Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Wells Fargo Guam shall indemnify, defend, save and hold the Buyer and its Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all demands, claims, allegations, assertions, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, deficiencies, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees), interest, penalties, and all reasonable amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Damages”) which any of them may suffer, incur or sustain arising out of, attributable to, or resulting from (i) Wells Fargo Guam’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; or (ii) Wells Fargo Guam’s breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Wells Faro Guam in or pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.3. Indemnification by Wells Fargo Saipan. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Wells Fargo Saipan shall indemnify, defend, save and hold the Buyer Indemnitees harmless from and against all Damages which any of them may suffer, incur or sustain arising out of, attributable to, or resulting from (i) Wells Fargo Saipan’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; or (ii) Wells Fargo Saipan’s breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Wells Faro Saipan in or pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 6.4. Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer shall indemnify, defend, save and hold each of the Sellers and its Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Damages which any of them may suffer, incur or sustain arising out of, attributable to, or resulting from (i) the Buyer’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; or (ii) the Buyer’s breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement

Section 6.5. Defense of Claims.

(a) If any claim (the “Claim”) is filed or initiated against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), written notice thereof specifying in detail the source of the Claim or potential Claim under Section 6.2, Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, as the case may be, shall be given to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after notice of the Claim); provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification

hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, such attorneys to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense and to compromise or settle such Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and provided, further, that if the sole settlement relief payable to a third party in respect of such Claim is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and such settlement includes an unconditional term (subject only to the foregoing payment being concurrently made) releasing the Indemnified Party and its affiliates from all liability in respect of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof pursuant to this Section 6.5, the Indemnified Party against which such Claim has been filed or initiated will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, to the extent otherwise provided herein, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the

Indemnified Party assumes defense of the Claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement and will consult with, when appropriate, and consider any reasonable advice from, the Indemnifying Party of any such defense, compromise or settlement. To the extent otherwise provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.5 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any Claim under this Section 6.5, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate (but not control) such defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense, provided, that in any Claim where both an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, if counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably conclude in writing that there is a reasonably apparent conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one law firm reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense as separate counsel on behalf of the Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend, compromise or settle such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise or settlement of, such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any personnel or any books, records or other documents within its control that are reasonably necessary or appropriate for such defense, subject to the execution of appropriate confidentiality agreements.

(d) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification for any Claim or potential Claim arising from a claim asserted by any party to this Agreement against the Indemnifying Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party specifying in detail the source of the Claim or potential Claim under Section 6.2, Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, as the case may be.

Section 6.6. Limitation of Claims.

(a) The Buyer and each of the Sellers agree for themselves and on behalf of their other Indemnified Parties, respectively, that with respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement in no event shall the Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any consequential, special, exemplary, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items. In any case where an Indemnified Party actually recovers from a third person any amount in respect of a matter for which an Indemnifying Party has indemnified it pursuant to this Article VI, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered. Any breach of any representation or warranty of a party resulting from any actions taken (or omitted) by such party at the express written direction or request of the other party or in complying with or performing its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed a breach of a representation or warranty for the purpose of Section 6.2, Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 of this Article VI.

(b) Each of the parties agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any right of action which an Indemnified Party may have against another person with respect to any matter giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder.

(d) None of the Indemnified Parties shall have any right to seek indemnification under Section 6.2, Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, as the case may be, until Damages with respect to all indemnification claims against the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other, in the aggregate pursuant to this Article VI, of the Indemnified Parties exceed $2,000,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), after which time only the aggregate amount of such Damages in excess of the Threshold Amount shall be recoverable in accordance with the terms hereof.

(e) None of the Indemnified Parties shall have any right to obtain any indemnification under Section 6.2, Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 hereof to the extent amounts received by the Indemnified Parties in the aggregate as indemnification hereunder exceed $20,000,000 (the “Cap”).

Section 6.7. Indemnity Not Effective Until Consummation. The indemnification provisions of this Article VI shall not be effective until the consummation of the Closing on the Closing Date. Following the Closing, and in the absence of fraud on the part of a Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy (in addition to any insurance coverage) for the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be the indemnification provided for in this Article. The Buyer acknowledges and understands that neither Seller shall have any repurchase obligation with respect to any Loan or Loan Document transferred to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII – CREDIT LOSSES

Section 7.1. Credit Loss Reimbursement Obligation. (a) For each twelve month period commencing as of the first date of the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs, and for each twelve-month period commencing as of each anniversary of such date through the fifth anniversary of such date (each such twelve-month period, a “Reimbursement Period”, and such five-year period, the “Reimbursement Term”), the Sellers shall make reimbursement payments to the Buyer for “credit losses” incurred by the Buyer in connection

with the Loans to the extent such payments are owing pursuant to this Article VII. The amount of any reimbursement payments to be paid by the Sellers to the Buyer shall be calculated pursuant to this Article VII. For the purposes of this Agreement, “credit losses” shall mean credit losses incurred or charge-offs taken by the Buyer with respect to any Loans sold to the Buyer by the Sellers; provided that such credit losses or charge-offs are taken by the Buyer in a manner consistent with its customary loan-loss and charge-off practices.

