§ 1721(g) and any implementing regulations; (ii) the terms and conditions of that certain Acknowledgment Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2016, with respect to the Security Interest, by and among Ginnie Mae, Debtor and

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. 
 Section 2.05 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Pledgor shall not (a) change the location of its
chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 4.15 or (b) change its name or identity, 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 Collateral with the same
or better priority. 
 Section 2.06 Buyer’s Appointment as
Attorney-in-Fact. (a) Pledgor 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 Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or in its own name, from time to time
in Buyer’s discretion if an Event of Default or Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all 

  
 -8- 

 
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, Pledgor hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Pledgor, without assent by, but with notice to, Pledgor to do the following: 

(i) in the name of Pledgor 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 Collateral 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 Collateral whenever payable; 
 (ii) to pay or
discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; 
 (iii) to the extent permitted under
the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement, and under the Servicing Contracts and the Acknowledgment Agreement, to request that MSRs be transferred to another servicer approved by Ginnie Mae and perform (without assuming or being deemed to have assumed
any of the obligations of Servicer thereunder) all aspects of each Servicing Contract to which the Purchased MSR Excess Spread relates; 

(iv) to request distribution to Buyer of sale proceeds or any applicable contract termination fees arising from the sale or
termination of such MSRs to the extent of the Purchased MSR Excess Spread and remaining after satisfaction of Servicer’s relevant obligations to Ginnie Mae (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 set forth in such Servicing Contract), including costs and expenses related to any such sale or transfer of such MSRs and other amounts due for unmet obligations of Servicer to Ginnie Mae under the
Ginnie Mae Contract; 
 (v) to deal with third parties, including, without limitation, investors, guarantors and any and all
subservicers and master servicers in respect of any of the Collateral in the same manner and with the same effect as if done by Pledgor; 

(vi) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral 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
Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any
court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Pledgor with respect to any Collateral;
(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;

  
 -9- 

 
and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Pledgor’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 Collateral and Buyer’s
Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Pledgor might do. 
 (b) Pledgor 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) Pledgor also authorizes Buyer, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in
Section 2.08 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral. 

(d) The powers conferred on Buyer are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Collateral 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 Pledgor for any
act or failure to act hereunder, except for Buyer’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (e) In addition to the foregoing,
Pledgor agrees to execute a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) in favor of Buyer in the form of Exhibit A hereto to be delivered on the date hereof. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, any appointment set forth in this
Section 2.06, as well as Buyer’s exercise (or purported exercise) of any right, power or authority given by Pledgor hereunder, shall be subject to the Ginnie Mae Contract and the Acknowledgment Agreement. 

Section 2.07 Proceeds. 

(a) If an Event of Default under the PC Repurchase Agreement shall occur and be continuing, (i) all proceeds of Collateral received by
Pledgor consisting of cash, checks and other liquid assets readily convertible to cash items shall be held by Pledgor in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Pledgor be remitted to the
Dedicated Account in the exact form received by Pledgor (duly endorsed by Pledgor to Buyer, if required) and (ii) any and all such proceeds received by Buyer (whether from Pledgor 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 remitted in accordance with Repurchase Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer shall be solely responsible for remitting
to the Pledgor any amounts owed the Pledgor. In no event shall the Buyer be accountable to the Pledgor for any excess proceeds, which the Pledgor acknowledges, may be remitted by the Buyer in accordance with the Repurchase Documents. 

  
 -10- 

 (b) Each of Pledgor and Servicer acknowledges and agrees that all amounts with respect to
Purchased MSR Excess Spread and related MSRs shall be remitted by Servicer to the Dedicated Account to be applied by Buyer in accordance with the terms of the PC Repurchase Agreement. 

Section 2.08 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any or all of
the following rights and remedies: 
 (a) 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, any rights otherwise available to it under applicable federal, state, foreign and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including,
without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. 
 (b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer may seek the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee, or similar official in respect of any of the Collateral. 

(c) 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 Pledgor 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 Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any
part thereof (or contract to do any 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 Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. 

