In the event the Agent delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) Any cash transferred to Purchaser or its designee pursuant to Section 16(f)(ii) herein shall reduce the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

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

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed that Seller shall be responsible for satisfying any Margin Deficit existing as a result of any reduction of the Principal Balance of any Purchased Asset pursuant to any action by any bankruptcy court.

(a) All payments made by Seller and Guarantor under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Purchaser is organized or of its applicable lending office, or a state or foreign jurisdiction with respect to which Purchaser has a present or former connection (other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being party to, engaging in any transaction pursuant to, performing its obligations under or enforcing any Program Document), or any political subdivision thereof or taxes imposed under FATCA (collectively, such non-excluded taxes are hereinafter called “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller or Guarantor for its own account not later than the date when due. If Seller or Guarantor is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due, (c) deliver to the Purchaser, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8(d) below, pay to the Purchaser such additional amounts (including all Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on such additional amounts) as may be necessary so that the Purchaser receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

(b) In addition, Seller and Guarantor agree to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any taxing authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement except such taxes imposed with respect to an assignment as a result of a present or former connection between Purchaser and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than connections arising from Purchaser having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Program Document, or sold or assigned any Purchased Asset or Program Document) (“ Other Taxes ”).

(c) Seller and Guarantor agree to indemnify Purchaser for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses arising thereon or with respect thereto) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided, that the Purchaser shall have provided Seller and Guarantor with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and Guarantor, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d) Any Purchaser that is either (i) not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) not otherwise treated as a “United States person” under the Code (a “ Foreign Purchaser ”) shall provide Seller and Agent with original properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Forms W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS (or IRS Form W-8IMY, with IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI attached), certifying that such Person is either (1) entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which eliminates United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or (2) otherwise fully exempt from United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States in either case, on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser. Each Foreign Purchaser will resubmit the appropriate form eliminating withholding tax on payments to it on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission, or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Person as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which the Foreign Purchaser has failed to provide Seller and Guarantor with the appropriate form or other relevant document as expressly required under this Section 8(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided under the first sentence of this Section 8(d) or except to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 8, amounts payable with respect to such taxes were payable to Purchaser’s assignor immediately before Purchaser became a party hereto) such Person shall not be entitled to “gross-up” of Taxes under Section 8(a) or indemnification under Section 8(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States which are imposed because of such failure; provided , however , that should a Foreign Purchaser, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, shall, at no cost or expense to Seller or Guarantor, take such steps as such Foreign Purchaser shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Purchaser to recover such Taxes. Upon the execution of this Agreement, each Purchaser that is a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to Seller and Guarantor a duly executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by Seller or Guarantor as will enable Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, to determine whether or not Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Unless Seller or Guarantor has received such forms or other documents or information as required by this Section 8(d) to establish Purchaser’s exception from backup withholding tax, Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, shall not be required to pay additional sums or indemnify Purchaser for any backup amount withheld.

(e) If a payment made to Purchaser under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Agent or Purchaser 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), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller and Guarantor at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Guarantor 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 Seller or Guarantor as may be necessary for Seller and Guarantor to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller or Guarantor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller and Guarantor contained in this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall require Purchaser to make available any of their tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(g) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

(a) Seller and Purchaser intend that (other than for tax and accounting purposes) the Transactions hereunder be sales to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Purchaser to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising. Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Assets are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Purchaser hereunder.

(b) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Purchaser 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 Purchaser’s discretion, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser at its option may deem appropriate, and 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 reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Purchaser the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, to do the following if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Purchaser has elected to exercise its remedies pursuant to Section 18 hereof:

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

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Assets;

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Purchaser or as Purchaser shall direct, (B) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise as appropriate, to directly send or cause the applicable servicer to send “hello” letters, “goodbye” letters in the form of Exhibit D , and Section 404 Notices; (C) 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 Purchased Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Purchaser may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Assets as fully and completely as though Purchaser was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Purchaser’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Purchaser deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Assets and Purchaser’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

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.

Seller also authorizes Purchaser, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Assets in connection with any sale provided for in Section 18 hereof.

The powers conferred on Purchaser hereunder are solely to protect Purchaser’s interests in the Purchased Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Purchaser shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Purchaser nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder.

(a) As conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, Purchaser shall have received on or before the Effective Date the following, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser and duly executed by each party thereto (as applicable):

(ii) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iii) Purchaser shall not have reasonably determined that the introduction of or a change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any requirement of law applicable to Purchaser has made it unlawful, and no Governmental Authority shall have asserted that it is unlawful, for Purchaser to enter into Transactions with the applicable Pricing Rate;

Except as set forth in Section 16(f)(ii) and Section 15, Seller shall give at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to Purchaser if such repurchase shall occur on any date other than the Repurchase Date.

If such a Margin Deficit is applicable, Purchaser shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller may thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 7.

With respect to any Transaction, Purchaser may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Purchaser reasonably believes to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf.

Each of the Seller and Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser and Agent, and shall on and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction and on and as of each date thereafter through and including the related Repurchase Date be deemed to represent and warrant to Purchaser and Agent that:

(a) Due Organization, Qualification, Power, Authority and Due Authorization . Each of the Seller and Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and it has qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it is legally required to do so. Each of the Seller and Guarantor has the power and authority under its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable law to enter into this Agreement and the Program Documents and to perform all acts contemplated hereby and thereby or in connection herewith and therewith; this Agreement and the Program Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not require any additional approvals or consents or other action by, or any notice to or filing with, any Person other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made.

(b) Noncontravention . The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Program Documents are in the ordinary course of business of each of the Seller and Guarantor and will not conflict with, result in the breach of or violate any provision of the charter or by-laws of each of the Seller and Guarantor or result in the breach of any provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture, loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Seller or Guarantor, the Purchased Assets or any of Seller’s Property or Guarantor’s Property is or may be subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Seller or Guarantor, the Purchased Assets or Seller’s Property or Guarantor’s Property is subject. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein will not violate any policy, regulation or guideline of the FHA or VA or result in the voiding or reduction of the FHA insurance, VA guarantee or any other insurance or guarantee in respect of any Mortgage Loan, and such FHA insurance or VA guarantee is in full force and effect or shall be in full force and effect as required by the applicable Agency Guide.

