LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 18, 2014, by and between Bank of America, N.A.,
a national banking association (“Lender”), and Five Oaks Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.     Borrower wishes
to obtain financing for the acquisition from Lender of certain residential mortgage loans and/or other mortgage related assets
and interests, which assets shall secure the Advance to be made by Lender hereunder and Borrower’s obligations in respect
thereof.

 

B.      Lender has agreed,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make such Advance to Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual rights and obligations provided herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

 

		1.1	Defined Terms. As
used in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto, unless the context otherwise
requires. All such defined terms shall, unless specifically provided to the contrary, have the defined meanings set forth herein
when used in any other agreement, certificate or document made or delivered pursuant hereto.

 

		1.2	Interpretation; Principles of Construction.
The following rules of this Section 1.2 apply unless the context requires otherwise. A gender includes all genders. Where
a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning. A reference to a subsection, Section, Schedule
or Exhibit is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a section of, or schedule or exhibit to, this Agreement. A reference
to a party to this Agreement or another agreement or document includes the party’s successors and permitted substitutes or
assigns. A reference to an agreement or document (including any Loan Document) is to the agreement or document as amended, modified,
novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the extent prohibited thereby or by any Loan Document and in effect from time to time
in accordance with the terms thereof. A reference to legislation or to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment
of it, a legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory instrument issued under it. A reference to writing
includes a facsimile transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and permanently visible form. A reference to
conduct includes, without limitation, an omission, statement or undertaking, whether or not in writing. The words “hereof”,
“herein”, “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision
of this Agreement. The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation”. In the
computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and
including”, the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the word “through”
means “to and including”.

 

Except where otherwise provided
in this Agreement, any determination, consent, approval, statement or certificate made or confirmed in writing with notice to Borrower
by Lender or an authorized officer of Lender provided for in this Agreement is conclusive and binds the parties in the absence
of manifest error. A reference to an agreement includes a security interest, guarantee, agreement or legally enforceable arrangement
whether or not in writing related to such agreement.

 

    	1

    	 

    

 

A reference to a document includes
an agreement (as so defined) in writing or a certificate, notice, instrument or document, or any information recorded in electronic
form. Where Borrower is required to provide any document to Lender under the terms of this Agreement, the relevant document shall
be provided in writing or printed form unless Lender requests otherwise. At the request of Lender, the document shall be provided
in electronic form or both printed and electronic form.

 

This Agreement
is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by counsel to, Lender and Borrower, and is the product of all parties.
In the interpretation of this Agreement, no rule of construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such
party proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of this Agreement or this Agreement itself. Except
where otherwise expressly stated, Lender may give or withhold, or give conditionally, approvals and consents and may form opinions
and make determinations at its sole and absolute discretion. Any requirement of good faith, discretion or judgment by Lender shall
not be construed to require Lender to request or await receipt of information or documentation not immediately available from or
with respect to Borrower, a servicer of the Pledged Mortgage Loans, any other Person or the Pledged Mortgage Loans themselves.
All references herein or in any Loan Document to “good faith” means good faith as defined in Section 1-201(19) of the
Uniform Commercial Code.

 

ARTICLE 2

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCE

 

		2.1	Agreement to Make the Advance.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and
is continuing, contemporaneous with, or subsequent to and in connection with Borrower’s acquisition of Eligible Mortgage
Loans, and in order to facilitate the funding of such acquisition (including after such acquisition), Lender shall make certain
loans (the “Advance”) to Borrower; provided, however, that (a) the unpaid principal amount of the Advance as
of any date of determination shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Credit and (ii) the Collateral Value of the Pledged
Mortgage Loans calculated as of such date of determination and (b) the unpaid principal amount of the Advance for any Type shall
not exceed the applicable Type Sublimit. Lender shall have no obligation to enter into an Advance with an unpaid principal amount
greater than the Maximum Credit or make any other loan other than the Advance. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1
and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

 

		2.2	Note. 

 

		(a)	The Advance made by Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of Borrower substantially
in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Note”), dated as of the date hereof, payable to Lender in a principal
amount not to exceed the Maximum Credit as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed. Lender shall have the right to have
its Note subdivided, by exchange for promissory notes of lesser denominations or otherwise.

 

		(b)	The date, amount and interest rate of the Advance made by Lender to Borrower, and each payment
made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note, noted
by Lender on the grid attached to the Note or any continuation thereof; provided, that the failure of Lender to make any such recordation
or notation shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under the
Note in respect of the Advance.

  

    	2

    	 

    

 

		2.3	Advance Limits. The
Maximum Credit and each Type Sublimit shall be as set forth in the Loan Terms Letter.

 

		2.4	Description of Pledged Mortgage Loans.
With respect to the Advance, Borrower shall cause to be maintained with Lender the Pledged Mortgage Loans, which shall have a Collateral
Value not less than, at any date, the outstanding principal amount of the Advance. With respect to the Advance, the type of Pledged
Mortgage Loans shall be the Type as specified in the Loan Terms Letter as the Type. If there is uncertainty as to the Type of a
Pledged Mortgage Loan, Lender shall determine the correct Type for such Pledged Mortgage Loan.

 

		2.5	Use of Proceeds.
Borrower shall use the Advance solely for the purpose of acquiring and holding the Eligible Mortgage Loans from Lender (including
after the acquisition thereof).

 

		2.6	Interest.

 

		(a)	Interest. Borrower shall pay Lender interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the Advance (“Accrued Interest”) for the period from and including the Advance Date to but
excluding the date such Advance shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Interest Rate plus
the applicable Type Margin. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay to Lender Accrued Interest at a rate per annum equal
to the Default Rate (i) on any principal amount of the Advance and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder or under the
Note that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise),
for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full, and (ii) following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which interest shall accrue daily and shall be payable promptly upon
receipt of invoice. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Lender shall
give written notice thereof to Borrower. Accrued Interest will be calculated in accordance with this Section 2.6.

 

		(b)	Time for Payment. Accrued Interest with respect to the Advance
shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the Payment Date occurring in the month following the Advance Date and thereafter
on each subsequent Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. 

 

		(c)	Computations. All computations of interest and fees payable
hereunder shall be based upon the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the relevant
period, and a three-hundred sixty (360) day year.

 

		2.7	Terms and Conditions of Advance.
The terms and conditions of the Advance as set forth in the Loan Terms Letter, this Agreement, the Note or otherwise may be changed
from time to time by written agreement of Lender and Borrower. The terms and conditions of the Loan Terms Letter are hereby incorporated
and form a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein; provided however, to the extent of any conflict between
the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Loan Terms Letter, the Loan Terms Letter shall control.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

ARTICLE 3

PROCEDURES FOR MAKING THE ADVANCE

 

		3.1	Policies and Procedures.
In connection with the Advance contemplated hereunder, Borrower shall comply with all applicable policies and procedures of Lender
as may currently exist or as hereafter created. Such policies and procedures may be in writing, published on Lender’s website(s)
or otherwise contained in the Handbook. Lender shall have the right to change, revise, amend or supplement its policies and procedures
and the Handbook from time to time to conform to current legal requirements or Lender practices by giving prior notice to Borrower
of such changes, revisions, amendments or supplements. To the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of the Handbook, this Agreement shall control.

 

		3.2	Request for Advance.
To the extent not otherwise agreed to by the parties, Borrower shall request that Lender make the Advance by delivering written
notice of such request to Lender, no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the requested Advance
Date, which written notice will also approve the Asset Data Record for each Mortgage Loan intended to be the subject of the Advance.
Assuming the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Article 7 and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement,
Lender shall confirm to Borrower the terms of the Advance electronically or in writing. Lender reserves the right to reject the
Advance request if Lender determines it fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or Lender’s then
current policies and procedures.

 

		3.3	Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

		(a)	Mortgage Loans. Prior to the Advance, Borrower shall deliver,
or cause to be delivered, the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Lender or its Custodian in accordance with and pursuant to the
terms of Section 7.1 hereof and the Custodial Agreement (if any).

 

		(b)	Mortgage Loan Documents in Borrower’s Possession. At
all times during which the Mortgage Loan Documents related to any Pledged Mortgage Loan are in the possession of Borrower, and
until Lender releases its security interest in such Pledged Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall hold such Mortgage Loan Documents in
trust separate and apart from Borrower’s own documents and assets and for the exclusive benefit of Lender and shall act only
in accordance with Lender’s written instructions thereto. 

 

		3.4	Payment of Advance.
On the Advance Date, Lender shall make the Advance by wire transfer in accordance with Borrower’s wire instructions set forth
on Exhibit G (or such other wire instructions as directed by Borrower in writing). Any funds disbursed by Lender to Borrower
shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, regulations and policies of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Reduction of Payments System Risk. Borrower acknowledges that as a result of
such applicable laws, regulations and policies, equipment malfunction, Lender’s approval procedures or circumstances beyond
the reasonable control of Lender, the payment of an Advance may be delayed. 

