	 	(iii)	This Agreement, each Request for an Advance and all other documents and instruments executed by Borrower hereunder constitute or will constitute, the valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower and do not and will not conflict with, or constitute a breach of or default under, any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, any memorandum of understanding with any regulatory authority or any instrument or agreement
to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or any substantial portion of its assets is bound; and there has not occurred any Default or Event of Default hereunder. 

 

	 	(iv)	The balance sheet of the Borrower and the statement of operations and sources and application of funds of the Borrower heretofore furnished to Lender, are the most
recently available quarterly balance sheet, statement of operations and sources and application of funds of the Borrower and fairly present the financial condition, results of operations and sources and application of funds of the Borrower as of the
date specified therein and for the period (specified therein) then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles or other commercially reasonable methods consistently applied, and subsequent to the date of said financial
statements there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition or the business or operations of the Borrower. 

  
 7 

	 	(v)	The proceeds of each Advance will be used exclusively to provide financing to originate or carry Mortgage Loans. 

 

	 	(vi)	Borrower is approved and in good standing with the Agencies or any other applicable governing agency from whom Borrower has, or contemplates obtaining, a Take-out with
full right to take such actions and discharge such responsibilities as are conferred by such status, and in particular to originate the Mortgage Loans and deliver them to the Investor. 

(b) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date with respect to any Advance, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to
Lender: 
  

	 	(i)	The information pertaining to such Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is true, correct and complete to the best of Borrower’s knowledge.

  

	 	(ii)	The Borrower has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan and there has been no delinquency in any payment by the mortgagor thereunder. 

 

	 	(iii)	There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments or other outstanding charges affecting the Mortgaged Property.

  

	 	(iv)	The terms of the Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect. No mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part.

  

	 	(v)	The Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. 

 

	 	(vi)	 All improvements constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to the applicable Agency and generally acceptable
to prudent mortgage lending institutions against loss by fire and 

  
 8 

	 	 
such other risks as may be included in the broad form of extended insurance coverage, as may be available from time to time, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area then identified in the Federal Register by
the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance is then available), there is in effect a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration with a financially responsible insurance carrier acceptable to the applicable Agency, in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
as amended. All such individual insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a “standard” or “New York” mortgagee clause naming the Borrower, its successors and assigns as mortgagee, provide
for at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower of any cancellation thereof, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the mortgagor’s
cost and expense, and upon the mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the mortgagor.

  

	 	(vii)	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. 

  

	 	(viii)	The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated 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 satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release. 

  

	 	(ix)	Unless otherwise notified to Lender by the Borrower and agreed to by Lender in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the mortgagor has fee simple estate in and to the Mortgaged
Property and the Mortgaged Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or an individual residential condominium unit, all of which constitutes real property under the laws of the
State in which the Mortgaged Property is located and Borrower is qualified to do business. 

  

	 	(x)	 The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, all buildings

  
 9 

	 	 
constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or affixed to such buildings, and all
additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing). Such lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording which are (i) acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan insured by the FHA or guaranteed by
the VA, USDA or RHS, to the FHA, VA, USDA or RHS, (ii) specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to Borrower and (iii) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for Borrower or which do
not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be provided by the Mortgage, the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, USDA or RHS, prevent realization of the benefits provided by
any FHA insurance or VA, USDA or RHS guaranty. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and
first priority security interest on the property described therein. 

  

	 	(xi)	The Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. 

 

	 	(xii)	All parties to any agreement affecting the Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, had legal capacity to enter into such agreement and to execute and deliver such
agreement and each such agreement has been duly and properly authorized, executed and delivered by such parties. 

  

	 	(xiii)	The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no obligation or requirement for future advances thereunder by the holder of the Mortgage Loan,
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. 

 

	 	(xiv)	 Except as otherwise described in writing to Lender, the Note and the Mortgage have not been assigned or pledged by the Borrower except to Lender as
provided herein. The Borrower or its agent, and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan originated by one of Borrower’s correspondents, 

  
 10 

	 	 
Borrower’s correspondent and its agent, or the title company handling the closing of the Mortgage Loan, has had continuous sole and complete possession of all the documents in the Mortgage
File prior to the Closing Date. At the time of the pledge of the Mortgage Loan to Lender, the Borrower had good and marketable title thereto. 

  

	 	(xv)	In the case of a conventional Mortgage Loan, (a) the Loan-to-Value Ratio either (i) is not more than 80% or (ii) is not more than 95% and the excess over
80% is and will be insured by a policy of primary mortgage guaranty insurance issued by a mortgage guaranty insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC until the Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced below 80% or otherwise meets guidelines for an applicable FNMA
or FHLMC product (i.e., DU Refi Plus), (b) the mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium and (c) all provisions of any primary mortgage guaranty insurance
policy have been and are being complied with and such policy is in full force and effect and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage Loan subject to any such policy of primary mortgage guaranty insurance obligates the mortgagor
thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. 

  

	 	(xvi)	Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association form of lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of title insurance
policy acceptable to the applicable Agency (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, USDA or RHS, the FHA, VA, USDA or RHS, as the case may be), issued by a title insurer acceptable to the applicable Agency and
qualified to do business in the state of the Mortgaged Property, insuring the Borrower, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Borrower is the sole insured
under such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy and no holder of the Mortgage Loan, including the
Borrower, has done or omitted to do anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy. 

  

	 	(xvii)	If the Mortgage Loan is insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, it shall be either (i) guaranteed by the VA to the maximum extent permitted by law for a
veteran who has not used any part of his entitlement and the uninsured portion thereof upon origination was not more than 75% or the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) fully insured by the FHA and all necessary steps have
been taken to make and keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable, and such guaranty or insurance is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the VA or the FHA, as the case may be, to the full extent thereof, without
surcharge, set-off or defense. 

  
 11 

	 	(xviii)	There is no default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration existing under the Note or Mortgage and no event which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and neither the Borrower nor any person having or having had an interest therein has waived any such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

  

	 	(xix)	There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that could give rise to any
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal to coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage and the Mortgage requires the mortgagor promptly to cause any such liens, as well as liens which
are junior to the lien of the Mortgage, to be removed. 

  

	 	(xx)	All improvements which were considered in determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundary and building restriction
lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property in any respect so as to affect the marketability of the Mortgaged Property. 

 

	 	(xxi)	The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Borrower. 

