2 The Buyers’ Commitments

2.1. The Buyers’ Commitments to Purchase . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred that the Administrative Agent has not declared in writing to have been cured or waived (or, if one has occurred and not been so declared cured or waived, if all of the Buyers, in their sole discretion and with or without waiving such Default or Event of Default, have elected in writing that Transactions under this Agreement shall continue nonetheless), the Buyers agree to make revolving purchases of Eligible Loans on a servicing released basis through and including the Termination Date, so long as the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price does not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Commitment and so long as each Buyer’s Committed Sum is not exceeded. The Buyers’ respective Committed Sums and the Maximum Aggregate Commitment are set forth on Schedule BC in effect at the relevant time, as it may have been amended or restated pursuant to this Agreement. Upon the joinder of additional Buyer(s), if any, the parties agree to approve in writing revised

and updated versions of Schedule BC . The fractions to be applied to determine the respective Funding Shares of the Buyers for any day are their respective Committed Sums divided by the Maximum Aggregate Commitment for that day. Each Buyer shall be obligated to fund only that Buyer’s own Funding Share of any Transaction requested, and no Buyer shall be obligated to the Seller or any other Buyer to fund a greater share of any Transaction. No Buyer shall be excused from funding its applicable Funding Share of any Transaction merely because any other Buyer has failed or refused to fund its relevant Funding Share of that or any other Transaction. If any Buyer fails to fund its Funding Share of any Transaction, the Administrative Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion) may choose to fund the amount that such Nonfunding Buyer failed or refused to fund, or the Administrative Agent as a Buyer and the other Buyers who are willing to do so shall have the right (but no obligation) to do so in the proportion that the Committed Sum of each bears to the total Committed Sums of all Buyers that have funded (or are funding) their own Funding Shares of that Transaction and that are willing to fund part of the Funding Share of such Nonfunding Buyer. Should the Administrative Agent and/or any other Buyer(s) fund any or all of the Nonfunding Buyer’s Funding Share of any Transaction, then the Nonfunding Buyer shall have the obligation to deliver such amount to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Buyer(s) who funded it) in immediately available funds on the next Business Day. Regardless of whether the other Buyers fund the Funding Share of the Nonfunding Buyer, the respective ownership interests of the Buyers in the Transaction shall be adjusted as provided in the definition of “Pro Rata.” The obligations of Buyers hereunder are several and not joint.

2.2. Expiration or Termination of the Commitments . Unless extended in writing or terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement, the Buyers’ Commitments (including U.S. Bank’s Swing Line Commitment) shall automatically expire at the close of business on the Termination Date, without any requirement for notice or any other action by the Administrative Agent, any of the Buyers or any other Person.

2.3. Request for Increase in Maximum Aggregate Commitment . The Seller may from time to time by giving advanced written notice of at least two Business Days to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit G hereto request to the Administrative Agent for an increase in the Maximum Aggregate Commitment in increments of $25,000,000, with a minimum increase of $25,000,000 to a specified amount up to $550,000,000 for a period for such increase being designated by the Seller (but not less than 30 days, or if less, the period remaining until the Termination Date); provided that no Default has occurred that has not been cured before it has become an Event of Default, and no Event of Default has occurred that the Administrative Agent has not declared in writing to have been waived or cured. Upon receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent may request one or more existing Buyers or new Buyers (which new Buyers are acceptable to the Seller) to provide increased Commitments to finance all or a portion of the requested increase. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller of such new and existing Buyers’ responses to requests for increased or new Commitments. Following such notice, to achieve the full amount of a requested increase, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, the Seller may invite additional new Buyers to provide such increase. Any increase under this Section 2.3 shall be in the sole discretion of the Agent and the Buyers, and no Buyer will have any obligation to increase its Committed Sum. The consent of the Agent and the Buyers to an increase under this Section 2.3 shall be evidenced by the Agent providing to the parties to this Agreement an updated Schedule BC. If an increase in the Maximum Aggregate Commitment is achieved, then the Pro Rata ownership interest in the Purchased Loans

of each Buyer shall, following funding by the Buyers increasing their Commitment Sums or by the new Buyers, automatically be adjusted proportionately.

2.4. Swing Line Commitment . In addition to its Commitment under Section 2.1 , U.S. Bank agrees to fund revolving Swing Line Transactions for aggregate Purchase Prices which do not on any day exceed the Swing Line Limit for the purpose of initially funding requested Transactions.

