such failure was caused by Seller’s required action or failure to take action under the terms of
this Agreement, any Losses attributable to an Agency Security Issuance Failure if such failure was
caused by Seller’s required action or failure to take action under the terms of this Agreement, any
Losses attributable to the improper servicing of the Mortgage Loans and any Losses attributable to
the failure of an Agency to deliver an Agency Security on the Scheduled Delivery Date if such
failure was caused by Seller’s required action or failure to take action under the terms of this
Agreement).

          With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgagor is delinquent with respect to
either the Mortgage Loan’s first or second scheduled monthly payment subsequent to origination of
such Mortgage Loan, Seller shall, upon receipt of notice from Purchaser, repurchase the beneficial
interest in such Mortgage Loan within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Purchase Date,
provided that Seller shall have no obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan or indemnify
Purchaser from any Losses resulting from or otherwise arising in connection with such delinquent
Mortgage Loan after an Agency Security backed by such Mortgage Loan is issued.

          As compensation for Seller undertaking servicing duties, Seller shall be entitled to receive
the Servicing Fee and such other compensation (e.g., late fees and assumption fees) as and
in such manner provided for under the applicable provisions of the relevant Agency Guide and Agency
Program.

          (b) Seller’s Retention of Mortgage Files and Servicing Files. Each Servicing File and
Mortgage File shall be held by Seller in order to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this
Agreement and are and shall be held in trust by Seller for the benefit of Purchaser as the owner
thereof during the Servicing Period or at any other time that it is servicing such Mortgage Loan
hereunder for the benefit of Purchaser or its permitted assigns. Seller shall at all times
maintain accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Mortgage Loans, and Purchaser may,
at any time during Seller’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such
Servicing Files. Seller covenants to hold all Servicing Files with respect to the Mortgage Loans
for the benefit of Purchaser in Seller’s capacity as servicer and to safeguard such Servicing Files
and to deliver copies of them promptly to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian) at
Purchaser’s request or otherwise as required by operation of this Section 5(b). The ownership of
each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and related Mortgage Loan Documents, and the contents of each Mortgage
File is vested in Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of Seller shall immediately
vest in Purchaser and shall be retained and maintained, in trust, by Seller at the

-23-

 

will of Purchaser in such custodial capacity only. The books and records of Seller shall be
appropriately marked to clearly reflect the ownership of the related Mortgage Loans by Purchaser
(subject to the rights of the relevant Agency upon issuance of the Agency Security). Seller shall
release from its custody the contents of any Mortgage File or Servicing File retained by it only in
accordance with this Agreement and/or any applicable Agency Guide, unless such release is required
as incidental to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan.

          (c) Custodial Collection Account; Mortgage Loan Payments. Seller shall establish one
or more custodial collection accounts, each in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, and
each titled, “PHH Mortgage Corporation, in trust for JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association
Residential Rate Mortgage Loans and various Mortgagors” (each such account, a “Custodial
Account”). Such accounts shall be established with a Qualified Depository acceptable to
Purchaser and Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser evidence of the establishment of such
accounts.

          Each Participation Certificate shall provide for monthly remittance by Seller to the
registered holder thereof of Mortgage Pool payments of principal (including principal prepayments)
and interest. The first Remittance Date for Seller’s remittance of Mortgage Loan payments to the
holder of a Participation Certificate (“Initial Remittance Date”) shall occur (if at all)
on the 25th day of the month following the month in which the Settlement Date is scheduled to
occur. The remittance on the Initial Remittance Date, or on such earlier date if an Agency
Security Issuance Failure has occurred, shall include all Mortgage Pool payments of principal
(including principal prepayments) and interest (with the interest component thereof adjusted to the
Participation Certificate Pass-Through Rate) received by Seller.

          Amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall be held for
the benefit of Purchaser and shall be released only as follows:

          (i) to the Seller, upon the repurchase by Seller of the beneficial interest in any Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Sections 5(a) or 9(c) hereof, with respect to all amounts deposited in the
Custodial Account in connection with such repurchased Mortgage Loan;

          (ii) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii) below, to the Seller upon the earlier to
occur of either (x) the Settlement Date (unless there is an Agency Securities Issuance Failure) or
(y) the date required by the applicable Agency Guide, provided that if any amounts are due and
owing by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder on such Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall
withdraw and retain such amounts from the Custodial Account on such Settlement Date, prior to such
amounts from the Custodial Account being released to Seller on such Settlement Date;

          (iii) to Purchaser promptly upon delivery of such Mortgage Loans to a successor Servicer
either as set forth herein or otherwise; and

          (iv) if an Agency Security is not issued solely as a result of an Agency Security Issuance
Failure during the month in which the related Settlement Date occurs, in any period thereafter
during which Seller remains as servicer, in accordance with Purchaser’s written instructions.

-24-

 

          Any funds deposited in any of the foregoing accounts shall at all times be fully insured by
the FDIC to the full extent permitted under Applicable Law. Funds shall be deposited in such
accounts, and may be drawn on and invested and reinvested, by Seller solely in a manner consistent
with the applicable servicing provisions of the Agency Guide and Agency Program relating to the
Agency Security originally intended to be issued in connection with the relevant Transaction.

          (d) Subservicers. No Mortgage Loans may be subserviced without the prior written
consent of the Purchaser.

