 (xxii) Other

(c) Initiation. 

(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, with respect to any proposed Transaction for Eligible Mortgage Loans, as
soon as available, but in no event later than [***] prior to a proposed Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i) a Transaction Notice, (ii) an Asset Schedule, and (iii) the Underwriting Package and any other related
information available to Seller at that time which, collectively, shall identify the proposed Mortgage Loan(s) for purchase, the material characteristics of such Mortgage Loan(s) and the characteristics of the Purchased Assets. Seller shall also
deliver to Buyer such other information as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer to assess such Mortgage Loan(s). Seller shall involve Buyer in all aspects of due diligence as Buyer shall deem necessary in its sole discretion. Buyer shall have
the right to review the information set forth on the Asset Schedule and the Eligible Mortgage Loans proposed to be subject to a Transaction as Buyer determines during normal business hours. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a confirmation in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto (each a “Confirmation”) no later than [***] prior to a proposed Purchase Date and such Confirmation shall set forth for such Transaction (A) the Purchase Date, (B) the aggregate Purchase
Price, (C) the Repurchase Date, (D) the Pricing Rate applicable to the Purchase Price, (E) the Purchase Price Percentage, and (F) additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement, confirming the terms agreed
upon between Buyer and Seller for such Transaction and attaching the final Asset Schedule, and, if each of the conditions precedent in this Section 3 hereof have been met, as determined by Buyer, Buyer may in its sole
discretion, fund the related Purchase Price on the Purchase Date and such funding shall be deemed to be Buyer’s acceptance of the terms of the proposed Transaction set forth in the Confirmation. Seller shall execute and return the final
Confirmation to Buyer via e-mail on or prior to [***] (New York time) on the related Purchase Date. 

(ii) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction shall not be later than the then current Termination Date. 

(iii) Each Confirmation, together with this Repurchase Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the
Transaction(s) covered thereby. 

  
 26 

 (iv) No later than the date and time set forth in the Custodial Agreement,
Seller shall deliver to the Custodian the Asset File pertaining to each Eligible Mortgage Loan made subject to a Transaction. 

(v) Upon Buyer’s receipt of the Trust Receipt in accordance with the Custodial Agreement and subject to the provisions of
this Section 3, the aggregate Purchase Price will be made available to Seller (x) with respect to each Purchased Asset which is not a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, upon Buyer’s
receipt of the Trust Receipt in accordance with the Custodial Agreement (in any event on or prior to the related Purchase Date) by Buyer transferring, via wire transfer in the aggregate amount of such Purchase Prices in funds immediately available
in accordance with Section 9(b) and (y) with respect to each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, by Buyer transferring to the Disbursement Agent via wire transfer the aggregate amount of such
Purchase Price in funds immediately available; provided that to the extent funds are disbursed to the Disbursement Agent and a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan is not funded, such funds shall be refunded to Buyer
on the same Business Day by Disbursement Agent transferring, via wire transfer, in the aggregate amount of such Purchase Prices in funds immediately available. 

(vi) With respect to any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction, on the related
Purchase Date and on each Business Day following such Purchase Date, no later than the time set forth in the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to Buyer a schedule listing each Wet-Ink Mortgage
Loan with respect to which the complete Asset File has not been received by the Custodian (the “Wet-Aged Report”). 

(d) Optional Repurchase. Subject to the conditions herein, and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing,
Seller may cause the sale of Purchased Assets and effect an Optional Repurchase (as defined below) on any date in connection with such Optional Repurchase which is not made in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan. When
the Mortgage Loans are desired to be sold or otherwise transferred or liquidated by Seller (x) to a Take-Out Investor in an arm’s length all-cash transaction
or (y) in connection with a Capital Markets Transaction or other refinancing transaction that reduces the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price to zero (unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion) (an “Optional
Repurchase”), for net sale proceeds that are equal to or greater than the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loans, Seller shall give Buyer prior written notice thereof by [***] (New York time) at least [***] prior, which notice designates
the applicable Mortgage Loans and specifies the net sale proceeds expected from such sale; provided that the release of any Purchased Assets in accordance with this Section 3(d) shall not result in a Margin Deficit. If such
notice is given, Seller shall, or shall cause the Take-Out Investor to, make payment directly to the Buyer or the Nomura Account (at Buyer’s determination) in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price.

 (e) Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by reassignment to the Seller or their
designee of the Purchased Assets (and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof) against the
simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Mortgage Loan (but Liquidation Proceeds received by
Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets on each Remittance Date except as otherwise provided herein). Seller is obligated to obtain the Asset Files from Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the
Repurchase Date. 

  
 27 

 (f) Mandatory Repurchase. 

(i) If at any time there has occurred a Purchased Asset Issue with respect to any Purchased Asset, then the Asset Value thereof
shall automatically be reduced to zero (unless otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller detailing the basis by which Buyer has determined that such Purchased Asset Issue
has occurred (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Repurchase Notice”), require Seller to repurchase such asset. In the case of a repurchase, Seller, shall, at Buyer’s direction, be required to repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan as soon as is practicable but, in any case, not more than [***] after Buyer has delivered such Repurchase Notice to Seller. Seller shall be required to notify Buyer as soon as is practicable after obtaining knowledge of any
fact that could be the basis for any Purchased Asset Issue, but, in any case, not more than [***] after obtaining knowledge thereof. For the sake of clarity, Seller shall ensure that such Repurchase Price (including without limitation any related
expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith) is remitted directly to Buyer and not pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Any cash remitted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be credited
and applied to the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset and any other amounts then due and payable by Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset. 

(ii) Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to send a Repurchase Notice at any time a Purchased Asset
is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan shall not in any way limit or impair its right to send a Repurchase Notice at a later time. 
 (g)
LIBOR Rate Breakage Costs. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 16 hereof, the Seller agrees that if any Repurchase Price is paid other than in connection with an ordinary course
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan and such Repurchase Price is paid on a date other than on a Remittance Date, the Seller shall, upon demand by the Buyer, pay to the Buyer any such amounts as are reasonable to compensate the Buyer for any additional
losses (not including lost profits), costs or expenses which the Buyer will incur as a result of such payments, including, without limitation, any hedge breakage costs. 

(h) Alternative Rate. If prior to any Remittance Date, Buyer determines in its sole discretion that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the LIBOR Rate is no longer in existence, or the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer
has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer may give prompt written notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing
Rate for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) (any
such rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor 

  
 28 

 
Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. Any such determination of the Successor Rate and any Successor Rate conforming changes shall be made by Buyer consistent
with its determinations with respect to other repurchase facilities that are substantially the same with similarly situated counterparties and with substantially similar assets subject thereto; provided, that the foregoing shall only apply to
repurchase transactions that are under the supervision of the New York structured finance group of Buyer that administers the Transactions. 

