      of a breach by or default of Seller or any Affiliate accruing under such
      Purchased Contracts with respect to any period prior to Closing; 

             (n)      all
      fees, commissions and expenses payable to Milestone Advisors LLC and UBS
      Investment Bank;

             (o)      any
      amounts due to any Affiliate of Seller by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller;
      and 

             (p)      all
      Liabilities arising out of, under or in connection with any Employees in
      Excluded Branch Offices, except for any Liabilities that arise out of or
      relate to the period after the Closing pertaining to Employees in Excluded
      Branch Offices who are Transferred Employees. 

          2.5     Further Conveyances and Assumptions; Consent of Third Parties. 

            (a)      From
      time to time following the Closing, subject to Section
      8.2 of this Agreement, and except as prohibited
      by Applicable Law, Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, make
      available to Purchaser such data in personnel records of Transferred 

21

  Employees as is reasonably necessary
  for Purchaser to transition such employees into Purchaser’s records. 

             (b)      From
      time to time following the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall
      cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver
      all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions, releases and acquittances
      and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may
      be necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Purchaser and its respective
      successors or assigns, all of the properties, assets, rights, titles, interests,
      estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser
      under this Agreement and the Seller Documents and to assure fully to Seller
      and its Affiliates and their successors and assigns, the assumption of
      the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Purchaser under
      this Agreement, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated
      hereby and thereby.

             (c)      Nothing
      in this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      hereby shall be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any Purchased
      Asset, including any Contract, Permit, Seller’s ownership interest
      in the Joint Venture Entities, any certificate, approval, authorization
      or other right, which by its terms or by Applicable Law is nonassignable
      without the Consent of a third party or a Governmental Body of competent
      jurisdiction or is cancelable by a third party in the event of an assignment
      or purported assignment (“Nonassignable
      Assets”) unless and until such Consent
      shall have been obtained. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates
      to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to, with the cooperation of
      Purchaser, obtain at the earliest practical date all Consents and approvals
      required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
      Other than with respect to fees relating to filings made under the Antitrust
      Laws which shall be paid by parties in accordance with Section
      7.4(d), Purchaser shall not be required to
      pay any consideration in connection with obtaining or attempting to obtain
      any Consent. Other than with respect to fees relating to filings made under
      the Antitrust Laws which shall be paid by parties in accordance with Section
      7.4(d) or as set forth on Schedule
      3.4(A), Seller shall be responsible for payment
      and is required to pay any consideration in connection with obtaining or
      attempting to obtain any Consent required pursuant to this Agreement. To
      the extent permitted by Applicable Law, in the event Consents to the assignment
      thereof cannot be obtained, such Nonassignable Assets shall be held, as
      of and from the Closing Date, by Seller or the applicable Affiliate of
      Seller in trust for Purchaser and the covenants and obligations thereunder
      shall be performed by Purchaser in Seller’s or such Affiliate’s
      name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for
      Purchaser’s account. Seller shall take or cause to be taken at Seller’s
      expense such actions in its name or otherwise as Purchaser may reasonably
      request so as to provide Purchaser with the benefits of the Nonassignable
      Assets and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes
      due and payable under the Nonassignable Assets, and Seller or the applicable
      Affiliate of Seller shall promptly pay over to Purchaser all money or other
      consideration received by it after the Closing Date in respect of all Nonassignable
      Assets. As of and from the Closing Date, Seller on behalf of itself and
      its Affiliates authorizes Purchaser, to the extent permitted by Applicable
      Law and the terms of the Nonassignable Assets, at Purchaser’s expense,
      to perform all the obligations and receive all the benefits of Seller or
      its Affiliates under the Nonassignable Assets and

22

  appoints Purchaser its attorney-in-fact
      to act in its name on its behalf or in the name of the applicable Affiliate
      of Seller and on such Affiliate’s behalf with respect thereto. Seller
      shall assign and Purchaser shall assume each Nonassignable Asset promptly
      upon Seller procuring the requisite Consent, and upon such assignment and
      assumption, such Nonassignable Asset shall be deemed a Purchased Asset
      and the obligations arising from such Nonassignable Asset from and after
      the date of assignment shall be deemed an Assumed Liability. 

             (d)      The
      parties acknowledge that the list of Purchased Assets set forth in Section
      2.1 and Assumed Liabilities in Section
      2.3 is intended to include all assets and
      liabilities associated with the portion of the Business being purchased
      by Purchaser, except as specifically excluded in Sections
      2.2 and 2.4. Five Business Days prior to
      the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser amendments to Schedules
      2.1(d)(List of Purchased Intellectual Property), 2.1(h)(List of Purchased
      Branch Offices), and 2.1(i)(List of Purchased Contracts) to reflect the
      changes in such lists arising out of the Ordinary Course of Business from
      the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date in compliance with Section
      7.2 of this Agreement, and the completion
      of Seller’s review of all Purchased Contracts to determine whether
      Consent is required for assignment. The amended schedules delivered to
      Purchaser, subject to Purchaser’s review and consent, which consent
      will not be unreasonably withheld, will thereby be incorporated into this
      Agreement and substituted in lieu of such schedules delivered as of the
      date of this Agreement. 

          2.6     Purchase Price Allocation.

          Purchaser shall prepare one or more schedules allocating the Purchase Price (including, for these purposes, the purchase price paid for the acquired Servicing Rights) no later than sixty (60) days
following the Closing. Seller shall have thirty (30) days to review such schedules and provide its comments to Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to agree upon a final allocation statement within
ninety (90) days of the Closing. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree upon the allocation of such Purchase Price, the Purchase Price shall be allocated pursuant to arbitration pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators knowledgeable in matters of federal taxation.  One arbitrator shall be chosen by each of the parties who shall together choose a third arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in the
Dallas, Texas metropolitan area. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties and subject to no appeal, and shall deal with the question of costs of arbitration (including attorneys’ fees) and all matters related thereto.
Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction, or applications may be made to such court for an order for enforcement. Seller and Purchaser agree to prepare and file an IRS Form 8594 in a timely fashion in
accordance with the rules under Section 1060 (and, where applicable, Section 338(a)(10)) of the Code. To the extent that such Purchase Price is adjusted after the Closing Date, the parties agree to revise and amend the schedule and IRS Form 8594 in
the same manner and according to the same procedure. The determination and allocation of the Purchase Price derived pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be binding on Seller and Purchaser for
all Tax reporting purposes. 

23

          2.7     Proration of Certain Expenses.

          Subject to Section 11.2 with respect to Taxes, all expenses and other payments in respect of all rents and other payments due under the
Purchased Assets shall be prorated between Seller and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for all rents (including any percentage rent, additional rent and operating
expense reimbursements and escalations), charges and other payments of any kind accruing during any period under the Purchased Assets up to and including the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for all such rents, charges and other payments
accruing during any period under the Purchased Assets after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall pay the full amount of any invoices received by it after the Closing and shall submit a request for reimbursement to Seller for Seller’s pro rata
share of such expenses, along with any supporting documentation that Seller may reasonably request, and Seller shall pay the full amount of any invoices received by it and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for Purchaser’s share of such
expenses.

              (i)      the
        Pipeline Loans, and all prepaid fees and deposits relating to the Pipeline

    	          	(ii)   	the Purchased Fixed
              Assets;

	 	(vi)   	the Acquired Accounts
              Receivable;

	 
	 	(vii)   	the JV Interests; and

	 
	 	(viii)   	the Subsidiary Stock;
              PLUS

  

            (b)      the
      Hedging Instruments Fair Market Value; PLUS 

             (c)      any
      amounts payable pursuant to the Non-Negotiable Promissory Note attached
      as Exhibit F-6;
      LESS 

             (d)      the
      Book Value of the Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing Date; LESS 

24

            (e)      the
      Purchase Price Adjustment, calculated in accordance with Section
      3.4.

          An example of the calculation of the Purchase Price is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

          3.2     Estimated Purchase Price.

          Seller shall furnish to Purchaser, at least five Business Days prior to the Closing, a balance sheet of the Business as of the date which is the last day of the month prior to the day before the
Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement detailing the estimated calculation of the Purchase Price (“Estimated
Purchase Price”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered (except that the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet does
not contain footnotes). The Estimated Purchase Price shall equal the following: 

           (a)      the
      Book Value of the following Purchased Assets reflected on the Estimated
      Closing Balance Sheet: 

  
                (i)      the
          Pipeline Loans and all prepaid fees and deposits relating to the Pipeline
          Loans; 

    	          	(ii)   	the Purchased Fixed

	 	(vii)   	the JV Interests;
                and

	 
	 	(viii)   	the Subsidiary Stock;
                PLUS

  

            (b)      the
      Hedging Instruments Fair Market Value; PLUS

             (c)      any
      amounts payable pursuant to the Non-Negotiable Promissory Note attached
      as Exhibit F-6;
      LESS 

             (d)      the
      Book Value of the Assumed Liabilities reflected on the Estimated Closing
      Balance Sheet; LESS 

             (e)      the
      Purchase Price Adjustment, calculated in accordance with Section
      3.4.

          The Purchase Price shall be finally determined following the Closing in accordance with Section 3.5. 

25

          3.3     Closing Payment.

          Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller (the “Closing Payment”) the Estimated Purchase Price (excluding any amounts payable following
Closing pursuant to the terms of the Non-Negotiable Promissory Note attached as Exhibit F-6, which shall be paid in accordance with such terms) at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account of Seller.  Such account shall be designated by Seller to Purchaser at least five Business Days prior to the Closing. 

          3.4     Purchase Price Adjustment.

          Purchaser and Seller agree that the Purchase Price shall be adjusted (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”) by an amount equal to (i)
ten million dollars ($10,000,000), LESS (ii) costs incurred by Seller prior to the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule 3.4(A), which may be amended by Purchaser and Seller in writing prior
to the Closing Date, (but specifically excluding those costs set forth on Schedule 3.4(B), which will not be deducted from (i)), LESS (iii) if the Closing Date occurs after July 31, 2008, an
amount equal to (a) one million dollars ($1,000,000) multiplied by (b) the number of full calendar months plus the fractional portion of any calendar month occurring after July 31, 2008 and prior to the date on which the Closing Date occurs. For the
avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.4 shall affect in any manner the parties’ rights and obligations set forth in Article IV with respect to the Closing Date and termination
of this Agreement. The amount calculated in accordance with clause (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 3.4 shall be zero if the primary reason for the Closing Date occurring after July 31, 2008 is (1) Seller’s breach of this Agreement,
(2) pursuant to Purchaser’s exercise of the Purchaser Extension in Section 4.3 and the Closing occurring on or before August 31, 2008, or (3) Purchaser’s inability to satisfy the
condition specified in Section 9.1(g) hereof; provided, that Purchaser makes any required filings to initiate the process of applying for such Permits within three (3) Business Days after
the date of this Agreement and uses its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Permits. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the amount calculated in accordance with such clause (iii) exceed five million
dollars ($5,000,000). If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number, then the Purchase Price Adjustment will reduce the Purchase Price pursuant to the calculation in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. If the Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number, then the absolute value of the Purchase Price Adjustment will increase the Purchase Price pursuant to the calculation in Sections 3.1 and
3.2. 

          3.5     Final Purchase Price Calculation.

          Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Parties’ agreement (or deemed agreement pursuant to Section 3.5(d)) with respect to the
calculation of the Purchase Price and (ii) the delivery of any report of the Independent Accountant as provided in Section 3.5(e) with respect to the Purchase Price, as applicable:

            (a)      if
      the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price,
      Seller shall pay to Purchaser, within five Business Days after the earlier
      to occur of the events described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence
      of this Section 3.5,
      the amount of the difference between the Estimated Purchase Price and Final
      Purchase Price, plus simple interest on the amount of such difference from
      the Closing Date to the date of payment at an interest rate equal to the
  Fed Funds Rate per annum by wire transfer of

  

26

  immediately available funds to such account
      or accounts of Purchaser as Purchaser specifies in writing to Seller in
      the manner specified herein for the delivery of notices; and 

             (b)      if
      the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price,
      then Purchaser shall pay to Seller, within five Business Days after the
      earlier to occur of the events described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
      first sentence of this Section 3.5,
      the amount of the difference between the Final Purchase Price and the Estimated
      Purchase Price (excluding any amounts payable thereafter pursuant to the
      terms of the Non-Negotiable Promissory Note attached as Exhibit
      F-6, which shall be paid in accordance with
      such terms), plus simple interest on the amount of such difference from
      the Closing Date to the date of payment at an interest rate equal to the
      Fed Funds Rate per annum by wire transfer of immediately available funds
      to such account or accounts of Seller as Seller specifies in writing to
      the Purchaser in the manner specified herein for the delivery of notices. 

             (c)      As
      soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than 75 days
      after the Closing Date, Seller will prepare (or cause to be prepared) and
      deliver to Purchaser a calculation of the Purchase Price as of the Closing
      Date, calculated in accordance with the methodology used to calculate the
      Estimated Closing Balance Sheet set forth in Section
      3.1 hereof (the “Final
      Calculation Statement”). 

             (d)      Purchaser
      shall have 30 days from receipt of the Final Calculation Statement, to
      give Seller written notice of its objection to any item or calculation
      contained in the Final Calculation Statement specifying in reasonable detail
      all disputed items and the basis therefor (a “Dispute
      Notice”). If Purchaser concurs with
      the Final Calculation Statement or otherwise does not give Seller a Dispute
      Notice within such 30-day period, such Final Calculation Statement shall
      be deemed final and conclusive with respect to the determination of the
      Purchase Price, and shall be binding on the Parties for all purposes under
      this Agreement. If, however, Seller delivers to Purchaser a Dispute Notice
      objecting to any items or calculations contained in the Final Calculation
      Statement within the applicable 30-day period, the Parties shall meet within
      30 days following the date of the Dispute Notice (in each case, the “Resolution
      Period”) and shall attempt in good
      faith to resolve such objections and any written resolution by them as
      to any disputed amount shall be deemed final and conclusive with respect
      to the determination of the Purchase Price, and shall be binding on the
      Parties for all purposes under this Agreement. Any amounts that were not
      timely disputed pursuant to a Dispute Notice (or if so disputed, subsequently
      resolved) may not be disputed. In all events the Final Calculation Statement
      shall be final and binding, except to the extent of those amounts timely
      identified in a Dispute Notice as disputed items in accordance with this
      paragraph. 

             (e)      If
      the parties are unable to resolve Purchaser’s objections within the
      Resolution Period, then all amounts and issues remaining in dispute and
      Seller’s responses thereto will be submitted by Purchaser and Seller
      for review by the Independent Accountant. All Parties agree to execute,
      if requested by the Independent Accountant, a reasonable engagement letter
      with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Accountant.
      The Independent Accountant will determine only those

27

  issues still in dispute at the end of
      the applicable Resolution Period and the Independent Accountant’s
      determination will be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions
      of this Agreement. The determination by the Independent Accountant will
      be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by
      Purchaser and Seller to the Independent Accountant and not on the Independent
      Accountant’s independent review. Each of Purchaser and Seller will
      use its commercially reasonable efforts to make its presentation as promptly
      as practicable following submission to the Independent Accountant of the
      disputed items, and each such Party will be entitled, as part of its presentation,
      to respond to the presentation of the other Party and any questions and
      requests of the Independent Accountant. Discovery shall be limited to documents
      designated by the Independent Accountant as necessary for it to assess
      the proper calculation of the Purchase Price, consistent with this Agreement.
      The Independent Accountant’s determination will be made within 30
      days after its engagement (which engagement will be made no later than
      five Business Days after the end of the applicable Resolution Period),
      or as soon thereafter as possible, and will be set forth in a written statement
      delivered to Purchaser and Seller. The Final Calculation Statement, as
      finalized by the Independent Accountant shall be deemed final and conclusive
      with respect to the Purchase Price and shall be binding on Purchaser and
      Seller for all purposes under this Agreement. In deciding any matter, the
      Independent Accountant (A) will be bound by the provisions of this Section
      3.5 and (B) may not assign a value to any
      item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser
      or Seller or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Purchaser
      or Seller. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant in resolving
      all such objections shall be borne by (A) Purchaser in an amount equal
      to the proportion of the total disputed amount that the Independent Accountant
      finds in favor of Seller and (B) Seller in an amount equal to the proportion
      of the total disputed amount that the Independent Accountant finds in favor
      of Purchaser. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs
      and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute
      hereunder before the Independent Accountant will be borne by the Party
      incurring such cost and expense. “Final
      Purchase Price” means the Purchase
      Price as finally adjusted in accordance with this Section
      3.5. 

ARTICLE IV

CLOSING AND TERMINATION

          4.1     Closing Date.

          Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 hereof (or the waiver thereof by the party entitled to waive
that condition), the closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities provided for in Article II hereof (the “Closing”) shall take place at such place as the parties may mutually agree on July 31, 2008, subject to the exercise by Purchaser of the Purchaser Extension, as set forth in Section 4.3. The date on which the Closing shall be held is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. 

28

          4.2     Termination of Agreement.

          This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:

            (a)      by
  mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser; 

             (b)      by
      Seller or Purchaser if there shall be in effect a final nonappealable Order
      of a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining
      or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      hereby, it being agreed that the parties hereto shall promptly appeal any
      adverse determination which is not nonappealable (and pursue such appeal
      with reasonable diligence); 

             (c)      by
      Purchaser, if there shall have been a material breach by Seller of any
      representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller set forth in
      this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of a condition
      set forth in Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) and
      is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have
      been cured within 30 days following receipt by Seller of notice of such
      breach from Purchaser; or 

             (d)      by
      Seller, if there shall have been a material breach by Purchaser of any
      representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Purchaser set forth
      in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of a condition
      set forth in Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b) and
      is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have
      been cured within 30 days following receipt by Purchaser of notice of such
      breach from Seller. 

          4.3     Purchaser Extension 

          In the event all of the conditions to closing set forth in Article IX are fulfilled as of July 31, 2008, other than the conditions with respect to (i) the actions the respective Parties will take at
the Closing itself, (ii) the approval by Ginnie Mae of Purchaser as an “issuer”, and (iii) the completion of the steps required by Purchaser to employ the Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date, Purchaser may elect to defer the
Closing to August 31, 2008 by providing Seller notice of its election no later than July 25, 2008 (the “Purchaser Extension”).  In the event Purchaser provides Seller notice of
its election by July 25, 2008, the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 9.1 of this Agreement, but shall be subject only to the
fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions (any or all of which may be waived by Purchaser in whole or in part to the extent permitted by Applicable Law):

            (a)      the

      hereby; provided, however, that with respect to a threat, claim, or demand,
      counsel for the affected party has concluded in its opinion that there

  memorandum
      of understanding or similar supervisory arrangement with, or a commitment
      letter or similar submission to, or extraordinary supervisory letter from,
      any Governmental Body charged with the supervision or regulation of banks
      and their holding companies, or mortgage banking (including the Federal
      Reserve Board, the VA, FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, and HUD)
      or the supervision or regulation of Seller or FHHL relating to the Business.
      Neither Seller nor FHHL has been advised by any Governmental Body that

      commitment letter, supervisory letter or similar submission relating to
      the Business and to the Knowledge of Seller, none are threatened to be

      applicable to Seller, each of the Joint Venture Entities, the Subsidiary
      or FHHL relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets issued within
      the past three years. There is no Order applicable to Seller, the Joint
      Venture Entities, or the Subsidiary that currently restricts or will in
      the future restrict in any material respect the conduct of the Business,
      its credit policies, its management or its business, and none of them has
      received any communication requesting that they enter into any of the foregoing. 

