 22 

(c)        Initiation. 

(i)        Seller shall deliver a Transaction Request through the
EverBank Warehouse Electronic System to Buyer on or prior to the date and time set forth in Section 3(b)(vi) prior to entering into any Transaction. Such Transaction Request shall include all information required by Buyer pursuant to the
EverBank Warehouse Customer Guide. Following receipt of such request, Buyer may in its sole discretion agree to enter into such requested Transaction, in which case it will fund the Purchase Price therefor as contemplated in this Agreement.
Buyer’s funding the Purchase Price of the Transaction, and Seller’s acceptance thereof, will constitute the parties agreement to enter into such Transaction. Buyer shall confirm the terms of each Transaction on the EverBank Warehouse
Electronic System, including information that sets forth (A) the Purchase Date, (B) the Purchase Price, (C) the Repurchase Date, (D) the Pricing Rate applicable to the Transaction, (E) the applicable Purchase Price
Percentages, and (F) additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement; provided that Buyer’s failure to enter the information into the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System shall not affect the obligations of Seller with
respect to such Transaction. This Agreement is not a commitment by Buyer to enter into Transactions with Seller but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with periodic requests for Buyer to enter into Transactions with Seller.
Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer is under no obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement. 

(ii)        The information entered into the EverBank Warehouse
Electronic System with respect to any Transaction, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby unless objected to in writing by Seller no more than two (2) Business Days after
the Purchase Date of the Transaction. An objection sent by Seller must state specifically that such writing is an objection, must specify the provision(s) being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller
believes they should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more than two (2) Business Days after the Purchase Date for the Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Seller accepts funding of the Transaction, Seller
shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of the Transaction as set forth in the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System. All Transactions entered into on any Business Day shall be reflected in the Daily Activity Report on such Business Day. 

(iii)        Except as otherwise provided in the definition of
Termination Date, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction shall not be later than the Termination Date. 

(iv)        Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
prior to the Termination Date Seller may sell, repurchase and resell Eligible Mortgage Loans hereunder. 

(v)        No later than the date and time set forth in
Section 3(b)(vii), Seller shall deliver to Buyer (x) the Mortgage Loan File pertaining to each Eligible Mortgage Loan (other than Wet Mortgage Loans) to be purchased by Buyer, and (y) the Wet File for each Wet Mortgage Loan to be
purchased by Buyer. 
 (vi)        Subject to the provisions of this
Section 3, the Purchase Price will then be made available to Seller by Buyer transferring, via wire transfer, in the aggregate amount of such Purchase Price in funds immediately available, as provided in Section 9(b). 

(vii)        In addition to the other payment and performance
obligations of the Seller Parties under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, in the event that Buyer transfers any amounts for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan as provided herein, Seller Parties, jointly and 

  
 23 

 severally, shall be fully, absolutely, and unconditionally obligated and
liable to repay to Buyer the full amount thereof if (x) on the related scheduled Purchase Date such Mortgage Loan does not close, or (y) such Mortgage Loan otherwise fails to become a Purchased Mortgage Loan. Any amounts due pursuant to
this Section 3(c)(vii) shall be payable on demand, and the unpaid amount thereof shall accrue interest at the Post-Default Rate from the date so transferred until paid in full. 

(d)        Repurchase; Purchase by a Takeout Investor. 

(i)        Seller may repurchase Purchased Mortgage Loans without
penalty or premium on any date. Such repurchase may occur simultaneously with a sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loan to a Takeout Investor. If Seller intends to make such a repurchase, Seller shall give written notice thereof to Buyer through the
EverBank Warehouse Electronic System and in accordance with the EverBank Warehouse Customer Guide, designating the Purchased Mortgage Loans to be repurchased and providing such other information required pursuant thereto, including, without
limitation, delivery of a Takeout Investor Purchase Advice to the extent that such Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be purchased by a Takeout Investor. If such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein, and, on receipt, such amount shall be applied to the Repurchase Price for the designated Purchased Mortgage Loans. 