(c) Legal Proceeding . There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, or before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to Seller’s knowledge or Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller or Guarantor (or, to Seller’s knowledge or Guarantor’s knowledge, any basis therefor) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the validity of the Purchased Assets or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Program Documents or any agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party and which is used or contemplated for use in the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, would adversely affect the proceedings of Seller in connection herewith or would or could materially and adversely affect Seller’s ability or Guarantor’s ability to carry out its obligations hereunder.

(d) Valid and Binding Obligations . This Agreement, the Program Documents and every other document to be executed by Seller or Guarantor in connection with this Agreement is and will be legal, valid, binding and subsisting obligations of Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except that (A) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (B) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

(e) Financial Statements . The financial statements of each of Seller and Guarantor, copies of which have been furnished to Purchaser, (i) are, as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of Seller as of the dates and for the periods indicated and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, except as noted therein (subject as to interim statements to normal year-end adjustments). Since the date of the most recent financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change with respect to Seller or Guarantor. Except as disclosed in such financial statements or pursuant to Section 14(i) hereof, neither Seller nor Guarantor is subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change with respect to Seller.

(f) Accuracy of Information . Neither this Agreement nor any representations and warranties or information relating to Seller or Guarantor that Seller or Guarantor has delivered or caused to be delivered to Purchaser, including, but not limited to, all documents related to this Agreement, the Program Documents or Seller’s or Guarantor’s financial statements, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein or herein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the furnishing of such documents or information, there has been no change, nor any development or event involving a prospective change that would render any of such documents or information untrue or misleading in any material respect.

(g) No Consents . No consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration, filing or declaration with, any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality, nor any consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor, lessor or other non-governmental Person, is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor, Seller or its Parent Company, if any, of this Agreement or any other Program Document, other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made.

(h) Compliance With Law, Etc. No practice, procedure or policy employed or proposed to be employed by Seller or Guarantor in the conduct of its businesses violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, regulatory consent, order or decree applicable to it which, if enforced, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Solvency . Each of Seller and Guarantor is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to each such Transaction, neither Seller nor Guarantor will be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. Neither Seller nor Guarantor intends to incur, nor believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Neither Seller nor Guarantor is contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Seller or Guarantor or any of their respective assets.

(j) Fraudulent Conveyance. The amount of consideration being received by Seller in respect of each Transaction, taken as a whole, constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the related Purchased Assets. Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors. The Agreement and the Program Documents, any other document contemplated hereby or thereby and each transaction have not been entered into fraudulently by Seller hereunder, or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor or Purchaser.

(k) Investment Company Act Compliance .

(l) Taxes . Seller has timely filed all federal and state tax returns that are required to be filed by it and paid all taxes, including any assessments received by it, to the extent that such taxes have become due (other than for taxes that are being contested in good faith and for which it has established adequate reserves). Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by Seller or Guarantor in connection with a Transaction and the execution and delivery of the Program Documents have been paid.

(m) Additional Representations . With respect to each Asset to be sold hereunder by Seller to Purchaser, Seller hereby makes all of the applicable representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B as of the related Purchase Date and continuously while such Asset is subject to a Transaction. Further, as of each Purchase Date, Seller shall be deemed to have represented and warranted in like manner that Seller has no knowledge that any such representation or warranty may have ceased to be true in a material respect as of such date, except as otherwise stated in a Transaction Notice, any such exception to identify the applicable representation or warranty and specify in reasonable detail the related knowledge of Seller.

(n) No Broker . Neither Seller nor Guarantor has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for Purchaser, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement; provided , that if Seller or Guarantor has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for Purchaser, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement, such commission or compensation shall have been paid in full by Seller or Guarantor.

(o) Good Title . Seller has not sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated any interest in any individual Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction to any person other than any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or hypothecation that is released in conjunction with the sale to Purchaser hereunder, and upon delivery of a Purchased Asset to Purchaser, Purchaser will be the sole owner thereof (other than for tax and accounting purposes), free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance other than those arising under this Agreement.

(p) Approvals . Each of Seller, Guarantor and Servicer has all requisite Approvals.

(q) Custodian; Disbursement Agent . The Custodian is an eligible custodian under each Agency Guide and each Agency Program, and is not an Affiliate of Seller. The Disbursement Agent is not an Affiliate of Seller.

(r) No Adverse Actions . Seller has not received from any Agency a notice of extinguishment or a notice indicating material breach, default or material non-compliance which the Agent reasonably determines may entitle an Agency to terminate, suspend, sanction or levy penalties against the Seller, or a notice from any Agency, HUD, FHA or VA indicating any adverse fact or circumstance in respect of Seller which the Agent reasonably determines may entitle such Agency, HUD, FHA or VA, as the case may be, to revoke any Approval or otherwise terminate, suspend Seller as an Agency approved issuer or servicer, or with respect to which such adverse fact or circumstance has caused any Agency, HUD, FHA or VA, as the case may be, to terminate Seller, without any subsequent rescission thereof in such notice.

(s) Reserved .

(t) Affiliated Parties . Seller is not an Affiliate of the Custodian, Disbursement Agent or Settlement Agent or any other party to a Program Document hereunder other than the Agent.

The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive transfer of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser and shall continue for so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement.

Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Purchaser and Agent as follows:

(a) Defense of Title . Seller warrants and will defend the right, title and interest of Purchaser in and to all Purchased Assets against all adverse claims and demands.

