If Seller or Guarantor shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Tax from any sums payable to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant, then (i) the Seller or Guarantor shall make such deductions or withholdings and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; (ii) to the extent the withheld or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 11.e) Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; and (iii) the Seller shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount paid and shall provide the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment within ten (10) days thereafter.

(ii)  Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and Buyer assignee and participant to deliver to each of the Seller or Guarantor, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or Guarantor, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or Guarantor as will permit payments made hereunder to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and Buyer assignee and participant, if reasonably requested by Seller or Guarantor, to deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller or Guarantor as will enable the Seller or Guarantor to determine whether or not such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation in Section 11.e(ii)(A), (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in the Buyer’s or any Buyer’s assignee’s or participant’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative

- 43 -

Agent shall cause a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant to deliver to each of the Seller or Guarantor, to the extent legally entitled to do so:    

(A) in the case of a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant which is a “U.S. Person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)  Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax;  

(B) in the case of a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant which is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Code section 7701(a)(30): (I) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BENE-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, evidencing entitlement to a zero percent or reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax withholding on any payments made hereunder, (II) in the case of such non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from the withholding of U.S. federal income tax under Code sections 871(h) or 881(c) with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a duly executed certificate (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) to the effect that such non-U.S. Person is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller, Guarantor or affiliate thereof, within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(B), or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Code section 881(c)(3)(C), (III) to the extent such non-U.S. person is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such  non-U.S. person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such non-U.S. person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such non-U.S. person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, and (IV) executed originals of any other form or supplementary documentation prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by law to permit Seller or Guarantor to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(C) if a payment made to a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or assignee or participant 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), Administrative Agent on behalf of such Buyer or assignee or participant shall deliver to the Seller or Guarantor at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as may be necessary for the Seller to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11.e, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

- 44 -

The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by Administrative Agent on behalf of each applicable Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant under this Agreement, as the case may be, and upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any IRS form previously delivered by it hereunder

f.          Any indemnification payable by Seller or Guarantor to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are imposed on such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant, as described in Section 11.e(i) hereof, shall be paid by Seller or Guarantor within ten (10) days after demand therefor from Administrative Agent.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller or Guarantor by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

g.         Each party’s obligations under this Section 11 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer or a Buyer assignee or participant, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Agreement.

h.         Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans, and the Purchased Mortgage Loans as owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and Seller agree that they will treat and report for all tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from a Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise prohibited by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for tax purposes.

12.Servicing

a.    Seller, on Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ behalf, shall service the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that Seller customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and Agency, GNMA, HUD, FHA and VA guidelines, as applicable.  The Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Administrative Agent or Buyers in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder.  Administrative Agent may terminate the servicing of any Mortgage Loan with the then existing Servicer in accordance with Section 12.d hereof.

b.   Seller shall hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by Seller as Servicer with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loans in trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.  

c.    Seller shall deposit all collections received by Seller and Servicer on the Purchased Mortgage Loans in the Securities Account on a daily basis within one

- 45 -

(1) Business Day following receipt; provided, however, that any amounts required to be remitted to Administrative Agent shall be deposited in the Securities Account on or prior to the day on which such remittance is to occur.  

d.   Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately terminate Seller’s right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Administrative Agent as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.

e.    If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Seller or any entity responsible to Seller for managing or servicing any such Purchased Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Administrative Agent.

f.    For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Mortgage Loans are sold to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers on a “servicing-released” basis with such servicing retained by Seller.

13.       Representations and Warranties

a.    Each of Seller and Guarantor represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Buyers as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:

(1)    Seller and Guarantor Existence.  Each of Seller and Guarantor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(3)    Power.  Each of Seller and Guarantor has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(4)    Due Authorization.  Each of Seller and Guarantor has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable.  This Agreement, any Transaction Request and the Program Agreements have been (or, in the case of Program Agreements and any Transaction Request not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and Guarantor, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against Seller and Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

(5)    Financial Statements.  

a.    Guarantor has heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent a copy of its consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of Guarantor ended December 31, 2019 and the related consolidated statements of income for Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP.  All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations as at such dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.  Since December 31, 2019, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Guarantor aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse change.  Guarantor has, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this Section (the “Statement Date”) no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Guarantor except as heretofore disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing.