2.5. Swing Line Transactions .

(3) so long as the Swing Line Limit is not exceeded;

(4) provided that the Mortgage Loan Transmission File for the proposed Transaction is received by U.S. Bank by no later than 3:15 p.m. on the Business Day such Transaction is to be funded; and

(b) All Swing Line Transactions shall have a Price Differential from the date funded until the date repaid and the Repurchase Price therefor shall be due and payable to U.S. Bank at the same rate(s) as would be applicable if such Swing Line Transactions had been funded as Regular Transactions by all Buyers, instead of having been funded by U.S. Bank alone as Swing Line Transactions.

(c) Each Swing Line Transaction shall be re-funded on its Swing Line Refunding Due Date by the Administrative Agent’s paying over to U.S. Bank, and U.S. Bank’s applying against such Swing Line Transaction, an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Transaction funded by all of the Buyers in their Funding Shares of such Purchase Price on that day against the same Mortgage Loan Transmission File that was initially funded as a Swing Line Transaction at which time such Transaction shall be deemed to be a Regular Transaction, provided that if the Seller shall not have delivered a new Mortgage Loan Transmission File to the Administrative Agent and the Custodian for such Regular Transaction, then the initial Pricing Rate applicable thereto shall be the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Margin as determined by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Accrued Price Differential Due . All accrued Price Differential on Swing Line Transactions shall be due and payable by the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to U.S. Bank) on the Price Differential payment due date (determined under Section 5.3 ) next following the date of the Swing Line Transaction.

2.6. Optional Reduction or Termination of Buyers’ Commitments . The Seller may, at any time, without premium or penalty, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, reduce or terminate the Maximum Aggregate Commitment, subject to the following conditions: (i) any such reduction in the Maximum Aggregate Commitment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all the Buyers of $25,000,000, or, if more, in an integral multiple of $25,000,000; (ii) the Seller may reduce the Maximum Aggregate Commitment no more than once each calendar quarter, (iii) at no time may the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price exceed the Maximum Aggregate Commitment after giving effect to any reduction in the Maximum Aggregate Commitment; and (iv) unless terminated in full, the Maximum Aggregate Commitment shall not be reduced to less than $100,000,000. Upon termination of the Buyers’ Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6 , the Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Buyers the full amount of all outstanding Obligations under the Repurchase Documents.

elect to do so, then the Buyers shall fund such requested Transaction as a Regular Transaction on the next succeeding Business Day after the Mortgage Loan Transmission Files are received by the Administrative Agent, provided that all conditions to its funding (including the requirements of Section 2.5 , this Section 3 and Section 14 ) are then satisfied.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Custody Agreement or any of the exhibits and schedules hereto or thereto, in no event shall funds for the purchase of any Mortgage Loan be disbursed directly to the Sellers; rather, (i) funds for the purchase of Mortgage Loans originated by any Seller shall be disbursed to the applicable title agent or attorney through which such Mortgage Loans are closed and (ii) funds for the purchase of Mortgage Loans that have been originated by a correspondent lender or any other third party shall be disbursed only to such originator and only if the Basic Papers delivered to the Custodian were accompanied by a bailee letter from the originator that included wire transfer instructions; provided, however, that Margin Excess may be remitted directly to Sellers in accordance with Section 6.1(b) .

Notwithstanding any contrary or inconsistent provision of this Section 5 , the Pricing Rate to be multiplied by the Purchase Prices of all Past Due Purchased Loans shall be the Past Due Rate from (and including) (a) the day immediately following the Repurchase Date for each such Past Due Purchased Loan and until (but excluding) the date on which such Past Due Purchased Loan is repurchased by transfer to the Administrative Agent (for Pro Rata distribution to the Buyers) of its full Repurchase Price in immediately available funds; and (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 18.1 .

5.3. Price Differential Payment Due Dates . Price Differential on each Open Transaction and each Tranche thereunder accrued and unpaid to (or through) the last calendar day of each month before the Termination Date is due and payable on the 10th day of each month, whether or not such Transaction is still an Open Transaction on such payment due date; provided that all accrued and unpaid Price Differential on all Transactions shall be due on the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent is hereby specifically and irrevocably authorized to withdraw funds from the Operating Account in an amount equal to the sum of the Price Differential due on that day and cause application of such funds to such Price Differential, and if funds in the Operating Account are insufficient to pay the Price Differential then due, the Seller shall pay the amount of such deficiency by wire to the address in Section 3.5.