             (d)      Section
        5.3(d) of the Disclosure Memorandum sets
        forth a list of each Permit required in connection with Seller’s
        consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          5.4     Financial Data.

            (a)      Seller
      has previously delivered to Purchaser certain unaudited balance sheet data
      (the “Balance Sheet Data”)
      of the Business, which, except as otherwise indicated, is as of April 30,
      2008 (the “Balance Sheet Date”)
      and other financial and performance data of the Business, as of the dates
      and for the periods specified thereon (the “Other
      Data”). The Balance Sheet Data and
      the Other Data were prepared in good faith from the books and records of
      Seller and are accurate and complete in all material respects in relation
      to the Business taken as a whole, and fairly present, in all material respects,
      the information purported to be set forth therein. The Balance Sheet Data
      and the Other Data have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on
      a consistent basis throughout the periods covered (except that the Balance
      Sheet Data and the Other Data do not contain footnotes). 

             (b)      The
      books of account and other financial records of the Business: (i) are in
      all material respects complete and correct and do not contain or reflect

      practices prepared on a basis consistent with the past practices of the
      Seller.

      thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Seller has provided
      to the Purchaser true and 

33

  complete copies of all reports relating
      to the Business prepared in connection with such assessment or with Seller’s
  disclosure controls and procedures relating to the Business.

  

          5.5     No Undisclosed Liabilities.

          None of Seller, the Joint Venture Entities, or the Subsidiary has any indebtedness, obligations or Liabilities of any kind relating to the Business other than those (i) fully reflected in, reserved
against or otherwise described in the Balance Sheet Data or the notes thereto; or (ii) that are immaterial to Seller, the Joint Venture Entities, and the Subsidiary, respectively, and incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business since the Balance
Sheet Date. 

          5.6     Title to Purchased Assets.

          Seller owns and has good title to each of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Exceptions.  Subject to receipt of the third party Permits and Consents, the Seller and
FHHL have the right to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser.  Other than any Liens arising as a result of action by Purchaser, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,

the interests of Seller and FHHL in the Purchased Assets free and clear of any Liens, other than Permitted Exceptions.  Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser will be the owner of the JV Interests and the
Subsidiary Stock, free and clear of all Liens other than any Liens arising as a result of action by Purchaser. 

          5.7     Absence of Certain Developments.

          Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth in Section 5.7 of the Disclosure Memorandum, since the Balance Sheet Date
(i) each of Seller, the Joint Venture Entities, and Subsidiary has conducted the Business only in the Ordinary Course of Business; (ii) neither Seller not FHHL has incurred any material liability relating to the Purchased Assets other than in the
Ordinary Course of Business; and (iii) there has not occurred any event, change, effect or circumstance that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

          5.8     Taxes. 

            (a)
      (i) All material Tax Returns that are or were required to be filed by or
      with respect to Seller, any of the Joint Venture Entities, or any of their
      respective Affiliates, either separately or as a member of an affiliated,
      combined, consolidated or unitary group, have been filed on a timely basis
      (taking into account all extensions of due dates) in accordance with Applicable
      Law; (ii) all Tax Returns referred to in clause (i) are true and complete
      in all material respects; and (iii) all material amounts of Taxes due for
      the periods covered by such Tax Returns (whether or not shown on any Tax
      Return), including any Taxes payable pursuant to any assessment made by
      the IRS or other Taxing Authorities in respect of such periods, have been
      paid in full. 

34

            (b)     There
      is no material dispute or claim concerning any Tax liability of Seller,
      any of the Joint Venture Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates
      claimed or raised by any Taxing Authority in writing or of which any director
      or officer (or employee responsible for tax matters) of Seller is otherwise
      aware. All material deficiencies asserted or assessments made as a result
      of an examination of any Tax Return filed by Seller, any of the Joint Venture
      Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates have been paid in full,
      and no issues that were raised by any Taxing Authority in connection with
      any such examination are currently pending. Except as set forth in Section
      5.8(b) of the Disclosure Memorandum, neither
      Seller, any of the Joint Venture Entities, nor any of their respective
      Affiliates has given or been requested to give a currently effective waiver
      (or is subject to such a waiver given by any other Person) of any statute
      of limitations relating to Taxes or agreed to any currently effective extension
      of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency. No unresolved claim
      has ever been made by an authority in any jurisdiction in which Seller,
      any of the Joint Venture Entities, or any their respective Affiliates does
      not file Tax Returns that Seller, or any of the Joint Venture Entities,
      or any of their respective Affiliates is or may be subject to taxation
      in such jurisdiction.

             (c)     No
      Tax is required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code as
      a result of the transfer contemplated by this Agreement. 

             (d)     There
      are no Liens, except for Permitted Exceptions, relating or attributable
      to Taxes with respect to, or in connection with, the Purchased Assets (including,
      for these purposes, the Servicing Rights). There is no basis for the assertion
      of any claim for Taxes (excluding Taxes of Purchaser and its Affiliates)
      which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result
      in the imposition of any Lien on the Purchased Assets or otherwise adversely
      affect Purchaser, the Business or Purchaser’s use of such assets. 

             (e)     All
      material amounts of Taxes that Seller, any of the Joint Venture Entities,
      or any of their respective Affiliates is or was required by Applicable
      Law to withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected and, to
      the extent required by Applicable Law, have been paid to the proper Governmental
      Body or other Person and all related Tax Returns, including Forms W-2 and
      1099, have been properly completed and timely filed. 

             (f)     Each
      of the Joint Venture Entities has been qualified as a domestic partnership
      under Section 7701(a)(2) and (4) of the Code since its inception and will
      be so qualified immediately prior to the Closing. Except as reflected in Section
      5.8 of the Disclosure Memorandum, none of
      the Joint Venture Entities or Subsidiary has ever held an equity interest
      in any other legal entity formed under domestic or foreign law.

             (g)     Seller
      provided to Purchaser all federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns
      filed with respect to each of the Joint Venture Entities and Subsidiary
      (provided that where Subsidiary was included in a consolidated or unitary
      Tax Return filed by Seller or Seller’s corporate parent, only pro-forma
      separate Tax Returns related to Subsidiary shall be provided to Purchaser)
      for taxable periods ending on or after

35

  December 31, 2003. Section
        5.8(g) of the Disclosure Memorandum indicates
        such Tax Returns that have been audited and indicates those Tax Returns
        that currently are the subject of audit. Seller has delivered to Purchaser
        accurate and complete copies of all notices of deficiencies, notices
        of proposed adjustments, notices of assessments, revenue agent reports,
        closing agreements, settlement agreements, information document requests
        and other similar documents, notices, or correspondence having substantially
        the same effect that relate to any of the Joint Venture Entities or Subsidiary
        that Seller, any of the Joint Ventures, or any of their respective Affiliates
        (or any of their representatives) has received from, sent to, or entered
        into with the IRS or other Taxing authority for taxable periods ending
        on or after December 31, 2003.

             (h)     [Intentionally
      omitted.] 

             (i)      None
      of the Joint Venture Entities or Subsidiary has engaged in a reportable
      transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011 -4 or participated
      in any “tax shelter” within the meaning of Section 6111 of
      the Code, and none of the Joint Venture Entities or Subsidiary has any
      obligation to pay the Taxes (or gross-up such Taxes) of another Person
      pursuant to any tax sharing agreement or otherwise. 

             (j)      There
      has been no waiver of any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or
      Tax Returns of or in respect of Subsidiary, and there are no agreements
      or waivers to extend the period of assessment or collection of Taxes for
      or in respect of Subsidiary; 

             (k)     Seller
      or Subsidiary, as the case may be, each (i) has disclosed on their federal
      income Tax Returns all positions therein, which, if not disclosed, could
      reasonably be expected to give rise to accuracy related penalties under
      Section 6662 against or in respect of Subsidiary, and (ii) has not taken
      positions that could reasonably be expected to give rise to accuracy related
      penalties under Section 6662(d)(2)(C) against or in respect of Subsidiary. 

             (l)      Except
      as reflected in Section 5.8(l) of the Disclosure Memorandum, there is no
      obligation by Subsidiary to pay the Taxes of another Person pursuant to
      any tax sharing agreement or otherwise, or any obligation to pay the amount
      of Tax benefits or Tax refunds realized or received by or for Subsidiary
      (or an amount in reference to any such Tax benefits or Tax refunds realized
      or received by Subsidiary) to any former stockholder(s) or other Person(s),
      and Subsidiary has no liability for Taxes of any Person under Treasury
      Regulations Section 1.1502 -6 (or any similar provision of state, local,
      or foreign law). 

             (m)    Within
      forty-eight months prior to the Closing Date, Subsidiary has not distributed
      stock of another Person, or has had its stock distributed by another Person,
      in a transaction that was purported to be or intended to be governed in
      whole or in part by Section 355 or Section 361 of the Code. 

             (n)     Subsidiary
      is not required to include an item of income, or exclude an item of deduction,
      for any period after the Closing Date as a result of (a) an installment
      sale transaction occurring on or before the Closing governed by Section
      453 of the Code (or 

36

  any similar provision of foreign, state
      or local Law); (b) a transaction occurring on or before the Closing reported
      as an open transaction for federal income tax purposes (or any similar
      doctrine for foreign, state or local tax purposes); (c) prepaid amounts
      received on or prior to the Closing Date; (d) a change in method of accounting

      any employee or former employee or independent contractor or former independent
      contractor of Subsidiary that, individually or collectively, could reasonably

      a provision of some other benefit such as accelerated vesting) by Subsidiary
      that would not be deductible by reason of Code section 280G or subject
      to an excise tax under Code section 4999; and Subsidiary does not have
      any indemnity obligations for any Taxes imposed under Code section 4999
      or 409A. 

             (p)     Any
      Tax-sharing agreement between Seller or any of its Affiliates (excluding
      Subsidiary), on one hand, and Subsidiary, on the other hand, shall be terminated
      as of the Closing Date and shall have no further effect. Any and all existing
      powers of attorney with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns to which Subsidiary
      is a party shall be terminated as of the Closing Date.

          5.9     Real Property. 

            (a)      Prior
      to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to the Purchaser for Purchaser’s
      review true, correct and complete copies of the Real Property Leases relating
      to the Purchased Branch Offices, together with all amendments, modifications
      or supplements thereto, including any assignments thereof. Seller and its
      Affiliates have a valid and enforceable leasehold interest under each of
      the Real Property Leases relating to the Purchased Branch Offices, subject
      to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar
      laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and subject,
      as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
      enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). Each of the
      Real Property Leases relating to the Purchased Branch Offices is in full
      force and effect, and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has received
      or given any notice of any default or event that with notice or lapse of

      any of the Real Property Leases relating to the Purchased Branch Offices
      and, to the Knowledge of Seller, no other party is in default thereof,
      and no party to any of the Real Property Leases relating to the Purchased
  Branch Offices has exercised any termination rights with respect thereto. 

             (b)      Seller

      use and operation of each Purchased Branch Office, and Seller and its Affiliates
      have fully complied with all material conditions of the Permits applicable
      to them. No default or 

37

  violation, or event that with the lapse
      of time or giving of notice or both would become a material default or
      violation, has occurred in the due observance of any Permit. 

             (c)      There
      does not exist any actual or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened or

      party to, any option, right of first refusal or other contractual right
      to purchase, acquire, sell, assign or dispose of any Purchased Branch Office
      or any portion thereof or interest therein. 

          5.10    Tangible
      Personal Property. 

            (a)      Seller
      and its Affiliates have good and marketable title to the Purchased Fixed
  Assets, free and clear of any and all Liens, other than Permitted Exceptions. 

             (b)      Section
        5.10 of the Disclosure Memorandum sets
        forth all Personal Property Leases involving annual payments in excess
        of $50,000 relating to personal property that is located at a Purchased
        Branch Office or by which any of the Purchased Assets are bound. All
        of the items of personal property under the Personal Property Leases
        are in all material respects in the condition required of such property
        by the terms of the lease applicable thereto during the term of the lease.

      laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and subject,
      as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
      enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). Each of the
      Personal Property Leases is in full force and effect. There is no default
      under any Personal Property Lease by the Seller or any of its Affiliates
      or, to the Knowledge of Seller, by any other party thereto, and no event
      has occurred that with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both
      would constitute a default thereunder. No party to any of the Personal
      Property Leases has exercised any termination rights with respect thereto.

      Purchased Intellectual Property includes each of the Copyrights in any
      works of authorship prepared by or for Seller or any of its Affiliates
      that resulted from or arose out of any work performed by or on behalf of
      Seller or its Affiliate or by any employee, officer, consultant or contractor
      of any of them. To the Knowledge of Seller, Seller and its Affiliates are
      the sole and exclusive owners of, or have valid and continuing rights to
      use, sell and license, as the case may be, all other Purchased Intellectual
      Property as the same is used, sold and licensed in the Business as presently
      conducted and proposed to be conducted, free and clear of all Liens or
      obligations to others. 

             (c)      To

      and services in connection with the Business as presently and as currently
      proposed to be conducted, and the present and currently proposed business
      practices, methods and operations of Seller and its Affiliates do not infringe,
      constitute an unauthorized use, misappropriation or violation of any Copyright,
      Trade Secret or other similar right of any Person and, to the Knowledge
      of Seller, do not infringe, constitute an unauthorized use of, misappropriate,
      dilute or violate any other Intellectual Property or other right of any
      Person (including pursuant to any non-disclosure agreements or obligations
      to which Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of their present or former
      employees is a party). 

             (d)      Each
      of the Intellectual Property Licenses is in full force and effect and is
      the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller and/or its Affiliates,
      enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting
      creditors’ rights and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability,
      to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought
      in a proceeding at law or in equity). Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates
      is in default under any Intellectual Property License, nor, to the Knowledge
      of Seller, is any other party to an Intellectual Property License in default
      thereunder, and no event has occurred that with the lapse of time or the
      giving of notice or both would constitute a default thereunder. No party
      to any of the Intellectual Property Licenses has exercised any termination
      rights with respect thereto. Seller and its Affiliates have good and valid
      title to the Intellectual Property Licenses, free and clear of all Liens
      other than Permitted Exceptions. Seller has delivered or otherwise made
      available to Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of all of the
      Intellectual Property Licenses, together with all amendments, modifications
      or supplements thereto. 

39

            (e)      As
      of the date hereof, Seller is not the subject of any material pending or,
      to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened Legal Proceedings which involve
      a claim of infringement, unauthorized use, misappropriation, dilution or
      violation by any Person against Seller or any of its Affiliates or challenging
      the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any Purchased Intellectual
      Property. None of Seller or its Affiliates has received written notice
      of any such threatened claim and, to the Knowledge of Seller, there are
      no facts or circumstances that would form the basis for any such claim
      or challenge. The Purchased Intellectual Property, and all of Seller’s
      and its Affiliates’ rights in and to the Purchased Intellectual Property,
  are valid and enforceable. 

             (f)      To
      the Knowledge of Seller, no Person is infringing, violating, misusing or
      misappropriating any Purchased Intellectual Property, and no such claims
      have been made against any Person by Seller or any of its Affiliates. 

             (g)      Section
        5.11(g) of the Disclosure Memorandum sets
        forth a complete and accurate list of (i) all Software included in the
        Purchased Intellectual Property owned or licensed exclusively by Seller
        and its Affiliates that is material to the operation of the Business

      party Permits, the Purchased Assets together with the Purchaser’s
      rights under the Ancillary Agreements (i) include all the Intellectual
      Property used or held for use in connection with the Business and (ii)
      include all Intellectual Property necessary for the Purchaser to conduct
      the Business as currently conducted, except as such conduct may be modified
      by the requirements of Applicable Law or Order applicable to the Purchaser
      that are not applicable to the Seller’s or FHHL’s operation
      of the Business or use of the Purchased Assets. 

          5.12    Purchased
      Contracts. 

            (a)      Seller
      has provided Purchaser with copies of each of the Purchased Contracts.
      Each of the Purchased Contracts is in full force and effect and is the
      legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller and/or its Affiliate, enforceable

      insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
      and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles
      of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
      at law or in equity). Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates is in material

      (7) provides for aggregate expenditures or revenues in excess of $250,000
      per annum; (8) provides for the sale or purchase of personal property,

      the Disclosure Memorandum, (i) none of the Purchased Assets consist of

          5.13    Employee
      Benefits. 

            (a)      Purchaser
      will not incur any liability whatsoever with respect to any Employee Benefit
      Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Seller, or any entity
      which is under common control with the Seller under Section 4001(a)(14)
      of ERISA or considered one employer with the Seller under Section 414(b),
      (c), (m) or (o) of the Code (“ERISA
      Affiliate”) currently maintained by
      Seller for the benefit of any Employee who is to become a Transferred Employee.

             (b)      No
      actions, suits or claims with respect to an Employee Benefit Plan (other
      than routine claims for benefits) are pending, or to the Knowledge of the
      Seller, have been threatened which could result in or subject Purchaser
      to Liability. 

             (c)      None
      of the Employee Benefit Plans is a “multiemployer plan” within
      the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA, and neither the Seller, nor any
      of its ERISA Affiliates have maintained, been required to contribute to
      or been required to pay any amount with respect to a “multiemployer
      plan”. The First Horizon National Corporation Savings Plan and its
      related trust are qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code,
      respectively, and Seller has received a favorable determination letter
      from the IRS and, to the Knowledge of the Seller, nothing has occurred
      with respect to such Employee Benefit Plan since the date of such determination
      letter which the Seller reasonably believes would cause the loss of such
      qualification or the imposition of any material Liability, penalty or Tax
      under ERISA or the Code. 

             (d)      The
      First Horizon National Corporation Pension Plan (“FHNC Pension Plan”)
      is subject to the funding requirements of Code Section 412 and ERISA Section
      302. Except for the FHNC Pension Plan, none of the Employee Benefit Plans
      is subject to Title IV of ERISA or to the funding requirements of Section
      412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA. There has been no failure by Seller
      or any of its ERISA Affiliates to satisfy the funding requirements of the
      Code or ERISA with respect to the FHNC Pension Plan.

             (e)      All
      group health plans of the Company have been operated in compliance in all
      material respects with the applicable requirements of COBRA. 

             (f)      None
      of the Purchased Contracts or any Employee Benefit Plan covering Transferred
      Employees for which Purchaser would have Liability require the payment
      of a benefit or other compensation upon or following a “change in
      control” of Seller or FHHL.

          5.14    Labor. 

            (a)      There

      bargaining unit has sought certification or recognition within the preceding
  three (3) years with respect to any Employee. 

             (c)      There
      have been no (i) strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, lockouts or arbitrations
      or (ii) material grievances or other labor disputes pending or, to the
      Knowledge of Seller, threatened against or involving Seller or any of its
      Affiliates involving any Employee within the preceding three (3) years
      with respect to any Employee.