(i) Excess Concentration Amount. If, as of any date of determination, the Repurchase Price (excluding any amounts calculated pursuant to
clause (B) of the definition thereof) of any type of Purchased Asset is in excess of any applicable Concentration Limit (such excess amount, the “Excess Concentration Amount”), then the Asset Value attributable to such Excess
Concentration Amount shall automatically be reduced to zero (unless otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller require Seller to reduce such Repurchase Price by remitting
such Excess Concentration Amount to Buyer within [***] of Seller’s receipt of such notice. 
 (j) Repurchase Price Adjustment
Amount. If, as of any date of determination, a Repurchase Price Adjustment Date occurs with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall remit the related Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount to Buyer within [***] following its receipt of written
notice thereof by Buyer. For the sake of clarity, following the payment of any Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount on any Repurchase Price Adjustment Date, all Purchased Assets then subject to a Transaction shall be in compliance with all applicable
Concentration Limits. 
 Section 4. Margin Amount Maintenance. 

(a) At any time a Margin Deficit exists in excess of [***], then Buyer may, by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth
below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee, cash or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, Additional Acceptable Assets to cure such Margin Deficit (such amount or Additional Acceptable Assets, the
“Margin Payment”). 
 (b) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(a) may be given by any written or
electronic means. Any Margin Deficit notice given before [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Payment received, no later than [***] (New York City time) on the following Business Day. If notice is
made after [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Margin Payment shall be received by Buyer at [***] (New York City time) on the second following Business Day. 

(c) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its failure to send a
Margin Call notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan, or at any time there exists a Margin Deficit, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer
to do so at a later date, or in any way create additional rights for Seller. 
 (d) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to
Section 4(a) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions. 

  
 29 

 Section 5. Income Payments. 

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes
except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued and unpaid Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) on the Remittance Date. If Seller fails to pay all or part of the
Price Differential then due by [***] (New York time) on any Remittance Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential then due is received in full by Buyer. 

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause Servicer to, hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income, including, without limitation, all
Income received by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall cause the Servicer to deposit all such Income received on account of the Purchased Assets serviced, subserviced or managed by Servicer in the related
Collection Account, in accordance with the applicable Servicer Notice. To the extent that Seller is holding any Income, Seller shall deposit such Income on receipt into the Nomura Account. To the extent such deposits are insufficient to cover the
full Price Differential due on the next Remittance Date, Seller shall deposit funds into the Nomura Account sufficient to cover such shortfall. 

(c) Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to Collection Account all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets (such instruction shall be set
forth in the Servicer Notice and shall be irrevocable without the prior written consent of Buyer) no later than, [***] of the application by Servicer in Servicer’s system of such collections in respect of the Purchased Assets, which in any
event shall be no later than within [***] of receipt of such collections. All Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer except for tax purposes which shall be treated as income and property of Seller and when
deposited into the Collection Account and Nomura Account, respectively, shall not be commingled with other property of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller; provided, however, that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the
Servicer as agent of the Seller shall have access to Income to make any permitted withdrawals in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement as modified by the Servicer Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the
other Facility Documents to the contrary, Seller shall not at any time have access to the Collection Account and Seller shall not issue any instructions or directions to the Collection Account Bank with respect to the Collection Account. 

(d) No later than [***] prior to each Remittance Date, Seller shall cause Servicer as agent of Seller to cause the Collection Account Bank to
remit to the Nomura Account all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account. Funds on deposit in the Nomura Account shall be applied by Buyer on each Remittance Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as follows:  

(A) first, pro rata, to Custodian and Disbursement Agent on account of any accrued and unpaid custodial and disbursement agent
fees, and to the Collection Account Bank on account of any accrued and unpaid fees, unless Seller is paying such fees directly; 

(B) second, to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Remittance Date;

  
 30 

 (C) third, to Buyer on account of unpaid fees, expenses, LIBOR Rate breakage
costs, indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to the Buyer from Seller under the Agreement; 
 (D) fourth, to pay to
Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Margin Deficit (without giving effect to any notice period) and without limiting Seller’s obligation to satisfy a Margin Deficit in a timely manner as required by
Section 4) and any accrued and unpaid Excess Concentration Amount and Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount; 

(E) fifth, all remaining amounts (if any), to the Seller. 

(e) Reserved. 
 (f) To the
extent that Buyer receives any funds from a Take-out Investor with respect to the purchase by such Take-out Investor of a Mortgage Loan (“Disposition
Proceeds”), the Buyer shall promptly apply such funds to the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loans purchased by such Take-out Investor, any Margin Deficit, and shall promptly remit any excess to
Seller. 
 (g) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred, all funds in the Collection Account and
Waterfall Account shall be withdrawn and applied to payment of Seller’s Obligations hereunder as determined by Buyer until all such Obligations have been paid in full, and thereafter to Seller. 

Section 6. Requirements of Law. 

(a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or
change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof; 
 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer
which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on Buyer any other
condition; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering,
continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will
compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor. 

  
 31 

 (b) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of
Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to
time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction, within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor. 

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

Section 7. Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be
made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax)
with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required
under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and
withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and
(iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this
Section 7) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this
Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received
payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes). 

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or
similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 

  
 32 

 (c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full
amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable by Seller under this
Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this
Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or
asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor. 

(d) [Reserved]. 
 (e) For
purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for
avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include
“Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents: 

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person or is a
foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which Buyer
claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or 
 (ii) in the case of an individual,
(x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a
“Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or 

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United
States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or 

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of
the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

 (v) in the case of a Non-Exempt
Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a
complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and
(y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax
purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; provided, however, that no such
documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury
regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall be
provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or 
 (vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; or 

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and
(B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all
required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each
person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Buyer. 

If Buyer has provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) above and the form provided by Buyer either at the time Buyer first becomes a party
to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other
than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the Effective Date) a Person becomes an assignee,
successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or
additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional
indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes. 

  
 34 

 (f) For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the
appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 7 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or
application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer, or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Buyer to deliver
such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to
Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded
Taxes. 
 (g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller
contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other
information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. 
 (h) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for
purposes of U.S. federal, and relevant state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat the Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Assets as owned by Seller for federal income tax purposes
in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law. 

Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. 
 (a) Security Interest. On the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells,
assigns and conveys to Buyer all right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets to the extent of its rights therein. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes)
and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges on the date hereof to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations and hereby grants,
assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Seller’s rights, title and interest in the Purchased Assets (including any Additional Acceptable Assets that are Purchased Assets), any other Additional Acceptable Assets
transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Records, all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets (to the extent of Seller’s rights therein), all Take-out
Commitments, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, all insurance policies
and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or any related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, any Income relating to any Purchased Asset, each
Collection Account, the Disbursement Account, the Servicing Agreements, 

  
 35 

 
and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and
general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Assets or any interest in the Purchased Assets, as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Asset Detail and Exception Report, and any proceeds and
distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase
Assets”). 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual
Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or
hereafter created, on or prior to the related Repurchase Date. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined
under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or
statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem reasonable and appropriate. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

 The grants of security interest set forth in this Section are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other
credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Section 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller, and in the
name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be
reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby give Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller
without assent by, but with notice to, Seller if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following: 

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

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

  
 36 

 (iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any
Repurchase Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, any payment agent with respect to any Repurchase Asset; (B) to send
“goodbye” letters on behalf of Seller and Servicer; (C) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of
any Repurchase Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Repurchase Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in
equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Repurchase Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Repurchase Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with
respect to any Repurchase Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and
(H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Repurchase Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s
option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this
Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do. 
 Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit J hereto, to be delivered on the date
hereof. Seller and Buyer acknowledges that the Powers of Attorney shall terminate on the later of (a) the Termination Date and (b) the satisfaction in full of the Obligations. 

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided
for in Section 15 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets. 

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Repurchase Assets and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 9.
Payment, Transfer And Custody. 
 (a) Payments and Transfers of Funds. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all
transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer:
[***], [***], Account No. [***], for the account of Nomura Corporate Funding Americas LLC, ABA No. [***], ref: Funds for FAM, not later than [***] New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made
after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account. 

  
 37 

 (b) Remittance of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction,
ownership of the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (i) with respect to Purchased Assets that are not Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans, against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase
Price to such account as agreed to by Buyer and Seller, simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction and (ii) with respect to the Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans,
upon the disbursement of funds by the Disbursement Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement. Upon notice from the Settlement Agent to Seller and/or Buyer that any Wet-Ink Mortgage
Loan subject to a Transaction was not originated, the Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans and the Settlement Agent shall immediately return the related Purchase
Price funded by Buyer via wire transfer to the account of Buyer specified in Section 9(a) in accordance with the Escrow Instruction Letter. Seller shall immediately notify Buyer if a
Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan was not originated and has been removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans. 

Section 10. Hypothecation or Pledge of Purchased Assets(i) . Title to all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets shall pass to
Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer, at no additional cost to Seller, from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledging,
repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller; provided, however, that Buyer is
obligated to return the specific Purchased Assets upon repurchase by Seller. 
 Section 11. Fees. Seller shall pay to Buyer in
immediately available funds, all fees due and owing as and when set forth in the Pricing Side Letter. The fees are non-refundable, and such payment shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds,
without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account designated by Buyer. 

Section 12. Representations.    Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the Purchase Date of any
Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Facility Documents and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect: 

(a) Acting as Principal. Seller will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by
the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal). 
 (b) [Reserved]. 

  
 38 

 (c) Solvency. Neither the Facility Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are
entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. The transfer of the Purchased Assets subject hereto is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of
Seller’s creditors. Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) and the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant hereto (i) will not cause Seller to become insolvent, (ii) will not result in
any property remaining with Seller to be unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer
and sale of the Purchased Assets. 
 (d) No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other
person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where failure so to qualify
would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (g) Financial
Statements. Seller has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of (a) the Financial Statements of Seller for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 with the opinion thereon of BDO USA, LLP and (b) consolidated balance sheet and the
consolidated balance sheets for Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such monthly periods up until June 30, 2019 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings for Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for
such monthly periods. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of Seller and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and the consolidated results of their
operations as at such dates and for such monthly periods, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since June 30, 2019, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition
of Seller or its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Seller aware of any state of facts which (without notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse
change or could have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has, on June 30, 2019, no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or
long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Seller except

 39 

 (h) No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Facility Documents
nor (b) the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated to be entered into by Seller in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in (i) a breach of the organizational documents of Seller, or
(ii) a breach of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or (iii) a breach of any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or (iv) a breach of other material agreement or instrument to which Seller or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their Property is bound or to which any of them is subject, or (v) a default under any such material agreement or instrument, or (vi) the creation or imposition of any Lien
(except for the Liens created pursuant to the Facility Documents) upon any Property of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument. 

(i) Action. Seller has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under each of the Facility Documents, as applicable; the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of each of the Facility Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on its part; and each Facility Document has
been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller. 
 (j) Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no filings
or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or any securities exchange are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by Seller of the Facility Documents or for the legality, validity or enforceability thereof, except for filings and
recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant to the Facility Documents.

other Facility Documents executed and delivered by Seller in connection herewith are legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller and are enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by
(i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity. 

(l) Agency Matters. Seller is approved by Fannie Mae as an approved lender and Freddie Mac as an approved seller/servicer, and, to the
extent necessary, approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act (such collective approvals, “Agency Approvals”). Seller is in good standing, with no
event having occurred or being reasonably likely to occur, including, without limitation, a change in insurance coverage which would either make Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals
or require a waiver from any Agency. 
 (m) Material Adverse Effect. Since June 30, 2019, there has been no development or
event nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any prospective development or event, which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(n) No Default. No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(o) No Adverse Selection. Seller has not selected the Purchased Assets in a manner so as to adversely affect Buyer’s interests.

  
 40 

 (p) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations (including,
without limitation, any of the foregoing which are pending or threatened in writing) or other legal or arbitrable proceedings affecting Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of the Property of any of them before any Governmental
Authority that (i) questions or challenges the validity or enforceability of any of the Facility Documents or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) except as disclosed in writing to Buyer
prior to the Closing Date, makes a claim in an aggregate amount greater than [***] (other than such actions arising under normal due course, including foreclosure actions) or (iii) which, individually or in the aggregate, could be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (q) Margin Regulations. The use of all funds acquired by Seller under this Agreement will
not conflict with or contravene any of Regulations T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified.

Asset and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens, in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the sale to Buyer hereunder. 