(b) No Amendment or Compromise . None of Seller or those acting on Seller’s behalf shall amend, modify, or waive any term or condition of, or settle or compromise any claim in respect of, any item of the Purchased Assets, any related rights or any of the Program Documents without the prior written consent of Purchaser, unless such amendment or modification does not (i) affect the amount or timing of any payment of principal or interest payable with respect to a Purchased Asset, extend its scheduled maturity date, modify its interest rate, or constitute a cancellation or discharge of its outstanding principal balance or (ii) materially and adversely affect the security afforded by the real property, furnishings, fixtures, or equipment securing the Purchased Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may amend, modify or waive any term or condition of the individual Mortgage Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Agency Guides; provided, that Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any amendment, modification or waiver that causes any Mortgage Loan to cease to be an Eligible Mortgage Loan.

(c) No Assignment; No Liens . Seller shall not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in, or Lien on or otherwise encumber (except pursuant to the Program Documents) any of the Purchased Assets or any interest therein, provided that this Section 14(c) shall not prevent any of the following: any contribution, sale, assignment, transfer or conveyance of Purchased Assets in accordance with the Program Documents and any forward purchase commitment or other type of take out commitment for the Purchased Assets (without vesting rights in the related purchasers as against Purchaser).

(h) Any Governmental Authority or any person, agency or entity acting or purporting to act under governmental authority (i) shall have taken any action to condemn, seize or appropriate, or to assume custody or control of, all or any substantial part of the Property of Seller, Guarantor, or any of Seller’s or Guarantor’s Affiliates, or shall have taken any action to displace the management of Seller, Guarantor, or any of Seller’s or Guarantor’s Affiliates or to curtail its authority in the conduct of the business of Seller, Guarantor, or any of Seller’s or Guarantor’s Affiliates, or (ii) takes any action in the nature of enforcement to remove, limit or restrict the approval of Seller, Guarantor, or any of Seller’s or Guarantor’s Affiliates as an issuer, Purchaser or a seller/servicer of Mortgage Loans or securities backed thereby;

(o) The Seller ceases to be a member of MERS in good standing for any reason (unless MERS is no longer acting in such capacity);

(p) Change of Servicer without consent of the Agent;

(r) Guarantor’s publicly traded stock is delisted or otherwise involuntarily removed from the New York Stock Exchange; or

(s) Guarantor’s failure to file Form 10-K or Form 10-Q within the time frame required by the SEC, but in any case no later than 75 days after such period end in the case of Form 10-K, and 40 days after such period end in the case of Form 10-Q.

Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default (other than that referred to in Section 17(f)), the Purchaser, at its option, shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies and (ii) an Event of Default referred to in Section 17(f), the following rights and remedies shall immediately and automatically take effect without any further action by any Person.

(a) (i) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Seller’s Obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by Purchaser and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; Seller shall immediately deliver to Purchaser or its designee any and all original papers, records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in its possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights thereon shall become Property of Purchaser.

(ii) Purchaser may (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 18(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Purchaser may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets on a servicing-released or servicing-retained basis, as Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets (including credit for the Servicing Rights in respect of sales on a servicing-retained basis) in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. Seller shall remain liable to Purchaser for any amounts that remain owing to Purchaser following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses including but not limited to legal fees incurred by Purchaser in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations.

(iii) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of these characteristics of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Purchaser may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Purchaser to liquidate any Purchased Asset upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.

(iv) The Purchaser may terminate the Agreement.

(b) Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller. In addition to their rights hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Purchaser, any of Purchaser’s Affiliates or their designee (including the Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans and all other sums or obligations owed by Purchaser to Seller or against all of Seller’s Obligations to Purchaser, or Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Purchaser’s right to recover any deficiency.

(c) Purchaser shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser such assignments as Purchaser shall request.

(d) Purchaser shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser determines appropriate, including, without limitation, using its rights under a power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof.

(e) Purchaser shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, and do anything that Purchaser is authorized hereunder to do. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.

(f) Purchaser may, at its option, enter into one or more hedging transactions covering all or a portion of the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Purchaser relating to or arising out of such hedging transactions; including without limitation any losses resulting from such hedging transactions, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.

(g) In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Purchaser shall have all other rights and remedies provided by 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.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to exercise any of their rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.

Purchaser may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Purchaser to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller 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 Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies. Seller 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.

Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited promptly upon receipt thereof but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours thereafter. Seller shall be liable to Purchaser for the amount of all losses, costs and/or expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate) which Purchaser may sustain or incur in connection with hedging transactions relating to the Purchased Assets, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.

No failure on the part of Purchaser to exercise, and no delay by Purchaser in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Purchaser 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 Purchaser provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Purchaser to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Purchaser may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default 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.

No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.

(a) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, Agent and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice therefor) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, taxes, increased costs and all other expenses including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and audit and due diligence fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including without limitation, in connection with) (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the Program Documents and all other documents related thereto, any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty or covenant in this Agreement or any other Program Document, and all actions taken pursuant thereto, (ii) the Transactions, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any acquisition or proposed acquisition, or any indemnity payable under the servicing agreement or other servicing arrangement, (iii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any Property or any environmental action relating in any way to any Property, (iv) the actual or alleged violation of any federal, state, municipal or local predatory lending laws, (v) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties found in Section 37(b) or (c) , regardless of whether Seller cures such breach or (vi) the reduction of the Principal Balance due to a cram down or similar action authorized by any bankruptcy proceeding or other case arising out of or relating to any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, in each case, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or is the result of a claim made by Seller against the Indemnified Party, and Seller is ultimately the successful party in any resulting litigation or arbitration. Seller hereby agrees not to assert any claim against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

(b) If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Purchaser, in its sole discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Purchaser and such amounts shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder. No such payment by Purchaser shall be deemed a waiver of any of Purchaser’s rights under the Program Documents.

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 21 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Purchaser against full payment therefor.

Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Assets as a result of restrictions upon Purchaser or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that they may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.