             (d)      Except
      as disclosed in Section 5.14(d) of
      the Disclosure Memorandum, there are no pending, or to the Knowledge of
      Seller, threatened: (i) unfair labor practice charges, grievances, complaints,
      demands, investigations, or inquires of, to, or relating to, the Seller,
      by any Employee, or by any arbitrator, court, public authority or other
      Governmental Body responsible for the arbitration, mediation, investigation,
      or enforcement of alleged or possible violations of any labor, employment
      or other Applicable Laws relating to the relationship or the termination
      of the relationship, between the Seller and any Employee; (ii) strikes,
      work stoppages, slowdowns, lockouts, or arbitrations; or (iii) material
      grievances or other labor disputes. To the Knowledge of the Seller, there
      are no facts or circumstances which would form the basis for any of the
      foregoing. 

             (e)      Seller
      has delivered to Purchaser a list of all Employees that, to Seller’s
      Knowledge as of the date of this Agreement, will become Prospective Transferred
      Employees, with such information regarding such Prospective Transferred
      Employees as Purchaser has reasonably requested.

             (f)      Except
      as disclosed in Section 5.14(f) of
      the Disclosure Memorandum, to the Knowledge of Seller, Seller is, and at
      all times within the preceding six (6) years has been, in material compliance
      with Applicable Laws respecting employment practices, terms and conditions
      of employment and wages and hours, including but not limited to the lawful
      classification of all of Seller’s employees as exempt or non-exempt
      from overtime pay requirements, and has not engaged in unfair labor practices.

             (g)      Seller
      shall remain liable for and pay, perform, discharge and/or defend any and
      all employment, wage, hour, business expense reimbursement, compensation
      and employee benefit liabilities, responsibilities and obligations of Seller
      and its Affiliates including, without limitation, any and all claims under
      any city, local, state, or federal statute, regulation or ordinance, including,
      without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
      the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
      of 1967, as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990,

      are incurred, arising or in effect prior to the Closing, regardless of
      whether claims are made or reported prior to the Closing. Purchaser shall
  use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller

43

  in Seller’s handling of the matters
      described herein, including but not limited to permitting reasonable access
      to Transferred Employees for all necessary purposes, and encouraging the
      full cooperation of Transferred Employees with Seller and its attorneys. 

             (h)      Seller
      is solely responsible for any payments that may become due pursuant to
      any compensation and/or retention agreements entered into between Seller,
      any Joint Venture Entity or the Subsidiary with any Transferred Employee,
      and neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall assume as an asset or incur
      any Liability with respect to any such compensation and/or retention agreements. 

             (i)      Seller
      shall be responsible for satisfying its and its Affiliates obligations
      under WARN with respect to Employees of Seller and its Affiliates. Purchaser
      shall be responsible for satisfying its and its Affiliates’ obligations
      under WARN with respect to employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates, including
      the Transferred Employees. 

             (j)      To
      the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Seller shall cooperate (including
      providing all information reasonably requested by Purchaser with respect
      to any Prospective Transferred Employees) and shall allow access to the
      Employees during normal business hours to the extent not unreasonably disruptive
      to the operations of the Business for the purpose of allowing Purchaser
      to plan for the Prospective Transferred Employees’ potential employment
      with and provision of employment related benefits by Purchaser or any of
      its Affiliates. 

          5.15     Litigation. 

            (a)      Except
      as set forth in Section 5.15 of
      the Disclosure Memorandum, there is no Legal Proceeding pending or, to
      the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller or any of its Affiliates
      (including the Joint Venture Entities and the Subsidiary) relating to the
      Business, or to which Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Joint
      Venture Entities and the Subsidiary) is otherwise a party, before any Governmental
      Body, except for such Legal Proceedings that have not had, and are not
      reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect; nor, to the Knowledge
      of Seller, is there any reasonable basis for any such Legal Proceeding
      relating to the Business. Except as set forth in Section 5.15 of
      the Disclosure Memorandum, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates (including
      the Joint Venture Entities and the Subsidiary) is subject to any Order

      are not reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

             (b)      There
      are no Legal Proceedings or Orders issued, pending or, to the Knowledge
      of Seller, threatened, against Seller or any of Seller’s assets,

      any Governmental Body, arbitrator or other Person that question or challenge
      the validity or legality of, or have the effect of prohibiting, preventing,
      restraining, restricting, delaying, making illegal or otherwise interfering
      with, this Agreement, the Seller Documents, the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or proposed to be taken
      by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated
      hereby or thereby. To the Knowledge of Seller, no event has occurred or
      circumstance exists that 

44

  could reasonably be expected to give
      rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding
      or the issuance of any such Order. 

             (c)      The
      consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not
      result in any revocation, cancellation or suspension of any Permit to conduct
      the Business as presently conducted, and there is no pending or, to the
      Knowledge of Seller or its counsel, threatened Litigation with respect
      to revocation, cancellation, suspension or nonrenewal thereof and there

      Business is subject or by which any of the Purchased Assets are bound and,

      Proposal and, to the extent it is able to do so, require the return (or
      if permitted by the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement,
      the destruction) of all confidential information previously provided to
      such parties. As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition
      Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal
      or offer relating primarily to any proposal for a purchase of the Purchased
      Assets, except for (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
      (ii) as otherwise expressly permitted elsewhere in this Section
      7.2; and (iii) Seller’s stated intention
      to sell the operating assets of the Business that are not Purchased Assets
      to one or more third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions
      set forth in this Section 7.2(b)(xvii) shall
      not apply in the event Seller determines in good faith, after consultation
      with outside counsel, that the failure to consider an Acquisition Proposal
      would constitute a breach of Seller’s Board of Directors’ fiduciary
      duties under Applicable Law. 

             (xviii)    take
      any action that is intended or may reasonably be expected to result in
      any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being
      or becoming untrue in any material respect at any time prior to the Closing
      Date, or in any of the conditions set forth in Section
      9 not being satisfied in any material respect
      or in a material violation of any provision of this Agreement, except,
      in each case, as may be required by Applicable Laws;

             (xix)     amend
      any Schedule to this Agreement, including without limitation Schedule
      5.14; or 

             (xx)      consent
      to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax
      claim relating to Subsidiary or any of the Joint Venture Entities or make
      or change any Tax election for or in regard to Subsidiary or any of the
      Joint Venture Entities. 

  

          (c)      Seller represents that as of the date of this Agreement, each of the Purchased Branch Offices, as listed on Schedule 2.1(h), are being operated in the Ordinary Course of Business.  In the event Seller determines, after consultation with Purchaser, that any of the Purchased Branch Offices should not continue to
operate for business reasons, including due to the loss of employees or the lack of demand for services provided by such Branch Office, Seller will take such actions as appropriate to discontinue the operation of the Branch Office; provided that
Seller will provide Purchaser with a written list of all Branch Offices of Seller which as of the date provided to Purchaser have produced less than 30% (on an annualized basis) of their calendar year 2007 loan origination and Seller shall consult
with Purchaser as to whether such Branch Offices are being operated in the Ordinary Course of Business.  In the event Seller discontinues the operation of any Purchased Branch Office prior to the date which is five Business Days before the Closing
Date, Seller shall amend Schedule 2.1(h) to delete such Branch Office in accordance with Section 2.5(d) of this Agreement, and such
Branch Office will no longer be a Purchased Branch Office.

54

          7.3     Consents.

          Seller shall use (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to use) its commercially reasonable efforts, and Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller, to obtain at the earliest practicable date all Consents
and approvals required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including, without limitation, the Consents and approvals referred to in Sections 5.3(b) and
6.3(b).

          7.4     Regulatory Approvals. 

            (a)      Each
      of Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i)
      make or cause to be made all filings required of each of them or any of
      their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates under any Antitrust Laws with
      respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable
      and, in any event, within ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement,
      (ii) comply at the earliest practicable date with any request under any
      Antitrust Laws for additional information, documents, or other materials
      received by each of them or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the
      FTC, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice or any other Governmental
      Body in respect of such filings or such transactions and (iii) cooperate
      with each other in connection with any such filing (including, to the extent
      permitted by Applicable Law, providing copies of all such documents to
      the non-filing parties prior to filing and considering all reasonable additions,
      deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith) and in connection
      with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any of the FTC, the
      Antitrust Division or other Governmental Body under any Antitrust Laws
      with respect to any such filing or any such transaction. Each such party
      shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to each other all
      information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant
      to any Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated
      by this Agreement. Each such party shall promptly inform the other parties
      hereto of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications
      with, any Governmental Body regarding any such filings or any such transaction.
      No party hereto shall independently participate in any formal meeting with
      any Governmental Body in respect of any such filings, investigation, or
      other inquiry without giving the other parties hereto prior notice of the
      meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, the opportunity
      to attend and/or participate. Subject to Applicable Law, the parties hereto
      will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses,
      appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and
      proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating
  to proceedings under any Antitrust Laws. 

             (b)      Each
      of Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve
      such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Body with
      respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the Sherman
      Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission
      Act, as amended, and any other United States federal or state or foreign
      statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative or judicial
      doctrines or other laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate
      actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of
      trade (collectively, the
    “Antitrust Laws”).
    In connection therewith, if any Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened
    to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement
  as in violation of any Antitrust Law, Seller shall use  

55

  commercially reasonable efforts, and
      Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller, to contest and resist any such Legal
      Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree,
      judgment, injunction or other order whether temporary, preliminary or permanent,
      that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation
      of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by pursuing
      all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal and all available
      legislative action, unless, by mutual agreement, Purchaser and Seller decide
      that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Each of Purchaser
      and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action
      as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under
      any Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible
      after the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
      contrary provided herein, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall
      be required (i) to hold separate (including by trust or otherwise) or divest
      any of its businesses, product lines or assets, or any of the Purchased
      Assets, (ii) to agree to any limitation on the operation or conduct of
      the Business, or (iii) to waive any of the conditions to this Agreement
      set forth in Section 9.1.

             (c)      Each
      party hereto hereby agrees to cooperate with each other party and to promptly
      prepare and file all necessary filings, applications and other documents,
      to obtain as promptly as practicable all Consents of Governmental Bodies
      necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
      and to lift any injunction or other legal bar to the consummation of the
      transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and, in such case, to proceed
      with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
      as expeditiously as possible), including through all possible appeals;
      provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to consummate the transactions
      contemplated hereby if, in the reasonable good faith judgment of Purchaser,
      any conditions or restrictions imposed by any third party or Governmental
      Body of competent jurisdiction in connection with any such Consent may
      reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Purchaser to
      consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or operate the Business
      or any other business operated by Purchaser or its Affiliates following
      the Closing in substantially the same manner it has been operated prior
      to the date of this Agreement. Subject to the timely receipt of all necessary
      information and materials from Seller, Purchaser shall, if necessary, file,
      on or prior to five Business Days after the date hereof, the appropriate
      application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency necessary
      to obtain the appropriate Consent required to consummate the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall have the right to review
      in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on,
      in each case subject to Applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information,
      all information relating to Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, that
      is reasonably relevant to such party in terms of obtaining any Consents
      of Governmental Bodies and which appears in any filing made with, or other
      written materials submitted to, any third party or Governmental Body in
      connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising
      the foregoing right, each of Purchaser and Seller shall act reasonably
      and as promptly as practicable. Purchaser and Seller agree that they will
      keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion
      of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, subject
      to Applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, promptly furnishing
      the other with copies of notice or other communications

56

  received by Purchaser or Seller, as the
      case may be, from any third party or Governmental Body with respect to
      the transactions contemplated hereby. 

             (d)      The
      costs, expenses, and fees relating to filings made under the Antitrust
      Laws shall be paid equally by the Seller and Purchaser.

          7.5     Further Assurances.

          Each of Seller and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) cause
the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          7.6     Preservation of Records.

            (a)      Seller
      may retain for its records and not for use, disclosure, sale or other dissemination
      to any Person or in any manner, except for any purpose reasonably related
      to Seller’s prior ownership of the Business, one copy of all of the
  Documents that constitute Purchased Assets.

             (b)      Seller
      and Purchaser each agrees that it shall preserve and keep the records held
      by it or its Affiliates relating to the Purchased Assets for a period of
      six years from the Closing Date and shall make such records (including
      information relating to Taxes, and Mortgage Loan information relating to
      the Pipeline Loans and Servicing related to the Servicing Rights) and personnel
      available to the other as may be reasonably required by such party in connection
      with, among other things, any insurance claims by, Legal Proceedings against
      or governmental investigations of Seller or any of its Affiliates or Purchaser
      or any of its Affiliates, in order to enable Seller or Purchaser to comply
      with its obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document
      or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, and in order to enable Seller
      to comply with requests from third parties. In the event Seller wishes
      to destroy (or permit to be destroyed) such records after that time, Seller
      shall first give 90 days prior written notice to Purchaser and Purchaser
      shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice
      given to Seller within that 90 day period, to take possession of the records
      within 180 days after the date of such notice. 

          7.7     Publicity.

          The parties hereto shall consult in good faith with each other as to the form and substance of any press releases or other public announcements, including any related question and answer guidelines
prepared or used by Seller, related to the transactions contemplated hereby and any filings with any Governmental Body or with any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service with respect thereto prior to issuing any press release
or other public announcement or making any filing.  Without limitation of the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge that Seller’s sole shareholder will announce the execution of this Agreement on a Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within
four Business Days after the date of this Agreement, and shall attach an executed copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to the Form 8-K. In addition, certain Ancillary Agreements may also be filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K to be filed
upon

57

execution of the Ancillary Agreements. Except as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or as may otherwise be required by law, neither Seller or FHHL nor Purchaser, nor any of their respective Affiliates, will disclose to
any Person not a party hereto (other than Affiliates and Representatives, who shall be bound by this provision) the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit any
party from making any disclosure or filing that it determines, upon the advice of counsel to the party seeking to disclose, is required by Applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities
exchange or interdealer quotation service or necessary in connection with any Tax return or other document required to be filed with any Governmental Body or to prohibit Seller from making disclosures in connection with other discussions, questions
or comments in connection with investor relations matters the principal focus of which is not specifically related to the transactions contemplated hereby provided that such disclosures or comments are not designed to adversely affect the reputation
or business of a party or its Affiliates.

          7.8     Notice to Pipeline Loan Mortgagors and Others.

          Purchaser and Seller shall notify each Mortgagor under the Pipeline Loans of the sale of the Pipeline Loans in accordance with Applicable Laws.

          7.9     Use of Trade Names.

            (a)      Except
      as provided in this Section 7.9,
      within the timeframe set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser
      will take such action necessary to ensure that the Business does not retain,
      do business under, or have any ownership right in, any Licensed Mark, except
      as specifically provided in this Section 7.9.

             (b)      Seller
      hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates following the Closing Date,
      a non exclusive, non transferable, fully paid and royalty free license
      to use the trademarks and service marks shown in Exhibit
      I in the United States of America as have
      been used by the Business prior to the Closing Date (the
      “Licensed Marks”)
      in the manner the Licensed Marks were used by Business prior to the Closing
      Date and on stationery, signage and other business materials (whether in
      tangible or electronic form) (the “Licensed
      Uses”). Purchaser and its Affiliates
      shall comply with Exhibit J in
      connection with the Licensed Uses except as and to the extent that use
      of the Licensed Marks by Seller or the Business prior to the Closing Date
      in connection with their mortgage businesses did not so comply.

             (c)      Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to change all references
      to the Licensed Marks used by the Business as soon as reasonably practicable
      following the Closing Date. The license granted by this Section
      7.9 shall be effective as of the Closing
      Date and shall terminate on the date set forth in the Transition Services
      Agreement, subject to any longer period of use that may be required under
      Applicable Law. Purchaser acknowledges, covenants and agrees that, except
      as specifically provided or permitted under this Agreement, Purchaser shall
      not acquire hereunder any right, title or interest in or to the Licensed
      Marks and shall not use in any manner, any Licensed Mark (except for descriptive
      or other fair use), and any content or 

58

  text owned by Seller that is subject
      to state or federal copyright protection (except for descriptive or other
      fair use).

             (d)      Purchaser
      agrees that it shall, during the term of its license to the Licensed Marks
      under Section 7.9(b): 

  
              (i)      use
        the Licensed Marks hereunder only for the Licensed Uses, and in conformity
        with this Section 7.9; 

               (ii)      take
        reasonable steps to guard against the dilution and misuse of the Licensed
        Marks by using the Licensed Marks hereunder only for the Licensed Uses;

               (iii)     take
        reasonable steps to guard against use of the Licensed Marks in a manner
        that causes the public to view the Business as continuing to be owned
        by Seller; 

               (iv)     promptly
        inform Seller of any known infringement of the Licensed Marks; and 

               (v)     ensure
        that all of the services identified by the Licensed Marks (x) comply
        in all material respect with applicable local, state and federal government
        laws and regulations pertaining to such services, and (y) meet standards
        for such services generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry,
        except if and to the extent such services of Seller or the Business do
        not so comply prior to the Closing Date. 

  

            (e)      Seller
      and Purchaser agree that the Licensed Marks are a valuable asset of Seller
      and its Affiliates and any misuse of the Licensed Marks in violation of
      this Section 7.9 may
      cause Seller and its Affiliates irreparable harm for which it may have
      no adequate remedy at law; therefore, Seller shall be entitled to seek
      a preliminary injunction and other equitable relief to prevent any further
      misuse of the Licensed Marks. 

             (f)      Seller
      shall license that portion of the Excluded Assets used in the Transition
      Services Agreement by the Business (the
    “Licensed Excluded IP/IT”)
    to the Purchaser on a limited basis, or use such Licensed Excluded IP/IT
    on Purchaser’s behalf, to allow Purchaser to conduct the Business as
    it was conducted prior to the Closing Date, for such period as set forth
    in the Transition Services Agreement, pursuant to this Section
    7.9 and as shall be further documented in the
    Transition Services Agreement. Prior to the Closing and during the applicable
    transition period, Seller shall reasonably assist Purchaser in acquiring
    such rights in such Licensed Excluded IP/IT as are reasonably necessary to
    the Business’s day-to-day business operations in accordance with the
    Transition Services Agreement. 

             (g)      Seller
      covenants and agrees not to bring any action against Purchaser or any of
      its Affiliates on the grounds that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has
      violated Seller’s rights under any patent or patent application owned
      by the Seller or its Affiliates that are used in the Business as of the
      Closing Date (the “Seller Patents”)
      by practicing

59

  one or more of the claims of the Seller
      Patents without obtaining a license to do so. Purchaser covenants and agrees
      not to bring any action against Seller or any of its Affiliates on the
      grounds that Seller has violated the Purchaser’s intellectual property
      and proprietary rights by exercising Seller’s rights to the Seller
      Patents.

             (h)      Within
      the timeframe set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall,
      and shall cause its Affiliates to, cancel, withdraw or otherwise abandon
      all trademark, service mark, and Internet domain name registrations and
      applications which are Purchased Assets that include any Mark or other
      trademark, service mark, trade dress or other identifying symbol, indicator
      or label of Seller or its Affiliates.

             (i)       Seller
      shall defend and hold harmless Purchaser against any claims of any kind,
      made against Purchaser relating to the Licensed Marks; provided that Purchaser
      utilizes such Licensed Marks pursuant to this Section
      7.9.

             (iv)      Merging

      in which event none of the restrictions set forth in this Section
      7.10 shall continue to apply, provided that
      the parties have not structured the transaction as a pretext to avoid the
      restrictive covenants in this Section 7.10. 

