 CITIGROUP GLOBAL
MARKETS HOLDINGS INC. 
  
 Stock Market Upturn NotesSM Based Upon 
 the
S&P 500 Index® Due February 28, 2006 
  
 Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc., a New York corporation (hereinafter
referred to as the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture herein referred to), for value received and on condition that this Note is not redeemed by the Company prior to February 28, 2006 (the
“Stated Maturity Date”), hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered assigns, the Maturity Payment (as defined below), on the Stated Maturity Date. This Note will not bear interest, is not subject to any sinking
fund, is not subject to redemption at the option of the holder thereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date, and is not subject to the defeasance provisions of the Indenture. 
  
 Payment of the Maturity Payment with respect to this Note shall be made upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the
corporate trust office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
  
 This Note is one of the series of 3,400,000 Stock Market Upturn
NotesSM Based Upon the S&P 500 Index® (the “Index”) Due February 28, 2006 (the “Notes”). 

 INTEREST 
  
 The Notes do not bear interest. No payments on the Notes will be made until the Stated Maturity Date. 
  
 PAYMENT AT MATURITY 
  
 On the Stated Maturity Date, holders of the Notes will receive for each Note
the Maturity Payment described below. 
  
 DETERMINATION OF THE MATURITY PAYMENT 
  
 The Maturity
Payment for each Note equals the sum of the initial principal amount of $10 per Note plus the Index Return Amount. 
  
 The “Index Return Amount” is calculated as follows: 
  

	 	•	If the Index Return is positive, the Index Return Amount will equal the product of: 

  
 $10 * Upside Participation Rate * Index Return 
  

	 	•	If the Index Return is negative, the Index Return Amount will equal the product of: 

  
 $10 * Index Return 
  

	 	•	If the Index Return is zero, the Index Return Amount will be zero. 

  
 The “Index Return” equals: 
  
 Ending Value – Starting Value 
 Starting Value 
  
 The “Upside Participation
Rate” is 300%. 
  
 The “Starting Value” is 1095.68,
the closing value of the Index on August 23, 2004. 
  
 The
“Ending Value” will be the closing value of the Index on the third Index Business Day before the Stated Maturity Date. 
  
 If no value (including a closing value) of the Index is available on any date of determination because of a Market Disruption Event or otherwise, unless
deferred by the calculation agent as described below, the value of the Index will be the arithmetic mean, as determined by the calculation agent, of the value of the Index obtained from as many dealers in equity securities (which may include
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or any of the Company’s other subsidiaries or affiliates), but not exceeding three such dealers, as will make such value available to the calculation agent. The determination of the value of the Index by the
calculation agent in the event no such closing value is available may be deferred by the calculation agent for up to five consecutive Index Business Days on which a Market Disruption Event is occurring, but not past the Index Business Day prior to
the Stated Maturity Date. 
  

 2 

 An “Index Business Day” means a day, as determined by the calculation agent, on which the Index
or any successor index is calculated and published and on which securities comprising more than 80% of the value of the Index on such day are capable of being traded on their relevant exchanges during the one-half hour before the determination of
the closing value of the Index. All determinations made by the calculation agent will be at the sole discretion of the calculation agent and will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the beneficial owners of the Notes,
absent manifest error. 
  
 A “Market Disruption Event”
means, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion, the occurrence or existence of any suspension of or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by any relevant exchange or market or
otherwise) of, or the unavailability, through a recognized system of public dissemination of transaction information, for a period longer than two hours, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of trading, on the applicable exchange,
of accurate price, volume or related information in respect of (a) stocks which then comprise 20% or more of the value of the Index or any successor index, (b) any options or futures contracts, or any options on such futures contracts relating to
the Index or any successor index, or (c) any options or futures contracts relating to stocks which then comprise 20% or more of the value of the value of the Index or any successor index on any exchange or market if, in each case, in the
determination of the calculation agent, any such suspension, limitation or unavailability is material. For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in the Index is materially
suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the value of the Index will be based on a comparison of the portion of the value of the Index attributable to that security relative to the
overall value of the Index, in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation. 
  
 DISCONTINUANCE OF THE S&P 500 INDEX® 
  
 If Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) discontinues publication of the Index or if it or another entity publishes a successor or substitute
index that the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Index, then the value of the Index will be determined by reference to the value of that index, which we refer to as a “successor index.”

  
 Upon any selection by the calculation agent of a successor
index, the calculation agent will cause notice to be furnished to the Company and the Trustee, who will provide notice of the selection of the successor index to the registered holders of the Notes. 
  
 If S&P discontinues publication of the Index and a successor index is not
selected by the calculation agent or is no longer published on any date of determination of the value of the index, the value to be substituted for the Index for that date will be a value computed by the calculation agent for that date in accordance
with the procedures last used to calculate the Index prior to any such discontinuance. 
  

 3 

 If S&P discontinues publication of the Index prior to the determination of the Index Return Amount
and the calculation agent determines that no successor index is available at that time, then on each Index Business Day until the earlier to occur of (a) the determination of the Index Return Amount and (b) a determination by the calculation agent
that a successor index is available, the calculation agent will determine the value that is to be used in computing the value of the Index as described in the preceding paragraph. The calculation agent will cause notice of those daily closing values
to be published not less often than once each month in The Wall Street Journal (or another newspaper of general circulation). 
  
 If a successor index is selected or the calculation agent calculates a value as a substitute for the Index as described above, the successor index or
value will be substituted for the Index for all purposes, including for purposes of determining whether an Index Business Day or Market Disruption Event occurs. 
  

All determinations made by the calculation agent will be at the sole discretion of the calculation agent and will be conclusive for all purposes and
binding on the Company and the beneficial owners of the Notes, absent manifest error. 
  
 ALTERATION OF METHOD OF CALCULATION 
  
 If at any time the method of calculating the Index or a successor index is changed in any material respect, or if the Index or any successor index is in
any other way modified so that the value of the Index or the successor index does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the value of that index had the changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after that time,
the calculation agent will, at the close of business in New York, New York, make those adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the calculation agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a calculation of a value of a stock index comparable
to the Index or the successor index as if the changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the value of the index with reference to the Index or the successor index. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or the successor
index is modified so that the value of the Index or any successor index is a fraction or a multiple of what it would have been if it had not been modified, then the calculation agent will adjust that index in order to arrive at a value of the index
as if it had not been modified. 
  
 GENERAL 
  
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue
of debt securities of the Company (the “Debt Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of October 27, 1993, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
November 28, 1997, a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 1, 1999, and as further supplemented from time to time (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the “Trustee”,
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders
of the Notes, and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 
  

 4 

 If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount
declared due and payable upon any acceleration permitted by the Indenture will be determined by the calculation agent and will be equal to, with respect to this Note, the Maturity Payment, calculated as though the Stated Maturity Date of this Note
were the date of early repayment. In case of default at Maturity of this Note, this Note shall bear interest, payable upon demand of the beneficial owners of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, from and after Maturity through the date
when payment of such amount has been made or duly provided for, at the rate of 3% per annum on the unpaid amount due. 
  
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding of each series
affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Debt Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon
such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
  
 The holder of this Note may not enforce such holder’s rights pursuant to
the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company to pay the Maturity Payment with respect to
this Note, and to pay any interest on any overdue amount thereof at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
  
 All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture but not in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purposes.

extent that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Company and/or the Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche. 
  

 17 

 The Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall make available for inspection by
any Purchaser or its designee the related Servicing File during the time the Purchaser retains ownership of a Mortgage Loan and thereafter in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 
  
 In addition to the foregoing, Company and/or the Servicer shall provide to
any supervisory agents or examiners that regulate Purchaser, including but not limited to, the OTS, the FDIC and other similar entities, access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice to Company and/or the Servicer and without
charge to Company and/or Servicer or such supervisory agents or examiners, to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans that may be required by any applicable regulator. 
  
 Section 2.06. Transfer of Mortgage Loans. 
  
 The Servicer shall keep at its servicing office books and records in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Servicer shall note transfers of Mortgage Loans. No transfer of a Mortgage Loan may be made unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms hereof. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to
deal with any person with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan unless a notice of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan has been delivered to the Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.06 and the books and records of the Servicer show
such person as the owner of the Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser may, subject to the terms of this Agreement, sell and transfer one or more of the Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that the transferee will not be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder
binding upon the Servicer unless such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and an original counterpart of the instrument of transfer in an Assignment and Assumption of this Agreement substantially in the form
of Exhibit D hereto executed by the transferee shall have been delivered to the Servicer. The Purchaser also shall advise the Servicer of the transfer. Upon receipt of notice of the transfer, the Servicer shall mark its books and records to reflect
the ownership of the Mortgage Loans of such assignee, and the previous Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loans sold or transferred. 
  
 Section 2.07 Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. 
  