(a) Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Purchaser in connection with the initial and subsequent negotiation, modification, renewal and amendment of the Program Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all collateral review and UCC search and filing fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for Purchaser with respect to advising Purchaser as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under this Agreement and any other Program Document, with respect to negotiations with Seller or with other creditors of Seller arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be responsible for 100% of the Purchaser’s legal fees associated with the initial preparation of the Program Documents up to the first $100,000 (the “ Fee Cap ”). Seller agrees to pay on demand, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (and fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s outside counsel) expended or incurred by Purchaser and/or Custodian in connection with the modification, renewal, amendment and enforcement (including any waivers) of the Program Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is entered into hereunder), the taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by Purchaser (without duplication to Purchaser) and/or Custodian pursuant thereto or by refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a “workout.” Further, Seller agrees to pay, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (and fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s outside counsel) expended or incurred by Purchaser in connection with (a) the rendering of legal advice as to Purchaser’s rights, remedies and obligations under any of the Program Documents, (b) the collection of any sum which becomes due to Purchaser under any Program Document, (c) any proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding, or any appeal, or (d) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights of Purchaser. For the purposes of this Section 23(a), attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with the following: (1) discovery; (2) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or case arising out of or relating to any petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, as the same shall be in effect from time to time, or any similar law; (3) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (4) post-judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment. Any and all of the foregoing amounts referred to in this Section 23(a) shall be deemed a part of the Obligations hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 23(a) shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Purchaser against full payment therefor.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of Purchaser hereunder and at law, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) by Seller hereunder or under any other agreement (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement) entered into between Seller or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, or any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, or any other collateral (in the case of collateral not in the form of cash or such other marketable or negotiable form, by selling such collateral in a recognized market therefor or as otherwise permitted by law or as may be in accordance with custom, usage or trade practice), in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller of any of its Affiliates. Purchaser may also set-off cash and all other sums or obligations owed by Purchaser or its Affiliates to Seller or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement) or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other) against all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement (including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement) between the parties or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other), whether or not such obligations are then due. The exercise of any such right of set-off shall be without prejudice to Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Purchaser agrees to promptly notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Seller agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to Purchaser or Agent such additional assignments, acknowledgments, agreements, powers and instruments as are reasonably required by Purchaser or Agent to carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Agreement, to perfect the interests of Purchaser in the Purchased Assets or to better assure and confirm unto Purchaser its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

This Agreement supersedes and integrates all previous negotiations, contracts, agreements and understandings between the parties relating to a sale and repurchase of Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans, and it, together with the other Program Documents, and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, contains the entire final agreement of the parties. No prior negotiation, agreement, understanding or prior contract shall have any validity hereafter.

This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. However, no such termination shall affect Seller’s outstanding obligations to Purchaser at the time of such termination. Seller’s obligations to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the other Program Documents shall survive the termination hereof.

(a) Purchaser may, in its sole election, and without the consent of the Seller engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the Purchased Assets with a counterparty of Purchaser’s choice, in all cases subject to Purchaser’s obligation to reconvey the Purchased Assets (and not substitutes therefor) on the Repurchase Date, all at no cost to the Seller. In the event Purchaser engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Purchaser shall have the right to assign to Purchaser’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties in Exhibit B to this Agreement and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

(b) The Program Documents and the Seller’s rights and obligations thereunder are not assignable by Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Any Person into which Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of Seller, shall be the successor of Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Without any requirement for further consent of the Seller and at no cost or expense to the Seller, each of Purchaser and Agent may, in its sole election, assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents with a counterparty of Purchaser’s or Agent’s choice. Purchaser or Agent shall notify Seller of any such assignment and participation and shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and participants and a copy of any executed assignment and acceptance by Purchaser or Agent and assignee (“ Assignment and Acceptance ”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The Seller agrees that, for any such permitted assignment, Seller will cooperate with the prompt execution and delivery of documents reasonably necessary for such assignment process to the extent that Seller incurs no cost or expense that is not paid by the Purchaser or Agent, as applicable. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder, and (b) Purchaser or Agent shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of Purchaser or Agent which assumes the obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder or (ii) to another Person which assumes the obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder, be released from their obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and under the Program Documents.

(c) Purchaser and Agent may distribute to any prospective assignee, participant or pledgee any document or other information delivered to Purchaser by Seller subject to the confidentiality restrictions contained in Section 35 hereof; accordingly, such prospective assignee, participant or pledgee shall be required to agree to confidentiality provisions similar to those set forth in Section 35.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor any consent to any failure to comply herewith or therewith shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Seller, Purchaser and Agent, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

If any provision of any Program Document is declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of the Program Documents, and each Program Document shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to or in connection with this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (EXCEPT FOR SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTS, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SELLER HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO, NON-EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM DOCUMENTS. SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF A SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANOTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER PROGRAM DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 31 AND TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 34 OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE PROVIDED IN WRITING TO THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 31 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO (I) SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OR (II) BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

Seller, Purchaser and Agent acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, Seller, Purchaser and Agent each agree (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

Seller, Purchaser and Agent recognize that each of the Transactions and this Agreement is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, or a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as applicable, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code.

It is understood that Purchaser’s right to liquidate, the Purchased Assets and terminate and accelerate the Transactions and this Agreement or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 18 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, terminate and accelerate the Transactions under a repurchase agreement, a securities contract, a master netting agreement, and a qualified financial contract as described in Sections 559, 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code and Section 1821(e)(8)(A)(i) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as applicable, and a contractual right to offset under a master netting agreement and across contracts, as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is understood that Seller’s right to accelerate the Repurchase Date with respect to the Purchased Assets and any Transaction hereunder pursuant to Section 18 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, terminate and accelerate the Transactions under a repurchase agreement, a securities contract, a master netting agreement, and a qualified financial contract as described in Sections 559, 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code and Section 1821(e)(8)(A)(i) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as applicable.