  

          (d)      Seller agrees that for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is two (2) years after the Closing Date, it

Transferred Mortgage Loans and shall not itself use any such list to solicit or promote, or to allow any other person to solicit or promote, the sale of any services or products to any such Mortgagor of any Transferred Mortgage Loans, in each case
using information that it or they obtained as a result of Seller’s ownership of the Purchased Assets.

          (e)      For a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither Seller nor its Affiliates will directly or indirectly hire any

hire any such person who has been terminated by Purchaser or its Affiliates without cause, provided Seller provides notice to Purchaser of such hiring prior to the commencement of services by such person. 

          (f)       For a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates will directly or indirectly hire any

      the foregoing, subject to the restrictions on solicitation set forth in
      Section 7.10(h), Purchaser may hire any such person who has been terminated
      by Seller or its Affiliates without cause, provided Purchaser provides
      notice to Seller of such hiring prior to the commencement of services by
  such person.

      Seller may (a) hire any such person who has been terminated by Purchaser
      or its Affiliates before the commencement of employment discussions; (b)
      solicit and hire such person through general public advertisements that
      are not primarily targeted at such person; (c) hire any such person who,

      employment; and/or (d) hire any person contacted by a third party recruiter
      provided such contractor is not directed to contact the Transferred Employee. 

             (h)      For
      a period of three (3) years from the date of this Agreement, no employee,
      agent or other representative of Purchaser or its Affiliates will solicit

      recruiter provided such contractor is not directed to contact such Excluded
      Employee. 

             (i)       If
      the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any
      term or provision of this Section 7.10 is
      invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making
      the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power
      to reduce the scope or duration of the term or provision, to delete specific
      words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision
      with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest
      to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision,
      and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration
      of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

             (j)      Seller
      agrees and acknowledge that remedies under Applicable Law for any breach
      of its obligations under this Section 7.10 are
      inadequate and that in addition thereto the Purchaser shall be entitled
      to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance,
      in the event of any such breach. 

64

          7.11    Transfer
      of Assets Following the Closing. 

          In the event that, at any time on or after the Closing, Seller or the Purchaser shall receive or otherwise possess any asset that is allocated to the other party pursuant to this Agreement, such party
(the “Transferor”) shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such asset to the party so entitled thereto or to have been
responsible therefor (the “Transferee”), and such Transferee shall accept or assume, or cause to be accepted or assumed, such asset. Prior to such transfer, the Transferor shall
hold such asset in trust for the benefit of the Transferee and shall perform all obligations of the Transferee under such agreement following the Closing.  Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, as determined in good faith by the party
reporting the transaction, each of Seller and the Purchaser shall (a) treat for all Tax purposes the receipt of any such asset as having been originally received or accrued by the Transferee rather than the Transferor and (b) neither report nor take
any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a good faith resolution of a Tax Contest relating to such treatment). 

          7.12    Notice
of Developments.

          Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of (a) all events, circumstances, facts and occurrences arising subsequent to the date of this Agreement which would be
reasonably likely to result in any breach of a representation or warranty or covenant of the Seller in this Agreement or which would be reasonably likely to have the effect of making any representation or warranty of the Seller in this Agreement
untrue or incorrect in any material respect, (b) any breach by any Seller of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller in this Agreement and (c) all other material developments affecting the assets, Liabilities, business,
financial condition, operations, results of operations, customer or supplier relations, employee relations, projections or prospects of the Business. 

          7.13    ARM
Corrections.

          Seller shall cause an ARM Loan audit to be performed based on a sample of up to 250 ARM Loans using industry standard sampling techniques identified by Purchaser after consultation with the
Seller’s internal audit group. The sample shall be selected by the Purchaser in its sole discretion within 10 Business Days after the receipt by Purchaser of Seller’s list of ARM Loans currently serviced by Seller, which shall be
provided to Purchaser within five Business Days following the date hereof, and the audit shall be completed within 60 days after Seller is notified by the Purchaser of the sample selected by Purchaser. Based on the findings in such audit, Seller
shall (i) cause all identified servicing errors in any Mortgage Loan that is an ARM Loan to be corrected in compliance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, (ii) with respect to such identified errors, pay at their expense all necessary and
appropriate refunds to affect consumers, and (iii) if any systemic errors are discovered, correct all such errors at their expense with respect to all affected loans in accordance with the Seller’s normal policy and procedures. 

          7.14    Monthly
Financial Information.

          Not later than the 10th Business Day of each month between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet and income
statement of the Business, inclusive of the current fair market value of the

65

          Purchased Hedging Instruments, as of the most recently completed month-end period (a “Monthly Unaudited Company Financial Sheet”) which shall be accompanied by
a certificate, duly executed by the chief financial officer of FHHL stating that such Monthly Unaudited Company Financial Sheet fairly presents, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Seller as of the date indicated
therein, in accordance with GAAP (as of the date of such Monthly Unaudited Company Financial Sheet); and (ii) a report delivered as a computer tape containing, with respect to each Transferred Mortgage Loan, the information specified on
Schedule 7.14 as of the most recent month-end period.

          7.15    Fixed
Asset Inventory.

          No later than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall take an inventory of the fixed assets of the Business to be included in the Purchased Assets for the purpose of preparing the Final
Calculation Statement (the “Fixed Assets Inventory”).  The Fixed Assets Inventory shall be conducted in accordance with the Seller’s past practices of inventory
determination and valuation in the preparation of the financial statements of the Business and calculated in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis with the same accounting principles and practices used by Seller in the Ordinary Course
of Business (but only to the extent consistent with GAAP). At the conclusion of the Fixed Assets Inventory, Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a report consistent with reports customarily prepared by Seller in connection with its
performance of a physical inventory with respect to the Business.

          7.16    Transition
Services Agreement.

          Seller and Purchaser will negotiate and will use their commercially reasonable efforts to finalize the terms of a Transition Services Agreement by June 30, 2008. The Transition Services Agreement will
provide for certain services each party will provide to the other party for an interim period of time, with the fees owed by a party for such services to be equal to the actual cost incurred by the party providing the services.  A list of the
services contemplated to be provided by each party as of the date of this Agreement is set forth on Schedule 7.16 of this Agreement.

          7.17    Evaluated
Business.

Business, it shall notify Seller in writing of such decision on or before June 30, 2008.  Upon notification to Seller that Purchaser desires to purchase the Evaluated Business and the Evaluated Business Assets, the Evaluated Business Assets and the
Evaluated Business will be Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement and the Liabilities of Evaluated Business and Evaluated Business Assets that arise out of or relate to
the period after the Closing will be Assumed Liabilities under Section 2.3 of this Agreement; provided that except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not assume (A)
any Liability arising pertaining to the Evaluated Business and Evaluated Business Assets that is not assigned to the Purchaser at the Closing due to the failure to receive any third party Permit or otherwise except as provided in Section 2.5(c). In the event Purchaser fails to notify Seller by June 30, 2008 that it desires to purchase the Evaluated Business and the Evaluated Business Assets, the

66

          Evaluated Business Assets and the Evaluated Business will be Excluded Assets pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement and all Liabilities of Evaluated Business and
Evaluated Business Assets will be Excluded Liabilities under Section 2.3 of this Agreement. 

          7.18    Document

the Closing Date with respect to all Mortgage Loans for which Seller serves as document custodian as of the Closing Date.

following conditions are met: 

            (a)      the

      consistent with similar types of lending arrangements extended by commercial
      lenders in the financial services industry at the time of origination; 

             (b)      the
      agent arranging the Purchaser Warehouse Line of Credit is JPMorgan, and
      JPMorgan participates in the Purchaser Warehouse Line of Credit in an amount
      equal to at least two times the amount of Seller’s participation;
      and 

             (c)      in
      the event the aggregate commitment amount of lenders desiring to participate
      in the Purchaser Warehouse Line of Credit is oversubscribed, Seller’s
      commitment to participate in the Purchaser Warehouse Line of Credit shall

ARTICLE VIII

EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

          8.1     Employment. 

            (a)      Transferred
        Employees. The Purchaser or its Affiliates
        shall extend offers of employment effective on the first Business Day
        immediately following the Closing Date, and otherwise on terms Purchaser
        or its Affiliates shall determine in their discretion, to substantially
        all Employees who have been identified by Seller on the list to be provided
        to Purchaser under Section 5.14(e) (the “Prospective
        Transferred Employees”), subject to routine employment screening
        and all other measures determined in Purchaser’s discretion and
        as generally applicable to Purchaser’s new hires, and 

67

  otherwise in accordance with all Applicable
      Laws. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date Purchaser
      shall deliver, in writing, the offers of employment to substantially all
      Prospective Transferred Employees. Each such offer of employment shall
      be at comparable compensation plan levels as in effect immediately prior
      to the date of this Agreement. Such individuals who accept such offer on
      or before the first Business Day immediately following the Closing Date
      are hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred
      Employees.”

             (b)      Nonsolicitation
        of Prospective Transferred Employees. Seller
        agrees that prior to the Closing Date, neither it nor any of its Affiliates
        will solicit or cause to be solicited any Prospective Transferred Employee
        to induce such Prospective Transferred Employee to continue in the employment
        of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller after the Closing Date. Seller agrees
        to cooperate in assisting and supporting Purchaser’s hiring of
        the Prospective Transferred Employees.

             (c)      At
      the sole discretion of Purchaser, Purchaser shall provide employee benefits
      (including, without limitation, health, life and disability insurance,
      but specifically excluding stock options, restricted stock or other plans
      involving the potential issuance of securities or equity rights) to Transferred
      Employees that are no less favorable in the aggregate to such Transferred
      Employees and any dependents and beneficiaries of such Transferred Employees,
      as appropriate, than those provided to a similarly situated employee of
      Purchaser or its Affiliates who is not a Transferred Employee, taking into
      account the employee’s performance and geographic location. Except
      as specifically set forth in the immediately preceding sentence with respect
      to benefits for Transferred Employees, nothing in this Agreement shall
      be construed as restricting Purchaser or Seller or any of their Affiliates,
      in the exercise of its independent business judgment, in modifying any
      of the terms and conditions of the employment of any employee following
      the Closing or terminating the employment of any employee, including any
      Transferred Employee, following the Closing. 

             (d)      With
      respect to the benefit plans of Purchaser in which any Transferred Employee
      participates after the Closing (each, a “Purchaser Benefit Plan”),
      Purchaser shall cause each such Purchaser Benefit Plan to recognize the
      service of each such Transferred Employee prior to the Closing with Seller
      and its Affiliates as employment with Purchaser and its Affiliates for
      purposes of eligibility and benefit entitlement (e.g., vesting), but not
      for purposes of benefit accrual under any retirement benefit program, under
      each such Purchaser Benefit Plan. With respect to medical, dental and other
      health and welfare Purchaser Benefit Plans covering Transferred Employees
      as required herein, Purchaser shall waive any waiting periods or limitations,
      for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, or exclusions relating
      to pre-existing conditions to the extent that such periods, limitations
      or exclusions were not applicable to or had been satisfied by such Transferred
      Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date under applicable Employee
      Benefit Plans of Seller or its Affiliate. 

             (e)      Purchaser
      shall not be responsible (and Seller shall be responsible) for any health
      and accident claims and expenses which is incurred prior to the Closing
      with respect to the Transferred Employees. Except to the extent that the
  normal operation of

68

  FSA accounts sponsored by Seller for
      Transferred Employees would allow claims post-closing, Seller shall not
      be responsible (and Purchaser shall be responsible) for any health and
      accident claims and expenses which is incurred from and after the Closing
      Date with respect to the Transferred Employees. Purchaser agrees to provide
      continuation coverage required by COBRA to all Transferred Employees and
      their covered beneficiaries who become entitled to COBRA coverage in connection
      with a “qualifying event” (as such term is defined in ERISA)
      that occurs after the Closing Date. Seller shall provide continuation coverage
      required by COBRA to all Transferred Employees and their covered beneficiaries
      who became entitled to COBRA coverage in connection with a “qualifying
      event” that occurred on or before the Closing Date. 

             (f)      Nothing
      in this Article VIII shall
      require Purchaser or Seller to provide or continue any specific plans,
      programs, policies or arrangements. Furthermore, Purchaser shall not assume
      any Employee Benefit Plan which is maintained, contributed to or required
      to be contributed to by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, and Seller shall
      retain all Liabilities and obligations for all benefits incurred, accrued,
      or legally committed to, if any, under such Employee Benefit Plans including,
      but not limited to, responsibility for all welfare plan claims incurred
      by Employees and all long or short-term disability claims arising from
      disabilities that arose prior to Closing. For this purpose, a claim is
      incurred when the medical or other service giving rise to the claim is
      performed, except that in the case of death, a claim is incurred upon death.
      Seller shall retain all Liabilities and obligations to provide post-retirement
      health and life insurance benefits to former employees and Employees (and
      their covered spouses and dependents) incurred under the terms of the Employee
      Benefit Plans which is maintained, contributed to or required to be contributed
      to by Seller. 

             (g)      Notwithstanding
      anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement
      shall not amend or have the effect of amending the terms of any Employee
      Benefit Plan or Purchaser Benefit Plan. 

          8.2     Personnel Files.

          From time to time from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer and deliver to Purchaser the personnel files, background check reports and fingerprinting records of any Transferred Employee
who consents to such transfer of files in writing pursuant to a consent and release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller (each, an “Employee Release”). Seller
shall transfer and deliver to Purchaser these files within ten (10) Business Days after Seller shall have received a duly executed Employee Release signed by the Transferred Employee. Seller shall have no obligation to transfer or deliver to
Purchaser any personnel files of any Transferred Employee unless and until Seller receives a duly executed Employee Release signed by the Transferred Employee. 

          8.3     Standard Procedure.

          Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided in Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-34 IRB 320, (i) Purchaser and Seller shall report on a predecessor/successor basis as set
forth therein, (ii) Seller will not be relieved from filing a Form W 2 with respect to any

69

          Transferred Employees, and (iii) Purchaser will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W 2 for each such Transferred Employee only with respect to the portion of the year during which such Employees are employed by the
Purchaser that includes the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such Employee was employed by Seller. 

          8.4     Terminated Employees.

          At the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a true and complete list of all Employees who suffered an “employment loss” as defined in WARN within 90 days prior to the Closing Date.

        to each of the JV Interests to be transferred to Purchaser, a form of
        which is attached as Exhibit F-4; 

               (viii)    a

ARTICLE X 

INDEMNIFICATION

          10.1    Survival
of Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.

          The representations, warranties, and covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement or any Seller Document or Purchaser Document shall survive the Closing as follows: 

            (a)      the
      representations and warranties in Sections
      5.1, 5.2, 6.1, and 6.2 shall survive the
      Closing indefinitely; 

             (b)      the

      terminate until 30 calendar days after the expiration of the statute of
      limitations applicable to the matters covered thereby; 

             (c)      the
      representations and warranties in Section
      5.17 shall survive the Closing and will not
      terminate until the third anniversary of the Closing Date;

             (d)      all
      representations and warranties relating to the Joint Venture Entities and
      the Subsidiary, other than those representations and warranties addressed
      in Sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.8 which
      shall be governed by the survival period set forth in Section
      10.1(a)-(c) above, shall survive the Closing
      and will not terminate until the third anniversary of the Closing Date;

             (e)      all
      other representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the
      Closing and will not terminate for 365 calendar days following the Closing

             (f)      The
      covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement
      shall, subject to the express terms thereof, survive the Closing indefinitely
      (items 10.1(a) through (e) collectively, the “Survival
      Period”); 

provided, that any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any Losses as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for
indemnification) to the indemnifying party in accordance with Section 10.3(a) before the termination of the Survival Period.

          10.2    Indemnification. 

          (a)      Subject to Sections 10.1, and 10.4, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against: 

74 

            (i)      any
      and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure
      of any of the representations or warranties of Seller set forth in this
      Agreement or in any Seller Document to be true and correct in all respects
      at the date hereof and at the Closing Date (it being understood and agreed
      that such representations and warranties shall be interpreted without giving
      effect to any such limitations or qualifications as to “Knowledge”, “materiality” or “Material
      Adverse Effect” set forth therein); 

             (ii)      any
      and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach
      of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Seller under this Agreement
      (including without limitation those covenants set forth in Article
      VII) or any Seller Document; 

             (iii)     any
      and all Losses attributable to any Transferred Employee resulting from
      or based upon (A) any employment-related Liability (statutory or otherwise)
      with respect to employment or termination of employment on or prior to
      the Closing Date, (B) except as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement,
      any Liability relating to, arising under or in connection with any Employee
      Benefit Plan, including any Liability under COBRA, whether arising prior
      to, on or within three years after the Closing Date (C) any Liability under
      WARN, or (D) any failure of Seller or its Affiliates to comply with any
      applicable wage and hour laws, including without limitation the Fair Labor
      Standards Act and any applicable state laws or regulation attributable
      to or in connection with any improper classification of Employees as exempt
      or nonexempt; and 

             (iv)     any
      and all Losses arising out of, based upon or relating to any Excluded Asset,
      Excluded Liability or Excluded Employee or to Seller’s operation
      of the Business prior to the Closing (notwithstanding any exception listed
      in the Disclosure Memorandum). 

          (b)      Subject to Sections 10.1 and 10.4, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against: 

            (i)      any
      and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure
      of any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser set forth in this
      Agreement or any Purchaser Document, to be true and correct at the date
      hereof and at the Closing Date; 

             (ii)      any

      of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Purchaser under this
      Agreement or any Purchaser Document;

             (iii)     any
      and all Losses arising out of, based upon or relating to any Assumed Liability;
      and 

             (iv)     any

      Asset, Assumed Liability or Transferred Employee, in each case arising
      solely from Purchaser’s operation of the Business after the Closing. 

  

75

          10.3    Indemnification
Procedures. 

            (a)      A
      claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third party claim
      may be asserted by written notice to the party from whom indemnification
      is sought, which notice shall include a reasonable description of the basis
      for the claim. 

