NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual rights and obligations provided herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller, Guarantor, Administrative Agent and each Buyer agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

1.1        Defined Terms.  As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A hereto, unless the context otherwise requires.  All such defined terms shall, unless specifically provided to the contrary, have the defined meanings set forth herein when used in any other agreement, certificate or document made or delivered pursuant hereto.

1.2        Interpretation; Principles of Construction.  The following rules of this Section 1.2 apply unless the context requires otherwise.  A gender includes all genders.  Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning.  A reference to a subsection, Section, Schedule or Exhibit is, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a Section of, or schedule or exhibit to, this Agreement.  A reference to a party to this Agreement or another agreement or document includes the party’s successors and permitted substitutes or assigns. A reference to an agreement or document (including any Principal Agreement) is to the agreement or document as amended, modified, novated, supplemented or replaced, except to the extent prohibited  thereby or by any Principal Agreement and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.  A reference to legislation or to a provision of legislation includes a modification or re-enactment of it, a legislative provision substituted for it and a regulation or statutory instrument issued under it.  A reference to writing includes a facsimile transmission and any means of reproducing words in a tangible and permanently visible form.

A reference to conduct includes, without limitation, an omission, statement or undertaking, whether or not in writing.  The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder” and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  The term “including” is not limiting and means “including without limitation”.  In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”, the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”, and the word “through” means “to and including”.

Except where otherwise provided in this Agreement, any determination, consent, approval, statement or certificate made or confirmed in writing with notice to Seller by Administrative Agent or an authorized officer of Administrative Agent provided for in this Agreement is conclusive and binds the parties in the absence of manifest error.  A reference to an agreement includes a security interest, guarantee, agreement or legally enforceable arrangement whether or not in writing related to such agreement.

This Agreement is the result of negotiations among, and has been reviewed by counsel to, Administrative Agent, each Buyer and Seller, and is the product of all parties.  In the interpretation of this Agreement, no rule of construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such party proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of this Agreement or this Agreement itself.  Except where otherwise expressly stated, Administrative Agent or a Buyer may give or withhold, or give conditionally, approvals and consents and may form opinions and make determinations at its sole and individual discretion.  Any requirement of good faith, discretion or judgment by Administrative Agent or a Buyer shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or such Buyer to request or await receipt of information or documentation not immediately available from or with respect to Seller, a servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, any other Person or the Purchased Assets themselves. All references herein or in any Principal Agreement to “good faith” means good faith as defined in Section 1-201(b)(20) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

ARTICLE 2

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF TRANSACTIONS

2.1        Agreement to Enter into Transactions.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, each Buyer severally agrees to, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, enter into Transactions with Seller in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time the outstanding amount of such Buyer’s Commitment;  provided,  however, that (a) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price as of any date shall not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit, (b) the Transaction Exposure of any Buyer shall not exceed such Buyer’s Commitment and (c) the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for any Type of Transaction shall not exceed the applicable Type Sublimit.  Each Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions with an aggregate Transaction Exposure equal to or less than such Buyer’s Commitment, and no Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions if such Transaction would result in such Buyer’s Transaction Exposure to exceed such Buyer’s Commitment.  Seller may request Transactions in excess of the Aggregate Transaction Limit and Buyers may, from time to time,

in their sole and individual discretion,  subject to Section 18.2 consent to a Temporary Increase of the Aggregate Transaction Limit in accordance with Section 2.10;  provided,  that, the consent of the applicable Buyers shall be required pursuant to Section 18.2.

2.2        Transfer Transactions.  On the initial Purchase Date under this Agreement, all Transactions subject to the Original Agreement (each a “Transfer Transaction”) shall continue and shall be allocated to the Buyers in accordance with the Applicable Percentages. Each Transfer Transaction shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Terms Letter; provided,  however, the Maximum Dwell Time shall be determined based on the Purchase Date of such Transfer Transaction under the Original Agreement.

2.3        Description of Purchased Assets.  With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall cause to be maintained with Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers Purchased Assets with an Asset Value not less than, at any date, the related Purchase Price for such Transaction.  With respect to each Transaction, the type of Purchased Asset shall be the type of Asset as specified in the Transactions Terms Letter as the Type, and in each case shall consist of the type of mortgage loans, mortgage related securities, or interests therein as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 101(47)(A) and Bankruptcy Code Section 741(7)(A).  If there is uncertainty as to the Type of a Purchased Asset, Administrative Agent shall determine the correct Type for such Purchased Asset.

2.4        Maximum Transaction Amounts.  The Purchase Price for each proposed Transaction shall not exceed the lesser of:

(a)         the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for the applicable Type Sublimit (after giving effect to all Transactions then subject to the Agreement), as determined by the Type of Purchased Asset;

(b)         the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as such amount may be increased from time to time as provided in Section 2.10), minus the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price of all other Transactions outstanding, if any; and

(c)         the Asset Value of the related Purchased Asset(s);

2.5        Use of Proceeds.  Seller shall use the Purchase Price of each Transaction solely for the purpose of originating and/or acquiring the related Purchased Asset(s).