(d) Buyer may demand that Pledgor assemble the Collateral and make it available to Buyer at places which Buyer shall reasonably select,
whether at Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. 
 (e) 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 Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Buyer hereunder, including without limitation 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 

  
 -11- 

 
amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Buyer account
for the surplus, if any, to the Servicer as agent for the Pledgor. 
 (f) To the extent that there are any excess proceeds resulting from
any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral by Buyer after satisfaction of all Obligations, Buyer shall remit such excess to the Servicer. 

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor 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 Collateral shall be required by
law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. 
 (h)
Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Pledgor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Pledgor might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by
judicial process. Buyer also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Pledgor might otherwise have to the Obligations, or any guaranty thereof, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral or from any other election of remedies. Pledgor recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. 

(i) Pledgor shall not be liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay
the Obligations, it being understood that the sole recourse of the Buyer to the Pledgor hereunder for the Obligations (other than for Pledgor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be to the Collateral pledged by the Pledgor hereunder.

 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Repurchase Documents, the remedies set forth in this
Section 2.08 shall be subject to the Ginnie Mae Contract and the Acknowledgment Agreement. 
 (k) No
failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay by Buyer in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Repurchase
Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer may exercise at any time after
the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing one or more remedies permitted hereunder, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies permitted hereunder. 

  
 -12- 

 Section 2.09 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. Buyer’s
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to require the
Indenture Trustee to deal with it in the same manner as the Indenture Trustee 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 Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise. 

Section 2.10 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are
irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest. 
 Section 2.11 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 PC Repurchase Documents, and (b) the occurrence of the Termination Date, Buyer shall release its security interest in any remaining Collateral
hereunder and shall promptly execute and deliver to the Subordinated Lender such documents or instruments as the Subordinated Lender shall reasonably request to evidence such release; provided that, such release shall not be required until such time
as the Acknowledgment Agreement is terminated. 
 Section 2.12 Reinstatement. All security interests created by this Article
II shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Pledgor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Pledgor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as if
such release had not been made. 
 Section 2.13 Use of Collateral. Buyer and Pledgor hereby acknowledge and agree that should
any Collateral be liquidated or foreclosed upon by Buyer, Buyer shall apply the Proceeds of such Collateral to the Obligations. 

Section 2.14 Intent. 

(a) The parties hereto recognize that this Agreement constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit
enhancement” that is “related to” the Repurchase Agreement and transactions thereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and/or 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement
constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

 ARTICLE III 

RECOURSE; SUBORDINATION 

Section 3.01 Recourse. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained or implied herein or in any other Repurchase
Document, Buyer’s recourse against Pledgor in order to satisfy the Obligations shall be limited to the Collateral that is the subject of this Agreement and its recourse as against the Pledgor Guarantor shall be as more particularly described in
the Pledgor Guaranty Agreement; provided, that such limitation shall not extend to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Pledgor. 

Section 3.02 Subordination in Connection with Financing. 

(a) It is anticipated that in connection with the transactions contemplated by the PC Repurchase Documents, that (x) the Pledgor has
purchased the Collateral from the Servicer subject to the first priority Lien of the Buyer and (y) Pledgor hereby reaffirms such lien and pledges its interest in such Collateral hereunder to the Buyer. In connection with the foregoing Pledgor
acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Collateral (including without limitation its security interest in the Purchased MSR Excess Spread and pursuant to the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement and any other collateral purchased
by Pledgor thereunder and in which a security interest is granted to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.01) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer under the PC Repurchase Documents.
In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to Pledgor thereunder or under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement, applicable law or otherwise, Pledgor shall not, directly or indirectly, exercise any remedies
available to it under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement or at law or equity for ninety-one (91) days following the date that all Obligations are paid in full under the Repurchase Documents;
provided, that nothing in the foregoing shall prohibit Pledgor from receiving, payments with respect to the obligations under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement as, and in the manner, contemplated therein, but subject to the prior rights
of the Buyer hereunder and under the Repurchase Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance shall the Buyer succeed to any liabilities or obligations of Pledgor under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement. 

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Pledgor agrees to not assert any objection to, and shall be deemed to have otherwise consented to, a
disposition of any assets subject to the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement and subject to the Repurchase Documents during an Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar bankruptcy law) if Buyer has consented to such disposition. 
 (c) If an Act of
Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer occurs, the Pledgor agrees not to contest (or support any other Person contesting) any request by Buyer for adequate protection, or any objection by Buyer to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on
Buyer claiming a lack of adequate protection. 