6 Margin Maintenance .

6.1. Margin Deficit .

(a) The Administrative Agent will recalculate the Purchase Value of all Purchased Loans on any date that the Market Value of Purchased Loans is calculated by

the Administrative Agent as described in Section 6.6 and at any other time the Administrative Agent elects to do so. If at any time the aggregate Purchase Value of all Purchased Loans subject to all Transactions hereunder is less than the aggregate Repurchase Price (excluding Price Differential minus cash transfers previously made from Seller to the Administrative Agent in response to previous Margin Calls, if any) for all such Transactions (a “ Margin Deficit ”), then by notice to the Seller (a “ Margin Call ”), the Administrative Agent shall, require the Seller to transfer (for the account of the Buyers) to the Administrative Agent or the Custodian, as appropriate either (at the Seller’s option) cash or additional Eligible Loans reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (“ Additional Purchased Loans ”), or a combination of cash and Additional Purchased Loans, so that the cash and the aggregate Purchase Value of the Purchased Loans, including any such Additional Purchased Loans, will thereupon at least equal the then aggregate Repurchase Price (excluding Price Differential).

(b) On any Business Day on which the Purchase Value of the Purchased Loans subject to Transactions exceeds the then outstanding aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions (a “ Margin Excess ”), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result therefrom, the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt of written request from the Seller either remit cash or Release Purchased Loans as may be designated in a request by Seller, in either case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount requested by the Seller and (ii) such Margin Excess, subject always to the other limitations of this Agreement. If cash is to be remitted, then the Administrative Agent shall treat the receipt of the written request of Seller under this Section 6.1(b) as if it were a request for a Transaction. To the extent the Administrative Agent remits cash to the Seller, such cash shall be (y) additional Purchase Price with respect to the Transactions, and (z) subject in all respect to the provisions and limitations of this Agreement. Each Buyer shall fund its Pro Rata share of such additional Purchase Price as if the remission of such Margin Excess were the initiation of a Transaction hereunder. For clarity, the term “Release,” as used in this Section 6.1(b) , shall mean Buyers’ re-sale to Seller of one or more designated Purchased Loans and Buyers’ delivery to Seller of the File for each such Purchased Loan.

6.2. Margin Call Deadline . If the Administrative Agent delivers a Margin Call to the Seller at or before 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day, then the Seller shall transfer cash and/or Additional Purchased Loans as provided in Section 6.1 on the same Business Day. If the Administrative Agent delivers a Margin Call to the Seller after 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day, then the Seller shall transfer cash and/or Additional Purchased Loans by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the next following Business Day.

6.3. Application of Cash . Any cash transferred to the Administrative Agent (for Pro Rata distribution to the Buyers) pursuant to this Section 6 shall be applied by the Buyers on receipt from the Administrative Agent which shall occur on the date received from the Seller or the next Business Day if received after 3:00 p.m.

6.4. Increased Cost . If any Change in Law subsequent to the Effective Date:

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

(b) shall impose on a Buyer any other condition;

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

6.5. Capital Adequacy . If any Buyer shall have determined that any Change in Law applicable to the Buyer or any corporation controlling the Buyer subsequent to the Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Buyer to be material, then from time to time, the Seller shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to such Buyer) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer or such corporation for such reduction.

6.6. Administrative Agent’s Report . In the discretion of the Administrative Agent if it reasonably determines that market conditions warrant (except that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make such determination more frequently than once per day), the Administrative Agent may: (1) determine the aggregate Market Values for the Purchased Loans (which may include the Purchase Value of any Mortgage Loans purchased on that day) by summing the values of the individual Purchased Loans as reported on (and recorded by the Administrative Agent from) the Mortgage Loan Transmission Files and Purchased Loans Curtailment Reports, valuing at zero Purchased Loans for which the Administrative Agent has current actual knowledge that a Disqualifier exists; (2) issue a statement of the value of the Purchased Loans as so determined; and (3) provide a copy of such statement to the Seller and each Buyer, provided that , if the Administrative Agent has not provided such a statement to the Seller and each Buyer at least one time in a calendar month, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Seller and each Buyer a Purchased Loan Report no later than the last Business Day of each month.