2.6        Price Differential.

(a)         Price Differential.  Notwithstanding that Administrative Agent, each Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales by Seller to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers interest on the Purchase Price for each Purchased Asset from the Purchase Date until, but not including, the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid, at an annual rate equal to the Price Differential; provided that if the Repurchase Price for a Transaction is not paid by Seller when due (whether at the Repurchase Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), the Repurchase Price shall bear a Price Differential from the date due until paid in full at an annual rate equal to the Default Rate.  For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the date on which a Purchased Asset is deemed to be a Noncompliant Asset, the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset shall bear a Price Differential at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Pricing Rate plus the Type Margin for a Noncompliant Asset.

(b)         Computations.  All computations of Price Differential and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the relevant period, and a three-hundred sixty (360) day year.

(c)         Time for Payment. Price Differential with respect to any Purchased Asset shall be due and payable on the Payment Date occurring in the second month following the related Purchase Date and thereafter on each subsequent Payment Date.  On the date that the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset is paid, all accrued Price Differential not otherwise paid by the Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset shall be due and payable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6(c), in the event the Asset Value of any Purchased Asset is marked to zero and Seller requests Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to release its security interest in such Purchased Asset or any Purchased Items related thereto, Administrative Agent shall not release any such security interest therein unless and until Seller shall have paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset.

(d)         Price Differential Payments to Buyers.  To the extent received, Administrative Agent will remit by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day immediately following each Payment Date, to each Buyer,  such Price Differential due to such Buyer based on such Buyer’s Applicable Percentage.

2.7        All Transactions are “Servicing Released”.  The sale of Mortgage Loans by Seller to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers pursuant to Transactions under this Agreement includes the Servicing Rights related to the Mortgage Loans and all Transactions under this Agreement are “servicing released” purchase and sale transactions for all intents and purposes, it being understood that the Purchase Price paid by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to Seller for each such Mortgage Loan includes a premium that compensates Seller for the Servicing Rights related to the Mortgage Loan and upon payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer to Seller, Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers becomes the owner of the Mortgage Loan and the Servicing Rights related thereto.

2.8        Terms and Conditions of Transactions.  The terms and conditions of the Transactions as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter, this Agreement or otherwise may be changed from time to time by Administrative Agent by providing prior notice to Seller.  The terms and conditions of the Transactions Terms Letter are hereby incorporated and form a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein; provided however, to the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Transactions Terms Letter, the Transactions Terms Letter shall control.

2.9        Guarantee and/or Additional Security Agreements.  As may be determined necessary by Administrative Agent from time to time, Seller agrees to cause to be executed and delivered to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers such Guarantees and/or additional security agreements as additional support for Seller’s obligations hereunder, which Guarantees and/or additional security agreements shall be considered “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi).

2.10      Temporary Increase of Aggregate Transaction Limit.   Seller may request a temporary increase of the Aggregate Transaction Limit (a “Temporary Increase”) by submitting to Administrative Agent an executed request for Temporary Increase in the form of Exhibit O hereto (a “Request for Temporary Increase”), setting forth the requested increased

Aggregate Transaction Limit (such increased amount, the “Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit”), the effective date of such Temporary Increase and the date on which such Temporary Increase shall terminate. Buyers may from time to time, subject to Section 18.2,  and in their sole and individual discretion,  consent to such Temporary Increase, which consent shall be in writing as evidenced by Administrative Agent’s delivery to Seller of a countersigned Request for Temporary Increase.  At any time that a Temporary Increase is in effect, the Aggregate Transaction Limit shall equal the Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit for all purposes of this Agreement and all calculations and provisions relating to the Aggregate Transaction Limit shall refer to the Temporary Aggregate Transaction Limit, including without limitation, Type Sublimits and the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance and each Buyer’s Applicable Percentage.  Upon the termination of a Temporary Increase, Seller shall repurchase Purchased Assets in order to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price to the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as reduced by the termination of such Temporary Increase) in accordance with Section 4.2(k).

2.11      Extension of Termination Date.

(a)         Requests for Extension.  The Seller may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Buyers) no later than sixty (60) days prior to the Termination Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Termination Date”), request that the Existing Termination Date be extended for an additional three hundred sixty-four (364) days.

(b)         Buyer Elections to Extend.  Each Buyer, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the Existing Termination Date (the “Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Buyer agrees to such extension. Each Buyer that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non‑Extending Buyer”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Buyer that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non‑Extending Buyer.  The election of any Buyer to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Buyer to so agree.

(c)         Notification by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller promptly of each Buyer’s determination under this Section.

(d)         Additional Commitment Buyers.  The Seller shall have the right to replace each Non‑Extending Buyer with, and add as “Buyers” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Buyer”) as provided in Section 16.1;  provided that each of such Additional Commitment Buyers shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Buyer shall, effective as of the Existing Termination Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Buyer is already a Buyer, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Buyer’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

(e)         Minimum Extension Requirement.  If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Buyers that have agreed so to extend their Termination Date (each, an “Extending Buyer”) and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Buyers shall be no less than 100% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Existing Termination Date, then, effective as of the Existing Termination Date, the Termination Date of each Extending Buyer and of each Additional Commitment Buyer shall be extended to the date falling three hundred sixty-four (364) days after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination  Date

as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Buyer shall thereupon become a “Buyer” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f)         Payment of Purchase Price by Non-Extending Buyer.  On the Termination Date of each Non-Extending Buyer, the Seller shall pay the aggregate Repurchase Price in accordance with Section 4.1 allocable to each Non-Extending Buyer to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Transactions ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Buyers effective as of such date.