(ii)        On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction
will be effected by reassignment to Seller or its designee of the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including the related Servicing Rights and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the
Obligations of, Seller) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased
Mortgage Loan (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loan except as otherwise provided herein). Seller shall comply with all of the provisions of the
EverBank Warehouse Customer Guide in order to effectuate a repurchase hereunder. Seller is obligated to obtain the Mortgage Files from Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date. All repurchases effected on any Business
Day shall be reflected in the Daily Activity Report for such Business Day. 
  

	SECTION  4.	 MARGIN AMOUNT MAINTENANCE 

(a)        Buyer shall determine the Asset Value of each Purchased Mortgage Loan at
such intervals as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. 
 (b)        If at
any time the Asset Value of any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction is less than the Purchase Price for such Transaction, or any applicable Concentration Limit has been exceeded (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by
notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee cash so that, as applicable, (i) the Asset Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans will
thereupon equal or exceed the Purchase Price for such Transaction, and (ii) no Concentration Limit will be exceeded. 

(c)        Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) may be given by any written
or electronic means. Any notice given before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day; notice given after 10:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related 

  
 24 

 Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following
Business Day (the foregoing time requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as the “Margin Deadlines”). 

(d)        The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights
hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder
shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller. 

(e)        Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(b) above shall be
credited to the Repurchase Price of the Related Transactions. 
  

	SECTION  5.	 COLLECTIONS; INCOME PAYMENTS 

(a)        All Income, and all rights to Income, of, on, or otherwise with respect to
all Purchased Mortgage Loans is the sole and exclusive property of Buyer as the owner thereof, pending repurchase on the related Purchased Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that
Seller shall be entitled to receive, solely from such Income, an amount equal to all Income received in respect of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that any Income received by or on behalf of Seller while the related Transaction is
outstanding shall be deemed held by Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date. 

(b)        In the event that a Default has occurred and is continuing,
notwithstanding any provision set forth herein, Seller shall remit to Buyer, by wire transfer in accordance with wire transfer instructions previously given to Seller by Buyer, all Income received with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan on such
date or dates as Buyer notifies Seller in writing. 
 (c)        All amounts
required to be paid or remitted by Seller to Buyer which are not made when due shall bear interest from the due date until the remittance, transfer or payment is made, payable by Seller, at the lesser of the Post-Default Rate or the maximum rate of
interest permitted by law. If there is no maximum rate of interest specified by applicable law, interest on such sums shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate. 
  

	SECTION  6.	 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 

(a)        If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made
to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 

(i)        shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof; 

(ii)        shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise
included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 

  
 25 

 (iii)        shall
impose on Buyer any other condition; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer
deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated
by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. 

(b)        If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or
compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. 
 (c)        If Buyer becomes
entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by
Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
  

	SECTION  7.	 TAXES 

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

  
 26 

 payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from
the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 

(c)        Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless
against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and
any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be
paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor. 

(d)        Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes,
Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof. 

(e)        Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other
information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. 
 (f)        Each
party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat the Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Purchased
Mortgage Loans as owned by Seller for federal income tax purposes in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law. 

 

	SECTION 8.	 SECURITY INTEREST; BUYER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT 

(a)        Security Interest. On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells,
assigns and conveys all rights, title, and interests in, to, and under the Purchased Mortgage Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule or as to which Buyer otherwise pays the Purchase Price as provided herein, including the related
Mortgage File and Servicing Rights and all Income therefrom. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and, in any event, as security
for the performance by Seller of its Obligations, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title, and interest in, to, and
under the following, in all instances whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”): 

(i)        the Purchased Mortgage Loans; 

(ii)       the Mortgage File and Records related to the Purchased Mortgage
Loans; 
 (iii)      all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage
Loans; 
 (iv)      the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility
Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Mortgage Loans); 

  
 27 

 (v)        any
Property relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property; 

(vi)       any Takeout Commitments relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan;

 (vii)      any Closing Protection Letter relating to any Purchased Mortgage
Loan; 
 (viii)     all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any
Purchased Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance; 

(ix)       all Income relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan; 

(x)        Intentionally Omitted; 

(xi)       Intentionally Omitted; 

(xii)      the Inbound Account; 

(xiii)     the Haircut Account; 

(xiv)     any Hedge Agreements relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan; 

(xv)      any other contract rights, accounts, deposit accounts (including any
interest of Seller in escrow accounts), payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges), and general intangibles to the extent that any of the foregoing relates to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, 

