All or any part of the amounts under this Section 2.06 may only be applied by the Buyer to the extent that such proceeds have been received by, or for the account of, the Seller free and clear of all Ginnie Mae rights and other restrictions on transfer under applicable Ginnie Mae guidelines.

If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) to the extent the withheld or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.09) such Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any Other Taxes.

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on such Buyer (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.09) and any liability including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 2.09 shall apply and be made whether or not the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.09(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, each party’s obligations contained in this Section 2.09 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Program Agreements.

None of such documents has been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (including waivers) since the respective dates thereof, except by amendments, copies of which have been delivered to Buyer.

Seller is a Ginnie Mae approved issuer. To the extent necessary, Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee and a VA Approved Lender. Seller is also approved, to the extent necessary, by the Secretary of HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. In each such case, Seller is in good standing, with no event having occurred or Seller having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur, including a change in insurance coverage which would either make Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to Ginnie Mae or to HUD, FHA, VA, PIH or the USDA Rural Housing Service. Should Seller for any reason cease to possess all such applicable approvals, or should notification to Ginnie Mae or to HUD, FHA, VA, PIH or the USDA Rural Housing Service be required, Seller shall so notify Buyer promptly in writing.

Section 3.19 Compliance with 1933 Act. Neither Seller nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Participation Certificates, any interest in the Participation Certificates or any other similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Participation Certificates, any interest in the Participation Certificates or any other similar security from, or otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Participation Certificates, any interest in the Participation Certificates or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or taken any other action which would constitute a distribution of the Participation Certificates under the 1933 Act or which would render the disposition of the Participation Certificates a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto.

CONVEYANCE; REPURCHASE ASSETS; SECURITY INTEREST

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

Section 4.02 Security Interest.

(a) Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (other than the MSRs, which are pledged, and not sold, to Buyer), in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Repurchase Assets”:

(i) the Participation Certificates and all MSRs related thereto, including but not limited to Acquired MSRs, whether such MSRs are in existence on the date such Participation Certificate becomes the subject of a Transaction hereunder or arise thereafter, and whether or not such Assets or the related Mortgage Pools are listed on an Asset Schedule;

(iii) all rights to reimbursement or payment of Assets and/or amounts due in respect thereof under the related Servicing Contract, Ginnie Mae MBS or Participation Agreement, including MBS Advances;

(vi) all records, instruments or other documentation evidencing any of the foregoing;

(vii) all “general intangibles,” “accounts,” “chattel paper,” “securities accounts,” “investment property,” “deposit accounts” and “money” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing (including all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and under the Participation Agreement and the Servicing Contracts); and

(viii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing;

provided, however, that the Repurchase Assets shall not include any Excluded Assets.

(b) Seller hereby assigns, pledges, conveys and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Repurchase Assets to Buyer to secure the Obligations. Seller agrees to mark its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder.

(c) The parties acknowledge that Ginnie Mae has certain rights under the Acknowledgment Agreement, including the right to cause the Seller to transfer servicing to Buyer or Buyer’s designee under certain circumstances as more particularly set forth therein. To the extent that Ginnie Mae requires a transfer of MSRs to a Successor Issuer, and in order to secure Seller’s obligations to effect such transfer, when and if such transfer is required, Seller hereby assigns, pledges, conveys and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the MSRs to such Successor Issuer, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located. The parties acknowledge that, to the

extent that Ginnie Mae exercises its rights to cause Seller to transfer the MSRs, including Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Portfolio Excess Spread, to a Successor Issuer (and, if accepted by Buyer, to cause a Successor Issuer to accept and assume the responsibility for performing Seller’s servicing duties under, and otherwise complying with the related Servicing Contract) without the requirement of payment therefor, such transfer shall be deemed a transfer in exchange for debt forgiveness by Buyer in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the fair market value of such MSRs, including Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Portfolio Excess Spread and (y) the outstanding balance of the Repurchase Price attributable to such MSRs, including Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Portfolio Excess Spread, each as determined by Buyer. The Successor Issuer shall have all the rights and remedies against Seller and the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets as set forth herein and under the UCC.