 

ARTICLE 4

REPAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS

 

		4.1	Repayment.

 

		(a)	Repayment of Advance. Borrower shall repay in full the then
outstanding principal amount of the Advance (as evidenced by the Note) all unpaid Accrued Interest and all other Secured Obligations
then due and owing by wire transfer in accordance with Lender’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit G (or such
other wire instructions as directed by Lender in writing) on the Termination Date. Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Prepayment
Event with respect to a Pledged Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall remit to Lender the Release Amount for such Pledged Mortgage Loan.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

		(b)	Effect of Payment of Repayment of the Advance. On any such
date of repayment in full of the Advance (or allocable portion thereof) and all other Secured Obligations then due and owing as
set forth in Section 4.1 of this Agreement, Lender shall have released all of its rights, title and interests in the Pledged
Mortgage Loans (or the applicable Pledged Mortgage Loans, as the case may be); provided that, in no event shall Lender
be deemed to have released any such rights, title or interests if an Event of Default shall then be continuing or shall be caused
by such release or if such release gives rise to or perpetuates a Borrowing Base Deficiency that is not satisfied in accordance
with Section 6.11(b). Borrower is obligated to obtain the related Mortgage Loan Documents from the Custodian at Borrower’s
expense on the date of any such release.

 

		(c)	Partial Prepayment Due to Borrowing Base Deficiency. In the
event the Collateral Value of any Pledged Mortgage Loan is marked to zero and Borrower requests Lender to release its security
interest in such Pledged Mortgage Loan or any Collateral related thereto, Lender shall not release any such security interest therein
unless and until Borrower shall have repaid to Lender the Release Amount for such Pledged Mortgage Loan.

 

		4.2	Mandatory Prepayment Events.
The occurrence of any of the following events shall be a Mandatory Prepayment Event with respect to one or more Pledged Mortgage
Loans, as the case may be:

 

		(a)	thirty (30) calendar days elapse from the date the related Mortgage Loan Documents were delivered
to an Approved Investor and such Approved Investor has not returned such Mortgage Loan Documents or purchased such Pledged Mortgage
Loan, unless an extension is granted by Lender;

 

		(b)	ten (10) Business Days elapse from the date a related Mortgage Loan Document was delivered to Borrower
for correction or completion or for servicing purposes, without being returned to Lender or its designee, unless such Mortgage
Loan Document is released to a Servicer pursuant to Section 6.12(b) of this Agreement;

 

		(c)	a foreclosure or similar type of proceeding is initiated with respect to such Pledged Mortgage
Loan;

 

		(d)	the sale of such Pledged Mortgage Loan by Borrower to any party other than an Approved Investor;
or

 

		(e)	the Custodian ceases to hold the related Mortgage Loan File and all Mortgage Loan Documents in
respect thereof for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender at any time, subject to any releases permitted under the terms of
the Custodial Agreement.

 

		4.3	Optional Prepayments.
Borrower may prepay the Advance, in whole or in part, on any date that such Advance is outstanding, and such prepayment shall be
without premium or penalty, and in the case of a partial prepayment shall specify the Pledged Mortgage Loans to be released in
connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower use selection procedures in connection with any
such optional prepayment which identifies released Pledged Mortgage Loans as being more desirable or valuable than the Pledged
Mortgage Loans that will continue to be subject to the Advance. Any amounts prepaid shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal
amount of the Advance (together with any unpaid Accrued Interest thereon) until paid in full. Amounts repaid may not be reborrowed
hereunder.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

		4.4	Illegality or Impracticability.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Lender determines that any law, regulation, treaty or directive
or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or any circumstance materially and adversely affecting the
London interbank market, the finance market for mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities market or the source or cost of Lender’s
funds, shall make it:

 

		(a)	unlawful for Lender to enter into or maintain the Advance as contemplated by this Agreement, (i)
the commitment of Lender hereunder to enter into or to continue to maintain the Advance shall be cancelled and (ii) the principal
amount together with all unpaid Accrued Interest and all other Secured Obligations in respect of the Advance then outstanding shall
be due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (x) the date required by any financial institution providing funds to Lender to
fund Pledged Mortgage Loans and (y) the date as of which Lender determines that the Advance is unlawful to maintain; or

 

		(b)	commercially unreasonable for Lender to enter into or maintain the Advance as contemplated by this
Agreement, (i) the commitment of Lender hereunder to enter into or to continue to maintain the Advance shall be cancelled and (ii)
the principal amount together with all unpaid Accrued Interest and all other Secured Obligations in respect of the Advance then
outstanding shall be due and payable upon the earlier to occur of (x) the date required by any financial institution providing
funds to Lender and (y) the date as of which Lender determines that the Advance is commercially unreasonable to maintain.

 

Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for any costs,
losses or damages arising from or relating from any actions taken by Lender pursuant to this Section 4.4.

 

		4.5	Increased Costs.

 

		(a)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Lender determines that any change
in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or any change
in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (i) subjects Lender to any tax
of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Pledged Mortgage Loans (excluding Net Income taxes) or changes the
basis of taxation of payments to Lender 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 the Advance
or extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination
of the Applicable Interest Rate hereunder, or (iii) imposes on Lender any other condition, the result of which is to increase the
cost to Lender, by an amount which Lender deems to be material, of effecting or maintaining the Advance hereunder, or to reduce
any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable thereafter incurred.

    	6

    	 

    

 

		(b)	If Lender has determined that the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation
or determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation
or application thereof or compliance by Lender or any corporation that provides capital or funds to Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to
the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence
of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or such corporation but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed
by Lender to be material, then from time to time, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
thereafter compensate Lender for such reduction.

 

If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 4.5, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled. Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection, which
notice shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

		4.6	Payments Pursuant to Sale to Approved Investors.
Borrower shall direct each Approved Investor purchasing a Pledged Mortgage Loan to pay directly to Lender, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, the applicable Takeout Price in full and without set-off on the date of such purchase. Borrower shall
provide Lender with a Wire Transfer Advice relating to such payment. Lender shall apply all amounts received from an Approved Investor
for the account of Borrower in accordance with Section 4.7 below. In connection with any such sale, to the extent that (a)
Lender does not receive the full Takeout Price in respect of the related Pledged Mortgage Loans, or (b) the amount received is
not sufficient to pay the Release Amount for such Pledged Mortgage Loans (in each case, the “Takeout Shortfall”),
Lender shall not release the related Pledged Mortgage Loans until Lender has received from Borrower a wire transfer of immediately
available funds in an amount equal to the Takeout Shortfall without set-off. If Borrower receives any funds intended for Lender,
Borrower shall segregate and hold such funds in trust for Lender and immediately pay to Lender all such amounts by wire transfer
of immediately available funds together with providing Lender with a settlement statement for the transaction.

 

		4.7	Application of Payments from Borrower or Approved Investors.
Unless Lender determines otherwise, payments made directly by Borrower or an Approved Investor to Lender shall be applied in the
following order of priority:

 

		(a)	first, to any amounts due and owing to Lender pursuant to Section 6.11;

 

		(b)	second, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Lender under this Agreement
that are due and owing and related to the Advance;

 

		(c)	third, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Lender under this Agreement
that are due and owing and not related to the Advance;

 

		(d)	fourth, to the Accrued Interest then due and owing on the Pledged Mortgage Loans in connection
with which the payment is made;

 

		(e)	fifth, to the Accrued Interest then due and owing on any other Pledged Mortgage Loans;

 

		(f)	sixth, to the outstanding principal amount of the Advance allocable to the Pledged Mortgage
Loans, pro rata based upon the Release Amount of the Pledged Mortgage Loans as of the applicable date of determination in connection
with which the payment is made;

    	7

    	 

    

 

		(g)	seventh, to the outstanding principal amount of the Advance allocable to any other Pledged
Mortgage Loans, pro rata based upon the Release Amount of such other Pledged Mortgage Loans as of the applicable date of determination;
and

 

		(h)	eighth, to the amount of all other obligations then due and owing by Borrower to Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

		4.8	Method of Payment.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder must be received by Lender on the date when due and shall
be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Lender’s wire instructions
set forth on Exhibit G. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. All payments made by or on behalf of Borrower
with respect to the Advance shall be applied to Borrower’s account in accordance with Section 4.7 above and shall
be made in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments after withholding for or on account of any present
or future taxes, levies, imports, duties or other similar charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political
subdivision or taxing authority hereof, other than any taxes on or measured by the Net Income of Lender pursuant to the state,
federal and local tax laws of the jurisdiction where Lender’s principal office or offices or lending office or offices are
located, compensate Lender for any additional cost or reduced amount receivable of making or maintaining the Advance as a result
of such taxes, imports, duties or other charges. All payments to be made by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Advance
shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be responsible for maintaining its own book account and records of the Advance entered
into with Lender, amounts due to Lender in connection with the Advance and for paying such amounts when due. Failure of Lender
to provide Borrower with information regarding the Advance shall not excuse Borrower’s timely performance of all obligations
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment obligations under this Agreement.