 The Company and/or the Servicer shall deliver and release to the Purchaser or its designee the Mortgage Loan Documents in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet. The documents enumerated as items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (16) in Exhibit A hereto shall be delivered by the Company and/or the Servicer to the Purchaser
or its designee no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the related Closing Date pursuant to a bailee letter agreement. All other documents in Exhibit A hereto, together with all other documents executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan
that the Servicer may have in its possession, shall be retained by the Servicer in trust for the Purchaser. If the Servicer cannot deliver the original recorded Mortgage Loan Documents or the original policy of title insurance, including riders and
endorsements thereto, on the related Closing Date, the Servicer shall, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later 
  

 18 

 than one hundred twenty (120) days from the related Closing Date, deliver such original documents, including original
recorded documents, to the Purchaser or its designee (unless the Servicer is delayed in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office). If delivery is not completed
within one hundred twenty (120) days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Servicer shall deliver such document to Purchaser, or
its designee, within such time period as specified in a Servicer’s Officer’s Certificate. In the event that documents have not been received by the date specified in the Servicer’s Officer’s Certificate, a subsequent
Servicer’s Officer’s Certificate shall be delivered by such date specified in the prior Servicer’s Officer’s Certificate, stating a revised date for receipt of documentation. The procedure shall be repeated until the documents
have been received and delivered. If delivery is not completed within one hundred eighty (180) days solely due to delays in making such delivery by reason of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate recording
office, the Servicer shall continue to use its best efforts to effect delivery as soon as possible thereafter, provided that if such documents are not delivered by the 270th day from the date of the related Closing Date, the Company shall repurchase
the related Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof. 
  
 For each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company shall pay all initial recording fees, if any, for the assignments of mortgage and any other fees in connection with the transfer of all original
documents to the Purchaser or its designee. Company shall prepare, in recordable form, all assignments of mortgage necessary to assign the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser, or its designee. Company shall be responsible for recording the assignments of
mortgage. 
  
 In addition, in connection with the assignment of
any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Company agrees that it will cause, at its own expense, the MERS® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Company to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the Purchaser of such Mortgage Loans. The Company further agrees that it will not alter the information referenced in this paragraph
with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 Servicer shall provide an original or duplicate original of the title insurance policy to Purchaser or its designee no later
than ninety (90) days of the receipt of the recorded documents from the applicable recording office. 
  
 Any review by the Purchaser, or its designee, of the Mortgage Files shall in no way alter or reduce the Company’s or the Servicer’s obligations
hereunder. 
  
 If the Purchaser or its designee discovers any
defect with respect to a Mortgage File, the Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee to, give written specification of such defect to the Servicer and the Company which may be given in the exception report or the certification delivered pursuant
to this Section 2.07, or otherwise in writing and the Company shall cure or repurchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.03. 
  

 19 

 The Servicer shall forward to the Purchaser, or its designee, original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan entered into in accordance with Section 4.01 or 6.01 within one week of their execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Purchaser, or its designee,
with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within one week of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified to be a true and complete copy
of the original within sixty (60) days of its submission for recordation. 
  
 From time to time the Servicer may have a need for Mortgage Loan Documents to be released from Purchaser, or its designee. Purchaser shall, or shall cause its designee, upon the written request of the Servicer, within
ten (10) Business Days, deliver to the Servicer, any requested documentation previously delivered to Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, provided that such documentation is promptly returned to Purchaser, or its designee, when the Servicer no
longer requires possession of the document, and provided that during the time that any such documentation is held by the Servicer, such possession is in trust for the benefit of Purchaser. Servicer shall indemnify Purchaser, and its designee, from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from or related to the loss, damage, or misplacement of any documentation
delivered to Servicer pursuant to this paragraph. 
  
 Section 2.08
Quality Control Procedures. 
  
 Each of the Company and
the Servicer must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of
evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting
principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons. 
  

Section 2.09 Near-term Principal Prepayments; Near Term Payment Defaults 
  
 In the event any Principal Prepayment in full is made by a Mortgagor on or prior to three months after the related Closing
Date, the Company shall remit to the Purchaser an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Purchase Price Percentage over par multiplied by the amount of such Principal Prepayment. Such remittance shall be made by the Company to Purchaser no later
than the third Business Day following receipt of such Principal Prepayment by the Company. 
  
 In the event either of the first three (3) scheduled Monthly Payments which are due under any Mortgage Loan after the related Cut-off Date are not made during the month in which such Monthly Payments are due, then not
later than five (5) Business Days after notice to the Company by Purchaser (and at Purchaser’s sole option), the Company, shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Purchaser pursuant to the repurchase provisions contained in this Subsection
3.03. 
  

 20 

 Section 2.10 Modification of Obligations. Purchaser may, without any notice to Company or the
Servicer, extend, compromise, renew, release, change, modify, adjust or alter, by operation of law or otherwise, any of the obligations of the Mortgagors or other persons obligated under a Mortgage Loan without releasing or otherwise affecting the
obligations of Company or the Servicer under this Agreement, or with respect to such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent Purchaser’s extension, compromise, release, change, modification, adjustment, or alteration affects Company’s or
Servicer’s ability to collect the Mortgage Loan or realize on the security of the Mortgage, but then only to the extent such action has such effect or reduces the Servicing Fee. 
  
 Section 2.11 Guarantee of Company’s Obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 The Servicer guarantees the performance by the Company of the Company’s
obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, the repurchase and substitution obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 3.03 and the indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 8.01.

 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF 
 THE COMPANY AND THE SERVICER; REPURCHASE; REVIEW OF MORTGAGE LOANS 
  
 Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Company and Servicer. 
  
 The Company and the Servicer each represent, warrant and covenant to the Purchaser that, as of the related Closing Date or as of such date specifically
provided herein: 
  
 (a) Each of the Company and the Servicer is
a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all licenses necessary to carry out its business as now being conducted, and is licensed and qualified to transact business in and
is in good standing under the laws of each state in which any Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise exempt under applicable law from such licensing or qualification or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect such licensing
or qualification and no demand for such licensing or qualification has been made upon such Company or Servicer by any such state, and in any event such Company or Servicer is in compliance with the laws of any such state to the extent necessary to
ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage Loan and the servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; 
  
 (b) Each of the Company and the Servicer, as applicable, has the full power and authority and legal right to hold, transfer and convey each Mortgage Loan,
to sell each Mortgage Loan and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and to conduct its business as presently conducted, has duly authorized the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any agreements contemplated hereby, has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, and any agreements contemplated hereby, and this
Agreement and the related Term Sheet and each Assignment to the Purchaser and any agreements contemplated hereby, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Company and the Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms, and all requisite corporate action has been taken by each of the Company and the Servicer to make this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and all agreements contemplated hereby valid and binding upon each of the Company and the Servicer
in accordance with their terms; 
  
 (c) Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, nor the origination or purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Company, the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the
fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet will conflict 
  

 22 

 with any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Company’s or the Servicer’s charter or by-laws or
materially conflict with or result in a material breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any legal restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Company or the Servicer is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute
a default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in the material violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or the Servicer or their properties are subject, or impair the
ability of the Purchaser to realize on the Mortgage Loans. 
  
 (d)
There is no litigation, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of Company’s and Servicer’s knowledge, threatened, or any order or decree outstanding, with respect to the Company or the Servicer which, either in any one
instance or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, or which is reasonably
likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company or the Servicer. 
  
 (e) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by
the Company or the Servicer of or compliance by the Company or the Servicer with this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, or the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, except for consents, approvals, authorizations and orders which have been obtained; 
  
 (f) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the related Term Sheet is in the ordinary course of business of each of the
Company and the Servicer, and the transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the related Term Sheet are not subject to bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in
effect in any applicable jurisdiction; 
  
 (g) The origination and
servicing practices used by the Company and the Servicer, as applicable, and any prior originator or servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the Mortgage
Loan Documents, and in all material respects proper and prudent in the mortgage origination and servicing business. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to escrow deposits and
payments that the Servicer, on behalf of an investor, is entitled to collect, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Servicer, and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements
for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow,
escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or
payments due under the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; 
  

 23 

 (h) Neither the Company nor the Servicer has knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to
the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause such Mortgage Loan to become delinquent
or adversely affect the value or the marketability of the Mortgage Loan. The Company did not select the Mortgage Loans sold to Purchaser based on any adverse selection of mortgage loans in its portfolio that met Purchaser’s purchase parameters
for this transaction (as such parameters are set forth in the Confirmation), including without limitation, the location or condition of the Mortgaged Property, payment pattern of the borrower or any other factor that may adversely affect the
expected cost of foreclosing, owning or holding the Mortgage Loans or related Mortgaged Property or collecting the insurance or guarantee proceeds related thereto; 
  
 (i) The Company will treat the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as a financing for accounting purposes and for
federal income tax purposes; 
  
 (j) Servicer is an approved
seller/servicer of residential mortgage loans for Fannie Mae, FHLMC and HUD, with such facilities, procedures and personnel necessary for the sound servicing of such mortgage loans. The Servicer is duly qualified, licensed, registered and otherwise
authorized under all applicable federal, state and local laws, and regulations, if applicable, and is in good standing to sell mortgage loans to and service mortgage loans for Fannie Mae and FHLMC and no event has occurred which would make Servicer
unable to comply with eligibility requirements or which would require notification to either Fannie Mae or FHLMC; 
  
 (k) Each of the Company and the Servicer does not believe, nor does it have any cause or reason to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant
contained in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet. Each of the Company and the Servicer is solvent and the sale of the Mortgage Loans will not cause the Company or the Servicer to become insolvent. The sale of the Mortgage Loans is not
undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of the Company’s or the Servicer’s creditors; 
  
 (l) No statement, tape, diskette, form, report or other document prepared by, or on behalf of, Company or the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or the
related Term Sheet or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will, as of the date such documentation is delivered by the Company or the Servicer, contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any
material respect; 
  
 (m) The Servicer acknowledges and agrees
that the Servicing Fee represents reasonable compensation for performing such services and that the entire Servicing Fee shall be treated by the Servicer, for accounting and tax purposes, as compensation for the servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement. In the opinion of Company, the consideration received by Company upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Purchaser under this Agreement and the related Term Sheet constitutes fair consideration for the
Mortgage Loans under current market conditions. 
  