(xvi)    any other assets relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without
limitation, any other deposit accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans; 

(xvii)   all collateral under any other secured debt facility (including, without limitation,
any facility documented as a repurchase agreement or similar purchase and sale agreement) between Seller or its Affiliates on the one hand and Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates on the other; 

(xviii)  any and all replacements or substitutions for, proceeds (including the related
securitization proceeds) of, and distributions on or with respect to any of the foregoing; and 

(xix)    any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Mortgage
Loan Schedule and/or Transaction Request and/or in the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System. 
 Seller acknowledges that it
has no rights to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and
pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security
agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(x) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets and the
Servicing Rights as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate, without 

  
 28 

 
the signature of Seller thereon. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8. 

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

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

(ii)       to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Repurchase Assets; 
 (iii)      (A) to direct any
party liable for any payment under any Repurchase Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for,
any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Repurchase Assets; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection
with any Repurchase Assets; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Repurchase Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Repurchase Assets; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Repurchase Assets; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause
(E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Repurchase Assets as
fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect,
preserve or realize upon the Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do; 

(iv)      for the purpose of carrying out the transfer of servicing with respect
to the Mortgage Loans from Seller to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish
such transfer of servicing, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by Seller, to, in the name of Seller or its own name, or otherwise, prepare and
send or cause to be sent “good-bye” letters to all mortgagors under the Mortgage Loans, transferring the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole
discretion; 

  
 29 

 (v)        for the
purpose of delivering any notices of sale to Mortgagors or other third parties, including without limitation, those required by law. 

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney
is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition to the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney to be delivered on the date hereof. 

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with
any sale provided for in Section 14 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets. 

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Repurchase Assets and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

Upon an Event of Default, Buyer shall be entitled to all remedies available to a secured creditor under the Uniform
Commercial Code and shall have the right to apply the Repurchase Assets or any proceeds therefrom to all Obligations. 
  

	SECTION 9.	 PAYMENT, TRANSFER; ACCOUNTS AND CUSTODY 

(a)        Buyer’s Account. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing,
all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the account maintained and indicated by Buyer not later than 3:00 p.m. New York
City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the
foregoing account. 
 (b)        Remittance of Purchase Price. On the
Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to the applicable Settlement Agent. With respect to the Purchased
Mortgage Loans being sold by Seller on a Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and
to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, including the related Mortgage File and Servicing Rights and all Income thereon, and all right, title, and interest of Seller in and to the proceeds of any related Repurchase Assets. Buyer may confirm that the
Initial Haircut Account Funded Amount has been deposited into the Haircut Account prior to its remittance of any amounts in accordance herewith. Subject to Buyer’s verification of necessary cleared funds in the Haircut Account, Buyer shall
remit to the Settlement Agent the full amount of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Mortgage Loan and shall withdraw and retain from the Haircut Account, the Haircut Amount. 

(c)        Intentionally Omitted. 

(d)        Inbound Account. Seller shall establish and maintain an Inbound
Account identified in the Pricing Letter, in the form of a deposit account. The Inbound Account shall be established with EverBank. Buyer shall have exclusive withdrawal rights from such Inbound Account. Funds deposited in the Inbound Account may be
transferred as set forth herein. Any interest or other earnings on the investment of funds held in the Inbound Account shall be deposited in the Inbound Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant hereto. All amounts on deposit in the Inbound Account
shall be 

  
 30 

 held as cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement (such amount, to
the extent not applied to Obligations under the Agreement, the “Repurchase Proceeds”). In connection with any repurchase or purchase by a Takeout Investor of a Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall direct remittance of the proceeds
therefor into the Inbound Account. Seller shall be required to comply with all requirements in connection with any repurchase and remittance into the Inbound Account. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Proceeds in the Inbound Account, Buyer shall apply
such Repurchase Proceeds to the Repurchase Price for the related Purchased Mortgage Loans. Any Repurchase Proceeds in excess of the Repurchase Price for the related Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be remitted to the Haircut Account, for application
as contemplated pursuant to Section 9(e). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Margin Call or other Default exists, Buyer shall be entitled to use any or all of the Repurchase Proceeds to cure such circumstance
or otherwise exercise remedies available to Buyer without prior notice to, or consent from, Seller. 