(iii) The provisions of this Agreement are effective to either constitute a sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer or to create
in favor of Buyer a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Assets. The provisions of this Agreement are effective to either constitute a sale of the Repurchase Assets to Buyer or to create

(i) No liability under Section 4062, 4063, 4064 or 4069 of ERISA has been or is expected by Seller to be incurred by
Seller or any ERISA Affiliate thereof with respect to any Plan which is a Single-Employer Plan in an amount that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(ii) No Plan which is a Single-Employer Plan had an accumulated funding deficiency, whether or not waived, as of the [***] of

deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing (whereupon such Event of Default shall be deemed to be not continuing): 

(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if
no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Seller), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is
exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”). 

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section, 

(A) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the
Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subsection (a)(i) of this Section, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied
to the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder, and (3) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control; and

 (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction (determined as
of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed
exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase
Date as determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section. 

  
 53 

 (iii) Upon the occurrence and continuance of one or more Events of Default,
Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets related thereto which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller
or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in Facility Documents. 

(iv) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer, or Buyer through its Affiliates or designees, may
(A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such
Purchased Assets, to retain such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets (as determined and adjusted by the Buyer in its sole discretion, giving such weight to
the Market Value or outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset as Buyer deems appropriate) against the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Facility Documents.
The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to the foregoing shall be applied as determined by Buyer until all Obligations are paid in full, and Buyer shall pay any remainder to Seller. 

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual expenses, including reasonable documented reasonable
legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or hedging transactions, and (C) any other actual
loss, damage, cost or expense arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default. 
 (vi) Promptly upon
Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide, at Seller’s cost, an updated Appraisal for each Purchased Asset. 
 (b) The Seller
acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and
(B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. The Seller recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a
transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Seller agrees that
liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a

  
 54 

 
commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole good faith discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, and nothing
contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets in the same
manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter
without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have. 

(c) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any
defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process,
enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the
result of a bargain at arm’s length. 
 (d) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights
available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to
specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary
damages. 
 (e) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies
provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the
extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the
proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. 

Section 16. Indemnification and Expenses. 

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified
Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of counsel, and Taxes relating to or arising in connection with the
ownership of the Purchased Assets, but excluding any Taxes otherwise addressed in Section 7 of this Agreement) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to
or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document 

  
 55 

 
or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or
any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt “Costs” shall include Taxes that represent
losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such
Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Purchased Assets, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an

Legal Expense Cap shall not apply if any extensive delays, unreasonable negotiations, unanticipated issues or structural changes occur during such development, preparation or execution. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of any amendment, supplement

 Section 17.
Servicing. 
 (a) Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with one or more Servicers to service and/or subservice the Mortgage
Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Servicers customarily require with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by such Servicers and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall
(i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing and/or subservicing responsibilities hereunder, (iii) be an approved
servicer by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in each case in good standing and (iv) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder. Buyer may terminate the servicing and/or subservicing of any Mortgage Loan with the
then existing servicer and/or subservicer in accordance with the related Servicer Notice. The Servicing Agreement shall not be materially amended without the written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion;
provided that the Seller shall provide the Buyer with written notice of any amendment of the Servicing Agreement, including a copy of such amendment. 

(b) Seller shall ensure that Servicer has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for
the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. 

(c) Seller shall cause the Servicer and any interim servicer to deposit all collections received by Seller on account of the Purchased Assets
in the Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b). 
 (d) As compensation for its services under the Servicing
Agreement the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible to pay all the fees and expenses of the Servicer out of the Servicing Fee or its own funds. 

(e) The Seller shall provide promptly to the Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased
Assets. 
 (f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate
the Servicer’s rights to service the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Servicer Notice. Seller and Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing and/or subservicing of the Purchased Assets to
a successor servicer and/or subservicer selected by Buyer in its sole discretion. If a Servicer Termination Event has occurred but an Event of Default has not yet occurred, the Seller shall select a successor servicer and/or subservicer within [***]
following the earlier of Seller’s receipt of notice or knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, subject to such successor servicer or subservicer being approved by Buyer in its sole discretion exercised in good faith. 

  
 57 

 (g) If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to
Seller by contract for managing, servicing or subservicing any such Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Mortgage Loans,
Seller shall promptly notify Buyer. 
 Section 18. Recording of Communications. Buyer and Seller shall have the right (but not
the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions upon notice to the other party of such recording. 

Section 19. Due Diligence. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect
to the Mortgage Loans, Seller and Servicer, including, without limitation, financial information, organization documents, business plans, purchase agreements and underwriting purchase models for each pool of Mortgage Loans and such other information
regarding such Persons or the Purchased Assets that Buyer may request and Seller, Servicer or such other Person shall have in their possession or control, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications
made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted
during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans (the “Due Diligence
Documents”) in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, Seller shall create and deliver to Buyer within [***] of such request, an electronic copy via email to [***], in a format
acceptable to Buyer, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Mortgage
Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to review and approval of the Third Party Reviewer procedures, Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon a due diligence review prepared by a Third Party Reviewer with respect to Mortgage Loans that are Non-Agency Loans so long as (x) Buyer receives such due diligence review directly from such Third Party Reviewer and (y) such due diligence review was conducted within [***] of the related Purchase Date,
or such other time period as agreed between the Buyer and the Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from Seller and enter into additional Transactions with respect to
the Mortgage Loans based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial
or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting.
Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and the Third Party Reviewer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and the Third Party Reviewer and any

  
 58 

 
third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller.
Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all outofpocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 19; provided that such costs and expenses are in
connection with such activities that are incremental to the due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans performed by Seller and described in the related due diligence materials delivered by Seller to Buyer (upon which Buyer may
rely).    Buyer may, based on such due diligence, require to change contractual terms and add protections it deems, in its absolute discretion, necessary to protect its rights in the Mortgage Loans. 

Section 20. Assignability. 

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior
written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. At no additional cost to Seller, Buyer may, upon at least
[***] notice to Seller, from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents to any Person pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee
(“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the
percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be
released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may
distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller. 
 (b) At no additional cost to
Seller, Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person; provided, however, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 7; provided that no such restrictions shall apply with respect to any sale to any Affiliate of Buyer or if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided further that Buyer shall act as agent for all purchasers, assignees and point of contact for Seller pursuant to agency provisions to be agreed upon by Buyer, its intended purchasers
and/or assignees and Seller. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 31 hereof to the contrary, Buyer
may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 20, deliver a copy of this Agreement to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant and disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by
or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 59 

 (d) In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities. 

Section 21. Transfer and Maintenance of Register. 

