 20 

 Section 3.06 Solvency. Seller is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by

and the Program Agreements do not conflict with any term or provision of the organizational documents of Seller or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to Seller of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over Seller, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement, obligation or Servicing Contract to
which Seller is a party. 
 Section 3.08 True and Complete Disclosure. All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial
statements or certificates of Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of Seller or any Affiliate thereof or officer thereof,

 21 

 (d) The provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of Buyer a valid
security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Repurchase Assets. 
 (e) Upon the filing of financing
statements on Form UCC-1 naming Buyer as “Secured Party” and Seller as “Debtor”, and describing the Repurchase Assets, in the recording offices of the Secretary of State of Delaware the
security interests granted hereunder in the Repurchase Assets will constitute fully perfected first priority security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under such Repurchase Assets to
the extent such security interests can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial Code. 
 Section 3.11 The Servicing
Contracts and Participation Agreements. Buyer has received copies of the Key Servicing Contract Documentation related to each Servicing Contract and the Participation Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules referred to therein or
delivered pursuant thereto), all amendments thereto, waivers relating thereto and other side letters or agreements affecting the terms thereof and all agreements and other material documents relating thereto, and Seller hereby certifies that the
copies delivered to Buyer by Seller are true and complete. None of such documents has been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (including waivers) since the respective dates thereof, except by amendments, copies of which have been delivered
to Buyer. Each such document to which Seller is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and is in full force and effect, and no default or material breach has occurred and is continuing thereunder. 

Section 3.12 Investment Company. Neither Seller nor any of its wholly owned subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or
a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

and has been, located at the address specified in Section 10.04 for notices to Seller. On the date hereof, Seller’s jurisdiction of organization is the State of Delaware. Seller shall provide Buyer with thirty (30) days advance
notice of any change in Seller’s principal office or place of business or jurisdiction. Seller has no trade name. During the preceding five (5) years, Seller has not been known by or done business under any other name, corporate or

reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Plan to which Seller or its wholly owned subsidiaries make direct contributions, and, to the knowledge of Seller, each other Plan and each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in
all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other Federal or State law. 

  
 22 

 Section 3.16 Ginnie Mae Approvals; Servicing Facilities. Seller has adequate
financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices. Seller is a Ginnie Mae approved issuer. To the extent necessary, Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee and a VA Approved Lender. Seller is also approved, to the extent necessary, by the Secretary of HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of
the National Housing Act. In each such case, Seller is in good standing, with no event having occurred or Seller having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur, including a change in insurance coverage which would either make Seller
unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to Ginnie Mae or to HUD, FHA, VA or the USDA Rural Housing Service. Should Seller for any reason cease to possess all such
applicable approvals, or should notification to Ginnie Mae or to HUD, FHA, VA or the USDA Rural Housing Service be required, Seller shall so notify Buyer promptly in writing. 

Section 3.17 Plan Assets. Seller is not and is not acting on behalf of an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of
Title I of ERISA that is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to 4975 of the Code or any entity that is deemed to hold Plan Assets, and the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets are
not Plan Assets. Seller is not subject to any state or local statute regulating investments or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which would be violated by the Transactions
contemplated hereunder. 
 Section 3.18 No Prohibited Persons. Neither Seller nor any of its officers, directors, partners or
members, nor, to the knowledge of Seller, any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, is an entity or person (or to the Seller’s knowledge, majority owned or controlled by an entity or person): (i) that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise
subject to the provisions of Executive Order 13224 issued on September 24, 2001 (“EO13224”); (ii) whose name appears on the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”)

threatens to commit or supports “terrorism”, as that term is defined in EO13224; or (iv) that is (1) the subject of any sanctions administered or enforced by OFAC, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce,
the European Union or Her Majesty’s Treasury (collectively, “Sanctions”) or (2) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of comprehensive Sanctions (any and all
parties or persons described in clauses (i) through (iv) above are herein referred to as a “Prohibited Person”). 

Section 3.19 Compliance with 1933 Act. Neither Seller nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or
otherwise disposed of the Participation Certificates, any interest in the Participation Certificates or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Participation Certificates,
any interest in the Participation Certificates or any other similar security from, or 

  
 23 

 
otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Participation Certificates, any interest in the Participation Certificates or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or
made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Participation Certificates under the 1933 Act or which would render the disposition of the
Participation Certificates a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto. 
 Section 3.20
Eligible Assets. All Assets that are subject to a Transaction under this Agreement are Eligible Assets. 
 ARTICLE IV 

CONVEYANCE; REPURCHASE ASSETS; SECURITY INTEREST 

Section 4.01 Ownership. Upon payment (or deemed payment) of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall become the sole owner of the Purchased
Assets and related Repurchase Assets (other than the related MSRs, which are pledged, and not sold, to Buyer), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, but subject to the rights of Ginnie Mae pursuant to the Acknowledgment Agreement with Ginnie
Mae. 
 Section 4.02 Security Interest. 

(a) Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (other than the MSRs, which are pledged,
and not sold, to Buyer), in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully
perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located,
is hereinafter referred to as the “Repurchase Assets”: 
 (i) each Participation Certificate and all MSRs related
thereto, whether such MSRs are in existence on the date such Participation Certificate becomes the subject of a Transaction hereunder or arise thereafter, and whether or not such Assets or the related Mortgage Pools are listed on an Asset Schedule;

 (ii) all MSRs arising under or related to any Servicing Contract; 

(iii) all rights to reimbursement or payment of Assets and/or amounts due in respect thereof under the related Servicing
Contract, Ginnie Mae MBS or Participation Agreement, including MBS Advances; 
 (iv) any rights in the Dedicated Account
and to the amounts on deposit therein; 
 (v) all rights under each Participation Agreement; 

  
 24 

 (vi) all records, instruments or other documentation evidencing any of the
foregoing; 
 (vii) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”,
“securities accounts”, “investment property”, “deposit accounts” and “money” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing (including all of Seller’s
rights, title and interest in and under the Participation Agreements and the Servicing Contracts); and 
 (viii) any and
all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing. 
 (b) Seller hereby assigns, pledges,
conveys and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Repurchase Assets to Buyer to secure the Obligations. Seller agrees to mark its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to Buyer
hereunder. 
 (c) The parties acknowledge that Ginnie Mae has certain rights under the Acknowledgment Agreement, including the right to
cause the Seller to transfer servicing to Buyer or Buyer’s designee under certain circumstances as more particularly set forth therein. To the extent that Ginnie Mae requires a transfer of MSRs to a Successor Issuer, and in order to secure
Seller’s obligations to effect such transfer, when and if such transfer is required, Seller hereby assigns, pledges, conveys and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the MSRs to such Successor
Issuer, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located. The parties acknowledge that, to the extent that Ginnie Mae exercises its rights to cause Seller to transfer the MSRs and Portfolio Excess
Spread to a Successor Issuer (and, if accepted by Buyer, to cause a Successor Issuer to accept and assume the responsibility for performing Seller’s servicing duties under, and otherwise complying with the related Servicing Contract) without
the requirement of payment therefor, such transfer shall be deemed a transfer in exchange for debt forgiveness by Buyer in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the fair market value of such MSRs and Portfolio Excess Spread and (y) the
outstanding balance of the Repurchase Price attributable to such MSRs and Portfolio Excess Spread, each as determined by Buyer. The Successor Issuer shall have all the rights and remedies against Seller and the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets
as set forth herein and under the UCC. 
 (d) The foregoing provisions of this Section are intended to constitute a security agreement or
other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

Section 4.03 Further Documentation. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense
of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or
preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction with respect to
the Liens created hereby. 

  
 25 

 Section 4.04 Limited Pledge of Ginnie Mae Servicing. The Buyer acknowledges and
agrees that (x) the Seller is entitled to servicing income with respect to a given mortgage pool only so long as Seller is a Ginnie Mae approved issuer; (y) upon the Seller’s loss of such approved issuer status, the Buyer’s
rights to any servicing income related to a given mortgage pool also terminate; and (z) the pledge of the Seller’s rights to servicing income conveys no rights (such as a right to become a substitute servicer or issuer) that are not
otherwise specifically provided for in the Ginnie Mae Contract, provided that this sentence shall automatically be deemed amended or modified if and to the extent Ginnie Mae amends the Ginnie Mae Contract, the applicable Acknowledgment
Agreement, if any, or published announcements and provided further that the security interest created hereby is subject to the following provision to be included in each financing statement filed in respect hereof (defined terms used below
shall have the meaning set forth in the applicable Acknowledgment Agreement): 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:

 (1) The property subject to the security interest reflected in this instrument includes all of the right, title and interest of
Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (“Debtor”) in certain mortgages and/or participation interests related to such mortgages (“Pooled Mortgages”), and pooled under the mortgage-backed securities program of the Government
National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), pursuant to section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g); 

(2) To the extent that the security interest reflected in this instrument relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages, such security interest is
subject and subordinate to all rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under and in connection with: (i) 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g) and any implementing regulations; (ii) the terms and conditions
of that certain Acknowledgment Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2018, with respect to the Security Interest, by and among Ginnie Mae, Debtor and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee; (iii) applicable Guaranty Agreements and contractual
agreements between Ginnie Mae and the Debtor; and (iv) the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, Handbook 5500.3 Rev. 1, and other applicable guides (items (i), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Ginnie Mae Contract”);

 (3) Such rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae include, but are not limited to, Ginnie Mae’s right, by issuing a letter of
extinguishment to Debtor, to effect and complete the extinguishment of all redemption, equitable, legal or other right, title or interest of the Debtor in the Pooled Mortgages, in which event the security interest as it relates in any way to the
Pooled Mortgages shall instantly and automatically be extinguished as well; and 

  
 26 

 (4) For purposes of clarification, “subject and subordinate” in clause
(2) above means, among other things, that any cash held by Citibank as collateral and any cash proceeds received by Citibank in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the
collateral may only be applied by Citibank to the extent that such proceeds have been received by, or for the account of, the Debtor free and clear of all Ginnie Mae rights and other restrictions on transfer under applicable Ginnie Mae guidelines;
provided that this clause (4) shall not be interpreted as establishing rights in favor of Ginnie Mae except to the extent that such rights are reflected in, or arise under, the Ginnie Mae Contract. 

Section 4.05 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Seller shall not (a) change the location of its chief executive office/chief
place of business from that specified in Section 3.13, (b) change its jurisdiction of organization from the jurisdiction referred to in Section 3.13, or (c) change its name or identity, in each case unless it shall have
given Buyer at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken all other actions deemed
necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Repurchase Assets with the same or better priority. 
 Section 4.06
Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. 
 (a)
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 if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 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 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 to do the following: 

(i) in the name of Seller or 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 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 Repurchase Asset whenever payable; 
 (ii) to
pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Repurchase Assets; 
 (iii) except to the
extent inconsistent with the related Servicing Contracts and the Acknowledgment Agreement, request that MSRs be transferred to Buyer or to another servicer approved by Ginnie Mae and perform (without assuming or being deemed to have assumed any of
the obligations of Seller thereunder) all aspects of each Servicing Contract that is a Purchased Asset; 

  
 27 

 (iv) request distribution to Buyer of sale proceeds or applicable contract
termination fees, if any, arising from the sale or termination of such MSRs and remaining after satisfaction of Seller’s relevant obligations to Ginnie Mae, including costs and expenses related to any such sale or transfer of such MSRs and
other amounts due for unmet obligations of Seller to Ginnie Mae under the Ginnie Mae Contract and any and all instruments, agreements, invoices or other writings which give rise to or otherwise evidence any of the MSRs; 

(v) deal with investors and master servicers in respect of any of the Repurchase Assets in the same manner and with the
same effect as if done by Seller; and 
 (vi) (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 Asset; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the 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 portion 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 of the 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. 
 (b) 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 until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement
is terminated. 
 (c) Seller also authorizes Buyer, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for
in Section 4.08 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets. 

(d) The powers conferred on Buyer are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Repurchase Assets and shall not impose any duty upon
Buyer 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 Buyer nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Seller
for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for Buyer’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  
 28 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any of the other Program Agreements, any
appointment set forth in this Section 4.06, as well as Buyer’s exercise (or purported exercise) of any right, power or authority given by Seller hereunder, shall be subject to the Ginnie Mae Contract, the Acknowledgment Agreement
and any and all instruments, agreements, invoices or other writings which give rise to or otherwise evidence any of the MSRs. 

Section 4.07 Performance by Buyer of Seller’s Obligations. If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements
contained in the Program Agreements and Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable (under the circumstances)
out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer actually incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to
the Pricing Rate shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed from and including the preceding MRA Payment Date to and excluding
such date of determination and a 360 day year. 
 Section 4.08 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
(a) all proceeds of Repurchase Assets received by Seller consisting of cash, checks and other liquid assets readily convertible to cash items shall be held by Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Seller, and shall forthwith
upon receipt by Seller be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by Seller (duly endorsed by Seller to Buyer, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Buyer (whether from Seller or otherwise) may, in the sole
discretion of Buyer, be held by Buyer as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Buyer against, the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Buyer shall elect. Any
balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, the provisions of this Section 4.08 shall be subject to the applicable Servicing Contracts and the Acknowledgment Agreement entered into with Ginnie Mae. 

Section 4.09 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Buyer may exercise, in addition to all other rights
and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (including Buyer’s rights to
a strict foreclosure under Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer may seek the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee,
or similar official in respect of Seller or any of Seller’s property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer may terminate a Participation Interest in accordance with the applicable Participation Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Buyer without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required under this Agreement or by law referred to below) to or upon Seller or any other
Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, or any part thereof, and/or may
forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Repurchase Assets or any part thereof (or contract to do any 

  
 29 

 
of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Buyer or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions
as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Buyer shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law,
upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Repurchase Assets so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Seller further agrees, at Buyer’s
request, to assemble the Repurchase Assets and make them available to Buyer at places which Buyer shall reasonably select, whether at Seller’s premises or elsewhere. Buyer shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable (under the circumstances) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred therein or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Repurchase Assets or in any way relating to the Repurchase Assets or the rights of Buyer hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part
of the Obligations, in such order as Buyer may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Buyer of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including
Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Buyer account for the surplus, if any, to Seller. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire
against Buyer arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition
of Repurchase Assets shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as
contemplated herein) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Repurchase Assets are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements in amounts reasonable under the circumstances, of any attorneys employed by Buyer
to collect such deficiency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, the remedies set forth in this Section 4.09 shall be subject to the applicable Servicing Contracts and the
Acknowledgment Agreement entered into with Ginnie Mae. 
 Section 4.10 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Repurchase
Assets. Indenture Trustee’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Repurchase Assets in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code
or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or
any part of the Repurchase Assets or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Repurchase Assets upon the request of Seller or otherwise. 

Section 4.11 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Repurchase
Assets are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. 

  
 30 

 Section 4.12 Release of Security Interest. Upon the latest to occur of
(a) the repayment to Buyer of all Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Program Agreements, and (b) the occurrence of the Termination Date, Buyer shall release its security interest in any remaining Repurchase Assets
hereunder and shall promptly execute and deliver to Seller such documents or instruments as Seller shall reasonably request to evidence such release; provided, that such release shall not be required until such time as the Acknowledgment

damages suffered by Seller in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated or the relationship established by this Agreement, the other loan documents or any other agreement entered into in connection
herewith or therewith or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, unless it is determined by a judgment of a court that is binding on Buyer (which judgment shall be final and not subject to review on appeal), that
such damages were the result of acts or omissions on the part of a Buyer Party, as applicable, constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence.

provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or any other Program Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 Section 10.06 Section Headings. The Article and Section headings in this
Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 10.07 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile

 Section 10.08
Periodic Due Diligence Review. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to Seller and the Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and
specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than five (5) Business Days’) 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, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the ordinary conduct of Seller’s business, to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of,
any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Seller
also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into a
Transaction related to any Purchased Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the
right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Assets related to a Transaction. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including
providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. 

Section 10.09 Hypothecation or Pledge of Repurchase Assets. Subject to the applicable Acknowledgment Agreement, Buyer shall have
free and unrestricted use of all Repurchase Assets and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with all or a portion of the Repurchase Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring,
hypothecating, or rehypothecating all or a portion of the Repurchase Assets. 

  
 47 

 Section 10.10 Non-Confidentiality of Tax
Treatment. 
 (a) This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer
or Seller, and shall be held by each party hereto in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent) or Seller, except for
(i) disclosure to Buyer’s or Seller’s direct and indirect Affiliates and wholly owned subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict
confidence, (ii) disclosure to the parties to the Indenture, including noteholders and investors related thereto, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or
(iii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreements, 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 the Pricing Rate, 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 (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent).

 (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws,
including all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Repurchase 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, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent
which Seller 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 implement and maintain appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the GLB Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. 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 promptly following discovery of any material breach or material compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer, the
Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent provided directly to Seller by Buyer or the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent. Seller shall provide such notice to Buyer pursuant to
Section 10.4. 

  
 48 

 Section 10.11 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, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return funds to Seller), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent 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. 

Section 10.12 Intent. 

(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title
11 of the United States Code and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code 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 Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Section 555 and
Section 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code. 
 (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 (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules,
orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 

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

(e) This Agreement is intended to be a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 under the Bankruptcy Code, and
a “master netting agreement,” within the meaning of Section 561 under the Bankruptcy Code. 
 Section 10.13 Third
Party Beneficiaries. (a) The Administrative Agent, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. 

  
 49 

 Section 10.14 Owner Trustee Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood
and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by WSFS, not individually or personally but solely as trustee of Buyer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of
the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of Buyer is made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements by WSFS but is made and intended for the purpose of binding
only Buyer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived
by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) WSFS has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement and
(e) under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of Buyer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by Buyer under
this Agreement or any other related documents. 
 Section 10.15 Actions and Discretion of Buyer. Any provision providing for the
exercise of any action or discretion by Buyer shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of either 100% of the VFN Noteholders or the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes. To the extent there are conflicting
directions between 100% of the VFN Noteholders and the Majority Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee will take its direction from 100% of the VFN Noteholders. In addition, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any
approvals, consents, votes or other rights exercisable by Buyer under this Agreement shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders.

of Buyer, there is no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Participation Agreement and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both and the expiration of any grace or
cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of termination thereunder, and Seller has not waived any such default, breach, violation or event of termination.

accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws or by general principles of equity. Seller had legal capacity to enter into the Participation Agreement, and the Participation Agreement

 The Indenture Trustee acknowledges the Grant of such Security Interest, and agrees to perform the duties herein in accordance with the
terms hereof. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Base Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, the security

filed in respect hereof: 
 (1)     The property subject to the security interest reflected in this
instrument includes all of the right, title and interest of CHL GMSR Issuer Trust, as debtor (the “Debtor”), in certain mortgages and/or participation interests related to such mortgages (“Pooled
Mortgages”), and pooled under the mortgage-backed securities program of the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), pursuant to section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. §
1721(g); 
 (2)     To the extent that the security interest reflected in this instrument relates in any
way to the Pooled Mortgages, such security interest is subject and subordinate to all rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under and in connection with: (i) 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g) and any
implementing regulations; (ii) the terms and conditions of that certain Acknowledgment Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2018, with respect to the Security Interest, by and among Ginnie Mae, Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (the “Ginnie
Mae Issuer”), and Citibank, N.A. (the “Indenture Trustee”); (iii) applicable guaranty agreements and contractual agreements between Ginnie Mae and the Ginnie Mae Issuer; and

Debtor in the Pooled Mortgages, in which event the security interest as it relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages shall instantly and automatically be extinguished as well; and 

(4)    For purposes of clarification, “subject and subordinate” in clause (2) above means,
among other things, that any cash held by the Indenture Trustee as collateral and any cash proceeds received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the
collateral may only be applied by the Indenture Trustee to the extent that such proceeds have been received by, or for the account of, the Debtor free and clear of all Ginnie Mae rights and other restrictions on transfer under applicable Ginnie Mae
guidelines; provided that this clause (4) shall not be interpreted as establishing rights in favor of Ginnie Mae except to the extent that such rights are reflected in, or arise under, the Ginnie Mae Contract. 

The Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, and its assignees, successors and designees
to file one or more UCC financing statements, financing statement amendments and continuation statements to perfect the security interest granted above. In addition, the Issuer hereby consents to the filing of a financing statement describing the
Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the Debtor, now owned or hereafter acquired,” or such similar language as the Administrator, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, and its assignees, successors and designees may deem appropriate.

 Subject to the interests and rights of Ginnie Mae as set forth in this Base Indenture and in the Acknowledgment Agreement, the parties
hereto intend that the Security Interest Granted under this Base Indenture shall give the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the Collateral, and all other property

under the UCC.

with respect to a VFN that is subject to a repurchase agreement, the party that is the Repo Seller. 
 VFN Noteholder: The Noteholder
of a VFN. 
 VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request: As defined in Section 4.3(b)(i). 

VFN Principal Balance: On any date, for any VFN or for any Series or Class of VFNs, as the context requires, the Note Balance

date, which amount shall not exceed the Maximum VFN Principal Balance.

(or the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer) identifies to the Indenture Trustee in writing to be treated as “Available Funds” as of such Payment Date; and

voting power evidenced by the Notes, and each Outstanding Note’s Voting Interest within its Series equals the percentage equivalent of the fraction obtained by dividing that Note’s Note Balance by the aggregate Note Balance of all
Outstanding Notes within such Series; provided, however, that where the Voting Interests are relevant in determining whether the vote of the requisite percentage of Noteholders necessary to effect any consent, waiver, request or demand
shall have been obtained, the Voting Interests shall be deemed to be reduced by the amount equal to the Voting Interests (without giving effect to this provision) represented by the interests evidenced by any Note registered in the name of, or in
the name of a Person or entity holding for the benefit of, the Issuer, Caliber or any Person that is an Affiliate of any of the Issuer or Caliber (except with respect to the Series 2018-VF1 Notes which have

The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for counting a Voting Interest of any Person that is not permitted to be so counted hereunder pursuant to the definition of
“Outstanding” unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge that such Person is the Issuer or Caliber or an Affiliate of either or both of the Issuer and Caliber (except with respect to the Series 2018-VF1 Notes which have been sold by Caliber to CSCIB under the Series 2018-VF1 Repurchase Agreement).

specific Series) that require a certain percentage of Voting Interests of all Series or any specified Series of Notes, such as the Series Required Noteholders of Series of Notes that are Variable Funding Notes or the Series Required Noteholders of

 40 

 
percentage of Voting Interests of each Outstanding Series and, in the event any one specified Series fails to provide the required percentage of Voting Interests with respect to any such action,
consent or vote, then such action, consent or vote shall be deemed by the parties hereto and the Noteholders to be not approved. 

Weighted Average Advance Rate: On any date of determination, with respect to all Outstanding Series of VFNs, a percentage equal to the
weighted average of the Advance Rates for each Series of VFNs then Outstanding (weighted based on the VFN Series Invested Amount of each Series of VFNs on such date). With respect to a specific Series of VFNs, the “Weighted Average Advance
Rate” shall equal the Advance Rate with respect to the Class within such Series of VFNs with the highest Advance Rate. 

WSFS: Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB and any successor or assign thereto.

	Section 1.4.	 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. 

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, one or more specified Persons, one such Person
may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to the other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

  
 42 

 Any certificate or opinion of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless the Issuer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion
of, or representation by, counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of
the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations are erroneous. 

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Base Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
  

	Section 1.5.	 Acts of Noteholders. 

(a)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action (each, an
“Action”) provided by this Base Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders of any Class may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person
or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such Action will become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the Action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments and so
voting at any meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, will be sufficient for any purpose of this Base Indenture and (subject to
Section 11.1) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.5. 

(b)    The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit
of a witness to such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit will also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of
the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Indenture Trustee deems sufficient. 

(c)    The ownership of Notes will be proved by the Note Register. 

(d)    Any Action by a Noteholder will bind all subsequent Noteholders of such Noteholder’s Note, in respect of
anything done or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon whether or not notation of such Action is made upon such Note. 