(e)        Haircut Account. Seller shall establish and maintain a Haircut

investment of funds held in the Haircut Account shall be deposited in the Haircut Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant hereto. Buyer is hereby authorized and instructed by Seller to withdraw from the Haircut Account any and all amounts
contemplated herein. On each Purchase Date, Seller shall deposit the Initial Haircut Account Funded Amount into the Haircut Account. Upon purchase by Buyer of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer shall withdraw the Haircut Amount to reimburse
itself for the difference between the actual amount remitted by Buyer on the Purchase Date on account of the Purchased Mortgage Loan and the Purchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loan. Upon repurchase by Seller, or purchase by a Takeout
Investor, of any Purchased Mortgage Loan, if there remain on deposit in the Inbound Account Excess Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then Buyer shall remit the Excess Proceeds to the Haircut Account and such Excess Proceeds shall be added
to the Net Account Funded Amount for such Mortgage Loan. Upon repurchase by Seller, or purchase by a Takeout Investor, of any Purchased Mortgage Loan, if there exists in the Inbound Account Shortfall Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loan, then
Buyer may withdraw from the Haircut Account the amount of any Shortfall Proceeds and such amount shall be deducted from the Net Account Funded Amount. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withdraw from the Haircut
Account all Warehouse Fees. To the extent that, following application of all deposits and withdrawals as contemplated herein with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan that is repurchased by Seller or purchased by a Takeout Investor, (i) the Net
Account Funded Amount for any such Mortgage Loan is a positive number, then such Net Account Funded Amount for such Mortgage Loan shall, subject to this section, be available for remittance to Seller upon written request therefor; and (ii) the
Net Account Funded Amount for any such repurchased Mortgage Loan is a negative number, then Seller shall promptly remit to Buyer the amount of such Net Account Funded Amount for such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that
the Net Account Funded Amount for any repurchased Mortgage Loan is a negative number, Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw, retain and apply any amounts on deposit in the Haircut Account up to the amount of such negative Net Account Funded Amount. To
the extent that the aggregate Net Account Funded Amounts (net of any amounts withdrawn as contemplated herein) for all repurchased Mortgage Loans exceeds the Surplus Amount, then Seller may, no more than once per Business Day, deliver a written
request prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York Time) for Buyer to remit any amount in excess of the Surplus Amount to Seller. To the extent that there exists no Default, Buyer shall, upon receipt of such written request, remit any such amount in excess of the
Surplus Amount to Seller. Any interest or other earnings on the investment of funds deposited in the Haircut Account shall be deposited in the Haircut Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
in the event that a Margin Call or other Default exists, Buyer shall be entitled to use any or all of the amounts on deposit in the Haircut Account to cure such circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to Buyer without prior notice to,
or consent from, Seller. 

  
 31 

 (f)        Fees. Seller
shall pay in immediately available funds to Buyer all fees, including without limitation, the Warehouse Fees, as and when required hereunder. All such payments shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account designated by Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer may withdraw and retain from the Haircut
Account any Warehouse Fees due and owing to Buyer.

 Upon the payment in full, sale or repurchase of any Mortgage Loan, and upon receipt
by Buyer of such information through the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System, and subject to Buyer receiving all amounts due on account of the Repurchase Price hereunder, and there existing no Event of Default, Buyer shall promptly release the
related Mortgage File to Seller.

shall not ship the related Mortgage Files.

result in any such material adverse change or could have a Material Adverse Effect. The Financial Reporting Party does not have, on the Annual Financial Statement Date, any liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured,
known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or

 33 

 Adverse Effect; (iii) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other

of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 15(a) and 17 hereof. 

(c)        The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price
(including all Price Differential) and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller. 

(d)        The obligations of Seller under this Section 15 hereof shall survive
the termination of this Agreement. 
  

	SECTION 16.	 SERVICING 

(a)        As a condition of purchasing a Mortgage Loan, Buyer may require Seller to
service such Mortgage Loan as agent for Buyer for a term of [***] (the “Servicing Term”), which is renewable as provided in clause (d) below, on the following terms and conditions: 

(b)        Seller shall service and administer the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf
of Buyer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Agencies, Requirements of Law, the provisions of any applicable servicing agreement, and the requirements of any applicable Takeout
Commitment and the Takeout Investor, so that the eligibility of the Purchased Mortgage Loan for purchase under such Takeout Commitment is not voided or reduced by such servicing and administration. 