  

	 	(xxii)	The Note is payable monthly in self-amortizing installments of principal and interest, with interest payable in arrears, providing for full amortization by maturity or
a balloon payment, over an original term in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Agency. The original principal amount of the Note was not more than the amount prescribed by Lender. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder. 

 

	 	(xxiii)	The Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, for the total or
partial condemnation or taking by eminent domain thereof. 

  

	 	(xxiv)	The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the
Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby. 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 under a power of
sale, or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. 

  
 12 

	 	(xxv)	The Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage Loan contains all of the documents required by, and such documents are in the form required by all applicable underwriting
guidelines. 

  

	 	(xxvi)	The Mortgage File relating to the Mortgage Loan contains all of the documents required by, and a clear to close letter has been issued by the Investor’s
underwriter. 

  

	 	(xxvii)	To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. 

 

	 	(xxviii)	The Note is not, and has not been, secured by any collateral except the lien of the related Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to in clause (x) above and the mortgage was not given as collateral or security for the performance of obligations of any person other than the mortgagor. 

 

	 	(xxix)	At the time of origination by the Borrower, or at the time of the acquisition of the Mortgage Loan by the Borrower from any correspondent, the Mortgage Loan met the
requirements for investment by the Borrower. 

  

	 	(xxx)	Neither the Borrower nor the mortgagor has made any statement or taken any other action that would impair or invalidate the coverage provided by any primary mortgage
guaranty insurance, FHA insurance or VA, USDA or RHS guaranty or any hazard, title or other insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property. 

 

	 	(xxxi)	The Borrower has no knowledge of any circumstance or condition with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the mortgagor or the mortgagor’s credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage
Loan. 

  

	 	(xxxii)	 The Mortgage Loan has been duly and validly pledged by the Borrower under this Agreement, and this Agreement, together with such pledge and delivery,
creates as security for the Advances, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, a valid and perfected first priority security interest in respect of each Advance hereunder in favor of Lender in such Mortgage Loan and all proceeds, products and

For value received, STONEGATE MORTGAGE CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation having its principal office at 10412
Allisonville Road, Suite 208, Fishers, Indiana 46038 (hereinafter referred to as “Maker”), unconditionally promises to pay to the order of MERCHANTS BANK OF INDIANA having its principal banking office at 3737 E. 96th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240 (hereinafter referred to as
“Lender”), at Lender’s principal banking office or at such other place or to such other party as the holder hereof may from time to time designate, the principal sum of Two Million and no/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00), or so much
thereof as shall from time to time be advanced by Lender to or for the benefit of Maker hereunder, with interest on the principal balance from time to time remaining unpaid from the date hereof at a rate per annum (based upon a year of 360 days and
actual days elapsed) equal to the rate from time to time announced by the Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate”, plus one hundred (100) basis points with changes in the interest rate hereunder to take effect on the same day
as each change in such Prime Rate takes effect; provided, however, that in no event shall the interest rate be less than Four and 00/100 percent (4.00%). 
 TERMS, PROVISIONS AND CONDITIONS 
 1. Payments. Principal and interest
shall be payable as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	Commencing on the first day of the first calendar month following the calendar month in which the first advancement is made hereunder and continuing on the first day of
each succeeding calendar month thereafter, accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable; 

	 	(ii)	Each advance of principal under this Note advanced by Lender to finance Mortgage Loans [as defined in the Loan Agreement (hereinafter defined)], shall be repaid in full
by Maker at the first to occur of (i) the date on which the promissory note evidencing a specific Mortgage Loan is sold by Maker to a subsequent purchaser or paid by the maker thereof, or (ii) thirty (30) days after an advance of
principal under this Note is made to Maker by Lender; and 

  

	 	(iii)	On May 31, 2012, the entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable. 

2. Costs of Collection and Default Rate of Interest. In addition, Maker shall pay to the holder hereof (a) reasonable
attorneys’ fees incurred by the holder in the protection of any security for this Note or the collection of any indebtedness evidenced hereby, (b) costs of collection and (c) during any period in which a default exists hereunder
and/or any period of delinquency on any amounts not paid when due, interest at a rate per annum equal to two per cent (2%) above the rate otherwise in effect. 
 3. Late Charge. Maker shall pay a “late charge” for the purpose of defraying expense incident to handling upon any monthly installment of interest and/or principal, or portion thereof,
referred to above not paid within ten (10) days after the date when first due at the rate of five cents (5¢) for each dollar ($1.00) so overdue with a minimum charge of Twenty-Five and no/100 Dollars ($25.00) and an additional
“late charge” for purposes of defraying expense incident to handling on the first day of each successive calendar month thereafter at the rate of five cents (5¢) for each dollar ($1.00) so overdue with a minimum of Twenty-Five
and no/100 Dollars ($25.00) per month until any such installment, or portion thereof, has been paid in full. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver by the holder of this Note of its option to declare a default if any payment of any
installment of interest and/or principal, or portion thereof, is not made when due, and the assessment of a late charge shall not affect the right of the holder of this Note to increase the rate of interest as herein provided on all amounts not paid
when due. 

 4. Valuation and Appraisement Laws. All principal, interest and other amounts payable
under or with respect to this Note shall be payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws. 
 5. Application of
Payments. Each payment hereunder shall be applied to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest and to the reduction of the principal balance in such order and in such amounts as the holder of this Note shall determine, in its sole discretion.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year applied to the actual number of days in each interest-payment period. 
 6. Security. This Note is given to evidence indebtedness of Maker to Lender arising in connection with the terms, provisions and conditions of a certain Mortgage Warehouse Loan and Security
Agreement of even date herewith executed by and between Maker and Lender (such agreement as from time to time amended or modified is hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Agreement”). This Note shall be entitled to the benefits of and is
secured by the Loan Agreement. 
 7. Events of Default. All of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and remaining
unpaid shall, at the option of the holder and without demand or notice, become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of any of the following (each of which shall constitute an event of default hereunder): 

 

	 	(i)	a failure by Maker to make the payments required by this Note when due; 

  

	 	(ii)	a default under or a failure to comply with any of the terms, provisions, conditions, agreements or covenants of this Note which remains uncured for five (5) days
after written notice from Lender to Maker; provided that there shall be no cure period for monetary defaults; or 

  

	 	(iii)	a default under or a failure to comply with any of the terms, provisions, conditions, agreements or covenants of the Loan Agreement or any other agreement, instrument
or document executed by Maker or any guarantor to Lender in connection with the Loan Agreement and a failure to cure such default within the applicable cure period specified therein, if any. 