The parties hereby intend that any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the individual Mortgage Loans shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and part of the “contract” as such term is used in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Except as provided herein, all notices required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing (including without limitation by Electronic Transmission, email or facsimile) and shall be effective and deemed delivered only when received by the party to which it is sent; provided that notices of Events of Default and exercise of remedies or under Sections 6 or 18 shall be sent via overnight mail and by electronic transmission. Any such notice shall be sent to a party at the address, electronic mail or facsimile transmission number set forth below:

or to such other address, e-mail address or facsimile number as either party may notify to the others in writing from time to time.

Seller, Purchaser and Agent each hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to the other in connection with the Program Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation, Seller’s Mortgagor information in the possession of Purchaser (the “ Confidential Terms ”) shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of such other party except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions or (ii) with prior (if feasible) written notice to Purchaser, disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or (iii) with prior (if feasible) written notice to Purchaser, disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Hedge Instrument hereunder or (iv) with prior (if feasible) written notice to Purchaser, any disclosures or filing required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) or state securities’ laws; provided that in the case of clause (iv), Seller shall not file the Pricing Side Letter.

Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser and Agent, and shall on and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction and on and as of each date thereafter through and including the related Repurchase Date be deemed to represent and warrant to Purchaser and Agent that:

(a) Each of Purchaser and Agent hereby notifies the Seller that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act, Title III of Pub. L. 109-177 (signed into law March 9, 2009) (the “ Act ”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Seller, which information includes the name and address of the Seller and other information that will allow each of Purchaser and Agent, as applicable, to identify the Seller in accordance with the Act.

(b) (i) Neither the Seller, nor the Parent Company nor any Originator is named on the list of Specifically Designated Nationals maintained by OFAC or any similar list issued by OFAC (collectively, the “ OFAC Lists ”); (ii) no Person on the OFAC Lists owns a 50% or greater interest in, directly or indirectly, or otherwise controls, the Seller or the Parent Company; and (iii) to the best of the knowledge of the Seller, none of the Purchaser or Agent is precluded, under the laws and regulations administered by OFAC, from entering into this Agreement or any transactions pursuant to this Agreement with the Seller due to the ownership or control by any person or entity of stocks, shares, bonds, debentures, notes, drafts or other securities or obligations of the Seller.

(c) (i) The Seller will not conduct business with or engage in any transaction with any Obligor that the Seller knows or should reasonably be expected to know that (x) is named on any of the OFAC Lists or (y) 50% or greater of the equity interests in such Obligor are owned by a Person named on any OFAC List; (ii) if the Seller obtains actual knowledge or should reasonably be expected to know that any Obligor is named on any of the OFAC Lists or that any Person named on an OFAC List owns a 50% or greater interest in an Obligor, the Seller will give prompt written notice to the Purchaser and Agent of such fact or facts; and (iii) the Seller will (x) comply at all times with the requirements of the Economic and Trade Sanctions and Anti-Terrorism Laws applicable to any transactions, dealings or other actions relating to this Agreement, except to the extent such non-compliance does not result in a violation of applicable law by any of the Purchaser or Agent and (y) will, upon the Purchaser’s or Agent’s reasonable request from time to time during the term of this Agreement, deliver a certification confirming its compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section 37 .

(a) Subject to Section 38(h) below, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser the prompt payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Any such payment shall be made at such place and in the same currency as such relevant Guaranteed Obligation is payable. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not solely of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

(b) The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Guarantor agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by Purchaser without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to this Agreement or any other Program Document or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise and Guarantor hereby waives the right to require Purchaser to proceed against any other Person or to require the Purchaser to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser from suing in any jurisdiction on this Agreement or any other Program Document or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement or any instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither Guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by reason of the application of the laws of any foreign jurisdiction. Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance of by Purchaser upon this guaranty or acceptance of this guaranty. The Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between Seller and Guarantor, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty.

(c) Guarantor agrees that (a) all or any part of the security which hereafter may be held for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) the Purchaser shall not have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests or Liens which hereafter may be held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed, increased or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) Seller and any other party liable for payment under this Agreement may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Program Document may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of Seller or any other party liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

(d) Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Purchaser and of all transfers of funds to Seller by Purchaser; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of Purchaser obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any Lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or Purchaser’s subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such Liens, if any; (e) all other notices to which Seller might otherwise be entitled in connection with the guaranty evidenced by this Section 38; and (f) demand for payment under this guaranty.

(e) The obligations of Guarantor under this Section 38 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Purchaser on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Purchaser in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(f) Guarantor agrees that, as between Guarantor, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 18 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 18) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantor.

(g) Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 38(a), whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Seller or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (as now or hereinafter in effect).

NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR TRANSFER

OF SERVICING RIGHTS

You are hereby notified that the servicing of your mortgage loan, that is the right to collect payments from you, is being assigned, sold or transferred.

The assignment, sale or transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loan does not affect any term or condition of the mortgage instruments, other than the terms directly related to the servicing of your loan.

Except in limited circumstances, the law requires that your present servicer send you a notice at least 15 days before the effective date, or at closing. Your new servicer must also send you this notice no later than 15 days after this effective date.

This notification is a requirement of Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) (12 U.S.C. 2605). You should also be aware of the following information, which is set out in more detail in Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605).

During the 60 day period following the effective date of the transfer of the loan servicing, a loan payment received by your old servicer before its due date may not be treated by the new loan servicer as late, and a late fee may not be imposed upon you.

Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605) gives you certain consumer rights. If you send a “qualified written request” to your loan servicer concerning the servicing of your loan, your servicer must provide you with a written acknowledgement within 20 Business Days of receipt of your request. A “qualified written request” is written correspondence, other than notice on a payment coupon or other payment medium supplied by the servicer, which includes your name and account number and your reasons for the request. If you want to send a “qualified written request” regarding the servicing of your loan, it must be sent to this address:

___________________

[Address]

No later than 60 Business Days after receiving your request, your servicer must make any appropriate corrections to your account, and must provide you with a written clarification regarding any dispute. During this 60 Business Day period, your servicer may not provide information to a consumer reporting agency concerning any overdue payment related to such period or qualified written request. However, this does not prevent the servicer from initiating foreclosure if proper grounds exist under the mortgage documents.