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 21, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.
Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 21 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with Section 21(b) hereof. 
 (b) Buyer, as agent for Seller, shall maintain a
register (the “Register”) on which it will record Buyer’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors
and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned or participated. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. If
Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall provide Seller, or maintain as agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller to comply with its
obligations under this Agreement or under any applicable Requirement of Law. 
 Section 22. Tax Treatment. Each party to this
Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are
owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law. 

Section 23. Set-Off. 

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such
notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), 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 or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such
set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 

  
 60 

 (b) Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines
otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred. 

Section 24. Terminability. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or
pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading,
notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 16
hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 25. Notices And Other Communications. Except as otherwise
expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing
(including without limitation by telecopy) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Section 3 (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such
communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopy or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. In all cases, to the extent that the related
individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or
individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person. 
 Section 26. Entire Agreement;
Severability; Single Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement, together with the Facility Documents, constitute the entire understanding
between Buyer and Seller with respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions involving Purchased Assets. By acceptance of
this Agreement, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. 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. 

(b) Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in
reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and

  
 61 

 
Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it
in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) [reserved]; (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments,
deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted and (iv) to promptly provide notice to
the other after any such set off or application.

 62 

 Section 29. No Waivers, etc. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise and no
delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Facility
Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. An Event of Default shall be deemed to be
continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing.

term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a
“master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in

hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to
assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a) Each Party further agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, the characterization of any Transaction

(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined
in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder
(except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 
 (d) It is understood that
this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment
obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar
as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). 

  
 65 

 (e) Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations
among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

 SCHEDULE 1 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS 

Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Purchase Date for the purchase
of any such Mortgage Loan by Buyer from Seller and at all times while the Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is
discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a
breach of the applicable representation and warranty.     
 (a) Data. The information on the Asset
Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such information. All information contained in the related Asset File and in the Underwriting Package in respect of the Mortgage Loans is accurate and complete in all
material respects. 
 (b) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including,
without limitation, legal capacity to contract, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure
Rule, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations by Seller or Servicer
of the Mortgage Loan shall maintain or Seller shall cause Servicer of such Mortgage Loan to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such
requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than with respect to Investor Mortgage Loans, if the related Mortgagor’s loan application for such Mortgage Loan was taken on or after October 3, 2015, such Mortgage
Loan was originated in compliance with the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule. 
 (c) Origination and Servicing Practices; No Escrow
Deposits. The origination and collection practices used by the originator, each servicer of the Mortgage Loan and Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable
laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and the servicing practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether such servicing was done by the Seller, its
affiliates, or any third-party subservicer or servicing agent of any of the foregoing. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of Seller. All escrow payments have been
collected in full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any related Mortgage Loan Document. Any interest
required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited. 

  
 Schedule 1-1 

 (d) Ownership. Seller has good and marketable title and full right to sell the
Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other
party, to sell each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest except any such security interest created or expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Valid First
Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected with respect to each Mortgage Loan, first priority lien and first priority security interest on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on
the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the
foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to: 
 a. the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet
due and payable; 
 b. covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public
record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the title insurance policy delivered to Seller and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made
for to Seller or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraisal Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; 

c. other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. 
 Any security agreement,
chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and
Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien
subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage, except in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. 
 (f) Original Terms
Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the
interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent
required, and its terms are reflected on the Asset Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required
by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Asset File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. 

  
 Sch. 1-2 

 (g) Mortgage Recorded; Assignments of Mortgage. Except as provided in paragraph
(e) above, each original Mortgage was recorded or submitted for recordation in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been delivered in the appropriate form for
recording in all jurisdictions in which such recordation is necessary to perfect the ownership of the Mortgage by the owner thereof against creditors of the Seller or is in the process of being recorded. With respect to each Mortgage that
constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the mortgagee to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of the name of
the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form (other than the name of the assignee if in blank) and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to
each MERS Mortgage Loan, (i) the related Mortgage and Assignment of Mortgage have been duly and properly recorded in the name of MERS or its designee or have been delivered for recording to the applicable recording office and (ii) a
mortgage identification number has been assigned by MERS and such mortgage identification number is accurately provided on the Asset Schedule (or is otherwise provided to Buyer). The related Assignment of Mortgage to MERS has been duly and properly
recorded. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller has not received any notice of liens that are senior to the related Mortgage or legal actions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and no such notices have been electronically posted by
MERS. 
 (h) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or to the best of Seller’s knowledge
threatened, that is related to the Mortgage Loan and likely to affect materially and adversely such Mortgage Loan. 
 (i) No Outstanding
Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an
amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the
Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to
the day which precedes by [***] the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder. 
 (j) No Defenses. The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any
right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage
Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. The Mortgagor did not have a prior bankruptcy and did not previously own property that was the subject of a foreclosure
during the time the Mortgagor was the owner of record. Seller has no 

  
 Sch. 1-3 

 
knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Seller has no knowledge of any
circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment,
cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan. 
 (k) No
Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument
been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan
to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.  
 (l) No
Consents. Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the documents governing such Mortgage Loan, no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale
and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Mortgage Loan, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Mortgage Loan or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Mortgage Loan. No third party holds any
“right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies
with respect to such Mortgage Loan. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority over Seller is required for any
transfer or assignment by the holder of such Mortgage Loan. 
 (m) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its
terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note,
the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the
part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in connection with the sale of such Mortgage Loan to Buyer. Seller has
reviewed all of the documents constituting the Asset File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. Except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications
and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed. 

  
 Sch. 1-4 

 (n) Environmental Compliance. There does not exist on the Mortgaged Property any
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, solid wastes or other pollutants, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., the Solid
Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq., or other applicable federal, state or local environmental laws including, without limitation, asbestos, in each case in excess
of the permitted limits and allowances set forth in such environmental laws to the extent such laws are applicable to the Mortgaged Property. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with
any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any applicable environmental law (including, without limitation, asbestos), rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be
done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property 

(o) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in any State in the United States of America or District
of Columbia acceptable pursuant to applicable Underwriting Guidelines as identified in the Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a
two- to four-family dwelling. 
 (p) Mortgaged Property
Undamaged. Unless required repairs were identified at the time of origination and appropriate set-asides have been made for such repairs, to the best of the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged
Property is in good repair and undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, hurricane, tornado, mold or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or
the use for which the premises were intended. 
 (q) No Condemnation. There is no proceeding pending or to the best of the
Seller’s knowledge threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property. 
 (r) Consolidation of
Principal Advances. Any principal advances made have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate reflected on the Asset
Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the principal amount (as expressed on the related Mortgage Note) is insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Buyer. 
 (s) No Fraud. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation,
negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, the Mortgagor, the appraiser, any servicer or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan or in connection with the sale of such Mortgage Loan to the Buyer. 
 (t)
Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and
loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no
more than [***] after funds were disbursed in connection 