 8. Waiver and Consent. Presentment, notice of dishonor and demand, protest and
diligence in collection and bringing suit are hereby severally waived by Maker and each endorser or guarantor, each of whom consents that the time for the payment of this Note, or of any installment hereunder, may be extended from time to time
without notice by the holder. 
 9. No Waiver. No waiver of any default or failure or delay to exercise any right or
remedy by the holder of this Note shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default in the future or as a waiver of any right or remedy with respect to the same or any other occurrence. 

10. Prepayment. Maker may prepay all or any portion of the principal amount outstanding under this Note at any time and from time
to time without penalty. 
 11. Usury Laws. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with all
applicable usury laws. Accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall the holder be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest in excess of the amount which may be
charged from time to time under applicable law. In the event that the holder of this Note ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, then immediately upon becoming aware of such receipt, collection or application, the holder
shall notify Maker of the usurious overcharge and refund to Maker the amount of any overcharge taken, plus interest on the overcharge taken at the rate in effect under this Note or at the maximum lawful rate, whichever is less, at the time the
usurious interest rate was taken, and make whatever adjustments in this Note as are necessary to insure that Maker will not be required to pay any further interest in excess of the amount permitted under applicable law. Maker shall not institute any
action or file any defense based upon the charging or collecting of usurious interest hereunder unless (i) Maker shall give the holder written notice of an intent to do so and (ii) the holder shall fail to comply with the terms hereof, by
notification and refund to Maker and making necessary adjustments as aforesaid, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the holder of such written notice from Maker. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other
provision contained herein or in any other agreement between the parties hereto that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph. 

 12. Loan Fees. In addition to all of the terms and conditions to be performed by
Maker under this Note, Maker shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by it in connection with the loan evidenced by this Note. 

13. Waiver of Trial by Jury. Maker hereby agrees that any suit, action or proceeding, whether a claim or counterclaim, brought or
instituted by any party on or with respect to this Note or any other document executed in connection herewith or which in any way relates, directly or indirectly to the Loan Agreement or any event, transaction or occurrence arising out of or in any
way connected with this Note or the dealings of the parties with respect thereto, shall be tried only by a court and not by a jury. MAKER, AND Lender BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION
OR PROCEEDING. Maker acknowledges that Maker may have a right to a trial by jury in any such suit, action or proceeding and that Maker hereby is knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waiving any such right. Maker further acknowledges and agrees
that this Paragraph 13 is material to this Note and that adequate consideration has been given by Lender and received by Maker in exchange for the waiver made by Maker pursuant to this paragraph. 

14. Notices. Any written notice permitted or required hereunder shall be effective when received, certified or registered United
States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, at the applicable address specified below:

portion thereof) of this Note or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Note or the application of such provision (or portion thereof) to any other person or

 WHEREAS, Seller is in the business of originating qualifying, single-family mortgage loans, including conforming Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) loans, Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) loans, and loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (“VA”), or Rural Housing Service (“RHS”) (but specifically
excluding any and all construction loans, loans secured by manufactured homes, co-operatives, high-cost or Jumbo loans) (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Mortgage Loan” and collectively as the “Mortgage Loans”)
(“FNMA”, “FHLMC”, “FHA”, “VA”, and “RHS” are hereinafter from time to time referred to individually as an “Agency” or collectively as the “Agencies”); 

WHEREAS, Seller from time to time wishes to sell to Participant and Participant from time to time wishes to purchase an undivided
beneficial ownership interest in Mortgage Loans; 
 WHEREAS, Seller and Participant entered into that certain Master
Participation and Servicing Agreement dated April 30, 2009 and that certain Amended and Restated Master Participation and Servicing Agreement dated May 1, 2011 (as heretofore amended, collectively the “Prior Participation
Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, Seller and Participant hereby agree to renew the Prior Participation Agreement subject
to the terms and conditions hereinafter provided; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, Seller and Participant agree as follows: 
 1. OWNERSHIP INTEREST; PARTICIPATION CERTIFICATES.

 1.1 Acquisition by Participant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance on
representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, Participant establishes with Seller the terms on which Participant shall purchase an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Mortgage Loan when Participant so elects. The percentage of
Participant’s undivided interest in any Mortgage Loan shall be the percentage that is equal at any time to the percentage that the unpaid balance of the amount paid by Participant bears to the unpaid balance of the Mortgage Loan (the
“Ownership Interest”). Participant’s Ownership Interest for any Mortgage Loan may vary from time to time. Each date of Participant’s acquisition of an Ownership Interest is referred to as a “Funding Date”. The purchase
of an Ownership Interest in a Mortgage Loan shall be subject to (a) the review and approval by 

 
Participant of the Mortgage Loan Documents (hereinafter defined) and such other documents relating to the Mortgage Loan as Participant deems appropriate, (b) the delivery to Participant of
an original Participation Certificate, hereinafter defined, for Participant’s Ownership Interest, (c) Participant’s satisfaction with Seller’s ability to dispose of the Mortgage Loan through a sale or securitization of the
Mortgage Loan pursuant to one or more binding agreements with an independent third party or parties (the “Take-Out”) to an investor acceptable to Participant (the “Investor”), (d) Participant’s satisfaction with the
borrower’s creditworthiness, and (e) the Mortgage Loan having terms acceptable to Participant. The purchase price for the Ownership Interest in each Mortgage Loan shall be an amount equal to (a) the least of
(i) Participant’s Ownership Interest of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount advanced by Seller at the closing of the Mortgage Loan net of all amounts credited to Seller or (iii) the amount to be
paid by Investor in accordance with Section 2.2(gg), plus (b) the percentage of Participant’s Ownership Interest of the amount of interest accrued on the Mortgage Loan, less (c) the fee set forth on the schedule attached hereto
as Schedule I (the “Fee Schedule”). At no time shall Participant be required to purchase any Ownership Interest if such purchase would result in Participant being the holder of Ownership Interests having an aggregate unpaid balance in
excess of One Hundred Fifty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000,000.00). 
 1.2 Purchase and Sale Treatment. It is the
intention of the parties that each transaction described in this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale of the Ownership Interest and not a loan with pledge of security. 