(g)         Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.6(f) or Section 18.2 to the contrary.

(d)         Swing Line Transactions.

(i)          Swing Line Transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and satisfaction of each condition precedent set forth in Section 7.2 hereof, the Swing Line Provider, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Buyers set forth in this Section 3.2,  may in its sole and individual discretion enter into Transactions (each such loan, a “Swing Line Transaction”) with the Seller not later than 4:00 p.m. on the requested Purchase Date (and thereafter on a best effort basis) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Transactions, when aggregated with the Transaction Exposure of the Buyer acting as Swing Line Provider, may exceed the amount of such Buyer’s Commitment; provided,  however, that (x) after giving effect to any Swing Line Transaction, the total Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price shall not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit or any Type Sublimit,  and (y) each Swing Line Transaction shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as any other Transaction hereunder.

(ii)         Terms and Conditions. Each Swing Line Transaction shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(1)         such Swing Line Transaction fully qualifies in all respects as an ordinary Transaction under this Agreement;

(2)         no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(3)         each condition precedent set forth in Section 7.2 shall have been satisfied;

(4)         such Swing Line Transaction shall not cause the Swing Line Sublimit to be exceeded;

(5)         neither Seller nor Administrative Agent is aware of any reason why the requested Swing Line Transaction cannot or will not be fully funded by the Buyers according to their respective Applicable Percentages by the deadline set forth in Section 3.2(d)(iv) hereof.

(iii)       Swing Line Interest Rate.  In consideration of the Swing Line Provider entering into Swing Line Transactions:

(1)         each Buyer shall pay to the Swing Line Provider interest on the Purchase Price for each Purchased Asset from the Purchase Date until, but not including, the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid by Seller, at an annual rate equal to such Buyer’s Applicable Percentage of the Swing Line Interest.

(2)         all computations of the Swing Line Interest shall be based upon the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the relevant period, and a three-hundred sixty (360) day year.

(3)         Swing Line Interest with respect to any Purchased Asset shall be due and payable on the Payment Date occurring in the second month following the related Purchase Date and thereafter on each subsequent Payment Date.  Each Buyer may elect, in writing, to permit the Administrative Agent to pay such Buyer’s Applicable Percentage of the Swing Line Interest due to the Swing Line Provider out of the Price Differential due to such Buyer on such Payment Date.

(iv)        Buyers’ Commitment. Immediately upon entering into a Swing Line Transaction, each Buyer shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Provider its respective Applicable Percentage of such Swing Line Transaction in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(ii) hereof.

(e)         Payments by Administrative Agent; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Buyer prior to the proposed Purchase Date that such Buyer will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Buyer’s Applicable Percentage of the related Purchase Price (including any Swing Line Transaction), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Buyer will make available its share of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(ii) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, enter into a Swing Line Transaction with the Seller as set forth in Section 3.2(d).  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Buyers of each Swing Line Transaction by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City Time) on the Business Day immediately following the date the Swing Line Provider enters into such Swing Line Transaction. In such event, if a Buyer has not in fact made its Applicable Percentage of the Purchase Price available to the Administrative Agent by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on such Business Day, then the applicable Buyer and the Seller severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Buyer, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Seller, the interest rate applicable to Price Differential.  If the Seller and such Buyer shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Seller the amount of such interest paid by the Seller for such period.  If such Buyer purchases its Applicable Percentage in a Swing Line Transaction pursuant to Section 3.2(d)(iv) from the Swing Line Provider, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Buyer’s Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price included in such Transaction.  Any payment by the Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim the Seller may have against a Buyer that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

3.3        Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents.

(a)         Dry Mortgage Loans.  Prior to any Transaction related to a Dry Mortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent or its Custodian, or authorize and direct the Closing Agent to deliver to Administrative Agent or its Custodian, the related Mortgage Loan Documents in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2 hereof and the Custodial Agreement.

(b)         Wet Mortgage Loans.  With respect to a Transaction the subject of which is a Wet Mortgage Loan, (i) Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent or its Custodian any Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s possession, and (ii) Seller shall authorize and direct the Closing Agent to deliver the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Seller, for delivery to Administrative Agent or its Custodian, in each case, within the Maximum Dwell Time in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2 hereof, Exhibit B hereof and the Custodial Agreement.

(c)         Pooled Mortgage Loans.   With respect to a Transaction the subject of which is a Pooled Mortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent or its Custodian, as applicable, the related Agency Documents in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2(e) hereof and the Custodial Agreement and Seller shall cause the Custodian to deliver a trust receipt to Administrative Agent with respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement.  In addition, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers a duly executed Trade Assignment together with a true and complete copy of the Purchase Commitment with respect to the related Mortgage-Backed Security in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2(b) and Section 7.2(e).

