purchasers are hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the Mortgage Loans for such price and on such terms and conditions as Purchasers shall reasonably determine.  Seller shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Purchasers such documents that Purchasers deem necessary or appropriate to enable Purchasers to enforce such Mortgage Loans and shall perform all acts and take all actions so that the Mortgage Loans and all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans held by Seller, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans, are delivered to Successor Servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the Successor Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the Successor Servicer's possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Mortgage Loans and doing or causing to be done, all at Seller's sole expense.  To the extent that the approval of the Applicable Agency is required for any such sale or transfer, Seller shall fully cooperate with Purchasers to obtain such approval.  All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Mortgage Loans shall be the Property of Purchasers.  The subservicing rights required to be delivered to Successor Servicer in accordance with this Section 16(i) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of Seller or any third party (other than Purchasers) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of Seller other than record title to the Mortgages relating to the Mortgage Loans and the right and obligation to repurchase the Mortgage Loans hereunder.  No exercise by Purchasers of their rights under this Section 16(i) shall relieve Seller of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.

	18.
	REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Purchasers, at their option, shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:
(a)(i)    The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (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).  Seller's Obligations hereunder, to repurchase all Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by the related Purchaser and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; Seller shall immediately deliver to Purchasers or their designees any and all original papers, records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in its possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights thereon shall become Property of the related Purchaser.

(i)Purchasers may (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 18(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Purchasers may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets on a servicing-released or servicing-retained basis, as Purchasers may determine in their sole discretion and/or (B) in their sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets (including the Servicing Rights in respect of sales on a servicing-retained basis) in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder.  Seller shall remain liable to Purchasers for any amounts that remain owing to Purchasers following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence.  The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses including but not limited to legal fees incurred by either Purchaser in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations.

(ii)The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid.  In view of these characteristics of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  Accordingly, Purchasers may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Purchasers to liquidate any Purchased Asset upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Purchasers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

(iii)The Purchasers may terminate the Agreement.

(b)Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller's obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller.  In addition to their rights hereunder, Purchasers shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller's assets which may be in the possession of Purchasers, any of Purchasers' Affiliates or their designees (including the Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set‐off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement.  Purchasers may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans and all other sums or obligations owed by Purchasers to Seller or against all of Seller's Obligations to Purchasers, or Seller's obligations to Purchasers under any other agreement among the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Purchasers' right to recover any deficiency.

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

(d)Purchasers shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Purchasers determine appropriate, including, without limitation, using its rights under a power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof.

(e)Purchasers shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, and do anything that Purchasers are authorized hereunder to do.  Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Purchasers in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.

(f)Purchasers may, at their option, enter into one or more hedging transactions covering all or a portion of the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against either Purchaser relating to or arising out of such hedging transactions; including without limitation any losses resulting from such hedging transactions, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.

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

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchasers shall have the right to exercise any of their rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.
Purchasers may enforce their rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Purchasers to enforce their rights by judicial process.  Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, or any guaranty thereof, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies.  Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm's length.
Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited promptly upon receipt thereof but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours thereafter.  Seller shall be liable to Purchasers for the amount of all losses, costs and/or expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate) which Purchasers may sustain or incur in connection with hedging transactions relating to the Purchased Assets, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.
		
	19.
	DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE

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

of an Event of Default one or more remedies permitted hereunder, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies permitted hereunder.
		
	20.
	USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.
		
	21.
	INDEMNITY

(a)Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchasers, Agent and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice therefor) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, taxes, increased costs and all other expenses including out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and audit and due diligence fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including without limitation, in connection with) (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the Program Documents and all other documents related thereto, any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty or covenant in this Agreement or any other Program Document, and all actions taken pursuant thereto, (ii) the Transactions, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any acquisition or proposed acquisition, or any indemnity payable under the servicing agreement or other servicing arrangement, (iii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any Property or any environmental action relating in any way to any Property, (iv) the actual or alleged violation of any federal, state, municipal or local predatory lending laws, or (v) the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due to a cram down or similar action authorized by any bankruptcy proceeding or other case arising out of or relating to any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, in each case, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or is the result of a claim made by Seller against the Indemnified Party, and Seller is ultimately the successful party in any resulting litigation or arbitration.  Seller hereby agrees not to assert any claim against Purchasers or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.  THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

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

(c)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 21 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Purchasers against full payment therefor.

		
	22.
	WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS

Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Assets as a result of restrictions upon Purchasers or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that they may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.
		
	23.