 

		4.11	Full Recourse. Notwithstanding
the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the obligations of Borrower from time to time to make payments under the Note,
satisfy Borrowing Base Deficiencies and pay all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Borrower.

		6.4	Performance by Lender of Borrower’s Obligations.

perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to
the Default Rate, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand and shall constitute Secured Obligations.

but if any such proceeds are otherwise received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items, such proceeds

unmatured), such application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured

with customary industry standards. Neither Lender nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to
demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation
to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise.

 

		6.7	Powers Coupled with an Interest.
All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable during the term of this Agreement,

the Loan Documents Lender shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral and all powers of attorney, agencies
and authorizations herein contained or delivered hereby shall terminate; provided, that if any payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or a trustee or similar officer for Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, this Agreement,

		(b)	Security Interest. During the term of this Agreement, Borrower
(i) agrees that Lender has a first priority perfected security interest in all Servicing Records to the extent owned by Borrower,
and (ii) grants to Lender a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Pledged Mortgage Loans and all Servicing
Records to secure the obligation of Borrower or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any other obligation
of Borrower to Lender. To the extent Borrower obtains possession of any portion of the Servicing Records it owns, Borrower covenants
to safeguard such Servicing Records and deliver them promptly to Lender or its designee (including Custodian) at Lender’s
request.

 

		(c)	Servicing Agreement. Borrower shall enter into a Servicing Agreement with each Servicer,
which such Servicing Agreement shall be on terms acceptable to Lender in its discretion, and which shall include (either in the

to the Pledged Mortgage Loans and collections thereon upon receipt of a notice that an Event of Default has occurred.

 

		(e)	Notification of Servicer Defaults. If Borrower should discover that, for any reason whatsoever,
any entity responsible to Borrower by contract for managing or servicing any Pledged Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully
any obligations with respect to the management or servicing of such Pledged Mortgage Loans as required under this Agreement or
any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Pledged Mortgage Loan as delegated pursuant to any Servicing Agreement,
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing.

account for the benefit of Lender (the “Custodial Account”) with an Eligible Bank. Borrower shall promptly deposit

later two (2) Business Days of receipt after receipt thereof), into the Custodial Account all Income received with respect to each
Pledged Mortgage Loan pledged hereunder. Under no circumstances shall Borrower deposit any of its own funds into the Custodial
Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to Lender as owner of any Pledged Mortgage Loan. If Borrower
fails to segregate any funds and commingles them with any source in breach of this Agreement, Borrower agrees that its share of
the commingled funds are assumed to have been spent first with any remaining balance to be deemed to belong to Lender.

 

		(b)	Security Interest in Custodial Account. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing first
priority security interest in all right, title, and interest in and to the Custodial Account and all amounts on deposit therein.

 

		(c)	Income Payments.

Pledged Mortgage Loans;

 

		(ii)	second, to pay to Lender an amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Borrowing Base
Deficiency with respect to the Pledged Mortgage Loans (without limiting Borrower’s obligation to satisfy a Borrowing Base

    	14

    	 

    

 

		6.11	Borrowing Base Maintenance.

 

		(a)	Collateral Value. Lender shall have the right to determine
the Collateral Value of each Pledged Mortgage Loan on a daily basis or more frequently in the sole discretion of Lender.

 

		(b)	Borrowing Base Deficiency and Deficiency Notices. If Lender
shall determine at any time that (x) the Collateral Value of a Pledged Mortgage Loan subject to the Advance is less than the Collateral
Value for such Pledged Mortgage Loan as calculated on the Advance Date (less any cash or other amounts previously applied to reduce
the Release Amount for such Pledged Mortgage Loan) or (y) the aggregate Collateral Value of all Pledged Mortgage Loans subject
to the Advance is less than the aggregate Collateral Value for such Pledged Mortgage Loans as calculated on the Advance Date (less
any cash or other amounts previously applied to reduce the Advance) (in any such case, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”),
then Lender may, at its sole option and by notice to Borrower (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Deficiency
Notice”), require Borrower to repay the Advance in an amount sufficient to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficiency in
full. 

 

If Lender delivers a Deficiency Notice to Borrower on
or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Borrower shall transfer cash, to Lender no later than 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) that same day. If Lender delivers a Deficiency Notice to Borrower after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on any Business Day, Borrower shall be required to transfer cash no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next subsequent
Business Day. A Deficiency Notice may be provided by Lender to Borrower electronically or in writing, such as via electronic mail.

 

		(c)	Lender’s Discretion. Lender’s election not to
deliver a Deficiency Notice at any time there is a Borrowing Base Deficiency shall not in any way limit or impair its right to
deliver a Deficiency Notice at any time a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists.

 

		(d)	Credit to Advance. Any cash transferred to Lender pursuant
to this Section 6.11 shall be used to reduce the amount outstanding on the Note in respect of the Advance.

 

		6.12	Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

		(a)	Custodial Arrangements. With respect to Pledged Mortgage Loans,
Lender may appoint any Person to act as the Custodian to hold possession of the Mortgage Loan Documents and to take actions at
the direction of Lender. If any Person other than Lender is appointed as Custodian, it shall be a condition precedent to Lender
entering into the Advance hereunder that Borrower, Lender and Custodian enter into a Custodial Agreement acceptable to Lender.
Borrower hereby consents to any and all such appointments and agrees to deliver the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Custodian upon
the direction of Lender. Borrower further agrees that (i) the Custodian shall be exclusively the agent, bailee and/or custodian
of Lender; (ii) receipt of the Mortgage Loan Documents by the Custodian shall be constructive receipt by Lender of such documents;
(iii) Borrower shall not have and shall not attempt to exercise any degree of control over the Custodian or any Mortgage Loan Document
held by the Custodian; and (iv) Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission by the Custodian selected by Lender with reasonable
care. 

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

		(b)	Temporary Withdrawal of Mortgage Loan Documents for Correction.
Lender may permit Borrower or Servicer to obtain from the Custodian, for a period not to exceed ten (10) Business Days in the case
of Borrower, specified Mortgage Loan Documents for the purpose of correcting or completing such documents or servicing the related
Pledged Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in writing, in no event shall
more than ten (10) Mortgage Loan Files (or Mortgage Loan Documents from more than ten (10) Mortgage Loan Files) be released from
Custodian’s possession at any one time; provided further, that any Mortgage Loan Documents that are withdrawn
by or at the request of Borrower (and delivered to a Person other than Borrower) or a Servicer, shall at all times be covered by
one or more Bailee Agreements, true and complete and fully executed copies of which shall be delivered to Lender. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.12(b),
and the interest of Lender in the related Pledged Mortgage Loan shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are
returned to, or the Release Amount for such Pledged Mortgage Loan, is received by, Lender.

 

		(c)	Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents to Approved Investors.
Provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the written request of Borrower, Lender
may, at its option, deliver to an Approved Investor or its custodian, the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to a specified Pledged
Mortgage Loan. All such Pledged Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Documents shall at all times be covered by one or
more Bailee Agreements, and Lender or its designee will not release Mortgage Loan Documents to an Approved Investor unless Lender
or its Custodian has received a true and complete and fully executed Bailee Agreement from the Approved Investor. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender shall be deemed to be in possession of any Mortgage Loan Documents released pursuant to this Section 6.12(c),
and the interest of Lender in the related Pledged Mortgage Loan shall continue unimpaired until the Mortgage Loan Documents are
returned to, or the Release Amount for such Pledged Mortgage Loan is received by, Lender. If the Approved Investor does not purchase
a Pledged Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall, upon the request of Lender, assist Lender in the recovery of any Mortgage Loan Documents
not returned by the Approved Investor to Lender.

 

		6.13	Release of Pledged Mortgage Loans.
Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may request that Lender release
a Pledged Mortgage Loan by paying, or causing an Approved Investor to pay, to Lender, subject to Sections 4.6 and 4.7
above, the Release Amount for such Pledged Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of the applicable amount, as set forth above, Lender shall,
deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Borrower or Borrower’s designee, if
such documents have not already been delivered pursuant to a Bailee Agreement. If any such release gives rise to or perpetuates
a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount thereof and Borrower shall thereupon satisfy the Borrowing
Base Deficiency in the manner specified in Section 6.11(b). Lender shall have no obligation to release a Pledged Mortgage
Loan or terminate its security interest in such Pledged Mortgage Loan until such Borrowing Base Deficiency is satisfied.

ARTICLE 8

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

		8.1	Representations and Warranties Concerning Borrower.
Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants with Lender that the following representations and warranties are true and correct
as of the Effective Date through and until the date on which all Secured Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement are fully
satisfied.

 

		(a)	Due Formation and Good Standing. Borrower is (i) duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the full legal power and
authority and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its property and to carry
on its business as currently conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary.

 

		(b)	Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by
Borrower of the Loan Documents and all other documents and transactions contemplated thereby, are within Borrower’s corporate
powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not constitute or will not result in (i) a breach of
any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or corresponding
organizational documents if Borrower is not a corporation); (ii) a material breach of any legal restriction or any agreement or
instrument to which Borrower is now a party or by which it is bound; (iii) a material default or an acceleration under any of the
foregoing; or (iv) the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Borrower or its property is subject.