(6)    Event of Default.  There exists no Event of Default under Section 15.b hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in Section 15.b hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to the repurchase of mortgage loans or securities.

(7)    Solvency.  Each of Seller and Guarantor is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction, will not 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 and is not 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 such entity or any of its assets.  The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Mortgage Loans.  Seller is not transferring any Purchased Mortgage Loans with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

(8)    No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each of Seller and Guarantor of this Agreement or any Transaction Request hereunder and the Program Agreements do not conflict with any term or provision of the organizational documents of Seller or Guarantor or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to Seller or Guarantor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over Seller or Guarantor, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which Seller or Guarantor is a party.

(16)      Investment Company.  Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to register as an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; provided, however, that any entity that is under the management of PNMAC Capital Management LLC in its capacity as an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is otherwise not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by Seller shall not be deemed a “Subsidiary” for the purposes of this Section 13.a(16).

(17)      Chief Executive Office; Jurisdiction of Organization.  On the Effective Date, Seller’s chief executive office, is, and has been, located at 3043 Townsgate Road, Westlake Village, CA 91361.

In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred:

a.    Administrative Agent may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, 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).  Administrative Agent shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller) give notice to Seller and Guarantor of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

b.   If Administrative Agent exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Mortgage Loan, including Servicer Advances, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Administrative Agent and applied, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Seller (provided that any determination with respect to what portion of the Purchase Price is attributed to the Purchase Price-Base, Purchase Price-Incremental 1 or Purchase Price-Incremental 2 shall be made in accordance with the Purchase Price definition), and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent the Mortgage Files relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control.

c.    Administrative Agent also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files

- 62 -

of Seller relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Servicer Advances and all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller.  To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Mortgage Loans held by Custodian, Administrative Agent shall present to Custodian an Asset Confirm.  Without limiting the rights of Administrative Agent hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Administrative Agent for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Administrative Agent from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

d.   Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Administrative Agent, and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause.  In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances and liquidate all Repurchase Assets.  Such disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances may be, at Administrative Agent’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis.  Administrative Agent shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances with respect to any such disposition thereof.  Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Servicer Advances.  The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof.  Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Administrative Agent to dispose of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, Servicer Advances or the Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market.  Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances individually for the prevailing price. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances, to give Seller credit for

- 63 -

such Purchased Mortgage Loans, Servicer Advances and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Servicer Advances against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder.

e.    Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Administrative Agent may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Servicer Advances and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

f.    Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and each Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting  creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Administrative Agent and Buyers) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

g.   To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights hereunder.  Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this Section 16.g shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase 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.

19.       Single Agreement

Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller acknowledge they have entered hereunto, 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, each of Administrative Agent, Buyers and

- 69 -

Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, and (ii)  that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that (a) a Buyer is not an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, Alpine or CS Cayman (a “Non-Affiliate Buyer”), (b) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and (c) Administrative Agent provides written notice to the Seller to sever each Non-Affiliate Buyer’s Transactions (the “Non-Affiliate Transactions”) and treat such Non-Affiliate Transactions as separate Transactions under this Agreement (a “Severance Notice”), then Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller Parties acknowledge that each such Non-Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed a separate Transaction under a separate and distinct agreement with the same terms and conditions as set forth herein (each a “Non-Affiliate MRA”), and each such Non-Affiliate Buyer shall be deemed to be the administrative agent with respect to its respective Non-Affiliate Transactions under its respective Non-Affiliate MRA; provided, that Transactions owned by Administrative Agent, Alpine and CS Cayman or any respective Affiliate shall continue to be deemed a single Transaction with Administrative Agent serving as the administrative agent for Alpine, CS Cayman or any respective Affiliate, in each case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

20.       Notices and Other Communications

21.       Entire Agreement; Severability

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions.  Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