             (b)      In
      the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any Third
      Party Claim is asserted, the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly
      cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which
      it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to
      the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing
      its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party hereunder against any
      Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party
      shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel
      mutually acceptable to the indemnified party and the indemnifying party
      and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third
      Party Claim which relates to any Losses for which indemnification is sought
      hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate,
      settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any
      Losses for which indemnification is sought hereunder, it shall within ten
      days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify
      the indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the indemnifying party
      elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with
      any Third Party Claim which relates to any Losses for which indemnification
      is sought hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election
      as herein provided the indemnified party may then, but only then, defend
      against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim.
      If the indemnified party defends any Third Party Claim, then the indemnifying
      party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the reasonable expenses
      of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills.
      If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim,
      the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the
      defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, that such indemnified party
      shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel
      at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying
      party to participate, (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the
      indemnified party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified
      party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation
      advisable, or (iii) Purchaser reasonably anticipates the Third Party Claim
      to have a material and adverse effect upon either the Purchaser’s
      use of the Purchased Assets and/or the conduct or reputation of the Business
      after the Closing Date; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party
      shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (and any appropriate
      local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Third
      Party Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other
      in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third
      Party Claim. The parties acknowledge and agree that a class action claim
      against the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates based on Purchaser’s
      method of servicing Mortgage Loans is reasonably anticipated to have such
      a material and adverse effect pursuant to subsection (iii) in the prior
      sentence; provided, however, that Purchaser’s method of servicing
      Mortgage Loans is in accordance with Seller’s past practices of servicing
      Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
      10.3 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying
      party nor the indemnified party shall, without the 

76

  written consent of the other party, settle
      or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry
      of any judgment unless the claimant and such party provide to such other
      party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of the Third
      Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely
      for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the
      indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing of the indemnifying
      party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to
      the applicable limitations of Section 10.4,
      pay the amount called for by such offer, and the indemnified party declines
      to accept such offer, the indemnified party may continue to contest such
      Third Party Claim, free of any participation by the indemnifying party,
      and the amount of any ultimate Liability with respect to such Third Party
      Claim that the indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall
      be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that
      the indemnified party declined to accept plus the Losses of the indemnified
      party relating to such Third Party Claim through the date of its rejection
      of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified
      party with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying party
      makes any payment on any Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall
      be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies
      of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the
      indemnified party with respect to such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding
      the foregoing and regardless of whether or not such Third Party Claim is
      reasonably anticipated to have a material and adverse effect upon either
      the Purchaser’s use of the Purchased Assets and/or the conduct or
      reputation of the Business after the Closing Date, an indemnified party
      shall have the right both to employ separate counsel at the indemnifying
      party’s expense and to control the defense of any Third Party Claim
      if, (x) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party a
      conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and
      the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable,
      (y) such claim is based upon an investigation, inquiry, or other proceeding
      by a Governmental Body, or (z) such claim pertains to allegations that
      the indemnified party reasonably believes that such assumption of defense
      is necessary to assure that its authority and approvals to service are
      not materially impaired.

             (c)      After
      any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental
      Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which
      to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the
      indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually
      binding agreement with respect to an Third Party Claim hereunder, the indemnified
      party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and
      owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect
      to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all
      of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer
      of immediately available funds within five Business Days after the date
      of such notice. 

             (d)      The
      failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any
      Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying
      party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that
      the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual Loss and prejudice as a result
      of such failure. 

77

            (e)      In
      the event that Purchaser repurchases any Pipeline Loans sold to Investors
      or any other Person by Purchaser under facts or circumstances in which
      Seller would be obligated to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement,
      then Seller may elect to repurchase such Pipeline Loans from Purchaser
      instead of indemnifying Purchaser pursuant to this Article
      X. To exercise its right to repurchase any
      Pipeline Loan under this Section 10.3(e),
      Seller must provide Purchaser with written notice of such election within
      five Business Days of receipt of notice from Purchaser pursuant to this Section
      10.3 of an indemnification claim for which
      Purchaser is seeking indemnification from Seller. The purchase price for
      any Pipeline Loan which Seller elects to repurchase from Purchaser pursuant
      to this Section 10.3(e) shall
      be equal to the sum of (i) the purchase price paid by Purchaser to repurchase
      such Pipeline Loan plus (ii) Purchaser’s actual out-of-pocket costs
      and expenses for holding, servicing and administering such Pipeline Loan
      prior to the repurchase of such Pipeline Loan by Seller less (iii) any
      principal or interest paid by the borrower to Purchaser with respect to
      such Pipeline Loan. 

          10.4    Limitations
      on Indemnification. 

            (a)      Seller
      shall not have any Liability under Section
      10.2(a) and Purchaser shall not have any
      Liability under Section 10.2(b) unless
      and until the aggregate amount of Losses to the indemnified parties to
      arise thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from a breach
      of any representation or warranty exceeds $400,000 (the “Deductible”)
      and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay only
      the amount of such Losses that exceeds the Deductible. 

             (b)      Until
      the amount of claims exceeds an aggregate of $100,000 and subject to the
      Deductible as applicable, no single claim for Losses may be made for indemnification
      or aggregated with any other claim for indemnification if the amount of
      such claim does not exceed $5,000.

             (c)      Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Deductible shall not apply to the extent Purchaser seeks
      reimbursement or indemnification for (i) Losses resulting from fraud; (ii)
      Losses resulting from intentional misrepresentation; (iii) Losses under Sections 10.2(a)(ii), 10.2(a)(iii),
      or 10.2(a)(iv);
      (iv) amounts due under Section 2.7;
      (v) Losses resulting from a breach of any representations and warranties
      set forth in Sections 5.1(Organization;
      Valid Existence), 5.2(Authorization
      of Agreement), 5.6(Title to Purchased
      Assets), 5.8(Taxes), 5.13(Employee
      Benefits), or 5.24(Sufficiency
      of Assets) or (vi) Losses resulting from
      a breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties relating
      to the Joint Venture Entities or the Subsidiary. Breaches by Seller of
      any representations or warranties relating to the Joint Venture Entities
      or the Subsidiary (other than as set forth in subsections (i)-(v) of this Section
      10.4(c)) shall not be subject to the Deductible;
      provided, however, that Seller shall not have any Liability under Section
      10.2(a) with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty relating
      to the Joint Venture Entities or the Subsidiary unless and until the aggregate
      amount of Losses to the indemnified parties to arise thereunder based upon,
      attributable to or resulting from such breaches exceeds $1,000,000 with
      respect to any TMS or JV Mortgage breaches, 

78

  $500,000 with respect to any TCS or FT/E
      Mortgage breaches, or $500,000 with respect to any Subsidiary Breaches.

             (d)      Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Deductible shall not apply to the extent Seller seeks
      reimbursement or indemnification for (i) Losses resulting from fraud; (ii)
      Losses resulting from intentional misrepresentation; (iii) Losses under Sections
      10.2(b)(ii), 10.2(b)(iii),
      or 10.2(b)(iv);
      (iv) amounts due under Section 2.7;
      (v) Losses resulting from a breach of any representations and warranties
      set forth in Sections 6.1(Organization; Valid
      Existence), or 6.2(Authorization
      of Agreement),

             (e)      Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, (i) Seller shall not have any Liability under Section
      10.2(a)(ii) for breaches of any covenant
      under Section 7.2 and
      (ii) Purchaser shall not have any Liability under Section
      10.2(b)(ii) for breaches of any covenant
      under Section 7.2 unless
      and until in the case of (i) or (ii) as applicable the aggregate amount
      of Losses to the indemnified parties to arise thereunder based upon, attributable
      to or resulting from a breach of any covenant under Section
      7.2 exceeds $1,000,000 and, in such event,
      the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all Losses incurred with
      respect to any breach of a covenant under Section
      7.2. 

             (f)       Neither
      Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to indemnify, any Person under Section
      10.2(a) or 10.2(b) for
      an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding $4,000,000 (the “Cap”).

             (g)      Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Cap shall not apply to the extent Purchaser seeks reimbursement
      or indemnification for (i) Losses resulting from fraud; (ii) Losses resulting
      from intentional misrepresentation; (iii) Losses under Sections
      10.2(a)(ii), 10.2(a)(iii),
      or 10.2(a)(iv);
      (iv) amounts due under Section 2.7;
      (v) Losses resulting from a breach of any representations and warranties
      set forth in Sections 5.1(Organization; Valid
      Existence), 5.2(Authorization
      of Agreement), 5.6(Title to Purchased Assets), 5.8(Taxes), 5.13(Employee
      Benefits), or 5.24(Sufficiency
      of Assets) or (vi) Losses resulting from
      a breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties relating
      to the Joint Venture Entities or the Subsidiary. Seller shall not be required
      to indemnify any Person under Section 10.2(a) (other
      than as set forth in subsections (i)-(v) of this Section
      10.4(g)) for an aggregate amount of Losses
      exceeding $6,000,000 with respect to any breaches relating to the Joint
      Venture Entities or the Subsidiary.

             (h)      Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Cap shall not apply to the extent Seller seeks reimbursement
      or indemnification for (i) Losses resulting from fraud; (ii) Losses resulting
      from intentional misrepresentation; (iii) Losses under Sections
      10.2(b)(ii), 10.2(b)(iii), or 10.2(b)(iv);
      (iv) amounts due under Section 2.7;
      or (v) Losses resulting from a breach of any representations and warranties
      set forth in Sections 6.1(Organization; Valid
      Existence), or 6.2(Authorization
      of Agreement).

             (i)      Neither
      Seller nor Purchaser shall be required to indemnify, any Person under Section
      10.2(a)(ii) for breaches of any covenant
      under Section 7.2 and
      under Section 10.2(b)(ii) for
      breaches of any covenant under Section 7.2 for
      an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding $10,000,000. 

79

          10.5    Tax
Treatment of Indemnity Payments.

          All indemnification payments under this Article X shall be paid by the indemnifying party net of any Tax benefits and any portion of insurance proceeds actually received by the indemnified party under
its insurance coverage (net of tax costs), less the sum of any costs incurred in the collection of such insurance proceeds and any amounts paid or expected to be paid as premiums or increased premiums in connection with such insurance coverage. The
Tax benefits in the form of any refund, credit, deduction or other reduction in income Tax shall be computed in good faith by the indemnified party taking into account, among other things, any Tax detriment which is reasonably expected to result
from the receipt of any indemnity payment, without any affirmative obligation to provide actual tax returns. All indemnification payments under this Article X shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price. 

          10.6    Right
to Indemnification.

          The right of the Purchaser to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon any such representation, warranty, or covenant will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect
to, or any knowledge of Purchaser acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of such representation or
warranty or inability to perform any covenant.

          10.7    Exclusive
Right to Indemnification.

          Other than the rights of Purchaser set forth in Section 7.10, anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, it is
understood and agreed that, except in the event of fraud, the obligation of the Seller to indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Article X and in Section
11.6 constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser respecting a breach of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement.

          10.8    Mitigation
of Losses.

          An indemnified party shall, to the extent practicable and reasonably within its control, make good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses of which it has adequate notice.
With respect to any matter for which Seller may be liable pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any and all rights and remedies under agreements and contracts with third parties,
including Agencies, Insurers and the Investor, reasonably likely to be successful. Nothing in this Section 10.8 shall be construed as obligating either Party to pursue deficiency judgments
from borrowers on foreclosed Mortgage Loans, to commence and pursue litigation or to act in a manner which it reasonably believes is adverse to its own best interests. 

ARTICLE XI

TAXES 

           11.1    Transfer
Taxes.  All sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing,
recording, transfer, real estate transfer,  stock transfer, gross receipts, registration,
duty, securities transactions or

80

similar fees or taxes or governmental charges (together with any interest or penalty, addition to tax or additional amount imposed) as levied by any Taxing Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by the party customarily responsible for payment under Applicable Law (the “Paying Party”). The party customarily responsible for reporting under Applicable Law (the
“Reporting Party”) shall timely file or caused to be filed, with the cooperation of the other party, all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to Transfer Taxes.  If the Paying Party is not the Reporting Party and
the Reporting Party is responsible for the collection of the Tax from the Paying Party, then the Paying Party shall make payment to the Reporting Party within ten (10) days of notice of the amount due. In the event that either party is aware that an
exemption from an applicable Transfer Tax is available, such party shall deliver to the other party any applicable exemption certificate, duly signed and executed, or any other applicable documentation required by applicable Tax law in connection
with such Transfer Tax exemption. 

           11.2    Prorations.
(a)    All real property taxes, personal property taxes, or ad valorem
obligations and  similar recurring taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets (“Property
Taxes”) for taxable periods beginning before, and ending after, the Closing
Date, shall be prorated between Purchaser and Sellers as of the Closing Date,
computed by  multiplying the amount of Property Taxes for the fiscal year for
which the same are levied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days in such fiscal year up to and including the Closing Date and the denominator
of which is the  number of days in such fiscal year. If the exact amount of such
Property taxes is not available, parties shall use their best efforts to estimate
such amounts based on the analogous Taxes for the prior year and all other relevant
information. Seller  shall be responsible for all such taxes and fees on the
Purchased Assets accruing during any period up to and including the Closing Date.
Purchaser shall be responsible for all such taxes and fees on the Purchased Assets
accruing during any period  after the Closing Date. With respect to Taxes described
in this Section 11.2, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, Seller shall
timely file all Tax Returns due before the Closing Date with respect to such
Taxes and Purchaser shall prepare  and timely file all Tax Returns due after
the Closing Date with respect to such Taxes. If one party remits to the appropriate
Taxing Authority payment for Taxes which are subject to proration under this
Section 11.2 and such payment includes the  other party’s share of such
Taxes, such other party shall promptly reimburse the remitting party for its
share of such Taxes upon demand therefor, accompanied by reasonably satisfactory
evidence of such payment; and (b) in the case of any  Taxes (other than any property
Taxes) that are payable for the Straddle Tax Period by, for or in relation to
any of the Joint Venture Entities or Subsidiary, to the extent permitted by law
or administrative practice, the taxable year of Subsidiary  that includes the
Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) such Closing Date.
In the case of any Tax that is payable for a Straddle Tax Period that is not
treated under the preceding sentence as closing on the Closing Date, the  portions
of such Tax that relate to the pre-Closing Tax period shall be deemed to be that
amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing
Date based on the actual operations of the Joint Venture Entities and Subsidiary.
 For purposes of this subsection (b), in the case of any income Tax attributable
to the ownership of any of the Joint Venture Entities, the portion of such income
Tax that relates to any pre-Closing Tax period shall be deemed to be the amount
that  would be payable if the relevant Tax period of such Joint Venture Entity
ended on the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for all such Taxes and
fees on accruing during any period up to and including the Closing Date. 

81

           11.3    Cooperation
on Tax Matters.  Purchaser and Seller shall furnish
or cause to be furnished to each other,  as promptly as practicable, such information
and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the
Joint Venture Entities and Subsidiary as is reasonably necessary for the preparation
and filing of any Tax Return, claim for  refund or other filings relating to
Tax matters, for the preparation for any Tax audit, for the preparation for any
Tax protest, and for the prosecution or defense of any suit or other proceeding
relating to Tax matters, and each party, who, under  the other provisions of
this Agreement, shall either receive the transfer of the original business records
containing such tax information or shall be entitled to be entitled to retain
such original records, shall maintain any such information until  the expiration
of any applicable period for assessment under applicable Tax Law and shall provide
it to the other party, upon the reasonable request by the other party. 

           11.4    Election
Under Code Section 338(h)(10). (a) At Purchaser’s
request, Seller, and, where applicable,  any of its Affiliates, on one hand,
and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall join in making an election under Code
Section 338(h)(10) (and any corresponding election under state, local or foreign
Tax law) with respect to the sale and purchase of  Subsidiary (the “Section
338(h)(10) Election”), and Seller and any of its Affiliates shall cooperate
fully with Buyer in a manner consistent with the Code in making the Section 338(h)(10)
Election, including executing and filing IRS Form  8023 and all other forms,
returns, elections, schedules, and documents required to effect the Section 338(h)(10)
Election; and (b) Seller, and, where applicable, any of its Affiliates, agrees
that, except as required by Applicable Law or a final  determination with any
Taxing authority, they will not take, or cause to be taken, any action in connection
with the filing of any Tax Return or otherwise which would be inconsistent with
or prejudice the Section 338(h)(10) Election. 

           11.5    Preparation
and Filing of Tax Returns.  Seller (or, where applicable,
Seller’s ultimate corporate
parent) shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and, to the extent permitted
by any Applicable Law, file all Tax Returns required to be filed by Subsidiary
or any of the Joint Ventures for any Tax period that ends on or before the Closing
Date.  Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all
Tax Returns for any complete Tax period that includes but does not end on the
Closing Date (the “Straddle Tax Period”) required to be filed by
Subsidiary, any of  the Joint Venture Entities or related to Property Taxes.
Purchaser shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all other
Tax Returns required to be filed by Subsidiary or any of the Joint Venture Entities
after the Closing Date.  Seller’s (or Seller’s ultimate corporate
parent’s) consolidated federal income Tax Return that includes Subsidiary
for the taxable period that includes the Closing Date shall be filed in accordance
with past practices and pursuant  to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502 -76(b)(2)(i).
All such Tax Returns prepared or caused to be prepared by Seller under this subsection
shall be reviewed by Purchaser (including any intended or contemplated Tax election
to be made by Seller or  its ultimate corporate parent) before finalizing any
such Return, with the Purchaser having the right to promptly comment on any such
Tax Return, which comments shall not be unreasonably refused by Seller, provided
that Seller shall not be required  to submit any consolidated, combined, or unitary
Tax Return that includes entities other than Subsidiary but shall be required
to submit the relevant pro forma separate Tax Returns related to Subsidiary.
All Tax Returns prepared or caused to be  prepared by Purchaser under this subsection
for a Straddle Tax Period shall be reviewed by Seller (including any intended
or contemplated Tax election to be made by or on behalf of Purchaser) before
finalizing any such Return, with Seller having the  right to promptly

82

comment on any such Tax Return, which comments shall not be unreasonably refused by Purchaser, provided that Purchaser shall not be required to submit information other than that with respect to the Purchased Assets and the
Assumed Liabilities. 

           11.6    Tax
Indemnification.  From and after the Closing Date,
Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its  Affiliates (including Subsidiary) against,
and hold them harmless from, any losses to the extent attributable to (a) any
Taxes imposed on or with respect to Subsidiary (or for which any such entity
is otherwise liable), in each case, with respect to  any pre-Closing Tax period,
including any such liability arising under principles of transferee or successor
liability; (b) all Taxes arising by virtue of Subsidiary, on or prior to the
Closing Date, having been a member of a consolidated,  affiliated, combined or
unitary group that had a common parent of Seller (or Seller’s ultimate
corporate parent) or any Affiliate thereof; (c) income Taxes arising from the
inclusion by Subsidiary of any income or gain in any post-Closing Tax  period
under Section 453 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign
Law) in respect of any transaction occurring prior to the Closing Date; (d) Taxes
arising with respect to Subsidiary from any adjustment under Section 481 of
the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) arising from
the manner in which any item was reported for a taxable period (or portion thereof)
ending on or prior to the Closing Date; and (e) all Taxes otherwise allocated
to  Seller under section 11.2 hereof. 

           11.7    Tax
Refunds.  Any Tax refund (including interest paid
thereon) to the extent received by Subsidiary or  any of the Joint Venture Entities
in their capacity as a taxpayer and not a pass-through entity, with respect to
a Tax period that actually ends on or prior to the applicable Closing Date shall
be for Seller’s account, except for any such Tax
refund attributable to any post-Closing deduction, loss, credit or similar Tax
benefit. The portion of any Tax refund (including interest paid thereon, to the
extent so received) attributable to the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Tax
Period  shall be for Seller’s account, except for any refund attributable
to any post-Closing deduction, loss, credit or similar Tax benefit. All other
Tax refunds to the extent received by Subsidiary or any of the Joint Venture
Entities in their  capacity as a taxpayer and not a pass-through entity shall
be for Purchaser’s account. 

ARTICLE XII 

MISCELLANEOUS

          12.1    Expenses.

          Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other

      parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
      of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
      (and any courts from which appeals from judgments of that court are heard)
      as to any dispute or claim as 

83

  to which there is subject matter jurisdiction
      in that court and, for all other disputes or claims, the parties consent
      to exclusive jurisdiction in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
      New York County (and any courts from which appeals from judgments of that
      court are heard) over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement
      or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably
      agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding
      related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties
      hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
      Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of
      venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient
      forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees
      that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions
      by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. 