  
 Sch. 1-5 

 
with the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature. The Mortgagor contributed at least [***] of the purchase price for the Mortgaged Property from their own funds, except as
permitted under the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. Interest on the Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360day year consisting of twelve 30day months. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Interest Rate is
adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the index plus the fixed percentage amount, in each case as set forth in the related Mortgage Note (rounded up or down to the nearest [***]), subject to the limit on each Mortgage Interest Rate
adjustment as set forth in the related Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is payable on the [***] in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to
change on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity
date, over an original term of not more than [***] from commencement of amortization. 
 (u) Capitalization of Interest. The Mortgage
Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest. 
 (v) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property
is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination
consistent with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) [***] of
the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the
Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any
federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance
carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance
available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller,
its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by
Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the
policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and
binding obligation of the insurer and 

  
 Sch. 1-6 

 
is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the
benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received,
retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 

(w) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. There is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan, and any and all
requirements as to completion of any onsite or offsite improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. All broker fees have been properly disclosed to the Mortgagor and no claims will arise as to broker fees that are
double charged and for which the Mortgagor would be entitled to reimbursement. 
 (x) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by
either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or
(ii) an American Land Title Association lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Buyer, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title
insurer acceptable to Buyer, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as
applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph (e) of this Schedule 1,
and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment.
Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress
and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey
exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and
remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of
the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful
compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. 

  
 Sch. 1-7 

 (y) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims
which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
Mortgage. 
 (z) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraisal Value
of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation. 
 (aa) Underwriting Standards.
Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, unless otherwise approved by Buyer. 
 (bb)
Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a
Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no
homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person, or restriction on the Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance,
attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of the Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related
Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the ability of the Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Buyer,
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. 
 (cc) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral
except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement and chattel mortgage referred to in paragraph (e) above or other collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents. There
are, as of origination date and as of the Purchase Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property, and equipment and other personal property financing). No mezzanine debt is
secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor. 
 (dd)
Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the
Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder. 
 (ee) Proceeds of Mortgage
Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have not been and shall not be used to satisfy, in whole or in part, any debt owed or owing by the Mortgagor to Seller or any Affiliate or correspondent of Seller, except in connection with a refinanced
Mortgage Loan. 

  
 Sch. 1-8 

 (ff) No Equity Participation. No document relating to the Mortgage Loan provides for
any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property. The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not convertible
to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor and no Seller has financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor. 

(gg) Single Interest Rate; Consolidated Principal Amount. The secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate
and single repayment term. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. 
 (hh)
Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan Documents do not provide for the release of any related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan,
(b) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation or a material casualty, or (c) in connection with a substitution of collateral within the parameters specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents. 

(ii) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage
Note have been made and credited. On the related Purchase Date, the Mortgage Loan (i) is [***] Delinquent with respect to any payment of principal or interest or otherwise not in default, and (ii) the Mortgagor is not subject as a debtor
under a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, nor is the related Mortgaged Property involved in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. The Mortgagor is not subject to an Insolvency Event. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have
been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note. 

(jj) Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in
accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither Seller nor
Any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof. 

(kk) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law (and
in the case of Investor Mortgage Loans by a Person other than the owner of such Mortgaged Property). All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with
respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received notification from any
Governmental Authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material noncompliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may
be. Seller has not received notice of any 

  
 Sch. 1-9 

 
violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Investor Mortgage Loan) originated
with an “owneroccupied” Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence. 

(ll) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering
laws and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination or purchase of each Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to the orders or the regulations promulgated by OFAC
or in violation of the orders or OFAC regulations, and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such orders or OFAC regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC regulations. 

(mm) Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct
legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or
well and septic) and electricity all of which are appropriate for the current use of such Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of such Mortgaged Property or
is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy insuring such Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which
case the related Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which such Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created. 

(nn) Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and
applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the related Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. Each Mortgage Loan
requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. No Seller is aware of any Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor on the Mortgage Loan having received notice of any
noncompliance with any use or occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate with respect to any Mortgaged Property. 

(oo) Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of
the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against each related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure. 
 (pp) UCC Filings; Mortgage Recorded. Seller has recorded or caused to
be recorded (or, if not recorded, have been submitted in proper form for recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security
interest in any collateral for such Mortgage Loan to 

  
 Sch. 1-10 

 
the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording, as the case may be. The related Mortgage (or equivalent document) or other related collateral document creates a
valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above that may be perfected by recording. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent
that possession or control of such items or actions other than the recording of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. The Mortgage either has been or will promptly be submitted for recordation in the appropriate
recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located. 
 (qq) Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage
interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of each Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations
and other requirements pertaining to usury. No Mortgage Loan is subject to forfeiture or any material penalties as a result of non-compliance with any applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other
requirements pertaining to usury. 
 (rr) Complete Asset Files; Take-Out Investor. For each
Mortgage Loan (except with respect to Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans solely prior to the Wet-Ink Delivery Date), all of the required Mortgage Loan documents have been delivered
to the Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement and all Mortgage Loan documents necessary to foreclose on the Mortgaged Property are included in the Asset File delivered to the Custodian. No material documentation is missing from the
Asset File in possession of Custodian, unless such documentation is subject to a Servicer request for release of documents and a foreclosure attorney acknowledgment in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. Each of the documents and instruments
specified to be included in the Asset File is executed and in due and proper form, and each such document or instrument is in form acceptable to the applicable federal or state regulatory agency. With respect to each such Mortgage Loan, upon the
consummation of the related Transaction, Custodian shall have received the related Asset File and such Asset File shall not have been released from the possession of the Custodian at any time for longer than the time periods permitted under the
Custodial Agreement; provided that in the case of a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, Custodian shall have received the related Asset File by no later than the Wet-Ink
Delivery Date. 
 (ss) Loan Type. No Mortgage Loan is an interest only loan, “pay option ARM,” “pick-a-payment” or similar type of mortgage loan or a home equity revolving line of credit, reverse mortgage loan,
co-operative loan or commercial loan. 
 (tt) Predatory Lending Regulations; High Cost Loans.
No Mortgage Loan (i) is a High Cost Mortgage Loan, (ii) is subject to Section 226.32 of Regulation Z or any similar state law (relating to high interest rate credit/lending transactions), (iii) contains any term or condition, or
involves any loan origination practice, that has been defined as “predatory” under any applicable federal, state, county or municipal law, or that has been expressly categorized as an “unfair” or “deceptive” term,
condition or practice in any such applicable federal, state, county or municipal law, (iv) is currently affected by the operation of any law, regulation or rule that (A) imposes liability on a mortgagee or a lender to a mortgagee for
upkeep to a Mortgaged Property prior to completion of foreclosure thereon, or (B) imposes liability on a lender to a mortgagee for acts or omissions of the mortgagee or otherwise defines a mortgagee in a manner that would include a lender to a
mortgagee, or (v) otherwise relates to any violation of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act or any state, city or district high cost home mortgage or predatory lending law. 