1.3 Seller to Assign Mortgage Loan Documents. Subject to compliance with the requirements of the Investor, Seller shall transfer
and assign to Participant originals of all documents relating to each Mortgage Loan including without limitation, the related Note (defined hereinafter), Mortgage or Deed of Trust (the “Mortgage”), other security documents, UCC financing
statements, title and hazard insurance policies (the “Mortgage Loan Documents”). The title company handling the closing of any Mortgage Loan shall have duly executed a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Title Company Certification”). The transfer and assignment of the Note shall be by an assignment in blank executed by Seller pursuant to security procedures and in accordance with industry standards. At the election of Participant, the
Mortgage Loan Documents either shall be delivered directly to a custodian or delivered to Participant for later delivery to a custodian. 
 1.4 Examination of Mortgage File. Prior to the Funding Date, if requested to do so by the Participant, the Seller shall deliver to the Participant or its designee, for examination, copies of the
Mortgage Loan Documents to be executed by the mortgagor and the Seller pertaining to each Mortgage Loan. 
 1.5 Participation
Certificates.  
 (a) The Ownership Interest for each Mortgage Loan shall be evidenced by one or more certificates
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Participation Certificate”). 
 (b) A
Participation Certificate shall set forth for the Mortgage Loan (i) the name of the mortgagor; (ii) description and address of mortgaged property and any improvement thereon (“Mortgaged Property”); (iii) the outstanding
principal balance of the related promissory note (“Note”); (iv) the interest rate borne by such Note; and (v) such other data as Participant may from time to time request. 

 (c) Seller shall maintain at its office a certificate register (the “Certificate
Register”) showing all pertinent information with respect to each Participation Certificate. 
 (d) Seller shall provide a
copy of the Certificate Register to Participant upon request. 
 (e) Any Participation Certificate may be re- issued in the
event of a transfer by Participant. Prior to due presentation of a Participation Certificate for registration of transfer, Seller shall treat Participant as the owner of such Participation Certificate and the Ownership Interest relating thereto.

 (f) In the event of any mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Participation Certificate, Seller shall execute and deliver a
replacement Participation Certificate of like tenor and interest, upon Participant: (i) either surrendering any mutilated Participation Certificate to Seller, or (ii) providing evidence to Seller’s satisfaction of the loss,
destruction, or theft of any Participation Certificate, as applicable and delivering a representation regarding such loss, destruction or theft, together with such indemnity as may be required by Seller, Seller shall issue a replacement
Participation Certificate. Any replacement Participation Certificate issued as provided herein shall constitute, absent fraud, complete and indisputable evidence of ownership of the Ownership Interest as if originally issued, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Participation Certificate shall be subsequently found at any time. 
 2.
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. 
 2.1 General Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller.
Seller represents, warrants, and covenants to Participant that at the time of this Agreement and at the time of such purchase of a Participation Interest: 
 (a) Seller is duly organized, and is and shall continue to be existing, under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; 
 (b) Seller is, and to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall continue to be, duly authorized and qualified to transact business in the jurisdictions where the Mortgaged
Properties are located or not required to be so authorized; Seller possesses and shall continue to possess all requisite authority, power, licenses, permits, franchises, and approvals to conduct its business and to execute, deliver, and comply with
its obligations under this Agreement; 
 (c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Seller will not:
(i) violate the articles of incorporation or by-laws of Seller or any resolution or other instrument governing its operations or any laws which violation could have any material adverse effect upon the validity, performance, and enforceability
of any of the terms of this Agreement applicable to Seller, or (ii) constitute a default (or any event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under any contract, agreement, or other instrument to which Seller
is a party or which is applicable to any of its assets; 

 (d) This Agreement constitutes a valid, legal, and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable
in accordance with its terms and no consent, approval or authorization of any governmental authority is required for the execution, delivery or performance of, or compliance by Seller with, this Agreement or the consummation of any other transaction
contemplated hereby, except as has been duly obtained; and 
 (e) The Seller is, and throughout the term of this Agreement shall
remain, approved and in good standing with the Agencies, qualified under applicable Agency requirements to service Agency insured or guaranteed mortgage loans; the Seller shall not do anything or permit any action, directly or indirectly, which may
result in Seller’s loss of qualification as an Agency approved mortgagee or issuer in good standing or which may result in a negative designation from an Agency or an Investor, including without limitation, anything which could result in the
Seller being debarred or placed on a watch-list. 
 (f) The Seller shall provide Participant a weekly written analysis of the
status of the then existing Mortgage Loans and corresponding Take-outs and a weekly pipeline report. 
 2.2 Mortgage Loan
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller. Seller further represents, warrants, and covenants to Participant that with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of each Funding Date: 

(a) The information pertaining to such Mortgage Loan set forth in the Participation Certificate is true, correct and complete to the best
of Seller’s knowledge. 
 (b) The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of
funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan and there has been no delinquency in any payment by the mortgagor thereunder. 

(c) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments or other outstanding charges affecting the
Mortgaged Property. 
 (d) The terms of the Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect. No mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part. 
 (e) The Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Note or the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or
defense has been asserted with respect thereto. 
 (f) All improvements constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property are
insured by an insurer acceptable to the applicable Agency and generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions against loss by fire, and such other risks as may be included in the broad form of extended insurance coverage, as may be
available from time to time, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount not less than necessary to comply with the applicable coinsurance clause percentage but in no event

 
will the amount be less than eighty percent (80%) of the actual replacement cost (without depreciation) of the insurable improvements and equipment of such Mortgaged Property. If the
Mortgaged Property is in an area then identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance is then available), there is in effect a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a financially responsible insurance carrier acceptable to the applicable Agency, in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance
which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All such individual insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) shall contain a “standard” or “New York” mortgagee
clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee, provide for at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Seller of any cancellation thereof, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the
mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the
mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the mortgagor. 
 (g) 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.

 (h) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated 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 affect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission or release. 

(i) Unless otherwise agreed to by Participant, the mortgagor has fee simple estate in and to the Mortgaged Property and the Mortgaged
Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or an individual residential condominium unit, all of which constitute real property under the laws of the State in which the Mortgaged
Property is located and Seller is qualified to do business. 
 (j) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first
lien on the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, all buildings constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or affixed to such
buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing). Such lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording which are (i) acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and any applicable Agency, (ii) specifically referred
to in the Participant’s title insurance policy delivered to Seller and (iii) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for Seller or which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgage Property as set forth in
such appraisal and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the
related Mortgaged Property, or prevent realization of the benefits provided by any mortgage insurance or guaranty. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan
establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein. 