  
 -14- 

 (d) Until the obligations under the Repurchase Documents are paid in full, the Pledgor shall not
oppose any request by Buyer for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer. 
 (e)
Pledgor shall not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by Buyer for allowance and payment in any Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, of obligations under the Repurchase Documents consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs or other
charges to the extent of the value of Buyer’s lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims on the assets that are the subject of this Agreement or the PC Repurchase Agreement, without regard to the existence of a lien, encumbrance, pledge or other
claims of Pledgor applicable to the obligations of the other parties to the Repurchase Documents. 
 (f) Pledgor shall not seek in any Act
of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as Buyer and shall not oppose any pleading or motion by Buyer advocating that Buyer and Pledgor and the Servicer should be treated as separate classes of
creditors. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Collateral are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer under the PC Repurchase Agreement and under this Agreement. 

Section 3.03 Rights under PMH Repurchase Agreement. 

(a) Pledgor acknowledges and agrees notwithstanding any right to repurchase the Purchased MSR Excess Spread PC from PLS granted pursuant to
the PMH Repurchase Agreement, Pledgor may not exercise such repurchase right as long as the Purchased MSR Excess Spread PC is registered in the name of the Buyer or otherwise subject to the PC Repurchase Agreement. 

(b) In the event that PLS repurchases the Purchased MSR Excess Spread PC from Buyer, Pledgor may repurchase the Purchased MSR Excess Spread PC
from PLS pursuant to the PMH Repurchase Agreement; however, until the Obligations have been paid in full and the PC Repurchase Agreement terminated, the rights of Pledgor in the related Purchased MSR Excess Spread shall be subordinate to the
rights of the Buyer in the related MSRs and accordingly, Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that its rights to the Purchased MSR Excess Spread may be completely eliminated upon the exercise of remedies by Buyer under the PC Repurchase Agreement or the
exercise of remedies by the Indenture Trustee under the Acknowledgment Agreement or the Indenture, and Pledgor shall have no rights, remedies or recourse against the Buyer for such actions. 

ARTICLE IV

requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses,

regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over Pledgor, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement, obligation to which
Pledgor is a party.

statements or certificates of Pledgor 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 Pledgor or any Affiliate or officer thereof, negotiation,

Section 9.06 Severability. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other
provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, or any other Repurchase Document 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 9.07 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 9.08
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. This Agreement may be executed by signature(s) transmitted by facsimile. 
 Section 9.09
Hypothecation or Pledge of Collateral. Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Collateral and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with all or a portion of the Collateral or
otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating all or a portion of the Collateral, so long as such pledge, re-pledge, transfer, hypothecation or
re-hypothecation is not in violation of the Acknowledgment Agreement. 
 Section 9.10 Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment. (a) This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and Pledgor and shall be held by each party
hereto, as applicable in strict confidence and shall 

  
 -27- 

 
not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer or Pledgor, except for (i) disclosure to Buyer’s, Pledgor’s direct and indirect Affiliates and
Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court, other
regulatory body or in connection with enforcement of rights and remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Repurchase Documents, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all
Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transaction, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transaction, 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 Pledgor may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer
or any pricing terms 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 Transaction and is not relevant to understanding the
federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transaction, without the prior written consent of Buyer. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, Pledgor shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Collateral and/or any
applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Pledgor 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 “Act”), and Pledgor agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Pledgor 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 Act) of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which Pledgor 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. Pledgor represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as
now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, Pledgor will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that the providing party 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 Pledgor. Pledgor shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic
personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to Pledgor by Buyer or such Affiliate. Pledgor shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of
receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual. 
 Section 9.11 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Pledgor, any such notice being expressly waived by Pledgor to the extent
permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Pledgor or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any of its 

  
 -28- 

 
Affiliates 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 Pledgor), 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 or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Pledgor or any
Affiliate thereof. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Pledgor 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 9.12 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 (as such terms are defined in the Indenture). 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 (as defined in the Indenture). 