 

		(c)	Enforceable Obligation. The Loan Documents and all other documents
contemplated thereby constitute legal, binding and valid obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with
their respective terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s
rights.

 

		(d)	Approvals. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents
and all other documents contemplated thereby and the performance of Borrower’s obligations thereunder do not require any
license, consent, approval, authorization or other action of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, or if required, such
license, consent, approval, authorization or other action has been obtained prior to the Effective Date.

 

		(e)	Compliance with Laws. Borrower is not in violation of any
of its articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or corresponding organizational documents if Borrower is not a corporation),
of any provision of any applicable law, or of any judgment, award, rule, regulation, order, decree, writ or injunction of any court
or public regulatory body or authority that might have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Borrower.

 

		(f)	Financial Condition. All financial statements of Borrower
and Guarantor delivered to Lender fairly and accurately present the financial condition of the parties for whom such statements
are submitted as of the date set forth therein. The financial statements of Borrower have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied throughout the periods involved, and there are no contingent liabilities not disclosed thereby that would
adversely affect the financial condition of Borrower. Since the close of the period covered by the latest financial statement delivered
to Lender with respect to Borrower, there has been no material adverse change in the assets, liabilities or financial condition
of Borrower nor is Borrower aware of any facts that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would or could result in
any such material adverse change. No event has occurred, including, without limitation, any litigation or administrative proceedings,
and no condition exists or, to the knowledge of Borrower, is threatened, that (i) might render Borrower unable to perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents and all other documents contemplated thereby; (ii) would constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default;
or (iii) might have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Borrower.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

		(g)	Credit Facilities. The only credit facilities, including repurchase
agreements for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, of Borrower that are presently in effect and are secured by mortgage
loans or provide for the purchase, repurchase or early funding of mortgage loan sales, are with Persons disclosed to Lender at
the time of application, or thereafter disclosed to Lender pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof.

 

		(h)	Title to Mortgage Loans. Borrower has good, valid, insurable
(in the case of real property) and marketable title to all of its properties and other assets, whether real or personal, tangible
or intangible, reflected on the financial statements delivered to Lender with respect to Borrower, except for such properties and
other assets that have been disposed of in the ordinary course of business of Borrower’s mortgage banking business, and all
such properties and other assets are free and clear of all liens except as disclosed in such financial statements.

 

		(i)	Litigation. There are no actions, claims, suits, investigations
or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened or reasonably anticipated against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor
or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of the property thereof in any court or before or by any arbitrator,
government commission, board, bureau or other administrative agency that, if adversely determined, may reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

 

		(j)	Payment of Taxes. Borrower has timely filed all tax returns
and reports required to be filed and has paid all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied upon it or its
property or income that are due and payable, including interest and penalties, or has provided adequate reserves for the payment
thereof. Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by Borrower in connection with the Advance and the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents have been paid.

 

		(k)	No Defaults. Borrower is not in default under any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument or contractual or legal obligation to which it is a party or by which it
is bound in any respect that may reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		(l)	ERISA. Borrower is in compliance in all material respects
with the requirements of ERISA and the Code, and no Reportable Event has occurred under any Plan maintained by Borrower. The present
value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting
such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations
of all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of
the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such
Plans. Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not provide any material medical or health benefits to former employees other than as required
by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, as amended, or similar state or local law (collectively, “COBRA”)
at no cost to the employer. The assets of Borrower are not “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 CFR 2510.3-101 as
modified by section 3(42) of ERISA.

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

		(m)	Servicer. No Servicer is an Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor.

 

		(n)	True and Complete Disclosure. The information, reports, financial
statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to Lender in connection
with the negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or included herein or therein or delivered
pursuant hereto or thereto, when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to Lender in connection
with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be true, complete and
accurate in every material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable estimates, on the date as of which such
information is stated or certified. There is no fact known to Borrower that, after due inquiry, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in a report, financial statement,
exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to Lender for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.

 

		(o)	Ownership; Priority of Liens. Borrower owns all Mortgage Loans
identified in the Loan Terms Letter that are to become Pledged Mortgage Loans, and shall pledge all of Borrower’s right,
title and interest in and to the related Pledged Mortgage Loans and other Collateral to Lender, including the Servicing Rights
(to the extent owned by Borrower) related thereto. This Agreement creates in favor of Lender, a valid, enforceable first priority
lien and security interest in the Pledged Mortgage Loans and other Collateral, prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject
to no other liens, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s
rights.

 

		(p)	Investment Company Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
is an “investment company” or a company controlled by an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

		(q)	Filing Jurisdictions. Schedule 1 hereto sets forth
all of the jurisdictions and filing offices in which a financing statement should be filed in order for Lender to perfect its security
interest in the Pledged Mortgage Loans and other Collateral.

 

		(r)	Borrower Solvent; Fraudulent Conveyance. As of the date hereof
and immediately after giving effect to the Advance, the fair value of the assets of Borrower is greater than the fair value of
the liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as a liability
on the financial statements of Borrower in accordance with GAAP) of Borrower and Borrower is and will be solvent, is and will be
able to pay its debts as they mature and does not and will not have an unreasonably small capital to engage in the business in
which it is engaged and proposes to engage. Borrower does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its
ability to pay such debts as they mature. Borrower is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation
or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect
of Borrower or any of its assets. Borrower is not transferring any Mortgage Loans with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any
of its creditors.

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

		(s)	Custodial Account. All funds required to be segregated and
deposited into the Custodial Account have been so segregated and deposited.

on is located at 540 Madison Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10022. 

 

		(u)	Reserved.

 

		(v)	Reserved.

 

		(w)	Custodian. If the Custodian is a Person other than Lender, such Custodian is not an Affiliate

Loans.  Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants with Lender that the representations
and warranties contained in each applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are true and correct with respect to each Pledged
Mortgage Loan as of the related Advance Date through and until the date that such Pledged Mortgage Loan is released from the Agreement
pursuant to the terms hereof and the representations and warranties contained in each applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
are hereby incorporated by reference.

have occurred and for as long as such is occurring, Borrower shall not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written
consent of Lender, make any payment of any kind thereafter on such Debt or Subordinated Debt until all obligations of Borrower
hereunder have been paid and performed in full.

 

		10.4	Loss of Eligibility.
Borrower shall not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Lender, take, or fail to take, any action
that would cause Borrower to lose all or any part of its status as an eligible seller or mortgagee or willfully terminate its status
as an eligible seller or mortgagee without forty-five (45) days prior written notice to Lender.

 

		10.5	Loans to Officers, Employees and Shareholders.
Borrower shall not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Lender, make any personal loans or advances
to any officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners or owners of Borrower or any Guarantor in an aggregate amount exceeding

also a Guarantor and (iii) such loan or advance is clearly reflected on Borrower’s financial reports provided to Lender.

 

		10.6	Liens on Pledged Mortgage Loans and Collateral.
Borrower acknowledges that with respect to the Advance it shall have pledged the Pledged Mortgage Loans and related Collateral

that Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender, and provided that a Potential Default or an Event of Default is
not existing and will not occur as a result thereof, engage in a transaction(s) with any or all of its Affiliates if (i) such transaction
is in the ordinary course of Borrower’s mortgage conduit business, and (ii) such transaction is upon fair and reasonable
terms no less favorable to Borrower had Borrower entered into a comparable arm length’s transaction with a Person which is
not an Affiliate.

 

    	28

    	 

    

 

		10.8	Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Mortgage Loans and Change of

into any partnership, joint venture, syndicate or other combination which could have a Material Adverse Effect; or (e) allow a
Change of Control to occur with respect to Borrower, without prior written consent of Lender; provided, however, that Borrower
may, without the prior written consent of Lender, and provided that a Potential Default or an Event of Default is not existing
and will not occur as a result thereof: (i) merge or consolidate with any Person if Borrower is the surviving and controlling entity,
and (ii) in the ordinary course of Borrower’s mortgage conduit business, sell equipment that is uneconomic or obsolete and
acquire Mortgage Loans for resale and sell Mortgage Loans.

property or in obligations of Borrower.

 

		10.10	Collateral. Borrower
shall not attempt to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or pledge or otherwise
encumber (except pursuant to this Agreement) any of the Pledged Mortgage Loans or other Collateral or any interest therein. Borrower
shall not, without prior written consent of Lender, amend or modify, or waive any of the terms and conditions of, or settle or
compromise any claim in respect of, any Pledged Mortgage Loan.