             (b)      EACH
      PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH
      MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT
      ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
      WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
      LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT,

      THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE
      THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED
      THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER
      VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
      AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS

Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. 

          This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, and the Non-Disclosure Agreement dated January 24, 2008 (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and the Disclosure Memorandum) represents the entire
understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference
to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought.  No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement

84

          contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Applicable Law. 

          12.4    Governing
Law.

          This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles contrary thereto (with references to Section 5-1401
of the New York General Obligation Law which by its terms applies to this Agreement).

          If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless

Effect; Assignment.

third party beneficiary rights in any Person or entity not a party to this Agreement except as provided below.  No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Seller or Purchaser (by operation of law
or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder

Purchaser or any of its Affiliates proposes to sell all or substantially all of the assets relating to the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that Purchaser shall remain obligated to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Upon any
such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires. 

          12.8    Knowledge. 

            (a)      When
      references are made in this Agreement to information being to the “Knowledge

      knowledge shall refer to the knowledge of the individuals listed in Section
      12.8(A) of the Disclosure Memorandum. Such
      individuals shall be deemed to have “knowledge” of a particular
      fact or other matter if: (x) such individual is actually aware of such
      fact or other matter; (y) a prudent individual could be expected to discover
      or otherwise become aware of such fact or other matter in the course of
  conducting a reasonably comprehensive investigation 

86

  concerning the existence of such fact
      or other matter; or (z) a prudent individual could be expected to discover
      or otherwise become aware of such fact or other matter that are within

      references are made in this Agreement to information being to the “Knowledge
      of Purchaser”, “Purchaser’s
      Knowledge” or similar language, such
      knowledge shall refer to the knowledge of the individuals listed in Schedule
      12.8(B). Such individuals shall be deemed
      to have “knowledge” of a particular fact or other matter if:
      (x) such individual is actually aware of such fact or other matter; (y)
      a prudent individual could be expected to discover or otherwise become
      aware of such fact or other matter in the course of conducting a reasonably
      comprehensive investigation concerning the existence of such fact or other
      matter; or (z) a prudent individual could be expected to discover or otherwise
      become aware of such fact or other matter that are within his or her area
      of responsibility. 

          12.9    Disclosure
      Memorandum. 

            (a)      Concurrently
      with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller is delivering
      to Purchaser a disclosure memorandum (the
    “Disclosure Memorandum”)
    that sets forth all of the items that are necessary or appropriate either
    in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision
    hereof or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained
    in Article V or to one or more of the covenants of Seller contained in this
    Agreement; provided, that the mere inclusion of an item in the Disclosure
    Memorandum as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed
    an admission by Seller that such item represents a material exception or
    event, state of facts, circumstance, development, change or effect or that
    such item is reasonably likely to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect;
    provided, further, that any disclosures made with respect to a section or
    subsection of this Agreement shall be deemed to qualify such only sections
    or subsections specifically referenced or cross-referenced, as well as other
    sections or subsections to the extent such disclosure is readily apparent
    as constituting disclosure in the light of the substance of the disclosure
    in respect of such other sections or subsections. In the event of an inconsistency
    between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Disclosure
    Memorandum (other than an exception expressly set forth in the Disclosure
    Schedule with respect to a specifically identified section or subsection),
    the statements in the body of this Agreement will control. 

             (b)      Five
      Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser
      amendments to the Disclosure Memorandum (the
    “Amended Disclosure Memorandum”),
    which list and amendments, if acceptable to the Purchaser upon its consent,
    which will not be unreasonably withheld, will thereby be incorporated into
    the relevant sections of the Disclosure Memorandum delivered by Seller pursuant
    to this Agreement on the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no Schedule
    to this Agreement, including without limitation Section
    5.14 of the Disclosure Memorandum, may be amended
    without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller.

87

            (c)      All
      references to the Disclosure Memorandum shall be deemed to have been, and
      will thereafter be, references to the Amended Disclosure Memorandum. 

          12.10   Counterparts.

          This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterpart signature pages executed and delivered via facsimile transmission, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this
Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

                  F.       Remit to the applicable Investor, on a date and in a manner specified by the relevant Applicable Servicing Requirements, collections of
principal and interest and any guaranty fees and other amounts due to the Investor; provided, however, that if the amounts due to the Investor(s) in any month are greater than the amounts actually collected by Subservicer less the amounts due
Subservicer in such month, then any such remittance to the Investor(s) shall constitute a Monthly Advance by Subservicer and shall be reimbursed by Servicer to Subservicer in accordance with Section 2.F.  Subservicer shall cutoff at the end of each
month and the

- 30 -

monthly report set as described on Exhibit “F” attached hereto will be forwarded to Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the end of the cutoff
month. 

                  G.       Submit all reports to Investors in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements and under Servicer’s assigned
“seller/servicer” number or such other number that Investor and other required relevant parties may designate in writing to Subservicer. 

                  H.       Provide the disclosures, assessments of compliance, attestations and certifications to Servicer required by Applicable Servicing
Requirements and specified in Exhibit “J”. 

                  I.       Provide to Servicer statements of financial condition (certified if required by any Agency or Regulator) at least annually as requested by
Servicer and will provide other reports, such as but not limited to, a Type II SAS as may be requested by any such Agency or Regulator. Subservicer shall, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, share with Servicer, upon reasonable notice and request,
available internal, external and regulatory reports, including reports related to compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations, if requested. 

          5.      Reconciliation Project.

                  A.       As of the last applicable cut-off date for each particular Investor of at least $10,000,000 in unpaid principal balance of Mortgage
Loans then serviced by Servicer which is no earlier than 30 days prior to the Effective Date (or, if applicable with respect to any particular Investor, such later date on which Servicer shall have completed a reconciliation of an account in
accordance with the Past Practices of the Servicer), or, in the case of custodial clearing accounts, as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs (or, if applicable with respect to any particular
Custodial Account, such later date on which Servicer shall have completed a reconciliation in accordance with the Past Practices of the Servicer), the Servicer shall:  (i) properly balance and reconcile all Investor accounts and Custodial Accounts
against cash requirements under the Applicable Servicing Requirements; (ii) make available for the Subservicer’s inspection documentation to verify the accuracy of the reconciling and balancing activities required under this Section 5, and to
explain any discrepancies identified in connection with such reconciling and balancing activities; and (iii) on 

- 31 -

or before the Effective Date, fund any shortages to Custodial Accounts and custodial clearing accounts existing as of the last applicable cut-off date for each particular Investor which is no earlier than 30 days prior to the
Effective Date (or, if applicable with respect to any particular Investor, such later date on which the Servicer shall have completed a reconciliation of an account in accordance with the Past Practices of the Servicer) or the last day of the month
immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs (or, if applicable with respect to any particular custodial clearing account, such later date on which the Servicer shall have completed a reconciliation in accordance with the
current business practices of the Servicer), as the case may be, which are not collected or cleared on or prior to the Effective Date, with the exception of any shortages approved by the Subservicer in writing. Servicer shall utilize Accepted
Servicing Practices in conducting the reconciling and balancing activities required under this Section 5. 

                  B.       The aggregate amount of shortfall included in the reconciling items referred to in Section 5(a) (the “Reconciliation Shortfall
Amount”) shall be either funded by Servicer at or before the Effective Date or shall be a deduction from remittances made hereunder. Servicer shall pay any portion of the Reconciliation Shortfall Amount due to any third party directly to such
third party. 

                  C.       With respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, if the Servicer shall have completed the review and reconciliation referred to in Section
5(a) prior to the Effective Date, to the extent reflected by such review and reconciliation, Servicer shall deposit additional amounts in the applicable Custodial Account and/or make appropriate accounting adjustments and/or reduce the remittances
as contemplated by Section 5(b) and (ii) in the event that such reconciliation has not been completed by the Effective Date, Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to complete such reconciliation as contemplated by this Section 5 as promptly as
possible and to indemnify the Subservicer for any unfunded Reconciliation Shortfall Amount reflected on such review and reconciliation upon completion thereof.

          6.      Delinquency Control

                  Subservicer shall, with respect to each Subserviced Mortgage Loan, as and to the
extent required by the Applicable Servicing Requirements: 

- 32 -

                  A.       Take commercially reasonable steps to maintain Subserviced Mortgage Loans in a current status pursuant to Applicable Servicing Requirements,
which may include procedures that provide for sending delinquent notices, call campaigns and strategies, assessing late charges, and returning inadequate payments, and procedures for the analysis of Subserviced Mortgage Loans that are distressed or
chronically Delinquent. 

                  B.       Maintain a collection department. All Subserviced Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Mortgage Loans or Defaulted Mortgage Loans shall be
serviced in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements. 

                  C.       Provide Investors with month-end collection and delinquency reports identifying and describing the status of any Subserviced Mortgage Loans
that are Delinquent Mortgage Loans and Defaulted Mortgage Loans as and to the extent provided for in the Applicable Servicing Requirements, and from time to time as the need may arise, provide Investors with loan service reports relating to any
information which Subservicer is otherwise required to provide thereunder or detailing any matters that Subservicer reasonably believes should be brought to the attention of Investor. 

                  D.       Offer loan modification and other foreclosure avoidance agreements and alternatives to Mortgagors, on Servicer’s behalf and, in doing
so, comply with Applicable Servicing Requirements.  In connection with offering loan modifications to Mortgagors, Subservicer will conform to the requirements set forth in Section 3.O. above. 

                  E.       Assist in: (i) the foreclosure or other acquisition of the Mortgaged Property; (ii) the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to HUD or VA, the
filing of all reimbursement claim forms and the collection of any applicable mortgage insurance; and (iii) pending completion of these steps, the protection of the Mortgaged Property from deterioration. Subservicer will have title to such property
acquired in the name designated by Investor. In case of a voluntary deed in lieu of foreclosure, and purchase by Servicer or Investor for its account, Subservicer will protect the resulting REO Property while so owned to the extent required by the
Applicable Servicing Requirements.  Upon the sale of the REO Property, on terms as specified by Investor, if payments are deferred and payable under contract or Mortgage, Subservicer will service the same until completely liquidated. 

- 33 -

          7.      Repurchases and Indemnification of Investors 

                  A.       Subservicer shall promptly notify Servicer of a repurchase or indemnification request that Subservicer receives from any Investor or Insurer
with respect to a Subserviced Mortgage Loan. Subservicer shall cure the complained of defect (if such defect is capable of cure) or contest any repurchase or indemnification request and work directly with the applicable Investor, Insurer and other
relevant third parties, and Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for Subservicer’s reasonable costs in providing such assistance. Servicer shall fund any required repurchase or indemnity payment resulting therefrom (subject to
Subservicer’s indemnification obligations under Section 20.B). 

                  B.       If Servicer is required to repurchase a Subserviced Mortgage Loan or indemnify an Investor or Insurer with respect to a Mortgage Loan that
was originated by a third party originator, Subservicer shall be responsible for the pursuit of any remedies against such third party originator on Servicer’s behalf, and Subservicer shall pursue such remedies from such third party originator,
and Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for Subservicer’s reasonable costs in providing such assistance.

                  C.       Upon receipt of a Mortgagor request to convert a Subserviced Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Note and/or Mortgage that contains a
conversion feature, Subservicer shall implement such request, as provided for in the Mortgage Loan Documents and Applicable Servicing Requirements. If, upon such conversion, Applicable Servicing Requirements provide for the repurchase of such
Subserviced Mortgage Loan, Servicer shall implement and fund such repurchase.  Subservicer thereupon shall account for such repurchased Subserviced Mortgage Loan as a Mortgage Held for Investment and shall service such repurchased Subserviced
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge the intention of Servicer to sell such repurchase Subserviced Mortgage Loan to a third Person following such repurchase, and Subservicer agrees reasonably to
cooperate with and assist Servicer in such sale and to provide or obtain information related to such repurchased Subserviced Mortgage Loan. 

                  D.       Repurchased Subserviced Mortgage Loans shall be repurchased and thereafter shall be held in the name of Servicer; provided, that, in the
event of any such

- 34 -

repurchase, such Subserviced Mortgage Loans shall continue to be subject to this Agreement and subserviced by Subservicer during the Term hereof. 

          8.      Litigation. Except as otherwise provided herein, Subservicer shall be responsible for management and
administration of all loan level litigation, arbitration or other proceeding before any Governmental Body, or any investigation or administrative enforcement action by any Governmental Body (“Litigation”) relating to the Subserviced
Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to, Litigation related to Foreclosure, eviction, quiet title and bankruptcy filings, all costs of which shall be at Servicer’s expense (unless such costs are subject to Subservicer’s
indemnification obligation in Section 20.B.). Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for any out-of-pocket costs that Subservicer incurs in connection with any assistance provided to Servicer for such loan level Litigation, and any such reimbursed
costs shall be excluded from the calculation of Direct Cost Per Loan for any related Direct Cost Period. Subservicer shall not, without the prior written consent of Servicer, settle or compromise any claim or any such Litigation against Servicer or
any of its Affiliates arising out of or relating to any such Litigation, other than any such settlement involving solely the payment of money damages not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in any one (1) instance or one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate for all such settlements, during any calendar quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(b) of the Asset Purchase Agreement, each Party shall be responsible for
management and administration of its defense of any class action Litigation in which such Party or any of its Affiliates is a defendant; provided, however, that Servicer shall not, without the prior written consent of Subservicer, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any class action Litigation that would materially adversely impact the manner in which the Subserviced Mortgage Loans are serviced in the future or Subservicer’s operations.  Subservicer
shall cooperate in obtaining or making available information or documents respecting Subserviced Mortgage Loans involved in Litigation as may be reasonably requested or required by Servicer or its counsel. Servicer shall reimburse Subservicer for
any out-of-pocket costs that Subservicer incurs in connection with any assistance provided to Servicer for such class action Litigation (unless such costs are subject to Subservicer’s indemnification obligation in Section 20.B.), and any such
reimbursed costs shall be excluded from the calculation of Direct Cost Per Loan for any related Direct Cost Period. Subservicer shall not be obligated to implement any material changes in the way it subservices

- 35 -

the Subserviced Mortgage Loans resulting from Servicer’s settlement of any Litigation; provided, that Subservicer will cooperate in good faith with Servicer to implement such requirements of settlements; and provided further, that Subservicer shall be required to effect any such material changes if Servicer shall agree to indemnify Subservicer, to the
extent that such material changes would require Subservicer to perform greater obligations or undertake greater duties under this Agreement than would have otherwise been the case absent such settlement, against any incremental costs to Subservicer
as a result of such greater obligations or duties which would cause Direct Cost Per Loan for any Direct Cost Period to exceed $65.  To the extent that effecting any such material changes would result in Subservicer’s being unable to comply
with any provisions of this Agreement relating to the manner in which the Subserviced Mortgage Loans are to be subserviced (after taking into account the indemnification provided above), Servicer shall agree to the modification of such provision to
the minimum extent necessary so as to enable compliance therewith by Subservicer in light of such settlement. Prior to entering into a final settlement of any Litigation that would require Subservicer to implement material changes, Servicer agrees
to consult with Subservicer in good faith to try both to establish reasonable time frames for implementation of such changes and to minimize any potential material adverse effect that the implementation of such changes may have on Subservicer.

          9.      Books and Records.  Subservicer shall give Servicer or its authorized representative, including
without limitation Servicer’s Regulators and any Agency or Investor, the opportunity at any time during its normal business hours and following reasonable prior written notice to examine Subservicer’s books and records related to the
Subserviced Mortgage Loans (including, in the event of any Subserviced Mortgage Loan that is a second Mortgage Loan, any and all records pertaining to the first lien on such Mortgaged Property). Subservicer will keep records pertaining to each
Subserviced Mortgage Loan and Mortgagor in such form and content as is necessary to fully satisfy the Applicable Servicing Requirements. Such records related to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgagors shall be the property of
Servicer and, upon Servicer’s request, Subservicer shall promptly provide requested information contained in such records to Servicer as and in the form reasonably requested.  Subservicer’s performance of its obligations under this Section
8 shall be at Subservicer’s sole expense, except for excessive requests.  Upon termination of this Agreement, all records pertaining to the

- 36 -

Subserviced Mortgaged Loans shall be delivered to Servicer at Servicer’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Subservicer at its own expense may copy any such records before delivering them to the Servicer.

          10.    Insurance.  Subservicer
shall maintain at its expense at all times  while this Agreement is in force
blanket policies of fidelity, theft, forgery and errors and omissions insurance
covering all officers and employees of Subservicer acting in any capacity with
respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans with terms and  in amounts sufficient
to satisfy the Applicable Servicing Requirements. Subservicer shall add Servicer
as a named loss payee on all such policies of insurance, and shall provide at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Servicer or the  applicable Investor,
if required, of any modification to or cancellation of such insurance policies.
If requested by Servicer, Subservicer shall cause certificates evidencing the
existence of such coverage to be delivered to Servicer. Subservicer  shall also
maintain or obtain annually certificates of coverage for blanket policies of
fidelity, theft, forgery and errors and omissions insurance covering all vendors
utilized in connection with the subservicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans
 in amounts sufficient to satisfy the Applicable Servicing Requirements. 

          11.    Misdirected
Payments.  If
any Mortgagor should make a payment  under a Subserviced Mortgage Loan after
the Effective Date to Servicer that should have been made to Subservicer, including
but not limited to a full payoff or refinance of the Note, Servicer agrees to:
(i) wire said payment to Subservicer the same  Business Day if related to the
payoff or refinance of a Subserviced Mortgage Loan and (ii) forward said payment
to Subservicer within two (2) Business Days for all other payments under a Subserviced
Mortgage Loan. 

          12.    Privacy.

                  A.       Servicer shall provide to Subservicer a complete copy of its policies and procedures related to the privacy of Mortgagor information
(“Privacy Policy”). Servicer shall deliver to Subservicer all updates or modifications to the Privacy Policy no less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such update or modification becomes effective; 

- 37 -

                  B.       With respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, Servicer acknowledges and agrees that Subservicer may: (i) disclose Mortgagor information in
the same manner and to the same extent as Servicer may do so under Applicable Law, Servicer’s Privacy Policy, Section 13.G. of this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement; and (ii) disclose or use Mortgagor information to the extent
that such disclosure or usage relates to the carrying out of the purposes for which Servicer provided such Mortgagor information to Subservicer as described in this Agreement and as permitted under Applicable Law; 

                  C.       With respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, Subservicer agrees to comply with Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and other
Applicable Law applicable to the privacy and security of nonpublic personal information (“NPI”), and implement measures consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and Applicable Servicing Requirements to:  (i) ensure the security and
confidentiality of Mortgagor records and information; (ii) protect against any anticipated threats or exposure to the security or integrity of such records; (iii) guard against unauthorized access to use of such records or information that could
result in substantial harm or inconvenience to a Mortgagor; (iv) adopt and maintain reasonable procedures, as well as train its employees, to protect the security, confidentiality, and privacy of Mortgagors’ NPI including without limitation in
connection with the disposal of NPI; and (v) not sell, transfer, rent or disclose to any third parties Mortgagors’ NPI, except for the limited purposes expressly set forth in this Agreement or otherwise agreed to by Servicer.