(d)         Government Mortgage Loans.  With respect to a Transaction the subject of which is a Government Mortgage Loan, Seller shall, at the request of Administrative Agent, deliver to Administrative Agent or its Custodian, within forty five (45) calendar days following the Purchase Date for such Mortgage Loan, the FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract, the VA Loan Guaranty Agreement or the RD Loan Guaranty Agreement, as applicable, or evidence of such insurance or guaranty, as applicable, including proof of payment of the premium and the case number so Administrative Agent can access the information on the computer system maintained by FHA, the VA or the RD.

(e)         Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s Possession.  At all times during which the Mortgage Loan Documents related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan are in the possession of Seller, and until such Purchased Mortgage Loan is repurchased by Seller, Seller shall hold such Mortgage Loan Documents in trust and for the sole and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and shall act only in accordance with Administrative Agent’s written instructions thereto.

(f)         Other Mortgage Loan Documents in Seller’s Possession.  With respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan, until such Purchased Mortgage Loan is repurchased by Seller, Seller shall hold in trust and for the sole and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers all mortgage loan documents related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan and not delivered to Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, the Other Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable.

3.4        Haircut.  With respect to each Transaction for which the related Purchase Price is being remitted by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to one or more Approved Payees, Seller shall ensure that there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Over/Under Account such that following the withdrawal of the related Haircut by Administrative Agent, the balance of the

Over/Under Account is equal to or greater than the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance, as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter.

3.5        Over/Under Account.

(a)         Minimum Balance.  Seller shall at all times maintain a balance in the Over/Under Account of not less than the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance, as set forth in the Transactions Terms Letter.  The Over/Under Account shall be used to assist in settling the Transactions and any other Obligations under this Agreement (solely to the extent such amounts are attributable to the Obligations of Seller under this Agreement).  Administrative Agent shall not be required to segregate and hold funds deposited by or on behalf of Seller in the Over/Under Account separate and apart from Administrative Agent’s own funds or funds deposited by or held for others.  Upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to increase the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance Seller is required to maintain in the Over/Under Account by giving notice to Seller thereof.  If Seller fails to deposit funds in the Over/Under Account to comply with any such required increase within the time frame required by Administrative Agent,  Administrative Agent shall have the right to retain in the Over/Under Account any amounts received by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers on behalf of Seller or otherwise credited to the Over/Under Account to comply with any such required increases, including, without limitation, any purchase proceeds received by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers from any Approved Investor pursuant to Section 4.5.  Neither Administrative nor any Buyer shall be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to the increase of the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance that Seller is required to maintain in the Over/Under Account or retention of excess funds by Administrative Agent to comply with any such increase.

(b)         Deposits.

(i)          Seller.  Seller shall deposit margin in the form of funds in the Over/Under Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.4 and Section 3.5(a).

(ii)         Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall credit to the Over/Under Account all amounts in excess of those amounts due to Administrative Agent and Buyers in accordance with the Principal Agreements on the date Administrative Agent receives or has received both (1) a payment by Seller or an Approved Investor pursuant to a Purchase Commitment and (2) a Purchase Advice relating to such payment without discrepancy; provided,  however, that funds and Purchase Advices received by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers after 4:00 p.m. (New York City time), shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify Seller if there is a discrepancy between a wire transfer and the related Purchase Advice, and thereafter, Seller shall notify Administrative Agent as to whether Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers should accept such settlement payment despite the discrepancy between the amount received and the related Purchase Advice; provided,  however, that if an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent is not obligated to receive approval from Seller prior to accepting any amounts received and releasing the related Purchased Assets.

(iii)       Settlement Statement.  Administrative Agent shall deliver to Seller via facsimile or make available to Seller via the internet within one (1) Business Day following settlement of a Transaction, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, a settlement statement, which includes an explanation of all amounts credited by Administrative Agent to the Over/Under Account to settle the Transaction.

(c)         Withdrawals.

(i)          Seller.  If the amount credited to the Over/Under Account creates a balance in excess of the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance required pursuant to Section 3.5(a) above, provided,  that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may submit a written request to Administrative Agent for return or payment of such excess funds.  If any such request is received by Administrative Agent prior to (i) with respect to such excess funds that are to be wired to an account not held at Administrative Agent, 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) or (ii) with respect to such excess funds that are to be wired to an account held at Administrative Agent, 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on a Business Day, Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to wire such requested excess funds to Seller by the end of such Business Day and in no event no later than two (2) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.5(c)(i) to the contrary, Administrative Agent reserves the right to reject any request for excess funds from the Over/Under Account if Administrative Agent determines that such excess funds shall be used to satisfy Seller’s outstanding obligations under this Agreement or are subject to other rights as provided in this Agreement.