(c)        If any Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is
serviced by a servicer other than Seller or any of its Affiliates (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan is to be transferred to a Subservicer, Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement
and a Servicer Notice executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer prior to such Purchase Date or servicing transfer date, as applicable. Each such Servicing Agreement shall be in form and
substance acceptable to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion. In no event
shall Seller’s use of a Subservicer relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder, and Seller shall remain liable under this Agreement as if Seller were servicing such Mortgage Loans directly. 

  
 49 

 (d)        Seller shall deliver the
physical and contractual master servicing of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, together with all of the related Records in its possession, to Buyer’s designee upon the earliest of (w) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default hereunder,
(x) the termination of Seller as servicer by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (y) the expiration (and non-renewal) of the Servicing Term, or (z) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved
by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity. Buyer shall have the right to terminate Seller as master servicer (and any Subservicer as subservicer) of any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, which right shall be exercisable at any time in
Buyer’s sole discretion, upon written notice. In addition, Seller shall deliver the physical and contractual master servicing of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, together with all of the related Records in its possession to Buyer’s designee,
upon expiration of the Servicing Term; provided that the Servicing Term and such delivery requirement will be deemed renewed for a like period on the last day of the Servicing Term, and on the last day of each such renewed Servicing Term, in the
absence of directions to the contrary from Buyer; provided further that such delivery requirement will no longer apply to any Mortgage Loan, and Seller shall have no further obligation to service such Mortgage Loan as agent for Buyer, upon receipt
by Buyer of the Repurchase Price therefor. Seller’s transfer of the Records and the physical and contractual servicing under this Section shall be in accordance with customary standards in the industry and such transfer shall include the
transfer of the gross amount of all escrows held for the related mortgagors (without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”). 

(e)        During the period Seller is servicing the Purchased Mortgage Loans as
agent for Buyer, Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of the related Credit Files and Records and Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard and cause any Subservicer to maintain and safeguard the Credit File for the Mortgage Loan (including
photocopies or images of the documents delivered to Buyer), and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Mortgage Loan; Seller’s possession of the Credit Files and Servicing Records being for the sole purpose of master servicing
such Mortgage Loans and such retention and possession by Seller being in a custodial capacity only. Seller hereby grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees to secure the obligations of Seller and any Subservicer to service in conformity
with this Section and any related Servicing Agreement. 
 (f)        At
Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Mortgage Loan being serviced by Seller, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than
[***] or such other circumstances that could cause a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s title to such Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Mortgage Loan; Seller may be required to deliver such reports until the
repurchase of the Mortgage Loan by Seller. Seller shall immediately notify Buyer if it becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under the Mortgage Loan or any default under any Servicing Agreement that would materially and adversely affect
any Mortgage Loan subject thereto. 
 (g)        Seller shall release its custody
of the contents of any Credit File or Mortgage File only (i) in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, (ii) upon the consent of Buyer when such release is required as incidental to Seller’s servicing of the Mortgage Loan,
is required to complete the Takeout Commitment or comply with the Takeout Commitment requirements, or (iii) as required by Requirements of Law. 

(h)        Buyer reserves the right to appoint a successor servicer at any time to
service any Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”) in its sole discretion. If Buyer elects to make such an appointment due to a Default or Event of Default, Seller shall be assessed all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer
associated with transferring the Mortgage Loans to the Successor Servicer. In the event of such an appointment, Seller shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Credit File and related Records held by Seller, together with
all Income and other receipts relating to such Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to Successor Servicer, and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Buyer 

  
 50 

 
in effectuating such transfer. Seller shall have no claim for lost servicing income, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder and the servicing fee is
reduced or eliminated. 
 (i)        For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no
economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans provided that Seller shall continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased
Mortgage Loans are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis. 
  