 

		10.11	No Additional Facilities.
Borrower shall not, without prior written notification to Lender, enter into any mortgage or mortgage servicing rights financing
facility (including, without limitation, any warehouse, repurchase, purchase or off-balance sheet facility).

within thirty (30) days after entry thereof;

    	30

    	31

    	 

    

 

		(o)	Borrower shall purport to disavow its obligations hereunder or shall contest the validity or enforceability
of the Loan Documents or Lender’s interest in any Pledged Mortgage Loan or other Collateral;

 

		(p)	a default shall occur under the Guaranty that continues beyond the expiration of any applicable

		(q)	Reserved;

 

		(r)	a Material Adverse Effect shall occur with respect to Borrower or any Guarantor;

 

		(s)	Reserved;

 

		(t)	any Loan Document shall for whatever reason (including an event of default thereunder) be terminated,

of the Custodian or Servicer for reasons other than a breach by Borrower of the Custodial Agreement or Servicing Agreement (subject
to Section 11.1(v) below)), or this Agreement shall for any reason cease to create a valid, first priority security interest
or ownership interest upon transfer in any of the Collateral;

 

		(u)	a Change of Control shall occur with respect to Borrower or any Guarantor without the consent of
Lender; or

 

		(v)	a material breach by any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement shall have occurred
and be continuing and Borrower has not (A) appointed a successor servicer acceptable to Lender and (B) delivered a fully executed
Servicing Agreement Side Letter with such successor servicer, in each case within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of
such breach.

 

With respect to any Event of Default which requires
a determination to be made as to whether such Event of Default has occurred, such determination shall be made in Lender’s
good faith discretion and Borrower hereby agrees to be bound by and comply with any such determination by Lender. An Event of Default
shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Lender in writing.

 

		11.2	Remedies. Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, by notice to Borrower, (i) immediately declare all or any portion of the principal
amount of the Advance then outstanding under the Note together with all Accrued Interest thereon and any applicable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) accruing under the Note, this Agreement
and any other Loan Document to be due and payable; provided, that such acceleration shall immediately occur upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(i), (n) or (o), notwithstanding that Lender may not
have provided any such notice to Borrower, and (ii) exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. 

 

    	32

    	 

    

 

Upon such declaration or such automatic acceleration,
the balance then outstanding on the Note shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
formalities of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower,
and Lender shall have the right to exercise any remedies available to it at law and pursuant to the Loan Documents including, but
not limited to, collecting, receiving, appropriating and realizing upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith
sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof
(or contract to do any of the foregoing) on a servicing released basis, in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private
sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions and at prices
that are consistent with the prevailing market for similar collateral as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem
best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall act in good faith to obtain
the best execution possible under prevailing market conditions. Because Borrower recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase
or sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner
because the market for such Collateral may not be liquid, Borrower agrees that liquidation of the Collateral 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, Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Collateral and nothing contained
herein shall (A) obligate Lender to liquidate any Collateral on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Collateral
in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or remedies. Lender shall
have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to
purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or
equity is hereby waived or released. Borrower agrees, at Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available
to Lender at places which Lender shall reasonably select, whether at Borrower’s premises or elsewhere. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if
given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

 

Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection,
recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred
therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights
of Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment
in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the
payment by Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-504(1)(c)
of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. Borrower shall remain liable for any
deficiency (plus Accrued Interest thereon at the Default Rate as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Agreement)
if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and/or the reasonable
fees and disbursements incurred by Lender, including reasonable fees and expenses of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect
such deficiency.

 

It is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Borrower shall strictly comply with the negative covenants contained in Article 10 hereunder and
in no event shall Borrower declare and pay any dividends, incur additional Debt or Subordinated Debt, make payments on existing
Debt or Subordinated Debt or otherwise distribute or transfer any of Borrower’s property and assets to any Person without
the prior written consent of Lender. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands
it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages
and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

 

    	33

    	 

    

 

		11.3	Treatment of Custodial Account.
During the existence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower
shall have no right to withdraw or release any funds in the Custodial Account to itself or for its benefit, nor shall it have any
right to set-off any amount owed to it by Lender against funds held by it for Lender in the Custodial Account. During the existence
of an Event of Default, Borrower shall promptly remit to or at the direction of Lender all funds related to the Pledged Mortgage
Loans in the Custodial Account.

 

		11.4	No Obligation to Pursue Remedy.
Lender shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice
of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Borrower further waives
any right to require Lender to (a) proceed against any Person, (b) proceed against or exhaust all or any of the Pledged Mortgage
Loans or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Pledged Mortgage Loans in any particular order, or (c) pursue any other
remedy in its power. Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower against holders
of mortgages prior in lien to the lien of any Pledged Mortgage Loan or to preserve rights against prior parties. No failure on
the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, power or remedy provided hereunder,
at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without
intending to limit the foregoing, all defenses based on the statute of limitations are hereby waived by Borrower. The remedies
herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

 

		11.5	No Judicial Process.
Lender may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Borrower hereby expressly waives,
to the extent permitted by law, any right Borrower might otherwise have to require Lender to enforce its rights by judicial process.
Borrower also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Borrower might otherwise have to its obligations under this Agreement
arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Pledged Mortgage Loans or from any other
election of remedies. Borrower 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.

 

		11.6	Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses.
Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the lien and
priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Pledged Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, payment of delinquent
taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements and losses resulting from any hedging arrangements entered into by Lender pursuant to Section 11.2,
incurred or paid by Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof,
together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time of payment until repaid, shall become a part of the Secured
Obligations.

 

		11.7	Rights of Set-Off.
Lender shall have the following rights of set-off:

 

		(a)	If Borrower shall default in the payment or performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, Lender shall have the
right, at any time, and from time to time, without notice, to set-off claims and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of
money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender to or for the credit of the account of Borrower
against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not Lender
shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations and liabilities shall have become due; provided, however,
that the aforesaid right to set-off shall not apply to any deposits of escrow monies being held on behalf of the Mortgagors related
to the Pledged Mortgage Loans or other third parties. Lender may set off cash, the proceeds of any liquidation of the Pledged Mortgage
Loans and all other sums or obligations owed by Lender to Borrower against all of Borrower’s obligations to Lender, whether
under this Agreement, under the Advance, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations
are then due, without prejudice to Lender’s right to recover any deficiency. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after
any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application.

 

    	34

    	 

    

 

		(b)	In addition to the rights in subsection (a), Lender and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Bank of America Related
Entities”), shall have the right to set-off and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or
any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Bank of America Related Entities to or for the credit of the account of
Borrower and Guarantor against and on account of the obligations of Borrower under any agreement(s) between Borrower and/or Guarantor,
on the one hand, and the Bank of America Related Entities, on the other hand, irrespective of whether or not the Bank of America
Related Entity shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said obligations shall have matured. In exercising the foregoing
right to set-off, any Bank of America Related Entity shall be entitled to withdraw funds which are being held for or owing to Borrower
to set-off against any amounts due and owing by Borrower to the Bank of America Related Entity. If a Bank of America Related Entity
other than Lender intends to exercise its right to set-off in this subsection (b), such Bank of America Related Entity shall provide
Borrower prior notice thereof, and upon Borrower’s receipt of such notice, if the basis for such right to set-off is Borrower’s
breach or default of its obligations to the Bank of America Related Entity, Borrower shall have three (3) Business Days to cure
any such breach or default in order to avoid such set-off.

 

		11.8	Reasonable Assurances.
If, at any time during the term of the Agreement, Lender has reason to believe that Borrower is not conducting its business in
accordance with, or otherwise is not satisfying: (i) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules, and notices of federal, state,
or local governmental agencies or instrumentalities, all applicable requirements of Insurers and prudent industry standards or
(ii) all applicable requirements of Lender, as set forth in this Agreement, then, Lender shall have the right to demand, pursuant
to notice from Lender to Borrower specifying with particularity the alleged act, error or omission in question, reasonable assurances
from Borrower that such a belief is in fact unfounded, and any failure of Borrower to provide to Lender such reasonable assurances
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, within the time frame specified in such notice, shall itself constitute
an Event of Default hereunder, without a further cure period. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to take such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to confirm the continued eligibility of Borrower for Advance hereunder, including without limitation (i)
ordering credit reports and/or appraisals with respect to any Pledged Mortgage Loan, (ii) contacting Mortgagors, licensing authorities
and Approved Investors or Insurers, and (iii) performing due diligence reviews on Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to Section
9.2 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 12

INDEMNIFICATION

 

		12.1	Indemnification.
Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Bank of America Related Entities and any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable fees
and disbursements of its counsel) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any way relating
to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any Pledged Mortgage Loans or Borrower’s
obligations thereunder, except to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements are the direct result of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. Borrower also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified
Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s
rights under this Agreement, any other Loan Document (provided that if the terms of any Loan Document conflict with the foregoing,
the terms of the Loan Document shall control) or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the
reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

 

		12.2	Reimbursement. Borrower
shall reimburse the Bank of America Related Entities for all expenses required in the Loan Terms Letter to be reimbursed when they
become due and owing. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Lender all of the reasonable out-of pocket costs
and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby
including, without limitation, all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Lender with
respect to Pledged Mortgage Loans and Borrower prior to the Effective Date or pursuant to Section 9.2, or otherwise, (ii)
the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Loan Document or any other
documents prepared in connection therewith, and (iii) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Lender
incurred in connection with any of the foregoing.