          (e) Early Servicing Termination. Without limiting Purchaser’s rights to terminate
Seller as servicer as provided above, Purchaser (or any other registered holder of the related
Participation Certificate) shall nonetheless be entitled (and in the case of clause (vi), such
termination shall occur automatically), by written notice to Seller (and in the case of clause (vi)
below immediately without notice), to effect termination of Seller’s servicing and obligations
respecting the affected Mortgage Pool in the event any of the following circumstances or events
(“Servicing Termination Events”) occur and are continuing:

     (i) the Seller shall default in the payment of (i) any amount payable by it hereunder
or under any other Program Document when the same shall become due and payable, whether at
the due date thereof, or by acceleration or otherwise, (ii) Expenses or (iii) any other
obligations under the Program Documents, when the same shall become due and payable, whether
at the due date thereof, or by acceleration or otherwise, in each case which failure
continues unremedied for a period of two (2) Business Days; or

     (ii) the failure of the Seller to perform, comply with or observe any term, covenant or
agreement applicable to the Seller contained in any of Sections 10 (a) (i), (xi), (xv),
(xvii), (xviii), (xx), (xxii), (xxiii), or (xxx); or

     (iii) any representation, warranty or certification made or deemed made herein or in
any other Program Document by the Seller or any certificate furnished to the Purchaser
pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof shall prove to have been untrue or misleading
in any material respect as of the time made or furnished; provided however, a breach of any
representation and warranty set forth in Section 9(b) shall not give rise to a Servicing
Termination Event if the Deficient Mortgage Loan or Deficient Mortgage Pool and the related
Participation Certificate with respect to which such breach relates is repurchased by the
Seller in accordance with Sections 9(c) or 9(d), respectively; or

     (iv) the Seller shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement (and not identified in clause (ii) of Section 5(e)) or any other
Program Document, and if such failure to observe or perform shall be capable of being
remedied, and such failure to observe or perform shall continue unremedied for a period of
five (5) Business Days; or

     (v) one or more final judgment(s) or decrees shall be entered against PHH Parent,
Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries (other than the PHH Home Loans Entities) involving a
liability of (A) with respect to PHH Parent, $25,000,000 or more and (B) with

-25-

 

respect to Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries, $10,000,000 or more (in each case,
to the extent that it is, in the reasonable determination of Purchaser, uninsured and
provided that any insurance or other credit posted in connection with an appeal shall not be
deemed insurance for these purposes), and the same shall not be satisfied, discharged (or
provision shall not be made for such discharge) or bonded, or a stay of execution thereof
shall not be procured, within 30 days from the date of entry thereof, and the Seller, any of
Seller’s Subsidiaries or PHH Parent shall not, within said period of 30 days, or such longer
period during which execution of the same shall have been stayed or bonded; or

     (vi) an Event of Insolvency with respect to clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) shall have
occurred with respect to Seller, any of Seller’s Subsidiaries (other than the PHH Home Loans
Entities), PHH Parent or any of PHH Parent’s Material Subsidiaries; or an Event of
Insolvency pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof, shall have occurred with
respect to Seller or PHH Parent; or

     (vii) (A) any Program Document shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be
in full force and effect in all material respects or shall not be enforceable in all
material respects in accordance with its terms, (B) any sale effected or Lien granted
pursuant thereto shall fail to be perfected and of first priority (other than as a result of
the action or inaction that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Purchaser and as long as Seller shall cure such failure within one (1) Business Day) or (C)
the Seller shall grant, or suffer to exist, any Lien on any Participation Certificate or
Mortgage Loan (except any Lien in favor of the Purchaser); or

     (viii) any Person (other than Purchaser) shall contest the validity, enforceability,
perfection or priority of any sale effected or Lien granted pursuant thereto, or any party
thereto (other than Purchaser) shall seek to disaffirm, terminate, limit or reduce its
Obligations hereunder; or

Rate Protection Agreements of PHH Parent, Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries (other than
Securitization Indebtedness) where the amount or amounts of such Indebtedness or Interest
Rate Protection Agreements exceeds (A) with respect to PHH Parent, $25,000,000 (or its
equivalent thereof in any other currency) in the aggregate and (B) with respect to Seller or
any of Seller’s Subsidiaries, $10,000,000 (or its equivalent thereof in any other currency)

circumstance shall arise (other than the mere passage of time) by reason of which of PHH
Parent, Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries is required to redeem or repurchase, or offer
to holders the opportunity to

-26-

 

have redeemed or repurchased, any such Indebtedness or Interest Rate Protection

Parent, Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries or with respect to any Indebtedness that is
convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of capital stock of PHH Parent and/or cash
based on any formula(s) that reference the trading price of shares of capital stock of PHH

and provided, further, that clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not apply to any Indebtedness or
Interest Rate Protection Agreement of any of Seller’s Subsidiaries issued and outstanding
prior to the date such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of Seller (other than Indebtedness or
Interest Rate Protection Agreement issued in connection with, or in anticipation of, such
Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary of Seller) if such default or circumstance arises solely as
a result of a “change of control” provision applicable to such Indebtedness or Interest Rate
Protection Agreement which becomes operative as a result of the acquisition of such
Subsidiary by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; or

     (x) a Material Adverse Effect shall occur; or

     (xi) (A) Seller shall engage in any non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in

lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan shall arise on the assets of the Seller or any ERISA
Affiliate, (C) a Reportable Event shall occur with respect to, or proceedings shall commence
to have a trustee appointed, or a trustee shall be appointed, to administer or to terminate,

above, such event or condition, together with all other such events or conditions, if any,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

     (xii) Reserved; or

     (xiii) Seller’s audited financial statements or notes thereto or other opinions or

Seller as a “going concern” or reference of similar import; or

-27-

 

     (xiv) A Change of Control shall occur, without prior written consent of Purchaser;

     (xv) Seller ceases to meet the qualifications for maintaining all Agency Approvals,
provided that, there shall not be a Servicing Termination Event under this
Section 5(e)(xv) in the event that Seller intentionally terminates its Agency

expressing its intention to terminate such Agency Approval), so long as Seller maintains the
approvals from the applicable Agency or HUD designation to be (i) either a Fannie
Mae-approved lender or a Freddie Mac-approved Seller/Servicer and (ii) a GNMA-approved
issuer, a GNMA-approved servicer, an FHA-approved mortgagee and a VA-approved lender; or

