(b)Methods of Payment.  On or prior to the Purchase Date for each Transaction, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 (with respect to the Initial Transaction) and Section 5.02 and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall instruct the Disbursement Account Bank to remit by wire transfer of same day funds the Purchase Price for all Transactions to the Disbursement Account no later than two (2) hours prior to a requested Transaction for all Transactions where all conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 (with respect to the Initial Transaction) and Section 5.02 and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied.  Buyer shall not be obligated to comply with any Transaction Request received at any time after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time).  Upon receipt of such funds and the receipt of the Haircut with respect to such Transactions pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Disbursement Agent Agreement, as applicable, the Disbursement Agent shall remit such funds by wire transfer in accordance with Seller's wire instructions set forth in the applicable Transaction Request or to its Approved Payee, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, following notice to Seller, Buyer shall not be obligated to direct the Disbursement Agent to pay, and the Disbursement Agent shall not be obligated to pay in accordance with such direction of Buyer, the Purchase Price and the related Haircut, as applicable, under any method of payment to any Closing Agent, Qualified Originator or Warehouse Lender that is not an Approved Payee.  Further, the payment of the Purchase Price and the related Haircut, as applicable, by the Disbursement Agent to any Closing Agent, Qualified Originator or Warehouse Lender that is not an Approved Payee shall not make such Closing Agent, Qualified Originator or Warehouse Lender an Approved Payee.  Any funds disbursed by Buyer to the Disbursement Account or by the Disbursement Agent to Seller or its Approved Payee shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, regulations and policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Reduction of Payments System Risk.  Seller acknowledges that as a result of such applicable laws, regulations and policies, equipment malfunction, Buyer’s or the Disbursement Agent's approval procedures or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Buyer or the Disbursement Agent, the payment of a Purchase Price and the related Haircut, as applicable, may be delayed.  Buyer or the Disbursement Agent shall not be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to any such delays.

(c)Transaction Limitations and Other Restrictions Relating to Closing Agents or Warehouse Lender.  Notwithstanding that a particular Transaction Request will not cause the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price to exceed the Maximum Amount if the payment of the Purchase Price for such Transaction to the related Closing Agent, Qualified Originator or Warehouse Lender will violate Buyer's applicable policies and procedures regarding payments to Closing Agents, Qualified Originators or Warehouse Lenders, Buyer may, upon prior notice to Seller, refuse to direct the Disbursement Agent to pay, and the Disbursement Agent shall not pay in accordance with such direction of Buyer, the Purchase Price to such Closing Agent, Qualified Originator or Warehouse Lender.

(d)Return of Purchase Price.  If a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is not closed on the same day on which the Purchase Price was funded, the applicable Seller shall promptly return, or cause to be immediately returned (but in any event within one (1) Business Day of any Seller's or Guarantor’s knowledge or receipt of notice of such non-closure) the Purchase Price with respect to such Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Buyer's wire instructions set forth on Exhibit E.  Further, Seller shall pay Buyer all fees and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection

-30-

---

-31-

---

(b)Approval Process.  Upon submission by Seller of the documents in accordance with Section 2.07(a), such Closing Agent or Correspondent’s Warehouse Bank shall be an Approved Payee with respect to such Purchase Price.  Buyer may withdraw its approval of any Closing Agent or Correspondent’s Warehouse Bank as an Approved Payee if Buyer becomes aware of any facts or circumstances at any time related to such Closing Agent or Correspondent’s Warehouse Bank which Buyer determines materially and adversely affects the Closing Agent or Correspondent’s Warehouse Bank or otherwise makes the Closing Agent or Correspondent’s Warehouse Bank unacceptable as an Approved Payee.

2.08Limitation on Types of Transactions; Illegality.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR Base Rate:

(a)the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate” in the Pricing Side Letter are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining Price Differential for Transactions as provided herein; or

-32-

---

(b)the Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the relevant rate referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate” in the Pricing Side Letter upon the basis of which the Price Differential for Transactions is to be determined is not likely adequate to cover the cost to the Buyer of entering into or maintaining Transactions; or

(c)it becomes unlawful for the Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions hereunder using a LIBOR Base Rate;

then the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) shall give the Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Buyer shall not be under any obligation to enter into any additional Transactions and the Seller shall pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding within three (3) Business Days; provided that, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above, and to the extent permitted under applicable law in the case of clause (c) above, Buyer shall select an alternative rate that will approximate the LIBOR Base Rate, and, if Seller agrees to pay such rate, Buyer shall continue to enter into Transactions under the terms of this Repurchase Agreement and the payment of the Repurchase Price shall not be accelerated pursuant to the terms of this sentence.