(ii)         Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent may, from time to time and without separate authorization by Seller or notice to Seller, withdraw funds from the Over/Under Account to settle amounts owed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or to otherwise satisfy Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(1)         with respect to any Transaction with respect to which the Purchase Price is being paid to one or more Approved Payees on behalf of Seller, to deliver the Haircut to such Approved Payees;

(2)         to reimburse itself for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent connection with this Agreement, as permitted herein;

(3)         to reimburse Buyers for its Applicable Percentage of any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Buyer in connection with this Agreement, as permitted herein;

(4)         to pay itself (on behalf of Buyers) any Price Differential on a Purchase Price that is due and owing;

(5)         to Seller as provided in Section 3.5(c)(i);

(6)         as security for the performance of Seller’s obligations hereunder;

(7)         without limiting the generality of Section 3.5(c)(ii)(6), to satisfy any outstanding Margin Deficit as provided in Section 6.3(b); and

(8)         in the exercise of Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Buyers) or its Affiliates’ rights under Section 6.3(d) or Section 11.9.

(d)         Failure to Maintain Balance.  If, at any time, Seller fails to maintain in the Over/Under Account the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance as required hereunder, in addition to any other rights and remedies that Administrative Agent or a Buyer may have against Seller, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall have the right to immediately stop entering into Transactions with Seller and/or to charge Seller accrued interest on that portion of the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance that Seller has failed to maintain, at the Default Rate, from the time that such balance failed to be maintained until the time that funds are deposited into or held in the Over/Under Account to comply with such Minimum Over/Under Account Balance requirements hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that should the balance in the Over/Under Account become negative, Seller will continue to owe Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers accrued interest as provided herein.

(e)         Security Interest.  Any funds of Seller at any time deposited or held in the Over/Under Account, whether such funds are required to be deposited and held in the Over/Under Account pursuant to this Section 3.5 or otherwise, are hereby pledged by Seller as security for its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller hereby grants a security interest in such funds to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, and such pledge and security interest shall be considered “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(x).

3.6        Payment of Purchase Price.

(a)         Payment of Purchase Price.  On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets, including the Servicing Rights related to Purchased Assets consisting of Purchased Mortgage Loans, shall be transferred to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller or on behalf of Seller to an Approved Payee, as applicable, and simultaneously with the delivery to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction.  With respect to the Purchased Assets being sold by Seller on the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, including the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, together with all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all amounts due and payable under the terms of such Purchased Assets.

(b)         Methods of Payment.  On the Purchase Date for each Transaction:

(i)          Subject to Section 3.2 hereof, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall pay the Purchase Price for all Transactions by wire transfer in accordance with Seller’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit J.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not  be obligated to pay the Purchase Price under any method of payment to any Closing Agent, third party institutional originator or warehouse lender that is not an Approved Payee.  Further, the payment of the Purchase Price by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to any Closing Agent, third party institutional originator or warehouse lender that is not an Approved Payee shall not make such Closing Agent, third party institutional originator or

warehouse lender an Approved Payee.  Any funds disbursed by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers 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, Administrative Agent’s approval procedures or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Administrative Agent, the payment of a Purchase Price may be delayed.  Neither Administrative nor any Buyer shall be liable to Seller for any costs, losses or damages arising from or relating to any such delays, or

(ii)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a Purchased Asset is the subject of third party financing, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers may pay all or any portion of the Purchase Price directly to the warehouse lender or other lender that has a security interest in such Purchased Asset to satisfy the related indebtedness and obtain a release of such security interest.

(c)         Transaction Limitations and Other Restrictions Relating to Closing Agents.  Notwithstanding that a particular Transaction request will not exceed the Aggregate Transaction Limit or applicable Type Sublimit, if the payment of the Purchase Price for such Transaction to the related Closing Agent will violate Administrative Agent’s applicable policies and procedures (as contained in the Handbook or otherwise) regarding payments to Closing Agents, Administrative Agent may refuse to pay the Purchase Price to such Closing Agent.

(d)         Return of Purchase Price.  If a Wet Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is not closed on the same day on which the Purchase Price was funded, Seller shall immediately return, or cause to be immediately returned (but in any event within forty-eight (48) hours), the Purchase Price (or such greater amount that shall have been remitted by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers, if applicable) with respect to such Wet Mortgage Loan to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers by wire transfer in accordance with Administrative Agent’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B.  Further, Seller shall pay Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers all fees and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Buyer in connection with the funding of the Purchase Price for such Wet Mortgage Loan and, from the date of such funding up to but excluding the date such Purchase Price is returned to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, Seller shall also pay Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers any Price Differential accrued on such Purchase Price immediately upon notification from Buyer; provided,  however, that Price Differential shall continue to accrue until the Purchase Price is returned to Buyer.

(e)         Obligations of Buyers Several.  The obligations of the Buyers hereunder to enter into Transactions (including reimbursing the Swing Line Provider in respect of the Swing Line Transactions) up to their respective Commitments and to make payments pursuant to Section 12.6 are several and not joint.  The failure of any Buyer to enter into a Transaction or make any payment under Section 12.6 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Buyer of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Buyer shall be responsible for the failure of any other Buyer to so fund its Applicable Percentage of the Purchase Price,  to reimburse the Swing Line Provider in respect of a Swing Line Transaction or to make its payment under Section 12.6.