Section 9.13 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) 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.

common law trust and not a separate legal entity under Delaware law. In furtherance thereof, all parties hereto are put on notice and hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by Wilmington Savings Fund
Society, FSB, d/b/a Christiana Trust (“Bank”), not individually or personally but solely as Owner Trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the governing instrument of the
Issuer, (b) each of the representations, covenants, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, covenants, undertakings and agreements by Bank but is made and intended
for the purpose of binding only the Issuer and its assets (which are separate and distinct from the individual assets of Bank), (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on Bank, individually or personally, to perform
any agreement, undertaking or covenant, either expressed or implied, contained herein of the Issuer Subsidiary, 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) Bank has not verified or made any investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations and warranties made by the Issuer in this Agreement and such representations and warranties are thus solely a means of
allocating risk among the parties and (e) under no circumstances shall Bank be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be 

  
 -29- 

 
liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, undertaking, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by Issuer under this Agreement or any other related documents. All
recourse of the parties shall be limited to the Trust Estate, if any, of the Issuer.

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, Pledgor 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 Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or in its
own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the 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 the Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Pledgor, without assent by, but with
notice to, Pledgor, if permitted under the terms of the Agreement, to do the following: 
 (i) in the name of Pledgor 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 (i) all Purchased MSR Excess Spread arising under or related to any
Servicing Contract; (ii) all rights to payment of amounts due under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement on account of, or related to, the Purchased MSR Excess Spread; (iii) all Assets arising under or relating to the Master Spread

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, without limitation, all of Pledgor’s rights, title and interest in and under the Purchased MSR Excess Spread and
Servicing Contracts); and (viii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (any and all property listed in clauses (i) through (viii), collectively, the
“Collateral”) 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
Collateral whenever payable; 
 (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral; 
 (iii) to the extent permitted under the Master Spread Acquisition Agreement, to request that MSRs in respect
of Mortgage Loans owned by any other investor or guarantor be transferred to Buyer or to another servicer approved by Ginnie Mae or such other investor or guarantor (as the case may be) and perform (without assuming or being deemed to have assumed
any of the obligations of Servicer thereunder) all aspects of each servicing contract for which the Purchased MSR Excess Spread is Collateral; 

  
 Exhibit A-1 

 (iv) to request distribution to Buyer of sale proceeds or any applicable contract
termination fees arising from the sale or termination of such MSRs to the extent of the Purchased MSR Excess Spread and remaining after satisfaction of Servicer’s relevant obligations to Ginnie Mae or such other investor (as the case may be),
including costs and expenses related to any such sale or transfer of such MSRs and other amounts due for unmet obligations of Servicer to Ginnie Mae or such other investor (as the case may be) under applicable Ginnie Mae Contracts or such other
investor’s or guarantor’s contract; 
 (v) to deal with third parties, including, without limitation, investors,
guarantors and any and all subservicers and master servicers in respect of any of the Collateral in the same manner and with the same effect as if done by Pledgor; 

(vi) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral 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 Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity
in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Pledgor with respect to any
Collateral; (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 Collateral as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Pledgor’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 Collateral and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of the Agreement, all as fully and effectively
as Pledgor might do. 
 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 the Agreement is terminated. 
 Pledgor also authorizes Buyer, at any time and from time to time, to
execute, in connection with any sale provided for in the Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral. 

The powers conferred on Buyer are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Collateral 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 Pledgor for any
act or failure to act hereunder, except for Buyer’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  
 Exhibit A-2 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, any
appointment set forth in this power of attorney, as well as Buyer’s exercise (or purported exercise) of any right, power or authority given by Pledgor hereunder, shall be subject to the Ginnie Mae Contract and the Acknowledgment Agreement. 

Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Agreement. 

TO INDUCE ANY THIRD PARTY TO ACT HEREUNDER, PLEDGOR HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY THIRD PARTY RECEIVING A DULY EXECUTED COPY OR FACSIMILE OF THIS
INSTRUMENT MAY ACT HEREUNDER, AND THAT REVOCATION OR TERMINATION HEREOF SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE AS TO SUCH THIRD PARTY UNLESS AND UNTIL ACTUAL NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH REVOCATION OR TERMINATION SHALL HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY SUCH THIRD PARTY, AND BUYER
ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF BUYER’S ASSIGNS, HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AGAINST SUCH THIRD PARTY BY REASON OF SUCH THIRD PARTY HAVING RELIED ON THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT.