 

		12.3	Payment of Taxes.

 

		(a)	All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings,
and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority,
excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the Net Income by the United States,
a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political
subdivision thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Borrower for its own account not
later than the date when due. If Borrower is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of
any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to
the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Lender, promptly, original tax receipts
and other evidence satisfactory to Lender of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) pay to Lender such
additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Lender 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. In addition, Borrower 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”).

 

    	36

    	 

    

 

		(b)	Borrower shall pay and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Taxes and Other Taxes
arising with respect to the Pledged Mortgage Loans, the Loan Documents and other documents related thereto and hold Lender harmless
from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

 

		(c)	Any Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or
the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Lender”) shall provide Borrower with properly completed United States Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such
Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate
of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected
with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Lender becomes
a Lender. Each Foreign Lender will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission
or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such
Foreign Lender as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Lender has
failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 12.3(c) (unless
such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required
to be provided), such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section
12.3(b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Lender, which is otherwise
exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Borrower shall
take such steps as such Foreign Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Lender to recover such Taxes.

 

		(d)	Nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall require Lender to make available any of its
tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

 

		12.4	Lender Payment. If
Borrower fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Article 12, such amount may
be paid on behalf of Borrower by Lender, in its discretion and Borrower shall remain liable for any such payments by Lender. No
such payment by Lender shall be deemed a waiver of any of Lender’s rights under any of the Loan Documents.

 

		12.5	Agreement not to Assert Claims.
Borrower agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential
or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the
Advance, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO
ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

 

    	37

    	 

    

 

		12.6	Survival. Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Borrower contained in
this Article 12 shall survive the repayment in full of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder and
delivery of the Pledged Mortgage Loans by Lender against full payment therefor.

all amounts due Lender under the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Borrower and without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Borrower in default, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

		13.2	Termination.

 

		(a)	Lender may terminate this Agreement for cause at any time by providing notice to Borrower. For
the avoidance of doubt, cause shall be deemed to exist if Lender determines that there has been fraud, misrepresentation or any
similar intentional conduct on behalf of Borrower, its officers, directors, employees, agents and/or its representatives with respect
to any of Borrower’s obligations, responsibilities or actions undertaken in connection with this Agreement.

 

		(b)	Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all outstanding amounts due to Lender under
the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Borrower and without presentment, demand, protest, notice
of protest or dishonor, or other notice of default, and without formally placing Borrower in default, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by Borrower. Further, any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the outstanding obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and all such outstanding obligations and the rights and remedies afforded Lender in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, those rights and remedies afforded Lender under this Agreement, shall survive any termination
of this Agreement. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for any costs, loss or damages arising from or relating to a termination
by Lender in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 13.2.

		14.3	No Waiver. No failure
or delay on the part of Borrower or Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between

hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

 

    	38

    	 

    

 

		14.4	Remedies Cumulative.
The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Borrower or Lender
would otherwise have. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances
without notice or demand.

 

		14.5	Assignment. The Loan
Documents may not be assigned by Borrower. The Loan Documents, along with Lender’s right, title and interest, including its
security interest, in any or all of the Pledged Mortgage Loans and other Collateral, may, at any time, be transferred or assigned,
in whole or in part, by Lender, and upon providing notice to Borrower of such transfer or assignment, together with an acknowledgement

may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in this Agreement, and the holder of any such participation, if the
participation agreement so provides, (i) shall, with respect to its participation, be entitled to all of the rights of Lender and
(ii) may exercise any and all rights of set-off or banker’s lien with respect thereto, in each case as fully as though Borrower
were directly obligated to the holder of such participation in the amount of such participation; provided, however, that Borrower
shall not be required to send or deliver to any of the participants other than Lender any of the materials or notices required
to be sent or delivered by it under the terms of this Agreement, nor shall it have to act except in compliance with the instructions
of Lender.

 

		14.8	Invalidity. In case
any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement
shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.

to be done or observed for the purpose of effectively creating, maintaining and preserving the security and benefits intended to

		14.16	Headings. The headings
in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of any

		14.17	Confidential Information.
To effectuate this Agreement, Lender and Borrower may disclose to each other certain confidential information relating to the parties’
operations, computer systems, technical data, business methods, and other information designated by the disclosing party or its
agent to be confidential, or that should be considered confidential in nature by a reasonable person given the nature of the information
and the circumstances of its disclosure (collectively the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information
can consist of information that is either oral or written or both, and may include, without limitation, any of the following: (i)
any reports, information or material concerning or pertaining to businesses, methods, plans, finances, accounting statements, and/or
projects of either party or their affiliated or related entities; (ii) any of the foregoing related to the parties or their related
or affiliated entities and/or their present or future activities and/or (iii) any term or condition of any agreement (including
this Agreement) between either party and any individual or entity relating to any of their business operations. With respect to
Confidential Information, the parties hereby agree, except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement:

 

		(a)	not to use the Confidential Information except in furtherance of this Agreement;

 

    	41

    	 

    

 

		(b)	to use reasonable efforts to safeguard the Confidential Information against disclosure to any unauthorized
third party with the same degree of care as they exercise with their own information of similar nature; and

 

		(c)	not to disclose Confidential Information to anyone other than employees, agents or contractors
with a need to have access to the Confidential Information and who are bound to the parties by like obligations of confidentiality,
except that the parties shall not be prevented from using or disclosing any of the Confidential Information which: (i) is already
known to the receiving party at the time it is obtained from the disclosing party; (ii) is now, or becomes in the future, public
knowledge other than through wrongful acts or omissions of the party receiving the Confidential Information; (iii) is lawfully
obtained by the party from sources independent of the party disclosing the Confidential Information and without confidentiality
and/or non-use restrictions; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without any use of the Confidential Information
of the disclosing party. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lender may share any Confidential Information
of Borrower with an Affiliate of Lender for any valid business purpose, such as, but not limited to, to assist an Affiliate in
evaluating a current or potential business relationship with Borrower.

 

In addition, the Loan Documents and their respective
terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder (other than the tax treatment and tax structure
of the transactions), are proprietary to Lender and shall be held by Borrower in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to
any third party without the consent of Lender except for (i) disclosure to Borrower’s direct and indirect parent companies,
directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant
of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions; (ii) upon prior written notice to Lender, disclosure
required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body; (iii) upon prior written notice to Lender, disclosure
to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any hedging hereunder, (iv) any disclosures or filing required
under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws; or (vi) the tax treatment
and tax structure of the transactions, which shall not be deemed confidential; provided that in the case of (ii), (iii),
and (iv), Borrower shall take reasonable actions to provide Lender with prior written notice; provided further that in the
case of (iv), Borrower shall not file any of the Loan Documents other than the Agreement with the SEC or state securities office
unless Borrower has (x) provided at least fifteen (15) days (or such lesser time as may be demanded by the SEC or state securities
office) prior written notice of such filing to Lender, and (y) redacted all pricing information and other commercial terms to the
extent permitted.

 

If any party or any of its successors, Subsidiaries,
officers, directors, employees, agents and/or representatives, including, without limitation, its insurers, sureties and/or attorneys,
breaches its respective duty of confidentiality under this Agreement, the nonbreaching party(ies) shall be entitled to all remedies
available at law and/or in equity, including, without limitation, injunctive relief.

 

		14.18	Tax Treatment. Each
party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent, solely for purposes of United States federal, state and local income
and franchise taxes, and not for bankruptcy or any other purpose, to treat the Advance as indebtedness of Borrower that is secured
by the Pledged Mortgage Loans and that the Pledged Mortgage Loans are owned by Borrower in the absence of an Event of Default by
Borrower. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless
required by law.

 

    	42

    	 

    

 

		14.19	Examination and Oversight by Regulators.
Borrower agrees that the transactions with Lender under this Agreement may be subject to regulatory examination and oversight,
including, without limitation, examination and oversight by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).
Borrower shall comply with all regulatory requirements of Lender and Borrower shall grant regulatory agencies, including, but not
limited to, the OCC, the right to audit the books and records of Borrower in order to monitor or verify Borrower’s performance
under and compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

CERTIFICATE

 

 

	Period Ending:	[DATE]
	Borrower Name:	Five Oaks Acquisition Corp.
	Guarantor Name:	Five Oaks Investment Corp.