2.09Payment of Repurchase Price, Price Differential.

(a)The Seller hereby promises to pay in full on the Termination Date the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding.  In addition, the Seller shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loans from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date.  Each such payment and repurchase shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Funding Deposit Account.  Each obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Mortgage Loan.  The Seller is obligated to obtain the related Mortgage Loans from the Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Seller’s expense on (or after) the related Repurchase Date.  Provided that the applicable conditions in Section 5 have been satisfied and provided further no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless the Buyer is notified to the contrary not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to any such Repurchase Date, on each related Repurchase Date each Mortgage Loan shall automatically become subject to a new Transaction.  In such event, the related Repurchase Date on which such Transaction becomes subject to a new Transaction shall become the “Purchase Date” for such Transaction. Seller shall deliver a written Transaction Request to Agent requesting that the Mortgage Loans become subject to such new Transaction prior to such Purchase Date.  For each new Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on the Payment Date in the month after the related Purchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Pricing Side Letter.  The term of any Transaction shall not exceed one month or extend beyond the Termination Date.

(b)The Seller hereby promises to pay to the Buyer on each Payment Date, the Price Differential on the unpaid Repurchase Price of each Transaction for the period from and including the Purchase Date of such Transaction to but excluding the Repurchase Date of such Transaction, at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate; provided, that in no event shall such rate per annum exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby promises to pay to the Buyer, interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any

-33-

---

Repurchase Price and on any other amount payable by the Seller hereunder that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise) for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full.  Accrued Price Differential on each Transaction shall be payable monthly on the Repurchase Date each month and for the last month of the Repurchase Agreement on the Repurchase Date of such last month and on the Termination Date; provided, that the Buyer may, in its sole discretion, require accrued Price Differential to be paid simultaneously with any prepayment of Repurchase Price that is made by the Seller on a day other than the Termination Date.  Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall accrue daily and shall be payable upon such accrual.  Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Buyer shall give notice thereof to the Seller.

(c)It is understood and agreed that, unless and until a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller shall be entitled to the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions outstanding hereunder subject to the terms and provisions of this Repurchase Agreement.  Seller shall deposit all Income or other proceeds received with respect to each Mortgage Loan after the related Purchase Date into the Blocked Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt.  Unless and until a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller may withdraw amounts from the Blocked Account on each Repurchase Date so long as all amounts then due and payable to Buyer have been paid in full.

(d)With respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to a Takeout Commitment, the Seller shall instruct the related Takeout Investor to remit directly to the Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Funding Deposit Account, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day all Takeout Proceeds in an amount equal to or greater than the Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loan.  Simultaneously, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer via facsimile or electronic mail a purchase advice (the “Purchase Advice”) and shall indicate on such Purchase Advice the Mortgage Loan identification number which identified the applicable Eligible Mortgage Loan when it was purchased by the Buyer hereunder.  A portion of the Takeout Proceeds in an amount equal to the Recognized Value of such Mortgage Loan shall be applied to the Repurchase Price of the outstanding Transactions.  Upon receipt by the Buyer of payment of the Repurchase Price in respect of such Mortgage Loan (not taking into account any Price Differential which may be paid subsequently pursuant to the terms of this Repurchase Agreement), the Buyer shall cause the Funding Account Bank to release and remit to the Seller the amount of any Takeout Proceeds in excess of the Recognized Value of such Mortgage Loans (the “Remittance Amount”); provided, that, both immediately before and after giving effect to such release and remittance, (i) there is no Default or Event of Default under this Repurchase Agreement or any other Repurchase Document and (ii) there is no Margin Deficiency.  To the extent that a Margin Deficiency exists or would be created by the release of the Remittance Amount or a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain the Remittance Amount.  In the event that the Purchase Advice indicates that some of the proceeds forwarded to the Buyer do not belong to the Buyer or the Seller (such amount, the “Excess Proceeds”), then (i) the Seller shall provide the Buyer with a Takeout Proceeds Identification Letter, and (ii) upon confirmation by the Buyer that the information set forth in the Purchase Advice matches the information that the Buyer has in its possession with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Buyer shall promptly remit by wire transfer the Excess