22.       Non Assignability

a.    Assignments. The Program Agreements are not assignable by Seller or Guarantor. Subject to Section 37 (Acknowledgment of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement) hereof, the Administrative Agent and Buyers may from time to time assign all or a portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements; provided, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred, (i) an assignment by a Committed Buyer or (ii) an assignment to a non-Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Buyers, shall, in each case, require Seller’s prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees or participants (the “Register”) and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Administrative Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller, Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the preceding sentence as a Buyer hereunder. Upon such assignment and recordation in the Register, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement 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 Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder, as applicable, and (b) Administrative Agent and Buyers shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by them pursuant to this Section, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements.  Any assignment hereunder shall be deemed a joinder of such assignee as a Buyer hereto. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Administrative Agent unless otherwise notified by Administrative Agent in writing.  Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual assignee this Agreement, the other Program Agreements, any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Seller.

- 72 -

b.   Participations.  Any Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Program Agreements; provided, however, that (i) such Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent and/or Buyers in connection with such Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements except as provided in Section 11.  Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual participant this Agreement, the other Program Agreements any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Seller; provided, that, Administrative Agent or Buyers, as applicable, will cause such party to execute and deliver a non-disclosure agreement whereby such prospective or actual participant agrees to  keep such information delivered by Administrative Agent or any Buyer to such party confidential, on substantially similar terms as set forth in Section 32 of this Agreement.

23.       Set-off

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

24.       Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction

a.    This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Seller acknowledges that the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Administrative Agent and Buyers.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (EXCEPT FOR SECTION 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

b.   EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE

- 73 -

STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE TO, 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 AGREEMENTS.

25.       No Waivers, Etc.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.  Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6.a, 16.a or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

26.       Intent

a.    The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of Seller, Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Buyers further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).  

b.   Administrative Agent’s or a Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets, Repurchase Assets and Mortgage Loans delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

- 74 -

c.    The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

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

e.    This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 101(47), Section 555, Section 559 and Section 741 under the Bankruptcy Code.

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

g.   For U.S. federal tax purposes, the Seller, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, each Administrative Agent assignee, the Buyers, and each Buyer assignee by acquiring an interest in any Transaction agree to treat and report each Transaction as indebtedness issued by the Seller or the Guarantor as the case may be, which indebtedness, in the case of each obligor, shall have but a single maturity for purposes of Code section 7701(i)(2)(A)(ii) and U.S. Treasury Regulation section 301.7701(i)-1(e).

27.       Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

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

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

c.    in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not

- 75 -

a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

28.       Power of Attorney

Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem appropriate.  Seller hereby appoints Administrative Agent as Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Administrative Agent deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact.  This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Administrative Agent’s consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Default hereunder. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28.  In addition the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute an amended and restated power of attorney in the form of Exhibit E hereto (the “Power of Attorney”), to be delivered on the date hereof.

29.       Buyers May Act Through Administrative Agent

Each Buyer has designated the Administrative Agent for the purpose of performing any action hereunder.

30.       Indemnification; Obligations

a.    Each of Seller and Guarantor agrees to hold Administrative Agent, Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Request, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, (i) any such liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses arising from any acts or omissions of such party and (ii) any wire fraud or data or systems intrusions which causes Administrative Agent or Buyers to suffer any such liability, loss, damage, judgment, cost and/or expense) resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each of Seller and Guarantor also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein, any Transaction Request and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.  Seller’s and Guarantor’s agreements in this Section 30

shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.  Each of Seller and Guarantor hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and Guarantor and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.  Each of Seller and Guarantor also agrees not to assert any claim against Administrative Agent 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 facility established hereunder, 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.   Without limitation to the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction is made by Seller other than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 16 or for any other reason, Seller shall, upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers an amount sufficient to compensate Buyers for any losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as of a result of such payment.

c.    Without limiting the provisions of Section 30.a hereof, if Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Administrative Agent (subject to reimbursement by Seller), in its sole discretion.