The Seller agrees that, for any such permitted assignment, Seller will cooperate with the prompt execution and delivery of documents reasonably necessary for such assignment process to the extent that Seller incurs no cost or expense that is not paid by the related Purchaser or Agent, as applicable.  Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of the related Purchaser or Agent hereunder, and (b) the related Purchaser or Agent shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of the related Purchaser or Agent which assumes the obligations of the related Purchaser or Agent hereunder or (ii) to another Person which assumes the obligations of the related Purchaser or Agent hereunder, be released from their obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and under the Program Documents.

(c)The related Purchaser and Agent may distribute to any prospective assignee, participant or pledgee any document or other information delivered to the related Purchaser by Seller subject to the confidentiality restrictions contained in Section 35 hereof; accordingly, such prospective assignee, participant or pledgee shall be required to agree to confidentiality provisions similar to those set forth in Section 35.

NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR TRANSFER
OF SERVICING RIGHTS
You are hereby notified that the servicing of your mortgage loan, that is the right to collect payments from you, is being assigned, sold or transferred.
The assignment, sale or transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loan does not affect any term or condition of the mortgage instruments, other than the terms directly related to the servicing of your loan.
Except in limited circumstances, the law requires that your present servicer send you a notice at least 15 days before the effective date, or at closing.  Your new servicer must also send you this notice no later than 15 days after this effective date.
This notification is a requirement of Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) (12 U.S.C. 2605).  You should also be aware of the following information, which is set out in more detail in Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605).
During the 60 day period following the effective date of the transfer of the loan servicing, a loan payment received by your old servicer before its due date may not be treated by the new loan servicer as late, and a late fee may not be imposed upon you.
Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605) gives you certain consumer rights.  If you send a “qualified written request” to you loan servicer concerning the servicing of your loan, your servicer must provide you with a written acknowledgement within 20 Business Days of receipt of your request.  A “qualified written request” is written correspondence, other than notice on a payment coupon or other payment medium supplied by the servicer, which includes your name and account number and your reasons for the request.  If you want to send a “qualified written request” regarding the servicing of your loan, it must be sent to this address:
___________________
[Address]
No later than 60 Business Days after receiving your request, your servicer must make any appropriate corrections to your account, and must provide you with a written clarification regarding any dispute.  During this 60 Business Day period, your servicer may not provide information to a consumer reporting agency concerning any overdue payment related to such period or qualified written request.  However, this does not prevent the servicer from initiating foreclosure if proper grounds exist under the mortgage documents.
A Business Day is any day excluding legal public holidays (State or federal), Saturday and Sunday.
Section 6 of RESPA also provides for damages and costs for individuals or classes of individuals, in circumstances where servicers are shown to have violated the requirements of that Section.  You should seek legal advice if you believe your rights have been violated.
MIRANDA DISCLOSURE - For your protection, please be advised that we are attempting to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.  Calls will be monitored and recorded for quality assurance purposes.  If you do not wish for your call to be recorded please notify the customer service associate when calling.

BASIS FOR DETERMINING INCENTIVE AWARDS

Executive Management Incentive Plan (this “Plan”) Purpose
It is the  objective of Nationstar Mortgage LLC and any of its subsidiaries (the “Company”) to design and administer incentive opportunities that when combined with base salary will deliver above average total cash to successful performers as compared to their peers in firms competing in the same product, service, and talent marketplaces.

Eligibility for Participation
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (the “Committee”), or in the case of non-executive officers of the Company, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Chief Executive Officer”), will determine whether and to what extent an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates shall participate in this Plan.  Only those Participants, who are executive vice presidents actively employed with the Company at the time of commencement of participation, identified on the cover page, and designated by the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer are eligible for participation in this Plan.  Any action to be taken by the Chief Executive Officer under this Plan, including without limitation amendment or interpretation of this Plan, will be only for Awards to non-executive officers of the Company.

Life of this Plan
This Plan is effective beginning January 1, 2013 and continues until revised or revoked by the Committee. 

Plan Approvals
The Committee, the Chief Executive Officer, or such other person or committee to the extent authorized by the Committee, will determine the individual Awards, if any, for each Participant in this Plan.

Program Measures
Participants in this Plan are eligible for incentive compensation (the “Award”) based on achievement of objectives/goals established by the Committee, the Chief Executive Officer, or such other person or committee to the extent authorized by the Committee, as identified in the attached Appendix A.

Incentive Opportunity
Key performance objectives, measures and targets have been established for this Participant/position by the Committee, the Chief Executive Officer, or such other person or committee to the extent authorized by the Committee.  The Awards will be calculated in accordance with the applicable criteria documented in Appendix A.  These should be communicated to the eligible Participant prior to the performance period.  This Plan expresses the incentive opportunity as a percentage of base salary.  The base salary used will be the Participant's base salary as of December 31 of the applicable Plan year.