                  D.       Subservicer complies with the data security regulatory standards required by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s
and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  In addition, Subservicer complies with the data security regulatory standards required by any Regulator.  Subservicer routinely tests its infrastructure, including perimeter assets, systems and
networks on not less than an annual basis; security programs to monitor, manage and report data security are conducted on a monthly basis.  Upon reasonable prior notice, Servicer may request information and conduct follow-up interviews about the
measures Subservicer employs to safeguard confidential and customer information. If Subservicer detects, discovers, or is notified that an incident resulted in, or could result in, unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration of, or access to
confidential or customer information, including a security breach of its computer system or its physical facilities, Subservicer will promptly notify Servicer and

- 38 -

will provide Servicer with such information it may need in order to allow Servicer to meet its customer notification requirements. Subservicer will also preserve all records and other evidence relating to the security incident.
Subservicer shall use its best efforts to mitigate any damage or liability resulting from such security incident, and shall comply with the applicable SLAs and the Applicable Servicing Requirements in connection with notification, mitigation,
indemnity and cure of such incident. 

          13.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Subservicer.  Subservicer represents, warrants and
covenants with Servicer, as of the date hereof, or such other date as specified below, that:

                  A.       Subservicer is validly existing as a national banking organization organized under the federal laws of the United States and has and will
have all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as conducted during the Term of this Agreement. Subject to federal preemption of Applicable Laws, Subservicer has in full force and effect (without notice of
possible suspension, revocation or impairment) all applicable qualifications, permits, approvals, licenses, and registrations to conduct all activities in all states in which its activities with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans or related
servicing rights require it to be qualified or licensed, except where the failure of Subservicer to possess such qualifications, licenses, permits, approvals and registrations would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of Subservicer to
enforce any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. Subservicer has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and the individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of Subservicer are duly authorized to do so. 

                  B.       Subservicer is, or will be by the Effective Date, an approved servicer for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, an approved Ginnie Mae servicer in
good standing and qualified by FHA and VA as a lender/mortgagee and servicer of FHA-insured Mortgage Loans and VA-guaranteed Mortgage Loans. If a Private Investor is the Investor for a Subserviced Mortgage Loan, Subservicer is, or will be as soon as
practicable following the Effective Date, an approved originator, seller and servicer, as applicable, in good standing with such Private Investor. Subservicer has, or will obtain as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the servicer
ratings with the nationally recognized ratings agencies that are required under the Servicing

- 39 -

Agreements with Private Investors or in order to maintain the rating of any securitization and as specified on Exhibit “E-1” attached hereto.  Once
approved, Subservicer shall at all times thereafter during the term of this Agreement maintain the foregoing approvals and ratings. 

                  C.       No approval from any local, state, or federal agency or authority must be obtained by Subservicer, other than those obtained by the
Effective Date, in connection with its execution and delivery of this Agreement or in order for Subservicer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subservicer agrees to obtain any necessary approval by Investors and Insurers
for the assumption of Subservicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement; provided, that Servicer will cooperate with Subservicer as reasonably requested to obtain such approvals. 

                  D.       During the Term of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, Subservicer shall comply with all Applicable Servicing Requirements
in connection with its subservicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, subservicing the Subserviced Mortgage Loans in such a manner to enable Subservicer to provide disclosures, assessments of compliance and
attestations and annual independent auditors’ assessments of the Subservicer’s performance.  Subservicer shall perform its obligations as set forth in the Regulation AB Addendum executed by Servicer and Subservicer in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit “J” to the extent necessary for compliance with Applicable Servicing Requirements. If and to the extent that Subservicer actually knows, discovers or
determines at any time during the Term of this Agreement that, in performing its duties under this Agreement, Subservicer is in violation of the Applicable Servicing Requirements in any material respect, Subservicer shall promptly notify Servicer in
writing of such violation. 

                  E.       Subservicer shall not, during the Term of this Agreement, enter into any agreement or arrangement pursuant to which Subservicer shall assign
or any third party or parties shall assume Subservicer’s obligations with respect to the subservicing and administration of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans. Further, Subservicer shall not, without the prior written consent of Servicer, enter
into any agreement or arrangement with any third party or parties with respect to the performance of any material function related to the servicing and administration of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans (excluding arrangements or agreements in effect
as of the Effective

- 40 -

Date or the delegation of customary ancillary duties that do not constitute servicing); provided, that, with respect to any agreement or arrangement entered into by Subservicer in compliance with this Section 13.E. (i) any such
arrangement or agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) Subservicer shall remain at all times obligated and liable for the subservicing and administration of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans on the terms
provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any such agreement or arrangement shall comply with all Applicable Servicing Requirements, including without limitation all requirements of any Governmental Body or Regulator having
jurisdiction over Servicer or the Subserviced Mortgage Loans. 

                  F.       There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Subservicer’s knowledge, threatened against the Subservicer,
which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in the business, operations or financial condition of the Subservicer, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the
Subservicer to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Subservicer, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Subserviced Mortgage Loans or of any action
taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of the Subservicer contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder. 

                  G.       During the Term of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Parties, Subservicer shall not, and shall cause
its employees not to, solicit Mortgagors with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans for any purpose (other than in the performance of Subservicer’s obligations with respect to loss mitigation under this Agreement), including without
limitation a refinancing of any Subserviced Mortgage Loan, the origination of a mortgage loan secured by another Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor, or the sale of optional insurance or any other banking or financial products or services;
provided, however, that the following shall not constitute solicitation and shall not violate this covenant: (i) mass advertising or mailings (such as placing advertisements on television, on radio, in magazines or in newspapers or including
messages in billing statements) that are not primarily directed towards the Mortgagors, and (ii) a solicitation for financial services to Mortgagors with whom Subservicer or an affiliate has a customer relationship unrelated to the Subserviced
Mortgage

- 41 -

Loan.  Subservicer shall refer any written or oral requests received from a Mortgagor for a replacement or new mortgage loan, optional insurance or any other banking or financial product or service to Servicer as promptly as
practicable but not later than two (2) Business Days after Subservicer receives any such request or, if agreed by the Parties in writing, Subservicer shall fulfill such request on Servicer’s behalf and in Servicer’s name. 

                  H.       Subservicer will maintain at all time during the Term a disaster recovery plan that complies with the Applicable Servicing Requirements,
including without limitation any regulations and Orders of any Regulator. Subservicer will provide Servicer or its Regulator a copy upon request at Subservicer’s expense. Any updates to the disaster recovery plan shall be provided to Servicer
within thirty (30) days of such update. The plan will be audited and tested at least once every twelve (12) months or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Applicable Servicing Requirements or Applicable Laws, including without limitation any
regulations and Orders of any Regulator. Subservicer shall not diminish or eliminate the level of service provided pursuant to this Agreement under the disaster recovery plan without Servicer’s prior written consent.  In addition, Subservicer
shall: (a) provide Servicer with a copy of any future third party certification report(s) that review and/or certify the disaster recovery plan when such report(s) is made available to Subservicer and (b) upon Servicer’s requests from time to
time, allow Servicer, its Regulator or their agents on a semi-annual basis to review the disaster recovery plan procedures. 

          14.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Servicer. Servicer represents, warrants and covenants
with Subservicer, as of the date hereof, or such other date as specified below, as follows: 

                  A.       Servicer is validly existing as a national banking organization organized under the federal laws of the United States and has and will have
all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as conducted during the Term of this Agreement. Subject to federal preemption of Applicable Laws, Seller has in full force and effect (without notice of possible
suspension, revocation or impairment) all applicable qualifications, permits, approvals, licenses, and registrations to conduct all activities in all states in which its activities with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans or related servicing
rights require it to

- 42 -

be qualified or licensed, except where the failure of Servicer to possess such qualifications, licenses, permits, approvals and registrations would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of Subservicer or Servicer to
enforce any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. Servicer has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement.  The individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of Servicer are duly authorized to do so. 

                  B.       Servicer is an approved servicer for Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, an approved Ginnie Mae servicer in good standing and is qualified by FHA and
VA as a lender/mortgagee and servicer of FHA-insured Mortgage Loans and VA-guaranteed Mortgage Loans. If a Private Investor is the Investor for a Subserviced Mortgage Loan to be subserviced hereunder, and if required for the performance of its
obligations under the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, Servicer is an approved servicer in good standing with such Private Investor. Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain the foregoing approvals.

                  C.       Except as set forth on Exhibit “E-2”, no approval from any
Investor, or any local, state, or federal agency or authority must be obtained by Servicer, other than those obtained by the Effective Date, in connection with its execution and delivery of this Agreement or in order for Servicer to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Servicer shall, at its expense, be responsible for compliance with any state, Investor, and Insurer requirements applicable to the assumption by Subservicer of its responsibilities under this Agreement,
including without limitation obtaining all necessary state, if applicable, Investor and Insurer consents or approvals as may be required by the Servicing Agreements and Applicable Servicing Requirements. 

                  D.       There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Servicer’s Knowledge, threatened against the Servicer, which,
either in any one instance or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in the business, operations or financial condition of the Servicer, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Servicer
to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Servicer, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Subserviced Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be
taken in connection with the obligations of the Servicer contemplated herein, or which would be likely to

- 43 -

impair materially the ability of the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder, or materially and adversely affect the servicing obligations with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans. 

                  E.       Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Subservicer as requested by Subservicer, in carrying out Subservicer’s covenants,
agreements, duties, and responsibilities under this Agreement and, in connection therewith, Servicer shall execute and deliver, at Servicer’s expense, all such papers, documents and instruments set forth on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and as may otherwise be necessary and appropriate in furtherance thereof including without limitation appropriate Powers of
Attorney as requested by Subservicer. Servicer agrees to comply with all Applicable Servicing Requirements. Servicer shall perform its obligations as set forth in the Regulation AB Addendum executed by Servicer and Subservicer in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit “J” to the extent necessary for compliance with Applicable Servicing Requirements. 

                  F.       Servicer shall provide to Subservicer, at Servicer’s expense: all Mortgage Loan Documents and other applicable documentation for each
Subserviced Mortgage Loan to enable Subservicer to maintain the Subserviced Mortgage Loan on Subservicer’s mortgage loan servicing system and related surrounding and supplemental systems and applications. All such documentation shall be
delivered to Subservicer upon the Effective Date. Any files associated with quality control audits and any associated record keeping retained by Servicer shall be available to Subservicer within a reasonable time following request.  In connection
with the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be effected in connection with the closing of the sale of certain assets of the Business by means of Subservicer’s occupancy and rental of
FHHL’s Headquarters (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) as of the Closing Date. 

                  G.       Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Servicer, or within such earlier
time period as may be necessary to allow Subservicer the opportunity to take action to protect the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the Mortgage or to take such other action as may be required in accordance with the Applicable Servicing
Requirements, and to avoid fines, penalties and the like, Servicer shall promptly notify Subservicer whenever it receives actual notice of any liens, bankruptcies, condemnations, probate proceedings, tax sales, partitions, local

- 44 -

ordinance violations, condemnations or proceedings in eminent domain that could impair the security of any Subserviced Mortgage Loan, or of vacancy, waste or vandalism of or to the Mortgaged Property. 

                  H.       Servicer agrees to cause its directors or their authorized designees to appoint the employees of Subservicer set forth on Exhibit “K” as officers of Servicer in the capacities set forth therein solely for the purpose of performing Subservicer’s obligations under this Agreement, such appointment to remain in
effect during the Term of this Agreement; provided, however, that should the persons appointed by the authorized officers cease to serve as employees of Subservicer for any reason whatsoever, Servicer agrees to cause its authorized officers, as
appropriate, to remove such persons as officers of Servicer and to appoint a substitute or substitutes acceptable to both Parties.

                  I.       Subservicer shall, on Servicer’s behalf and as needed, from and after the Effective Date, notify the applicable taxing authorities
(except as such is handled through the tax service company) and Insurers of the assumption of the subservicing responsibilities by Subservicer and include instructions to deliver all notices, tax bills and insurance statements, as the case may be,
to Subservicer or the applicable tax service provider, as the case may be. 

                  J.       Subservicer shall, on Servicer’s behalf and as needed, from and after the Effective Date, notify all foreclosure attorneys and trustees
under Mortgage Instruments who, on the Effective Date, are providing legal or foreclosure-related services to or on behalf of Servicer in connection with pending foreclosures involving one or more of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, of the transfer
of the subservicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans to Subservicer. 

                  K.       Subservicer shall, on Servicer’s behalf and as needed, from and after the Effective Date, notify all bankruptcy trustees of the
assumption of Subservicer’s subservicing obligations under this Agreement. 

                  L.       Each Subserviced Mortgage Loan has a fully paid, freely transferable, verified life of loan flood tracking service contract with Federal
Flood Certification Corporation. 

                  M.       If any Subserviced Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a Federal Emergency Management Agency designated special
flood hazard area, then

- 45 -

(to the extent required by Applicable Servicing Requirements), flood insurance policies are in full force and effect in the amounts required by Investors under Applicable Servicing Requirements or are insured through
Servicer’s “gap coverage” flood insurance policy, or Servicer is in the process of obtaining or will obtain forced place insurance in the amounts required by Investors under Applicable Servicing Requirements.

                  N.       All Mortgaged Properties are currently insured against fire and have extended coverage insurance, including coverage for perils customary in
the geographic area where the related Mortgaged Property is located, in the amounts required by the Investors under Applicable Servicing Requirements; all insurance premiums on such insurance policies have been paid in a timely manner; and there
have been no fire losses on the Mortgaged Properties where Servicer’s estimate of loss is materially greater than the net recovery from the fire insurance carrier or Servicer is in the process of obtaining or will obtain forced place insurance
in the amounts required by Investors under Applicable Servicing Requirements. To Servicer’s Knowledge, there have been no fire losses on any Mortgaged Property as to which there is a pending coinsurance claim.

                  O.       All terms, conditions, agreements and other arrangements between Servicer and each Investor with respect to the servicing of the Subserviced
Mortgage Loans are set forth in the Servicing Agreements provided to Subservicer, and such Servicing Agreements are true, correct and complete. Servicer has complied in all respects with all of its contractual obligations under each Servicing
Agreement, except to the extent that any such failure to comply would not have, individually, or in the aggregate, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the servicing rights or obligations with
respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. Servicer may in its discretion consent to the amendment of any of the terms of any Servicing Agreement; provided, that if and to the extent that any such amendments would materially increase
Subservicer’s duties and obligations under this Agreement and to the extent that such consent may legally be withheld by Servicer, Servicer shall first obtain the prior written consent of Subservicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). 

- 46 -

                  P.       All payments into and disbursements from and calculations with respect to Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts have been executed and
performed in compliance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the servicing rights or obligations with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loan.
Subject to and in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements pertaining generally to the type, size or capitalization of depository institutions qualified to hold such balances of Investors, Insurers and governmental authorities, Servicer
has the right and power to determine the financial institutions in which the Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts are held and is not bound by any agreement that would limit the Servicer’s ability to move any Custodial Accounts or Escrow
Accounts to any other financial institutions. All Custodial Accounts and Escrow Accounts are maintained in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements in all material respects. 

                  Q.       All calculations required to be made by the Servicer with respect to the amount of principal, interest, payments of Escrow Funds and other
amounts due and owing by a Mortgagor from time to time under each Subserviced Mortgage Loan have been made in compliance with all Applicable Servicing Requirements, except where failure to do so would not have, in the aggregate, a material adverse
effect on the Servicer or the servicing rights or obligations with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loan.  All invoices transmitted to the Mortgagors by the Servicer for principal, interest, payments of Escrow Funds and all other amounts due and
payable under each Subserviced Mortgage Loan have been prepared, and the funds collected from the Mortgagors have been applied for the payment of such amounts, in compliance with all Applicable Servicing Requirements, except where failure to do so
would not have, in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the servicing rights or obligations with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loan. 

                  R.       All Pools have been certified, finally certified and recertified (if required) in accordance in all material respects with all Applicable
Servicing Requirements. 

                  S.       Each Subserviced Mortgage Loan was originated, sold and securitized, as applicable, in compliance with all Applicable Servicing
Requirements, Applicable Laws and Accepted Servicing Practices, except where such lack of compliance would not have a

- 47 -

material adverse effect on the ability of Subservicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or on the ability of Subservicer or Servicer to enforce any Subserviced Mortgage Loan.  The Service Quality Indicators set forth
on Exhibit “D-2” attached hereto are true, accurate and complete in all material respects. If and to the extent that Servicer actually knows, discovers or determines at any
time during the Term of this Agreement that Servicer was, prior to the Effective Date with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans, in violation of the Applicable Servicing Requirements in any material respect, Subservicer shall promptly notify
Servicer in writing of such violation. 

          15.    Compensation to Subservicer; Make Whole Payments.  For providing the services set forth in this
Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration provided by Subservicer, it is agreed that: 

                  A.       Subservicer shall be paid the Subservicing Fee, calculated and paid as and when provided in Exhibit
“B” attached hereto. 

                  B.       Subject to the Cap, in the event that, for any Direct Cost Period during the Term, (i) Direct Cost Per Loan exceeds $65.00
and (ii) Servicer fails to maintain as of the end of such Direct Cost Period the minimum number of Subserviced Mortgage Loans set forth in Exhibit
“H”, Servicer shall pay to Subservicer a Make Whole Payment with respect to such Direct Cost Period. Make Whole Payments, if applicable, shall be calculated in arrears and shall be paid as described on
Exhibit “B”. 

                  C.       As a condition precedent to Servicer’s obligation to pay any Make Whole Payment with respect to any Direct Cost Period (other than as
required as an alternative to the Early Termination Fee in Section 18.C.): (i) Subservicer shall have maintained the service levels specified in the SLAs set forth on Exhibit “D-1” during the related Direct Cost Period in all material respects; provided, that Subservicer’s failure to so maintain such service levels during any Direct Cost Period shall not excuse Servicer’s obligation to pay any Make
Whole Payment if Servicer’s historic Servicer Quality Indicators set forth on Exhibit “D-2” attached hereto are not true, accurate and complete in all material respects; (ii) no breach by Subservicer exists on the date that a Make
Whole Payment is due which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a breach by Subservicer of this Agreement for which Servicer may

- 48 -

terminate this Agreement; and (iii) the closing of the sale and purchase of the Purchased Servicing Rights on the Closing Date shall have occurred. Further, for any Direct Cost Period in which, as a result of Subservicer’s
flow or bulk sales or acquisition activities, the composition and quality of the Owned Servicing Rights Loans materially changes from the composition and quality of the Mortgage Loans originated by Servicer during the ninety (90) days preceding the
Effective Date, taken as a whole, to the extent that such material change in composition and quality would cause Servicer to pay a Make Whole Payment or an increased Make Whole Payment as a result of an increase in Direct Cost Per Loan, then, in
determining the amount of any such Make Whole Payment, the Parties shall exclude any increase in Direct Cost for such Direct Cost Period resulting from such material changes. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the Parties’ intention that any
such material changes shall not extinguish Servicer’s obligation to make a Make Whole Payment except to the extent of the financial impact on Direct Cost resulting from such material changes. If at any time during the Term, as a result of one
or more Bulk Sales (as defined in Section 16) by Servicer to Subservicer, the Purchased Servicing Rights Loans include an additional 175,000 Mortgage Loans exclusive of the Purchased Servicing Rights Loans on the Closing Date, then Servicer shall
have no further obligation to pay any Make Whole Payment. 