(e)    Without limiting the foregoing, a Noteholder entitled hereunder to take any Action hereunder with regard to any
particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of 

  
 43 

 
the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice
given or Action taken by a Noteholder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Noteholders of each such different part. 

(f)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless otherwise specified pursuant to one or more Indenture
Supplements, a Noteholder, including a Depository that is the Noteholder of a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any Action provided in this Base Indenture to be made,
given or taken by a Noteholder, and a Depository that is the Noteholder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in or security entitlements to any such Global Note through such Depository’s
standing instructions and customary practices. 
 (g)    The Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of determining
the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in or security entitlements to any Global Note held by a Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any
Action provided in this Base Indenture to be made, given or taken by Noteholders. If such a record date is fixed, the Noteholders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or
take such Action, whether or not such Noteholders remain Noteholders after such record date. No such Action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than ninety (90) days after such record date. 

 

	Section 1.6.	 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, Administrator, the Administrative Agent and Note
Rating Agencies. 

 (a)    Any Action of Noteholders or other document provided or permitted by
this Base Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing (which shall include electronic transmission) and
personally delivered, express couriered, electronically transmitted or mailed by registered or certified mail to the Indenture Trustee (or the bank serving as Indenture Trustee in any of its capacities) at its Corporate Trust Office, or the Issuer
or the Administrator by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except with respect to notices to the Indenture Trustee of an Event of Default as provided in Section 8.1) if in
writing (which shall include electronic transmission) and personally delivered, express couriered, electronically transmitted or mailed by registered or certified mail, addressed to it at (i) Citibank, N.A., Corporate and Investment Banking,

Issuer, (iv) Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010, email: dominic.obaditch@credit-suisse.com, in the case of the Administrative Agent, and (v) Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, 375 N.
French Rd., Suite 100, Amherst, New York 14228, Attention: CHL GMSR Issuer Trust, email: notices@pentalphasurveillance.com, in the case of the Credit Manager, or, in any case at any other address previously furnished in writing by any such party to
the other parties hereto. 
 (b)    Where this Base Indenture provides for notice to or consent from any Note Rating
Agency, such notice or consent will only be required to the extent that any Outstanding Class is then currently being rated at the request of Caliber, and as specified in the related Indenture Supplement, and if no Outstanding Class is
being so rated, including in the event ratings unsolicited by Caliber are being issued, such notice or consent provisions shall be of no force or effect. In the event that an Indenture Supplement provides that one or more Classes obtain a rating,
any notice shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except with respect to notices to the Indenture Trustee of an Event of Default as provided in Section 3.3 or Section 8.1) if in writing (which shall
include electronic transmission) and personally delivered, express couriered, electronically transmitted or mailed by registered or certified mail, addressed to it at the address set forth in the related Indenture Supplement. Failure to give such
notice will not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder and will not under any circumstance constitute an Adverse Effect. 
  

	Section 1.7.	 Notices to Noteholders; Waiver. 

(a)    Where this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Note provides for notice to registered Noteholders of any
event, such notice will be sufficiently given (unless expressly provided otherwise herein, in such Indenture Supplement or in such Note) if in writing and mailed by overnight courier, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or personally
delivered to each Noteholder of a Note affected by such event, at such Noteholder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In
any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail, facsimile, electronic transmission or delivery, none of the failure to mail, send by facsimile, send by electronic transmission or deliver such notice, or any defect in any notice so mailed, to
any particular Noteholders will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders and any notice that is mailed, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic transmission or delivered in the manner herein provided shall conclusively
have been presumed to have been duly given. 
 Where this Base Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or any Note provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver will be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders will be filed with the Indenture
Trustee, but such filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

(b)    In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise,
it will be impractical to mail notice of any event to any Noteholder of a Note when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Base Indenture, then any method of notification as will be satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee and the Issuer will be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 

  
 45 

 (c)    The Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and
Securities Intermediary each agree to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Base Indenture or any document executed in connection herewith sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured
electronic methods; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate (attached hereto as Exhibits C1-C5) listing such person as a person designated to provide such instructions or
directions, which incumbency certificate may be amended whenever a person is added or deleted from the listing. If such person elects to give the Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary email or facsimile
instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Indenture Trustee’s, Calculation
Agent’s, Paying Agent’s and Securities Intermediary’s reasonable understanding of such instructions, as applicable, shall be deemed controlling. 

(d)    None of the Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary shall be liable for any
losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Indenture Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflicting with or being inconsistent with a prior written instruction
except as a result of their respective willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. Any Person providing such instructions or directions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and
directions to the Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary, including the risk of Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk
of interception and misuse by third parties and acknowledges and agrees that there may be more secure methods of transmitting such instructions than the method(s) selected by it and agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in
connection with its transmission of such instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances. 
  

	Section 1.8.	 Administrative Agent. 

(a)    Discretion of Administrative Agent. Any provision providing for the exercise of discretion of the
Administrative Agent means that such discretion may be executed in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent. In addition, as further provided in the definition of “Administrative Agent” herein and notwithstanding any other
provision in this Base Indenture to the contrary, any approvals, consents, votes or other rights exercisable by the Administrative Agent under this Base Indenture (other than any Indenture Supplement related to a specific Series) shall require the
approval, consent, vote or other exercise of rights of each Person specified by name under the definition of “Administrative Agent” or in its stead its Affiliate or successor as noticed to the Indenture Trustee, unless otherwise specified
in any Indenture Supplement related to a specific Series. 
 (b)    Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Base Indenture, a related Indenture Supplement or in the other Transaction Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Base Indenture or any
Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Noteholder. Nothing in this Base Indenture or any of the Transaction Documents, express or 

  
 46 

 
implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Base Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents except as
expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Noteholder shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Issuer in connection with the purchase of any Note and shall make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of the Issuer and the value of the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Noteholder with any credit or other information with respect
thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date, as applicable, or at any time or times thereafter. 

(c)    Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents or employees shall
not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Base Indenture or the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with
legal counsel (including counsel to the Administrative Agent or counsel to the Issuer), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Noteholder and shall not be responsible to any Noteholder for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection
with this Base Indenture or the other Transaction Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Base Indenture or the other
Transaction Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including the books and records) of any Person; (iv) shall not be
responsible to any Noteholder for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Base Indenture or the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or
thereto; and (v) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Indenture Trustee’s Adverse Claim thereon, or
any certificate prepared by the Issuer in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Noteholders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing and
notwithstanding any understanding to the contrary, no Noteholder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Base Indenture, the Notes
or any of the other Transaction Documents in its own interests as a Noteholder or otherwise. 
 (d)    Reliance.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by
the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Base Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

 Article II 

The Trust Estate 
  

	Section 2.1.	 Contents of Trust Estate. 

(a)    Grant of Trust Estate. The Issuer has Granted the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture
Trustee has accepted this Grant, pursuant to the Granting Clause. 
 (b)    Addition and Removal of Participation
Certificates, Mortgage Loans and Excluded Collateral. 
 (i)    Addition of Participation
Certificates and Mortgage Loans.  
 (A)    Caliber may at any time designate any
Participation Certificates as additional Participation Certificates to be sold to the Issuer under the PC Repurchase Agreement, whereupon such Participation Certificate shall be added to the Collateral for purposes of this Base Indenture if
(1) the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has approved such Participation Certificate for addition and (2) written notice of such addition has been provided to the Note Rating Agencies for the Outstanding Notes. Prior to the
addition of any Participation Certificates, as provided in this Section 2.1(b), the Administrator must certify to the Indenture Trustee in writing that it has filed all financing statements or amendments to financing statements
to ensure that the Indenture Trustee’s Security Interest in any additional Designated PC, and, if applicable, in the related MSRs and Advance Reimbursement Amounts, is perfected and of first priority.

Part II of the Asset Schedule is required under the PC Repurchase Agreement, Caliber shall provide such updated schedule to the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of such removal, and any new schedule
of the Mortgage Pools shall automatically become the new updated schedule thereof.

execution and delivery of this Base Indenture, the following documents relating to each Participation Certificate: 

(i)    each original Participation Certificate; 

(ii)    a copy of each Determination Date Report in electronic form listing each Participation Certificate
Granted to the Trust Estate and any other information required in any related Indenture Supplement; 

(iii)    a copy of each Funding Certification delivered by the Administrator, which shall be maintained in
electronic format; 
 (iv)    the current Participation Certificate Schedule; and 

(v)    any other documentation provided for in any Indenture Supplement; 

provided that the Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility to ensure the validity or sufficiency of the Participation
Certificates. 
 (b)    Administrator as Custodian. To reduce administrative costs, the Administrator will act as
custodian for the benefit of the Noteholders of the following documents relating to each Participation Certificate: 

(i)    a copy of the related Participation Certificate and each amendment and modification thereto; 

(ii)    any documents other than those identified in Section 2.2(a) received from or made
available by the Servicer, securities administrator or other similar party in respect of such Participation Certificate; and 

(iii)    any and all other documents that the Issuer or Caliber, as the case may be, shall keep on file, in
accordance with its customary procedures, relating to such Participation Certificate. 
 (c)    Delivery of Updated
Participation Certificate Schedule and Eligible Securities Schedule. 
 (i)    The
Administrator shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an updated Participation Certificate Schedule prior to the addition or deletion of any Participation Certificate as Collateral or modification and the Indenture Trustee shall hold the most
recently delivered version as the definitive Participation Certificate Schedule. The Administrator represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and as of the date any new Participation Certificate is added as Collateral, that the Participation
Certificate Schedule, as it may be updated by the Administrator from time to time and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, is a true, complete and accurate list of all Participation Certificates. 

  
 52 

 (ii)    The Administrator shall deliver to the Indenture

 (d)    Marking of
Records. The Administrator shall ensure that, from and after the time of the sale and/or contribution of the Participation Certificates to the Issuer under the PC Repurchase Agreement and the Grant thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Base Indenture, any records (including any computer records and back-up archives) maintained by or on behalf of the Servicer that refer to any Participation Certificate indicate clearly the interest of
the Issuer and the Security Interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Participation Certificate and that such Participation Certificate is owned by the Issuer and subject to the Indenture Trustee’s Security Interest. Indication of the
Issuer’s ownership of a Participation Certificate and the Security Interest of the Indenture Trustee shall be deleted from or modified on such records when, and only when, such Participation Certificate has been paid in full, repurchased, or
assigned by the Issuer and released by the Indenture Trustee from its Security Interest. 
 (e)    Separateness.
Caliber, as Repo Seller, the Issuer and the Administrative Agent each confirm, and each Noteholder is deemed to confirm, that it is treating Citibank, in its capacity as a Custodian, as holding each original Participation Certificate as a
“custodian” on behalf of the Issuer as a “customer” in connection with a “securities contract” (as each such term is used in Section 101(22) of the Bankruptcy Code), and each such Person confirms (or is deemed to
confirm, in the case of the Noteholders) that in such capacity Citibank is serving as a “financial institution” (as defined in Section 101(22) of the Bankruptcy Code). Citibank confirms that it is a “commercial bank” (as
such term is used in such Section 101(22) and acknowledges such treatment by such Persons.

benefit of all present and future Noteholders, and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to each Asset File as shall enable the Calculation Agent and the Indenture Trustee to comply with this Base
Indenture. Each Custodian shall promptly report to the Issuer any failure on its part to hold the Asset Files and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.
The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any actions or omissions of the Administrator in its capacity as Custodian or otherwise. 

(b)    Maintenance of and Access to Records. Each Custodian shall maintain each portion of the Asset File that it
is required to maintain under this Base Indenture at its offices at

Texas 75019 (in the case of the Servicer) as the case may be, or at such other office as shall be specified to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer by thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. The Administrator shall take all actions
necessary, or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes or the Indenture Trustee, to amend any existing financing statements and continuation statements, and file additional financing
statements to further perfect or evidence the rights, claims or security interests of the Indenture Trustee under any of the Transaction Documents (including the rights, claims or security interests of the Issuer under the PC Repurchase Agreement
which have been assigned to the Indenture Trustee). The Indenture Trustee and the Administrator, in their capacities as Custodian(s), shall make available to the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Administrative Agent, any group of Interested
Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee (in the case of the Administrator) or their duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the portion of the Asset Files that it is required to maintain under this Base Indenture and the accounts, books
and records maintained by the Indenture Trustee or the Administrator with respect thereto as promptly as reasonably practicable following not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice for examination during normal business

 Neither a Custodian nor
any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted to be taken by it (or any of its directors, officers of employees), or for any mistake of fact or law, or
for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless such action constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Custodian. Knowledge or information acquired by Citibank in its capacity as Custodian
hereunder shall not be imputed to Citibank in any other capacity in which it may act hereunder or to any affiliate of Citibank and vice versa. The Custodian shall be deemed to have the same rights, immunities and protections as the Indenture Trustee
hereunder, except that the Custodian shall not be subject to a prudent person standard under any circumstances. 
  

	Section 2.4.	 Application of Trust Money. 

All money deposited with the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be held in trust and applied by
the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Base Indenture, to the payment to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses (or payments

Section 3.4 to the contrary, the Examining Parties may not conduct an Examination pursuant to the exercise of any right under this Section 3.4 more than one (1) time during any twelve
(12) month period at the expense of the Administrator, except that, if an Event of Default has occurred, is continuing and has not been waived in accordance with the terms hereof during such twelve (12) month period, more than one

costs and expenses actually incurred by the Indenture Trustee related to such audit, which shall be borne by the Administrator). Prior to payment of the costs of any Examination, Caliber shall be provided with commercially reasonable documentation
of such costs and expenses. 
 Any such Person seeking access to any information or documentation pursuant to this
Section 3.4 has agreed with the Servicer to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential

  
 64 

 
treatment are unavailing) and shall upon request execute and deliver a separate confidentiality agreement memorializing such provisions; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may disclose
on a confidential basis any such information to its agents, attorneys and auditors in connection with the performance of its responsibilities hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Person seeking access to any information
or documentation pursuant to this Section 3.4, shall not disclose information to any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents that may provide any financing to Caliber, the

to do so by a group of Interested Noteholders, and the Indenture Trustee has been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it by such Interested Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability for action or inaction in accordance with the
preceding sentence. 
  

	Section 3.5.	 Indenture Trustee to Make Reports Available. 

(a)    Monthly Reports on Indenture Trustee’s Website. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Base
Indenture that requires Citibank, in any capacity, to deliver or provide to any Person the Payment Date Report (and, at its option, any additional files containing the same information in an alternative format), Citibank, in any capacity, shall be
entitled, in lieu of such delivery, to make such report available each month to any interested parties, including Ginnie Mae, via the Indenture Trustee’s internet website and such other information as the Indenture Trustee may have in its

at 1-888-855-9695. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them
via first class mail or by overnight courier by calling the investor relations desk and requesting a copy. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to change the way the Payment Date Reports are distributed in order to make such distribution more
convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Indenture Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties regarding any such changes. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to make available via its
website any information that in its judgment is confidential, may include any Nonpublic Personal Information or could otherwise violate applicable law, or could result in personal liability to the Indenture Trustee. In addition, the Indenture
Trustee shall have no liability for the failure to include or post any information that it has not actually received or is not in a form or format that will allow it to post any such information on its website. 

(b)    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, including Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, the
Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent and any other party hereto shall only deliver the information set forth in Section 3.1(a) to any Noteholder of any Series of Term Notes prior to the occurrence, or following the cure or waiver, of an

other amounts on such Person’s Notes, aggregated for such year or the applicable portion thereof during which such person was a Noteholder and (ii) such other customary information as may be deemed necessary or desirable for Noteholders to

shall prepare and provide to the Internal Revenue Service and to each Noteholder any information reports required to be provided under federal income tax law, including IRS Form 1099. 

Article IV 
 The Trust
Accounts; Payments 
  

	Section 4.1.	 Trust Accounts. 

The Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, (i) the Trust Accounts (other than the
Expense Reserve Account which is for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the MSR Valuation Agent), each of which shall be an Eligible Account, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (ii) an Expense Reserve Account, which shall be an
Eligible Account, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the MSR Valuation Agent and (iii) a Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account, which shall be an Eligible Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Credit
Manager. All amounts held in the Trust Accounts and the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account shall, to the extent permitted by this Base Indenture and applicable laws, rules and regulations, be invested in Permitted Investments by the depository
institution or trust company then maintaining such Trust Account or the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account only upon written direction of the Administrator to the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that in the event the
Administrator fails to provide such written direction to the Indenture Trustee, and until the Administrator provides such written direction, the Indenture Trustee shall not invest funds on deposit in any Trust Account or the Credit Manager Expense
Reserve Account. Funds deposited into a Trust Account or the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account, as applicable, on a Business Day after 1:30 p.m. New York City time will not be invested until the following Business Day. Investments held in
Permitted Investments in the Trust Accounts or the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account, as applicable, shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity (unless an Event of Default has occurred). Earnings on investment of funds in any
Trust Account or the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account, as applicable, shall be remitted by the Indenture Trustee upon the Administrator’s request to the account or other location of the Administrator’s designation on the first (1st) Business Day of the month following the month in which such earnings on investment of funds is received. The taxpayer identification number associated with each of the Trust Accounts or the Credit
Manager Expense Reserve Account, as applicable, shall be that of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall report for federal, state and local income tax purposes 

  
 66 

 
the portion of the income, if any, earned on funds in each relevant Trust Account or the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account, as applicable. The Administrator hereby acknowledges that all
amounts on deposit in each Trust Account (excluding investment earnings on deposit in the Trust Accounts) are held in trust by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to any express rights of the Issuer set forth
herein, and shall remain at all times during the term of this Base Indenture under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee. The Administrator hereby acknowledges that all amounts on deposit in the Credit Manager Expense Reserve
Account (excluding investment earnings on deposit in the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account) are held in trust by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Credit Manager and shall remain at all times during the term of this Base Indenture
under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee. 
 So long as the Indenture Trustee complies with the provisions of this
Section 4.1, the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon by reason of investment performance, liquidation prior to stated maturity or otherwise in any
Trust Account or the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred in any Trust Account or the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account as a result of the liquidation of any
investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure to be provided with timely written investment direction. 
 In order to comply with
the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act
of the United States (“Applicable Law”), the Indenture Trustee is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the
Indenture Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Indenture Trustee upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Indenture
Trustee to comply with Applicable Law. 
 All parties to this Base Indenture agree, and each Noteholder of each Series by its acceptance of
the related Note will be deemed to have agreed, that such Noteholder shall have no claim or interest in the amounts on deposit in any Trust Account created under this Base Indenture or any related Indenture Supplement related to an unrelated Series
except as expressly provided herein or therein. 
 The Indenture Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation
that could be deemed to be for the Indenture Trustee’s economic self-interest for (a) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (b) using
Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (c) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation is not payable or reimbursable under this Base Indenture.

	Section 4.2.	 Collections and Disbursements of Collections by Servicer. 

(a)    Daily Deposits of Portfolio Amounts. The Servicer shall remit all Collections in accordance with the
respective Participation Certificates, Participation Agreements and the PC Repurchase Agreement. Any amounts that shall be remitted to the Issuer shall be remitted directly to the Collection and Funding Account (but only to the extent that such
funds are payable to Seller free and clear of Ginnie Mae’s rights or other restrictions on transfer under applicable Ginnie Mae guidelines). 

(b)    Payment Dates. On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall transfer from the Collection and Funding
Account to the Note Payment Account all funds then on deposit therein. Except in the case of Redemption Amounts, which may be remitted by the Issuer directly to the Note Payment Account, none of the Servicer, the Administrator, the Issuer, the
Calculation Agent nor the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Note Payment Account, and each shall take all reasonable actions to prevent other Persons from remitting to the Note Payment Account, amounts which do not constitute payments,
collections or recoveries received, made or realized in respect of the Participation Certificates or the other Collateral or the initial cash, if any, deposited by the Noteholders with the Indenture Trustee on the date hereof, and the Indenture
Trustee will return to the Issuer or the Servicer any such amounts upon receiving written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee that such amounts are not a part of the Trust Estate. 

(c)    Delegated Authority to Make MBS Advances. The Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints the Noteholder(s) of any
[***] with the authority (but no obligation) to make any MBS Advance on the Servicer’s behalf to the extent the Servicer fails to make any required payments on the related MBS when required to do so pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Contract. Any
payment of MBS Advances by Noteholders of [***] shall constitute a draw on such VFN and shall increase its VFN Principal Balance by the amount of such draw. 
  

	Section 4.3.	 Fundings. 

(a)    Funding Certifications. By no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to each
Funding Date (or such other time as may be agreed to from time to time by the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent), the Administrator shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent
and the Administrative Agent (and, on any Interim Payment Date, each applicable VFN Noteholder) a certification (each, a “Funding Certification”) containing a list of each Funding Condition and presenting a “yes” or
“no” answer beside each indicating whether such Funding Condition has been satisfied and shall state in writing the amount to be funded on that Funding Date. 

(b)    VFN Draws, Discretionary Paydowns and Permanent Reductions. 

With respect to each VFN (other than an MBS Advance VFN): 

(i)    From time to time, the Collateral Value may increase due to (i) the addition of Mortgage Loans
to the Portfolio or (ii) increases in the value of the MSRs that 

  
 68 

 
underlie the Portfolio. By no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to any Payment Date or Interim Payment Date during the Revolving Period for such VFN on which any
applicable Variable Funding Note Class is Outstanding, the Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, may deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Noteholder of such Variable Funding Notes and to the Indenture Trustee a Funding Certification and
a report (a “VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request”) for such upcoming Funding Date, requesting such Noteholders to fund a VFN Principal Balance increase on any Class or Classes of VFNs in the amount(s) specified in such
request, which request shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to recognize an increase in the related VFN Principal Balance, but not in excess of the lesser of (x) the related Maximum VFN Principal Balance or (y) the amount that would cause
a Borrowing Base Deficiency. The VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request shall also state the amount, if any, of any principal payment to be made on each Outstanding Class of VFNs on the upcoming Payment Date or Interim Payment Date. 

(ii)    If the related Funding Certification indicates that all Funding Conditions have been met, and the
Administrative Agent agrees, in its sole discretion, the applicable VFN Funding Sources shall fund the VFN Principal Balance increase by remitting pro rata (based on each such VFN Funding Source’s percentage of the Maximum VFN
Principal Balance) the amount stated in the request to the Indenture Trustee by 12:00 p.m. (noon) New York City time on the related Funding Date, whereupon the Indenture Trustee shall adjust its records to reflect the increase of the VFN
Principal Balance (which increase shall be the aggregate of the amounts received by the Indenture Trustee from the applicable VFN Funding Sources) by the later of (i) 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such Funding Date, or (ii) two hours after
the receipt by the Indenture Trustee of such funds from the VFN Funding Sources, so long as, after such increase, no Borrowing Base Deficiency will exist, determined based on the VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request and Determination Date Report. The
Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request and the related Determination Date Report and Funding Certification. The Indenture Trustee shall make available on a password-protected portion of
its website to the Issuer or its designee and each applicable VFN Funding Source and any related VFN Noteholder, notice on such Funding Date as reasonably requested by the Issuer of any increase in the VFN Principal Balance. The Indenture Trustee
shall apply and remit any such payment by the VFN Funding Sources toward the payment of the related Funding Amounts as described in Section 4.3(c). If on any Funding Date there is more than one Series with Outstanding Variable
Funding Notes, VFN Draws on such Funding Date shall be made on a pro rata basis among all applicable Outstanding Series of VFNs in their Revolving Periods based on their respective available Borrowing Capacities, unless otherwise provided in
the related Indenture Supplement and any applicable Note Purchase Agreement. If any VFN Funding Source does not fund its share of a requested VFN Draw, one or more other VFN Funding Sources may fund all or a portion of such draw, but no other VFN
Funding Source shall have any obligation to do so. Draws on VFNs of different Classes within the same Series need not be drawn pro rata relative to each other. 

  
 69 

 (c)    Payment of Funding Amounts. 