  
 Sch. 1-11 

 (uu) Rehabilitation. The related Mortgaged Property is not a ground-up construction, a tear-down, a partial tear-down or a gut rehabilitation. 
 (vv) Single Premium
Credit Life Insurance: No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, credit disability, credit unemployment, credit property, debt cancellation, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit.
No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life, credit disability, credit unemployment, credit property, debt cancellation, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. None of the proceeds
of the Mortgage Loan were used to purchase or finance single-premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination of, or as a condition to the closing, such Mortgage Loan. 

(ww) Qualified Mortgage; Ability to Repay. Except with respect to Investor Mortgage Loans, before the consummation of the Mortgage Loan,
Seller made a reasonable and good faith determination that the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms, in accordance with, at a minimum, the eight underwriting factors set forth in 12 CFR 1026.43(c). Except
with respect to Investor Mortgage Loans, Seller as originator has retained written record that evidence its compliance with the ability-to-repay standards that include,
but are not limited to records of points and fees information and mortgagor income and debt information. Unless such Mortgage Loan is an Investor Mortgage Loan or a Non-QM Loan, such Mortgage Loan is a
“qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 1026.43(e)(2) of Regulation Z without reference to Section 1026.43(e)(4), (5), (6) or (f) of Regulation Z. 

(xx) No Second Liens: No Mortgage Loan is secured by a junior priority lien on the related Mortgaged Property. 

(yy) REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but
determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the
Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real
property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to [***] of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage
Loan on such date or (ii) on the date of origination or acquisition, as applicable, at least equal to [***] of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the
real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or
(b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit
enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable
exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, 

  
 Sch. 1-12 

 
it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either
sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the
proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations. 

(zz) No Default. There is no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration, and neither Seller nor its
predecessors have waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. No foreclosure action is currently threatened or has been commenced with respect to any Mortgaged Property. 

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

(bbb) Credit Score Reporting. Full, complete and accurate information with respect to the Mortgagor’s credit file was furnished to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations. With respect to each Mortgage Loan and related consumer report (as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act,
Public Law 91-508), or other credit information furnished by the Seller to the Buyer, the Seller has full right and authority and are not precluded by law or contract from furnishing such information to the
Buyer, and the Buyer is not precluded from furnishing the same to any subsequent or prospective purchaser of such Mortgage Loan. 
 (ccc)
Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as originator, purchaser, mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were)
(i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in
such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state in each case to the extent
non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan. 
 (ddd) Investor
Mortgage Loans. If such Mortgage Loan is an Investor Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is solely for use as an investment property and Seller has provided Buyer or its designee with a statement certifying such purposes as well as
other checks as agreed to between Seller and Buyer as determined through due diligence. Such Mortgage Loan was not originated primarily for a personal, family or household purpose, as defined in the Truth

  
 Sch. 1-13 

 
in Lending Act and its implementing Regulation Z, and such Mortgage Loans was originated for business purposes and the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan shall be used solely for a business purpose.
The Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage (i) is non-owner occupied, and (ii) is one or more parcels of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four- family dwelling. The related Mortgagor does not intend to occupy the Mortgaged Property for more than [***] during any [***]. In connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related
Mortgagor represented and certificated to the Originator that such Mortgaged Property is non-owner occupied and a copy of such certificate was delivered by Seller to Custodian to be maintained in the related
Asset File. 
 (eee) Reserved. 

(fff) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts
exists or has existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether or not known to Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance (if
applicable) (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of
actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents
submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s
financial inability to pay. 
 (ggg) No Exception. Unless otherwise approved by Buyer in writing, the Custodian has not noted any
material exceptions on an Asset Schedule with respect to the Mortgage Loan which would materially adversely affect the Mortgage Loan or Buyer’s interest in the Mortgage Loan. 

(hhh) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure
materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of adjustable rate mortgage loans, and Seller maintains a copy of such statement in its Records. 

(iii) Tax Service. The Mortgage Loan is covered by a life of loan, transferrable real estate tax service contract that may be assigned
to Buyer.

1.4 Section 8(a) of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the second paragraph thereof in
its entirety and replacing it with the following: 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that
Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights and in order to secure Seller’s obligations under Section 17 of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a

or Servicing File and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, on or prior to the related Repurchase Date. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security
agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

1.5 Section 10 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as

otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets. In furtherance, and not by limitation of, the foregoing, it is acknowledged that each counterparty with which Buyer may engage in a transaction as
contemplated hereunder is a repledgee as contemplated by Sections 9-207 and 9-623 of the UCC (and the relevant Official Comments thereunder). Nothing contained in
this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller; provided, however, that Buyer is obligated to return the specific Purchased Assets upon repurchase by Seller. 

  
 4 

 1.6 Section 13 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby
amended by deleting subsection (l) in its entirety and replacing it with the following: 
 (l) Insurance. Seller
shall cause Finance of America Holdings LLC to continue to maintain Fidelity Insurance in an aggregate amount at least equal to [***]. Seller shall cause Finance of America Holdings LLC to maintain Fidelity Insurance in respect of its officers,
employees and agents, with respect to any claims made in connection with all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, including without limitation in respect of Seller acting in the capacity of Servicer of the Purchased Assets. Seller shall notify
Buyer of any material change in the terms of any such Fidelity Insurance. 
 1.7 Section 16 of the Existing
Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection (a) in its entirety and replacing it with the following: 

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an
“Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of counsel, and Taxes relating to or arising in
connection with the ownership of the Purchased Assets, but excluding any Taxes otherwise addressed in Section 7 of this Agreement) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively,
“Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of,
this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, any wire fraud or data or systems intrusions), that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified
Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt “Costs” shall include Taxes that represent losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Purchased Assets, that, in each case, results from anything other
than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Assets for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any
Purchased Assets, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or
reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such
account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the amount of any Charges and/or Returned Items (as each such term is defined in the Collection Account Control
Agreement) paid by Buyer to Collection Account Bank pursuant to Section 6 of the Collection Account Control Agreement (including without limitation following the termination of the Collection Account Control Agreement to the extent provided for
in Section 6 of the Collection Account Control Agreement). 
 1.8 Section 17 of the Existing Repurchase
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsections (a), (c), (e) and (f) thereof in their respective entireties and replacing them with the following: 

(a) Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with one or more Servicers to service and/or subservice the Mortgage Loans
consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Servicers customarily require with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by such Servicers and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Seller as Servicer shall service the Purchased Assets during the related Interim Servicing Period in accordance with this Agreement, including the Servicing Annex for the benefit of Buyer. The Servicer shall (i) comply with all
applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing and/or subservicing responsibilities hereunder, (iii) be an approved servicer by Fannie Mae

Purchased Assets; provided that Seller shall not be required to provide a Servicer Notice with respect to Seller acting as Servicer. 