     (xvi) Reserved; or

given to or by Purchaser or Seller, and each and every other case, so long as the Servicing
Termination Event shall not have been remedied (but only to the extent, and within the time period,
of any remedy period provided above), in addition to whatever rights Purchaser may have at law or
equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, by notice in writing to
Seller, (i) any commitment of Purchaser to purchase Mortgage Loans under this Agreement shall
immediately cease and Purchaser thereafter may in its sole discretion determine whether to purchase
Mortgage Loans; (ii) Purchaser may terminate all the obligations of Seller under this Agreement and
all Outstanding Transactions and (iii) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the related Servicing
Files. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to provide Seller with concurrent notice of
Purchaser’s exercise of remedies hereunder, provided that failure to do so shall not invalidate the
rights or remedies available to Purchase hereunder.

          Upon receipt by Seller of a written notice from Purchaser delivered in accordance with Section
6, terminating Seller’s servicing under this Agreement, all authority and power of Seller
respecting its mortgage servicing duties under this Agreement and any affected Transactions, shall

Servicer”). Upon written request by Purchaser, Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver to
the Designated Servicer any and all documents and other instruments, place in such successor’s
possession all Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, and do or cause to be done all other acts or

          Section 6. Seller Covenants Regarding Transfer of Servicing.

          In the event Purchaser gives notice to Seller of Purchaser’s intention to transfer servicing
to the Designated Servicer upon the occurrence of any Servicing Termination Event, expiration or
earlier termination of the Servicing Period (“Servicing Termination Date”), then, in each
such case, Seller’s right to service the Mortgage Loans shall immediately terminate on such
Servicing Termination Date and Seller agrees at its sole expense to take all reasonable and
customary actions, to assist Purchaser, Custodian and Designated Servicer in effectuating and
evidencing transfer of servicing to the Designated Servicer in compliance with Applicable Law as
promptly as possible but in no event later than 60 days following the Servicing Termination Date
(such date of transfer, the “Servicing Transfer Date”) , including:

          (a) Notice to Mortgagors. Seller shall mail to the mortgagor of each Mortgage Loan,
by such date as may be required by law, a letter advising the mortgagor of the transfer of the
servicing thereof to the Designated Servicer. Seller shall promptly provide the Designated
Servicer with copies of all such letters. Purchaser shall cause the Designated Servicer to mail a
letter to each such mortgagor advising such mortgagor that the Designated Servicer is the new
servicer of the related Mortgage Loan. Such letters shall be mailed by such date as may be
required by Applicable Law.

          (b) Notice to Taxing Authorities, Insurance Companies and HUD (if applicable). Seller
shall transmit or cause to transmit to the applicable taxing authorities and insurance companies
(including primary mortgage insurers, if applicable) and/or agents, not less than fifteen (15) days
prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, notification of the transfer of the servicing to the
Designated Servicer and instructions to deliver all notices, tax bills and insurance statements, as
the case may be, to the Designated Servicer from and after the Servicing Transfer Date. Seller
shall promptly provide the Designated Servicer with copies of all such notices. With respect to
any FHA-insured/VA guaranteed Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool in addition to the requirements
set forth above, Seller shall provide notice to HUD on such forms prescribed by HUD, or to the VA,
as applicable respecting the transfer of insurance credits, as the case may be. Seller shall be
obligated to pay all mortgage insurance premiums with respect to FHA/VA Mortgage Loans until such
notice is received by HUD or the VA, as applicable.

          (c) Assignment and Endorsements. At Purchaser’s (or Designated Servicer’s) direction
and in Purchaser’s sole discretion, Seller shall, at its own cost and expense, prepare and/or
complete endorsements to Mortgage Notes and assignments of Mortgages (including any interim
endorsements or assignments) prior to the Servicing Transfer Date.

          (d) Delivery of Servicing Records. Seller shall forward to the Designated Servicer,
not more than thirty (30) days after the Servicing Transfer Date, all Servicing Files, Mortgage
Files and any other Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s possession relating to each Mortgage Loan.

Servicing Transfer Date with immediately available funds by wire transfer in the amount of the net
Escrow Payments and suspense balances and all loss draft balances associated with the Mortgage
Loans in an affected Mortgage Pool. Seller shall provide the Designated Servicer on or before the
Servicing Transfer Date with an accounting statement of Escrow Payments and suspense balances and
loss draft balances sufficient to enable the Designated Servicer to

-29-

 

reconcile the amount of such payment with the accounts of the Mortgage Loans in the affected
Mortgage Pool. Additionally, Seller shall wire to the Designated Servicer on or before the
Servicing Transfer Date the amount of any agency, trustee or prepaid Mortgage Loan payments and all
other similar amounts held by Seller.

          (f) Payoffs and Assumptions. Seller shall provide to the Designated Servicer, on or
before the Servicing Transfer Date, copies of all assumption and payoff statements generated by
Seller, on the Mortgage Loans.

          (g) Mortgage Payments Received Prior to Servicing Transfer Date. Seller shall forward
by wire transfer, on or before the Servicing Transfer Date, all payments received by Seller on each
Mortgage Loan in the affected Mortgage Pools prior to the Servicing Transfer Date to Purchaser.

          (h) Mortgage Payments Received After Servicing Transfer Date. Seller shall forward
the amount of any monthly payments received by Seller after the Servicing Transfer Date to the
Designated Servicer by overnight mail within two (2) Business Days of the date of receipt. Seller
shall notify the Designated Servicer of the particulars of the payment, which notification
requirement shall be satisfied (except with respect to Mortgage Loans then in foreclosure or
bankruptcy) if Seller forwards with its payments sufficient information to the Designated Servicer.