31.       Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in a Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.  The parties agree that this Agreement, any addendum or amendment hereto or any other document necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be accepted, executed or agreed to through the use of an electronic signature in accordance with the E-SIGN, UETA and any applicable state law.  Any document accepted, executed or agreed to in conformity with such laws will be binding on all parties hereto to the same extent as if it were physically executed and each party hereby consents to the use of any secure third party electronic signature capture service providers with appropriate document access tracking, electronic signature tracking and document retention as may be approved by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

32.       Confidentiality

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreement, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Administrative Agent and Buyers or Agent or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Commitment Fee, Aggregate Purchase Price-Base, Aggregate Purchase Price-Incremental 1, Aggregate Purchase Price-Incremental 2, Asset Value, Asset Value-Base, Asset Value-Incremental 1, Asset Value-Incremental 2, Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price-Incremental 1, Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price-Incremental 2, Maximum Purchase Price-Incremental 1, Maximum Purchase Price Percentage-Incremental 2, Maximum Purchase Price Percentage-Incremental 1, Maximum Purchase Price Percentage-Incremental 2, Maximum Value Amount, Minimum Purchase Price-Incremental 2, Minimum Purchase Price Percentage-Incremental 2, Price Differential, Price Differential-Base, Price Differential-Incremental 1, Price Differential-Incremental 2, Pricing Rate, Pricing Rate-Base, Pricing Rate-Incremental 1, Purchase Price-Incremental 2, Purchase Price, Purchase Price-Base, Purchase Price -Incremental 1, Purchase Price-Incremental 2, Purchase Price Percentage, Purchase Price Percentage-Base, Purchase Price Percentage-Incremental 1, Purchase Price Percentage-Incremental 2 and any other fees specified in the Pricing Side Letter) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

b.   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”).  Seller understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as

- 78 -

that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.  Seller shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the Act) of  Administrative Agent and Buyers or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Buyers which Seller holds (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Seller represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect.  Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Administrative Agent and/or Buyers to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section.  Without limitation, this may include Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Seller.  Seller shall notify the Administrative Agent immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Administrative Agent, Buyers or any Affiliate of Buyers provided directly to Seller by Administrative Agent, Buyers or such Affiliate.  Seller shall provide such notice to Administrative Agent by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

33.       Recording of Communications

Administrative Agent, Buyers, Seller and Guarantor shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions.  Administrative Agent, Buyers, Seller and Guarantor consent to the admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration, or other proceedings.  The parties agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties’ agreement.

34.       Commitment Fee

No later than the date hereof, Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Committed Buyers in immediately available funds a non-refundable Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall be paid in quarterly equal installments which shall be paid on the date hereof and on the Price Differential Payment Date every third (3^rd) month hereafter.  All payments of the Commitment Fee shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Committed Buyers at such account designated by Administrative Agent.

35.       Periodic Due Diligence Review

Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Buyers have the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to Seller and the Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made

- 79 -

hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Administrative Agent, Buyers or their authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or Custodian.  Seller also shall make available to Administrative Agent and Buyers a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Buyers may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Administrative Agent and Buyers in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Administrative Agent or Buyers, at their option, have the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering BPOs, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Administrative Agent or Buyers may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent, Buyers and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent, Buyers and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller.  Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers in connection with Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ activities pursuant to this Section 35 (“Due Diligence Costs”); provided, that such Due Diligence Costs shall not exceed the Due Diligence Cap per calendar year unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, in which event Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have the right to perform due diligence, at the sole expense of Seller without regard to the dollar limitation set forth herein.

36.       Authorizations  

Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 2 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller or Administrative Agent to the extent set forth therein, as the case may be, under this Agreement.  The Seller may amend Schedule 2 from time to time by delivering a revised Schedule 2 to Administrative Agent and expressly stating that such revised Schedule 2 shall replace the existing Schedule 2.