	SECTION 17.	 DUE DILIGENCE 

Seller acknowledges that Buyer or any third party designated by Buyer (including Buyer’s regulators) has the right to
perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Seller Parties, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon
reasonable prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and
extracts of, the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable
financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller
based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Purchased Mortgage Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial
or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and
otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer
and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to
such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 17 (“Due Diligence Costs”); provided, however, that Seller shall not be responsible for Buyer’s due diligence costs incurred in connection with the
initial due diligence conducted by Buyer prior to the date hereof. 
  

	SECTION 18.	 ASSIGNABILITY 

The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller
without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Buyer may from time to time assign all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion
of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to
the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned 

  
 51 

 
by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from
Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller. 

Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and
(iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 7. 

Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 18, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by
or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. 

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

	SECTION 19.	 TRANSFER AND MAINTENANCE OF REGISTER 

(a)        Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section 19, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 19 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 19(b) hereof. 

(b)        Seller shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on
which it will record Buyer’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or
portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it
shall provide Seller, or maintain as agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or under any
applicable Requirements of Law. 
  

	SECTION 20.	 HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS 

Title to all Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted
use of all Purchased Mortgage Loans. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the
Purchased Mortgage Loans to any Person, including without limitation, the Federal Home Loan Bank. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to Buyer by Seller. 

  
 52 

	SECTION 21.	 TAX AND ACCOUNTING TREATMENT 

Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and
franchise taxes, and for accounting purposes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All
parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by applicable Requirements of Law or GAAP. 
  

	SECTION 22.	 SET-OFF 

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

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

 

	SECTION 23.	 TERMINABILITY 

Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall
survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may
have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. Notwithstanding any such termination or the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the
representations and warranties and covenants hereunder shall continue and survive. 
  

	SECTION 24.	 NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS 

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein
(including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by electronic transmission) delivered to the intended recipient at the
“Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. In all cases, to the extent
that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of
such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Section 3 (which shall be effective only on
receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when transmitted during business hours at the recipient’s place of 

  
 53 

 
business by email (if an email address for such purpose is provided for such Person), (b) when delivered, if delivered by hand (including by courier or overnight delivery service), or (c) in
the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. 
  

	SECTION 25.	 USE OF THE EVERBANK WAREHOUSE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM AND OTHER ELECTRONIC MEDIA 

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may require or permit certain transactions with Buyer be conducted electronically
using Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures. Seller consents to the use of Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures whenever expressly required or permitted by Buyer and acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall be bound by its
Electronic Signature and by the terms, conditions, requirements, information and/or instructions contained in any such Electronic Records. 

Seller agrees to adopt as its Electronic Signature its user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers,
access codes, a facsimile image of a written signature and/or other symbols or processes as provided or required by Buyer from time to time (as a group, any subgroup thereof or individually, hereinafter referred to as Seller’s Electronic
Signature). Seller acknowledges that Buyer will rely on any and all Electronic Records and on Seller’s Electronic Signature transmitted or submitted to Buyer. 

Buyer shall not be liable for the failure of either its or Seller’s internet service provider, or any other
telecommunications company, telephone company, satellite company or cable company to timely, properly and accurately transmit any Electronic Record or fax copy. 

Before engaging in Electronic Transactions with Seller, Buyer may provide Seller, or require Seller to create, user
identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes, as applicable, to permit access to Buyer’s computer information processing system. Each Person permitted access to the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System
must have a separate identification code and password. Seller shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and access codes provided or required by
Buyer. Seller shall adopt and maintain security measures to prevent the loss, theft or unauthorized or improper disclosure or use of any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes by Persons
other than the individual Person who is authorized to use such information. Seller shall notify Buyer immediately in the event (i) of any loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of any of the user identification codes, passwords, personal
identification numbers and/or access codes or (ii) Seller has any reason to believe there has been a breach of security or that its access to EverBank Warehouse Electronic System is no longer secure for any reason. 