          (i) Reconciliation. Not less than five (5) days prior to the Servicing Transfer Date,
Seller shall reconcile principal balances and make any monetary adjustments reasonably required by
the Designated Servicer. Any such monetary adjustments will be transferred between Seller and the
Designated Servicer, as appropriate.

          (j) IRS Forms. Seller shall timely file all IRS forms which are required to be filed
in relation to the servicing and ownership of the Mortgage Loans. Seller shall provide copies of
such forms to the Designated Servicer upon request and shall reimburse the Designated Servicer for
any costs or penalties incurred by the Designated Servicer due to Seller’s failure to comply with
this paragraph.

          Seller shall have no obligations with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans after the
Servicing Transfer Date other than as specifically set forth in this Section 6 and other reasonable
and customary action taken by servicers when transferring servicing.

          In the event Seller fails to perform any of its obligations described in paragraph (a) through
(j) above within the time periods specified therein, Purchaser may take, or cause to be taken, at
Seller’s expense, any of the actions described therein.

          Section 7. Intent of Parties; Security Interest.

          (a) From and after the issuance of the related Participation Certificate, the record title of
Seller to each Mortgage Loan is retained by Seller in trust, for the sole purpose of facilitating
the servicing of such Mortgage Loan, and all Collections received on or in connection with such
Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Custodial Account and held by Seller in trust

-30-

 

for the benefit of the registered holder of the related Participation Certificate and shall be
disbursed only in accordance with this Agreement.

          (b) The sale of a participation in each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on Seller’s balance
sheet and other financial statements as a sale of assets by Seller. Seller shall be responsible
for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for each Mortgage Loan and
the electronic copies thereof shall be clearly marked to reflect the ownership of each Mortgage
Loan by the registered holder of the related Participation Certificate.

          (c) Purchaser and Seller confirm that each of the Transactions contemplated herein are
purchases and sales and are not loan transactions. In the event, for any reason, that any
Transaction is deemed by any court or regulatory authority, as a result of a change of law or
otherwise, not to be a purchase and sale of the relevant Participation Certificate, then: the
parties understand and intend that this Agreement and each Transaction constitute a “securities
contract” as that term is defined in § 741(7) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In addition to
the foregoing, (x) Seller hereby pledges to Purchaser as security for the performance by Seller of
its Obligations under this Agreement and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Purchaser a fully
perfected first priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account, the Agency
Security to be issued as originally contemplated hereunder or right to receive such Agency Security
when issued and the Takeout Commitments (and assignments thereof), together with the Mortgage
Files, Mortgage Loan Documents and Pooling Documents and any other contract rights, accounts
(including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment
(including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the
foregoing relates to any Mortgage Loan; and any other assets relating to the Mortgage Loans
(including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Mortgage Loans and all
products and proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Basic
Collateral”); (y) possession of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Pooling Documents and any other
documentation relating to the Mortgage Pool or the Agency Security by Custodian or by Seller shall
constitute constructive possession by Purchaser; and (z) Purchaser shall have all the rights of a
secured party pursuant to Applicable Law, and for such purposes this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement.

          (d) In the event that the servicing of the Mortgage Loans is deemed a separate property right
severable from the Mortgage Loans and Participation Certificates, and in any event, Seller and
Purchaser intend that Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, shall have, and the Seller
hereby grants and pledges to Purchaser or its Assignee a perfected first priority security interest
in Seller’s right, title and interest in the servicing rights, if any, to the Mortgage Loans and
the Servicing Files related thereto and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing in all
instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created
(“Additional Collateral”; together with the Basic Collateral, the “Collateral”)
free and clear of adverse claims.

creditors. The Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) and
the transfer and sale of the Participation Certificates pursuant hereto (i) will not cause
Seller to become insolvent, (ii) will not result in any property remaining with the Seller
to be unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond
the Seller’s ability to pay as same mature. The Seller received reasonably equivalent value
in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Participation Certificates subject hereto.

     (iv) No Broker. The Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker,
agent, or other person, except for the Purchaser, who may be entitled to any commission or

requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or
as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(c) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which
the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary,

-33-

 

except where failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually

for the previous year. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly
present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Seller and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations as at such
dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis. Since June 30, 2010, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated
business, operations or financial condition of the Seller and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements nor is the Seller aware of
any state of facts which (without notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any
such material adverse change. The Seller does not have, on the date of the statements
delivered pursuant to this section (the “Statement Date”) any liabilities, direct or

taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or
reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements.

     (viii) No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Program

into by the Seller in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or
result in (x) a breach of the articles of incorporation or by-laws with respect to the
Seller, or (y) a material breach of any Applicable Law, rule or regulation, or any order,
writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or other material agreement or
instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of its Property is bound or
to which any of them is subject, or constitute a Potential Servicing Termination Event under
any such material agreement or instrument or result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Program Documents) upon any Property of
the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or
instrument. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the
ordinary course of business of Seller.

Seller, there are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations (including, without
limitation, any of the foregoing which are threatened or pending) or other legal or
arbitrable proceedings affecting Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of the
Property of any of them before any Governmental Authority that (i) questions or challenges

connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) makes a claim individually in an
amount greater than $10,000,000 or in an aggregate amount greater than $25,000,000, or (iii)

Certificate to the Purchaser, the Seller was the sole owner of such Mortgage Loan and had

writing furnished to the Purchaser for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.

     (xxiii) ERISA.

the Seller to be incurred by the Seller or any ERISA Affiliate thereof with
respect to any Plan which is a Single-Employer Plan in an amount that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-36-

 

(B) No Plan which is a Single-Employer Plan failed to meet the minimum funding standard
under Section 412 of the Code, whether or not waived, as of the last day of the most recent
fiscal year of such Plan ended prior to the date hereof. Neither the Seller nor any ERISA
Affiliate thereof is (i) required to give security to any Plan which is a Single-Employer

requirements for maintaining all such Agency Approvals or require notification to the
relevant Agency or to HUD, FHA or VA. Seller has adequate financial standing, servicing
facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the servicing of mortgage
loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans in accordance

correct in all material respects; and except as may be expressly and previously disclosed to
Purchaser or modified in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Seller has not

Loan Representations.