 24 

 (n) Each of the Company and the Servicer has delivered to the Purchaser financial statements of its
parent, for its last two complete fiscal years. All such financial information fairly presents the pertinent results of operations and financial position for the period identified and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the periods involved, except as set forth in the notes thereto. There has been no change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Company or the Servicer since the date of the Company’s and
Servicer’s financial information that would have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; 
  
 (o) The Company has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in
connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans; 
  
 Section 3.02
Representations and Warranties as to Individual Mortgage Loans. 
  
 References in this Section to percentages of Mortgage Loans refer in each case to the percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, based on the outstanding Stated Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Cut-off Date, and giving effect to scheduled Monthly Payments due on or prior to the related Cut-off Date, whether or not received. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties refer, in each
case, to the percentages of expected aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans (determined as described in the preceding sentence). The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of
the related Closing Date as follows: 
  
 (a) The information set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the related Cut-Off Date; 
  
 (b) The Mortgage creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property
securing the related Mortgage Note subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors; 
  
 (c) All payments due prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan have been made as of the related Closing Date;
the Mortgage Loan has not been dishonored; there are no material defaults under the terms of the Mortgage Loan; neither the Company, the Servicer nor any subservicer has advanced its own funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance
of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan. As of the related Closing Date, all of the Mortgage Loans will have an
actual Interest Paid to Date of their related Cut-off Date(or later) and will be due for the scheduled monthly payment next succeeding the Cut-off Date (or later), as evidenced by a posting to Servicer’s servicing collection system. No payment
under any Mortgage Loan is delinquent as of the related Closing Date nor has any scheduled payment been delinquent at 
  

 25 

 any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the month of the related Closing Date. For purposes of this paragraph, a
Mortgage Loan will be deemed delinquent if any payment due thereunder was not paid by the Mortgagor in the month such payment was due; 
  
 (d) The origination and collection practices used by the Company and the Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all
respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Servicer and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Servicer and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not
been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Servicer have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Servicer for
any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed; 
  
 (e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or,
necessary to protect the interest of the Purchaser. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed except in connection with a modification agreement and which modification agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms
of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage
File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, Lender Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy and title insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies; 
  
 (f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of
the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto; and as of the related Closing Date the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding;

  
 (g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements
upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guides, against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Fannie Mae or FHLMC Guide, as well as all
additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Servicer and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee
and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the 
  

 26 

 Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal
Insurance Administration which policy conforms to Fannie Mae or FHLMC requirements and was issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, as well as all additional requirements set forth in Section 4.10 of this Agreement. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost
and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Neither the Company, the Servicer (nor any prior originator, servicer or subservicer of any of the Mortgage Loans) nor any Mortgagor has engaged in any act or omission which has
impaired or would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either; 
  
 (h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material respects; none of the Mortgage Loans are classified as a (a) a “high cost” loan under the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) a “high cost”, “threshold”, or “predatory” loan under any other applicable state, federal or local law; each of the Company and the Servicer maintains, and shall
maintain, evidence of such compliance as required by applicable law or regulation and shall make such evidence available for inspection at the Company’s and Servicer’s office during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice;

  
 (i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or
subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination
or rescission. The Servicer has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Servicer waived any default resulting from
any action or inaction by the Mortgagor; 
  
 (j) The Mortgage is a
valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such
buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Mortgage Note’s original principal balance subject to principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general
application affecting the rights of creditors. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances
having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator or otherwise
considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the residential use or Appraised Value of the Mortgaged 
  

 27 

 Property as set forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage
or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and the
Company has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser; 
  
 (k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to
principles of equity, bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, and the Company has taken all action necessary to transfer such rights of enforceability to the Purchaser. All parties to the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan Documents are on forms acceptable to Fannie Mae and FHLMC. The Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Company, the Servicer or the Mortgagor,
or, to the best of Company’s and the Servicer’s knowledge, information and belief, and after due inquiry, on the part of any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have
been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All
costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; 
  
 (l) The Company is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the
indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Servicer will retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s designee in
trust only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an
assignment, sale or pledge to any person other than Purchaser, and the Company had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Agreement and following the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Company intends to relinquish
all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan, except for the purposes of the Servicer servicing the Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement. After the related Closing Date, neither the Company nor the Servicer will have any
right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the 
  

 28 

 Mortgage Loan and neither the Company nor the Servicer will have any obligation or right to repurchase the Mortgage Loan
or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the Company and/or the Servicer and the Purchaser; 
  
 (m) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to
Fannie Mae or FHLMC (including adjustable rate endorsements), issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions
contained in (j)(1), (2) and (3) above) the Servicer, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose
the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. The Servicer, its successors and assigns, is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the
assignment to the Purchaser of the Servicer’s interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including the Company, the Servicer, nor any
Mortgagor, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy; 
  
 (n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, and to the knowledge of the Company or the Servicer, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; and neither the Company, the
Servicer, any subservicer, nor any prior mortgagee has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration; 
  
 (o) There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under
law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage; 
  
 (p) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances; 
  
 (q) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by or for the Company pursuant to, and conforms with, the Company’s underwriting
guidelines attached as Exhibit H hereto. The Mortgage Loan bears 
  

 29 

 interest at an adjustable rate (if applicable) as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments
under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of the Company at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder; 
  
 (r) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage. At origination of the Mortgage Loan there was not, since origination of the Mortgage
Loan there has not been, and there currently is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. Neither the Company nor the Servicer has received notification that any such proceedings are scheduled to commence
at a future date; 
  
 (s) The related Mortgage contains customary
and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a
trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage; 
  
 (t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or
expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default by the Mortgagor; 
  
 (u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal, if required, of the related
Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by a Qualified Appraiser, approved by the Servicer, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security
thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or FHLMC and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC; 
  
 (v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as
mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal
offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state; 
  

 30 

 (w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the
corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as security for any other obligation; 
  
 (x) The Mortgagor has received and has executed, where applicable, all
disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans; 
  
 (y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain balloon or “graduated payment” features; No Mortgage Loan is subject to a buydown agreement or contains
any buydown provision; 
  
 (z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy
and, the Mortgagor is not insolvent and neither the Company nor the Servicer has knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could
reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan; 
  
 (aa) Each Mortgage Loan bears interest based upon a thirty (30) day month and
a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. The Mortgage Loans have an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on each
applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index, plus the applicable Margin; provided, that the Mortgage Interest Rate, on each applicable Adjustment Date, will not increase by more than the
Initial Rate Cap or Periodic Rate Cap, as applicable. Over the term of each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Interest Rate will not exceed such Mortgage Loan’s Lifetime Rate Cap. Each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is
sufficient, during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest
at the related Mortgage Interest Rate; provided however, with respect to any Interest Only Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Note allows a Monthly Payment of interest only during the first 10 years from origination, and after the first 10 years from
origination, the Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment of principal and interest, sufficient to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage
Interest Rate changes on an adjustment date, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization. None of
the Mortgage Loans contain a conversion feature which would cause the Mortgage Loan interest rate to convert to a fixed interest rate. None of the Mortgage Loans are considered agricultural loans;

 (ee) (INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) 
  
 (ff) (INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) 
  
 (gg) (INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK) 
  
 (hh) In the event the Mortgage Loan had an LTV at origination greater than 80.00%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over 75.0% of
the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan was insured as to payment
defaults by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV over 95%. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and
effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts known to the Company or the Servicer
exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, subject
to state and federal law, and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, on or prior to the Closing Date which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to
coverage under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to
the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Company, the Servicer or the Mortgagor, or for any other reason under such coverage. The mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set
forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Servicer to maintain the Lender Primary Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums
and charges in connection therewith; 
  