-34-

---

Proceeds in accordance with the Seller’s instructions.  If funds are received before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, but either (A) no Purchase Advice is received or (B) such funds are not properly identified on the related Purchase Advice (a “Purchase Advice Deficiency”), then such funds shall be retained by the Buyer, and the Transactions made in respect of the related Mortgage Loans shall continue to accrue Price Differential under this Repurchase Agreement, until such Purchase Advice Deficiency is remedied, and the Mortgage Loan subject to such Purchase Advice shall not be released until such Purchase Advice Deficiency is remedied.  In no event shall such Purchase Advice be back-dated to the date of its issuance.  The Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller or any other Person to the extent that the Buyer follows instructions given to it by the Seller in a Takeout Proceeds Identification Letter.

(e)In connection with a planned PLS Purchase and Repo requested by Seller and confirmed and approved by Buyer, in each case in writing or electronically, Seller and Buyer shall confirm in writing with the Custodian that the related Mortgage Files have been moved to PLS’s custodian, and shall agree upon the reduction in the Repurchase Price occasioned by the PLS Purchase and Repo and the assumption by PLS of the related Repurchase Obligations.  

2.10Margin Maintenance.

(a)If at any time the aggregate Purchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding hereunder exceeds the aggregate Recognized Value of all Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions and such excess is greater than the Margin Threshold (a “Margin Deficiency”), as determined by the Buyer and notified to the Seller on any Business Day, the Seller shall on or before the Margin Payment Deadline make a payment to the Buyer in respect of the aggregate Purchase Price such that after giving effect to such payment no Margin Deficiency shall then exist; provided, however, that the Margin Threshold shall not be applicable to a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan that exceeds the Maximum Dwell Time.

(b)If at any time the aggregate Purchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding hereunder exceeds the Maximum Amount then in effect, the Seller shall at such time make a payment to the Buyer, in respect of the aggregate Repurchase Price such that, after giving effect to such payment, the aggregate Purchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding hereunder shall not exceed the Maximum Amount then in effect.

Section 3.Payments; Computations; Etc.

3.01Payments.

(a)Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of Repurchase Price, including Price Differential, and other amounts to be paid by the Seller under this Repurchase Agreement, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Buyer, to the Funding Deposit Account, not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  The Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

-35-

---

(b)Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, if the due date of any payment under this Repurchase Agreement would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and Price Differential shall accrue with respect to the amount of any Purchase Price so extended for the period of such extension.

3.02Computations

.  Price Differential on the Transactions shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.

3.03Regulatory Capital Events; Costs.

(a)Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any of Buyer’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, including, but not limited to, due diligence review and, in the event that Buyer has reason to believe there is an issue with the enforceability or priority of the Lien securing any Mortgage Loan or any additional Lien or encumbrance has been filed with respect to any Mortgage Loan on any Mortgage Loan, Title Inquiry costs with respect to such Mortgage Loan and reasonable out-of-pocket attorney’s fees, incurred by Buyer in determining the acceptability to Buyer of any Mortgage Loans.  Seller shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Buyer’s counsel in connection with the Repurchase Documents, subject, in the case of fees incurred prior to the Effective Date, to the maximum amount stated in the Pricing Side Letter.  Seller shall also pay, or reimburse Buyer if Buyer shall pay, any termination fee that may be due any Servicer.  Reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees for any subsequent amendments to this Agreement or related documents (other than any amendments or documents required in connection with repurchase transactions by Buyer under Section 13.21 or any assignments or participations by Buyer under Section 13.10) shall be borne by Seller.  Seller shall pay ongoing custodial fees and expenses as set forth in the Custodial Agreement, and any other ongoing fees and expenses under any other Repurchase Document.