 (k) The Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

 (l) All parties to any agreement affecting the Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to the mortgagor, had legal capacity
to enter into such agreement and to execute and deliver such agreement and each such agreement has been duly and properly authorized, executed and delivered by such parties. 
 (m) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no obligation or requirement for future advances thereunder by the holder of the Mortgage Loan, 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. 
 (n) The Note and the Mortgage have not been assigned or pledged by the Seller except to Participant as provided herein. The Seller or its agent, or the title company handling the closing of the Mortgage
Loan, has had continuous sole and complete possession of all the Mortgage Loan Documents prior to the Funding Date. At the time of the sale of the Ownership Interest in the Mortgage Loan to Participant, the Seller had good and marketable title
thereto. Seller shall not sell a participation or other interest in the Mortgage Loan to any party other than Participant without Participant’s prior written consent. 
 (o) In the case of a conventional Mortgage Loan, (a) the Loan-to-Value Ratio either (i) is not more than 80% or (ii) is not more than 95% and the excess over 80% is and will be insured by a
policy of primary mortgage guaranty insurance issued by a mortgage guaranty insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC until the Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced below 80% or otherwise meets guidelines for an applicable FNMA or FHLMC product (e.g., DU Refi
Plus), (b) the mortgage interest rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Participation Certificate is net of any such insurance premium, and (c) all provisions of any primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy have been and are
being complied with and such policy is in full force and effect and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage Loan subject to any such policy of primary mortgage guaranty insurance obligates the mortgagor thereunder to maintain such
insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. 
 (p) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land
Title Association form of title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of title insurance policy acceptable to the applicable Agency and any applicable insurer or guarantor of the Mortgage Loan, issued by a title insurer acceptable to
the applicable Agency and qualified to do business in the state of the Mortgaged Property, insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The
Seller is the sole insured under such title insurance policy, and such title insurance policy is in full force and effect. No claims have been made under such title insurance policy and no holder of the Mortgage Loan, including the Seller, has done
or omitted to do anything which would impair the coverage of such title insurance policy. 

 (q) If the Mortgage Loan is insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA, or RHS, it shall be
guaranteed or insured for the maximum amount permitted and all necessary steps shall be taken to make and keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable, and such guaranty or insurance is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation
of the VA, RHS or the FHA, as the case may be, to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense. 
 (r) There
is no default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration existing under the Note or Mortgage and no event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration; and neither the Seller nor any person having or having had an interest therein has waived any such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. 
 (s) There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that could give rise to any such lien) affecting the related
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage and the Mortgage requires the mortgagor promptly to cause any such liens, as well as liens which are junior to the lien of the Mortgage, to be
removed. 
 (t) All improvements which were considered in determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property lie
wholly within the boundary and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property in any respect so as to affect the marketability of the Mortgaged Property.

 (u) The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller. 
 (v) The Note is payable monthly in self-amortizing installments of principal and interest, with interest payable in arrears, providing for full amortization by maturity or a balloon payment, over an
original term in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Agency. The original principal amount of the Note was not more than the amount prescribed by Participant. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder. 

(w) The Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Seller,
threatened, for the total or partial condemnation or taking by eminent domain thereof. 
 (x) The Mortgage contains customary
and enforceable provisions that are sufficient for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby. 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 under a power of sale, or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. 

(y) The Mortgage Loan Documents relating to the Mortgage Loan include all of the documents required by, and such documents are in the
form required by, all applicable underwriting guidelines of the Participant and applicable Agency. 
 (z) The Mortgage Loan
Documents relating to the Mortgage Loan satisfy all of the terms and conditions required by Investor or its underwriter. 

 (aa) The Note is not, and has not been, secured by any collateral except the lien of the
related Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above and the Mortgage was not given as collateral or security for the performance of obligations of any person other
than the mortgagor. 
 (bb) The Mortgage Loan meets the requirements of the Investor. 

(cc) Neither the Seller nor the mortgagor has made any statement or taken any other action that would impair or invalidate the coverage
provided by any private mortgage guaranty insurance, FHA insurance or VA, or RHS guaranty or any hazard, title or other insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property. 

(dd) The Seller has no knowledge of any circumstance or condition with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the
mortgagor or the mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or adversely affect
the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan. 
 (ee) Seller’s interest in the Mortgage Loan is hereby duly and validly
pledged by the Seller under this Agreement to provide evidence and notice of Participant’s Ownership Interest and to secure Seller’s obligations in the event of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller under this
Agreement, and this Agreement, together with such pledge and delivery, creates a valid and perfected first priority security interest in respect of Seller’s interest in the Mortgage Loan and all proceeds, products and profits derived therefrom,
and incidents thereto, including, without limitation, all accounts, general intangibles, instruments, moneys, goods, insurance proceeds and other tangible or intangible property received upon liquidation thereof and no further action is required to
create, preserve and perfect such security interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the intent that Purchaser’s Ownership Interest in a Mortgage Loan be isolated from any asset of Seller and not be a loan by Participant
to Seller. 
 (ff) There is no litigation pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened, which, if determined adversely
to the Seller, would adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement, assignment of Mortgage, the sale of a participation interest in any Mortgage Loan to Participant or the ability of the Seller to service the Mortgage
Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof or which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Seller. 
 (gg) Seller has entered into one or more binding agreements with an Investor that will result in the purchase or securitization of the Mortgage Loan for an amount equal to or greater than the balance of
the Mortgage Loan and interest thereon; Seller shall at all times be approved and in good standing with the Agencies with full right to take such actions and discharge such responsibilities as are conferred by such status, and in particular to
originate the Mortgage Loan and deliver it to the Investor, and the Mortgage Loan and all Mortgage Loan Documents shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Investor. 

(hh) Seller shall sell each Mortgage Loan or issue mortgage-backed securities for the Mortgage Loan to an Investor for an amount equal to
or greater than the unpaid balance of the Mortgage Loan and interest thereon within forty-five (45) days of the Funding Date for the Ownership Interest. 

 (ii) All necessary actions have been taken to qualify the Mortgage Loans for funding by the
Investor. The sale of the Ownership Interest in the Mortgage Loans, as evidenced by the Participation Certificate, shall at all times be permitted by applicable regulations of the Investor or by a waiver of such regulations. 