 (ii) The Assignment is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located; 
  
 (jj) Unless otherwise indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are secured by an interest in a leasehold estate. The Mortgaged
Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property or contiguous parcels bearing one legal description and tax assessment number with a detached single family residence
erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to-four family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that no
residence or dwelling is a single 
  

 32 

 parcel of real property with a manufactured home not affixed to a permanent foundation, or a mobile home. Any condominium
unit or planned unit development conforms with the Company’s underwriting guidelines. As of the date of origination, no portion of any Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes, and since the Origination Date to the best of the
Company’s and the Servicer’s knowledge, no portion of any Mortgaged Property has been, or currently is, used for commercial purposes; 
  
 (kk) Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in monthly installments of principal, if applicable, and interest, which installments are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with
interest calculated and payable in arrears; 
  
 (ll) As of the
Closing Date of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law, and all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and,
with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities; 
  
 (mm) There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the
Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and neither the Company nor the Servicer
has received any notice of any environmental hazard on the Mortgaged Property and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said
property; 
  
 (nn) The Mortgagor has not notified the Company or
the Servicer, and neither the Company nor the Servicer has knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act; 
  
 (oo) No Mortgage Loan is a construction or rehabilitation Mortgage Loan or was made to facilitate the trade-in or exchange
of a Mortgaged Property; 
  
 (pp) The Mortgagor for each Mortgage
Loan is a natural person or an Illinois land trust or an inter vivos revocable trust acceptable to Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac; 
  
 (qq) None of the Mortgage Loans are Co-op Loans; 
  
 (rr) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a prepayment penalty feature, each such prepayment penalty is enforceable and will be enforced by the
Servicer and each prepayment penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. No Mortgage Loan will impose a prepayment penalty for a term in excess of five years from the date such Mortgage Loan was originated. Except as otherwise set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that contains 
  

 33 

 a prepayment penalty, such prepayment penalty is at least equal to the lesser of (A) the maximum amount permitted under
applicable law and (B) six months interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate on the amount prepaid in excess of 20% of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan; 
  
 (ss) With respect to each Mortgage Loan either (i) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage
Loan was at least equal to 80 percent of the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the time such Mortgage Loan was originated or (ii) (a) the Mortgage Loan is only secured by the Mortgage Property and (b) substantially all of the
proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire or to improve or protect the Mortgage Property. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan has been significantly modified other than as a result of a default or a reasonable
foreseeable default, the modified Mortgage Loan will be viewed as having been originated on the date of the modification; 
  
 (tt) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the
National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority; 
  
 (uu) None of the Mortgage Loans are simple interest Mortgage Loans and none
of the Mortgaged Properties are timeshares; 
  
 (vv) All of the
terms of the Mortgage pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are enforceable, all such adjustments have been properly made, including the mailing of required notices, and
such adjustments do not and will not affect the priority of the Mortgage lien. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which has passed its initial Adjustment Date, the Servicer has performed an audit of the Mortgage Loan to determine whether all
interest rate adjustments have been made in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage; 
  
 (ww) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment and any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the Purchaser or
its designee, or its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the related Closing Date, delivered to the Purchaser or its designee, or its assignee; 
  
 (xx) Each Mortgage Loan complies with, and each of the Company and the Servicer and any subservicer has complied with,
applicable local, state and federal laws, regulations and other requirements including, without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement procedures, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, disclosure laws and all applicable
predatory and abusive lending laws and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation, the receipt of interest by the owner of such Mortgage Loan, will not involve the violation of any such laws, rules or
regulations. None of the Mortgage Loans are (a) Mortgage Loans subject to 12 CFR Part 226.31, 12 CFR Part 226.32 or 226.34 of Regulation Z, the regulation implementing TILA, which implements the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as
amended, or (b) except as 
  

 34 

 may be provided in subparagraph (c) below, classified and/or defined, as a “high cost”, “threshold”,
“predatory” “high risk home loan” or “covered” loan (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under a law imposing additional legal liability for mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and
or/fees) under any other applicable state, federal or local law including, but not limited to, the States of Georgia, New York, North Carolina, Arkansas, Kentucky or New Mexico or (c) Mortgage Loans subject to the New Jersey Home Ownership Security
Act of 2002 (the “Act”), unless such Mortgage Loan is a (1) “Home Loan” as defined in the Act that is a first lien Mortgage Loan, which is not a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Act or (2) “Covered Home
Loan” as defined in the Act that is a first lien purchase money Mortgage Loan, which is not a High Cost Home Loan under the Act. In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgaged
Property is located in New Jersey is a Home Loan as defined in the Act that was made, arranged, or assigned by a person selling either a manufactured home or home improvements to the Mortgaged Property or was made by an originator to whom the
Mortgagor was referred by any such seller. Each Mortgage Loan is being (and has been) serviced in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and applicable state and federal laws, including, without limitation, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act and
other consumer protection laws, real estate settlement procedures, usury, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws. Each of the Company and the Servicer shall maintain in its possession, available for the Purchaser’s inspection, as
appropriate, and shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements; 
  
 (yy) There is no Mortgage Loan that was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003, which is secured by property located in the State
of Georgia; 
  
 (zz) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used
to finance single premium credit insurance policies; 
  
 (aaa)
Each Mortgage is in compliance with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of Fannie Mae’s Selling Guide; 
  
 (bbb) No borrower was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost
product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such borrower did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by
the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator. If, at the time of loan application, the borrower may have qualified for a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the
Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the borrower’s application to such affiliate for underwriting consideration; 
  

(ccc) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate the
borrower’s income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the borrower’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit
extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the borrower had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan; 
  

 35 

 (ddd) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition of a premium upon
a prepayment prior to maturity: (i) prior to the loan’s origination, the borrower agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the loan’s origination, the
borrower was offered the option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the prepayment premium is disclosed to the borrower in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law, and (iv)
notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Servicer shall not impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the borrower’s default in making the loan payments; and

disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit. No borrower obtained a prepaid single premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the origination of
the Mortgage Loan; No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan. 
  
 Section 3.03 Repurchase; Substitution. 
  
 It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans and delivery of the Mortgage Loan Documents to the Purchaser, or its designee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination, or lack of examination, of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by the Company, the Servicer or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which
materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. The Company shall have a period of sixty (60)
days from the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach within which to correct or cure such breach. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that if any such breach is not corrected or cured within such sixty day period,
the Company shall, at the Purchaser’s option and not later than ninety (90) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price or, with the Purchaser’s prior consent and at
Purchaser’s sole option, substitute a Mortgage Loan as provided below. In the event that any such breach shall involve any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01, and such breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of the earlier
of either discovery by or notice to the Company of such breach, all Mortgage Loans shall, at the option of the Purchaser, be repurchased by the Company at the Repurchase Price. Any such repurchase shall be accomplished by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to Purchaser in the amount of the Repurchase Price. 
  

 36 

 If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Company
may, with the Purchaser’s prior consent and at Purchaser’s sole option, within ninety (90) days from the related Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for
such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan is subject to Purchaser acceptability. Any substituted Loans will comply with the representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement as of the substitution date 
  
 The Company and/or the
Servicer shall amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment, the Purchaser shall review the
Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon
during such month shall be the property of the Purchaser and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Company.
The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Company and the principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such date shall be the
property of the Purchaser. 
  
 It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Company set forth in this Section 3.03 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan, and to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of
the foregoing representations and warranties. If the Company fails to repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03, or fails to cure a defective Mortgage Loan to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction
in accordance with this Section 3.03, or to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01, that failure shall be an Event of Default and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue all remedies available in this Agreement as a result thereof. No
provision of this paragraph shall affect the rights of the Purchaser to terminate this Agreement for cause, as set forth in Sections 10.01 and 11.01. 
  
 Any cause of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Sections 3.01 and 3.02
shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) the earlier of discovery of such breach by the Company or the Servicer or notice thereof by the Purchaser to the Company or the Servicer, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach or repurchase
such Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the Purchaser for compliance with this Agreement. 
  
 In the event that any Mortgage Loan is held by a REMIC, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that
is not in default or as to which no default is imminent, no substitution pursuant to Subsection 3.03 shall be made after the applicable REMIC’s “start up day” (as defined in Section 860G(a) (9) of the Code), unless the Servicer has
obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition 
  

 37 

 of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of such REMIC (as defined in Section 860F of the Code) or otherwise
subject the REMIC to tax, or (ii) cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time.

 ARTICLE IV 
  
 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS 
  
 Section 4.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer. 
  