6.7. Provisions Relating to LIBOR Rate Tranches .

If, on the date for determining the LIBOR Rate in respect of any LIBOR Rate Tranche, any Buyer determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent error) that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Buyer of funding such LIBOR Rate Tranche, then such Buyer shall notify the

Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller, of such determination, whereupon the obligation of such Buyer to make, or to convert any Tranche to, LIBOR Rate Tranches shall be suspended until such Buyer notifies the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Seller, that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist. Outstanding LIBOR Rate Tranches held by such Buyer shall thereupon automatically be converted to bear interest at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% plus the LIBOR Margin, and in such event, the Seller will thereafter be entitled to designate subsequent Tranches to bear interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% plus the LIBOR Margin.

If, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Buyer to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Rate Tranches, such Buyer shall notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent, whereupon the obligation of such Buyer to make or convert Tranches into LIBOR Rate Tranches, shall be suspended until such Buyer notifies the Seller and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist. If any Buyer determines that it may not lawfully continue to maintain any LIBOR Rate Tranches, all of the affected Tranches shall be automatically converted as of the date of such Buyer’s notice to bear interest at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% plus the LIBOR Margin and, in such event, the Seller will thereafter be entitled to designate subsequent Tranches to bear interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% plus the LIBOR Margin.

7 Taxes .

7.1. Payments to be Free of Taxes; Withholding . Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Seller under any Repurchase Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “ Taxes ”), except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the Seller shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7 ) the applicable Buyer or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

7.2. Other Taxes . In addition, the Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

7.3. Taxes Indemnity .

(a) The Seller shall indemnify each Buyer or the Administrative Agent, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other

Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7 ) payable or paid by such Buyer or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Buyer or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by a Buyer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Buyer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Each Buyer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 15 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Buyer (but only to the extent that the Seller has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Seller to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Buyer’s failure to maintain a register of participations pursuant to Section 22.17 , and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Buyer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Repurchase Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Buyer by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Buyer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Buyer under any Repurchase Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Buyer from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.3 .

7.4. Receipt . As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 7 , the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

7.5. Buyers’ Obligations. Any Buyer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Repurchase Document shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Buyer, if reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7.5(b)(1), (2), and (4)) shall not be required if in the Buyer’s reasonable judgment such

completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer.

(a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(1) any Buyer that is a United States Person for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(2) any Non-U.S. Buyer, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

(3) any Non-U.S. Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4) if a payment made to a Buyer under any Repurchase Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Seller and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Buyer has complied with such Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(b) Each Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

7.6. Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7 ), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 7.6 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.6 , in no event will the

indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 7.6 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 7.6 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the indemnified party obtained the refund as a result of its willful misconduct or gross negligence, the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund.

7.7. Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section 7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Repurchase Document.

8 Income and Escrow Payments; Control .

8.1. Income and Escrow Payments . Notwithstanding that the Buyers, the Administrative Agent and the Seller intend that the Transactions be sales to the Buyers of the Purchased Loans, where a particular Transaction’s term extends over an Income payment date on the Eligible Loans subject to that Transaction, all payments and distributions, whether in cash or in kind, made on or with respect to the Purchased Loans shall be paid directly to the Seller or its designee by the relevant Customer, and the Administrative Agent (and the Buyers) shall have no obligation to collect or apply any Income to prevent or reduce any Margin Deficit, unless the Seller (i) arranges for such Income to be paid to the Administrative Agent (for Pro Rata distribution to the Buyers), (ii) requests that the Administrative Agent apply such Income when received against the Seller’s Margin Deficit(s) and (iii) concurrently transfers to the Administrative Agent either (x) cash or (y) at the Administrative Agent’s option and with the Administrative Agent’s written approval, Additional Purchased Loans, sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit. Amounts paid to the Seller by the relevant Customer shall be deposited by the Seller into the Income Account within two Business Days of receipt by Seller and, as to amounts so paid to the Seller for escrow payments, into the Escrow Account. The Income Account and the Escrow Account shall be maintained by the Seller with a bank satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall be subject to the control of the Administrative Agent. The Income Account and Escrow Account may be interest bearing accounts if allowed or required by applicable law. At all times prior to a Default or Event of Default, the Seller may have full use of all Income and amounts on deposit in the Income Account, subject to the provisions of Section 8.2 .