(i)    Subject to its receipt of a duly executed Funding Certification from the Administrator pursuant to
Section 4.3(a) stating that all Funding Conditions have been satisfied, and approval by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Issuer (or the Issuer’s designee), by the close of
business New York City time on each Funding Date, the amount of the aggregate Funding Amount on such Funding Date without causing the related VFN Principal Balance to exceed either (I) the related Maximum VFN Principal Balance or (II) the
amount that would cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency. 
 (ii)    Subject to its receipt of a duly executed
Funding Certification from the Administrator pursuant to Section 4.3(a) indicating that all Funding Conditions have been satisfied, the Indenture Trustee shall remit to the Issuer (or the Issuer’s designee) by the close of
business on each Interim Payment Date or Payment Date occurring at any time when not all Outstanding Notes are in Full Amortization Periods, the amount of the aggregate Funding Amount to be funded on such Interim Payment Date or Payment Date, using
any amounts funded by VFN Funding Sources in respect of such Funding Amount as described in Section 4.3(b). 

(d)    This Section 4.3 does not relate to the MBS Advance VFN. If there is an MBS Advance, the MBS Advance
VFN may be drawn in accordance with the terms of the related Indenture Supplement. 
 (e)    To the extent the Issuance
Date for any Series of Term Notes occurs on a Business Day other than a Payment Date or an Interim Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall pay the proceeds of any such issuance in accordance with the flows of funds provided to the Indenture
Trustee at the joint written direction of the Administrator and the Administrative Agent, with the consent of each VFN Noteholder, so long as the Administrator and the Administrative Agent confirm in such direction (x) that the specified flow
of funds is correct; (y) whether there will be an Additional Note Payment made or deemed to have been made in connection with the issuance of such Series, and after giving effect to such payment, if any, the amount of VFN Principal Balance; and
(z) that after giving effect to the payment of amounts in accordance with the specified flow of funds and the reduction of the VFN Principal Balance, if any, no Borrowing Base Deficiency will exist. No consent or instruction of any Holder of
any Series of Term Notes shall be required in connection with payment amounts in accordance such joint written direction for any Series of Term Notes. 
  

	Section 4.4.	 Interim Payment Dates. 

(a)    On each Interim Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall allocate and pay or deposit (as specified below) all
Available Funds held in the Collection and Funding Account as set forth below, in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Interim Payment Date Report for such Interim Payment Date: 

(i)    pro rata, to (A) to the extent required pursuant to the related Indenture Supplement,

 70 

 
Amount, (B) to the Expense Reserve Account, the amount required to be deposited therein so that, after giving effect to such deposit, the amount on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account
shall be equal to the related Expense Reserve Required Amount and (C) to the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account, the amount required to be deposited therein so that, after giving effect to such deposit, the amount on deposit in the Credit
Manager Expense Reserve Account shall be equal to the related Credit Manager Expense Reserve Required Amount; 

(ii)    to be retained in the Collection and Funding Account, the Required Available Funds; 

(iii)    at the direction of the Administrator, (A) to pay down the VFN Principal Balance of each
Outstanding Class of VFNs pro rata, based on their respective Note Balances, to remove any Borrowing Base Deficiency on an Interim Payment Date that is an Interim Borrowing Base Payment Date and/or such other amount as may be designated
by the Administrator or (B) to reserve cash in the Collection and Funding Account; 
 (iv)    any
Net Excess Cash Amount or Eligible Securities to or at the written direction of Caliber as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate, it being understood that no such Net Excess Cash Amounts or Eligible Securities may be paid to Caliber under this
clause (iv) if, after the payment or distribution of such cash amounts, such payment or distribution would result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency; provided, that amounts due and owing to the Owner Trustee and not previously paid
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be paid prior to such payment; and 
 (b)    To the extent
provided in the related Indenture Supplement, during the Revolving Period, on each Interim Payment Date, the Issuer shall apply any Optional Payment or Margin Call Payment received under the PC Repurchase Agreement to make an Additional Note
Payment. Unless specified otherwise by the Administrator, such Additional Note Payment shall be applied to pay down the VFN Principal Balance of each Outstanding Class of VFNs pro rata, based on their respective Note Balances. 

 

	Section 4.5.	 Payment Dates. 

(a)    On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall transfer all funds on deposit in the Collection and Funding
Account for such Payment Date to the Note Payment Account. On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall apply such Available Funds, VFN Series Available Funds or Term Note Series Available Funds, as applicable, (and other amounts as specifically
noted in clause (a)(1)(iv) below) in the following order of priority and in the amounts set forth in the Payment Date Report for such Payment Date: 

(1)    Prior to commencement of the Full Amortization Period, the Available Funds shall be allocated in the

the Indenture Supplement providing for the issuance of any Series of Notes within which there are one or more Classes of Notes may specify the allocation of payments among such Classes payable pursuant to Section 4.5,
providing for the subordination of such payments on the subordinated Series or Class, and any such provision in such an Indenture Supplement shall have the same effect as if set forth in this Base Indenture and any related Indenture Supplement, all
to the extent an Issuer Tax Opinion is delivered as to such Series at its issuance. 
 (d)    On each Payment Date, the
Indenture Trustee shall make available, in the same manner as described in Section 3.5, a report stating all amounts paid to the Indenture Trustee (in all its capacities) or Citibank (in all its capacities) pursuant to this Section

	Section 4.6.	 Series Reserve Account; Expense Reserve Account; Credit Manager Expense Reserve
Account. 

 (a)    Series Reserve Account. 

(i)    Pursuant to Section 4.1, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain a Series Reserve
Account or Trust Accounts for each Series, each of which shall be an Eligible Account, for the benefit of the Secured Parties of such Series. If any such account loses its status as an Eligible Account, the funds in such account shall be moved to an
account that qualifies as an Eligible Account within thirty (30) days. On or prior to the Issuance Date for each Series, the Issuer shall cause an amount equal to the related Series Reserve Required Amount(s), if applicable, to be deposited
into the related Series Reserve Account(s). Thereafter, on each Payment Date and Interim Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw Available Funds from the Note Payment Account and deposit them into each such Series Reserve Account pursuant
to, and to the extent required by, Section 4.5(a) and the related Indenture Supplement. 

(ii)    On each Payment Date, an amount equal to the aggregate of amounts described in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) of Section 4.5(a)(1) or clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)(A) through (B) of Section 4.5(a)(2) allocable to the related Series, as appropriate, and which
is not payable out of Available Funds or the related VFN Series Available Funds or Term Note Series Available Funds, as applicable, due to an insufficiency of Available Funds or VFN Series Available Funds or Term Note Series Available Funds, as
applicable, shall be withdrawn from such Series Reserve Account by the Indenture Trustee and remitted to 

  
 77 

 
the Note Payment Account for payment in respect of the related Class’ allocable share of such items as described in Section 4.5(a) or the related Indenture Supplement. On any
Payment Date on which amounts are withdrawn from such Series Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.5(a), no funds shall be withdrawn from the Collection and Funding Account (or from the Note Payment Account for deposit into the
Collection and Funding Account) to pay Funding Amounts or amounts to the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.3 if, after giving effect to the withdrawals described in the preceding sentences, the amount then on deposit in such Series Reserve
Account is less than the related Series Reserve Required Amount, if applicable. All Collections received in the Collection and Funding Account shall be deposited into the related Series Reserve Accounts until the amount on deposit in each Series
Reserve Account equals the related Series Reserve Required Amount, if applicable, as described in Section 4.5 and the related Indenture Supplement. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion of any such fees and expenses payable under
Section 4.5(a)(1)(i) or (ii) shall equal the related Series Allocation Percentage of the amounts payable under such clause. 

(iii)    If on any Payment Date the amount on deposit in a Series Reserve Account is equal to or greater
than the aggregate Note Balance for the related Series (after payment on such Payment Date of the amounts described in Section 4.5) the Indenture Trustee will withdraw from such Series Reserve Account the aggregate Note Balance
for such Series and remit it to the Noteholders of the Notes of such Series in reduction of the aggregate Note Balance for all Classes of Notes of such Series that are Outstanding. On the Stated Maturity Date for the latest maturing Class in a
Series, the balance on deposit in the related Series Reserve Account shall be applied as a principal payment on the Notes of that Series to the extent necessary to reduce the aggregate Note Balance for that Series to zero. On any Payment Date after
payment of principal on the Notes and when no Event of Default has occurred, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from each Series Reserve Account the amount by which the balance of the Series Reserve Account exceeds the related Series Reserve
Required Amount, if applicable, and pay such amount to Caliber as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate. 

(iv)    Amounts held in a Series Reserve Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments at the
direction of the Administrator as provided in Section 4.1. 
 (v)    On any Payment Date, after
payment of all amounts pursuant to Section 4.5(a), during the Full Amortization Period, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from each Series Reserve Account the amount by which the amount on deposit in such Series Reserve Account exceeds the
related Series Reserve Required Amount, if applicable, and shall apply such excess to reduce the Note Balances of the Notes of the related Series, pursuant to Section 4.5. Such principal payment shall be made in accordance with
the terms and provisions of the related Indenture Supplement. On any Payment Date following the payment in full of all principal payable in respect of the related Series or Class of Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw any remaining
amounts from the related Series Reserve Account and distribute it to Caliber as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate. Amounts paid to Caliber or its designee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be released from the Security Interest. 

  
 78 

 (vi)    If on any Funding Date, the amount on deposit in
one or more Series Reserve Accounts is less than the related Series Reserve Required Amounts, if applicable, then the Administrator may direct the Indenture Trustee to transfer from the Collection and Funding Account to such Series Reserve Accounts
an amount equal to the amount by which the respective Series Reserve Required Amounts, if applicable, exceed the respective amounts then on deposit in the related Series Reserve Accounts. 

(vii)    Any funds on deposit in any Series Reserve Account are to be applied to make any required payments
in respect of the related Series or Class of Notes only, and no other Series or Class of Notes shall have any interest or claim against such amounts on deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Series or Class of Notes is deemed
to have an interest or claim on the funds on deposit in the Series Reserve Account established for another Series, it shall not receive any amounts on deposit in such Series Reserve Account unless and until the Series or Class of Notes related
to such Series Reserve Account are paid in full and are no longer Outstanding. The provisions of this Section 4.6(a)(vii) constitute a “subordination agreement” for purposes of Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. 
 (b)    Expense Reserve Account. 

(i)    Pursuant to Section 4.1, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain an Expense
Reserve Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the MSR Valuation Agent. If any such account loses its status as an Eligible Account, the funds in such account shall be moved to an account that
qualifies as an Eligible Account within thirty (30) days. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer shall cause an amount equal to the related Expense Reserve Required Amount to be deposited into the Expense Reserve Account. Thereafter, on
each Payment Date and Interim Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw Available Funds from the Note Payment Account and deposit them into the Expense Reserve Account pursuant to, and to the extent required by Section 4.5(a). 

(ii)    On each Payment Date, an amount equal to the aggregate of amounts described in clause
(i) of Section 4.5(a)(2) which is not payable out of VFN Series Available Funds or Term Note Series Available Funds, as applicable, due to an insufficiency of VFN Series Available Funds or Term Note Series Available Funds,
as applicable, shall be withdrawn from the Expense Reserve Account by the Indenture Trustee and remitted to the Note Payment Account for payment in respect of the related Class’ allocable share of such items as described in Section
4.5(a). On any Payment Date on which amounts are withdrawn from the Expense Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.5(a), no funds shall be withdrawn from the Collection and Funding Account (or from the Note Payment Account for deposit into
the Collection and Funding Account) to pay Funding Amounts or amounts to the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.3 if, after giving effect to the withdrawals described in the preceding sentences, the amount then on deposit in the Expense
Reserve Account is less than the Expense Reserve Required Amount. All Collections received in the Collection and Funding Account shall be deposited into the Expense Reserve Account until the amount on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account equals
the Expense Reserve Required Amount, as described in Section 4.5. 

  
 79 

 (iii)    Amounts held in the Expense Reserve Account
shall be invested in Permitted Investments at the direction of the Administrator as provided in Section 4.1. 

(iv)    On any Payment Date, after payment of all amounts pursuant to Section 4.5(a),
during the Full Amortization Period, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Expense Reserve Account the amount by which the amount on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account exceeds the Expense Reserve Required Amount, if applicable, and shall
apply such excess to reduce the Note Balances of the Notes of all Series, pursuant to Section 4.5. Such principal payment shall be made in accordance with the terms and provisions of the related Indenture Supplement. On any
Payment Date following the payment in full of all principal payable in respect of all Series or Classes of Notes and the payment in full of all amounts payable to the Indenture Trustee and the MSR Valuation Agent, the Indenture Trustee shall
withdraw any remaining amounts from the Expense Reserve Account and distribute it to Caliber as holder of the Owner Trust Certificate. Amounts paid to Caliber or its designee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be released from the Security
Interest. 
 (v)    If on any Funding Date, the amount on deposit in the Expense Reserve Accounts is less
than the Expense Reserve Required Amount, if applicable, then the Administrator may direct the Indenture Trustee to transfer from the Collection and Funding Account to the Expense Reserve Account an amount equal to the amount by which the Expense
Reserve Required Amount exceeds the amounts then on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account. 
 (c)    Credit Manager
Expense Reserve Account. 
 (i)    Pursuant to Section 4.1, the Indenture Trustee shall
establish and maintain a Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account, which shall be an Eligible Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Credit Manager for payment of amounts due the Credit Manager on any Payment Date. It is
the intent of the parties that the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account be an account of the Indenture Trustee, and not an account of the Issuer. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Issuer has any rights in the Credit Manager Expense Reserve
Account, the Issuer hereby grants to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Credit Manager, to secure the payment of all amounts owning to the Credit Manager pursuant to this Indenture, a security interest in all of its right, title, and
interest, if any, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under, the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account, all money and other property held therein, and all proceeds thereof. If any such account loses its status as an Eligible
Account, the funds in such account shall be moved to an account that qualifies as an Eligible Account within thirty (30) days. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer shall cause an amount equal to the related Credit Manager Expense Reserve
Required Amount to be deposited into the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account. Thereafter, on each Payment Date and Interim Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw Available Funds from the Note Payment Account and deposit them into the
Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account pursuant to, and to the extent required by Section 4.5(a). 

  
 80 

 (ii)    On each Payment Date, an amount equal to the
aggregate of amounts described in clause (i) of Section 4.5(a)(2) which is not payable out of VFN Series Available Funds or Term Note Series Available Funds, as applicable, due to an insufficiency of VFN Series Available Funds or
Term Note Series Available Funds, as applicable, shall be withdrawn from the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account by the Indenture Trustee and remitted to the Note Payment Account for payment in respect of the related Class’ allocable share
of such items as described in Section 4.5(a). On any Payment Date on which amounts are withdrawn from the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4.5(a), no funds shall be withdrawn from the Collection and Funding
Account (or from the Note Payment Account for deposit into the Collection and Funding Account) to pay Funding Amounts or amounts to the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.3 if, after giving effect to the withdrawals described in the preceding
sentences, the amount then on deposit in the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account is less than the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Required Amount. All Collections received in the Collection and Funding Account shall be deposited into the Credit
Manager Expense Reserve Account until the amount on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account equals the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Required Amount, as described in Section 4.5. 

(iii)    Amounts held in the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account shall be invested in Permitted
Investments at the direction of the Administrator as provided in Section 4.1. 

(iv)    Subject to Section 4.6(c)(v), on any Payment Date following the payment
in full of all principal payable in respect of all Series or Classes of Notes and the payment in full of all amounts payable to the Credit Manager, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw any remaining amounts from the Credit Manager Expense Reserve
Account and distribute and allocate them to the Issuer in accordance with the terms hereof. Amounts paid to the Issuer or its designee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be released from the Security Interest. 

(v)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of the occurrence of any action by
Ginnie Mae pursuant to Section 8 of the Acknowledgment Agreement to terminate and extinguish any rights of Caliber as servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall continue to maintain the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account for the benefit of the
Credit Manager for three (3) years following payment in full of all Outstanding Notes, to the extent this Base Indenture has not been satisfied and discharged; provided, that if amounts have been withdrawn from the Credit Manager Expense
Reserve Account during such three (3) year-period, or the Credit Manager shall have received written notice of a claim arising in connection with its performance or obligations under this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, then
the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account shall continue to be maintained for five (5) years following payment in full of all Outstanding Notes, to the extent this Base Indenture has not been satisfied and discharged. 

  
 81 

 (vi)    If on any Funding Date, the amount on deposit in
the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Accounts is less than the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Required Amount, if applicable, then the Administrator may direct the Indenture Trustee to transfer from the Collection and Funding Account to the Credit
Manager Expense Reserve Account an amount equal to the amount by which the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Required Amount exceeds the amounts then on deposit in the Credit Manager Expense Reserve Account. 

 

	Section 4.7.	 Collection and Funding Account; Eligible Securities Account. 

Pursuant to Section 4.1, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain the Collection and Funding Account and the
Eligible Securities Account, each of which shall be an Eligible Account, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. If any such account loses its status as an Eligible Account, the funds or securities, as applicable, in such account shall be moved to
an account that qualifies as an Eligible Account within thirty (30) days. The Indenture Trustee shall deposit and withdraw Available Funds from the Collection and Funding Account pursuant to, and to the extent required by Section

any of such Persons. 
 (iii)    If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive an Entitlement
Order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Issuer or the Administrator
or any other Person. If at any time the Indenture Trustee notifies the Securities Intermediary in writing that this Base Indenture has been discharged in accordance herewith, then thereafter if the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order
from the Issuer directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such Entitlement Order without further consent by the Indenture Trustee or any other Person. 

(iv)    In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation
of law or otherwise a security interest in any Trust Account or any Financial Asset or Security Entitlement credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the
Indenture Trustee. The Financial Assets and Security Entitlements credited to the Trust Accounts will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person other
than (i) the Indenture Trustee in the case of the Trust Accounts and (ii) the Owner Trustee Lien. 

(v)    There are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary in such capacity, and
the Securities Intermediary agrees that it will not enter into any agreement with, the Issuer, the Administrator, or any other Person (other than the Indenture Trustee) with respect to any Trust Account. In the event of any conflict between this
Base Indenture (or any provision of this Base Indenture) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Base Indenture shall prevail. 

(vi)    The rights and powers granted herein to the Indenture Trustee have been granted in order to perfect
its interest in the Trust Accounts and the Security Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an interest and will not be affected by the bankruptcy of the Issuer, the Administrator or Caliber nor by the
lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect until the interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust Accounts and in such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this
Base Indenture and the Indenture Trustee has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing. 

  
 84 

 (b)    Definitions; Choice of Law. Capitalized terms used in this
Section 4.9 and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the New York UCC. For purposes of Section 8-110(e) of the New York UCC, the “securities intermediary’s
jurisdiction” shall be the State of New York. The Securities Intermediary, the Administrator and the Issuer agree that they will not change the applicable law in force with respect to issues referred to in Article 2(1) of the Hague Securities
Convention to a state other than the State of New York. 
 (c)    Limitation on Liability. None of the Securities
Intermediary or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary shall be under any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to this Base Indenture, or
for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Securities Intermediary against any liability to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders which would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Securities
Intermediary’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder. The Securities Intermediary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Securities Intermediary may rely in good faith
on any document of any kind which, on its face, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Securities Intermediary shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or
content of such document. 
 (d)    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Securities Intermediary. The
Securities Intermediary represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the Securities Intermediary has a physical office in the United States and is engaged in a business or other regular activity of maintaining securities accounts. The
Securities Intermediary agrees that, at all times while this Indenture is in effect, it shall maintain a physical office in the United States that satisfies the criteria set forth in Article 4(1)(a) or (b) of the Hague Securities Convention.

  

	Section 4.10.	 Notice of Adverse Claims. 

Except for the claims and interests of the Secured Parties in the Trust Accounts, the Securities Intermediary has no actual knowledge of any
claim to, or interest in, any Trust Account or in any financial asset credited thereto. If any Person asserts any Adverse Claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Trust
Account or in any financial asset carried therein of which a Responsible Officer of the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer thereof.

  

	Section 4.11.	 No Gross Up. 

No Person, including the Issuer, shall be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Noteholders or Note Owners as a result of any
withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges.

Event Period and Full Amortization Period.

Upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Event, the Revolving Period for all Classes and Series of the Notes shall automatically terminate

Termination Event and consent to the continuation of the Revolving Period for each Outstanding Series that is still in its Revolving Period or (ii) they acknowledge that the Early Termination Event has been cured and consent to the continuation
of the Revolving Period for each Outstanding Series that is still in its Revolving Period. 
 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the Revolving Period for all Classes and Series of the Notes shall automatically terminate and the Full Amortization Period for all Outstanding Notes shall commence without further action on the part of any Person, unless, together, the Majority
Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes that are not Variable Funding Notes and the Majority Noteholders for each Series of Variable Funding Notes that are Outstanding, plus the Administrative Agent, notify the Indenture Trustee, Ginnie Mae and the
Credit Manager that either (i) they have waived the occurrence of such Event of Default and consent to the continuation of the Revolving Period for each Outstanding Series that is still in its Revolving Period or (ii) they acknowledge that

 86 

 The obligation of the Issuer to pay or reserve any Default Supplemental Fee, Step-Up Fee, Cumulative Interest Shortfall Amount, Cumulative Default Supplemental Fee Shortfall Amount or Cumulative Step-Up Fee Shortfall Amount shall begin only upon the

acceptance to be evidenced by the Indenture Trustee’s authentication of Notes in that form of a Certificate of Authentication signed by an Indenture Trustee Authorized Officer and delivered to the Issuer. 

(c)    (i)     Rule 144A Notes. Notes sold by the Issuer (other than Regulation S Notes)

	Section 5.3.	 Reserved. 

 

	Section 5.4.	 Book-Entry Notes. 

(a)    Issuance of Book-Entry Notes. If the Issuer establishes pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 6.1
that the Notes of a particular Series or Class are to be issued as Book-Entry Notes, then the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent will, in accordance with Section 6.3 and with the Issuer Certificate
delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its agent under Section 6.3, authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Global Notes, which, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement (1) will represent,
and will be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate, Initial Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes of such Series or Class to be represented by such Global Note or Notes, or such portion thereof as the Issuer will specify in an Issuer
Certificate, (2) will be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Note or Notes or its nominee, (3) will be delivered by the Indenture Trustee or its agent to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository’s instruction
(and which may be held by the Indenture Trustee as custodian for the Depository, if so specified in the related Indenture Supplement or Depository Agreement), (4) if applicable, will bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless
this Note is presented by an authorized representative of DTC, to the Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any Note issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested
by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any
person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein” and (5) may bear such other legend as the Issuer, upon advice of counsel, deems to be applicable. 

  
 88 

 (b)    The Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the
Depository as the sole Noteholder of the Book-Entry Notes for all purposes of this Indenture and will not be obligated to the Note Owners, except as stated in Section 14.11. 

(c)    The rights of the Note owners may be exercised only through the Depository and will be limited to those established
by law and agreements between the Note Owners and the Depository and/or its participants under the Depository Agreement. 

(d)    If this Section 5.4(a) conflicts with other terms of this Indenture, this
Section 5.4(a) will control. 
 (e)    The Depository will make book-entry transfers among its
participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes to the participants. 

(f)    The Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any
actions taken or not taken by the Depository. 
 (g)    If this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based
on instructions or directions of the Noteholders of a stated percentage of Note Balance of the Notes, the Depository will be deemed to represent those Noteholders only if it has received instructions to that effect form Note Owners and/or the
Depository’s participants owning or representing, the required percentage of the beneficial interest of the Notes and has delivered the instructions to the Indenture Trustee. 

(h)    The Issuer in issuing Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Indenture
Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will
promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 (i)    Transfers
of Global Notes only to Depository Nominees. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.4 or of Section 6.5, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Note
or the applicable Indenture Supplement expressly permit such Global Note to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Notes, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 6.5, only to a
nominee of the Depository for such Global Note, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Note selected or approved by the Issuer, or to a nominee of such successor Depository. 