(b) Within thirty (30) days of the end of any Reimbursement Period in which reimbursement payments are owed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers a written reimbursement claim (a “Reimbursement Claim”) indicating the amount of reimbursement payment owed to the Buyer by the Sellers for such Period. Such Reimbursement Claim shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations used to determine the amount of such reimbursement payment, including (1) the average aggregate monthly principal balance of all of the Loans in the relevant Reimbursement Period, (2) the Reimbursement Threshold Amount (as defined in Section 7.1(c) below) for the relevant Reimbursement Period, (3) credit losses incurred or charge-offs taken during such Period, and (4) recoveries, if any, realized by the Buyer with respect to any Loans transferred pursuant to this Agreement and any loans (the “Charged-off Loans”) sold to the Buyer by the Sellers pursuant to the terms of that Charged-off Loan Purchase Agreement dated as of December 15, 2011, by and among the Buyer and the Sellers (the “Charged-off Loan Agreement”). With thirty (30) days of its receipt of any Reimbursement Claim, the Sellers shall either pay to the Buyer the amount of reimbursement payment indicated

as owing in the Reimbursement Claim or communicate to the Buyer the basis upon which the Sellers disagree with the amount of the reimbursement payment indicated as owing in such Reimbursement Claim. Should the Sellers disagree with the Buyers as to the amount of any reimbursement payment, the parties agree to cooperate to resolve any differences the parties may have with respect to such reimbursement payment.

(c) The Buyer shall have no right to any reimbursement payment for a Reimbursement Period under this Article VII unless aggregate credit losses with respect to the Loans during such period exceed .50% of the principal balance of all the Loans calculated based on an average aggregate monthly balance in the relevant Reimbursement Period (the “Reimbursement Threshold Amount”), and in such case, only the aggregate amount of such credit losses in excess of the Reimbursement Threshold Amount shall be paid to the Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof. Any reimbursement payment owed for a Reimbursement Period shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis to the extent of recoveries realized by the Buyer during such Reimbursement Period with respect to any Loans transferred pursuant to this Agreement and any Charged-off Loans.

(d) The amount of the reimbursement payment payable to Buyer by the Sellers for any Reimbursement Period under this Article VII shall not exceed $320,000 in the aggregate.

(e) The Sellers shall have no reimbursement obligation for any credit losses except as provided in this Article VII.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Sellers understand, acknowledge and agree that the Buyer shall have no obligation to initiate or continue to pursue the recovery of any Charged-off Loans and that any such action shall be in Buyer’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE VIII — INSURANCE INDEMNITY

Section 8.1. Casualty Losses. (a) The Buyer and the Sellers acknowledge that certain Loan Files with respect to Loans that constitute Wells Fargo Guam Mortgage Loans or Wells Fargo Saipan Mortgage Loans may fail to show or contain adequate or customary evidence of insurance on the real property securing such Loans.

(b) The relevant Seller agrees that it will indemnify the Buyer for any casualty loss incurred by the Buyer with respect to any Wells Fargo Guam Mortgage Loan or Wells Fargo Saipan Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, but only to the extent that such casualty loss arises by virtue of the fact that insurance policies, that are required to be maintained on the real property securing such Loan under the relevant Loan Documents, are not in place or have otherwise lapsed or expired. For purposes hereof, a casualty loss shall equal the amount the Buyer would have recovered with respect to the casualty event had such insurance policies been in place or otherwise had not lapsed or expired.

unless (i) the event giving rise to any such casualty loss occurs within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Closing Date and (ii) the relevant Seller receives written notice from the Buyer of a claim for indemnification under Section 8.1(b) within two hundred ten (210) days of the Closing Date. Such written notice shall indicate the amount claimed to be owed along with an explanation of the facts supporting the claim for indemnification.

(d) The Buyer shall have no any right to seek indemnification under Section 8.1(b) until casualty losses with respect to all indemnification claims against the Sellers in the aggregate pursuant to Section 8.1(b) exceed $50,000, after which time, only the aggregate amount of such casualty losses in excess of such amount shall be recoverable in accordance with the terms of the Article VIII. In addition, the Buyer shall have no right to obtain any indemnification under Section 8.1(a) to the extent amounts received by the Seller in the aggregate as indemnification thereunder exceed $5,000,000.

ARTICLE IX

NON-COMPETITION

Section 9.1. Non-Compete. Each of Wells Fargo Guam and Wells Fargo Saipan agrees that it shall not engage in the Business within Guam or the CNMI for a period of one (1) year from the Closing Date (the “Non-compete Period”). Nothing contained in this Section 9.1, however, shall preclude either Seller (i) from acquiring, during the Non-compete Period, any

business or making any investment in any venture that may engage in the Business within Guam, the CNMI or elsewhere; (ii) from succeeding in any manner or capacity, during the Non-compete Period, to any business (including the Business) within Guam or the CNMI that currently is conducted by any affiliate of such Seller or that may be acquired by any such affiliate; (iii) servicing, administering or otherwise engaging in collection efforts with respect to any of its assets in Guam or CNMI that are not to be sold, transferred or assigned to the Buyer hereunder or under the Charged-off Loan Agreement; or (iv) from providing any of the services contemplated by the Interim Servicing Agreement or the Charged-off Loan Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business” shall mean the origination and servicing of consumer loans secured by mortgages/deeds of trust encumbering real property and other collateral, consumer loans unsecured or secured by automobiles and/or other personal property, and retail installment sales contracts and revolving charge agreements.

ARTICLE X

(b) change its material operating policies;

(c) modify any Loan or grant any discretionary release of collateral or guarantees related to any Loan in a manner that is inconsistent with its ordinary course of business or inconsistent with its policies and procedures in effect as of the date of this Agreement; or