2.3 Participant in Reliance; Survival. Participant is purchasing the Ownership Interest in reliance upon the representations,
covenants and warranties of Seller, and Seller’s full and faithful compliance with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. The representations, warranties, and covenants of Seller set forth in this Section shall survive
this Agreement and shall be reaffirmed by Seller upon the execution of the Commitment Letter. 
 3. SERVICING.

 3.1 Servicing Standards. Seller shall take all actions necessary to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
customary mortgage banking practices of prudent lending institutions and such actions as a reasonably prudent lender would take in regard to loans held for its own account, all subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Sub-servicing of a Mortgage Loan by a third party shall not occur without Participant’s written consent. Seller may, with prior written approval of Participant, service the Mortgage Loan through a subservicer or retain an independent contractor
to perform certain servicing functions; provided, however, in the event any servicing is performed by such subservicer or any functions performed by such independent contractor, Seller shall remain liable for its servicing duties and obligations
under this Agreement and for the manner in which they are exercised by such subservicer or independent contractor. 
 3.2
Collections and Application of Mortgage Payments; Certification. Seller shall: 
 (a) Proceed diligently to collect all
payments due under the Mortgage Loan Documents as they come due and to assure the performance of all material terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents; 
 (b) Timely file a claim for and collect applicable Agency guaranty or insurance in the event of a default in a Mortgage Loan (in filing a claim, Seller shall not elect to receive debentures). 

(c) Hold and appropriately monitor and disburse all Mortgage Loan escrows; 

(d) Keep a complete and accurate account of all sums collected by Seller from the mortgagor and the application of sums; 

(e) Accept prepayments on the Note from the mortgagor only to the extent expressly permitted in the Note or Mortgage and then only if
such prepayments include any applicable prepayment penalty or other fee, and accept condemnation and hazard insurance proceeds in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents; 

 (f) Segregate all funds received pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and deposit such
funds in a trust or custodial account with an institution whose accounts are insured by an agency or instrumentality of the United States government which institution shall satisfy the requirements of the Investor for the deposit of similar funds by
approved seller-servicers, which depository requirements may be modified, only by request of the Seller, which requests must be approved by the Participant. Seller shall maintain such records and take all such actions as may be necessary to secure
and obtain the maximum insurance for such account. 
 (g) Seller shall remit to Participant its Ownership Interest percentage of
all payments of principal, prepayment premiums or penalties and interest on the Note, and all prepayments of principal made in accordance with the terms of the Note and Mortgage; Seller shall remit such amounts to Participant, in accordance with the
written instructions of Participant, on receipt by Seller. Seller shall be entitled to deduct any servicing fee payable to Seller under the terms of the applicable Participation Certificate for the Mortgage Loan provided that all amounts owed to
Participant for its Ownership Interest in the Mortgage Loan first shall have been paid in full. If requested, Seller shall provide Participant with a statement of payment of mortgage insurance premiums, and escrow account balances thereunder, and
any release from the reserve fund for replacements (and the purpose of such release) for each Mortgage Loan. Seller shall hold and appropriately monitor all mortgage escrows, including without limitation all operating deficit, on-site or off-site
escrows, and any other such escrows required by the applicable Agency with respect to each Mortgage Loan, in a manner to avoid negative escrow balances, and if requested by Participant, provide Participant with copies of all Agency approvals of
release of any escrowed funds. 
 (h) Provide Participant, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month (or the business day immediately following
the fifteenth (15th) day, if the fifteenth (15th) day is not a business day), with a statement setting forth, as
of the tenth (10th) day of such month, the
outstanding balance of the Notes after recordation of the current month’s financial activity, itemization of principal, interest and any other payments collected, any delinquency in payments, any advances made by Seller pursuant to
Section 3.7 hereof, and the remittance to Participant. 
 (i) Provide to Participant, on an annual basis, such additional
information regarding the Mortgage Loans as Participant shall reasonably request. 
 All funds received by Seller with respect
to the Mortgage Loans, other than amounts constituting servicing compensation, reimbursement for Seller advances, or escrowed funds belonging to the mortgagors, shall be held by Seller in trust for Participant to the extent of Participant’s
Ownership Interest as required by this Agreement. 
 3.3 Insurance; Condemnation. 

(a) Seller shall assure that the Mortgaged Property is kept insured against loss by fire and such other hazards, casualties, and
contingencies as required by the applicable Agency and as generally shall be required by reasonably prudent lenders in similar transactions. Such insurance shall be pursuant to a broad form all-risk policy and shall name Seller and Participant as
additional insureds pursuant to a standard mortgagee clause. The insurance carrier providing the insurance shall be chosen by the mortgagor subject to Seller’s approval; such carrier shall meet the minimum rating requirements of the Investor
for carriers of hazard insurance. 

 (b) Seller shall receive the proceeds of all such insurance, or any award for the
condemnation of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and to the extent required obtain the consent of the applicable Agency to the disposition thereof. Such proceeds shall be deposited with Participant. Seller will not make any agreement with
respect to the reconstruction or rehabilitation of the Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of Participant. During the term of this Agreement, Seller will retain custody of all insurance policies or renewals thereof which are
required to be provided by each mortgagor under its Mortgage Loan Documents and maintained by Seller under the requirements of the applicable Agency. To the extent that any such insurance proceeds or condemnation award shall be applied as a
prepayment on the Mortgage Loan it shall be held in trust by Seller for the benefit of Participant and remitted pursuant to Section 3.2(f) hereof. 
 (c) To the extent any insurance coverages described above are not maintained by the mortgagor, Seller shall advance funds to obtain such coverages and obtain reimbursement. 

3.4 Material Change to Mortgaged Property. Seller shall, if and as soon as such information comes to its attention, promptly
notify Participant of any material change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property, any sale or transfer by the mortgagor of the legal or equitable title to the Mortgaged Property or any abandonment of the Mortgaged Property, and shall take any
action in regard thereto as Participant shall direct, the costs of which shall be paid by Participant. 
 3.5 Fidelity Bond;
Errors and Omissions Insurance. Seller agrees to keep, at no cost to Participant, fidelity bond, errors and omissions and any other insurance required by the Agencies in amounts required by the Agencies and reasonably satisfactory to Participant
as to form, substance and company. Seller shall furnish a certificate evidencing such insurance coverage to Participant, upon request, and shall notify Participant if such fidelity bond coverage is decreased or exhausted. 