8.2. Income and Escrow Accounts . Prior to the initial Transaction hereunder the Seller shall establish the Income Account and the Escrow Account and shall cause the bank holding such accounts to enter into a control agreement with the Administrative Agent providing that upon notice from the Administrative Agent no further withdrawals or payment orders from the Seller shall be honored and only payment and withdrawal orders from the Administrative Agent or its designee shall be honored. Prior to the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and so

long as Seller is also the Servicer, Seller shall make payments from the Escrow Account of all appropriate amounts payable with respect to each Purchased Loan for taxes, insurance and other purposes for which the funds are paid into the Escrow Account. Subject to Section 8.3 , amounts on deposit in the Income Account shall be used by the Seller to pay its fees as Servicer while it serves in such capacity, and may be used to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts due under this Agreement for Margin Deficit or Price Differential and for any other lawful purpose.

8.3. Income and Escrow Accounts after Default . Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, the Seller shall have no right to direct withdrawal or application of funds in the Income Account and the Escrow Account unless authorized to do so in writing by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may cause all amounts on deposit in the Income Account to be paid to it or its designee for application in the following order to pay (i) accrued and unpaid Price Differential, (ii) costs, fees or other amounts due to the Administrative Agent and Buyers under this Agreement, (iii) reduction of the Repurchase Price of for Purchased Loans under Open Transactions, (iv) any other Obligations, and (v) any excess over the Obligations, to the Seller. The Administrative Agent or its designee shall direct payments from the Escrow Account for the purposes for which such funds are deposited into the Escrow Account.

9 Facility Fee; Administrative Agent’s Fee .

9.1. Facility Fee . The Seller agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (for Pro Rata distribution to the Buyers) a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the Maximum Aggregate Commitment, for each period from the first calendar day of each month (or, for the month containing the Effective Date, the Effective Date) to (or through) the last calendar day of such month (or, for the month containing the Termination Date, the Termination Date). The Facility Fee shall be due and payable on the 10th day of each month; provided that it shall not be an Event of Default if the Borrower has, at all times on such day and until payment of the Facility Fee, funds on deposit with the Administrative Agent in an amount sufficient to pay the Facility Fee and the Agent fails to draft the account for payment of the Facility Fee, and if funds in the Operating Account are insufficient to pay the Price Differential then due, the Seller shall pay the amount of such deficiency by wire to the address in Section 3.5. The Facility Fee shall be calculated on a 360-day per year basis. If the Maximum Aggregate Commitment shall be increased or decreased from time to time either pursuant to a provision of this Agreement or by separate agreement between the Buyers and the Seller (excluding, however, any change occurring as a result of or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, in respect of which no adjustment of the Facility Fee shall be required), the amount of the Facility Fee shall be adjusted as of the date of such change. The Facility Fee is compensation to the Buyers for committing to make funds available for revolving purchases of Eligible Loans on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and is not compensation for the use or forbearance or detention of money. Each calculation by the Administrative Agent of the amount of the Facility Fee shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

9.2. Administrative Agent’s Fee . The Seller agrees to pay to U.S. Bank in its capacity as Administrative Agent and lead arranger, such administrative fee, arrangement fee, and

syndication fee (collectively, the “ Administrative Agent’s Fee ”) in such amounts and on the dates as are provided for in separate agreements between the Seller and U.S. Bank.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Margin Deficit exists or occurs as a consequence thereof, subject to agreement with and acceptance by, and upon notice to, the Administrative Agent, the Seller may substitute Mortgage Loans substantially similar to the Purchased Loans for any Purchased Loans. If the Seller gives notice to the Administrative Agent at or before 12:00 noon on a Business Day, the Administrative Agent may elect, by the close of business on the Business Day notice is received or by the close of the next Business Day if notice is given after 12:00 noon on such day, not to accept such substitution. If such substitution is accepted by the Administrative Agent, such substitution shall be made by the Seller’s transfer to Administrative Agent of such other Mortgage Loans on a servicing released basis and the Administrative Agent’s transfer to the

Seller of such Purchased Loans, and after such substitution, the substituted Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to be Purchased Loans. If the Administrative Agent elects not to accept such substitution, the Seller shall offer the Administrative Agent and the Buyers the right to terminate the related Transaction.