New / Reactivated / Transferred Employees
With respect to any Award payment, Participants who become eligible for participation during this Plan performance period will be prorated from the Eligibility Date unless the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer determines otherwise.  The Eligibility Date shall be defined as the effective date that the new/reactivated/transferred Participant assumes his/her responsibilities as reflected in the HRIS system.

Responsibility for Calculations and Plan Payments
The Participant must complete the requirements as set forth on Appendix A to qualify for incentive consideration.  The Committee, the Chief Executive Officer, or its designee is charged in each case with the responsibility for Award payment calculations made in accordance with the terms of this Plan.  The Committee, the Chief Executive Officer, or its designee will have the sole discretion and will be responsible for resolving discrepancies and clarifying interpretations of this Plan on an ongoing basis without the notification or consent of any Participant, and the Committee's or Chief Executive Officer's determinations shall be final and binding.

Adjustments
From time to time adjustments to the Awards may need to be made.  The Committee, the Chief Executive Officer, or its designee may modify Awards based on various business factors during this Plan year and/or input from executive management.

Performance Rating Requirement
In order to be eligible to receive any Award payment under this Plan, the Participant must, at all times, maintain an acceptable level of performance, as determined by the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer.  Participants are also expected to follow all guidelines with respect to the code of conduct as specified by the Company.

Review and Modification of this Plan
It is important that performance objectives/goals established in the Company's incentive plans support a competitive position as it relates to the market and the overall business plan.  Clearly, expectations of market potential can change during the year.  Such reviews may result in changes in incentive rates or goals upward or downward depending on specific circumstances at the Company's discretion without the need for prior notice.  Any changes will require approval of the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer.

Award Payments
Awards will be paid as soon as practical after the Company's financial results for the fiscal year have been determined, in the Committee's or Chief Executive Officer's sole discretion, but in no event later than March 15 following the end of the fiscal year.  A portion of the Award may be paid in shares of common stock of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. granted pursuant to the Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan, subject to vesting and other terms and conditions.  The Company will determine such portion in its sole discretion not later than such March 15 following the end of the fiscal year.  Except as provided below, awards shall be payable only if the Participant is employed by the Company on the date Awards are paid hereunder.   If a Participant resigns, gives notice of his/her intent to resign or otherwise terminates his/her employment or is terminated for any reason before the date Awards are paid hereunder, the Participant forfeits all rights to any Award.  Any Award that is paid is at the sole discretion of the Company or the Chief Executive Officer.

Terminated Employees
A Participant whose employment is terminated (either by the Company or the Participant), prior to the applicable date Awards are paid hereunder, shall not be eligible to receive any Award payment under this Plan, except where payment is required by federal or state law.  Otherwise stated, the Participant must be actively employed on the date Awards are paid hereunder to be eligible to receive any Award payment.  This provision shall not apply in cases of the employee's death, retirement or disability, each as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.  Management reserves the right to withhold payments from any Participant where there is an ongoing investigation with respect to appropriate business practices until such time as the investigation is complete and the Participant, in the Committee's or the Chief Executive Officer's discretion, has been exonerated.

Plan Amendments and Termination
The Committee or the Chief Executive Officer will have the complete authority to interpret Plan provisions, to revise this Plan and to make determinations deemed appropriate for administration of this Plan.  The Committee or the Chief Executive Officer reserves the right to amend or terminate this Plan or to revise any aspect of this Plan at any time, including individual payouts, without prior notification to the Participant(s).

Other General Rules
Participation in this Plan cannot be construed to constitute a contract between the Company and any of its employees. All employees are employees at-will.  Plan participation does not limit the Company from terminating an employee's employment at any time.  Participation in this Plan during the fiscal year does not imply participation in any subsequent fiscal year.

Plan Acknowledgement
I agree that acceptance of any payment hereunder constitutes my acceptance of the terms of this Plan.  I also acknowledge that without my signature to demonstrate the acceptance of all the terms and conditions of this Plan, unless prohibited by the state law, I will be ineligible to participate in this Plan and I will not be entitled to receive any payment provided for in such Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event I for any reason fail to sign or acknowledge my acceptance of all the terms and conditions of this Plan, any Award made to me by the Company will be governed exclusively by this Plan.

By signing or acknowledging this Plan, I authorize the Company to deduct any Award or advanced payment from any future Award payment or my final paycheck upon termination if the conditions for earning such Award payments do not occur.  I understand and agree to the use of an electric method of signature to demonstrate my acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Plan, including any applicable amendment, and all related business practices and policies, all of which are incorporated into and made a part of this Plan and which may be revised from time to time at the Company's sole discretion.