(f)         Sharing of Payments by Buyers.  If any Buyer (other than Bank of America, N.A. with respect to that certain Master Margining, Setoff and Netting Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2014, among Seller, Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC and Bank of America, N.A.)  shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any Repurchase Price or Price Differential on any of the Transactions or Swing Line Transactions held by it resulting in such Buyer’s receiving payment of a proportion of the Repurchase Price or Price Differential greater than its Applicable Percentage thereof as provided herein, then the Buyer receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Buyers an interest in the Obligations of the Seller under this Agreement or any of the Principal Agreements in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Buyers in such greater proportion;  provided,  that, if all or any portion of such greater proportion is thereafter recovered from such Buyer, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery; and further provided,  that,  the provisions of this Section 3.6(f) shall not apply to the Administrative Fee under this Agreement.

3.7        Approved Payees.

(a)         Closing Agents.  In order for a Closing Agent to be designated an Approved Payee with respect to any Purchase Price for new origination Wet Mortgage Loans or Dry Mortgage Loans as to which the origination funds are being remitted to the closing table, Seller shall submit to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers the following documents:

(i)          if the title company issuing the title policy that covers the applicable Mortgage Loan has not issued to Administrative Agent a blanket Closing Protection Letter, which covers closings conducted by this Closing Agent in the jurisdiction where this closing will take place:

(1)         a valid blanket Closing Protection Letter, in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent, issued to Seller or Administrative Agent by the title company, which is issuing the title insurance policy that covers the related Mortgage Loan and is an Acceptable Title Insurance Company, that covers closings conducted by the Closing Agent in the jurisdiction where this closing will take place and if applicable, an assignment to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) of such Closing Protection Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

(2)         a valid Closing Protection Letter, in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent, issued to Seller or Administrative Agent by the title company, which is issuing the title insurance policy that covers the related Mortgage Loan and is an Acceptable Title Insurance Company, that covers the closing of this specific Mortgage Loan and if applicable, an assignment to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) of such Closing Protection Letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

(3)         with respect to those jurisdictions outlined in the Handbook for which Closing Protection Letters are not available or are limited in their
applicability, any other documents Administrative Agent may reasonably require, including without limitation, a duly executed,

valid and enforceable assignment to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Buyers) of Seller’s rights to any claims specifically related to the Purchased Assets under its fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy maintained pursuant to Section 9.4; and

(ii)         evidence that the Irrevocable Closing Instructions, in the applicable form and signed by Seller and Administrative Agent, have been delivered to such Closing Agent.

(b)         Warehouse Lenders.  In order for a warehouse lender to be designated an Approved Payee with respect to any Purchase Price, Seller shall submit to Administrative Agent a written request, including the name and address of the warehouse lender, demonstrating a need for such designation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent reserves the right to refuse to designate any warehouse lender as an Approved Payee, or, alternatively, to require additional terms and conditions in order for Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to pay a Purchase Price to a warehouse lender.

(c)         Approval Process.  Administrative Agent shall review the applicable documents and notify Seller within two (2) Business Days as to whether such Closing Agent or warehouse lender has been designated by Administrative Agent to be an Approved Payee with respect to such Purchase Price.  Administrative Agent may withdraw its approval of any Closing Agent or warehouse lender as an Approved Payee if Administrative Agent becomes aware of any facts or circumstances at any time related to such Closing Agent or warehouse lender which Administrative Agent determines materially and adversely affects the Closing Agent or warehouse lender or otherwise makes the Closing Agent or warehouse lender unacceptable as an Approved Payee.

3.8        Delivery of Mortgage-Backed Securities.  With respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans that are Pooled Mortgage Loans, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall release its interests in such Purchased Mortgage Loans simultaneously with the Settlement Date of a Mortgage-Backed Security backed by a Pool containing such Purchased Mortgage Loans.  Provided that such Mortgage-Backed Security has been issued to the Depository in the name of Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s nominee, from and after such Settlement Date, the Mortgage-Backed Security shall replace the related Purchased Mortgage Loans as the Asset that is subject to the related Transaction.

ARTICLE 4

REPURCHASE

4.1        Repurchase Price.

(a)         Payment of Repurchase Price.  The Repurchase Price for each Purchased Asset shall be payable in full and by wire transfer in accordance with Administrative Agent’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B or Exhibit J, as applicable, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Repurchase Date of the related Transaction, (ii) the occurrence of any Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to such Purchased Asset, (iii) at Administrative Agent’s sole option, upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (iv) the Expiration Date.  Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset.  While it is anticipated that Seller will repurchase each Purchased Asset on its related Repurchase Date, Seller may repurchase any Purchased Asset hereunder on demand without any prepayment penalty or premium.

(b)         Effect of Payment of Repurchase Price.  On the Repurchase Date (or such other date on which the Repurchase Price is received in full by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers), termination of the related Transaction will be effected by the repurchase by Seller or its designee of the Purchased Assets and the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Administrative Agent, or transfer of additional Asset(s) (in each case subject to the provisions of Section 6.5), and all of Buyer’s rights, title and interests therein shall then be conveyed to Seller or its designee; provided that,  neither Administrative Agent nor any Buyer shall be deemed to have terminated or conveyed its interests in such Purchased Assets if an Event of Default shall then be continuing or shall be caused by such repurchase or if such repurchase gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit that is not satisfied in accordance with Section 6.3(b).  With respect to Purchased Assets that are Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller is obligated to obtain the related Mortgage Loan Documents from the Custodian at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date.