(d) The foregoing provisions of this Section are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

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

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

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:

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

(2) To the extent that the security interest reflected in this instrument relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages, such security interest is subject and subordinate to all rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under and in connection with: (i) 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g) and any implementing regulations; (ii) the terms and conditions of that certain Second Amended and Restated Acknowledgment Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2020, with respect to the Security Interest, by and among Ginnie Mae, Debtor and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee; (iii) applicable Guaranty Agreements and contractual agreements between Ginnie Mae and the Debtor; and (iv) the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, Handbook 5500.3 Rev. 1, and other applicable guides (items (i), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Ginnie Mae Contract”);

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

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

Section 4.06 Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full

irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller to do the following:

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

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

(iii) except to the extent inconsistent with the related Servicing Contracts and the Acknowledgment Agreement, request that MSRs be transferred to Buyer or to another servicer approved by Ginnie Mae and perform (without assuming or being deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of Seller thereunder) all aspects of each Servicing Contract that is a Purchased Asset;

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

(v) deal with investors and master servicers in respect of any of the Repurchase Assets in the same manner and with the same effect as if done by Seller; and

such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Repurchase Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

(b) Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated.

(c) Seller also authorizes Buyer, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.08 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets.

Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Buyer nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for Buyer’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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

Section 4.07 Performance by Buyer of Seller’s Obligations. If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Agreements and Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable (under the circumstances) out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer actually incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed from and including the preceding MRA Payment Date to and excluding such date of determination and a 360 day year.

Section 4.08 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Repurchase Assets received by Seller consisting of cash, checks and other liquid assets readily convertible to cash items shall be held by Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Seller, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Seller be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by Seller (duly endorsed by Seller to Buyer, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Buyer (whether from Seller or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Buyer, be held by Buyer as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time

thereafter may be applied by Buyer against, the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Buyer shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, the provisions of this Section 4.08 shall be subject to the applicable Servicing Contracts and the Acknowledgment Agreement entered into with Ginnie Mae.

Section 4.09 Remedies.

(plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated herein) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Repurchase Assets are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements in amounts reasonable under the circumstances, of any attorneys employed by Buyer to collect such deficiency.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any Excluded Assets.

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

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

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

Section 10.10 Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment.

(a) This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer or Seller, and shall be held by each party hereto

in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer (at the written direction of the Administrative Agent) or Seller, except for (i) disclosure to Buyer’s or Seller’s direct and indirect Affiliates and wholly owned subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, (ii) disclosure to Ginnie Mae or to the parties to the Indenture, including noteholders and investors related thereto, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (iii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreements, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms (including the Pricing Rate, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent Buyer at the written direction of the Administrative Agent).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Repurchase Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Seller understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Seller represents and warrants that it has implemented such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the GLB Act) of Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent which Seller holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Seller shall implement and maintain appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the GLB Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that Seller has satisfied its obligations as required under this section. Without limitation, this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Seller. Seller shall notify Buyer promptly following discovery of any material breach or material compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent provided directly to Seller by Buyer or the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent. Seller shall provide such notice to Buyer pursuant to Section 10.4.

Section 10.11 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by Applicable Law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Seller or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return funds to Seller), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of Seller or any Affiliate thereof. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

Section 10.12 Intent.

(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, and that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code.

(b) It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Section 555 and Section 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code.

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

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

(e) This Agreement is intended to be a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 under the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement,” within the meaning of Section 561 under the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 10.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) The Administrative Agent, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall be express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

Section 10.14 Owner Trustee Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by WSFS, not individually or personally but solely as trustee of Buyer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of Buyer is made and intended not as personal representations, warranties, undertakings and agreements by WSFS but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only Buyer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) WSFS has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement and (e) under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of Buyer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by Buyer under this Agreement or any other related documents.

Section 10.15 Actions and Discretion of Buyer. Any provision providing for the exercise of any action or discretion by Buyer shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of either 100% of the VFN Noteholders or the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes. To the extent there are conflicting directions between 100% of the VFN Noteholders and the Majority Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee will take its direction from 100% of the VFN Noteholders. In addition, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any approvals, consents, votes or other rights exercisable by Buyer under this Agreement shall be exercised at the direction of 100% of the VFN Noteholders with the consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.16 Amendment and Restatement; Consent. As of the date hereof, the terms and conditions of the Original PC Repurchase Agreement shall be amended and restated as set forth herein and the Original PC Repurchase Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement. The rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Original PC Repurchase Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and shall continue to be in full force and effect as set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Buyer, Seller, the Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and CSCIB, as 100% of the VFN Noteholders, hereby consents to this Agreement and acknowledges and agrees that the amendments effected by this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date.