 The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and with Accepted
Servicing Practices, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the
terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices and exercise the same care that it customarily employs for its own account. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with
the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides (special servicing option), which include, but are not limited to, provisions regarding the liquidation of Mortgage Loans, the collection of Mortgage Loan payments, the payment of taxes, insurance
and other charges, the maintenance of hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer, the maintenance of mortgage impairment insurance, the maintenance of fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance, inspections, the restoration of Mortgaged
Property, the maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, insurance claims, the title, management and disposition of REO Property, permitted withdrawals with respect to REO Property, liquidation
reports, and reports of foreclosures and abandonments of Mortgaged Property, the transfer of Mortgaged Property, the release of Mortgage Files, annual statements, and examination of records and facilities. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency
or discrepancy between any of the 
  

 39 

 servicing provisions of this Agreement and the related Term Sheet and any of the servicing provisions of the Fannie Mae
Guides, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and be binding upon the Purchaser and the Servicer. 
  
 Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any
such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the Purchaser, provided, however, that
unless the Servicer has obtained the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer for more than ninety (90) days or
forgive any payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. In the event of any such modification which has
been agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and which permits the deferral of interest or principal payments on any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date in any month in which any such
principal or interest payment has been deferred, deposit in the Custodial Account from its own funds, in accordance with Section 4.04, the difference between (a) such month’s principal and one month’s interest at the Mortgage Loan
Remittance Rate on the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the amount paid by the Mortgagor. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such advances to the same extent as for all other advances pursuant to Section 4.05.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to prepare, execute and deliver, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may not enter into a forbearance agreement or similar arrangement with
respect to any Mortgage Loan which runs more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the first delinquent Due Date. Any such agreement shall be approved by Purchaser and, if required, by the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer and Lender
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy insurer, if required. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to a Pass-Through Transfer, the Servicer (a) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall not permit any modification with respect to such
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate and (b) shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to such Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of such Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) or (ii) cause any REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup date under the REMIC Provisions. 
  
 Prior to taking any action with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject to a
Pass-Through Transfer, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer will obtain an 
  

 40 

 Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the trustee in such Pass-Through Transfer with respect to whether such action could
result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)(either
such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”), and the Servicer shall not take any such actions as to which it has been advised that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. 
  
 The Servicer shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in
any REMIC. The Servicer shall not enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit a REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. 
  
 In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall employ Accepted Servicing Practices, giving due consideration to the
Purchaser’s reliance on the Servicer. Unless a different time period is stated in this Agreement or the related Term Sheet, Purchaser shall be deemed to have given consent in connection with a particular matter if Purchaser does not
affirmatively grant or deny consent within five (5) Business Days from the date Purchaser receives a second written request for consent for such matter from Servicer as servicer. 
  
 The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer provided that the Subservicer is an entity
that engages in the business of servicing loans, and in either case shall be authorized to transact business, and licensed to service mortgage loans, in the state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a FHLMC or Fannie Mae approved mortgage servicer in good standing, and no event
has occurred, including but not limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by Fannie Mae or for seller/servicers imposed by Fannie Mae or FHLMC, or which
would require notification to Fannie Mae or FHLMC. In addition, each Subservicer will obtain and preserve its qualifications to do business as a foreign corporation and its licenses to service mortgage loans, in each jurisdiction in which such
qualifications and/or licenses are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform or cause to be performed its duties under the related Subservicing Agreement. The
Servicer may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of the Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of
its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the
Subservicer from its own funds, and the Subservicer’s fee shall not exceed the Servicing Fee. Servicer shall notify Purchaser promptly in writing upon the appointment of any Subservicer. 
  

 41 

 At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right of reimbursement from the Custodial Account,
the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer and arrange for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor subservicer meeting the requirements in the preceding paragraph, provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the Servicer’s option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties
under this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 and if requested to do so by the Purchaser, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer effective as of
the date of termination of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of the Subservicer from the Servicer’s own funds without reimbursement from the
Purchaser. 
  
 Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and the Subservicer or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations to the Purchaser and shall
be obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with the Subservicer for indemnification of the
Servicer by the Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. The Servicer will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any loss, liability or expense arising out of its use of a
Subservicer to perform any of its servicing duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder. 
  
 Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving the Subservicer shall be deemed to be between
the Subservicer and Servicer alone, and the Purchaser shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability of Purchaser to pay the Subservicer’s fees and expenses. For
purposes of distributions and advances by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when the Subservicer has received such payment. 
  
 Section 4.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. 
  
 Continuously from the date hereof until the date each Mortgage Loan ceases
to be subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement,
Accepted Servicing Practices, and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to
the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, the Servicer will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual escrow payments, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage, will become due and payable, so that the
installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable. 
  

 42 

 In no event will the Servicer waive its right to any prepayment penalty or premium without the prior
written consent of Purchaser and Servicer will use diligent efforts to collect same when due except as otherwise provided in the prepayment penalty rider to the Mortgage. 
  
 Section 4.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage 
  
 The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the procedures that the Servicer would use in servicing loans for
its own account, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and the best interest of Purchaser, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership
of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 4.01. Foreclosure or comparable proceedings
shall be initiated within ninety (90) days of default for Mortgaged Properties for which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, subject to state and federal law and regulation. The Servicer shall use its best
efforts to realize upon defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Purchaser, taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The Servicer, on behalf of the
Purchaser, may also, in its discretion, as an alternative to foreclosure, sell defaulted Mortgage Loans at fair market value to third-parties, if the Servicer reasonably believes that such sale would maximize proceeds to the Purchaser in the
aggregate (on a present value basis) with respect to those Mortgage Loans. The foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser after reimbursement to itself for such
expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, REO Disposition Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 4.05.
Servicer shall obtain prior approval of Purchaser as to repair or restoration expenses in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and not less than
five (5) days prior to the acceptance or rejection of any offer of reinstatement. The Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings or functions; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof from the related property, as contemplated in Section 4.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in the event the Servicer
has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Purchaser otherwise requests an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged Property, such an inspection or
review is to be conducted by a qualified inspector at the Purchaser’s expense. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide the Purchaser with a written report of the environmental inspection. After reviewing the
environmental inspection report, the Purchaser shall determine how the Servicer shall proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. 
  

 43 

 In the event that a Mortgage Loan becomes part of a REMIC, and becomes REO Property, such property shall
be disposed of by the Servicer, with the consent of Purchaser as required pursuant to this Agreement, before the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, unless the Servicer
provides to the trustee under such REMIC an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year following the taxable year in which the Mortgage Loan became an REO Property, will
not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the transaction to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that certificates are outstanding. Servicer shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate each such REO Property for the certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within
the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(E) of the Code, or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC provisions of the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Servicer shall either
itself or through an agent selected by Servicer, protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such an extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located. Additionally, Servicer shall perform the tax withholding and
reporting related to Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code. 
  
 Section 4.04 Establishment of Custodial Accounts; Deposits in Custodial Accounts. 
  
 The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts. The Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds, deposited in the Custodial Account shall at all times be insured by the FDIC up to the FDIC insurance limits,
or must be invested in Permitted Investments for the benefit of the Purchaser. Funds deposited in the Custodial Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.05. The creation of any Custodial Account shall be evidenced by a
letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit B hereto. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon the request of any subsequent Purchaser. 
  
 The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis,
and in the Custodial Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt of funds, and retain therein the following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but
allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date: 
  
 (i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments and related penalties, on the Mortgage Loans; 
  
 (ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans adjusted to
the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate; 
  
 (iii) all Net Liquidation
Proceeds; 
  

 44 

 (iv) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in connection with any REO Property pursuant to
Section 4.13 and in connection therewith, the Servicer shall provide the Purchaser with written detail itemizing all of such amounts; 
  
 (v) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11, other than proceeds to be held in the
Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Mortgage Loan Documents or applicable law; 
  
 (vi) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the loan documents or applicable law; 
  
 (vii) any Monthly Advances; 
  
 (viii) with respect to each full or partial Principal Prepayment, any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, to the extent of the Servicer’s aggregate
Servicing Fee received with respect to the related Prepayment Period; 
  
 (ix) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.10 in connection with the deductible clause in any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit shall be made from the Servicer’s own funds, without
reimbursement therefor; and 
  
 (x) any amounts required to be
deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.01, 4.13 or 6.02. 
  
 The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges
and assumption fees, to the extent permitted by Section 6.01, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Custodial Account by the depository institution shall accrue to the benefit of
the Servicer and the Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.05 (iv). The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the
Custodial Account. 
  
 Section 4.05 Permitted Withdrawals From
the Custodial Account. 
  