(j)    Limited Right to Receive Definitive Notes. Except under the limited circumstances described below, Note
Owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. With respect to Notes issued within the United States, 

  
 89 

 
unless otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, or with respect to Notes issued outside the United States, if specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement: 

(i)    If at any time the Depository for a Global Note notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable
to continue to act as Depository for such Global Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes for such Series or Class ceases to be a Clearing Corporation, the Issuer will appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Note.
If a successor Depository for such Global Note is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent
will, in accordance with Section 6.3 and with the Issuer Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its agent under Section 6.3 requesting the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series or
Class in exchange for such Global Note, will authenticate and deliver, individual Notes of such Series or Class of like tenor and terms in an aggregate Initial Note Balance equal to the Initial Note Balance of the Global Note in exchange
for such Global Note. 
 (ii)    The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the
Notes of any Series or Class or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Notes will no longer be represented by such Global Note or Notes. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent
in accordance with Section 6.3 and with the Issuer Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its agent under Section 6.3 for the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of such Series or Class in
exchange in whole or in part for such Global Note, will authenticate and deliver individual Notes of such Series or Class of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate Initial Note Balance equal to the Initial Note Balance of such
Global Note or Notes representing such Series or Class or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Note or Notes. 

(iii)    If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 6.1 with respect to
Notes issued or issuable in the form of a Global Note, the Depository for such Global Note may surrender such Global Note in exchange in whole or in part for individual Notes of such Series or Class of like tenor and terms in definitive form on
such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depository. Thereupon the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee or its agent will, in accordance with Section 6.3 and with the Issuer Certificate delivered to the Indenture
Trustee or its agent under Section 6.3, authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (A) to each Person specified by such Depository a new Note or Notes of the same Series or Class of like tenor and terms and of
any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate Initial Note Balance equal to the Initial Note Balance of the portion of the Global Note or Notes specified by the Depository and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial
interest in the Global Note; and (B) to such Depository a new Global Note of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the Initial Note Balance of the surrendered Global Note and the
aggregate Initial Note Balance of Notes delivered to the Noteholders thereof. 
 (iv)    If any Event of
Default has occurred with respect to such Global Notes, and Owners of Notes evidencing more than 50% of the Global Notes of that Series or Class (measured by Voting Interests) advise the Indenture Trustee and the Depository that a Global Note is no
longer in the best interest of the Note Owners, the Owners of Global Notes of that Series or Class may exchange their beneficial interests in such Notes for Definitive Notes in accordance with the exchange provisions herein. 

  
 90 

 (v)    In any exchange provided for in any of the
preceding four paragraphs, the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent will, in accordance with Section 6.3 and with the Issuer Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its agent under Section
6.3, authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire Initial Note Balance of a Global Note for Definitive Notes, such Global Note will be canceled
by the Indenture Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraphs, Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Section will be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for
such Global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, will instruct the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar. The Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar will deliver such Notes to the Persons in whose
names such Notes are so registered. 
  

	Section 5.5.	 Beneficial Ownership of Global Notes. 

Until Definitive Notes have been issued to the applicable Noteholders to replace any Global Notes with respect to a Series or
Class pursuant to Section 5.4 or as otherwise specified in any applicable Indenture Supplement: 

(a)    the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee may deal with the applicable clearing agency or Depository and the Depository
Participants for all purposes (including the making of payments) as the authorized representatives of the respective Note Owners; and 

(b)    the rights of the respective Note Owners will be exercised only through the applicable Depository and the
Depository Participants and will be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants. Pursuant to the operating rules of the applicable Depository, unless and until
Definitive Notes are issued pursuant to Section 5.4, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal and interest on the related Notes to such Depository
Participants. 
 For purposes of any provision of this Base Indenture requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the
direction of, Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the Note Balance of Outstanding Notes, such direction or consent may be given by Note Owners (acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning interests in or
security entitlements to Notes evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Notes. 
  

	Section 5.6.	 Notices to Depository. 

Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to Noteholders with respect to which Book-Entry Notes have been issued,
unless and until Definitive Notes will have been issued to the related Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee will give all such notices and communications to the applicable Depository, and shall have no obligation to report directly to such Note
Owners.

	Section 6.2.	 Denominations. 

Except as provided in Section 6.1(b), the Notes of each Series or Class will be issuable in such denominations and

Notes required to be furnished pursuant to Section 5.2 or Section 6.10. 
 (e)    The Indenture Trustee
will not be required to authenticate such Notes if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Indenture Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Notes and this Base Indenture. 

(f)    Unless otherwise provided in the form of Note for any Series or Class, all Notes will be dated the date of their
authentication. 
 (g)    No Note will be entitled to any benefit under this Base Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Indenture Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Note will
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  

	Section 6.4.	 Temporary Notes.

Series or Class upon surrender of the temporary Notes of such Series or Class at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Noteholder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Notes the Issuer will execute and the Indenture Trustee or its agent will, in accordance with Section 6.3 and with the Issuer Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee or its agent under Section 6.3,
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore a like Initial Note Balance of permanent Notes of such Series or Class of authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms. Until so exchanged the temporary Notes of such Series or
Class will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Base Indenture as permanent Notes of such Series or Class. 
  

	Section 6.5.	 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. 

(a)    Note Register. The Indenture Trustee, acting as Note Registrar, shall keep or cause to be kept a register
(herein sometimes referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer will provide for the registration of Notes, or of Notes of a particular Series or Class,
and for transfers of Notes. Any such register will be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers will be
available for inspection by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agents of any of them, may treat a Person in whose name a Note is
registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments in respect of such Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or any agent of any of them, shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. None of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, any agent of the Indenture Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Note Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments
made on account of beneficial ownership of a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership. 

(b)    Exchange of Notes. Subject to Section 5.4, upon surrender for transfer of any Note of
any Series or Class at the Place of Payment, the Issuer may execute, and, upon receipt of the documents required by Section 6.3 and such surrendered Note, together with an Issuer’s Certificate, the Indenture Trustee will
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of such Series or Class of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Initial Note Balance and Stated Maturity Date and of like
terms. Subject to Section 5.4, Notes of any Series or Class may be exchanged for other Notes of such Series or Class of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate Initial Note Balance and Stated Maturity Date
and of like terms, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Place of Payment. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer will execute, and the Indenture Trustee or the related Authenticating Agent will authenticate and
deliver the Notes which the Noteholders making the exchange are entitled to receive. 

  
 95 

 (c)    Issuer Obligations. All Notes issued upon any transfer or
exchange of Notes shall be the valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Base Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

(d)    Endorsement of Notes to be Transferred or Exchanged. Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange will (if so required by the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Note Registrar duly
executed, by the Noteholder thereof or such Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Securities Transfer Agent’s
Medallion Program (“STAMP”). 
 (e)    No Service Charge. Unless otherwise provided in
the Note to be transferred or exchanged, no service charge will be assessed against any Noteholder for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes before the transfer or exchange will be complete, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 5.4 not involving any transfer.

 (f)    Deemed Representations by Transferees of Rule 144A Notes. Each transferee (including the initial
Noteholder or Owner) of a Rule 144A Note or of a beneficial interest therein shall be deemed by accepting such Note or beneficial interest, to have made all the certifications, representations and warranties set forth in the Rule 144A Note Transfer
Certificate attached to Exhibit B-1 attached hereto. 
 (g)    Deemed
Representations by Transferees of Regulation S Notes. Each transferee (including the initial Noteholder or Owner) of a Regulation S Note or of a beneficial therein shall be deemed by accepting such Note or beneficial interest, to have made all
the certifications, representations and warranties set forth in the Regulation S Note Transfer Certificate attached to Exhibit B-2 attached hereto. 

(h)    Conditions to Transfer. No sale, pledge or other transfer (a “Transfer”) of any
Notes shall be made unless that Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws or is made in a transaction that does not require
such registration or qualification. If a Transfer is made without registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance thereof by the Issuer), then the Note Registrar, the Indenture Trustee, Administrator, on behalf of
the Issuer, shall refuse to register such Transfer unless the Note Registrar receives either: 

(i)    the Regulation S Note Transfer Certificate or Rule 144A Note Transfer Certificate and such other
information as may be required pursuant to this Section 6.5; or 

  
 96 

 (ii)    if the Transfer is to be made to an Issuer
Affiliate in a transaction that is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar to the effect that such Transfer may be made without registration under the 1933 Act
(which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Estate or of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar in their respective capacities as such). 

None of the Administrator, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Notes under the
1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Base Indenture to permit the transfer of any Note without registration or qualification. Any Noteholder of a Note desiring to effect such a Transfer shall,
and upon acquisition of such a Note shall be deemed to have agreed to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Administrator, the Servicer and the Issuer against any liability that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is
not made in accordance with the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws. 
 In connection with any Transfer of Notes in reliance on
Rule 144A, the Administrator shall furnish upon request of a Noteholder to such Noteholder and any prospective purchaser designated by such Noteholder the information required to be delivered under paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A. 

In the event that a Note is transferred to a Person that does not meet the requirements of this Section 6.5 and/or the
requirements of the related Indenture Supplement, such transfer will be of no force and effect, will be void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any right to such Person, notwithstanding any instructions to the contrary to the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee or any intermediary; and the Indenture Trustee shall not make any payment on such Note for as long as such Person is the Noteholder of such Note and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to compel such Person to transfer
such Note to a Person who does meet the requirements of this Section 6.5. 
 (i)    Transfers of
Ownership Interests in Global Notes. Transfers of beneficial interests in a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes may be made only in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Depository (and, in the case of a Regulation S Global Note
only to beneficial owners who are not “U.S. persons” (as such term is defined in Regulation S) in accordance with the rules and regulations of Euroclear or Clearstream) and the transfer restrictions contained in the legend on such Global
Note and exchanges or transfers of interests in a Global Note may be made only in accordance with the following: 

(i)    General Rules Regarding Transfers of Global Notes. Subject to clauses
(ii) through (vii) of this Section 6.5(i), Transfers of a Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes shall be limited to Transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository
or to a successor of the Depository or such successor’s nominee. 
 (ii)    Rule 144A Global Note
to Regulation S Global Note. If an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note related to a Series and/or Class deposited with or on behalf of the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such

  
 97 

 
Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in a Regulation S Global Note for that Series and/or Class, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery
thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note for that Series and/or Class, such Note Owner (or transferee), provided such Note Owner (or transferee) is not a “U.S. person” (as such term is defined in Regulation
S), may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest in such Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for that Series and/or Class. Upon the receipt by
the Indenture Trustee of (A) instructions from the Depository directing the Indenture Trustee to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to
be exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to the owner’s Notes held through a Regulation S Global Note, (B) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding
the participant account of the Depository and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase and (C) a certificate (each, a
“Regulation S Note Transfer Certificate”) in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto given by the Note Owner or its transferee stating that the exchange or transfer of such interest has
been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes, including the requirements that the Note Owner or its transferee is not a “U.S. person” (as such term is defined in Regulation S) and the transfer is
made pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S, then the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note for the related Series and/or Class and increase the principal amount of the
Regulation S Global Note for the related Series and/or Class by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be exchanged, and shall instruct Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, concurrently
with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for the related Series and/or Class equal to the reduction in the principal
amount of the Rule 144A Global Note for the related Series and/or Class. 
 (iii)    Regulation S
Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note. If an owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note related to a Series and/or Class deposited with or on behalf of the Depository wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such
Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for such Series and/or Class, such owner’s transferee may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository,
exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for such Series and/or Class. Upon the receipt by the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, of (A) instructions from the
Depository directing the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged but not less
than the minimum denomination applicable to such owner’s Notes held through a Rule 144A Global Note, to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such
increase, and (B) a certificate (each, a “Rule 144A Note Transfer Certificate”) in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto given by the transferee of such beneficial

  
 98 

 
interest, then the Indenture Trustee will reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note and increase the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note for the related Series and/or
Class by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for the related Series and/or Class to be transferred and the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar, shall instruct the Depository,
concurrently with such reduction, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note for the related Series and/or Class equal to the reduction in the
principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note for the related Series and/or Class. 

(iv)    Transfers of Interests in Rule 144A Global Note. An owner of a beneficial interest in
a Rule 144A Global Note may transfer such interest in the form of a beneficial interest in such Rule 144A Global Note in accordance with the procedures of the Depository without the provision of written certification. 

(v)    Transfers of Interests in Regulation S Global Note. An owner of a beneficial interest
in a Regulation S Global Note may transfer such interest in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note in accordance with the applicable procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream without the provision of written certification.

 (vi)    Regulation S Global Note to Regulation S Definitive Note. Subject to Section
5.4(j), an owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for the related Series and/or Class deposited with or on behalf of a Depository may at any time transfer such interest for a Regulation S Definitive Note upon provision
to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Note Registrar of a Regulation S Note Transfer Certificate. 

(vii)    Rule 144A Global Note to Rule 144A Definitive Note. Subject to Section
5.4(j), an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note deposited with or on behalf of a Depository may at any time transfer such interest for a Rule 144A Definitive Note, upon provision to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the
Note Registrar of a Rule 144A Note Transfer Certificate. 
 (j)    Transfers of Definitive Notes. In the event of
any Transfer of a Regulation S Definitive Note, a Regulation S Note Transfer Certificate shall be provided prior to the Indenture Trustee’s or Note Registrar’s registration of such Transfer. In the event of any Transfer of a Rule 144A
Definitive Note, a Rule 144A Note Transfer Certificate shall be provided prior to the Indenture Trustee’s or Note Registrar’s registration of such Transfer. 

(k)    ERISA Restrictions. Neither the Note Registrar nor the Indenture Trustee shall register the Transfer of any
Definitive Notes unless the prospective transferee has delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar a certification to the effect that either (i) it is not, and is not acquiring, holding or transferring the Notes, or any interest
therein, or on behalf of, or using assets of, an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, a plan described in section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, an entity which is deemed to hold the assets of any such employee
benefit plan or plan pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “Plan Asset Regulations”), which employee benefit plan, plan or entity
is subject to Title I of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental, non-U.S., 

  
 99 

 
church or other plan which is subject to any U.S. federal, state, local or other law that is substantially similar to Title I of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code (“Similar
Law”), or (ii) (A) as of the date of transfer or purchase, it believes that such Notes are properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulations and agrees to so treat such
Notes and (B) the transferee’s acquisition, holding or disposition of the Notes or any interest therein will satisfy the requirements of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 (relating to transactions effected by a qualified professional asset manager), PTCE 90-1 (relating to investments by insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (relating to investments in bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (relating to transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 96-23 (relating to transactions directed by an in-house professional asset manager) or the statutory prohibited transaction exemption for service providers set forth in
section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or a similar class, statutory or administrative exemption and will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406 of ERISA
or section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental, non-U.S., church or other plan subject to such Similar Law, will not violate any such Similar Law). In the case of any Book-Entry Note, each
transferee of such Note or any beneficial interest therein by virtue of its acquisition of such Note will be deemed to represent either (i) or (ii) above. 

(l)    No Liability of Indenture Trustee for Transfers. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Indenture
Trustee (in any of its capacities) shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any Note that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.5 or for making any payments due to the Noteholder thereof
or taking any other action with respect to such Noteholder under the provisions of this Base Indenture so long as the transfer was registered by the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar in accordance with the requirements of this Base Indenture.

  

	Section 6.6.	 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. 

(a)    If (1) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar, or the Issuer, the
Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (2) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as
may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer may execute, and, upon receipt of
the documents required by Section 6.3, together with an Issuer’s Certificate, the Indenture Trustee will authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note
of like tenor, Series or Class, Stated Maturity Date and Initial Note Balance, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding. 

(b)    In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the
Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note on a Payment Date in accordance with Section 4.5. 

(c)    Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, or the Note
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith. 

  
 100 

 (d)    Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of
any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note will constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled
to all the benefits of this Base Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of the same Series or Class duly issued hereunder. 

(e)    The provisions of this Section are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
  

	Section 6.7.	 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Withholding Taxes. 

(a)    Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Note pursuant to Section 6.1, interest payable
on any Note will be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the most recent Record Date. 

(b)    Subject to Section 6.7(a), each Note delivered under this Base Indenture upon transfer of or
in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note will carry the rights to interest and fees accrued or principal accreted and unpaid, and to accrue or accrete, which were carried by such other Note. 

(c)    The right of any Noteholder to receive interest and fees on or principal of any Note shall be subject to any
applicable withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to the Code or other applicable tax law, including foreign withholding and deduction. Any amounts properly so withheld or deducted shall be treated as actually paid to the appropriate Noteholder.
In addition, in order to receive payments on its Notes free of U.S. federal withholding and backup withholding tax, each Noteholder shall timely furnish the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, (1) any applicable IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY (with any applicable attachments) and (2) any documentation that is required under FATCA to enable the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any other agent of the Issuer to determine their duties and
liabilities with respect to any taxes they may be required to withhold in respect of such Note or the Noteholder of such Note or beneficial interest therein, in each case, prior to the first Payment Date after such Noteholder’s acquisition of
Notes and at such time or times required by law or that the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Issuer or their respective agents may reasonably request, and shall update or replace such IRS form or documentation in accordance with its terms or its
subsequent amendments. Each Noteholder will provide the applicable replacement IRS form or documentation every three (3) years (or sooner if there is a transfer to a new Noteholder or if required by applicable law). In each case above, the
applicable IRS form or documentation shall be properly completed and signed under penalty of perjury. 
  

	Section 6.8.	 Persons Deemed Owners. 

The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name the Note is registered in the Note Registrar as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment 

  
 101 

 
of principal of and (subject to Section 6.7) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and neither the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, nor any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, or the Note Registrar will be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

	Section 6.9.	 Cancellation. 

All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, conversion or exchange will, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture
Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and, if not already canceled, will be promptly canceled by it. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered will be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Note will be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly permitted by this Base Indenture. The Indenture Trustee will dispose of all canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. 
  

	Section 6.10.	 New Issuances of Notes. 

(a)    Issuance of New Notes. The Issuer may, from time to time, direct the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the
Issuer, to issue new Notes of any Series or Class, so long as the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.10(b) are satisfied if, at the time of issuance, other Notes have already been issued and remain Outstanding. On or before
the Issuance Date of new Notes of any Series or Class of Notes, the Issuer shall execute and deliver the required Indenture Supplement which shall incorporate the principal terms with respect to such additional Series or Class of Notes.
The Indenture Trustee shall execute any such Indenture Supplement without the consent of any Noteholders, the Issuer shall execute the Notes of such Series or Class and the Notes of such Series or Class shall be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee (along with the other deliverables required hereunder) for authentication and delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conditions to the issuance of the new Notes contemplated by Section 6.10(b) shall not apply to the
issuance of any Series of Notes on the Closing Date.

Issuer delivers to the Indenture Trustee, each VFN Noteholder and each Note Rating Agency that has rated any Outstanding Note that will remain Outstanding after the new issuance, notice of such new issuance; 

(ii)    on or prior to the date that the new issuance is to occur, the Issuer delivers to the Indenture
Trustee and each Note Rating Agency that has rated any Outstanding Note that will remain Outstanding after the new issuance, an Issuer Certificate to the effect that (x) the Issuer reasonably believes that the new issuance will not cause a
material Adverse Effect on any Outstanding Notes or a Secured Party, and (y) all conditions precedent set forth in this Base Indenture to the issuance of such Notes 

  
 102 

 
have been met, an Issuer Tax Opinion with respect to such proposed issuance, and an Opinion of Counsel:

this Base Indenture for the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Notes; 
 (B)    to the
effect that the form and terms of such Notes have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Base Indenture; and 

(C)    covering such other matters as the Indenture Trustee may reasonably request; 

(iii)    on or prior to the date that the new issuance is to occur, the Issuer will have delivered to the
Indenture Trustee and each Note Rating Agency that is at that time rating Outstanding Notes that will remain Outstanding after the new issuance, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Issuer has the requisite power and authority to issue such
Notes and such Notes have been duly authorized and delivered by the Issuer and, assuming due authentication and delivery by the Indenture Trustee, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with their
terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable
principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity) and are entitled to the benefits of this Base Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Notes, if any, of such Series or Class subject to the terms of this Base
Indenture and each Indenture Supplement; 
 (iv)    if any additional conditions to the new issuance are
specified in writing to the Issuer by a Note Rating Agency that is at that time rating any Outstanding Note that will remain Outstanding after the new issuance, the Issuer satisfies such conditions, if they are applicable to such Notes; 

(v)    either (1) the Issuer obtains written confirmation from each Note Rating Agency that is at that
time rating any Outstanding Note at the request of the Issuer that will remain Outstanding after the new issuance that the new issuance will not have a Ratings Effect on any Outstanding Notes that are rated by such Note Rating Agency at the request
of the Issuer or (2) if the Administrator and the Administrative Agents determine in their reasonable judgment that an applicable Note Rating Agency no longer provides such written confirmation described in the foregoing clause (1), (a) the
Administrator shall provide notice of such new issuance to the related Note Rating Agency and (b) each of the parties that would be Administrative Agents after giving effect to the new issuance shall have provided their prior written consent to
such new issuance which may be given in reliance in part on the Issuer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.10(b)(ii) above; 

(vi)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as evidenced by an Issuer’s
Certificate, unless (a) the proceeds of such new Notes are applied in whole or in part to redeem all other Outstanding Notes and/or (b) the Noteholders of any Notes that will remain Outstanding consent to such issuance of new Notes; 

  
 103 

 (vii)    on or prior to the date that the new issuance
is to occur, the Issuer will have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Indenture Supplement and, if applicable, the Issuer Certificate; 

(viii)    any Class of VFN (other than MBS Advance VFNs) must have the same Stated Maturity Date and
Interim Payment Date as any and all other Outstanding Classes of VFNs; 
 (ix)    if any Class of
VFNs is beneficially owned by the beneficial owner of the Issuer, all Classes of VFNs (other than MBS Advance VFNs) must be beneficially owned by the beneficial owner of the Issuer for United States federal income tax purposes and the financing of
such Class of VFNs (other than MBS Advance VFNs) shall be subject to the requirement for an Issuer Tax Opinion; 

(x)    for any new Series with respect to which there is a new Administrative Agent not currently set forth
under the terms of the definition of “Administrative Agent,” the Administrative Agent shall have consented to the issuance of such Series, unless the Notes in respect of which the existing Administrative Agent’s consent is required,
are paid in full and all related commitments terminated in writing by the Issuer and any remaining accrued commitment fees paid in full to such terminated Administrative Agent, in connection with the issuance of the new Series with the different
Administrative Agent; and 
 (xi)    any other conditions specified in the applicable Indenture
Supplement; provided, however, that any one of the aforementioned conditions may be eliminated (other than clause (v) above and the requirement for an Issuer Tax Opinion) or modified as a condition precedent
to any new issuance of a Series or Class of Notes if the Issuer has obtained approval from each Note Rating Agency that is at that time rating any Outstanding Notes that will remain Outstanding after the new issuance. 

(c)    No Notice or Consent Required to or from Existing Noteholders and Owners. Except as provided in Section
6.10(b) above, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee will not be required to provide prior notice to or to obtain the consent of any Noteholder or Note Owner of Notes of any Outstanding Series or Class to issue any additional Notes of any
Series or Class. 
 (d)    Other Provisions. There are no restrictions on the timing or amount of any additional
issuance of Notes of an Outstanding Series or Class within a Series, of Notes, so long as the conditions described in Section 6.10(b) are met or waived. 