(b)Upon the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Event after the date hereof, from time to time, upon demand by Buyer (with a copy to Custodian), Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the actual increased costs incurred by Buyer resulting from such Regulatory Capital Event (as specified by Buyer); provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to compensate Buyer for any increased costs incurred prior to the date that Buyer notifies Seller of such Regulatory Capital Event giving rise to such increased costs (except to the extent that such Regulatory Capital Event is applied retroactively in which case such six (6) month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect).  Buyer shall not allocate any such increased costs to Seller in any manner that adversely selects this Agreement or the transactions hereunder from other similar facilities of Buyer.  

(c)With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Buyer reasonably believes to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf, whether or not such person is listed on the certificate delivered

-36-

---

pursuant to Section 5.02(b) hereof.  In each such case, Seller hereby waives the right to dispute Buyer’s record of the terms of the request or other communication.

(d)Notwithstanding the assignment of the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan to Buyer, Seller agrees and covenants with Buyer to enforce diligently Seller’s rights and remedies set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(e)(i) Any and all payments by or on account of Seller or Guarantor under any Repurchase Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If an applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any sums payable by such withholding agent under any Repurchase Document, then such withholding agent shall make be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deductions or withholdings have been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.03(e)(i)) the applicable recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(ii) The Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

(iii) Seller and Guarantor shall indemnify Buyer, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.03(e)) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate setting forth a calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by Buyer or on behalf of Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.03(e), Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer.

(A) any Buyer or Buyer assignee that is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall deliver to the Seller and the Guarantor on or prior to the date on which such Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Repurchase Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Guarantor) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to backup withholding tax;

(B) any Buyer or Buyer assignee which is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Guarantor (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Repurchase Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller and the Guarantor), whichever of the following is applicable: (I) in the case of a Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Repurchase Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Repurchase Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty, (II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, (III) in the case of such non-U.S. Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code (x) a duly executed certificate, in a form reasonable acceptable to Seller (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), to the effect that such non-U.S. Person is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or (IV) to the extent such non-U.S. person is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller, 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 in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(g)If Buyer or Buyer assignee determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 3.03(e) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.03(e)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or, without duplication, additional amounts paid, by Seller or Guarantor under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by Buyer or Buyer assignee and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the indemnifying party, upon the request of Buyer or Buyer assignee, agrees to repay the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph to Buyer or Buyer assignee, as applicable (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event Buyer or Buyer assignee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.03(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party

pursuant to this Section 3.03(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.03 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under all Repurchase Documents.

(i)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 Mortgage Loans, and the Mortgage Loans as owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default.  Buyer and Seller agree that they will treat and report for all tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Mortgage Loans and that they will take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless otherwise prohibited by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for tax purposes.

(j)If by reason of the actual or anticipated compliance by Buyer or any of its Affiliates with the Basel III Regulations (without regard to whether any Basel III Regulations are then in effect), Buyer shall at any time suffer or incur (i) any explicit or implicit charge, assessment, cost or expense by reason of the amount or type of assets, capital or supply of funding Buyer or any of its Affiliates is required or expected to maintain in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, without regard to (A) whether such charge, assessment, cost or expense is imposed or recognized internally, externally or inter-company or (B) whether it is determined in reference to a reduction in the rate of return on Buyer’s or such Affiliate’s assets or capital, an inherent cost of the establishment or maintenance of a reserve of stable funding, a reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by Buyer or such Affiliate or otherwise, or (ii) any other imputed cost or expense arising by reason of the actual or anticipated compliance by Buyer or any of its Affiliates with the Basel III Regulations, then, upon demand by Buyer, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amount as will, in the determination of Buyer, compensate Buyer therefor; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to compensate Buyer for any such charges, assessments, costs or expenses incurred prior to the date that Buyer notifies Seller of such charge, assessment, cost or expense.  Buyer shall not allocate any such charges, assessments, costs or expenses to Seller or the transactions hereunder in any manner that adversely selects this Agreement from other similar facilities of Buyer.  A certificate of Buyer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Buyer under this Section shall be delivered to Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  