 The Servicer may, from time to
time, withdraw from the Custodial Account for the following purposes: 
  
 (i) to make payments to the Purchaser in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 5.01; 
  

 45 

 (ii) to reimburse itself for Monthly Advances, the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to
this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of principal and/or interest respecting which any such advance was made, it being understood
that, in the case of such reimbursement, the Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except that, where the Servicer is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.03, the Servicer’s right
to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to such Section and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Mortgage Loan; 
  
 (iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid
Servicing Fees(or REO administration fees described in Section 4.13), the Servicer’s right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related proceeds from Liquidation Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Fannie Mae Guides or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; any recovery shall be made upon liquidation of the REO Property; 
  
 (iv) to pay to itself as part of its servicing compensation (a) any interest
earned on funds in the Custodial Account (all such interest to be withdrawn monthly not later than each Remittance Date), (b) the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to interest with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan;

  
 (v) to pay to itself with respect to each Mortgage Loan that
has been repurchased pursuant to Section 3.03 all amounts received thereon and not distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase price is determined, 
  
 (vi) to transfer funds to another Eligible Account in accordance with Section 4.09 hereof; 
  
 (vii) to remove funds inadvertently placed in the Custodial Account by the
Servicer; 
  
 (vi) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account
upon the termination of this Agreement; and 
  
 (vii) to reimburse
itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances. 
  
 Section 4.06
Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts. 
  
 The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or
more Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account 
  

 46 

 shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner to provide
maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC, or must be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account
shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser. 
  
 The Servicer shall deposit in a mortgage clearing account on a daily basis,
and in the Escrow Account or Accounts no later than 48 hours after receipt of funds, and retain therein: 
  
 (i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the
terms of this Agreement; 
  
 (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are
to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and 
  
 (iii) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements. 
  
 The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes
as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution to the extent permitted by law and, to the extent required
by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable law. The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Escrow Account. 
  
 Section 4.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account. 
  
 Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by Servicer only:

  
 (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, fire and hazard insurance premiums, condominium assessments and comparable items; 
  
 (ii) to reimburse Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from
amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder; 
  
 (iii) to refund to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages; 
  
 (iv) for transfer to the Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; 
  

 47 

 (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property; 
  
 (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by
law, any interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account; 
  
 (vii) to clear and terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow Account, to the extent required by law, and to the
extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any reimbursement therefor; and 
  

(viii) to pay to the Mortgagors or other parties Insurance Proceeds deposited in accordance with Section 4.06. 
  
 Section 4.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder. 
  
 With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the
status of primary mortgage insurance premiums and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable
penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in amounts
sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage or applicable law. To the extent that the Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the
time they first become due. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the
making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments. 
  
 The Servicer will maintain in full force and effect Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies issued by a
Qualified Insurer with respect to each Mortgage Loan for which such coverage is herein required. Such coverage will be terminated only with the approval of Purchaser, or as required by applicable law or regulation. The Servicer will not cancel or
refuse to renew any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or
Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or nonrenewed policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into
pursuant to Section 
  

 48 

 6.01, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage
under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability,
the Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above. 
  
 In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser, claims to the insurer
under any Private Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary to
permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to Section 4.04, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. 
  
 Section 4.09 Transfer of Accounts. 
  
 The Servicer may transfer the Custodial Account or the Escrow Account to a different Eligible Account from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only
upon obtaining the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 Section 4.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. 
  
 The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC
and customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each
Mortgage Loan shall be covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in effect with an insurance carrier acceptable to Fannie Mae or FHLMC, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines in accordance with applicable law and pursuant to the Fannie Mae Guides that a Mortgaged Property is located in a special
flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain
such flood insurance coverage, and 
  

 49 

 if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such
notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf. The Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at
least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property, and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above.
Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.05. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of the Mortgagor or
maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Fannie Mae Guides or such applicable state or federal laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation,
reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers. 
  
 Section 4.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. 
  
 In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or
FHLMC insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to Section 4.10 and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section
4.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 4.10, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall
not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with Section 4.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Purchaser, claims under any such blanket policy in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon request of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certified true copy of such policy and shall use its best efforts to obtain a statement from the
insurer thereunder that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser. 
  

 50 

 Section 4.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance. 
  
 The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and
an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loan to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the
Mortgage Loan. The Fidelity Bond shall be in the form of the Mortgage Banker’s Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement and fraud of such persons. The errors and omissions
insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses arising out of errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such errors and omissions insurance shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with
the failure to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 4.12
requiring the Fidelity Bond or errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall be at least
equal to the corresponding amounts required by Fannie Mae in the Fannie Mae Guides. Upon request by the Purchaser, the Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate from the surety and the insurer as to the existence of the Fidelity Bond and
errors and omissions insurance policy and shall obtain a statement from the surety and the insurer that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
to the Purchaser. The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt of notice that such Fidelity Bond or insurance policy will be, or has been, materially modified or terminated. The Purchaser (or any party having the
status of Purchaser hereunder) and any subsidiary thereof and their successors or assigns as their interests may appear must be named as loss payees on the Fidelity Bond and as additional insured on the errors and omissions policy. Upon request by
Purchaser, Servicer shall provide Purchaser with an insurance certificate certifying coverage under this Section 4.12, and will provide an update to such certificate upon request, or upon renewal or material modification of coverage. 
  
 Section 4.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.

  
 In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired
in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Purchaser or its designee, or in the event the Purchaser or its designee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real
property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or
Persons as shall be consistent with an opinion of counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Purchaser shall
acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser. 
  
 The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides of each acquisition of REO Property upon such acquisition (and, in any
event, shall provide notice of the 
  

 51 

 consummation of any foreclosure sale within three (3) Business Days of the date Servicer receives notice of such
consummation), together with a copy of the drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion of the Mortgaged Property obtained in connection with such acquisition, and thereafter assume the responsibility for marketing such REO property in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices. Thereafter, the Servicer shall continue to provide certain administrative services to the Purchaser relating to such REO Property as set forth in this Section 4.13. No Servicing Fee shall be assessed or otherwise
accrue on any REO Property from and after the date on which it becomes an REO Property. 
  
 The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property in the same manner that it manages,
conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall cause each REO Property to be inspected promptly
upon the acquisition of title thereto and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least monthly thereafter or more frequently as required by the circumstances. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written report of each such
inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the Purchaser. 
  
 The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon as possible and shall sell such REO Property in any event within one year
after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless the Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Purchaser to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a longer period
than one (1) year is permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO Property, the Servicer shall report monthly to the Purchaser as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property. No REO Property shall be marketed
for less than the Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. No REO Property shall be sold for less than ninety five percent (95%) of its Appraised Value, without the prior consent of Purchaser. All requests for reimbursement of
Servicing Advances shall be in accordance with the Fannie Mae Guides. The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the
Purchaser (subject to the above conditions) only with the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Servicer shall provide monthly reports to Purchaser in reference to the status of the marketing of the REO Properties. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser may,
at the Purchaser’s sole option, terminate the Servicer as servicer of any such REO Property without payment of any termination fee with respect thereto, provided that the Servicer shall on the date said termination takes effect be reimbursed
for any unreimbursed advances of the Servicer ‘s funds made pursuant to Section 5.03 and any unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees in each case relating to the Mortgage Loan underlying such REO Property notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in Section 4.05. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof shall apply to said termination and the transfer of servicing responsibilities with respect to such REO Property to the Purchaser or
its designee. Within five (5) Business Days of any such termination, the Servicer shall, 
  

 52 

 if necessary convey such property to the Purchaser and shall further provide the Purchaser with the following information
regarding the subject REO Property: the related drive by appraisal or brokers price opinion, and copies of any related Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy claims. In addition, within five (5) Business Days, the Servicer shall provide the Purchaser
with the following information regarding the subject REO Property: the related trustee’s deed upon sale and copies of any related hazard insurance claims, or repair bids. 
  
 Section 4.14 Notification of Maturity Date. 
  
 With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall execute and deliver to the Mortgagor any and all necessary notices
required under applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the maturity date if required under applicable law. 
  
 Section 4.15 Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans. 
  
 With respect to any Mortgage Loan which as of the first day of a calendar quarter is delinquent in payment by 90 days or
more or is an REO Property, the Servicer shall have the right to purchase such Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3.21 of that certain Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July [29], 2004, among Structured
Asset Mortgage Investments II Inc., Homebanc Mortgage Trust 2004-1 as issuer, U.S. Bank National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the Purchaser; provided however (i) that such Mortgage Loan is still 90 days or more delinquent
or is an REO Property as of the date of such purchase and (ii) this purchase option, if not theretofore exercised, shall terminate on the date prior to the last day of the related calendar quarter. This purchase option, if not exercised, shall not
be thereafter reinstated unless the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes 90 days or more delinquent or becomes an REO Property, in which case the option shall again become exercisable as of the first day of the related
calendar quarter.

 Section 5.01 Distributions. 
  
 On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall distribute by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the Purchaser (i) all amounts credited to the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the preceding Determination Date, net of charges against or withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
4.05, plus (ii) all Monthly Advances, if any, which the Servicer is obligated to distribute pursuant to Section 5.03, plus, (iii) interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate on any Principal Prepayment from the date of such Principal Prepayment
through the end of the month for which disbursement is made provided that the Servicer’s obligation as to payment of such interest shall be limited to the Servicing Fee earned during the month of the distribution, minus (iv) any amounts
attributable to Monthly Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Dates subsequent to the 
  

 53 

 preceding Determination Date, which amounts shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Period for
such amounts. It is understood that, by operation of Section 4.04, the remittance on the first Remittance Date with respect to Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to the related Term Sheet is to include principal collected after the Cut-off Date
through the preceding Determination Date plus interest, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate collected through such Determination Date exclusive of any portion thereof allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, with the adjustments
specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. 
  