(e)    Sale Proceeds. The proceeds of sale of any new Series of Notes shall be wired to the Collection and Funding
Account, and the Indenture Trustee shall disburse such sale proceeds at the direction of the Administrator on behalf of the Issuer, except to the extent such funds are needed to satisfy the Borrowing Base. The Administrator on behalf of the Issuer
may direct the Issuer to apply such proceeds to reduce pro rata based on Invested Amounts, the VFN Principal Balance of any Classes of Variable Funding Notes, or to redeem any Series of Notes in

  
 104 

 
accordance with Section 13.1. In the absence of any such direction, the proceeds of such sale shall be distributed to Caliber or at Caliber’s direction on the
Issuance Date for the newly issued Notes. The Administrator shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a report demonstrating that the release of sale proceeds pursuant to the Issuer’s direction will not cause a Borrowing Base Deficiency, as a
precondition to the Indenture Trustee releasing such proceeds. 
 (f)    Increase or Reduction in Maximum VFN
Principal Balance. The increase or reduction in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance in respect of any Outstanding Class of Notes, the increase or decrease of any Advance Rates in respect thereof and/or the increase or decrease of interest
rates in respect thereof shall not constitute an issuance of “new Notes” for purpose of this Section 6.10.

transfer or exchange of Notes of that Series or Class expressly provided for herein or in the form of Note for that Series or Class), and the Indenture Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, will execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Base Indenture, when:

Series or Class of Notes, the obligations of the Administrator to the Indenture Trustee with respect to any Series or Class of Notes under Section 11.7 and of the Issuer to the Securities Intermediary under
Section 4.9 and the obligations and rights of the Indenture Trustee under Section 7.2 and Section 11.3, respectively, will survive such satisfaction and discharge. 

 

	Section 7.2.	 Application of Trust Money. 

All money and obligations deposited with the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 7.1 and all money received by the
Indenture Trustee in respect of such obligations will be held in trust and applied by it or the Paying Agent, in accordance with the provisions of the Class of Notes in respect of which it was deposited and this Base Indenture and the related
Indenture Supplement, to the payment to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment that money and obligations have been deposited with or received by the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent. 

 

	Section 7.3.	 Cancellation of Notes Held by the Issuer or Caliber. 

If the Issuer, Caliber or any of their respective Affiliates holds any Notes, that Noteholder may, subject to any provision of a related
Indenture Supplement limiting the repayment of such Notes by notice from that Noteholder to the Indenture Trustee, cause the Notes to be repaid and canceled, whereupon the Notes will no longer be Outstanding; provided, that, such
repayment and cancelation shall be subject to the written consent of the Administrative Agent. 
  

	Section 7.4.	 Extinguishment of Issuer’s Rights in Collateral. 

(a)    The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that upon the issuance of a letter of extinguishment by Ginnie Mae pursuant to
the Ginnie Mae Contract or the Acknowledgment Agreement (a “Letter of Extinguishment”) to Servicer, such Letter of Extinguishment shall, except as otherwise provided in the Acknowledgment Agreement, result in the complete
extinguishment of all redemption, equitable, legal or other right, title or interest of the Servicer in the Pooled Mortgages and any servicing income (including the related MSRs) derived therefrom, therefore instantly and automatically extinguishing
the security interest granted hereunder as it relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages. 
 (b)    As a result of the
extinguishment of Servicer’s rights in all or a portion of the Collateral, Issuer acknowledges that: 

(1)    the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall have rights pursuant to the
Acknowledgment Agreement with respect to the Pooled Mortgages (including, but not limited to, the ability to appoint a “standby issuer” that will assume the duties rights and obligations of the Servicer with respect to the Pooled
Mortgages); and 
 (2)    notwithstanding such rights, none of the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative
Agent or the Noteholders shall have any responsibility, express or implied, to protect or consider Servicer’s rights or interests in connection with any of the Indenture Trustee’s actions or inactions pursuant to the Acknowledgment
Agreement, including the receipt of any amounts with respect to the Pooled Mortgages following any transfer of Issuer responsibility. 

  
 106 

 (c)    Any amounts received by the Indenture Trustee or any standby
issuer appointed or otherwise designated by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Acknowledgment Agreement shall be applied first, to satisfy any costs and expenses of the Indenture Trustee, such standby issuer or any of their affiliates in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents and second, to reduce the other obligations. 

(d)    The Servicer acknowledges that, notwithstanding the extinguishment of its rights in the Pooled Mortgages, it
remains obligated in accordance with the terms hereof to the extent that any amounts payable to the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Noteholders or any Indemnified Party hereunder have not been paid in full. 

(e)    Any provision providing for the exercise of any action or discretion by the Indenture Trustee, (i) with
respect to Section 8 of the Acknowledgment Agreement as a result of an event of default under the Ginnie Mae Contract (including, but not limited to, the appointment of a Standby Issuer or to effect the cure required under the Acknowledgment
Agreement), shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of 100% of the VFN Noteholders, and (ii) with respect to any other provision of the Acknowledgment Agreement (other than Section 8 thereof), shall be
exercised by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes.

 Upon the occurrence of any such event none of the Administrator nor the Servicer shall be relieved from

Credit Manager prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its effort to perform its obligations. Each of the Administrator, the Servicer and the Credit Manager shall promptly notify the Indenture Trustee in writing
of any Event of Default or an event which with notice, the passage of time or both would become an Event of Default of which it has actual knowledge. For purposes of this Section 8.1, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default

and Section 11.2. 
 Section 8.2.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 

(a)    If an Event of Default of the kind specified in clauses (b), (c) or (s) of
Section 8.1 occurs, the unpaid principal amount of all of the Notes shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice, presentment or demand of any kind. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then
and in each and every such case, the Indenture Trustee, at the written direction of any of (1) the Administrative Agent, (2) the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes that are not Variable Funding Notes (excluding any Retained
Notes) or (3) the Majority Noteholders for any Series of Variable Funding Notes Outstanding (excluding any Retained Notes), may declare the Note Balance of all the Outstanding Notes and all interest and principal accrued and unpaid (if any)
thereon and all other amounts due and payable under any 

  
 110 

 Transaction Document to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration each Note will become
and will be immediately due and payable and the Revolving Period with respect to such Series or Class shall immediately terminate, anything in this Base Indenture, the related Indenture Supplement(s) or in the Notes to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such payments are subject to the allocation, deposits and payment sections of this Base Indenture and of the related Indenture Supplement(s). 

(b)     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made or an automatic acceleration has occurred with
respect to the Notes of any Series or Class and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as hereafter provided in this Article VIII, the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding
Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 

(i)    the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all
overdue installments of interest on such Notes, (B) the principal of such Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of such Notes,
to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, (C) interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefore by the terms of such Notes to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, and
(D) all sums paid by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Indenture Trustee or the bank serving as Indenture Trustee (in any of its capacities), their agents and counsel, all other
amounts due under Section 4.5; and 
 (ii)    all Events of Default, other than the
nonpayment of the principal of such Notes which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 8.14. 

No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 8.3.    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Indenture Trustee. 

The Issuer covenants that if: 

(a)     the Issuer defaults in the payment of interest on any Notes when such interest becomes due and payable, which
default continues for a period of two (2) Business Days following written notice from the Indenture Trustee of such default; or 
 (b)
    the Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of any Series or Class of Notes on the Stated Maturity Date thereof; then 

the Issuer will, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay (subject to the allocation provided in Section 4.5(a)(2) and any
related Indenture Supplement) to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders of any such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on any such Notes for principal and interest, together with any Cumulative Interest Shortfall
Amounts, 

  
 111 

 
unless otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement, and in addition thereto, will pay such further amount as will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the bank serving as Indenture Trustee (in any of its capacities), their agents and counsel and all other amounts due under
Section 4.5. 
 If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee may, in its own name
and as trustee of an express trust, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may directly prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and the Indenture Trustee may enforce the same against the
Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law and this Base Indenture. 

Section 8.4.    Indenture Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 

In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Event or other similar proceeding or event relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes
or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes will then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise) will be entitled and empowered by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a)     to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due under Section 4.5) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(b)     to collect and receive any funds or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payment to the Indenture Trustee and the bank serving as Indenture Trustee (in all its
capacities), and in the event that the Indenture Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee and the bank serving as Indenture Trustee (in all its capacities) any amount due to it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and the bank serving as Indenture Trustee (in all its capacities), their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee and the bank
serving as Indenture Trustee (in all its capacities) under Section 4.5. 
 Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize
the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the
Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding. 

  
 112 

 Section 8.5.    Indenture Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Notes. 
 All rights of action and claims under this Base Indenture or the Notes of any Series or Class are subject to Ginnie
Mae Requirements and may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee, without the possession of any of the Notes of such Series or Class or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by
the Indenture Trustee, will be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment will, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee
and its respective agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders of the Notes of such Series or Class in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

Section 8.6.    Application of Money Collected. 

Any money or other property collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII will be applied in accordance with
Section 4.5(a)(2), at the Final Payment Date fixed by the Indenture Trustee and, in case of the payment of such money on account of principal, interest or fees, upon presentation of the Notes of the related Series or Class and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid. 
 Section 8.7.    Sale of
Collateral Requires Consent of Noteholders. 
 Subject to Ginnie Mae Requirements, the Indenture Trustee shall not sell Collateral or
cause the Issuer to sell Collateral following any Event of Default, except with the written consent, or at the direction of, the Majority Noteholders of each Series; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to the consent of Ginnie
Mae, and pursuant to the terms of the Credit Management Agreement, sell Collateral or cause the Issuer to sell Collateral without prior consent of any of the Noteholders if an Event of Default under clauses (b), (c) or
(s) of Section 8.1 occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of 100% of the Noteholders of the Outstanding Notes of each Series shall be required for any sale that does not generate sufficient proceeds to pay the
Note Balance of all such Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owed in respect of such Notes and the Transaction Documents. If such direction has been given by the Noteholders of the requisite percentage of all
Outstanding Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall, subject to Ginnie Mae Requirements and the terms of the Acknowledgment Agreement, cause the Issuer to sell Collateral pursuant to Section 8.15, and shall provide notice of this to each Note
Rating Agency of then Outstanding Notes.     
 Section 8.8.    Limitation on Suits. 

No Noteholder will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Base Indenture or any Note, or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee or similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
 (a)    such
Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to Notes of such Noteholder’s Notes’ Series or Class; 

(b)    the Noteholders of more than 50% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes of each Series, measured by Voting
Interests, have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in the name of the Indenture Trustee hereunder; 

  
 113 

 (c)    such Noteholder or Noteholders have offered to the Indenture
Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; and 

(d)     the Indenture Trustee, for sixty (60) days after the Indenture Trustee has received such notice, request and
offer of indemnity, has failed to institute any such proceeding; it being understood and intended that no one or more Noteholders of Notes of such Series or Class will have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Base Indenture or any Note to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Noteholders of Notes, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Noteholders or to enforce any right under this
Base Indenture or any Note, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the Noteholders of all Notes. 

Section 8.9.    Limited Recourse. 

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Base Indenture, the Notes, any other Transaction Documents or otherwise, the obligations of the Issuer
under the Notes, this Base Indenture and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Trust Estate, and following realization of the Trust Estate and application of
the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of this Base Indenture, none of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee or any of the other parties to the Transaction Documents shall be entitled to take any further steps to recover any sums due but
still unpaid hereunder or thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. Subject to the foregoing and to the terms of the applicable Indenture Supplement, each Noteholder will, however, have the
absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of all amounts due with respect to the Notes pursuant and respect to the terms of the Indenture, which right shall not be impaired without the consent of each Noteholder and to initiate suit for
the enforcement of any such payment, which right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Notes or this Base Indenture or for any action or inaction
of the Issuer against any officer, director, employee, equity holder or organizer of the Issuer or any of their successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Base Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of
this Section 8.9 shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Trust Estate or (ii) save as specifically provided therein,
constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Base Indenture. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.9 shall not limit the right of
any Person, to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Base Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be
asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity. 

  
 114 

 Section 8.10.    Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Base Indenture and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their
former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 

Section 8.11.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every right and remedy will, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

Section 8.12.     Delay or Omission Not Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time,
and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as the case may be. 

Section 8.13.    Control by Noteholders. 

Either 100% of the VFN Noteholders or the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Notes; provided that: 

(a)    the Indenture Trustee will have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee, being
advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may violate applicable law or would conflict with this Base Indenture or if the Indenture Trustee in good faith determines that the proceedings so directed would have a substantial
likelihood of involving it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Noteholders not taking part in such direction, unless the Indenture Trustee has received indemnity satisfactory to it from the Noteholders; 

(b)    the Indenture Trustee may take any other action permitted hereunder deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is
not inconsistent with such direction; and 

  
 115 

 (c)    to the extent there are conflicting directions between 100% of
the VFN Noteholders and the Majority Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee will take its direction from 100% of the VFN Noteholders (excluding any Retained Notes). 

Section 8.14.    Waiver of Past Defaults. 

Together, the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes that are not Variable Funding Notes, the Majority Noteholders for any Series of
Variable Funding Notes Outstanding and the Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Noteholders of all such Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured: 

(a)    in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, or 

(b)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article XII cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of the Noteholder of each Outstanding Note. 
 Upon any such waiver, such default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Base Indenture; but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 8.15.    Sale of Trust Estate. 

(a)    The power to effect any Sale of any portion of the Trust Estate shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as
to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Base Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The
Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. 

(b)    Unless the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Series have otherwise provided its written consent to the
Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than all amounts due to the Indenture Trustee hereunder and the entire amount which would be payable to the Noteholders in
full payment thereof in accordance with Section 8.6, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such sale, has not been received, the Indenture Trustee shall prevent such sale by bidding an amount at least $1.00 more than the
highest other bid in order to preserve the Trust Estate. 
 (c)    In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the
Trust Estate: 
 (i)    any of the Noteholders may bid for and purchase the property offered for Sale,
and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability; 

(ii)    the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property offered for Sale in connection with any
Sale thereof; 

  
 116 

 (iii)    the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver
an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof; 

(iv)    the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary
to effect such Sale; and 
 (v)    no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain
the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys. 

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Base Indenture, and subject to Ginnie Mae Requirements, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Notes have become due and payable or have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, any proceeds received by the Indenture
Trustee with respect to a foreclosure, sale or other realization resulting from a transfer of the assets of the Trust Estate shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(2). The amount, if any, so allocated to the Issuer shall be
paid by the Indenture Trustee to or to the order of the Issuer free and clear of the Adverse Claim of this Base Indenture and the Noteholders shall have no claim or rights to the amount so allocated. 

Section 8.16.    Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Base Indenture agree, and each Noteholder by its acceptance thereof will be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in
its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Base Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in
such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section will not apply to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder or group of Noteholders
holding in the aggregate more than 25% of the Note Balance of the Outstanding Notes of each Series (measured by Voting Interests) to which the suit relates, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholders for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Note on or after the applicable Stated Maturity Date expressed in such Note. 

Section 8.17.    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Base Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 

  
 117 

	Section 8.18.	 Notice of Waivers. 

Promptly (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the occurrence thereof), after any waiver of an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 4.12, or any rescission or annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to Section 8.2(b), or any waiver of past default pursuant to Section 8.14, the Issuer will notify all related Note
Rating Agencies, Ginnie Mae and the Credit Manager in writing. 
 Article IX 

The Issuer 
  

	Section 9.1.	 Representations and Warranties of Issuer. 

The Issuer hereby makes the following representations and warranties for the benefit of the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Manager
and the Noteholders. The representations shall be made as of the execution and delivery of this Base Indenture and of each Indenture Supplement, and as of each Funding Date and as of each date of Grant and shall survive the Grant of a Security
Interest in the Participation Certificates to the Indenture Trustee. 
 (a)    Organization and Good Standing.
The Issuer is duly organized and validly existing as a statutory trust and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned
and such business is presently conducted. The Issuer has appointed the Administrator as the Issuer’s agent where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes of this Base Indenture may be served. 

(b)    Power and Authority. The Issuer has and will continue to have the power and authority to execute and deliver
this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is or will be a party, and to carry out their respective terms; the Issuer had and has had at all relevant times and now has full power, authority and legal right to acquire, own,
hold and Grant a Security Interest in the Trust Estate and has duly authorized such Grant to the Indenture Trustee by all necessary action; and the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of this Base Indenture and each of the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Issuer. 

(c)    Valid Transfers; Binding Obligations. This Base Indenture creates a valid Grant of a Security Interest in
the Participation Certificates which has been validly perfected and is a first priority Security Interest under the UCC, and in such other portion of the Collateral as to which a Security Interest may be granted under the UCC, which security
interest is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the Issuer, subject to applicable law. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equity principles. 

  
 118 

 (d)    No Violation. The execution and delivery by the Issuer of
this Base Indenture and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and the fulfillment of the terms of this Base Indenture
and the other Transaction Documents do not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under the Organizational Documents of the Issuer or any
indenture, agreement or other material instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of its properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement
or other instrument (other than this Base Indenture), or violate any law, order, judgment, decree, writ, injunction, award, determination, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuer of any court or of any federal or state regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Issuer or its properties, which breach, default, conflict, Adverse Claim or violation could reasonably be expected to have a material Adverse Effect. 

(e)    No Proceedings. There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or governmental agency or
body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or to the Issuer’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting the Issuer: (i) asserting the invalidity of this Base Indenture, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents to which the Issuer
is a party, (ii) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Base Indenture, or any of the other Transaction Documents, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling which
could reasonably be expected to have a material Adverse Effect or could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise), business or operations of the Issuer, or (iv) relating to the Issuer and
which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the United States federal income tax attributes of the Notes. 

(f)    No Subsidiaries. The Issuer has no subsidiaries. 

(g)    All Tax Returns True, Correct and Timely Filed. All tax returns required to be filed by the Issuer in any
jurisdiction have in fact been filed and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Issuer or upon any of its properties, and all income of franchises, shown to be due and payable on such returns have been paid except for
any such taxes, assessments, fees and charges the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Issuer had established adequate reserves in accordance
with GAAP. All such tax returns were true and correct in all material respects and the Issuer knows of no proposed additional tax assessment against it that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the ability of the
Issuer to perform its obligations hereunder nor of any basis therefor. The provisions for taxes on the books of the Issuer are in accordance with GAAP. 

(h)    No Restriction on Issuer Affecting its Business. The Issuer is not a party to any contract or agreement, or
subject to any charter or other restriction, which materially and adversely affects its business, and the Issuer has not agreed or consented to cause any of its assets or properties to become subject to any Adverse Claim other than the Security
Interest or any Permitted Liens. 

  
 119 

 (i)    Title to Participation Certificates. As represented by
Caliber in the PC Repurchase Agreement, immediately prior to the Grant thereof to the Indenture Trustee as contemplated by this Base Indenture, subject to Ginnie Mae Requirements with respect thereto, the Issuer had good and marketable title to each
Participation Certificate, free and clear of all Adverse Claims other than any Permitted Liens and rights of others. 

(j)    Perfection of Security Interest. All filings and recordings that are necessary to perfect the interest of
the Issuer in the Participation Certificates and such other portion of the Trust Estate as to which a sale or security interest may be perfected by filing under the UCC, have been accomplished and are in full force and effect. All filings and
recordings against the Issuer required to perfect the Security Interest of the Indenture Trustee in such Participation Certificates and such other portion of the Trust Estate as to which a Security Interest may be perfected by filing under the UCC,
have been accomplished and are in full force and effect, and all such filings and recordings against the Issuer include the legends set forth as clauses (i) through (iii) of the fourth full paragraph of the Granting Clause. Subject to the
rights of Ginnie Mae with respect thereto, other than the Security Interest granted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Base Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a Security Interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of
the Participation Certificates or any other Collateral. The Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statement filed against the Issuer that includes a description of collateral covering the Participation
Certificates other than (1) any financing statement related to the Security Interest granted to the Indenture Trustee hereunder or (2) that has been terminated. 

(k)    Notes Authorized, Executed, Authenticated, Validly Issued and Outstanding. The Notes have been duly and
validly authorized and, when duly and validly executed and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Base Indenture and delivered to and paid for by each purchaser as provided herein, will be validly issued and
outstanding and entitled to the benefits hereof. 
 (l)    Location of Chief Executive Office and Records. The
chief executive office of the Issuer and the office where Issuer maintains copies of its corporate records, is located at the offices of the Administrator at 1525 South Belt Line Road, Coppell, Texas 75019; provided that, at any time after the
Closing Date, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, the Issuer may relocate its jurisdiction of formation, and/or its principal place of business and chief executive office, and/or the
office where it maintains all of its records, to another location or jurisdiction, as the case may be, within the United States to the extent that the Issuer shall have taken all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee or
the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes to amend its existing financing statements and continuation statements, and file additional financing statements and to take any other steps reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee or the
Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes to further perfect or evidence the rights, claims or security interests of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders under any of the Transaction Documents. 

(m)    Solvency. The Issuer: (i) is not “insolvent” (as such term is defined in § 101(32)(A) of
the Bankruptcy Code); (ii) is able to pay its debts as they become due; and (iii) does not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged or for any business or transaction in which it is about to engage. The Issuer is
not Granting the Trust Estate to the Indenture Trustee with the intent to defraud, delay or hinder any of its creditors. 

  
 120 

 (n)    Separate Identity. The Issuer is operated as an entity
separate from the Servicer and the Administrator. The Issuer has complied with all covenants set forth in its Organizational Documents. 

(o)    Name. The legal name of the Issuer is as set forth in this Base Indenture and the Issuer does not use and
has not used any other trade names, fictitious names, assumed names or “doing business as” names. 

(p)    Governmental Authorization. Other than the filing of the financing statements (or financing statement
amendments) required hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for (i) the due execution and
delivery by Issuer of this Base Indenture and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and (ii) the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder. 

(q)    Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates to the
Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders for purposes of or in connection with this Base Indenture, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by the Issuer
or any of its Affiliates to the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified. 

(r)    Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of any issuance of Notes or funding under a VFN hereunder will be used for a
purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time. 

(s)    Investment Company. The Issuer is not required to be registered as an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act, or any successor statute. 
 (t)    Compliance with Law. The Issuer
has complied in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject. 

(u)    Investments. The Issuer does not own or hold, directly or indirectly (i) any capital stock or equity
security of, or any equity interest in, any Person or (ii) any debt security or other evidence of indebtedness of any Person. 

(v)    Transaction Documents. The PC Repurchase Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which the Issuer
directly or indirectly purchases and receives contributions of Participation Certificates from Caliber and the PC Repurchase Agreement represents the only agreement between Caliber and the Issuer relating to the transfer of the Participation
Certificates from Caliber to the Issuer. 

  
 121 

 (w)    Limited Business. Since its formation, the Issuer has
conducted no business other than entering into and performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and such other activities as are incidental to the foregoing. The Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and
any agreements entered into in connection with the transactions that are permitted thereby, are the only agreements to which the Issuer is a party. 
  

	Section 9.2.	 Liability of Issuer; Indemnities. 