A Business Day is any day excluding legal public holidays (State or federal), Saturday and Sunday.

Section 6 of RESPA also provides for damages and costs for individuals or classes of individuals, in circumstances where servicers are shown to have violated the requirements of that Section. You should seek legal advice if you believe your rights have been violated.

MIRANDA DISCLOSURE – For your protection, please be advised that we are attempting to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. Calls will be monitored and recorded for quality assurance purposes. If you do not wish for your call to be recorded please notify the customer service associate when calling.

BANKRUPTCY INSTRUCTION – Attention to any customer in Bankruptcy or who has received a bankruptcy discharge of this debt. Please be advised that this letter constitutes neither a demand for payment of the captioned debt nor a notice of personal liability to any recipient hereof who might have received a discharge of such debt in accordance with applicable bankruptcy laws or who might be subject to the automatic stay of Section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. However, it may be a notice of possible enforcement of our lien against the collateral property, which has not been discharged in your bankruptcy.

Seller, subject to the terms hereof, will cause (a) the Related Mortgage Loans to back a Security issued or guaranteed by the Applicable Agency, and (b) Delivery of such Security by the Applicable Agency to Purchaser or its designee in exchange for the Related Participation Certificate, which Security will be purchased by a Takeout Investor.

Purchaser’s willingness to purchase any Participation Certificate evidencing a beneficial interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing rights related thereto is at the sole discretion of Purchaser and based on Purchaser’s expectation, in reliance upon Seller’s representations and warranties herein, that (a) such Mortgage Loans in the aggregate, constitute a pool or pools of mortgage loans that are eligible to back a Security, (b) such Mortgage Loans are sufficient for the Applicable Agency to issue and/or guarantee the Security, (c) such Security will be issued in the amount and with the terms described in the related Takeout Commitment, (d) Purchaser’s broker-dealer affiliate, Barclays Capital Inc. (“ BCI ”) will receive Delivery of such Security on the specified Anticipated Delivery Date on behalf of Purchaser, and (e) such Security will be purchased by the related Takeout Investor.

The amount of the Purchase Price and the Completion Fee to be paid by Purchaser to Seller with respect to each Participation Certificate will be calculated on the expectation of Purchaser, based upon the representations and warranties of Seller herein, that Purchaser or BCI, on behalf of Purchaser, will receive Delivery of the Security to be backed by the Related Mortgage Loans on the specified Anticipated Delivery Date, that failure to receive such Delivery will result in a material decrease in the market value of the Participation Certificate and the Related Mortgage Loans considered as a whole and that the related Takeout Investor will purchase the Security from Purchaser or BCI, on behalf of Purchaser.

Purchaser may also, subject to any existing limitations on recourse in connection with this Agreement, set-off cash and all other sums or obligations owed by Purchaser or its Affiliates to Seller or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties (including, without limitation, the Master Repurchase Agreement) or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other) against all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties (including, without limitation, the Master Repurchase Agreement) or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other), whether or not such obligations are then due. The exercise of any such right of set-off shall be without prejudice to Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 14. Exclusive Benefit of Parties; Assignment .

Purchaser or Agent shall notify Seller of any such assignment and participation and shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and participants and a copy of any executed assignment and acceptance by Purchaser or Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The Seller agrees that, for any such permitted assignment, Seller will cooperate with the prompt execution and delivery of documents reasonably necessary for such assignment process to the extent that Seller incurs no cost or expense that is not paid by the Purchaser or Agent, as applicable. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder, and (b) Purchaser or Agent shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of Purchaser or Agent which assumes the obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder or (ii) to another Person which assumes the obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder, be released from their obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and under the Program Documents.

The Program Documents and the Seller’s rights and obligations thereunder are not assignable by Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Agent. Any Person into which Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Seller shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of Seller, shall be the successor of Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 15. Amendments; Waivers; Cumulative Rights . This Agreement may be amended from time to time only by written agreement of Seller, Purchaser and Agent. Any forbearance, failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise by either party of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof. Every right, power and remedy of either party shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived by such party in writing. No right, power or remedy shall be exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred hereby or hereafter available at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

ARTICLE II

LOANS, BORROWING, PREPAYMENT

Section 2.01. Loans . On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lender shall make loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Available Facility Amount (each such loan, a “ Loan ”) to the Borrower from time to time. The Lender shall distribute the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Funding Date in accordance with Section 2.03 .

Section 2.02. Note .

(a) The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) hereto (the “ Note ”), dated the date hereof, payable to the Lender in a principal amount not to exceed an amount equal to the Available Facility Amount as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(b) The date, amount, and interest rate of each Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note, noted by the Lender on the grid attached to the Note or any continuation thereof, provided, that failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount hereunder or under the Note in respect of the Loans.

Section 2.03. Borrower Electronic Files and Funding Requests .

(a) On any Funding Notice Date prior to the Wind Down Date, the Borrower may request the Lender to make a Loan on the Funding Date specified in the related Borrower Funding Request by delivering to the Lender an irrevocable Borrower Funding Request no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Funding Notice Date. The amount of any Loan requested pursuant to a Borrower Funding Request shall be not greater than the related Available Loan Amount and, with respect to the Initial Borrower Funding request, shall not be less than $10 million. The Borrower may request a Funding Date on any Business Day; provided, however, a Funding Date that involves the addition of new Collateral may not fall on any of the five (5) last Business Days in any calendar month unless otherwise agreed by Lender. Any Borrower Funding Request that relates to the addition of new Collateral shall include an Electronic File describing all Eligible Servicing Rights that constitute the Collateral hereunder.