 With respect
to any remittance received by the Purchaser after the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change plus two (2)
percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall cover the period commencing with the day following the Business Day such payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which
such payment is made to the Purchaser, both inclusive. The payment by the Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the Servicer. On each Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall provide a remittance report detailing all amounts being remitted pursuant to this Section 5.01. 
  
 Section 5.02 Statements to the Purchaser. 
  
 The Servicer shall furnish to Purchaser an individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, in the Servicer’s assigned
loan number order to document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis. With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report shall be received by the Purchaser no later than the tenth calendar
day of the following month on a disk or tape or other computer-readable format in such format as may be mutually agreed upon by both Purchaser and Servicer, and no later than the fifth Business Day of the following month in hard copy, and shall
contain the following: 
  
 (i) With respect to each Monthly
Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any prepayment penalties or premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on
principal prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 4.04); 
  
 (ii) with respect to each Monthly Payment, the amount of such remittance allocable to interest; 
  
 (iii) the amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicer during the prior distribution period;

 (v) the aggregate of any expenses reimbursed to the Servicer

 The Servicer shall also provide a trial balance, sorted in Purchaser’s assigned loan number order, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, with each such
Report. 
  
 The Servicer shall prepare and file any and all
information statements or other filings required to be delivered to any governmental taxing authority or to Purchaser pursuant to any applicable law with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, the
Servicer shall provide Purchaser with such information concerning the Mortgage Loans as is necessary for Purchaser to prepare its federal income tax return as Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time. 
  
 In addition, not more than sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar
year, the Servicer shall furnish to each Person who was a Purchaser at any time during such calendar year an annual statement in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal income tax law as to the aggregate of remittances for the
applicable portion of such year.

 Section 5.03 Monthly Advances by the Servicer. 
  
 Not later than the close of business on the Business Day preceding each
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by the Servicer, whether or not deferred pursuant to Section 4.01, of principal (due after the Cut-off Date) and interest
not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, adjusted to the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate, which were due on a Mortgage Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the Servicer
may use the Amount Held for Future Distribution (as defined below) then on deposit in the Custodial Account to make such Monthly Advances. The Servicer shall deposit any portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution used to pay Monthly Advances
into the Custodial Account on any future Remittance Date to the extent that the funds that are available in the Custodial Account for remittance to the Purchaser on such Remittance Date are less than the amount of payments required to be made to the
Purchaser on such Remittance Date. 
  
 The “Amount Held for
Future Distribution” as to any Remittance Date shall be the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the close of business on the preceding Determination Date which were received after the Cut-off Date on account of (i) Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and Principal Prepayments received or made in the month of such Remittance Date, and (ii) payments which represent early receipt of scheduled payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent to the
related Due Date. 
  
 The Servicer’s obligation to make such
Monthly Advances as to any Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Monthly Payment due prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, or through the Remittance Date prior to the date on which the Mortgaged Property liquidates (including
Insurance Proceeds, proceeds from the sale of REO Property or Condemnation Proceeds) with respect to the Mortgage Loan unless the Servicer deems such advance to be nonrecoverable. In such event, the Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser an
Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that an officer of the Servicer has reviewed the related Mortgage File and has made the reasonable determination that any additional advances are nonrecoverable. 
  
 Section 5.04 Liquidation Reports. 
  
 Upon the foreclosure sale of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition
thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Servicer shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to such Mortgaged Property in a form mutually acceptable to Servicer and Purchaser. The Servicer shall
also provide reports on the status of REO Property containing such information as Purchaser may reasonably require.

 ARTICLE VI 
  
 GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES 
  
 Section 6.01 Assumption Agreements. 
  
 The Servicer will, to the extent it has actual knowledge of any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (whether
by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any
“due-on-sale” clause to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law or the terms of the Mortgage Note from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would
impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, the Servicer will enter into an assumption agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note
and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Where an assumption is allowed pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Servicer, with the prior consent of the Purchaser and the primary mortgage insurer, if any,
is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed pursuant to which the original mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is
substituted as mortgagor and becomes liable under the related Mortgage Note. Any such substitution of liability agreement shall be in lieu of an assumption agreement. 
  
 In connection with any such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall follow the underwriting practices
and procedures of the Servicer. With respect to an assumption or substitution of liability, the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the amount of the Monthly Payment and the maturity date may not be changed (except pursuant to
the terms of the Mortgage Note). If the credit of the proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Servicer diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable law, accelerate the
maturity of the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall notify the Purchaser that any such substitution of liability or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Purchaser the original of any such substitution of liability or assumption
agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. All fees collected
by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall belong to the Servicer. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of
this Section 6.01, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement. 
  

 57 

 Section 6.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Mortgage Files. 
  
 Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Purchaser by a certification, which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 4.04 have been or will be so deposited, of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such certification and request, release or cause to be released to the Servicer, the related Mortgage Loan Documents and,
upon its receipt of such documents, the Servicer shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Purchaser the requisite satisfaction or release. No later than five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such satisfaction or release, the Purchaser
shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Servicer the release or satisfaction properly executed by the owner of record of the applicable mortgage or its duly appointed attorney in fact. No expense incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account. 
  
 In the event the Servicer satisfies or releases a Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have under
the mortgage instruments, the Servicer, upon written demand, shall remit within two (2) Business Days to the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan by deposit thereof in the Custodial Account. The Servicer
shall maintain the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance insuring the Servicer against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. 
  
 From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of the
Mortgage Loan, including for the purpose of collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or Lender Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Purchaser of a servicing receipt
signed by a Servicing Officer, release the portion of the Mortgage File held by the Purchaser to the Servicer. Such servicing receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the related Mortgage documents to the Purchaser when the need therefor by the
Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has
delivered to the Purchaser a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be released by the Purchaser to the Servicer. 
  

 58 

 Section 6.03 Servicing Compensation. 
  
 As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled
to withdraw from the Custodial Account (to the extent of interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans) or to retain from interest payments collected on the Mortgage Loans, the amounts provided for as the Servicer’s Servicing Fee, subject
to payment of compensating interest on Principal Prepayments as capped by the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 5.01 (iii). Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, as provided in Section 6.01, and late payment charges or
otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account. No Servicing Fee shall be payable in connection with partial Monthly Payments. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided for. 
  
 Section 6.04 Annual Statement as to Compliance. 
  
 The Servicer will deliver to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer not later February 28 of each year beginning in February 2005, an Officers’
Certificate in a form acceptable for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Form 10-K stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such
year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to
the Purchaser upon request. 
  
 Section 6.05 Annual Independent
Certified Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. 
  
 On
or before February 28 of each year beginning February 28, 2005 the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the
Purchaser in a form acceptable for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Form 10-K to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the Servicer’s servicing of mortgage loans of
the same type as the Mortgage Loans pursuant to servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement, which agreements may include this Agreement, and that, on the basis of such an examination, conducted substantially in the uniform single
audit program for mortgage bankers, such firm is of the opinion that the Servicer’s servicing has been conducted in compliance with the agreements examined pursuant to this Section 6.05, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe
to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Servicer to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer. In addition, on an annual basis, Servicer shall provided
Purchaser with copies of its audited financial statements. 
  

 59 

 Section 6.06 Purchaser’s Right to Examine Company and Servicer Records. 
  
 The Purchaser shall have the right to examine and audit at its expense upon
reasonable notice to the Company and/or the Servicer, during business hours or at such other times as might be reasonable under applicable circumstances, any and all of the books, records, documentation or other information of the Company and/or the
Servicer, or held by another for the Company and the Servicer or on its behalf or otherwise, which relates to the performance or observance by the Company and/or the Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. 
  
 The Company and/or the Servicer shall provide to the Purchaser and any
supervisory agents or examiners representing a state or federal governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Purchaser, including but not limited to OTS, FDIC and other similar entities, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
in the possession of the Company and/or the Servicer which may be required by any applicable regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours and at the offices of the Company and/or
the Servicer, and in accordance with the federal government, FDIC, OTS, or any other similar regulations. 
  
 Section 6.07 Annual Certification. 
  