3.6 No Variation of Mortgage Loan Documents. Seller shall not be authorized or empowered to waive or vary any terms of any
Mortgage Loan Document or consent to any postponement, delay or other deviation from strict compliance by a mortgagor with any provision of any Mortgage Loan Document or consent to any secondary financing, except as specifically authorized in
writing by Participant. Seller shall promptly forward to Participant all requests for such waiver, variance or consent, and any related documentation received from a mortgagor. Participant shall use its best efforts to respond promptly to
Seller’s request. 
 3.7 Advances by Seller. To the extent payment of a Note has not been made by the mortgagor as
of the date when due, the Seller will advance from its own funds such payment; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to make more than one such advance for which it has not been reimbursed. 

3.8 Mortgage Loan Default. If the mortgagor shall fail to make any payment due pursuant to the respective Mortgage Loan or shall
fail to comply with any other covenant of any Mortgage Loan Document, which failure shall give rise to Seller’s right, as mortgagee, to accelerate the Mortgage Loan, Seller shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, so notify
Participant in writing. Seller shall consult with Participant as to the course of action to be taken and Seller shall proceed as directed by Participant. 

 In all cases, Seller shall take such action as is necessary to obtain the maximum benefit of
the applicable Agency insurance, guaranty or other credit enhancement benefits and in all events, Seller will act in accordance with any written instructions given by Participant with respect to such default or claim and shall make no settlement
without the express written consent of Participant. 
 3.9 Acquisition of Title to the Mortgaged
Property. Seller shall not elect to acquire the Mortgaged Property in the event of a default in a Mortgage Loan, but instead shall file a claim on the applicable Agency guaranty or insurance of the Mortgage Loan as herein provided. In the event
however, that title to the Mortgaged Property is to be acquired, title shall be taken in the name of the Participant or its designee, which may be Seller. Following acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property, Seller shall, either itself or
through an agent of its choosing, manage and operate the Mortgaged Property for the benefit of Participant. Seller shall maintain the Mortgaged Property pursuant to such practices as are customary in the locality where the Mortgaged Property is
located, and in accordance with procedures employed by prudent property owners acting for their own account. Seller shall collect all rents for the benefit of Participant and remit to Participant on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month all Mortgaged Property income after
expenses, including reimbursement of Seller advances, including but not limited to advances of principle and interest, third party fees and legal fees incurred with respect to the enforcement of Section 3.8 herein, and payment of Seller’s
management fee described below. Seller shall cooperate with Participant in the sale of the Mortgaged Property. Any such sale shall be pursuant to terms and conditions acceptable to Participant in its sole discretion. The proceeds of any such sale
shall be paid to Seller and remitted to Participant pursuant to Section 3.2(f) of this Agreement. In the event that Participant shall elect to accept a note or other noncash compensation in the sale of the Mortgaged Property, Participant agrees
to pay to Seller upon such sale any amounts then owing to Seller pursuant to this Agreement. 
 3.10 Compliance with Law.

Mortgage, including the timely giving of notices thereunder.

 3.13 Provision of

TERM; TERMINATION; TRANSFER. 
 4.1 Term of Agreement. Unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement,
this Agreement shall continue until the Mortgage Loans have been paid in full and Seller has completed all obligations under this Agreement regarding the management and sale of the Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Participant’s commitment to purchase Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall expire on June 30, 2013. 
 4.2 Termination. This agreement may be terminated upon the happening of any Seller Default (as defined in Section 6 hereof), at the option of the Participant, without the payment of a
termination fee or compensation of any kind to the Seller. Provided that Participant does not hold an Ownership Interest in any Mortgage Loan, Seller may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) business days written notice to Participant.

 4.3 Transfer by Participant. Participant will have the right to assign, transfer, convey, pledge, hypothecate or
otherwise dispose of a Participation Certificate. In the event of such assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or disposition, Seller will re-register the Participation Certificate upon request by Participant’s transferee. Seller
specifically acknowledges that Participant may (and shall have the right to) pledge an Ownership Interest in a Mortgage Loan to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) as collateral under an Advances, Pledge and Security
Agreement by and between Participant and FHLBI (the “APSA”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller further acknowledges and agrees that during such time as this Certificate is pledged to the FHLBI,
(i) Participant and Seller will hold the Mortgage Loan Documents in trust for the benefit of both Participant and the FHLBI, as their interests may appear, and (ii) the FHLBI shall have the right to take possession and ownership of the
Ownership Interest pursuant to the APSA. Seller further agrees to provide the FHLBI with duplicate copies of all notices or other communications to or from Participant pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Ownership Interest. Participant
also will have the right to sub-participate its Ownership Interest to one or more sub-participants. 
 5. CONTROL OF MORTGAGE
LOANS BY PARTICIPANT. 
 5.1 Control of Mortgage Loans. By the mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser, each
Mortgage Loan in which Participant purchases an Ownership Interest either shall be sold to an Investor or mortgage-backed securities for the Mortgage Loan shall be sold to an Investor. Such agreement does not evidence any element of retained control
of the Mortgage Loan by Seller. Seller has represented and warranted that there will be a commitment to sell the Mortgage Loan to an Investor for an amount equal to or greater than the unpaid balance of the Mortgage Loan and interest thereon for
each Mortgage Loan in which Participant purchases an Ownership Interest. In the event of a breach of this representation and warranty, Participant shall have all rights and remedies existing at law or equity and under this Agreement. It is the
intention of Seller and Purchaser that Purchaser have such control of a Mortgage Loan as shall be necessary for Purchaser’s Ownership Interest to be accounted for as a sale by Seller to Participant. Delivery of the Note to Participant for each
Mortgage Loan is intended to make Participant a holder of the Mortgage Loan under the Uniform Commercial Code and to vest in Participant the ability to exercise its control of a Mortgage Loan. 