(a)    Obligations. The Issuer shall be liable in accordance with this Base Indenture only to the extent of the
obligations in this Base Indenture specifically undertaken by the Issuer in such capacity under this Base Indenture and shall have no other obligations or liabilities hereunder. The Issuer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indenture
Trustee (in all its capacities), the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Note Registrar, the Credit Manager, the Noteholders (as applicable, with respect to the related Series of Notes) and the Trust Estate (each an
“Issuer Indemnified Party”) from and against any taxes that may at any time be asserted against the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Note Registrar, the Credit
Manager or the Trust Estate with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Base Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible or intangible personal property, privilege
or license taxes (but not including any taxes asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the transfer of the Participation Certificates to the Trust Estate, the issuance and original sale of the Notes of any Class, or asserted with respect to
ownership of the Participation Certificates, or federal, state or local income or franchise taxes or any other tax, or other income taxes arising out of payments on the Notes of any Class, or any interest or penalties with respect thereto or arising
from a failure to comply therewith) and costs and expenses in defending against the same and in connection with the Issuer Indemnified Parties’ enforcement of any rights hereunder or under any Transaction Document, except that in no event shall
the Issuer be required to indemnify any Issuer Indemnified Party if the indemnification obligation under this Section 9.2(a) to such Issuer Indemnified Party is the result of a violation of law, gross negligence or willful misconduct by
such Issuer Indemnified Party. 
 (b)    Notification and Defense. Promptly after any Issuer Indemnified Party
shall have been served with the summons or other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which a claim for indemnity may be made against the Issuer under this Section 9.2, the
Issuer Indemnified Party shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, but failure so to notify the
Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise, except to the extent that the Issuer is prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Issuer. The Issuer will be entitled, at its own expense, to
participate in the defense of any such claim or action and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Issuer Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Issuer to such Issuer
Indemnified Party that the Issuer wishes to assume the defense of any such action, the Issuer will not be liable to such Issuer Indemnified Party under this Section 9.2 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Issuer
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of any such action unless (i) the defendants in any such action include both the Issuer Indemnified Party and the Issuer, and the Issuer Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have
reasonably 

  
 122 

 
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer, or one or more Issuer Indemnified Parties, and which in the
reasonable judgment of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Issuer and such Issuer Indemnified Party, (ii) the Issuer shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Issuer Indemnified Party to represent the Issuer Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) the Issuer has authorized the employment of counsel for the Issuer Indemnified Party at the
expense of the Issuer; then, in any such event, such Issuer Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in such action, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Issuer; provided, however, that
the Issuer shall not in connection with any such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for any fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys at
any time for all Issuer Indemnified Parties. Each Issuer Indemnified Party, as a condition of the indemnity agreement contained herein, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Issuer in the defense of any such action or
claim. The Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of any Issuer Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Issuer Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Issuer Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Issuer Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or
threatened proceeding. 
 (c)    Expenses. Indemnification under this Section shall include reasonable and
customary out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Issuer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the
recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Issuer, without interest. 

(d)    Survival. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Base
Indenture. 
  

	Section 9.3.	 Merger or Consolidation, or Assumption of the Obligations, of the Issuer. 

Any Person (a) into which the Issuer may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Issuer shall be a party, or (c) which may succeed to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Issuer, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of
the Issuer under this Base Indenture, shall be the successor to the Issuer under this Base Indenture without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Base Indenture, except that if the
Issuer in any of the foregoing cases is not the surviving entity, then the surviving entity shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Issuer under the Transaction Documents, and the surviving entity shall have taken
all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes or the Indenture Trustee to amend its existing financing statements and continuation statements, and file additional financing statements
and to take any other steps reasonably requested by the Issuer, the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes or the Indenture Trustee to further perfect or evidence the rights, claims or security interests of the

  
 123 

 
Issuer, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee under any of the Transaction Documents. The Issuer (i) shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this
Section 9.3 to each Note Rating Agency that has rated any then-Outstanding Notes and the Indenture Trustee, (ii) for so long as the Notes are Outstanding, (1) shall receive from each Note Rating Agency rating Outstanding Notes
a letter to the effect that such merger, consolidation or succession will not result in a qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned by such Note Rating Agency to any Outstanding Notes or (2) if the
Administrator and the Administrative Agents determine in their reasonable judgment that an applicable Note Rating Agency no longer provides such letters as described in the foregoing clause (1), (a) the Administrator shall provide notice of such new
merger, consolidation or succession to the related Note Rating Agency and (b) each Administrative Agent shall have provided its prior written consent to such merger, consolidation or succession; provided, that the Issuer provides an
Issuer Certificate to the effect that any such merger, consolidation or succession will not have a material Adverse Effect on the Outstanding Notes, (iii) shall obtain an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, that such merger, consolidation or succession complies with the terms hereof and one or more Opinions of Counsel updating or restating all opinions delivered on the date of this Base Indenture with respect to
corporate matters, enforceability of Transaction Documents against the Issuer, and the grant by the Issuer of a valid security interest in the Participation Certificates to the Indenture Trustee and the perfection of such security interest and
related matters, (iv) shall receive from the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes their prior written consent to such merger, consolidation or succession, absent which consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the
Issuer shall not become a party to such merger, consolidation or succession and (v) shall obtain an Issuer Tax Opinion. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholders written notice of any merger, conversion or consolidation promptly
after a Responsible Officer has obtained actual knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter. 
  

	Section 9.4.	 Issuer May Not Own Notes. 

The Issuer may not become the owner or pledgee of one or more of the Notes (other than any Retained Note). Any Person Controlling, Controlled
by or under common Control with the Issuer may, in its individual or any other capacity, become the owner or pledgee of one or more Notes with the same rights as it would have if it were not an Affiliate of the Issuer, except as otherwise
specifically provided in the definition of the term “Noteholder.” The Notes so owned by or pledged to such Controlling, Controlled or commonly Controlled Person shall have an equal and proportionate benefit under the provisions of this
Base Indenture, without preference, priority or distinction as among any of the Notes, except as set forth herein with respect to, among other things, rights to vote, consent or give directions to the Indenture Trustee as a Noteholder. 

 

	Section 9.5.	 Covenants of Issuer. 

(a)    Organizational Documents; Unanimous Consent. The Issuer hereby covenants that its Organizational Documents
provide that they may not be amended or modified without (i) notice to the Indenture Trustee and each Note Rating Agency that is at that time rating any Outstanding Notes, and (ii) the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
unless and 

  
 124 

 
until this Base Indenture shall have been satisfied, discharged and terminated. The Issuer will at all times comply with the terms of its Organizational Documents. In addition, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 9.5 and any provision of law, the Issuer shall not take any action described in Section 4.1 of the Issuer’s Organizational Documents or do any of the following unless the Owners (as
such term is defined in the Issuer’s Organizational Documents), the Administrative Agent and the applicable Majority Noteholders as set forth in the Transaction Documents consent to such action: (A) dissolve or liquidate, in whole or in
part, or institute proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (B) consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, (C) file a petition seeking, or consent to, reorganization or relief under any
applicable federal, state or foreign law relating to bankruptcy or similar matters, (D) consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or a substantial part of its
property, (E) make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, (F) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or (G) take any action in furtherance of the actions set forth in clauses
(A) through (F) above; or (1) merge or consolidate with or into any other person or entity or sell or lease its property or all or substantially all of its assets to any person or entity; or (2) modify any provision of its
Organizational Documents. 
 (b)    Preservation of Existence. The Issuer hereby covenants to do or cause to be
done all things necessary on its part to preserve and keep in full force and effect its rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware, and to maintain each of its licenses, approvals, permits, registrations or
qualifications in all jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such licenses, approvals, registrations or qualifications, except for failures to maintain any such licenses, approvals,
registrations or qualifications which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material Adverse Effect. 

(c)    Compliance with Laws. The Issuer hereby covenants to comply in all material respects with all applicable
laws, rules and regulations and orders of any governmental authority, the noncompliance with which would have a material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Issuer. 

(d)    Payment of Taxes. The Issuer hereby covenants to pay and discharge promptly or cause to be paid and
discharged promptly all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Issuer or upon its income and profits, or upon any of its property or any part thereof, before the same shall become in default, provided that the Issuer
shall not be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Issuer shall have set aside on its books adequate
reserves with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so contested. 
 (e)    Investments. The Issuer
hereby covenants that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes, acquire or hold any indebtedness for borrowed money of another person, or any capital stock, debentures, partnership interests
or other ownership interests or other securities of any Person, other than Permitted Investments as provided hereunder and the Participation Certificates acquired under the PC Repurchase Agreement. 

  
 125 

 (f)    Keeping Records and Books of Account. The Issuer hereby
covenants and agrees to maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including an ability to recreate records evidencing the Participation Certificates in the event of the destruction or loss of the originals thereof) and keep and
maintain, all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Participation Certificates (including records adequate to permit the daily identification of all collections with respect to,
and adjustments of amounts payable under, each Participation Certificate). The Administrator shall ensure compliance with this Section 9.5(f). 

(g)    Employee Benefit Plans. The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees to comply in all material respects with the
provisions of ERISA, the Code, and all other applicable laws, and the regulations and interpretations thereunder to the extent applicable, with respect to each “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA. 

(h)    No Release. The Issuer shall not take any action and shall use its best efforts not to permit any action to
be taken by others that would release any Person from any of such Person’s covenants or obligations under any Transaction Document, Ginnie Mae Contract or other document, instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate, or which would
result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such document, instrument or agreement. 

(i)    Separate Identity. The Issuer acknowledges that the Secured Parties are entering into the transactions
contemplated by this Base Indenture in reliance upon the Issuer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Administrator or the Servicer (each, a “Facility Entity”). Therefore, from and after the date of

certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) constitute a default (or an event 

  
 129

which may be applicable to Caliber or any of its assets, including any and all such material instruments, agreements, invoices or other writings which give rise to or otherwise evidence a material portion of the MSRs, or (iii) violate any
statute, ordinance or law or any rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or of any public, governmental or regulatory body, agency or authority applicable to Caliber or its properties except, with respect to clauses

this Base Indenture, and (iii) authorizations, consents, approvals, filings, notices, or other actions the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations and orders would not reasonably be expected to have a material Adverse Effect.

 (f)    Information. No written statement, report or other document furnished or to be furnished pursuant to
this Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party by Caliber contains or will contain any statement that is or will be inaccurate or misleading in any material respect.

Noteholders (as applicable, with respect to the related Series of Notes) (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the extent that such cost,
expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, and was imposed upon, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Intermediary, the Note Registrar, the Credit Manager, the Owner Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Securities
Intermediary, the Trust Estate or any Noteholder (i) in the case of indemnification by the Administrator, by reason of a violation of law, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator (or of the Issuer as a result of a direction,
act or omission by the Administrator), in the performance of their respective obligations under this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents or (ii) in the case of indemnification by the Servicer, by reason of a violation of law,
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Servicer, in the performance of its respective obligations under this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents or as servicer under the Ginnie Mae Contracts, or by reason of the breach by the
Servicer of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder or under the Ginnie Mae Contracts; provided, that any indemnification amounts payable by the Administrator or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the Owner Trustee hereunder
shall not be duplicative of any indemnification amount paid by the Administrator to the Owner Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement or under the Administration Agreement. 

(b)    Notification and Defense. Promptly after any Indemnified Party shall have been served with the summons or
other first legal process or shall have received written notice of the threat of a claim in respect of which a claim for indemnity may be made against Caliber under 

  
 137 

 
this Section 10.4, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the service of such summons, other legal process or written notice, giving information
therein as to the nature and basis of the claim, but failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
is prejudiced by such failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or action and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party wishes to assume the defense of any such action, the Indemnifying Party will
not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 10.4 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of any such action unless (i) the defendants in any such
action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party (upon the advice of counsel) shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to
those available to the Indemnifying Party, or one or more Indemnified Parties, and which in the reasonable judgment of such counsel are sufficient to create a conflict of interest for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and
such Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or
(iii) the Indemnifying Party has authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; then, in any such event, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in such
action, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not in connection with any such action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for any fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. Each Indemnified Party, as a condition of the indemnity agreement
contained herein, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such action or claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party, effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or threatened proceeding. 

(c)    Expenses. Indemnification under this Section 10.4 shall include reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and expenses of litigation (including such fees and expenses incurred in enforcing the Indemnifying Party’s right to indemnification). If the Indemnifying Party has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the
recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Indemnifying Party, without interest. 

(d)    Survival. The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the Paying Agent and the termination of this Base Indenture. 

  
 138 

 Section 10.5.    Merger or Consolidation, or Assumption of the Obligations,
of Caliber. 
 Any Person (a) into which Caliber may be merged or consolidated, (b) which may result from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which Caliber shall be a party, or (c) which may succeed to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Caliber which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform
every obligation of Caliber under this Base Indenture, shall be the successor to Caliber under this Base Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Base Indenture;
provided, that (i) the Issuer provides an Issuer Certificate to the effect that any such merger, consolidation or conversion will not have a material Adverse Effect on the Outstanding Notes, and (ii) prior to any such merger,
consolidation or conversion the Administrator shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such merger, consolidation or conversion complies with the terms of this Base Indenture and one or more Opinions of
Counsel updating or restating all opinions delivered on the date of this Base Indenture with respect to corporate matters and the enforceability of Transaction Documents against Caliber, non-consolidation of
the Servicer with the Issuer, security interests and tax, and any additional opinions required under any related Indenture Supplement; provided, further, that the conditions specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above
shall not apply to any transaction (i) in which an Affiliate of Caliber assumes the obligations of Caliber and otherwise satisfies the eligibility criteria applicable to the Servicer under the Ginnie Mae Contracts or (ii) in which an
Affiliate of Caliber is merged into or is otherwise combined with Caliber and Caliber is the sole survivor of such merger or other combination. Caliber shall provide notice of any merger, consolidation or succession pursuant to this Section
to the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholders written notice of any merger, conversion or consolidation promptly after a Responsible Officer has obtained actual knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five
(5) Business Days thereafter.     
 Except as described in the preceding paragraph, Caliber may not assign or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

Section 11.1.    Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 

(a)    The Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Base Indenture with respect to the Notes, and no implied covenants, duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations will be read into this Base Indenture against the Indenture Trustee. 

(b)    In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Indenture Trustee may, with respect to Notes, conclusively rely upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Base Indenture, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein; but in the case of any such certificates
or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee will be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements
of this Base Indenture but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein. 

  
 139 

 (c)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with
respect to the Notes of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has been given written notice in the manner set forth in this Indenture or of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge, the Indenture
Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Base Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to require the Indenture Trustee to take any action, or have any liability for the failure to take any action, where the terms of this Base Indenture or any Supplement
provide that the Indenture Trustee only takes action at the direction of a certain percentage of the Noteholders or other Person or if the Indenture Trustee is permitted to refrain from taking action unless it has been provided with adequate
indemnity. 
 (d)    No provision of this Base Indenture will be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 

(i)    this subsection (d) will not be construed to limit the effect of subsection
(a) of this Section 11.1; 
 (ii)    the Indenture Trustee will not be liable for
any error of judgment made in good faith by an Indenture Trustee Authorized Officer, unless it will be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 

(iii)    the Indenture Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Majority Noteholders or the Administrative Agent relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising any
trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Base Indenture with respect to the Notes of any Class, to the extent consistent with Sections 8.7 and 8.8; 

(iv)    no provision of this Base Indenture will require the Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it has reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory
to the Indenture Trustee against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; 

(v)    whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Base Indenture relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee will be subject to the provisions of this Section; and 

(vi)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer or of Noteholders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, relating to the time, method or place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Indenture Trustee or with respect to the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon such party under this Indenture or with respect to the Notes.

hereunder, 
 (a)    the Indenture Trustee will transmit by mail to all registered Noteholders, as their names and
addresses appear in the Note Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Indenture Trustee, and 

(b)    the Indenture Trustee will give prompt written notification thereof to each Note Rating Agency, unless such default
shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note of any Series or Class, the Indenture Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if and so
long as an Indenture Trustee Responsible Officer in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders of such Series or Class. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means
any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. 
 Section 11.3.    Certain
Rights of Indenture Trustee. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.1: 

(a)    the Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary may conclusively rely and will
be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile

faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate; 
 (d)    each of the Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent,
Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary may consult with counsel of its own selection, at the expense of the Issuer, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any

Indenture Supplement, the Ginnie Mae Contract, the Acknowledgment Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer hereby gives the Indenture Trustee the power and right: 

(1)    to take possession of and endorse and collect any wired funds, checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or
other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Participation Certificates Granted by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee from the related Mortgage Pool, the Obligors on underlying Mortgage Loans or the Servicer, as the case may be; 

(2)    to file any claim or proceeding in any court of law or equity or take any other action otherwise
deemed appropriate by the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due from the related Mortgage Pool, the Obligors on underlying Mortgage Loans or the Servicer under such Participation Certificate whenever payable and
to enforce any other right in respect of any Participation Certificate Granted by the Issuer or related to the Trust Estate; 

(3)    to direct the related Servicer to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due under the
Participation Certificate Granted by the Issuer directly to the Indenture Trustee or as the Indenture Trustee shall direct; 

(4)    to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and

 145 

 (5)    to sign and endorse any assignments, notices and
other documents in connection with the Participation Certificates Granted by the Issuer or the Trust Estate; 

(6)    to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with the
Participation Certificates Granted by the Issuer and the Trust Estate as fully and completely as though the Indenture Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Indenture Trustee’s option and at the expense of the
Issuer, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Indenture Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Participation Certificate Granted by the Issuer or the Trust Estate and the Indenture Trustee’s
and the Issuer’s respective security interests and ownership interests therein and to effect the intent of this Base Indenture, all as fully and effectively as the Issuer might do; 

(7)    to perform or cause to be performed, the Servicer’s obligations under any Guaranty Agreement or
the Ginnie Mae Contract to the extent permitted by the Acknowledgment Agreement; 
 (8)    upon and after
the occurrence of a default by the Servicer under a Guaranty Agreement or the Ginnie Mae Contract, the Servicer also authorizes the Indenture Trustee, or other party appointed by the Indenture Trustee, to have on site access to the Servicer’s
operation sites, sufficient for the Administrative Agent or other party appointed by it, to begin the process of transferring the portfolio to a “Standby Issuer” as required pursuant to the Acknowledgment Agreement; 

(9)    the Servicer also authorizes the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time, to
execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 8.15 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; provided that the exercise of such powers are in
accordance with the Acknowledgment Agreement; and 
 (10)    the powers conferred on the Indenture
Trustee are solely to protect the Noteholders’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Indenture Trustee to exercise any such powers. 

(b)    The Indenture Trustee shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise
of such powers, and neither the Indenture Trustee nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to the Issuer for any act or failure to act hereunder; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such powers only in
accordance with the Acknowledgment Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall in any way be deemed to be a grant of power or authority to the Indenture Trustee or any officer or agent thereof to take any of the actions described in this paragraph
with respect to any underlying Obligor under any Mortgage Pool, for which an MBS Advance was made or Servicing Fee was accrued. 

  
 146

Except as otherwise provided in this Base Indenture: 

(a)    The Indenture Trustee (including in all of its capacities) will be paid the Indenture Trustee Fee on each Payment
Date pursuant to Section 4.5 as compensation for its services (in all capacities hereunder). 
 (b)    The
Indenture Trustee (including in all of its capacities) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Estate as set forth in Section 4.5 and Section 8.6, and shall be secondarily indemnified and held harmless by the
Administrator for, from and against, as the case may be, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance and administration of the Trust Estate,
including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Base Indenture, provided that: 

(i)    with respect to any such claim, the Indenture Trustee shall have given the Administrator written
notice thereof promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof; provided, however that failure to give such written notice shall not affect the Trust Estate’s or the
Administrator’s obligation to indemnify the Indenture Trustee, unless such failure materially prejudices the Trust Estate’s or the Administrator’s rights; 

(ii)    the Administrator may, at its option, assume the defense of any such claim using counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee; and 
 (iii)    notwithstanding anything in this Base Indenture to
the contrary, the Administrator shall not be liable for settlement of any claim by the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, entered into without the prior consent of the Administrator, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Trust Estate or the Administrator be required to indemnify the Indenture Trustee if the
indemnification obligation under this Section 11.7 is the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Indenture Trustee. 

No termination of this Base Indenture, or the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee, shall affect the obligations created by this
Section 11.7(b) of the Administrator to indemnify the Indenture Trustee under the conditions and to the extent set forth herein. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided in this Section 11.7(b) with respect to the Administrator shall not
pertain to any loss, liability or expense of the Indenture 

  
 147 

 Trustee, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim, incurred in connection with
any actions taken by the Indenture Trustee at the direction of the Noteholders pursuant to the terms of this Base Indenture. 
 The
Indenture Trustee agrees fully to perform its duties under this Base Indenture notwithstanding its failure to receive any payments of Indenture Trustee Fees pursuant to this Section 11.7(b) subject to its rights to resign in accordance
with the terms of this Base Indenture. 
 Anything in this Base Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Indenture
Trustee (in any of its capacities) be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such a loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 The Securities Intermediary, the Paying Agent, the Custodian and the Calculation Agent shall
be indemnified by the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 4.5 and Section 8.6, and secondarily by the Administrator, in respect of the matters described in Section 4.9 to the same extent as the Indenture Trustee. 

Neither of the Indenture Trustee nor the Securities Intermediary will have any recourse to any asset of the Issuer or the Trust Estate other
than funds available pursuant to Section 4.5 and Section 8.6 or to any Person other than the Issuer (or the Administrator pursuant to this Section 11.7). Except as specified in Section 4.5 and
Section 8.6, any such payment to the Indenture Trustee shall be subordinate to payments to be made to Noteholders. 
 The
Indenture Trustee is not responsible for any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent. 
  

	Section 11.8.	 Corporate Indenture Trustee Required; Eligibility. 

There will at all times be an Indenture Trustee hereunder with respect to all Classes of Notes, which will be either a bank or a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least [***], subject to supervision or
examination by a federal or state authority of the United States, and the long-term unsecured debt obligation of which are rated at least BBB from each Note Rating Agency then rating Outstanding Notes if such institution is rated by the Note Rating
Agency, as applicable, or if such Note Rating Agency downgrades the Indenture Trustee below such minimum rating, the Indenture Trustee may obtain, at its own expense, a confirmation from such Note Rating Agency that downgraded the Indenture Trustee
below such rating category that there is no Ratings Effect by reason of such downgrade to a lower rating. If such bank or corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such bank or corporation will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. The Issuer may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly Controlling, Controlled by, or under common Control with the Issuer, serve as Indenture Trustee. If at any time the Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible in accordance
with 

  
 148 

 
the provisions of this Section 11.8, it shall resign upon failure to obtain such confirmation within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) Business Days) after such
ineligibility in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
  

	Section 11.9.	 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 

(a)    No resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Article will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Indenture Trustee under Section 11.10. 

(b)    The Indenture Trustee and the bank serving as Indenture Trustee (in all capacities) may resign with respect to all,
but not less than all, such capacities and all, but not less than all of the Outstanding Notes at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying
Agent or Securities Intermediary shall not have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent or Securities
Intermediary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary. Written notice of resignation by the Indenture Trustee under this Base
Indenture shall also constitute notice of resignation as Calculation Agent, Securities Intermediary, Paying Agent, and Note Registrar hereunder, to the extent the Indenture Trustee serves in such a capacity at the time of such resignation. 

(c)    The Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent may be removed with respect to all Outstanding Notes at any time by
Action of the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Removal of the Indenture Trustee shall also constitute removal of the Calculation Agent, Securities Intermediary, Note Registrar and
Paying Agent hereunder, to the extent the Indenture Trustee serves in such a capacity at the time of such resignation. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent shall not have been delivered to the
Indenture Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent being removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee
or Calculation Agent. 
 (d)    If at any time: 

(i)    the Indenture Trustee ceases to be eligible under Section 11.8 and fails to resign after
written request therefore by the Issuer or by any Noteholder; or 
 (ii)    the Indenture Trustee becomes
incapable of acting with respect to any Series or Class of Notes; or 
 (iii)    the Indenture
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Indenture Trustee or of its property is appointed or any public officer takes charge or Control of the Indenture Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, 

  
 149 

 then, in any such case, (A) the Issuer may remove the Indenture Trustee, or
(B) subject to Section 8.8, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Noteholder of a Note for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee. 
 (e)    If the Indenture
Trustee or Calculation Agent resigns, is removed or becomes incapable of acting with respect to any Notes, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent for any cause, the Issuer, subject to the
Administrative Agent’s consent, will promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Indenture Trustee or
Calculation Agent is appointed by Act of the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent, the successor Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent so appointed will,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent and supersede the successor Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Indenture Trustee or
Calculation Agent shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Noteholders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Noteholder of a Note for at least six (6) months may, on behalf
of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee or Calculation Agent. 

(f)    The Issuer will give written notice of each resignation and each removal of the Indenture Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee to each Noteholder as provided in Section 1.7 and to each Note Rating Agency that is then rating Outstanding Notes. To facilitate delivery of such notice, upon request by the Issuer, the Note
Registrar shall provide to the Issuer a list of the relevant registered Noteholders. Each notice will include the name of the successor Indenture Trustee and the address of its principal Corporate Trust Office. 

 

	Section 11.10.	 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. 