 (a) For so long as the Mortgage Loans are being master serviced by the Master Servicer, by February 28th of each year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding
Business Day), or at any other time upon thirty (30) days written request, an officer of the Servicer shall execute and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Purchaser and the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Master
Servicer and their officers, directors and affiliates, certifying as to the following matters: 
  

	 	(i)	Based on my knowledge, the information in the Annual Statement of Compliance, the Annual Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report and all servicing reports,
officer’s certificates and other information relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans submitted to the Master Servicer taken as a whole, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading as of the date of this certification; 

  

	 	(ii)	The servicing information required to be provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicer under this Agreement has been provided to the Master Servicer; 

  

	 	(iii)	I am responsible for reviewing the activities performed by the Servicer under the Agreement and based upon the review required by this Agreement, and except as disclosed in the
Annual Statement of Compliance or the Annual 

  

 60 

 Independent Public Accountant’s Servicing Report submitted to the Master Servicer, the Servicer
has, as of the date of this certification fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement; and 
  

	 	(iv)	I have disclosed to the Master Servicer all significant deficiencies relating to the Servicer’s compliance with the minimum servicing standards in accordance with a review
conducted in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or similar standard as set forth in the Agreement. 

  
 (b) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and Master Servicer and their officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by the Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its obligations
under this Section 6.07 or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Purchaser or Master Servicer, then the
Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Purchaser or Master Servicer as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Purchaser or Master Servicer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the Purchaser or Master Servicer on the one hand and the Servicer on the other in connection with a breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 6.07 or the Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith.

 Each of the Company and the Servicer agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Company or the Servicer to observe and perform its duties, obligations, covenants,

any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, whether or not such claim is settled prior to judgment, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or the

Purchaser for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment made in good faith; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or the
Servicer or any such person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in compliance with any standard of care set forth in this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be imposed
by reason of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company, the Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document
of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by the Purchaser respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Company or the Servicer may, with the consent of
the Purchaser, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities for which the Purchaser will be liable, and the Company or the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Purchaser upon written demand. 
  
 Section 8.04 Servicer Not to Assign or Resign. 
  
 The Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Servicer and the Purchaser or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Servicer. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Purchaser which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser. No such
resignation shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided in Section 11.01.

 Section 8.05 No Transfer of Servicing. 
  
 With respect to the retention of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans
hereunder, the Servicer acknowledges that the Purchaser has acted in reliance upon the Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plan, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial
standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section, the Servicer shall not either assign this Agreement or the servicing hereunder or delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or
sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, other than in the normal course of business, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the
Servicer may assign the Agreement and the servicing hereunder without the consent of Purchaser to an affiliate of the Servicer to which all servicing of the Servicer is assigned so long as (i) such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved
servicer and (ii) if it is intended that such affiliate be spun off to the shareholders of the Servicer, such affiliate have a GAAP net worth of at least $25,000,000 and (iii) such affiliate shall deliver to the Purchaser a certification pursuant to
which such affiliate shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall certify that such affiliate is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved servicer in good standing.. 
  
 Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 8.05, in the event
that either the Company or the Servicer shall assign this Agreement or the servicing responsibilities hereunder or delegate its duties hereunder or any portion thereof without (i) satisfying the requirements set forth herein or (ii) the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without any payment of any penalty or damages and without any liability whatsoever to the Company or the Servicer (other than with respect to
accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and Servicing Advances remaining unpaid) or any third party.

 (viii) the Servicer ceases to be (a) licensed to service first lien residential mortgage loans in any

 (ix) the Company or the Servicer fails to meet the eligibility criteria set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.02; 
  
 (x) failure by the Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its obligations under Section 6.04, 6.05 or 6.07, which failure continues

Purchaser may, in addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have under Sections 3.03 and 8.01 and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same. On or after the receipt by the Company and the Servicer of such written notice (or, in the case of an Event of Default
under clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above, in which case, automatically and without notice), all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the

Servicer’s sole expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such
successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property.

 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 Section 11.01 Successor to the Servicer. 
  
 Prior to termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities and duties
under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4.13, 8.04, 9.01, 10.01 (ii) or (iii), the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a
successor having the characteristics set forth in Section 8.02 hereof and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the termination of the
Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as
the Purchaser and such successor shall agree. In the event that the Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned Sections, the Servicer shall discharge such duties
and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no
action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed
pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Company and/or the Servicer of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 and the remedies available to the Purchaser thereunder and under Section 8.01,
it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 and 8.01 shall be applicable to the Company and/or the Servicer notwithstanding any such resignation or termination of the Servicer, or the termination of this
Agreement. 
  

 68 

 Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the
Servicer and to the Purchaser an instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or resignation of the Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13, 8.04, 9.01 or 10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against the Company and/or the
Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation. 
  
 The Servicer shall promptly deliver to the successor the funds in the Custodial Account and the Escrow Account and the Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds.
The Servicer shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer. Within ten (10) Business Days of the execution and delivery of such instruments, the successor shall reimburse the Servicer for unrecovered Servicing Advances which the successor retains hereunder and which would
otherwise have been recovered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer. 
  
 Upon a successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Servicer shall notify by mail the Purchaser of such appointment. 
  
 Section 11.02 Amendment. 
  
 This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Company, the Servicer

Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a magnetic diskette, or transmit by modem, a listing on a loan-level basis of the information contained in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Term Sheet; 
  
 (b) all of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Servicer

 (c) the Purchaser shall have received, or the Purchaser’s attorneys
shall have received in escrow, all documents required pursuant to this Agreement, the related Term Sheet, an opinion of counsel and an officer’s certificate, all in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed by
all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the terms hereof;

 Section 11.18. Cooperation of Company and Servicer with a Reconstitution. 
  
 The Company, the Servicer and the Purchaser agree that with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans, on or after the
related Closing Date, on one or more dates (each a “Reconstitution 
  

 75 

 Date”) at the Purchaser’s sole option, the Purchaser may effect a sale (each, a “Reconstitution”) of
some or all of the Mortgage Loans then subject to this Agreement, without recourse, to: 
  
 (a) one or more third party purchasers in one or more in whole loan transfers (each, a “Whole Loan Transfer”); or 
  
 (b) one or more trusts or other entities to be formed as part of one or more pass-through transfers (each, a “Pass-Through Transfer”).

  
 The Company and the Servicer agree to execute in connection
with any agreements among the Purchaser, the Company, the Servicer and any servicer in connection with a Whole Loan Transfer, an Assignment, Assumption and Recognition Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, or, at Purchaser’s
request, a seller’s warranties and servicing agreement or a participation and servicing agreement or similar agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, and in connection with a Pass-Through Transfer, a pooling and
servicing agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the parties, (collectively the agreements referred to herein are designated, the “Reconstitution Agreements”). It is understood that any such Reconstitution Agreements will
not contain any greater obligations on the part of Company or the Servicer than are contained in this Agreement. 
  
 With respect to each Whole Loan Transfer and each Pass-Through Transfer entered into by the Purchaser, each of the Company and the Servicer agrees (1) to
cooperate fully with the Purchaser and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures; (2) to execute, deliver and perform all Reconstitution Agreements required by the Purchaser; (3) to restate the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement as of the settlement or closing date in connection with such Reconstitution (each, a “Reconstitution Date”). In that connection, the Company and the Servicer shall provide to such

information) which may be reasonably available to the Servicer, whether through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as the Purchaser or any such other participant shall request upon reasonable demand; and (ii) such additional
representations, warranties, covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of the Company and the Servicer as are reasonably agreed upon by the Company, the Servicer and the Purchaser or any
such other participant. In connection with each Pass-Through Transfer, the each of the Company and the Servicer agrees to provide reasonable and customary indemnification to the Purchaser and its affilates for disclosure contained in any offering
document relating to the Company, the Servicer or its affilates, the Mortgage Loans and the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs relating to the delivery of such information. All reasonable
and customary costs, fees and expenses incurred by Company and the Servicer pursuant to this provision shall be reimbursed to it and be deemed a condition precedent to its execution of any Reconstitution Agreement(s). 
  

 76 

 All Mortgage Loans not sold or transferred pursuant to a Reconstitution shall remain subject to, and
serviced in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement and the related Term Sheet, and with respect thereto this Agreement and the related Term Sheet shall remain in full force and effect.

 Representations; Warranties and Covenants 
  
 2. Assignor warrants and represents to Assignee, Company and Servicer as of
the date hereof: 
  
 a. Attached hereto as Attachment 2 is a true

material agreement or instrument to which Assignor is now a party or by which it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Assignor or its property is subject. The execution, delivery and
performance by Assignor of this AAR Agreement and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Assignor. This AAR Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by

 85 

 disposition of the Assigned Loans, or any interest in the Assigned Loans, or otherwise approached or negotiated with
respect to the Assigned Loans, or any interest in the Assigned Loans, with any Person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a
distribution of the Assigned Loans under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1993 Act”) or which would render the disposition of the Assigned Loans a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto;
and 
  
 h. Assignor has received from Company and Servicer, and
has delivered to Assignee, all documents required to be delivered to Assignor by Company and Servicer prior to the date hereof pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Agreement with respect to the Assigned Loans.

 d. There is no action,
suit, proceeding, investigation or litigation pending or, to Assignee’s knowledge, threatened, which either in any instance or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to Assignee, would adversely affect Assignee’s execution or delivery

 87