 

I, ___________________________, do hereby
certify that I am the duly elected authorized Chief Financial Officer of Five Oaks Acquisition Corp. (“Borrower”)
and Five Oaks Investment Corp. (“Guarantor”). This certificate in connection with Section 9.1(c) of the Loan
and Security Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2014, by and between Borrower and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”
or “Lender”) (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”)
and the Guaranty, dated as of July 18, 2014 by Five Oaks Investment Corp. (“Guarantor”) to and for the benefit
of Bank of America. I do hereby certify that, as of the date of the financial statements attached hereto and as of the date hereof,
Borrower and Guarantor are and have been in compliance with all the terms of the Agreement and Guaranty and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, I certify that:

 

		1.	Representations and Warranties: The representations and warranties made by Borrower and
Guarantor under the Agreement, Guaranty, and other Loan Documents (between Bank of America and Borrower and Bank of America and
Guarantor) are accurate and true on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as though such representations and warranties
had been made on and as of the date hereof, including, without limitation, the following:

 

1.1.   Financial Condition:
All financial statements of Borrower and Guarantor delivered to Bank of America fairly and accurately present the financial condition
of the parties for whom such statements are submitted as of the date set forth therein. The financial statements of Borrower and
Guarantor have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, and there are no contingent
liabilities not disclosed thereby that would adversely affect the financial condition of Borrower and/or Guarantor. Since the close
of the period covered by the latest financial statement delivered to Bank of America with respect to Borrower and Guarantor, there
has been no material adverse change in the assets, liabilities or financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor nor is Borrower
or Guarantor aware of any facts that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would or could result in any such material
adverse change. No event has occurred, including, without limitation, any litigation or administrative proceedings, and no condition
exists or, to the knowledge of Borrower or Guarantor, is threatened, that (i) might render Borrower or Guarantor unable to perform
its obligations under the Loan Documents and all other documents contemplated thereby; (ii) would constitute a Potential Default
or Event of Default; or (iii) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Borrower or Guarantor.

 

    	Exhibit E-1

    	 

    

 

1.2.   Solvency: The
fair value of the assets of Borrower and Guarantor is greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including, without limitation,
contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as a liability on the financial statements of Borrower and
Guarantor, respectively, in accordance with GAAP) of Borrower and Borrower is and will be solvent, is and will be able to pay its
debts as they mature and does not and will not have an unreasonably small capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged
and proposes to engage. Borrower does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such
debts as they mature. Borrower and Guarantor are not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation
proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Borrower and Guarantor
or any of its assets. Borrower and Guarantor are not transferring any Mortgage Loans with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any of its creditors.

 

		2.	Compliance with Agreement and other Loan Documents: Borrower and Guarantor are in full compliance
with all of the terms and provisions set forth in the Agreement, Guaranty and other Loan Documents on its part to be performed
and observed, and no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

		3.	Compliance with Other Agreements: Borrower and Guarantor are in full compliance with all
of the terms and provisions set forth in any agreements between Borrower or Guarantor, Bank of America and/or Bank of America affiliates
on its part to be performed and observed, and no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

		4.	No Change in Executive Management: Other than as previously disclosed to Lender, no material
change in the Executive Management has occurred.

 

		5.	Reserved.

 

		6.	No Changes in Structure of Borrower or Guarantor: Other than as previously disclosed to
Lender, there has been no (i) change to the location of Borrower or Guarantor’s chief executive office/chief place of business
from that specified in Section 8.1(t) of the Agreement, (ii) change in the name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent)
of the Borrower or Guarantor or change in the location where Borrower or Guarantor maintains its records with respect to the Pledged
Mortgage Loans or any Collateral, or (iii) reincorporation or reorganization of Borrower or Guarantor under the laws of another
jurisdiction.

 

		7.	Escrow and Mortgage Insurance Proceeds: To the extent applicable, Borrower and Guarantor
has segregated all escrow and mortgage insurance proceeds into an individual custodial account and is in compliance with all applicable
laws.

 

		8.	Liabilities and Advances: Except as otherwise permitted under the Agreement, Borrower has
not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Bank of America, made any personal loans or advances to
any officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners or owners of Borrower or any Guarantor in an aggregate amount exceeding
ten percent (10%) of Borrower’s Tangible Net Worth. Except as otherwise permitted under the Agreement, Borrower has not incurred
any additional material Debt without the prior written consent of Bank of America.

 

    	Exhibit E-2

    	 

    

 

		9.	Regulatory Action: Borrower has not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written
consent of Bank of America, taken, or failed to take, any action that would cause Borrower to lose all or any part of its status
as an eligible seller or mortgagee or willfully terminate its status as an eligible seller or mortgagee by an Agency or Government
Authority without forty-five (45) days prior written notice to Bank of America.

 

		10.	Attachments: The following attachments and information contained therein are accurate and
true in all respects and do not fail to include any information which is necessary to not make such attachments and the information
contained therein misleading.

 

		11.	Capitalized Terms: All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have

EXECUTION VERSION

 

 

GUARANTY

 

THIS GUARANTY (the “Guaranty”)
is made and entered into as of July 18, 2014 by Five Oaks Investment Corp. the “Guarantor”), to and for the
benefit of Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”).

 

RECITALS

 

		A.	Subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July
18, 2014 (including any amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications or other agreements or other documents referenced
therein, collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), Bank of America has agreed to make certain loans to Five Oaks
Acquisition Corp. (the “Borrower”) and Borrower has agreed to pledge certain mortgage loans to Bank of America.

 

		B.	As a condition precedent to Bank of America’s agreement to make the loans contemplated under
the Loan Agreement and, in order to provide Bank of America with further assurances that Borrower will perform its obligations
under the Loan Agreement, Guarantor is required to execute and deliver this Guaranty to Bank of America.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual rights and obligations provided herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which
are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

		1.	Guaranty of Obligations. Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees the payment when due, upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of Borrower to Bank of America under
the Loan Agreement, howsoever evidenced, whether now existing or hereafter created or arising, whether voluntary or involuntary
and however arising, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (the “Obligations”),
whether or not (i) such Obligations are from time to time reduced or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred; (ii) Borrower
may be liable individually or jointly with others; (iii) recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter become barred by any
statute of limitations; and/or (iv) such Obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable.

 

		2.	Guaranty Not Affected by Certain Events. Neither (a) the dissolution, insolvency
or business failure of, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium or other debtor relief proceedings by or against Borrower nor (b) the appointment of a receiver for, or the attachment,
restraint of or making or levying of any order of court or legal process affecting, the property of Borrower shall affect the obligations
of Guarantor hereunder and Bank of America may immediately pursue its rights under this Guaranty against Guarantor upon the occurrence
of any such events even though Bank of America may be stayed from accelerating or collecting the Obligations from Borrower. Further,
Bank of America may take any actions it deems necessary in any bankruptcy case by or against Borrower without releasing or exonerating
Guarantor from its obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any of the following actions: (i) permit or
suffer the impairment of any Obligations, (ii) make an election under Bankruptcy Code Section 1111(b)(2), (iii) permit or suffer
the creation of secured or unsecured credit or debt under Bankruptcy Code Section 364 or (iv) permit or suffer the disallowance,
avoidance or subordination of any Obligation or collateral (including, without limitation, the Pledged Mortgage Loans (as defined
in the Loan Agreement)).

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		3.	Modification of Obligations. Guarantor authorizes Bank of America (whether or not after termination of this Guaranty),
without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute which cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing
its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time
for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of
interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and
release any such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Bank of America in its discretion
may determine; and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Borrower or other obligors. Bank of America
may, without the further consent of Borrower or Guarantor, assign this Guaranty in whole or in part to any person acquiring an
interest in the Obligations. Bank of America agrees promptly to notify the Guarantor of any assignment of this Guaranty; provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such assignment.

 

		4.	Independent Obligation. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of
the Obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not action
is brought against Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action.

 

		5.	Primary Obligation. This Guaranty is one of payment, not of collection, and is the
primary obligation of the undersigned. Guarantor waives any right to require Bank of America to (a) proceed against Borrower or
any other party; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower; or (c) pursue any other remedy in Bank of America’s
power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any personal defense based on or arising out of any personal defense of Borrower other than
payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Borrower,
or the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of
the liability of Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations. Bank of America may, at its election, exercise any right
or remedy Bank of America may have against Borrower, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election,
even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of
Guarantor against Borrower or any security.

 

		6.	Waiver of Rights.

 

		(a)	Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement, Contribution and Similar Rights. As long as there
are outstanding Obligations which have not been paid in full, Guarantor waives any claim, remedy or rights that Guarantor may now
have or may hereafter acquire against Borrower or any guarantor of all or any of the Obligations, including, without limitation:
(i) any rights of subrogation and contribution, (ii) any rights of reimbursement, (iii) any rights of performance, (iv) any rights
of exoneration and/or any rights of indemnification and (v) any rights to participate in any claim or remedy that Bank of America
has against Borrower or any collateral that Bank of America now has or hereafter acquire for the Obligations (including, without
limitation, the Pledged Mortgage Loans), whether or not such claim, remedy or rights arise in equity or under contract, statute
or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the rights to take or receive from Borrower,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim,
remedy or rights (such rights, collectively, the “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”). If, notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (A) such amount
is paid to Guarantor at any time when there are outstanding Obligations or (B) regardless of when such amount is paid to Guarantor,
any payment made by Borrower to Bank of America is at any time determined to be a preferential payment, then such amount paid to
Guarantor shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of Bank of America and shall immediately be paid to Bank of America
to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order and manner as Bank of America,
in its sole discretion, shall determine.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		(b)	Waiver Regarding Application of Payments. Guarantor irrevocably waives any rights that Guarantor
may now have or may hereafter acquire to require Bank of America to apply any amounts received by Bank of America from whatever
source on account of the Obligations in any order or application, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that
any amounts received by Bank of America from whatsoever source on account of the Obligations may be applied by Bank of America
toward the payment of such of the Obligations, and in such order of payment and application, as Bank of America may from time to
time elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

		(c)	Waiver of Notice, Presentment, Demand and Similar Rights. Guarantor irrevocably waives any
rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire with respect to all presentments, demands for performance, protests
and notices, including, without limitation, notices of non-performance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance
of this Guaranty and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Obligations.