37.       Acknowledgment of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement

Pursuant to Section 22 (Non assignability) of this Agreement, Administrative Agent may sell, transfer and convey or allocate certain Purchased Mortgage Loans, Purchased Assets and the related Repurchase Assets and related Transactions to certain affiliates of Administrative Agent and/or one or more CP Conduits (the “Additional Buyers”).  Seller and Guarantor each hereby acknowledges and agrees to the joinder of such Additional Buyers.  The Administrative Agent shall administer the provisions of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of

- 80 -

doubt, all payments, notices, communications and agreements pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to, and entered into by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Buyers and/or the Repledgees, as applicable.  Furthermore, to the extent that the Administrative Agent exercises remedies pursuant to this Agreement, any of the Administrative Agent and/or any Buyer will have the right to bid on and/or purchase any of the Repurchase Assets pursuant to Section 16 (Remedies Upon Default).  The benefit of all representations, rights, remedies and covenants set forth in the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of each Buyer and Repledgees, as applicable.  All provisions of the Agreement shall survive the transfers contemplated herein (including any Repledge Transactions).  Notwithstanding that multiple Buyers may purchase individual Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions entered into under this Agreement, all Transactions shall continue to be deemed a single Transaction and all of the Repurchase Assets shall be security for all of the Obligations hereunder.

38.       Acknowledgement of Anti-Predatory Lending Policies

Administrative Agent has in place internal policies and procedures that expressly prohibit its purchase of any High Cost Mortgage Loan.

39.       Documents Mutually Drafted

The Seller, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Buyers agree that this Agreement and each other Program Agreement prepared in connection with the Transactions set forth herein have been mutually drafted and negotiated by each party, and consequently such documents shall not be construed against either party as the drafter thereof.

40.       General Interpretive Principles

For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

a.    the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender;

b.   accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

c.    references herein to “Articles”, “Sections”, “Subsections”, “Paragraphs”, and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement;

d.   a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions;

e.    the words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision;

- 81 -

f.    the term “include” or “including” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration;

g.   all times specified herein or in any other Program Agreement  (unless expressly specified otherwise) are local times in New York, New York unless otherwise stated; and

h.   all references herein or in any Program Agreement to "good faith" means good faith as defined in Section 1-201(b)(20) of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York.

41.       Conflicts

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Program Agreement, the documents shall control in the following order of priority:  first, the terms of the Pricing Side Letter shall prevail, then the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and then the terms of the other Program Agreements shall prevail.

42.Pool Subdivisions

The Administrative Agent may from time to time deliver to Seller a Pool Subdivision Notice which notice shall identify a Pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans that shall be treated separately from the remaining Purchased Mortgage Loans (which remaining Purchased Mortgage Loans shall constitute another Pool).  The Administrative Agent may modify any such Pool Subdivision Notice from time to time to readjust the composition of the Pools identified therein.  Following delivery of a Pool Subdivision Notice, the calculations with respect to Price Differential (and all of the component calculations used in determining such calculation) shall be calculated separately on the basis of the Purchased Mortgage Loans comprising each Pool, which shall result in a separate Price Differential for each Pool.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Pool Subdivision Notice shall not (a) modify or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Program Agreements except as expressly contemplated in this Section 42; and (b) shall not be construed as a Severance Notice as contemplated by Section 19 of this Agreement.

43.       Bankruptcy Non-Petition

The parties hereby agree that they shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any Buyer that is a CP Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by the applicable CP Conduit is paid in full.

44.       Limited Recourse

The obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement or any other Program Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of such Buyer. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing by any Buyer under this Agreement, or for the payment by any Buyer of any fee in respect hereof or any other obligation or claim of or against such Buyer arising out of or based on this Agreement, against any stockholder, partner, member, employee, officer, director or

- 82 -

incorporator or other authorized person of such Buyer. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that all payment obligations of any Buyer that is a CP Conduit under this Agreement shall be limited recourse obligations of such Buyer, payable solely from the funds of such Buyer available for such purpose in accordance with its commercial paper program documents. Each party waives payment of any amount which such Buyer does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence until the day which is at least one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note (and waives any "claim" against such Buyer within the meaning of Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law for any such insufficiency until such date).

45.       Amendment and Restatement

Administrative Agent, Seller and Guarantor previously entered into the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement.  Administrative Agent, Seller and Guarantor desire to enter into this Agreement in order to amend and restate the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement in its entirety.  The amendment and restatement of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof, and each of Administrative Agent, Seller and Guarantor shall hereafter be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Program Agreements.  This Agreement amends and restates the terms and conditions of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement, and is not a novation of any of the agreements or obligations incurred pursuant to the terms of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement.  Accordingly, all of the agreements and obligations incurred pursuant to the terms of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement are hereby ratified and affirmed by the parties hereto and remain in full force and effect.   For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the Administrative Agent, Seller and Guarantor that the security interests and liens granted in the Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  All references to the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement in any Program Agreement or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof.