(b) Regardless whether the Borrower intends to deliver a Borrower Funding Request during any calendar month, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender on the fifteenth (15 ^th ) calendar day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day) (any such day, a “ Collateral Reporting Date ”), an Electronic File with respect to all Eligible Servicing Rights that constitute the Collateral hereunder, which shall include all updates to the Collateral since the date of the preceding Electronic File.

(c) In Lender’s determination of Collateral Value for any of the Servicing Rights hereunder, it shall apply the MSR Value of the Servicing Rights in a related Borrowing Base Report. Any excess of the amount funded on such Loan over the Collateral Value shall result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency as set forth in Section 2.08(b) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.03 , the Lender shall have the right to determine MSR Value at any time in its sole good faith discretion.

(d) By delivering a Borrower Funding Request, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that, after taking into account the amount of the requested Loan, all conditions precedent to such Loan specified in Section 5.02 have been satisfied.

Section 2.04. Borrowing Base Reports . With respect to each Funding Date, the Lender shall determine the MSR Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights to be pledged as security for a Loan on such Funding Date and shall communicate such determination by providing Borrower with a Borrowing Base Report prior to such Funding Date. For purposes of preparing each Borrowing Base Report, the Lender shall calculate the Collateral Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights described in the Relevant Electronic File.

Section 2.05. Interest . Interest shall accrue on each Loan for each day during a related Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the product of (x) the outstanding principal balance of such Loan on such day, multiplied by (y) the sum of (i) the applicable LIBOR Rate for such day and (ii) the Applicable Margin. Interest shall be payable on each Monthly Settlement Date in arrears with respect to each Loan through the final day of each Interest Period (regardless whether such day is a Business Day), such amount to be payable on each Monthly Settlement Date. The Lender shall determine the LIBOR Rate for each Loan, which may be reset on a daily basis, as set forth in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” and provide notice of such determination to the Borrower. The Lender shall also calculate the amount of interest or other amounts due to be paid by the Borrower from time to time hereunder (including in connection with any prepayment or repayment of Loans permitted hereunder) and shall provide a written statement thereof to the Borrower at least two Business Days prior to the due date of such payments (or the relevant repayment or prepayment after having received a notice thereof); provided , that failure to provide such statements on a timely basis shall not relieve the Borrower of the obligation to pay any interest and principal due on the applicable payment date (based upon its good faith calculation of the amount due, such amount to be promptly reconciled after receipt of a subsequent statement from the Lender) and other such amounts hereunder promptly upon receipt of such statement.

Section 2.06. Increased Capital Costs . If Lender determines in its sole discretion that any Change in Law or any change in accounting rules regarding capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital under this Agreement as a consequence of such Change in Law or change in accounting rules, then from time to time Borrower will compensate Lender for such reduced rate of return suffered as a consequence of such Change in Law or change in accounting rules on terms similar to those imposed by Lender. Further, if due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by Lender with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement, or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority whether or not having the force of law, there shall be an increase in the cost to Lender as a consequence of the Loans or other advances of funds made by Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents relating to fundings or commitments under this Agreement, then Borrower shall, from time to time and upon demand by Lender, compensate Lender for such increased costs, and such amounts shall be deemed a part of the Obligations hereunder. Lender shall provide Borrower with notice as to any such Change in Law, change in accounting rules or change in compliance promptly following Lender’s receipt of actual knowledge thereof.

Loans may be prepaid in accordance with the terms of Section 2.09 hereof and, to the extent prepaid, provided the Wind Down Date shall not have occurred, may be re-borrowed hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof (including satisfaction of all conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02 ). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts owing under the Facility shall be immediately due and payable on the Termination Date.

(b) If, on any Business Day (a “ Borrowing Base Shortfall Day ”), the Lender provides written notice to the Borrower that the Lender has determined in its sole reasonable discretion based on the Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered by the Lender pursuant to Section 2.04 that the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount on such day exceeds the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Available Facility Amount on such day (such circumstance, a “ Borrowing Base Deficiency ”), the Borrower (i) on the same day if the Lender notifies Borrower by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, or (ii) if the notice is received later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time), then within one (1) Business Day after the Borrowing Base Shortfall Day, shall repay outstanding Loans (including accrued Interest thereon), in an amount equal to the amount of the Borrowing Base Deficiency specified in the notice provided to the Borrower by the Lender (such requirement a “ Margin Call ”).

Section 2.09. Optional Prepayment . The Borrower may, at its option, prepay any Loan advanced hereunder in full or in part on any date, but not more than once per month; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be permitted at any time, without limitation, to prepay any Loan in connection with a Margin Call (any such date, an “ Optional Prepayment Date ”). Any such prepayment received by the Lender by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Optional Prepayment Date shall be applied by the Lender on such Business Day. Any such prepayment received by the Lender after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Optional Prepayment Date shall be applied by the Lender on the following Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, any optional prepayment in full shall not result in the termination of this Agreement unless such termination is declared in writing by the Borrower, acting in its discretion.

(a) Optional Acceleration . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(n) , the Lender may by written notice to the Borrower, terminate the Facility and declare all Loans and all other Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

(b) Automatic Acceleration . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(n) the Facility shall be automatically terminated and the Loans and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such event, without demand or notice of any kind.

(c) Remedies . Upon any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02 , the Lender, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, shall have all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative. The Borrower agrees, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice from the Lender, to assemble, at its expense, all of the Collateral that is in its possession (whether by return, repossession, or otherwise) at a place designated by the Lender. All out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Lender in the collection of all Obligations, and the enforcement of its rights hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, shall be paid out of the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02 , the Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without notice, advertisement, hearing or process of law of any kind, (i) enter upon any premises where any of the Collateral which is in the possession of the Borrower (whether by return, repossession, or otherwise) may be located and take possession of and remove such Collateral, (ii) sell any or all of such Collateral, free of all rights and claims of the Borrower therein and thereto, at any public or private sale, and (iii) bid for and purchase any or all of such Collateral at any such sale.

The Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notices, advertisements, hearings or process of law in connection with the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Each of the Lender and the Borrower shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bid for and purchase any or all Collateral at any public or private sale. The Borrower hereby agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral, the Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including, without limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority, and the Borrower further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall not be liable for any sale, private or public, conducted in accordance with this Section 8.02(c) . If an Event of Default occurs, and upon acceleration of the Loans hereunder, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and collections on the Eligible Servicing Rights and proceeds of sales and securitizations of Eligible Servicing Rights, and other Collateral will be used to pay the Obligations.

(d) In the event that Borrower receives a notice from an Agency indicating a material breach, material default or material non-compliance by the Borrower that the Lender reasonably determines may entitle such Agency to terminate the Borrower, which breach, default or non-compliance has not been satisfactorily cured or remedied within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by the Borrower of such notice, or such lesser time as Lender believes is necessary to protect its interest and provides Borrower with written notice thereof, as the case may be, the Lender may by written notice to the Borrower, terminate the Facility and declare all Loans and all other Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

Section 8.03. Collection Account; Application of Proceeds .

(a) Collection Account . Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Lender shall have established at Bank, in the name of the Lender a non-interest bearing segregated special purpose trust account (such account being herein called the “ Collection Account ”). The Lender will maintain the Collection Account only with a bank acceptable to the Lender. The Borrower shall or shall cause the Subservicer to deposit all Collections received by it into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.

(b) Distributions Prior to an Event of Default . So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Borrower may withdraw amounts on deposit in the Collection Account at any time.

(c) Distributions After an Event of Default . The Lender may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from, the Borrower, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Collection Account to satisfy the Borrower’s obligations under the Facility Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(d) On each Business Day during which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Lender shall apply Collections in the following order to pay:

(i) to the Lender, any fees due pursuant to the terms hereof;

(ii) to the Lender or any Indemnified Party an amount equal to any other amounts (including the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount) then due to such Persons pursuant to this Agreement that have not been paid by the Borrower (and to the extent that there are insufficient funds to pay all of the foregoing amounts, such amount shall be distributed to the foregoing parties, pro rata in accordance with the amounts due to such parties); and

(iii) any remaining amounts to the Borrower by transferring such amount to the account specified in writing by the Borrower.

The Lender may assign any or all of its rights and, with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), its obligations, under this Agreement, under any Loan pursuant to this Agreement or under the other Facility Documents, to any other entity; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not be subject to any increased costs or expenses as a result of such assignment made without Borrower’s consent.

If any interest in any Facility Document is transferred to any assignee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such assignee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.02 .

Section 9.04. Permitted Participants; Effect . The Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time (and from time to time) sell to one or more banks or other entities (each a “ Participant ”) participating interests in any Loan owing to the Lender, any Note held by the Lender, any Available Facility Amount of the Lender, or any other interest of the Lender under this Agreement or the other Facility Documents. In the event of any such sale by the Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) the Lender’s obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Borrower for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for the purposes under the Loan Documents. All amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if the Lender had not sold such participating interests. The Borrower and the Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with each other in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under the Facility Documents.

Section 9.05. Voting Rights of Participants . The Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Facility Documents other than any amendment, modification, or waiver with respect to any Loan or Available Facility Amount in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest, or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan or Available Facility Amount, extends the Wind Down Date, postpones any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan or Available Facility Amount or releases all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as expressly permitted pursuant to the Facility Documents).

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01. Indemnities by the Borrower . Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, the Lender, its Affiliates, successors, permitted transferees and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an “ Indemnified Party ”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “ Indemnified Amounts ”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) in the event that the Lender has assigned its rights or delegated its obligations in respect of this Agreement, and the Indemnified Amounts with respect to such assignee exceed the Indemnified Amounts that would otherwise have been payable by the Borrower to the Lender, the amount of such excess, (c) taxes expressly excluded from Taxes in Section 3.02(a) above (other than any such Taxes that are incremental and arise solely by reason of a breach by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement), and (d) any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages of any Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Lender in connection with any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Collateral, the Borrower will save, indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by the Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the Borrower. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Lender as and when billed by the Lender for all the Lender’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of the Lender’s rights under this Agreement, the Note, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the fees and disbursements of its counsel. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the obligation of the Borrower under the Note is a recourse obligation of the Borrower. Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable to the Borrower for any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Section 10.02. General Provisions . If for any reason the indemnification provided above in Section 10.01 (and subject to the limitations on indemnification contained therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless on the basis of public policy, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The provisions of this Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

(a) Subject to Section 11.13(h) below, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the prompt payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Any such payment shall be made at such place and in the same currency as such relevant Guaranteed Obligation is payable. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not solely of collection and is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

(b) The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Guarantor agrees that this guaranty may be enforced by Lender without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise and Guarantor hereby waives the right to require Lender to proceed against any other Person or to require the Lender to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent Lender from suing in any jurisdiction on this Agreement or any other Facility Document or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it under this Agreement or any instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither Guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by reason of the application of the laws of any foreign jurisdiction. Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance of by Lender upon this guaranty or acceptance of this guaranty. The Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between Borrower and Guarantor, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty.

(c) Guarantor agrees that (a) all or any part of the security which hereafter may be held for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) the Lender shall not have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests or Liens which hereafter may be held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations or the properties subject thereto; (c) the time or place of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed, increased or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) Borrower and any other party liable for payment under this Agreement may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Facility Document may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

(d) Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of this guaranty by the Lender and of all transfers of funds to Borrower by Lender; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of Lender obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any Lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or Lender’s subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such Liens, if any; (e) all other notices to which Borrower might otherwise be entitled in connection with the guaranty evidenced by this Section 11.13; and (f) demand for payment under this guaranty.

(e) The obligations of Guarantor under this Section 11.13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Lender on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

(f) Guarantor agrees that, as between Guarantor, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantor.

(g) Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.13(a), whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (as now or hereinafter in effect).