 

		(d)	Waiver of Priority of Collection and Election of Remedies. Guarantor irrevocably waives
any rights that Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire to require Bank of America to: (i) proceed against Borrower or
any other party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in Bank of America’s
power whatsoever. Bank of America may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy Bank of America may have against Borrower
without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent the Obligations have
been indefeasibly paid in full. Without expanding any rights of subrogation which Guarantor may possess as set forth in subsection
(a) above, Guarantor understands that the exercise by Bank of America of certain rights and remedies contained in the Loan Agreement
may affect or eliminate any such rights of subrogation against Borrower and that Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally
non-reimbursable liability hereunder, nevertheless, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Bank of America to exercise, in its
sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may be available to Bank of America, since it is the
intent and purpose of Guarantor that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are absolute. Guarantor irrevocably waives all rights
and any defenses arising out of any such election of remedies by Bank of America, even though such election of remedies, such as
a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an Obligation, operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Borrower or any guarantor of the Obligations or any security.

 

		(e)	Waiver of Defenses. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor irrevocably waives
any defense based on or arising out of any defense of Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without
limitation, any defense based upon or arising out of the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause,
or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations.

 

		(f)	Waiver of Termination. Guarantor irrevocably waives any right it has to terminate or revoke
the continuing nature of this Guaranty and its application to any Obligations.

 

		(g)	Waiver of Certain Statutory Rights. Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by Borrower
or other circumstance that operate to toll any statute of limitations as to Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations
as to Guarantor.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		(h)	Subordination if Any Waiver is Invalid or Void. Guarantor further agrees that to the extent
that any waiver of the rights described in this Guaranty is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, invalid,
void or voidable for any reason, any rights that Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral (including, without
limitation, the Pledged Mortgage Loans) or security related to all or some of the Obligations, and any rights Guarantor may have
against any guarantor of all or some of the Obligations, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights that Bank of America may
have against Borrower, any collateral (including, without limitation, the Pledged Mortgage Loans) or security or any other guarantor
of all or some of the Obligations, and no such rights shall be exercised by Guarantor until such time as Bank of America shall
have received indefeasible payment of the full amount of all Obligations and any obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

		7.	Subordination of Debt and Obligations; Receipt of Payments. Any indebtedness or obligations
of (i) Borrower to Guarantor or (ii) any guarantor of all or some of the Obligations to Guarantor, now or hereafter existing, is
hereby subordinated to the obligations of Borrower to Bank of America. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement and for as long as such event is occurring, Guarantor agrees that, until the Obligations have been fully satisfied, it
will not seek, accept or retain for its own accounts, any payment from Borrower or any such guarantor on account of such subordinated
debt. Any payments received by Guarantor on account of such subordinated debt during such Event of Default shall be collected and
received in trust for Bank of America and shall be immediately paid over by Guarantor to Bank of America without impairing or releasing
the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

 

		8.	Release of Guarantor.

 

		(a)	Release of Guarantor’s Obligations. This Guaranty shall in all respects be continuing,
absolute and unconditional, and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to Guarantor until all Obligations shall have
been fully satisfied and paid and Bank of America shall have executed and delivered to Guarantor an express written release or
cancellation of this Guaranty. No compromise, settlement, release or discharge of, or indulgence with respect to, or failure, neglect
or omission to enforce or exercise any right against Guarantor, or the fact that at any time or from time to time all the Obligations
may have been paid in full, shall release or discharge Guarantor.

 

		(b)	Release of Liability. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent
of any security for or other guarantee of the Obligations, whether executed by Guarantor or by any other party, and the liability
of Guarantor hereunder is not affected, impaired or released by (i) any direction of application of payment by Borrower or by any
other party; (ii) any other guarantee, undertaking or maximum liability of Guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations;
(iii) any payment on or in reduction of any other guarantor of all or some of the Obligations; (iv) any revocation or release of
any obligations of any other guarantor of all or some of the Obligations; (v) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease
or change in personnel of Borrower; (vi) any payment made to Bank of America on the Obligations that is required to be repaid to
Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding,
and Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder by reason of any such
proceeding; (vii) any acceptance by Bank of America of any security or collateral for, or other guarantors or obligors upon, any
Obligation; (viii) any change, modification or amendment of the Loan Agreement (other than one which expressly reduces the Obligations
under this Guaranty or the amount due under the Loan Agreement); (ix) any failure, neglect or omission to perfect, protect, secure
or insure any of the foregoing security interests, liens or encumbrances or the properties, or interest in properties, subject
thereto; (x) an increase in the individual or aggregate transaction limits in excess of the amounts initially set forth in the
Loan Agreement; (xi) any change in Borrower’s name or legal structure or the merger of Borrower into another legal entity
or (xii) any act or omission of any kind or at any time upon the part of Bank of America with respect to any matter whatsoever,
other than the execution and delivery by Bank of America to Guarantor of an express written release or cancellation of this Guaranty.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		9.	Financial Statements. Guarantor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Bank
of America those financial statements or other reports of Guarantor which are required to be delivered to Bank of America by Borrower
under the Loan Agreement; including, without limitation, the financial statements and reports to be delivered under Section 9.1
of the Loan Agreement. Guarantor represents and warrants that the financial statements provided to Bank of America on or prior
to the date of this Guaranty, and the financial statements provided on any date subsequently requested by Bank of America, have
in each case been prepared in conformity with GAAP consistently applied and present fairly the financial position and assets and
liabilities of Guarantor as of the date and period specified therein. Guarantor further agrees that it shall not (a) sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of for less than fair value without prior written notice to, and the consent of, Bank of America or (b) pledge
or encumber to any person or entity without prior written notice to, and the consent of Bank of America, all or substantially all
of the assets of Guarantor represented on any such financial statement.

 

		10.	Representations and Warranties of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby represents, warrants
and covenants to Bank of America that:

in which it is formed.

		(f)	The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not violate in any material respect
any requirement of law or contractual obligation of Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such requirement of
law or contractual obligation.

 

		(g)	Guarantor will not declare or pay any dividends upon any shares of Guarantor’s stock now or
hereafter outstanding, except dividends payable in the capital stock or stock rights of Guarantor, or make any distribution of
assets to its stockholders including, without limitation, pursuant to any stock repurchase, whether in cash, property or securities
if; at the date of such payment or distribution, there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or Potential Default
under the Loan Agreement.

 

		(h)	There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, or before or
by any court, public board or body pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor (or, to

		11.	Events of Default. It is hereby understood and agreed that an Event of Default under
Section 11.1(p) of the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) Guarantor shall default in the payment of any amount

		12.	Authorization for Background Information. For as long as this Guaranty is in effect,
Guarantor authorizes Bank of America to conduct periodic background investigations regarding Guarantor at any time and for any
reason without further authorization from Guarantor, including, without limitation, obtaining an updated consumer report(s) about
Guarantor from a credit reporting agency.

 

		13.	Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder
or under the Loan Agreement or the failure by Borrower or Guarantor to timely perform any of the Obligations in accordance with
the Loan Agreement or this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank of America at any time and from time to time
after the Obligations are due from Borrower, without notice to Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor,

and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Bank of America to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor, or any part
thereof in such amounts as Bank of America may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to
Bank of America hereunder, whether or not Bank of America has made any demand for payment. Bank of America shall notify Guarantor
promptly of any such set-off and the application made by Bank of America; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Bank of America under this Section 13 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such parties may have.

 

		14.	Reserved.

 

		15.	General.

and Bank of America, is the final expression of its intentions and supersedes all negotiations, representations, warranties, commitments,
offers, contracts (of any kind or nature, whether oral or written) prior to or contemporaneous with the execution hereof. No prior
or contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings, offers or agreements of any kind or nature, whether oral or written,
have been made by Bank of America or relied upon by Guarantor in connection with the execution hereof. Each provision and agreement
herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding
the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

		(f)	No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No right or power of Bank of America hereunder shall be
deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Bank of America, or by any neglect to exercise such right or power,
or by any delay in so doing, and every right or power shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived or released
by an instrument in writing executed by Bank of America. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised
singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

 

		(g)	Borrower’s Financial Condition. Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and

		(h)	Taxes. All payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made without set-off
or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deductions for any present or future taxes, fees, withholdings or conditions