4.2        Repurchase Acceleration Events.  The occurrence of any of the following events shall be a Repurchase Acceleration Event with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, as the case may be:

(a)         Administrative Agent has determined that the Purchased Asset is a Defective Asset;

(b)         sixty (60) calendar days elapse from the date the related Mortgage Loan Documents were delivered to an Approved Investor and such Approved Investor has not returned such Mortgage Loan Documents or purchased such Purchased Asset, unless an extension is granted by Administrative Agent in its sole and exclusive discretion;

(c)         ten (10) Business Days elapse from the date a related Mortgage Loan Document was delivered to Seller for correction or completion or for servicing purposes, without being returned to Administrative Agent or its designee;

(d)         with respect to a Wet Mortgage Loan, Seller fails to deliver to Administrative Agent the related Mortgage Loan Documents within the Maximum Dwell Time or any Mortgage Loan Document delivered to Administrative Agent, upon examination by Administrative Agent or Custodian, is found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment and is not corrected within the Maximum Dwell Time;

(e)         regardless of whether a Purchased Mortgage Loan is a Defective Asset, a foreclosure or similar type of proceeding is initiated with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

(f)         the further sale of a Purchased Asset by Seller to any party other than an Approved Investor;

(g)         (1) with respect to any Pooled Mortgage Loan that has been pooled to support a Mortgage-Backed Security issued by Seller and fully guaranteed by Ginnie Mae for which Administrative Agent has executed a Form HUD 11711A, the Custodian ceases to hold the Mortgage Loan File and the related Mortgage Loan Documents in respect thereof for the sole and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers at any time prior to the issuance of the related Mortgage-Backed Security, or (2) with respect to all other Purchased Mortgage Loans, the Custodian ceases to hold the related Mortgage Loan File and all Mortgage Loan Documents in respect thereof for the sole and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers at any time;

(h)         with respect to any Pooled Mortgage Loan or Mortgage-Backed Security, if the Seller has failed to deliver the related Trade Assignment to Administrative Agent in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 7.2(b);

(i)          with respect to any Pooled Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Agency has not issued the related Mortgage-Backed Security to the Depository in the name of Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s nominee on the related Settlement Date;

(j)          with respect to any Mortgage-Backed Security that is subject to a Transaction pursuant to Section 3.8, if Administrative Agent has not received the related Takeout Price from the Approved Investor on the related Settlement Date; or

(k)         following the termination of a Temporary Increase, the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price exceeds the Aggregate Transaction Limit (as reduced by the termination of such Temporary Increase).

4.3        Reduction of Asset Value as Alternative Remedy.  In lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers may elect to reduce the Asset Value of the related Purchased Asset (to as low as zero) and accordingly require a full or partial repayment of such Repurchase Price.

4.4        Designation as Noncompliant Asset as Alternative Remedy.  In lieu of requiring full repayment of the Repurchase Price upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Acceleration Event, Administrative Agent, with the consent of the applicable Buyers as set forth in Section 18.2 hereof, may elect to deem the related Purchased Asset a Noncompliant Asset, provided,  that, (a) after such Purchased Asset is deemed to be a Noncompliant Asset, the aggregate original Asset Value of all Noncompliant Assets does not exceed the Type Sublimit for Noncompliant Assets; (b) the Asset Value of the Noncompliant Asset is greater than the Repurchase Price or Seller provides Additional Purchased Assets or repays part of the Repurchase Price as provided in Section 6.3 in each case as a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5); and (c) Seller delivers to Administrative Agent all documentation relating to the Purchased Asset reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

4.5        Payments Pursuant to Sale to Approved Investors.  Seller shall direct each Approved Investor purchasing a Purchased Asset to pay directly to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the applicable Takeout Price in full and without set-off on the date set forth in the applicable Purchase Commitment.  In addition, Seller shall provide Administrative Agent with a Purchase Advice relating to such payment.  Seller shall not direct the Approved Investor to pay to Administrative Agent an amount less than the full Takeout Price or modify or otherwise change the wire instructions for payment of the Takeout Price provided to Approved Investor by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall apply all amounts received from an  Approved Investor for the account of Seller in accordance with Section 4.6 below and credit all amounts due Seller to the Over/Under Account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) above.  Administrative Agent may reject any amount received from an Approved Investor and not release the related Purchased Asset if (a) Administrative Agent does not receive a Purchase Advice in respect of any wire transfer, (b) Administrative Agent does not receive the full Takeout Price, without set-off or (c) the amount received, together with amounts available under the Over/Under Account in excess of the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance, are not sufficient to pay the related Repurchase Price in full.  Alternatively, in lieu of rejecting an amount received by Administrative Agent from an Approved Investor, at Administrative Agent’s option, if the amount received from the Approved Investor does not equal or exceed the related Repurchase Price, Administrative

Agent may accept the amount received from the Approved Investor and deduct the remaining amounts owed by Seller from the Over/Under Account or demand payment of such remaining amount from Seller.  If Seller receives any funds intended for Administrative Agent, Seller shall segregate and hold such funds in trust for Administrative Agent and immediately pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers all such amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds together with providing Administrative Agent with a settlement statement for the transaction.