          (c) If any Mortgage Loan is a Deficient Mortgage Loan on the Purchase Date of the related
Participation Certificate, Purchaser in its sole discretion may require Seller, upon receipt of
notice from Purchaser of its exercise of such right, to either (x) immediately repurchase
Purchaser’s beneficial ownership interest in such Deficient Mortgage Loan by remitting to Purchaser
the allocable amount paid by Purchaser for such beneficial interest plus accrued interest on a per
annum basis at the rate specified in the related Mortgage Note on the principal amount thereof from
the Purchase Date of such Participation Certificate to the date of such repurchase together with
any Losses suffered by Purchaser relating to such repurchase (including, without limitation, any
Losses incurred by Purchaser resulting from adjustments to the trade required by the Takeout
Buyer), or (y) deliver to Custodian a Mortgage Loan eligible to back such Agency Security in
exchange for such Deficient Mortgage Loan, which newly delivered Mortgage Loan shall be in all
respects acceptable under the applicable Agency Program and acceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser’s
sole discretion, and (i) such newly delivered Mortgage Loan will thereupon become one of the
Mortgage Loans relating to the Participation Certificate and (ii) the Deficient Mortgage Loan will
thereupon cease being one of the Mortgage Loans, cease being subject to the Participation
Certificate and the Seller shall be deemed to have repurchased 100% of the beneficial ownership
interest in such Deficient Mortgage Loan. If the aggregate principal balance of any Mortgage Loans
that are accepted by Purchaser pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence is less
than the aggregate principal balance of any Deficient Mortgage Loan that is being replaced by such
Mortgage Loan, Seller shall remit with such Mortgage Loan to Purchaser an amount equal to the
difference between the aggregate principal balance of the new Mortgage Loan accepted by Purchaser
and the aggregate principal balance of the Deficient Mortgage Loan being replaced thereby (the
“Replacement Shortfall”) plus accrued interest on such Deficient Mortgage Loan at the rate
specified in the related Mortgage Note on the Replacement Shortfall from the Purchase Date of
Purchaser’s purchase of the related Participation Certificate to the date of substitution. If the
Purchase Price of any Mortgage Loan that is accepted by Purchaser pursuant to clause (y) of the
second preceding sentence is greater than the Purchase Price of any Deficient Mortgage Loan that is
being replaced by such Mortgage Loan, Purchaser shall remit to Seller an amount equal to the
difference between the Purchase Price of the new Mortgage Loan accepted by Purchaser and the
Purchase Price of the Deficient Mortgage Loan being replaced thereby.

          (d) If any Mortgage Pool is a Deficient Mortgage Pool on the Purchase Date of the related
Participation Certificate, Seller shall, upon the earlier to occur of knowledge and receipt of
notice from Purchaser immediately repurchase Purchaser’s beneficial ownership interest in such
Deficient Mortgage Pool and the related Participation Certificate by remitting to

-39-

 

Purchaser the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser for such beneficial interest plus accrued interest at the
Participation Certificate Pass-Through Rate from the Purchase Date of such Participation
Certificate to the date of such repurchase together with any Losses suffered by Purchaser relating
to such repurchase (including, without limitation, any Losses incurred by Purchaser resulting from
adjustments to the trade required by the Takeout Buyer).

          (e) At the time of repurchase by Seller pursuant to Sections 9(c) or 9(d), the Purchaser and
the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deficient Mortgage Loan or the Deficient
Mortgage Pool to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian
relating to the Deficient Mortgage Loan or the Deficient Mortgage Pool. In the event of a
repurchase by Seller pursuant to Sections 9(c) or 9(d), (i) the Seller shall, simultaneously with
such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that such repurchase has taken place and
amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deficient Mortgage Loan or the
Deficient Mortgage Pool from this Agreement and (ii) Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller the
repurchased Deficient Mortgage Loan or Deficient Mortgage Pool, as applicable, and the related
Participation Certificate.

          (f) The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive transfer of
the Participation Certificates to Purchaser and shall continue for so long as the Participation
Certificates are subject to this Agreement. Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or
arising out of a material breach of any of the representations and warranties made in this Section
9 shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Pool upon (i) discovery of such material breach
by the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the Seller to
cure such material breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Pool as specified above, and
(iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement.

          Section 18. Confidentiality.

          (a) Seller and Purchaser each acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement
including, without limitation, the financial terms contained in the related Participation

provided to it by Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Agreement or any other Program
Document that is designated by such Person as confidential and such information shall not be
disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Purchaser except for (i) disclosure to

rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body, (iii) disclosure to the extent
necessary to obtain any Takeout Commitment hereunder, (iv) any disclosures or filing required under

reasonable actions to provide Purchaser with prior written notice.

          (b) Purchaser agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by Seller
or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Agreement or any other Program Document that is designated

disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or regulatory body, (iv) any
disclosures or filing required under SEC or state securities’ laws; (v) disclosure in connection
with the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) to the extent to such
confidential information is in the public domain other than due to a breach of this Section 18 or
(vii) such other circumstances as are reasonably within the discretion of a public company in order
to meet its corporate obligations; provided that in the case of (iv) and (vii) Purchaser shall take
reasonable actions to provide Seller with prior written notice.

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

Seller which Purchaser holds, (ii) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and
integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (iii) protect against any unauthorized access
to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Purchaser represents and warrants that it has
implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the
applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Purchaser shall
notify Seller timely following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security,
confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers, consumers and
Mortgagors of Seller provided directly to the Purchaser by Seller. Purchaser shall provide such
notice to Seller in accordance with Section 16 hereof.