                  D.       In the event that there is a material change or changes in Applicable Laws or Applicable Servicing Requirements and a resulting material
adverse change in any Direct Cost, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate and enter into good faith negations to determine what, if any, amendments to this Agreement may need to be effected with respect to the definition of Direct Cost in order to
preserve the intent of the Parties. 

          16.    Right of First Look. Prior to commencing to offer the Servicing with respect to all or any portion
of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans for sale from time to time during the Term (a “Bulk Sale”) to any third party, Servicer shall notify Subservicer in writing and shall first offer Subservicer the opportunity to submit a written offer in
connection with the Bulk Sale. Servicer shall provide and make available to Subservicer the same information related to the related Subserviced Mortgage Loans as Servicer will provide and make available to other third party prospective bidders for
consideration, and Subservicer shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of Servicer’s notice to provide a written offer to Servicer with respect

- 49 -

to the Bulk Sale.  If Servicer fails to receive Subservicer’s written offer or elects to reject an offer submitted by Subservicer within such ten (10) Business Day period, Servicer may offer such Bulk Sale to other third
parties without any further obligation to Subservicer in connection with such Bulk Sale other than as set forth herein with respect to the partial termination of this Agreement related to such Subserviced Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that
Servicer will involve Subservicer in such third party marketing process. 

          17.    Term of Agreement.  The Term of this Agreement shall commence on
the Effective Date and shall end at the close of business on the last day of the twelfth (12th) Direct Cost Period, or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding Business Day;
provided, however, that Servicer and Subservicer may earlier terminate this Agreement in whole or in part as permitted in Sections 18 and 19 below. 

          18.    Termination by Servicer.

               A.       Servicer may, by written notice to Subservicer, terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or with respect to a portion of the Subserviced
Mortgage Loans to the extent the following relates to such portion: 

          (i)          For Cause.  Cause shall mean (a) Subservicer fails to perform its obligations or breaches its covenants hereunder and does not cure such
  failure within thirty (30) calendar days of written notice by Servicer to Subservicer of such failure of performance or breach, unless the Applicable Servicing Requirements or Applicable Law require cure within a shorter time period and, in such
  case, within the time period prescribed therein; provided, however, if Subservicer is prosecuting a cure in good faith in a manner
    consistent with Applicable Servicing Requirements, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional sixty (60) days as long as Servicer is not materially prejudiced by such extension of time to cure; (b) any representation or warranty of
    Subservicer is breached and Subservicer does not cure such breach within sixty (60) calendar days of written notice by Servicer to Subservicer; provided, however, if Subservicer is prosecuting a cure in good faith in a manner consistent with Applicable Servicing Requirements, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional thirty (30) days as long
as Servicer is not materially prejudiced by such extension of time to

- 50 -

cure; (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have been commenced with respect to Subservicer, or a decree or Order of an appropriate court, Governmental Body or Regulator for the appointment of a conservator,
  receiver or liquidator shall have been entered against Subservicer and such appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for sixty calendar days; or any such proceeding continues undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days, or an order
  for relief is entered in any such proceeding; (d) any assignment or attempted assignment by Subservicer of this Agreement in violation of Section 23 or (e) an Investor or Regulator requires the termination hereof with respect to any Subserviced
  Mortgage Loans as a result of any event or occurrence described in the preceding clauses; provided, however, that any such
    termination shall be effective only with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans subserviced for such Investor or Regulator;

          (ii)       In any event and without Cause at any time during the Term upon at least ninety (90) calendar days’ written notice from Servicer to
Subservicer, or

          (iii)      In
the event an Agency, Investor or Regulator requires the termination hereof with
respect to any Mortgage Loans subserviced under this  Agreement other than for
Cause. 

               B.       Servicer shall identify, in its written notice, those Subserviced Mortgage Loans as to which termination shall be effective if termination
relates to a portion of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and not to the Agreement in its entirety.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in all respects with respect to the continued subservicing of Subserviced Mortgage Loans not
subject to such partial termination. Upon termination of the Agreement under this Section 18, Subservicer shall, at Subservicer’s expense if such termination is in accordance with Section 18.A(i), or at Servicer’s expense if such
termination is in accordance with Section 18.A(ii) or  Section 18.A.(iii), and in all cases in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, with respect to each Subserviced Mortgage Loan as to which termination is effective: (i) account for
and turn over to Servicer (or its designee) all funds collected under such Subserviced Mortgage Loan, less only the compensation then due Subservicer and unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances made by Subservicer,

- 51 -

(ii) advise the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements that its Subserviced Loan will henceforth be serviced by Servicer, Servicer’s designee, Investor or Investor’s designee, as
directed by Servicer, (iii) promptly deliver to Servicer, Investor (or their designees), as directed by Servicer, all records and documents relating to such Subserviced Mortgage Loan that it may have in its possession, and (iv) if applicable, notify
the applicable Investor, Insurer or other party as required under the terms of any securitization on Servicer’s behalf of such termination in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, and (v) otherwise assist in the orderly transfer
and conversion of the servicing of the terminated Subserviced Mortgage Loan from Subservicer’s systems to Servicer or its designee and, in connection therewith, take all such actions as may be reasonably requested by Servicer or its designee.
If applicable, Servicer also shall be obligated to advise the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements that its Subserviced Loan will henceforth be serviced by Servicer, Servicer’s designee, Investor or
Investor’s designee, as applicable. 

                  C.       If Servicer terminates this Agreement in full with respect to all remaining Subserviced Mortgage Loans at any time during the Term pursuant
to Section 18.A.(ii) or Section 18.A.(iii) above, Servicer shall, subject to the Cap, either (i) pay Subservicer the related Early Termination Fee for the applicable Direct Cost Period or (ii) continue to pay Make Whole Payments for the Direct Cost
Periods remaining during the Term of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that Servicer shall have no obligation to pay the Early Termination Fee as a result of Servicer’s sale of any portion of the servicing rights with respect to the
Subserviced Mortgage Loans, but shall have the obligation to pay an Early Termination Fee only for termination in full of this Agreement as set forth in the preceding sentence. In addition to the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, if at any
time during the Term, as a result of one or more Bulk Sales (as defined in Section 16) by Servicer to Subservicer, the Purchased Servicing Rights Loans include an additional 175,000 Mortgage Loans exclusive of the Purchased Servicing Rights Loans on
the Closing Date, then Servicer shall have no further obligation to pay any Early Termination Fee. 

- 52 -

          19.    Termination by Subservicer.

                  A.      Subservicer may, by written notice to Servicer, terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or with respect to a portion of the Subserviced
Mortgage Loans to the extent the following relates to such portion: 

            (i)          For Cause.  Cause shall mean that (a) Servicer fails to perform its obligations or breaches its covenants hereunder and does not cure such
  failure within thirty (30) calendar days of written notice by Subservicer to Servicer of such failure of performance or breach, unless the Applicable Servicing Requirements or Applicable Law require cure within a shorter time period and, in such
  case, within the time period prescribed therein, provided, however, if Servicer is prosecuting a cure in good faith in a manner
    consistent with Applicable Servicing Requirements, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional sixty (60) days as long as Subservicer is not materially prejudiced by such extension of time to cure; (b) any representation or warranty
    of Servicer is breached, and Subservicer does not cure such breach within sixty (60) calendar days of written notice by Servicer to Subservicer, provided, however, if Servicer is prosecuting a cure in good faith in a manner consistent with Applicable Servicing Requirements, such cure period shall be extended for up to an additional thirty (30) days as long as
      Subservicer is not materially prejudiced by such extension of time to cure; (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have been commenced with respect to Servicer, or a decree or Order of an appropriate court, Governmental Body or
      Regulator for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator shall have been entered against Servicer, and such appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days; or any such proceeding continues undismissed or
      unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days, or an order for relief is entered in any such proceeding; (d) any assignment or attempted assignment by Servicer of this Agreement in violation of Section 26; or (e) an Agency, Investor or Regulator requires
      the termination hereof with respect to any Subserviced Mortgage Loans as a result of any event or occurrence described in the preceding clauses; provided, however, that any such termination shall be effective only with respect to the Subserviced Mortgage Loans subserviced for such Investor;

- 53 -

            (ii)          In the event an Agency, Investor or Regulator requires the termination hereof with respect to any Mortgage Loans subserviced under this
  Agreement other than for Cause. 

 Subservicer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement without cause during the Term. 

                  B.      Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination by Subservicer pursuant to Section 19.A(i) or Section 19.A.(ii) shall not be effective unless and
until a successor subservicer is appointed and the Subserviced Mortgage Loans have been transferred to and accepted by such successor subservicer.  Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain a successor subservicer as promptly as possible if
required by an applicable Servicing Agreement. 

                  C.      Upon a termination pursuant to Section 19.A (i) or Section 19.A.(ii), Subservicer shall identify, in its written notice, those Subserviced
Mortgage Loans as to which termination shall be effective if termination relates to a portion of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and not to the Agreement in its entirety.  In the event of such partial termination, this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect in all respects with respect to the continued subservicing of Subserviced Mortgage Loans not subject to such partial termination; provided, that Servicer shall have no
obligation to pay an Early Termination Fee or any Make Whole Payment related to any Direct Cost Period following the effective date of Subservicer’s partial or full termination of this Agreement other than for Cause.  Except as set forth
herein, any termination by the Subservicer shall terminate this Agreement in its entirety. Upon termination of the Agreement under this Section 19, Subservicer shall, at Subservicer’s expense if such termination was pursuant to Section
19.A(ii), and at Servicer’s expense if such termination was pursuant to Section 19.A(i) or if such termination results from the expiration of the Term, and in all cases in accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements, with respect to each
Subserviced Mortgage Loan as to which termination is effective: (i) account for and turn over to Servicer (or its designee) all funds collected under such Subserviced Mortgage Loan, less only the compensation then due Subservicer and unreimbursed
Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances made by Subservicer, (ii) advise the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements that its Subserviced Mortgage Loan will henceforth be serviced by Servicer, Servicer’s
designee, Investor or Investor’s designee, as directed by

- 54 -

Servicer, (iii) promptly deliver to Servicer, Investor (or their designees), as directed by Servicer, all records and documents relating to each Subserviced Mortgage Loan that it may have in its possession, and (iv) otherwise
assist in the orderly transfer and conversion of the servicing of the Subserviced Mortgage Loan from Subservicer’s systems to Servicer or its designee and, in connection therewith, take all such actions as may be reasonably requested by
Servicer or its designee. Subservicer also shall be obligated to advise the related Mortgagor in accordance with the Applicable Servicing Requirements that its Subserviced Loan will henceforth be serviced by Servicer, Servicer’s designee,
Investor or Investor’s designee, as applicable. 

          20.    Indemnity. 

                  A.      Independence of Parties.  The following terms shall govern the relationship between Servicer and
Subservicer: 

          (1)       Subservicer shall have the status of and act as an independent contractor, and 

          (2)       Subservicer shall not be responsible for representations, warranties or contractual obligations, or compliance with Applicable Servicing
Requirements, in connection with (a) the sale to or by any Investor of any Subserviced Mortgage Loans, or (b) the origination or servicing or subservicing of any of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans prior to the Effective Date and assumption of
subservicing of the related Subserviced Mortgage Loans by Subservicer pursuant to this Agreement. 

                  B.      Indemnification by Subservicer. Subservicer shall indemnify, defend and hold Servicer and its Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents harmless from any Damages resulting from or arising out of Subservicer’s failure to observe any or all of Subservicer’s covenants, agreements, warranties or
representations contained in this Agreement or the Applicable Servicing Requirements, excluding, however, any failure by Subservicer: 

          (1)       to make payment of money to a third Party which failure is attributable to a breach of this Agreement by Servicer hereunder; or 

- 55 -

          (2)        which is a result of Subservicer’s compliance with a written directive of the Servicer or any Investor; or 

          (3)       which is attributable to a failure of Servicer or any Investor or Prior Servicer to comply with Applicable Servicing Requirements.

                  C.      Indemnification by Servicer.  Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold the Subservicer and its Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents harmless from any Damages resulting from or arising out of

          (i)      Servicer’s failure to observe or perform any or all of Servicer’s covenants, agreements, warranties or representations contained
in this Agreement or the Applicable Servicing Requirements, excluding, however, any failure by Subservicer: 

          (1)     to make payment of money to a third Party which failure is attributable to a breach of this Agreement by Subservicer hereunder; or

          (2)       which is attributable to a failure of Subservicer to comply with Applicable Servicing Requirements. 

          (ii)       Subservicer’s compliance with written instructions of Servicer to the extent that such instructions are not in compliance with
Applicable Servicing Requirements; or 

          (iii)       any Recourse Obligation except to the extent that the requirement to pay or perform in respect of such Recourse Obligation arises out of
Subservicer’s breach of any Applicable Servicing Requirements or Subservicer’s breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement; or 

          (iv)       VA No Bids, and VA Buydowns resulting from or made to avoid a VA No Bid in connection with any VA-guaranteed Mortgage Loan, unless arising
out of Subservicer’s breach of any Applicable Servicing Requirements or Subservicer’s obligations under this Agreement; or 

- 56 -

          (v)       the continuation by Subservicer of the Past Practices of Servicer to the extent that such practices violate (or result in
  Subservicer’s subservicing hereunder being in violation of) any Applicable Servicing Requirements; or 

          (vi)       any act or omission or other event or circumstance to the extent occurring or arising prior to the Effective Date and related to the

accordance with Applicable Servicing Requirements); or 

          (vii)       any Litigation commenced against Subservicer after the Effective Date as a result of Subservicer’s acting as, or status as,
subservicer of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans hereunder, to the extent that such Litigation does not arise out of or result from (and is not in connection with) Subservicer’s breach of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
indemnification shall not include Damages arising out, relating to or resulting from Litigation pertaining to (i) any actual or alleged contract dispute between Subservicer and a Person retained by Subservicer to perform servicing-related activities
on its behalf, employment-related suits by Subservicer personnel, any tortious acts or omissions, (ii) Subservicer’s relationships with any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, vendors, suppliers or visitors
(other than Servicer) or (iii) any purported acts, errors or omissions of Subservicer; 

          (viii)       any failure of Subservicer to comply with Applicable Servicing Requirements or the requirements of this Agreement as a result of any
incomplete or missing Mortgage Loan Documents as of the Effective Date. 

                  D.      Survival.  The indemnification obligations set forth herein shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. 

                  E.      Notice of Settlement and Claims. Servicer and Subservicer shall use the procedures specified in the Asset

State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles contrary thereto (with references of Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligation Law which by its terms applies to this Agreement). 

          23.    Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Parties hereto
hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and any courts from which appeals from judgments of that court are heard) as to any dispute or claim as to which there
is subject matter jurisdiction in that court and, for all other disputes or claims, the Parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (and any courts from which appeals from judgments of
that court are heard) over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding
related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.  The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute
brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by applicable law. 

          EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT,

- 59 -

ANY DOCUMENT REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY,
AND (iv) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 22. 

          Each of the Parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any Party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions
of Section 21. 

          24.    Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits
hereto and thereto), together with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Servicing Purchase Agreement, the Transitional Services Agreement and those documents, instruments and certificates executed by one or both of the Parties in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, represent the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof.  This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such amendment,
supplement, modification or waiver is sought.  No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy
by such Party preclude any other or

- 60 -

further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. 

          25.    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of
being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 

          26.    Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third Party beneficiary rights in any Person not a Party to this Agreement except as provided below.  Except as provided
below, no assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Subservicer or Servicer without the prior written consent of Servicer or Subservicer, respectively, and any attempted assignment without the
required consents shall be void. Servicer may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of Servicer that succeeds to the Business of the Servicer or to any Person to which Servicer or any of its Affiliates
proposes to sell all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of Servicer or of such Affiliate or with which Servicer or such affiliate merges or consolidates, provided such assignee is the owner of the Servicing with respect to all of
the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and assumes all of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and provided, further, that notwithstanding any assignment by Servicer to an Affiliate, Servicer shall remain at all times obligated and liable
for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Subservicer may not assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of Subservicer that succeeds to the Business of the Subservicer or to any Person
to which Subservicer or any of its affiliates proposes to sell all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of Subservicer or of such affiliate or with which Subservicer or such affiliate merges or

- 61 -

consolidates without the prior written consent of Servicer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided such assignee meets the requirements of any Servicing Agreement or Applicable Servicing Requirements with
respect to eligibility to subservice the Subserviced Mortgage Loans and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and such assignee assumes all of the obligations of the Subservicer under this Agreement and provided, further, that
notwithstanding any assignment by Subservicer to an Affiliate, Subservicer shall remain at all times obligated and liable for the subservicing and administration of the Subserviced Mortgage Loans on the terms provided in this Agreement.  Upon any
such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Servicer or Subservicer shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires. 

          27.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. 

          28.    Further Assurances. Subservicer and Servicer each agree to execute and deliver to the other such
additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. Subservicer and Servicer shall cooperate in good faith to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          29.    Construction. The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party
by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

          30.    Publicity. The Parties hereto shall consult in good faith with each other as to the form and
substance of any press releases or other public announcements, including any related question and answer guidelines prepared or used by Servicer, related to the transactions contemplated hereby and any filings with any Governmental Body or with any
national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service with respect thereto prior to issuing any press release or other public announcement or making any filing.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to prohibit any Party from making any

- 62 -

disclosure or filing that it determines, upon the advice of counsel to the Party seeking to disclose, is required by law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or
interdealer quotation service or necessary in connection with any tax return or other document required to be filed with any Governmental Body or to prohibit Servicer from making disclosures in connection with other discussions, questions or
comments in connection with investor relations matters the principal focus of which is not specifically related to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that such disclosures or comments are not designed to adversely affect the reputation
or business of Subservicer or its affiliates. 

          31.    Force Majeure.  Subservicer shall not be liable for any delay at
any time in performing its obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent that (i) such delay is due to a cause beyond Subservicer’s reasonable control, (ii) Subservicer is without fault in causing such delay, and (iii) such delay could
not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and cannot reasonably be circumvented by the Subservicer through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means; provided, that Subservicer shall use its best efforts to re-commence
performance in accordance with the terms of Subservicer’s disaster recovery plan and the timeframes and procedures set forth therein. 

          32.    Time of Payment. Unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, any amount due to
Subservicer or Servicer under this Agreement will be due and payable thirty (30) days following receipt by the paying Party of the invoice from the other Party. All amounts will be payable by check or by ACH, in accordance with payment instructions
provided from time to time. 

          Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.F. hereof, any amount not paid when due as set forth in this Agreement will bear interest until paid at the Fed Funds Rate. If any portion of an amount due to
a Party under this Agreement is subject to a bona fide dispute between the Parties, the other Party will pay to that Party on the date such amount is due all amounts not disputed in good faith. 

          33.    General Interpretive Principles.  For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly
provided or unless the context otherwise requires: 

- 63 -

                  A.      Terms used in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement (as defined herein), and include the plural as well as the

                  B.      Accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. 

                  C.      References herein to a “Section,” shall be to the specified section(s) of this Agreement and shall include all subsections of such
section(s). 

                  D.      The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole
and not to any particular provisions. 

                  E.      Section headings and other similar headings are not to be considered part of this Agreement, are solely for convenience of reference, and
shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any of its provisions.