(k)If Buyer provides notice to Seller under either Section 3.03(a) or 3.03(h) and demands compensation for such increased charges, assessments, costs or expenses, Seller shall have the right to designate the Termination Date by written notice given to Buyer at least thirty (30) days before such Termination Date has occurred and Seller shall only be obligated to pay Buyer such increase in charges, assessments, costs or expenses to the extent such amounts

(b)All of the 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 “Purchased Items:”

(i)all Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, the related Servicing Rights). For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Seller that the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Buyer in any Mortgage Loan shall not be released or otherwise affected due to the fact that any Mortgage Loan is not an Eligible Mortgage Loan or that the Recognized Value thereof is zero dollars or is reduced, including if it is reduced to zero dollars, at any time;

(ii)all Mortgage Loan Documents, including without limitation all promissory notes, and all Servicing Records, Servicing Agreements and any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Mortgage Loans, together with all files, documents, instruments, surveys, certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer programs, computer storage media, accounting records and other books and records relating thereto, including electronic records;

(xi)any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

(c)The Seller and the Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to the Buyer of the Purchased Items (including, without limitation, the related Servicing Rights) and not loans from the Buyer to the Seller secured by the Purchased Items.  However, in order to preserve the Buyer’s rights under this Repurchase Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans, and as security for the performance by the Seller of all of the Seller’s obligations to the Buyer under the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, the Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Items to the Buyer, to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions and all other amounts owing to the Buyer hereunder and under the other Repurchase Documents (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Credit Enhancement”).  The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder.  The Seller agrees to mark its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to the Buyer hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Seller that the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Buyer in any Mortgage Loan shall not be released or otherwise affected due to the fact that any Mortgage Loan is not an Eligible Mortgage Loan or that the Recognized Value thereof is zero dollars or is reduced, including if it is reduced to zero dollars, at any time.

Schedule 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS

Part I.  Eligible Mortgage Loans

As to each Mortgage Loan that is a Mortgage Loan subject to any Transaction outstanding on a Purchase Date (and the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Assignment of Mortgage and Mortgaged Property), the Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to the Buyer as of such date and at all times a Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction.  With respect to any representations and warranties made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, in the event that it is discovered that the circumstances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan are not accurately reflected in such representation and warranty notwithstanding that such representation and warranty is made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, such Mortgage Loan shall be assigned a Recognized Value of zero.  Certain defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined in the Repurchase Agreement appear in Part II to this Schedule 1:

(a)Mortgage Loans as Described.  The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the Mortgage Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects.

(b)Payments Current.  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.  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.  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.

(c)No Outstanding Charges.  There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Mortgage Loan, and 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 the Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which the 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 interest thereunder.

(d)Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of the Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are

Schedule 1-1

---

reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required, and, with respect to the FHA, RHS and VA Loans, has been approved by the FHA, to the extent required by the FHA Insurance Contract, the RHS to the extent required of the Rural Housing Service Guaranty or the VA, to the extent of the VA Guaranty Agreement, and its terms are reflected on the 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 insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy and with respect to any FHA Loan, the FHA to the extent required by the FHA Insurance Contract or FHA Regulations, or with respect to any VA Loan, the VA to the extent of the VA Guaranty Agreement, or with respect to any RHS Loan, the RHS to the extent of the Rural Housing Service Guaranty, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(e)No Defenses.  The Mortgage 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.  The 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.

(f)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 the Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the 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 lesser of (i) 100% of the replacement cost (as calculated by a Qualified Insurer) of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, such amount shall be not less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and shall be consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the 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 1974.  All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the 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 the Seller.  All premiums on such

Schedule 1-2

---

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.  The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the 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 the Seller.

(g)Compliance with Applicable Laws.  Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, laws with respect to unfair and deceptive lending practices and Predatory Lending Practices 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.

(h)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 effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.  The 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 the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(i)Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a dwelling which is acceptable to the related Agency pursuant to the applicable Agency Guide.  No residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling.  No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes.

(j)Valid First Lien.  The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing.  The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

(1)the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

Schedule 1-3

---

(2)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 to any applicable Agency, and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the applicable Agency, and 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; and

(3)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 which will not in any way prevent realization of the full benefits of any FHA Insurance Contract, VA Guaranty Agreement or Rural Housing Service Guaranty.