          Section 19. Acknowledgments.

          Seller hereby acknowledges that:

          (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Agreement
and the Custodial Agreement;

          (b) Seller has no fiduciary relationship to Purchaser, and the relationship between Seller and
Purchaser is solely that of seller and purchaser; and

          (c) no joint venture exists between Seller and Purchaser.

          Section 20. Authorizations. Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule I
are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, under this
Agreement.

-52-

 

          Section 21. Set-Off. If any Servicing Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing,
Purchaser is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held by Purchaser and any other indebtedness at any time owing by
Purchaser to, or for the credit or the account of, the Seller, against any of and all the
Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not
Purchaser shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be
unmatured. Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Seller after any such setoff and application
made by Purchaser, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff
and application. The rights of Purchaser under this Section 21 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Purchaser may have.

          Section 22. Refund of Program Fee.

          (a) If an event described in Section 8(b)(ix) occurs and Purchaser shall determine based on
such event, whether pursuant to such event being classified as a condition precedent to a
Transaction or otherwise, to no longer enter into future Transactions, Purchaser shall remit to
Seller the pro rata portion of the Program Fee paid by Seller from such date through the Commitment
Termination Date.

          (b) If an event described in Section 23 occurs and Seller shall determine, solely based on
such event and in its sole discretion, to no longer enter into future Transactions as a result of
such increased costs, Purchaser shall remit to Seller the pro rata portion of the Program Fee paid
by Seller from such date through the Commitment Termination Date.

          Section 23. Increased Costs.

          If Purchaser determines (a) that any change or development involving a prospective change in
taxation or other Applicable Law or regulation or interpretation thereof in the United States
directly affecting the Participation Certificates or the consequences of Purchaser owning, or
holding a security interest in, the Participation Certificates; (b) that the imposition of exchange
controls by the United States, that directly affects the Participation Certificates or the
consequences of Purchaser owning, or holding a security interest in, the Participation
Certificates; or (c) that the imposition of exchange controls by the United States, that directly
affects the financial markets of the United States, in each case made subsequent to the date hereof
(i) subjects Purchaser to any tax of any kind whatsoever (excluding income taxes, branch profits
taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the net income of the Purchaser by the United
States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Purchaser is organized or of its
applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof unless such taxes are imposed
solely as a result of Purchaser having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received
payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Program Documents) with respect to
this Agreement, any Mortgage Loans or Participation Certificates, or changes the basis or rate of
taxation of payments to Purchaser in respect thereof, (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable
any reserve, special deposit, compulsory advance or similar requirement against assets held by
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of Transactions or extensions of credit by, or
any other acquisition of funds by any office of

-53-

 

Purchaser which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Discount Rate hereunder,
or (iii) imposes on Purchaser any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to
Purchaser, by an amount which Purchaser deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining purchases
hereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case,
Seller shall promptly pay Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Purchaser
for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred on an after-tax basis.

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

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of September 2, 2010 (this “Agreement”),
is entered into by and between Furniture Brands International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and EVERCORE TRUST COMPANY, N.A., solely in its capacity as duly appointed and
acting investment manager (the “Manager”) of a segregated account held in the Furniture
Brands Master Pension Trust (the “Trust”) created under the Furniture Brands Retirement
Plan (the “Plan”).

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to contribute an aggregate of 4,132,200 shares of its common
stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), to the Trust (the “Contribution”), to be held
in a single segregated account (the “Segregated Account”) in the Trust (such contributed
shares, the “Registrable Shares”);

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, dated May 21, 2010, , among the
Manager, the Company and the Company’s Benefit Committee (the “Committee”) (the
“Investment Management Agreement”), the Manager has been appointed as a “fiduciary” of the
Trust, as defined in Section 3(21) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended, but only to the extent of the assets in the Segregated Account, with the authority to act
on behalf of the Trust with respect to all assets held in the Segregated Account;

     WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to grant certain registration rights with respect to the
Registrable Shares held in the Segregated Account, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Manager has full power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement for the benefit of the Trust and to take any
actions required or permitted to be taken in connection with this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises set forth herein, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     (1) Registration; Compliance with the Securities Act. The Company hereby agrees that,
to the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), it shall:

     (a) prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Contribution,
but in no event more than five (5) business days after the Contribution, a registration statement
on Form S-3 for the purpose of registering for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), all of the Registrable Shares by the Trust, as the selling
stockholder thereunder (such registration statement (including any replacement or substitute
registration statement), including all amendments (including any post-effective amendments) or
supplements thereto, the prospectus contained therein or deemed to be a part thereof and any
documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Registration Statement”), to enable the
Manager to direct the Trust to offer and sell any or all of the Registrable Shares on a

 

 

delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and in the manner
contemplated by the plan of distribution set forth in the Registration Statement;

     (b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement, to become
effective as promptly as reasonably possible after filing and to remain continuously effective
until the earliest of (i) the date on which all Registrable Shares have been sold, (ii) the date on
which all Registrable Shares may be sold by the Trust to the public in accordance with Rule 144
under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (as such rule may be amended from time to
time, “Rule 144”) and when no conditions of Rule 144 are then applicable to the Trust
(other than the holding period requirement in paragraph (d) of Rule 144, so long as such holding
period requirement is satisfied at such time of determination) and (iii) the date that is 90 days
after the date on which the number of Registrable Shares held by the Trust is less than one percent
of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding (the period from the date of effectiveness until
such earliest date, the “Registration Period”); provided that the Company shall not
be required to file the Registration Statement or cause the Registration Statement to become
effective during any suspension period pursuant to Section 2(c) or (d) below;