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Buyer shall have the right to immediately
terminate the Servicer’s rights to service the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Servicer Notice (or this Agreement and the Servicing Annex in the case of Seller as Servicer, and if Buyer exercises
such right all authority and power of such Servicer to service the Purchased Assets hereunder shall be immediately and automatically terminated). Seller and Servicer shall (x) cooperate in transferring the servicing and/or subservicing of the
Purchased Assets 

  
 6 

 
to a successor servicer and/or subservicer selected by Buyer in its sole discretion and (y) in the case of Seller as Servicer, comply with the servicing transfer provisions set forth in
paragraph (b)(ix) of the Servicing Annex in connection with such transfer of the servicing of the Purchased Assets. In the case of a Servicer other than Seller, if a Servicer Termination Event has occurred but an Event of Default has not yet
occurred, the Seller shall select a successor servicer and/or subservicer within [***] following the earlier of Seller’s receipt of notice or knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, subject to such successor servicer or

 ANNEX I 

EXHIBIT D 
 SERVICING
ANNEX 
 Reference is hereby made to that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2019 (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), by and between Finance of America Mortgage LLC (“Seller” or “Servicer”) and Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC
(“Buyer”). Capitalized terms used herein but not herein defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement. 

(a) During the Interim Servicing Period, Servicer hereby agrees to service the related Purchased Assets in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices and the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in the Agreement, including without limitation Section 17 of the Agreement. Such terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement (including without limitation
Section 17 of the Agreement) are hereby incorporated by reference. 
 (b) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, during the Interim Servicing Period in connection with its servicing of the related Purchased Assets, Servicer shall comply with the following: 

(i) Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with the Servicing Annex, to
collect all payments due (if any) under each of such Purchased Assets when the same shall become due and payable. 
 (ii)
Servicing Records and Servicing Files. Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Purchased Assets, including the related Servicing Records and Servicing Files. Servicer
shall release its custody of the contents of the Servicing Files in accordance, and only in accordance, with written instructions of Buyer, except when such release is required as incidental to the Servicer’s servicing of such Purchased Assets.

 (iii) MERS Mortgage Loans. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, Servicer shall cause the MERS System to
indicate that the related Purchased Asset is being serviced by Servicer pursuant to the Agreement (including the Servicing Annex) by entering in the MERS System the information required by the MERS System to identify Servicer as the servicer of the
MERS Mortgage Loan. In the event Servicer’s membership in MERS is terminated for any reason and any of the related Purchased Assets then serviced by Servicer are MERS Mortgage Loans, Servicer shall, upon Buyer’s request, prepare and cause
MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to Buyer or its designee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to
effect a transfer of such Purchased Asset. 
 (iv) Environmental Issue. Servicer shall, if a related Mortgaged
Property is subject to the Environmental Issue, immediately stop any foreclosure proceedings and not commence new foreclosure proceedings against such Mortgaged Property. 

 (v) Modifications Etc. Consistent with the terms of the Servicing
Annex and Accepted Servicing Practices, Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any such Purchased Asset or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in
Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to Buyer or Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Asset. All modifications, waivers, forbearances or amendments of
any such Purchased Asset shall be in writing and shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. On each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments for each related adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan in
compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note and applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage, Mortgage Note and applicable federal,
state and local laws and regulations regarding interest rate adjustments. 
 (vi) Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other
Charges; Maintenance of PMI Policies; Collections Thereunder. With respect to each such Purchased Asset (to the extent escrowed under the terms of such Purchased Asset), Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground
rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of private mortgage insurance policy premiums and fees and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from
time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including insurance renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable,
employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor held in trust accounts as escrow funds maintained by Servicer which shall have been estimated and accumulated by Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the
Mortgage and applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful
performance in the payment of same or the making of the escrow payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments. 

(vii) Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each such Purchased Asset fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located by a Qualified Insurer in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and
(b) the outstanding principal balance owing on such Purchased Asset. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance
has been made available) the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (A) the minimum amount
required under the terms of the coverage to compensate for any damage or loss to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement-cost basis (or the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset if replacement-cost basis is not available) or
(B) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in trust accounts as escrow funds and

 
applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of such Purchased Asset, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices) shall be deposited in the Nomura Account. All policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Servicer, and shall provide for at least [***] prior written notice
of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either its insurance carrier or agent; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers. 

(viii) Inspections. Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property related to each such Purchased Asset as often as
deemed necessary by the Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In addition, the Servicer shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Servicer shall keep a written report of each such
inspection and shall provide a copy of such inspection to Buyer upon the request of Buyer. 
 (ix) Servicing Transfer
Provisions. In the event that Buyer terminates Servicer’s rights to service the related Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 17(f) of the Agreement, Servicer shall: 

(A) Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such
termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under the Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition
of the Buyer or the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 17(f) of the Agreement; 
 (B)
Servicer shall transfer the servicing with respect to the related Purchased Assets and prepare, execute and deliver, any and all related documents and other instruments, in the Servicer’s possession, including all related Servicing Files, and
do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such termination and related transfer of servicing, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Purchased Assets and related
documents or otherwise, at Seller’s sole expense. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents and other such instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 17(f) of the Agreement all such responsibilities, duties and obligations of the Servicer as
servicer, to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Purchased Assets and related documents, if necessary, and to deliver to Buyer (or its designee) all contents of the related Servicing Files in the possession of the
Servicer; 
 (C) Servicer shall transfer to Buyer (or its designee) all cash amounts (if any) which shall at the time be
credited by the Servicer and held in trust accounts as escrow funds or thereafter received with respect to the related Purchased Assets and Servicer shall account for all funds;