Every successor Indenture Trustee appointed hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to the predecessor Indenture
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, with a copy to each Note Rating Agency then rating any Outstanding Notes, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Indenture Trustee will become effective, and such successor
Indenture Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Securities Intermediary, Note Registrar and Paying Agent; but,
on request of the Issuer or the successor Indenture Trustee, such predecessor Indenture Trustee will, upon payment of its reasonable charges, if any, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Indenture Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the predecessor Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Securities Intermediary, Note Registrar and Paying Agent, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Indenture Trustee all property and money held by such
predecessor Indenture Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its rights to payment pursuant to Section 11.7. Upon request of any such successor Indenture Trustee, the Issuer will execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Indenture Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. 

  
 150 

 No successor Indenture Trustee will accept its appointment unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Indenture Trustee will be qualified and eligible under this Article XI. 
  

	Section 11.11.	 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 

Any Person into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Indenture Trustee, will be the successor of the Indenture Trustee
hereunder, provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article XI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. The Indenture Trustee will
give prompt written notice of such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession to the Issuer and each Note Rating Agency that is then rating Outstanding Notes. If any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Indenture
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Indenture Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Indenture Trustee
had itself authenticated such Notes. 
  

	Section 11.12.	 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. 

At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint an Authenticating
Agent with respect to one or more Series or Classes of Notes which will be authorized to act on behalf of the Indenture Trustee to authenticate Notes of such Series or Classes issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption
thereof or pursuant to Section 6.5, and Notes so authenticated will be entitled to the benefits of this Base Indenture and will be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Wherever
reference is made in this Base Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Indenture Trustee or an Indenture Trustee Authorized Signatory or to the Indenture Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, such reference will be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the Indenture Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent will be
acceptable to the Issuer and will at all times be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Issuer itself, subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority of the United States. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent will be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent will cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent will
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 
 Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may
be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or 

  
 151 

 consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent will be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, will continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided that such Person will be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Indenture Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving
such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or if at any time such Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Indenture Trustee, with the approval of the Issuer, may appoint
a successor Authenticating Agent which will be acceptable to the Issuer and will give notice to each Noteholder as provided in Section 1.7. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder will become
vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent will be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section. 
 The Indenture Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent (other than an Authenticating Agent appointed at the
request of the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Administrator from time to time or appointed due to a change in law or other circumstance beyond the Indenture Trustee’s control) reasonable compensation for its services under this Section,
out of the Indenture Trustee’s own funds without reimbursement pursuant to this Base Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall be the initial Authenticating Agent. 
  

	Section 11.13.	 Authorization. 

The Indenture Trustee is authorized and directed to enter into each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a
party.     
  

	Section 11.14.	 Representations and Covenants of the Indenture Trustee. 

The Indenture Trustee, in its individual capacity and not as Indenture Trustee, represents, warrants and covenants that: 

(a)    Citibank is a national banking association duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States;

 (b)    Citibank has full power and authority to deliver and perform this Base Indenture and has taken all necessary
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Base Indenture and other documents to which it is a party; 

(c)    each of this Base Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which Citibank is a party has been duly executed
and delivered by Citibank and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and 

  
 152 

 (d)    Citibank has a minimum aggregate capital, surplus and undivided
profits of at least $500,000. 
  

	Section 11.15.	 Indenture Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Issuer. 

Any application by the Indenture Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer may, at the option of the Indenture Trustee, set forth in
writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Indenture Trustee under and in accordance with this Base Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective, provided that such
application shall make specific reference to this Section 11.15. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Indenture Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or
after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date the Issuer actually receives such application, unless the Issuer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless
prior to taking any such action (or the Closing Date in the case of an omission), the Indenture Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action be taken or omitted.

Administrative Agent, and with prior notice to each Note Rating Agency that is then rating any Outstanding Notes, at any time and from time to time, upon delivery of an Issuer Tax Opinion, unless such Issuer Tax Opinion is waived by (i) in the
case of an amendment to such Indenture Supplement, the Series Required Noteholders of such Series or (ii) in the case of an amendment to this Base Indenture, the Series Required Noteholders of each Outstanding Series and upon delivery by the

or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer, for the benefit of the Noteholders of the Notes of any or all Series or Classes (and if such covenants or the surrender of such right or power are to be for the benefit of less
than all Series or Classes of Notes, stating that such covenants are expressly being included or such surrenders are expressly being made solely for the benefit of one or more specified Series or Classes); 

  
 153

(ix)    determined by the Administrator to be reasonably necessary to maintain the rating currently
assigned by the applicable Note Rating Agency and/or to avoid such Class of Notes being placed on negative watch by such Note Rating Agency; or 

(x)    as otherwise provided in the related Indenture Supplement. 

(b)    Additionally, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 12.2, unless otherwise provided in the
related Indenture Supplement with respect to any amendment of this Base Indenture or an Indenture Supplement, and in addition to clauses (i) through (x) above, this Base Indenture or an Indenture Supplement may also be amended by
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion) without the consent of any of the Noteholders or any other Person, upon delivery of an Issuer Tax Opinion, unless
such Issuer Tax Opinion is waived by (i) in the case of an amendment to such Indenture Supplement, the Series Required Noteholders of such Series or (ii) in the case of an amendment to this Base Indenture, the Series Required Noteholders

in the foregoing clause (1), (a) the Administrator shall provide notice of such amendment to the related Note Rating Agency and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have provided their prior written consent to such amendment. 

(c)    Any amendment of this Base Indenture which affects the rights, duties, immunities, obligations or liabilities of
the Owner Trustee in its capacity as owner trustee under the Trust Agreement shall require the written consent of the Owner Trustee.

supported by the same Issuer Tax Opinion, Officer’s Certificate and other applicable deliverables, as applicable, as amendments to the Indenture entered into under this Section 12.1, without the consent of the Majority Noteholders
of each Series. 
  

	Section 12.2.	 Supplemental Indentures and Amendments with Consent of Noteholders. 

In addition to any amendment permitted pursuant to Section 12.1, and subject to the terms and provisions of each Indenture
Supplement with respect to any amendment to this Base Indenture or such Indenture Supplement, with prior notice to each Note Rating Agency and the consent of the Majority Noteholders of each Series materially and adversely affected by such amendment
of this Base Indenture, including any Indenture Supplement, by Act of said Noteholders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee upon delivery
of an Issuer Tax Opinion (unless the Noteholders unanimously consent to waive such opinion), may enter into an amendment of this Base Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of, this Base Indenture of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders of the Notes of each such Series or Class under this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement; provided, however, that no such amendment
will, without the consent of the Noteholder of each Outstanding Note materially and adversely affected thereby: 

(a)    change the scheduled payment date of any payment of interest on any Note held by such Noteholder, or change a
Payment Date or (other than by exercise of an optional extension as set forth in the related Indenture Supplement) the Stated Maturity Date of any Note held by such Noteholder; 

(b)    reduce the Note Balance of, or the Note Interest Rate, the Step-Up Fee Rate
or the Default Supplemental Fee Rate on any Note held by such Noteholder, or change the method of computing the Note Balance or Note Interest Rate in a manner that is adverse to such Noteholder; 

  
 155 

 (c)    impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment on any Note held by such Noteholder; 
 (d)    reduce the percentage of Noteholders of the Outstanding Notes (or

hereunder or thereunder and their consequences, provided for in this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement; 

(e)    modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 8.14, except to increase any percentage

Notes of the related Series upon delivery of all opinions and certificates and notice to each Note Rating Agency required pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 12.2 or as otherwise specified in the applicable Indenture
Supplement. The consent of a Person that is an Administrative Agent for one or more Series but is not an Administrative Agent for any other Series is not required for any amendment, supplement or modification to any such other Series. 

An amendment of this Base Indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Base Indenture which has expressly
been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular Series or Class of Notes, or which modifies the rights of the Noteholders of Notes of such Series or Class with respect to such covenant or other provision, will be deemed not
to affect the rights under this Base Indenture of the Noteholders of Notes of any other Series or Class. 
 It will not be necessary for any
Act of Noteholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it will be sufficient if such Act will approve the substance thereof. 

  
 156 

	Section 12.3.	 Execution of Amendments. 

In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any amendment or Indenture Supplement of this Base Indenture permitted by this

Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or Indenture Supplement is authorized and permitted by this Base Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied. No such Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection

this Base Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement for all purposes; and every Noteholder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder will be bound thereby to the extent provided therein. 

 

	Section 12.5.	 Reference in Notes to Indenture Supplements. 

Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment of this Base Indenture or any Indenture Supplement or any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article may, and will if required by the Indenture Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment or supplemental indenture. If the Issuer so determines,
new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such amendment or supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee in

 Article XIII 

Early Redemption of Notes 
  

	Section 13.1.	 Optional Redemption. 

(a)    Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Indenture Supplement for a Series or Class of Notes, the Issuer has
the right, but not the obligation, to: (i) redeem a Series or Class of Term Notes in whole or in part (so long as, in the case of any partial redemption, such redemption is funded using the proceeds of the issuance and sale of one or more
new Classes of Notes as further specified in the related Indenture Supplement or from any other amounts received by the Issuer pursuant to the PC Repurchase Agreement other than Collections on 

  
 157 

 
MSRs) on a date specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement or on any Payment Date (a “Redemption Payment Date”) on or after the Payment Date on which the aggregate
Note Balance (after giving effect to all payments, if any, on that day) of such Series or Class is reduced to less than the Redemption Percentage of the Initial Note Balance and (ii) redeem a Series or Class of Variable Funding Notes
in whole or in part on a date specified in the applicable Indenture Supplement. 
 If the Issuer, at the direction of the Administrator,
elects to redeem a Series or Class of Notes pursuant to this Section 13.1, it will cause the Issuer to notify the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders of such redemption at least five (5) days prior to the Redemption Payment
Date. Unless otherwise specified in the Indenture Supplement applicable to the Notes to be so redeemed, the redemption price of a Series or Class so redeemed will equal the Redemption Amount, the payment of which will be subject to the
allocations, deposits and payments sections of the related Indenture Supplement, if any. 
 If the Issuer is unable to pay the Redemption
Amount in full on the Redemption Payment Date, such redemption shall be cancelled, notice of such cancelled redemption shall be sent to all Secured Parties and payments on such Series or Class of Notes will thereafter continue to be made in
accordance with this Base Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement, and the Noteholders of such Series or Class of Notes and the related Administrative Agent shall continue to hold all rights, powers and options as set forth under this
Base Indenture, until the Outstanding Note Balance of such Series or Class, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due in respect of the Notes, is paid in full or the Stated Maturity Date occurs, whichever is earlier, subject to
Article VII, Article VIII and the allocations, deposits and payments sections of this Base Indenture and the related Indenture Supplement. 

(b)    Unless otherwise specified in the related Indenture Supplement, if the VFN Principal Balance of any Class of
VFNs has been reduced to zero, then, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Noteholder thereof, the Issuer may declare such Class no longer Outstanding, in which case the Noteholder thereof shall submit such
Class of Notes to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation. 
 (c)    The Notes of any Series or Class of Notes
shall be subject to optional redemption under this Article XIII, in whole but not in part, by the Issuer, through (i) the use of the proceeds of issuance and sale of a new Series of Notes issued hereunder, or (ii) the use of the
proceeds received of any amounts funded under any Variable Funding Notes on any Business Day after the date on which the related Revolving Period ends, and on any Business Day within ten (10) days prior to the end of such Revolving Period or at
other times specified in the related Indenture Supplement upon ten (10) days’ (or other times specified in the related Indenture Supplement) prior notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall promptly deliver such notice
of optional redemption to the Noteholders. Following issuance of the Redemption Notice by the Issuer pursuant to Section 13.2 below, the Issuer shall be required to purchase the entire aggregate Note Balance of such Series or
Class of Term Notes for the applicable Redemption Amount on the date set for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”). 

(d)    If necessary to avoid a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Notes of any Series or Class of Variable Funding Notes
shall be subject to repayment by the Issuer, in whole or in part,

up to the amount necessary to avoid a Borrowing Base Deficiency, using any other cash or funds of the Issuer other than Collections on the Participation Certificates, upon one (1) Business
Day’s prior notice from the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee and the related VFN Noteholders. Any such repayment pursuant to this Section 13.1(d) shall reduce the principal balance of such Variable Funding Notes but shall not result

basis with other Series of Variable Funding Notes. 
 (e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Base Indenture,
the early redemption rights of the Issuer set forth in this Section 13.1 are in addition to the Issuer’s rights set forth in Section 2.01(b)(ii) to remove as Collateral the Participation Certificates and Mortgage Pools.

  

	Section 13.2.	 Notice. 

(a)    Promptly after the election to exercise any optional redemption pursuant to Section 13.1, the Issuer

(b)    Notice of redemption (each a “Redemption Notice”) will promptly be given as provided in
Section 1.7. All notices of redemption will state (i) the Series or Class of Notes to be redeemed pursuant to this Article XIII, (ii) the date on which the redemption of the Series or Class of Notes to be
redeemed pursuant to this Article will begin, which will be the Redemption Payment Date, and (iii) the redemption price for such Series or Class of Notes. 

Article XIV 

Miscellaneous 
  

	Section 14.1.	 No Petition. 

Each of the Indenture Trustee, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Administrator, by entering into this Base Indenture, each
Noteholder, by accepting a Note and each Note Owner by accepting a Note or a beneficial interest in a Note agrees that it will not at any time prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in
effect, after the payment in full of all the Notes, institute against the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Issuer of, any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States
federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes and this Base Indenture; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit or otherwise prevent the Indenture Trustee
from filing proofs of claim in any such proceeding. 
  

	Section 14.2.	 No Recourse. 

No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under
the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or
(iii) 

  
 159 

 
any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or “control person” within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such
Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. 
  

	Section 14.3.	 Tax Treatment. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer has entered into this Base Indenture with the intention that for United
States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Participation Certificates and the MSRs, unless retained by the Issuer or a single beneficial owner of the equity of the Issuer
for U.S. federal income tax purposes or an affiliate of the Issuer whose ownership would cause the Notes to be treated as equity under Treasury regulations promulgated under section 385 of the Code (each, a “Retained Note”).
The Issuer, by entering into this Base Indenture, each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note and each purchaser of a beneficial interest therein, by accepting such beneficial interest, agree to treat such Notes (other than any Retained Note) as
debt for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law in a proceeding of final determination. The Indenture Trustee shall treat the Trust Estate as a security device only. The
provisions of this Base Indenture shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended tax treatment. 
  

	Section 14.4.	 Alternate Payment Provisions. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Base Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer, with the written consent of the Indenture
Trustee and the Paying Agent, may enter into any agreement with any Noteholder of a Note providing for a method of payment or notice that is different from the methods provided for in this Base Indenture for such payments or notices. The Issuer will
furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent a copy of each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent will cause payments or notices, as applicable, to be made in accordance with such agreements. 

 

	Section 14.5.	 Termination of Obligations. 

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Indenture Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to
make payments to Noteholders as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon satisfaction and discharge of this Base Indenture as set forth in Article VII, except with respect to the payment obligations described in
Section 14.6(b). Upon this event, the Indenture Trustee shall release, assign and convey to the Issuer or any of its designees, without recourse, representation or warranty, all of its right, title and interest in the Collateral, whether
then existing or thereafter created, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto (including all moneys then held in any Trust Account) and all proceeds thereof, except for amounts held by the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to Section 14.6(b). The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer 

  
 160 

 
and assignment as shall be provided to it, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to vest in the Issuer or any of its designees all right, title and
interest which the Indenture Trustee had in the Collateral. 
  

	Section 14.6.	 Final Payment. 

(a)    The Issuer shall give the Indenture Trustee at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Payment
Date on which the Noteholders of any Series or Class may surrender their Notes for payment of the final payment on and cancellation of such Notes. Not later than the fifth (5th) day prior to
the Payment Date on which the final payment in respect of such Series or Class is payable to Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee or the Paying Agent shall provide notice to Noteholders of such Series or Class specifying (i) the date
upon which final payment of such Series or Class will be made upon presentation and surrender of Notes of such Series or Class at the office or offices therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to such payment date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the office or offices therein specified. The Indenture Trustee shall give such notice to the Note
Registrar and the Paying Agent at the time such notice is given to Noteholders. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding a final
payment to the Noteholders of any Series or Class (or the termination of the Issuer), except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, all funds then on deposit in any Account allocated to such Noteholders shall continue to be held in trust for the
benefit of such Noteholders, and the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall pay such funds to such Noteholders upon surrender of their Notes, if such Notes are Definitive Notes. In the event that all such Noteholders shall not surrender their
Notes for cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the notice from the Indenture Trustee described in clause (a) above, the Indenture Trustee shall give a second
(2nd) notice to the remaining such Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive the final payment with respect thereto. If within one year after the second (2nd) notice all such Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
such Noteholders concerning surrender of their Notes, and the cost thereof (including costs related to giving the second (2nd) notice) shall be paid out of the funds in the Collection and Funding
Account. The Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two (2) years. After payment to the Issuer, Noteholders entitled to the
money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. 
  

	Section 14.7.	 Base Servicing Fee. 

The parties hereto acknowledge that Caliber has the right to withdraw the Base Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan out of
collections it receives with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

	Section 14.8.	 Owner Trustee Limitation of Liability. 

It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Base Indenture is executed and delivered by WSFS, not
individually or personally but solely as trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the
Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements by WSFS but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any
liability on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties
hereto, (d) WSFS has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by the Issuer in this Base Indenture and (e) under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of
any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Base Indenture or any other related documents. 

 

	Section 14.9.	 Communications with Rating Agencies. 

If the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall receive any written or oral communication from any Note Rating Agency
(or any of the respective officers, directors or employees of any Note Rating Agency) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or under the Transaction Documents or in any way relating to the Notes, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent
and the Indenture Trustee agree to refrain from communicating with such Note Rating Agency and to promptly notify the Administrator of such communication; provided, however, that if the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or the
Indenture Trustee receives an oral communication from a Note Rating Agency, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be, is authorized to refer such Note Rating Agency to the Administrator, who will respond to
such oral communication. At the written request of the Administrator, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee agree to cooperate with the Administrator to provide certain information to the Administrator that may be
reasonably required by a Note Rating Agency to rate or to perform ratings surveillance on the Notes, and acknowledge and agree that the Administrator shall be permitted, in turn, to provide such information to the Note Rating Agencies via the
internet address identified therefor by the Administrator; provided, that the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Indenture Trustee shall only be required to provide such information that is reasonably available to such party at the
time of request. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Base Indenture or the other Transaction Documents, under no circumstances shall the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or the Indenture Trustee be required to participate in telephone
conversations or other oral communications with a Note Rating Agency, nor shall the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or the Indenture Trustee be prohibited from communicating with any nationally recognized statistical rating organization about
matters other than the Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Transaction Documents. Furthermore, the Indenture Trustee may make statements to Noteholders available on its website (as contemplated by Section 3.5(a)), and
such action is not prohibited by this Section 14.9.

	Section 14.13.	 Joinder of the Acknowledgment Agreement.

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 

This Note is one of the duly authorized Class [        ] Notes of the Issuer, designated as its CHL
GMSR Issuer Trust MSR Collateralized Notes, Series [    ], Class [        ] (herein called the “Class [        ] Notes”), all issued
under the Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the
Holders of the Notes. To the extent that any provision of this Note contradicts or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control and supersede such contradictory or inconsistent provision herein.
The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. 
 The payments on the Class [        ] Notes
are [senior to the Class [        ] Notes, the Class [        ] Notes and the Class [        ] Notes][, and subordinate to the
Class [        ] Notes, the Class [        ] Notes and the Class [        ] Notes], as and to the extent provided in the
Indenture. 
 The principal of and interest and fees on this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall be applied in accordance with the Indenture. 

The entire unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of
(i) any Redemption Payment Date as set forth in Section 13.1 of the Base Indenture [or in Section [ ] of the [Series Name] Indenture Supplement] and (ii) the Stated Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid
principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest of the Notes shall be immediately due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default of the kind specified in clauses (b), (c) or (s) of Section 8.1 of the Base Indenture occurs,
and, if any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, either the Indenture Trustee or the requisite percentage of Noteholders of each Series, by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture
Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare all Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All applicable principal payments on the Notes shall be made to the Holders of the Notes entitled thereto in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
 The Trust Estate secures this Class [        ] Note
and all other Class [        ] Notes equally and ratably without prejudice, priority or distinction between any Class [        ] Note and any other Class
[        ] Note. The Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer and are limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate, as provided in the Indenture. The Issuer shall not
otherwise be liable for payments on the Notes, and none of the owners, agents, officers, directors, employees, or successors or assigns of the Issuer shall be personally liable for any amounts payable, or performance due, under the Notes or the
Indenture. 
 Any payment of interest or principal on this Note shall be paid on the applicable [Interim Payment Date and] Payment Date as
set forth in the Indenture to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the Note Register as of the close of business on the related Record Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account specified in writing by the related Noteholder to the extent provided by the Indenture and otherwise by check mailed to the Noteholder. 

  
 Exhibit A-1-8 

 [Any reduction in the Note Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any applicable [Interim Payment Date and] Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof,
whether or not noted hereon.] 
 [Any reduction in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance or the VFN Principal Balance, as the case may be, of
this Class [        ] Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made with respect thereto or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be binding upon all future Holders
of this Class [        ] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. Any VFN Principal Balance increase of this
Class [        ] Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments to the Issuer shall be binding upon the Issuer and shall inure to the benefit of all future Holders of this Class
[        ] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.] 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached hereto duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion
Program (“STAMP”), and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same [aggregate principal amount] [VFN Principal Balance] will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Issuer may require the Noteholder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange. 
 Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or a beneficial ownership interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or “control person”
within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or
Owner Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to
the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. 

  
 Exhibit A-1-9 

 Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note and each Note Owner by accepting a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note agrees that it will not at any time prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all the Notes, institute against the Issuer, or join
in any institution against the Issuer of, any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to
the Notes and this Indenture. 
 The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for United
States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Collateral. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, and each purchaser of a beneficial interest therein, by accepting such
beneficial interest, agrees to treat such Notes as debt for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law in a proceeding of final determination. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying
Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Issuer or other parties thereto and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time pursuant to the terms and provisions of Article XII of the Base Indenture and Section [    ] of the [Series Name]
Indenture Supplement. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Notes or a particular Class of Notes, on behalf of all of the Noteholders, or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more
predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of any Noteholder. 

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein or in the Indenture, a Holder of this Note will have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on this Note on the Stated Maturity Date and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right will not be impaired without the consent of the Holder;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, the obligation to pay principal of or interest on this Note or any other amount payable to the Holder 

  
 Exhibit A-1-10 

 
will be without recourse to the Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Securities Intermediary or any Affiliate (other than the Issuer),
officer, employee or director of any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay principal of or interest on this Note or any other amount payable to the Holder will be limited to amounts available from the Trust Estate and subject to the
priority of payment set forth in the Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding any other terms of the Indenture or this Note, the obligations of the
Issuer hereunder are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Trust Estate, and following realization of the Trust Estate and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Holder
hereof shall not be entitled to take any further steps to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder or thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No Holder of this Note shall have recourse
for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Note or the Indenture or for any action or inaction of the Issuer against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, stockholder or incorporator of the Issuer or any of their successors or
assigns for any amounts payable under this Note or the Indenture. The foregoing provisions of this Note shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is
part of the Trust Estate, (ii) save as specifically provided therein, constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Note or secured by the Indenture, or (iii) limit the right of any Person,
to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Note or the Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if
obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

Securities Intermediary and the Holders of the Notes. To the extent that any provision of this Note contradicts or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control and supersede such contradictory
or inconsistent provision herein. The Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture. 
 The payments on the Class
[        ] Notes are [senior to the Class [        ] Notes, the Class [        ] Notes and the Class

otherwise be liable for payments on the Notes, and none of the owners, agents, officers, directors, employees, or successors or assigns of the Issuer shall be personally liable for any amounts payable, or performance due, under the Notes or the
Indenture. 
 Any payment of interest or principal on this Note shall be paid on the applicable [Interim Payment Date and] Payment Date as

 [Any reduction in the Note Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any applicable [Interim Payment Date and] Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof,
whether or not noted hereon.] 
 [Any reduction in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance or the VFN Principal Balance, as the case may be, of
this Class [        ] Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made with respect thereto or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be binding upon all future Holders
of this Class [        ] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. Any VFN Principal Balance increase of this
Class [        ] Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments to the Issuer shall be binding upon the Issuer and shall inure to the benefit of all future Holders of this Class
[        ] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.] 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached hereto duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion
Program (“STAMP”), and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same [aggregate principal amount] [VFN Principal Balance] will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Issuer may require the Noteholder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange. 
 Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or a beneficial ownership interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or “control person”
within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or
Owner Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to
the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. 