     (c) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus relating thereto filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or, if no such filing is required, as included in
the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement effective at all times until the end of the Registration Period; provided that
the Company shall not be required to file any such amendment or supplement during any suspension
period pursuant to Section 2(c) or (d) below;

     (d) furnish the Manager with such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus, in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Manager may reasonably
request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the
Registrable Shares by the Trust;

     (e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file any documents necessary to register or
qualify the Registrable Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
Manager shall reasonably designate in writing based on advice of its legal counsel;
provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or
other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so
subject;

     (f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Shares to be listed on
the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the date
of the Contribution; and

     (g) bear all expenses in connection with the actions contemplated by paragraphs (a) through
(f) of this Section 1 and the registration for sale of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the
Registration Statement, including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Manager
incurred in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Shares, but excluding

2

 

underwriting discounts, brokerage fees, commissions and transfer taxes incurred by the
Manager, the Trust or the Plan, if any.

     It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action
pursuant to this Section 1 that the Manager shall provide such reasonable assistance to the Company
and furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Company in writing such information regarding the
Manager, the Registrable Shares to be sold and the intended method or methods of disposition of the
Registrable Shares as shall be necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares and
as may be required from time to time under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.

     (2) Transfer of Registrable Shares after Registration; Suspension.

     (a) The Manager agrees that (i) it will not (x) offer to sell or make any sale, assignment,
pledge, hypothecation or other transfer with respect to the Registrable Shares that would
constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or (y) direct the Trust to offer to sell
or make any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer with respect to the
Registrable Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, except,
in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), pursuant to either the Registration Statement or Rule
144, and (ii) it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in
the Registration Statement regarding the Manager or the intended plan of distribution of the
Registrable Shares.

     (b) The Manager and the Company agree that the Registrable Shares may be sold in one or more
privately-negotiated block trades; provided that (i) no such block trade may exceed two
percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, and (ii) the Manager will
not enter into a privately-negotiated block trade with any person that the Manager knows holds more
than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

     (c) In addition to any suspension rights under Section 2(d) below, the Company may, upon the
happening of any event or the existence of any state of facts that, in the judgment of an executive
officer of the Company or the Company’s legal counsel, renders advisable the suspension of the
disposition of Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement or the use of the
Prospectus or any supplement thereto due to pending transactions or other corporate developments,
public filings with the SEC or similar events, suspend the disposition of Registrable Shares
covered by the Registration Statement and the use of such Prospectus or any supplement thereto for
a period of not more than 120 days upon written notice (a “Suspension Event Notice”) to the
Manager (which Suspension Event Notice will not disclose the content of any material non-public
information and will indicate the dates of the beginning and the end of the intended suspension, if
known), in which case the Manager, upon receipt of such Suspension Event Notice, shall discontinue,
and shall cause the Trust to discontinue, disposition of Registrable Shares covered by the
Registration Statement and the use of any applicable Prospectus or any supplement thereto (an
“Event Suspension”) until copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus are distributed to
the Manager or until the Manager is advised in writing by the Company that the disposition of
Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement or the use of the Prospectus or supplement
thereto may be resumed; provided that such right to

3

 

suspend the disposition of Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement or the use
of the Prospectus or supplement thereto shall not be exercised by the Company for more than 120
days in any 12-month period. Any Event Suspension and Suspension Event Notice described in this
Section 2(c) shall be held in confidence and not disclosed by the Manager, except as required by
law.

     (d) Subject to Section 2(g) below, in the event of: (i) any request by the SEC or any other
federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement
or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other
federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, including the receipt
by the Company of any notice of objection of the SEC to the use of the Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act; (iii) the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; or (iv) any event or circumstance that necessitates
the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the
Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and that, in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
in each case, during the Registration Period, then the Company shall deliver a certificate in
writing to the Manager (a “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing (which
Suspension Notice will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and will
indicate the dates of the beginning and the end of the intended suspension, if known) and, upon
receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Manager shall refrain, and shall cause the Trust to refrain,
from selling any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or using the Prospectus
or any supplement thereto (a “Suspension”) until the Manager has received copies of a
supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until the Manager is
advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus or supplement thereto may be used.
In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the availability for use of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus to be resumed as soon as
reasonably possible after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Manager. Any Suspension and
Suspension Notice described in this Section 2(d) shall be held in confidence and not disclosed by
the Manager, except as required by law.

     (e) In order to enforce the covenants of the Manager set forth in Sections 2(c) and (d) above,
the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the sale of Registrable Shares by
the Trust until the end of the applicable suspension period.

     (f) If so directed by the Company, the Manager shall deliver to the Company all physical
copies of the Prospectus and any supplements thereto in its possession at the time of receipt by
the Manager of any Suspension Event Notice or Suspension Notice.

4

 

     (g) The Manager may sell Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement; provided
that (i) neither a Suspension nor an Event Suspension is then in effect, (ii) the Manager sells in
accordance with the plan of distribution in the Prospectus and (iii) the Manager arranges for
delivery of a current Prospectus (as supplemented) to any transferee receiving such Registrable
Shares in compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

     (3) Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 3, the term “Registration
Statement” shall include any preliminary or final Prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment
included in or relating to the Registration Statement defined in Section 1(a).