 5.2 Bailee Letter. Seller shall provide instructions to Participant for the delivery
of the Mortgage Loan Documents to Investor in accordance with a bailee letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D which shall be attached to the front of every Note to facilitate the sale of a Mortgage Loan or mortgage-backed securities
to the Investor pursuant to the terms of such letter (the “Bailee Letter”). 
 5.3 Payment of Proceeds to
Participant. The Investor shall be directed to pay the purchase price for the sale of each Mortgage Loan or mortgage-backed securities for the Mortgage Loan by wire transfer to the Participant. Such direction shall state that it may not be
rescinded or modified without the written consent of Participant. A copy of such direction shall be delivered to the Seller. The proceeds from the sale of the Mortgage Loan or mortgage-backed securities for the Mortgage Loan shall be applied by the
Participant to the Participant’s and Seller’s pro rata interests in the unpaid principal balance and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan. To the extent that such proceeds exceed such amounts, the Participant shall remit to Seller by wire
transfer the excess. Any such excess payable to Seller shall represent Seller’s compensation and fee for originating the Mortgage Loan. To the extent that such proceeds are less than the amount necessary to pay both Participant and Seller for
their pro rata interests in the Mortgage Loan and interest accrued thereon in breach of Seller’s representations and warranties, the difference shall be paid by Seller and Participant shall be entitled to recover any shortfall in payment of its
Ownership Interest and interest thereon from Seller’s share of the proceeds, and Seller shall immediately remit or cause a third party to remit any remaining deficiency to the Participant by wire transfer. 

6. SELLER DEFAULT; REMEDIES. 
 (a) The occurrence of any of the following shall be a “Seller Default”: 

(i) Seller shall (1) fail to make remittances as provided in Section 3.2(g) hereof or shall fail to sell a Mortgage Loan or

 (ii) Seller shall assign, hypothecate, pledge or
transfer in any manner this Agreement or any of Seller’s rights hereunder, or suffer the creation of any lien upon, or security interest in, or the transfer of, any of Seller’s rights hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise in favor of
an assignee, transferee, pledgee, or secured party other than a lending bank of Seller reasonably acceptable to Participant; 

(iii) Seller shall institute proceedings for voluntary bankruptcy, or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the Federal
Bankruptcy Laws or for relief under any other law for the relief of debtors, or shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver of all or substantially all of its property, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver, 

 
liquidator or trustee of Seller or of all or substantially all of its property or approving any petition filed against Seller for its reorganization, and such adjudication or order shall remain
in force or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days, or a final judgment or decree for the payment of money is entered against Seller and such judgment or decree is not discharged or stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of entry
thereof; 
 (iv) Any creditor of Seller files a petition to reorganize or liquidate Seller and such petition is not discharged
or dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date on which it is filed; 
 (v) Any representation, warranty or covenant
of Seller contained herein is breached and Seller fails, within ten (10) days after written notice from Participant, to correct or cure such breach; 
 (vi) A default in any other agreement by and between Participant and Seller or under any other obligation of Seller to Participant; 

(vii) A default by Seller and a failure to cure within any applicable cure period under any material loan agreement, mortgage, indenture,
agreement or lease with another party; 
 (viii) A failure by Seller to maintain its status as an Agency-approved mortgagee in
good standing. 
 (b) In the event of a Seller Default, Participant shall have all remedies existing at law or equity including
but not limited to the following remedies which may be exercised by Participant at its election in any order (i) have Seller purchase the Ownership Interests upon demand of Participant, for a price equal to the sum of the following:
(A) the outstanding principal balance of the Participation Certificate, (B) interest on such amount calculated from the Funding Date at a rate equal to the rate or rates set forth on the respective Note or Notes (minus any interest on the
Participation Certificate previously paid by the Seller to the Participant), and (C) any costs or expenses incurred by Participant relating to the purchase and the fee paid to Seller under this Agreement for the Ownership Interests
(“Default Price”); (ii) sell the Mortgage Loan or assign it to an Agency-approved mortgagee designated by Participant the Mortgage and other Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan then serviced under this Agreement, deliver
such notices of assignment as may be required by sound and prudent mortgage banking practice, and give Participant an accounting for all funds and other property in connection with such assignment. Upon such assignment under this Section 6(b),
the designated mortgagee will become the mortgagee under this Agreement in the place and stead of Seller, with all the powers and obligations conferred or imposed by this Agreement on Seller hereunder, but without any obligation as to acts committed
or omitted to be taken prior to such assignment. Further, in the event of a Seller Default, Seller will be liable to Participant for any damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which Participant may incur.

 (c) Seller shall be liable to Participant for, and shall promptly pay to Participant, any damages incurred or suffered as a
result of a Seller Default or remaining after the exercise of any right or remedy provided herein and Seller shall indemnify Participant and Participant’s officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) and
hold the Indemnitees harmless from any claim loss, damage, liability or expense whatsoever (including without limitation, attorney’s fees) suffered or incurred by any of them and arising out of or resulting

 
from or attributable to any Seller Default. The indemnification obligation set forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. All rights and remedies of Participant herein
specified are cumulative and are in addition to, not in limitation of, any rights and remedies Participant may have by law or at equity. No waiver of any default or failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy by Participant shall operate as a
waiver of any other default or of the same default in the future or of any right or remedy with respect to the same or any other occurrence. 
 7. MISCELLANEOUS

herein or agreed to by the parties hereto, neither Seller shall not assign, sell, transfer or subparticipate its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

mortgage-backed securities for the Mortgage Loan for an amount equal to or greater than the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and interest thereon. Any loss or damage resulting from a breach of this representation and warranty, including
without limitation any loss incurred in the disposition of such Mortgage Loan to an Investor on the secondary market, shall be borne by Seller. Such loss or damage shall be recoverable by Participant as provided herein. Seller, where possible, shall
give Participant advance notice of any such loss or damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Participant shall be liable for their own expenses, including legal expenses, relating to the execution and performance of this Agreement. Seller
shall pay the expenses of servicing the Mortgage Loans. 
 7.3 Participation not Partnership or Loan. Neither the
execution of this Agreement, nor any sharing in the benefits and burdens by Seller and Participant in respect of the Mortgage Loans or in the proceeds thereof, is intended nor shall be construed to constitute the formation of a partnership or joint
venture between Seller and Participant, nor shall it be construed to be an extension of credit or a loan by Participant to Seller. It is agreed that Participant shall be the holder of the Ownership Interest.

Agreement may be prepared in a form acceptable to both parties and recorded in the county where Seller’s principal office is located and in the land records of the jurisdictions where the Mortgaged Property is located; provided, however, upon
transfer of the Participation Certificate by Participant, Participant shall deliver to Seller for recordation a termination or amendment of such recorded document.