  
 Exhibit A-2-8 

 Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note and each Note Owner by accepting a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note agrees that it will not at any time prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all the Notes, institute against the Issuer, or join
in any institution against the Issuer of, any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to
the Notes and this Indenture. 
 The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for United
States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Collateral. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, and each purchaser of a beneficial interest therein, by accepting such
beneficial interest, agrees to treat such Notes as debt for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law in a proceeding of final determination. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying
Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Issuer or other parties thereto and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time pursuant to the terms and provisions of Article XII of the Base Indenture and Section [ ] of the [Series Name] Indenture Supplement.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Notes or a particular Class of Notes, on behalf of all of the Noteholders, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of any Noteholder. 

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 

[For any Note issued in definitive form] [This Note is issuable only in definitive form in denominations as provided in the [Series Name]
Indenture Supplement, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.] 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions herein or in the Indenture,
a Holder of this Note will have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal 

  
 Exhibit A-2-9 

 
of and interest on this Note on the Stated Maturity Date and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right will not be impaired without the consent of the Holder;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, the obligation to pay principal of or interest on this Note or any other amount payable to the Holder will be without recourse to the
Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Securities Intermediary or any Affiliate (other than the Issuer), officer, employee or director of any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay
principal of or interest on this Note or any other amount payable to the Holder will be limited to amounts available from the Trust Estate and subject to the priority of payment set forth in the Indenture. 

Notwithstanding any other terms of the Indenture or this Note, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are limited recourse obligations of the
Issuer, payable solely from the Trust Estate, and following realization of the Trust Estate and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to take any further steps to
recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder or thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No Holder of this Note shall have recourse for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this
Note or the Indenture or for any action or inaction of the Issuer against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, stockholder or incorporator of the Issuer or any of their successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Note or the
Indenture. The foregoing provisions of this Note shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Trust Estate, (ii) save as specifically
provided therein, constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Note or secured by the Indenture, or (iii) limit the right of any Person, to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding
or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Note or the Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

the entire unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest of the Notes shall be immediately due and payable on the date on which an Event of Default of the kind specified in clauses (b), (c) or (s) of Section 8.1 of the Base
Indenture occurs, and, if any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, either the Indenture Trustee or the requisite percentage of Noteholders of each Series, by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to
the Indenture Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare all Notes to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in the Indenture. All applicable principal payments on the Notes shall be made to the Holders of the Notes entitled

 The Trust Estate secures this Class

from the Trust Estate, as provided in the Indenture. The Issuer shall not otherwise be liable for payments on the Notes, and none of the owners, agents, officers, directors, employees, or successors or assigns of the Issuer shall be personally
liable for any amounts payable, or performance due, under the Notes or the Indenture. 
 Any payment of interest or principal on this Note
shall be paid on the applicable [Interim Payment Date and] Payment Date as set forth in the Indenture to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the Note Register as of the close of business on the

 [Any reduction in the Note Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any applicable [Interim Payment Date and] Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof,
whether or not noted hereon.] 
 [Any reduction in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance or the VFN Principal Balance, as the case may be, of
this Class [        ] Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made with respect thereto or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be binding upon all future Holders

Class [        ] Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments to the Issuer shall be binding upon the Issuer and shall inure to the benefit of all future Holders of this Class
[        ] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.] 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached hereto duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion
Program (“STAMP”), and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same [aggregate principal amount] [VFN Principal Balance] will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Issuer may require the Noteholder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange. 
 Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or a beneficial ownership interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or “control person”
within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or
Owner Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to
the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. 

  
 Exhibit A-3-9 

 Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note and each Note Owner by accepting a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note agrees that it will not at any time prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all the Notes, institute against the Issuer, or join
in any institution against the Issuer of, any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to
the Notes and this Indenture. 
 The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for United
States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Collateral. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, and each purchaser of a beneficial interest therein, by accepting such
beneficial interest, agrees to treat such Notes as debt for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law in a proceeding of final determination. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying
Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Issuer or other parties thereto and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time pursuant to the terms and provisions of Article XII of the Base Indenture and Section [    ] of the [Series Name]
Indenture Supplement. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Notes or a particular Class of Notes, on behalf of all of the Noteholders, or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more
predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of any Noteholder. 

The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein or in the Indenture, a Holder of this Note will have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on this Note on the Stated Maturity Date and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right will not be impaired without the consent of the Holder;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, the obligation to pay principal of or interest on this Note or any other amount payable to the Holder

  
 Exhibit A-3-10 

 
will be without recourse to the Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Securities Intermediary or any Affiliate (other than the Issuer),
officer, employee or director of any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay principal of or interest on this Note or any other amount payable to the Holder will be limited to amounts available from the Trust Estate and subject to the
priority of payment set forth in the Indenture. 
 Notwithstanding any other terms of the Indenture or this Note, the obligations of the
Issuer hereunder are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from the Trust Estate, and following realization of the Trust Estate and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Holder
hereof shall not be entitled to take any further steps to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder or thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No Holder of this Note shall have recourse
for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Note or the Indenture or for any action or inaction of the Issuer against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, stockholder or incorporator of the Issuer or any of their successors or
assigns for any amounts payable under this Note or the Indenture. The foregoing provisions of this Note shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is
part of the Trust Estate, (ii) save as specifically provided therein, constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Note or secured by the Indenture, or (iii) limit the right of any Person,
to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Note or the Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if
obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

Indenture. 
 Any payment of interest or principal on this Note shall be paid on the applicable [Interim Payment Date and] Payment Date as
set forth in the Indenture to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the Note Register as of the close of business on the related Record Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the

 [Any reduction in the Note Balance of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes)
effected by any payments made on any applicable [Interim Payment Date and] Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof,
whether or not noted hereon.] 
 [Any reduction in the Maximum VFN Principal Balance or the VFN Principal Balance, as the case may be, of
this Class [        ] Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made with respect thereto or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be binding upon all future Holders

Class [        ] Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments to the Issuer shall be binding upon the Issuer and shall inure to the benefit of all future Holders of this Class
[        ] Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon.] 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form attached hereto duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion
Program (“STAMP”), and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized denominations and in the same [aggregate principal amount] [VFN Principal Balance] will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Issuer may require the Noteholder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange. 
 Each Noteholder, by acceptance of a Note or a beneficial ownership interest in a Note, covenants and agrees that
no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in their individual capacities, (ii) any owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or “control person”
within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or
Owner Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed and except that any such partner, owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to
the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. 

  
 Exhibit A-4-8 

 Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note and each Note Owner by accepting a Note or a beneficial
interest in a Note agrees that it will not at any time prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect, after the payment in full of all the Notes, institute against the Issuer, or join
in any institution against the Issuer of, any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to
the Notes and this Indenture. 
 The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Note is issued with the intention that, for United
States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Notes will qualify as indebtedness secured by the Collateral. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, and each purchaser of a beneficial interest therein, by accepting such
beneficial interest, agrees to treat such Notes as debt for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law in a proceeding of final determination. 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying
Agent and any agent of the Issuer, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the Indenture) is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar, the Paying Agent or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Issuer or other parties thereto and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time pursuant to the terms and provisions of Article XII of the Base Indenture and Section
[        ] of the [Series Name] Indenture Supplement. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes representing specified percentages of the Outstanding Notes or a particular
Class of Notes, on behalf of all of the Noteholders, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the
consent of any Noteholder. 
 The term “Issuer” as used in this Note includes any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

 [For any Note issued in definitive form] [This Note is issuable only in definitive form in denominations as provided in the [Series Name]
Indenture Supplement, subject to certain limitations therein set forth.] 
 Notwithstanding any other provisions herein or in the Indenture,
a Holder of this Note will have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal 

  
 Exhibit A-4-9 

 
of and interest on this Note on the Stated Maturity Date and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right will not be impaired without the consent of the Holder;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture to the contrary, the obligation to pay principal of or interest on this Note or any other amount payable to the Holder will be without recourse to the
Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Securities Intermediary or any Affiliate (other than the Issuer), officer, employee or director of any of them, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay
principal of or interest on this Note or any other amount payable to the Holder will be limited to amounts available from the Trust Estate and subject to the priority of payment set forth in the Indenture. 

Notwithstanding any other terms of the Indenture or this Note, the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are limited recourse obligations of the
Issuer, payable solely from the Trust Estate, and following realization of the Trust Estate and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to take any further steps to
recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder or thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No Holder of this Note shall have recourse for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this
Note or the Indenture or for any action or inaction of the Issuer against any officer, director, employee, shareholder, stockholder or incorporator of the Issuer or any of their successors or assigns for any amounts payable under this Note or the
Indenture. The foregoing provisions of this Note shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Trust Estate for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Trust Estate, (ii) save as specifically
provided therein, constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by this Note or secured by the Indenture, or (iii) limit the right of any Person, to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any proceeding
or in the exercise of any other remedy under this Note or the Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.

Re: $[            ] CHL GMSR Issuer Trust, MSR Collateralized Notes, Series
20        -        , Class 
 Reference is hereby made to
the Indenture, dated as of [            ], 20[        ] (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Indenture”), among CHL GMSR Issuer Trust, as Issuer, Caliber Home Loans, Inc., as Administrator and as Servicer, and Citibank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary, Pentalpha
Surveillance LLC, as credit manager, Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC, as Administrative Agent, and the “Administrative Agents” from time to time party thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings given to them in the Indenture. 

  
 Exhibit B-1-5 

 The undersigned (the “Transferee”) intends to purchase
$         Note Balance of Class     Notes (the “Notes”) from the Transferor named in the Transfer Certificate to which this Transferee Certification is attached. In connection
with the registration of the transfer of such Notes, the Transferee hereby executes and delivers to each of you this “Transferee Certification” in which the Transferee certifies to each of you the information set forth herein. 

1.     The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule
144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and has completed the form of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex A1 (if the Transferee is not a registered investment company) or
Annex A2 (if the Transferee is a registered investment company). The Transferee is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A. 

2.     The Transferee understands that the Notes have not been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or qualified
under any state securities laws and that no transfer may be made unless the Notes are registered under the 1933 Act and under applicable state law or unless the transfer complies with Section 6.5 of the Indenture and any provision in any
applicable Indenture Supplement. The Transferee further understands that neither the Transferor, the Administrator, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar is under any obligation to register the Notes or make an exemption from
such registration available. 
 3.     The Transferee is acquiring the Notes for its own account or for the account of a
“qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A, a “QIB”), and understands that such Notes may be resold, pledged or transferred only (a) to a person reasonably believed to be such a QIB that purchases for its own
account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (b) to a transferee that is a person that is not a U.S. person acquiring such interest in an
“offshore transaction” (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, if the transfer is otherwise made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other
relevant jurisdiction. In addition, such transfer may be subject to additional restrictions and is subject to compliance with certain procedures, as set forth in Section 6.5 of the Indenture referred to below and any provision in any applicable
Indenture Supplement. By its execution of this agreement, the Transferee agrees that it will not resell, pledge or transfer any of the Notes to anyone otherwise than in strict compliance with Rule 144A, or pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the 1933 Act and all applicable state securities laws, and in strict compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 6.5 of the Indenture. The Transferee will not attempt to transfer any or all of the Notes
pursuant to Rule 144A unless the Transferee offers and sells such Certificates only to QIBs or to offerees or purchasers that the Transferee and any person acting on behalf of the Transferee reasonably believe (as described in paragraph (d)(l) of
Rule 144A) is a QIB. 
 4.     The Transferee has been furnished with all information that it requested regarding (a)
the Notes and distributions thereon and (b) the Indenture. 
 5.     The Transferee has knowledge in financial and
business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision; and the
Transferee (or any account or which it is pursuing) is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes and can afford a complete loss of such investment. 

  
 Exhibit B-1-6 

 6.     The Transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined
in paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act. 
 7.     Either (i) the Transferee is not,
and is not acquiring, holding or transferring the Notes on behalf of or using assets of, an “employee benefit plan” as defined in section 3(3) of ERISA, a plan described in section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, an entity which is deemed to hold
the assets of any such employee benefit plan or plan pursuant to 29 C.F.R. section 2510.3-101 as modified by section 3(42) of ERISA (the “Plan Asset Regulations”), which employee benefit plan,
plan or entity is subject to Title I of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental, non-U.S., church or other plan which is subject to any U.S. federal, state, local or other law that is

treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the Plan Asset Regulations and agrees to so treat such Note and (C) the Transferee’s acquisition, holding and disposition of the Notes will satisfy the
requirements of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 (relating to transactions affected by a qualified professional asset manager), PTCE
90-1 (relating to investments by insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (relating to investments in bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (relating to transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 96-23 (relating to transactions directed by an
in-house professional asset manager) or the statutory prohibited transaction exemption for service providers set forth in section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or a similar
class, statutory or administrative exemption and will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406 of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental, non-U.S., church or other plan subject to Similar Law, will not violate any such substantially Similar Law). 

8.     If the Transferee is acquiring the Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it represents
that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties and agreements on behalf of each such account. 

All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture, pursuant to which
the Notes were issued.

may have included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee’s direction. However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a

with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account) in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a third party that at the time is a

such third party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of “qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A. 

The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Transferee’s purchase of the Notes will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as provided above, the
Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

2.    The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule
144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), because (a) the Transferee is an investment company (a “Registered Investment Company”) registered under the Investment Company Act of

securities referred to in paragraph 4 below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).

more Registered Investment Companies except for a unit investment trust whose assets consist solely of shares of one or more Registered Investment Companies (provided that each series of a “series company,” as defined in Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act, shall be deemed to be a separate investment company) that have the same investment adviser (or, in the case of a unit investment trust, the same depositor) or investment advisers (or
depositors) that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority-owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority-owned subsidiary of the other). 

4.    The term “securities” as used herein does not include (a) securities of issuers that are affiliated
with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, (b) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (c) loan participations, (d) repurchase agreements, (e) securities owned but subject to
a repurchase agreement and (f) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.

 Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, dated as of
[            ], 20[    ] (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among CHL GMSR Issuer Trust, as

 Exhibit B-2-6 

 The undersigned (the “Transferee”) intends to purchase
$         Note Balance of Class         Notes (the “Notes”) from the Transferor named in the Transfer Certificate to which this Transferee Certification is
attached. In connection with the registration of the transfer of such Notes, the Transferee hereby executes and delivers to each of you this “Transferee Certification” in which the Transferee certifies to each of you the information set
forth herein. 
 1.    The Transferee (i) is acquiring such Notes in an offshore transaction in accordance with
Rule 904 of Regulation S, (ii) is acquiring such Notes for its own account, (iii) is not acquiring, and has not entered into any discussions regarding its acquisition of, such Notes while it is in the United States of America or any of its
territories or possessions, (iv) understands that such Notes are being sold without registration under the Securities Act by reason of an exemption that depends, in part, on the accuracy of these representations, (v) understands that such
Notes may not, absent an applicable exemption, be transferred without registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and the laws of any other applicable jurisdiction and (vi) understands that
prior to the end of the Distribution Compliance Period, interests in a Regulation S Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

2.    The Transferee understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot
be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in Rule 902(k) promulgated under the Securities Act) unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. Accordingly, the
certificates representing the Notes will bear a legend stating that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth certain of the restrictions on transfer of the Notes. The Transferee understands that the Issuer has no
obligation to register the Notes under the Securities Act or to comply with the requirements for any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 

3.    The Transferee understands that the Notes (or any interest therein) may be resold, pledged or transferred only
(a) to a person whom the Transferee reasonably believes after due inquiry is, and who has certified that it is, a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to
whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (b) to a transferee that is a non-U.S. person acquiring such interest in an “offshore
transaction” (as defined in Regulation S) in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, if the transfer is otherwise made in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or any other relevant
jurisdiction. In addition, such transfer may be subject to additional restrictions and is subject to compliance with certain procedures, as set forth in Section 6.5 of the Indenture referred to above. 

4.    The Transferee has been furnished with all information that it requested regarding (a) the Notes and distributions
thereon and (b) the Indenture. 
 5.    The Transferee has knowledge in financial and business matters and is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision; and the Transferee (or any account or
which it is pursuing) is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Notes and can afford a complete loss of such investment. 

  
 Exhibit B-2-7 

 6.    Either (i) the Transferee is not, and is not acquiring,
holding or transferring the Notes on behalf of or with assets of, an “employee benefit plan” as defined in section 3(3) of ERISA, a plan described in section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, an entity which is deemed to hold the assets of any such
employee benefit plan or plan pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 as modified by section 3(42) of ERISA (the “Plan Asset Regulations”), which employee benefit plan, plan or entity is
subject to Title I of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental, non-U.S., church or other plan which is subject to any U.S. federal, state, local or other law that is substantially similar to Title
I of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”), or (ii) (A) as of the date of the transfer or purchase, it believes that such Note is properly treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of
the Plan Asset Regulations and agrees to so treat such Note and (B) the Transferee’s acquisition, holding and disposition of the Notes will satisfy the requirements of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 (relating to transactions affected by a qualified professional asset manager), PTCE 90-1 (relating to investments by insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (relating to investments in bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (relating to transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 96-23 (relating to transactions directed by an in-house professional asset manager) or the statutory prohibited transaction exemption for service providers set forth in
Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code or a similar class, statutory or administrative exemption and will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406
of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental, non-U.S., church or other plan subject to Similar Law, will not violate any such substantially Similar Law). 

All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture, pursuant to which
the Notes were issued.

20[        ]-[        ] Notes (the “Series 20[        ]-[        ] Reserve
Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account, for the benefit of the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Noteholders. For the avoidance of doubt, if the portion of
Available Funds (including the amounts on deposit in the Note Payment Account) allocable to the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes or the Series Available Funds in
respect of the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes, as applicable, on any Payment Date is not sufficient to pay the full Interest Amount and any Cumulative Interest

Issuer in the case of requests during the Revolving Period for the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes). The Note Balance of the Series
20[        ]-[        ] Notes may be increased from time to time on certain Funding Dates in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 4.3 of the Base
Indenture, but not in excess of the related [Maximum VFN] Principal Balance. 
 (c)    Any payments of principal
allocated to the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes during a Full Amortization Period shall be applied to the Class

amount of such Margin Call Payment and (y) no more than the unpaid principal balance of the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes. Such Additional Note Payments
(i) shall be applied to reduce the [VFN] Principal Balance of the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes and (ii) shall not be subject to the requirements of
Section 6 with respect to optional redemptions.] 

  
 Exhibit E-8 

 Section 6.    Optional Redemption. 

The Issuer may, at any time, subject to Section 13.1 of the Base Indenture, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders of the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes, redeem in whole or in part (so long as, in the
case of any partial redemption, (i) such redemption is funded using the proceeds of the issuance and sale of one or more new Classes of Notes or from any other amount received by the Issuer pursuant to the PC Repurchase Agreement other than
Collections on the MSRs, and (ii) the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes are redeemed on a pro rata basis based on their related Note Balances), and/or

entered into without consent of the Noteholders of the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes or of any other Notes issued under the Base Indenture (but with satisfaction
of other requirements for amendments entered into without Noteholder consent). Any Notes issued in replacement for the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes will have the
same rights and privileges as the Class of Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes that were refinanced with the related proceeds thereof; provided, such

Section 7.    Optional Extension of Stated Maturity Date. 

The Administrator, on behalf of the Issuer, by means of a request delivered to the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days prior to
any twelve (12) month anniversary of the date of this Indenture Supplement beginning on [        ], 20[        ] (each such date, an “Anniversary

Issuer Tax Opinion (unless delivery of such Issuer Tax Opinion is waived by the Series Required Noteholders), whereupon the Stated Maturity Date shall be extended for such twelve (12) month period; provided, however, if the Stated
Maturity Date is not extended on an Anniversary Date (such date, an “Amortization Date”), the Stated Maturity Date shall be fixed at twelve (12) months from the Amortization Date. The Stated Maturity Date of the Series
20[        ]-[        ] Notes cannot be extended past the Stated Maturity Date for any Outstanding Series of Variable Funding Notes. 

Section 8.    Determination of Note Interest Rate and LIBOR. 

(a)    At least one (1) Business Day prior to each Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall calculate the Note
Interest Rate for the related Interest Accrual Period and the Interest Payment Amount for the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes for the upcoming Payment Date, and
include a report of such amount in the related Payment Date Report. 

  
 Exhibit E-9 

 (b)    On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee will

Trustee’s subsequent calculation of the Note Interest Rate and the Interest Payment Amount on the Series 20[        ]-[        ] Notes for the relevant Interest
Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.

RE:     Risk Retention Certification 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to
(i) the Indenture, dated as of [            ], 20[    ] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Base
Indenture”), among CHL GMSR Issuer Trust (the “Issuer”), Citibank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary (the “Indenture Trustee”), Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
(“Caliber”), Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (the “Administrative Agent”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC (the “Credit Manager”), and (ii) the Series
[                    ] Indenture Supplement, dated as of [            ],
20[    ] (the “Series [                    ] Indenture Supplement,” and together with the Base Indenture, the
“Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, Caliber, as Servicer and as Administrator, and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter agreement shall have the same meanings as
specified therefor in the Indenture. 
 In connection with, and in consideration of the agreements contained in the Indenture, as of the
date first above written but only if and to the extent that the transactions effected under the Note Purchase Agreement constitute a “securitization transaction” under (and as defined in) Articles 404–410 of the European Union Capital
Requirements Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 575/2013), Section 5 of Chapter III of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 231/2013 and Article 135(2) of the European Union Solvency II Directive 2009/138/EC (as supplemented by Articles 254-257 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2015/35) (the “Capital Requirements Regulation”), which impose a requirement that an originator, sponsor or original lender of such securitization
has explicitly disclosed that it will retain, on an ongoing basis, a material net economic interest which, in any event, may not be less than 5% (the “Retention Requirement”): 

 

	 	(a)	 Caliber certifies to the Issuer on behalf of each holder of a Series
[                    ] Note that: (i) as an originator for the purposes of the Retention Requirements, it has held on an on-going basis, a material net economic interest in the securitization transaction contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, which is not less than 5% of the aggregate nominal value of the Participation
Certificates (the “Retained Economic Interest”) measured at the time of each acquisition of a Participation 

  
 Exhibit F-1 

	 	
Certificate by the Issuer; (ii) the Retained Economic Interest takes the form of a first loss tranche in accordance with paragraph 1(d) of Article 405 of the Capital Requirements Regulation,
as represented by, initially, Caliber’s direct ownership of the Owner Trust Certificate and the Issuer’s associated rights to residual cash flow under the Base Indenture; (iii) it has held up to 100% of the membership interest in the
Owner Trust Certificate; and (iv) the aggregate capital contributions made by Caliber with respect to the ownership interests in the Issuer have represented at least 5.0% of the aggregate nominal value of the Participation Certificates measured
at the time of origination as described in (i) above; and 

  

	 	(b)	 the Issuer certifies to each holder of a Series
[                    ] Note for purposes of the Retention Requirements that it has not sold or entered into any credit risk mitigation, short
positions or any other hedges or otherwise sought to mitigate its credit risk with respect to Retained Economic Interest or the Participation Certificates (except as permitted by the Capital Requirements Regulation). 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this certification to be executed by its duly authorized representative as of the date first
above written.