     (a) Indemnification by the Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Company agrees to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Manager (including, for purposes of this
Section 3, the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Manager), and each person, if any,
who controls the Manager within the meaning of either Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Manager
Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint
or several (each, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”), to which any Manager
Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or
state law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation,
if such, and only if such, settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), only to the extent such Losses (or actions
in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (A) any failure on the
part of the Company to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or (B)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each Manager
Indemnitee for any reasonable legal fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as such
expenses are incurred by such Manager Indemnitee in connection with investigating, defending,
settling, compromising or paying any such Loss or action; provided that the Company will
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon (1)
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and
in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Manager, (2) any untrue
statement or omission of a material fact required to make such statement not misleading in the
Prospectus that is corrected in an amended or supplemented Prospectus that was delivered to the
Manager before the pertinent sale or sales by the Manager or (3) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto, when used or distributed by the Manager during a period in
which an Event Suspension or Suspension is properly in effect under Section 2(c) or (d). The
Manager hereby agrees that if the Manager or any of its controlling persons is not entitled to
indemnification for any Loss pursuant to this Section 3(a) as a result of clause (1), (2) or (3)
above, then none of the Manager Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for such Loss
pursuant to the terms of the indemnification provisions set forth in

5

 

the Investment Management Agreement or that certain engagement letter dated July 22, 2010, among the Company,
the Manager and the Committee.

     (b) Indemnification by the Manager. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Manager will (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Committee, each director of the
Company, each member of the Committee, each of the Company’s officers who signed the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (the “Company Indemnitees”), from
and against any and all Losses to which any Company Indemnitee may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state law or regulation, or at common law
or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the
written consent of the Manager, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), only
to the extent such Losses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are
based upon (A) any failure on the part of the Manager to comply with the covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of the Registrable Shares or (B) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of the Prospectus or any supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made) not misleading; provided that the Manager will be liable in any such case
only to the extent that any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by or on behalf of the Manager, and (ii) reimburse such Company Indemnitee for any
reasonable legal fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as such expenses are incurred by
such Company Indemnitee in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or
paying any such Loss or action. In no event shall the liability of the Manager under this Section
3 be greater than the aggregate fees received by the Manager pursuant to the Investment Management
Agreement unless such Loss arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager.

     (c) Indemnification Procedure. (i) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under this Section 3 of written notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party
under this Section 3, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim;
provided that the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 3 or otherwise, to the extent that the indemnifying
party is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. Each indemnified party shall furnish such
information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably
request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim.

     (ii) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such
indemnified party notifies an indemnifying party thereof and seeks or intends to seek
indemnity from such indemnifying party, such indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in, and to the extent that it may determine, jointly with all other indemnifying

6

 

parties similarly notified, to assume, the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that, if the defendants in any such
action include both such indemnified party and such indemnifying party and such indemnified
party’s legal counsel shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict between its
position and the position of such indemnifying party with respect to the conduct of the
defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it that are
different from or additional to those available to such indemnifying party, in each case,
such indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party. Upon receipt of notice from such indemnifying party of its election so
to assume the defense of such action and approval by such indemnified party of such
indemnifying party’s counsel (whose approval cannot be unreasonably withheld), such
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 3 for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
the defense of such action; provided that the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel of such indemnified party shall be at the expense of such indemnifying party if (A)
such indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of
legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood
that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate
counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties who are parties to
such action) or (B) such indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
time after notice of commencement of the action.

     (d) Contribution. (i) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any
Loss referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
indemnifying party on the one hand and of such indemnified party on the other hand in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Loss, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and of such indemnified
party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(c) hereof, any
legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any
investigation or proceeding.

     (ii) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 3(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by
any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 3(d), in no event shall the Manager be required to contribute

7

 

any amount in excess of the aggregate fees received by the Manager pursuant to the
Investment Management Agreement unless such Loss arises out of or is based on the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Manager. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

     (e) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 3 are not
exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any
indemnified person at law or in equity.

     (f) Surviving Obligations. The obligations of the Company and the Manager under this
Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the completion of the disposition of
the Registrable Shares.

     (4) Rule 144 Information. For such period as the Trust or the Plan holds any
Registrable Shares received pursuant to the Contribution, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to file all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder and shall use its reasonable efforts to take such reasonable further action
to the extent required to enable the Manager to sell the Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144.

     (5) Rights of the Trust. All of the rights and benefits conferred on the Manager
pursuant to this Agreement (other than the right to indemnification provided in Section 3) are
intended to inure to the benefit of the Trust.

     (6) Miscellaneous.

     (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, irrespective of the choice of laws principles
of the State of New York, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect,
enforceability, performance and remedies.

     (b) Force Majeure. Neither party will have any liability for damages or delay due to
fire, explosion, lightning, pest damage, power failure or surges, strikes or labor disputes, water
or flood, acts of God, the elements, war, civil disturbances, acts of civil or military authorities
or the public enemy, acts or omissions of communications or other carriers or any other cause
beyond a party’s reasonable control (other than that which arises from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such party), whether or not similar to the foregoing, that prevent such party
from materially performing its obligations hereunder.

     (c) Entire Agreement; Modification; Waivers. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all
previous negotiations, commitments and writings with respect to the matters discussed herein. This
Agreement may not be altered, modified or amended except by a written instrument signed by both
parties. The failure of any party to require the performance or satisfaction of any term or
obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not
prevent subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent
breach.

8

 

     (d) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event
that any provision is deemed illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in
full force and effect, unless the deletion of any such illegal or unenforceable provision shall
cause this Agreement to become materially adverse to either party, in which event the parties shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to arrive at an accommodation that best preserves for the
parties the benefits and obligations of the offending provision.

     (e) Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided, any notice, request, demand or
other communication permitted or required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing,
shall be sent by one of the following means to the Company or the Manager at the addresses set
forth below (or to such other address as shall be designated hereunder by notice to the other
parties and persons receiving copies, effective upon actual receipt), and shall be deemed
conclusively to have been given (i) on the first business day following the day timely deposited

Mail, with the cost of delivery prepaid or for the account of the sender, (ii) on the fifth
business day following the day duly sent by certified or registered United States mail, postage
prepaid and return receipt requested, or (iii) when otherwise actually received by the addressee on
a business day (or on the next business day if received after the close of normal business hours or
on any non-business day).