Seller understands and agrees that it shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding its computer hardware and
software from any and all (a) computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that may cause or facilitate the destruction, corruption,
malfunction or appropriation of, or damage or change to, any of Seller’s or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes and
(b) computer “worms,” “trap doors” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that enable unauthorized access to Seller’s and/or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including
without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes. 
 Seller agrees that Buyer
may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, without limiting Seller’s liability set forth herein, establish minimum security standards that Seller must, at a 

  
 54 

 
minimum, comply with in an effort to (x) protect and safeguard any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes from loss, theft or
unauthorized disclosure or use; and (y) prevent the infiltration and “infection” of Seller’s hardware and/or software by any and all computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses,”
“worms,” “trapdoors” or other harmful computer codes or programs. 
 If Buyer, from time to time,
establishes minimum security standards, Seller shall comply with such minimum security standards within the time period established by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to confirm Seller’s compliance with any such minimum security standards.
Seller’s compliance with such minimum security standards shall not relieve Seller from any of its liability set forth herein. 

Whether or not Buyer establishes minimum security standards, Seller shall continue to be fully responsible for adopting and
maintaining security measures that are consistent with the risks associated with conducting electronic transactions with Buyer. Seller’s failure to adopt and maintain appropriate security measures or to comply with any minimum security
standards established by Buyer may result in, among other things, termination of Seller’s access to Buyer’s computer information processing systems. 

Seller understands and agrees that certain elements or components of the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System may be provided
by third party vendors, and hereby holds Buyer harmless from any liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Seller Party relating to or arising out of
Seller’s use of the EverBank Warehouse System including, without limitation, the use or failure of any elements or components provided by third party vendors. 
  

	SECTION 26.	 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY; SINGLE AGREEMENT 

This Agreement, together with the Facility Documents, constitute the entire understanding between Buyer and Seller with
respect to the subject matter they cover and shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions involving Purchased Mortgage Loans. By acceptance of this Agreement, Buyer
and Seller each acknowledge that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and
independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. 

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration
of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees
(i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that Buyer shall
be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by it in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to it in respect of any other Transaction hereunder, (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them
in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other
transfers may be applied against each other and netted, and (iv) to promptly provide notice to the other after any such set off or application. 
  

	SECTION 27.	 GOVERNING LAW 

  
 55 

 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE EFFECTIVENESS, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF ELECTRONIC CONTRACTS, OTHER RECORDS, ELECTRONIC RECORDS AND ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES USED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ELECTRONIC TRANSACTION BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY E-SIGN. 
  

	SECTION 28.	 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS 

BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY: 

(i)        PURSUANT TO SECTION
5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND
ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY
THEREOF; 
 (ii)        CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME; 

(iii)      AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH UNDER ITS SIGNATURE BELOW OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE OTHER PARTY SHALL HAVE
BEEN NOTIFIED; 
 (iv)      AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE
RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND 

(v)        HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER FACILITY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 

 

	SECTION 29.	 NO WAIVERS, ETC. 

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right,
power or privilege under any Facility Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Facility 

  
 56 

 Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing. 

 

	SECTION 30.	 CONFIDENTIALITY 

Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to any
other regarding the terms set forth in any of the Facility Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any party without the prior written
consent of such other party except to the extent that (i) it is necessary to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any applicable federal or
state laws, (ii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, or (iii) in the event of an Event of Default Buyer determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in
connection with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Facility Document,
the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the
Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the
name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Warehouse Fees, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information
(including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the
prior written consent of Buyer. The provisions set forth in this Section 30 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal
laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Seller
understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain such
nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Seller shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure
the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the GLB Act) of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which Buyer holds,
(b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Seller shall, at a minimum
establish and maintain such data security program as is necessary to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 12 C.F.R. Parts
30, 208, 211, 225, 263, 308, 364, 568 and 570. Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that Seller has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section. Without limitation, this may
include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Seller. Seller shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of
nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to Seller by Buyer or such Affiliate. Seller shall provide such 

  
 57 

 notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by
overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual. 
  

	SECTION 31.	 INTENT 

(a)        The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase
agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and
that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code. 

(b)        It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased
Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of
the United States Code, as amended. 
 (c)        The parties agree and acknowledge
that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” a
“repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract” as such terms are defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder. 

(d)        It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting
contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a
“covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as
that term is defined in FDICIA). 
  

	SECTION 32.	 DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that: 

(a)        in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or
dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position
that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; 

(b)        in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government
securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and 

(c)        in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial
institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

  

	SECTION 33.	 AUTHORIZATIONS 

Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 3 to the Pricing Letter are authorized, acting singly, to