46.       Reaffirmation of Guaranty.

Guarantor hereby (i) agrees that the liability of Guarantor or rights of Administrative Agent under the Guaranty shall not be affected as a result of amending and restating this Agreement, (ii) ratifies and affirms all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations of the Guaranty and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that such Guaranty is and shall continue to be in full force and effect.

SCHEDULE 1-A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS

Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Administrative Agent with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan that is at all times subject to a Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Program Agreements and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect.  With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of a Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by such Seller or Administrative Agent that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty for purposes of determining Asset Value.

(a)        Payments Current.  Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO, all payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited.  Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO, no payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of Seller, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan.  The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.

(b)        No Outstanding Charges.  All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.  Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and/or interest thereunder.

(c)        Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note (and the Proprietary Lease, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Stock Power with respect to each Co-op Loan) and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except (i) by a written instrument which has been duly recorded or transmitted for recording, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyers, and which has been delivered to Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule and (ii) with respect to  a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO.  The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent

Schedule 1-A-1

required, and its terms are reflected on the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule.  No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule.  

(d)        No Defenses.  The Mortgage Loan (and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease related to each Co-op Loan) is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.  Seller has no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(e)        Hazard Insurance.  The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, or (iv) with respect to a GNMA EBO, the BPO Value, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines.  If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.  All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee.  No such notice has been received by Seller.  All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid.  The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor.  Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development.  The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect.  Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the

Schedule 1-A-2

Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(f)         Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Administrative Agent, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(g)        No Satisfaction of Mortgage.  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would affect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission (except with respect to subordination of a second lien HELOC to the first priority lien or security interest).  Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a GNMA EBO, Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(h)        Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State as identified in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise Co-op Project, or such other dwelling(s) conforming with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements; provided that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(i)         Valid First Lien.  The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and, with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Second Lien Mortgage Loans, perfected first priority lien and first priority security interest or, with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, a second lien or a second priority security interest, in each case, on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property.  The appraisal of the Mortgaged Property does not list any material repair or maintenance items.  The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

a.    the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

Schedule 1-A-3

b.    covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;

c.    other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property; and

d.    with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, a first lien.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable (a) with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Second Lien Mortgage Loans, first lien and first priority security interest and (b) with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, second lien and second priority interest, in each case, on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Administrative Agent.  The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

(j)         Validity of Mortgage Documents.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms.  All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties.  No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan.  Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed.  Such Purchased Mortgage Loan is a “closed” loan, is fully funded by Seller (except with respect to a HELOC), and held in Seller’s name.

(k)        Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  Except with respect to (i) a HELOC, (ii) a FHA 203(k) Loan, or (iii) an eligible, single-close, renovation or construction-to-permanent Agency Mortgage Loan, there is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were

Schedule 1-A-4

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’s discretion:

(a)       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 assets purchased by Administrative Agent on behalf of certain Buyers and/or Repledgees under the Fourth Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) dated September 9, 2020 (the “Assets”) including, without limitation, all Servicer Advances arising under or related to any Asset and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other assets whenever payable;

(b)       to pay or discharge taxes and liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Assets;

(c)       (i) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Administrative Agent or as Administrative Agent shall direct; (ii) 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 Assets; (iii) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Assets; (iv) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Assets; (v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Assets; (vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (v) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (vii) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Assets as fully and completely as though Administrative

Exhibit E-1

Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Administrative Agent’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Assets and Administrative Agent’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do;

(d)       for the purpose carrying out the transfer of servicing with respect to the Mortgage Loans from Seller to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish such transfer of servicing, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by Seller, to, in the name of Seller or its own name, or otherwise, prepare and send or cause to be sent “good-bye” letters and Section 404 Notices to all mortgagors under the Mortgage Loans, transferring the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

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

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

Seller also authorizes Administrative Agent, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Assets.

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

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