4.6        Application of Payments from Seller or Approved Investors.  Unless Administrative Agent determines otherwise, payments made directly by Seller or an Approved Investor to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a)         first, to any amounts due and owing to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers pursuant to Section 6.3;

(b)         second, to all costs, expenses and fees incurred or charged by Administrative Agent under this Agreement that are due and owing (whether or not related to the Transaction in connection with which the payment is made);

(c)         third, to the Price Differential then due and owing and the outstanding Purchase Price, in each case, on the Purchased Asset in connection with which the payment is made;

(d)         fourth, to the Price Differential then due and owing and the outstanding Purchase Prices, in each case, on any other Purchased Assets; and

(e)         fifth, to the amount of all other obligations then due and owing by Seller to Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements.

Administrative Agent, each Buyer and Seller intend and agree that all such payments shall be “settlement payments” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(8).  After the settlement payments have been applied as set forth above, Administrative Agent shall deposit in the Over/Under Account any amounts that remain.

4.7        Method of Payment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder must be received by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers on the date when due and shall be made in United States dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Administrative Agent’s wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B or Exhibit J, as applicable.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and with respect to payments of the Purchase Price, the Price Differential thereon shall be payable at the Applicable Pricing Rate during such extension.  All payments made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be applied to Seller’s account in accordance with Section 3.5(b)(ii) and Section 4.6 above and shall be made in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments after withholding for or on account of any present or future Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority, other than any Excluded Taxes, compensate Administrative Agent and Buyers for any additional cost or reduced amount receivable of making or maintaining Transactions as a result of such Taxes. All payments to be made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense.

4.8        Book Account.  Administrative Agent and Seller shall maintain an account on their respective books of all Transactions entered into between Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and

Seller and for which the Repurchase Price has not yet been paid.  As a courtesy to Seller, Administrative Agent shall provide such information to Seller via the Internet or by telephone or facsimile, if Seller is unable to access the information via the Internet.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be responsible for maintaining its own book account and records of Transactions entered into with Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers, amounts due to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers in connection with such Transactions and for paying such amounts when due.  Failure of Administrative Agent to provide Seller with information regarding any Transaction shall not excuse Seller’s timely performance of all obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, payment obligations under this Agreement.

4.9        Full Recourse.  The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, Margin Deficit payments, settlement payments and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

ARTICLE 5

FEES

5.1        Payment of Fees.  Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers those fees set forth in this Agreement and the Transactions Terms Letter when they become due and owing.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Commitment Fee shall be paid on or before the Effective Date and if this Agreement is renewed, thereafter on or before the anniversary of the Effective Date.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withdraw from the Over/Under Account or retain from payments made by Seller or an Approved Investor, subject to Section 13.5, or set off against any Purchase Prices to be paid by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers any fees permitted under this Agreement that are due and owing.  If such amounts on deposit in the Over/Under Account or payments received in connection with a Transaction or Purchase Prices to be paid by Buyer are not sufficient to pay Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers all fees owed, Administrative Agent shall notify Seller and Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, within ten (10) Business Days, all unpaid fees.

5.2        Remittance to Buyers.  Within one (1) Business Day of any remittance or withdrawal of funds made in connection with any fees allocable to Buyers as set forth in Section 5.1, Administrative Agent shall remit to such Buyer its Applicable Percentage of such funds, together with a written statement describing such Buyer’s pro rata allocation of the applicable fee.

ARTICLE 6

SECURITY; SERVICING; MARGIN ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE; CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS; REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS; DUE DILIGENCE

6.1        Precautionary Grant of Security Interest in Purchased Assets and Purchased Items.  With respect to the Purchased Assets, although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, and without prejudice to the provisions of Section 6.6 and the expressed intent of the parties, if any Transactions are deemed to be loans, as security for the performance of all of Seller’s obligations hereunder, Seller and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Buyer, such Defaulting Buyer hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items and Administrative Agent shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Purchased Assets and

other Purchased Items.  Possession of any promissory notes, instruments or documents by the Custodian shall constitute possession on behalf of Administrative Agent.

Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to the Servicing Rights related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan unless and until the Seller has paid the related Repurchase Price and the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to a Transaction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that the Servicing Rights related to any Purchased Mortgage Loan were not sold by Seller to Administrative Agent or that the Servicing Rights are not an interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loan and are severable from such Purchased Mortgage Loan despite Administrative Agent’s and Seller’s express intent herein to treat them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, and Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect thereto.  In addition, Seller further grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent a first priority security interest in and lien upon (i) all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to such Servicing Rights and the servicing of each of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, (ii) all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Seller, (iii) all rights to receive such Income, (iv) all other Purchased Items, and (v) all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing (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 Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers hereunder.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Assets and related Purchased Items and the liens created hereby.  Seller also hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file any such financing or continuation statement in a manner consistent with this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Law.  For purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code and all other relevant purposes, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement.

6.2        Servicing.

(a)         Servicing Rights Owned by Administrative Agent;  Administrative Agent’s Right to Appoint Servicer.  In recognition that each Purchased Mortgage Loan is sold by Seller to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers on a servicing released basis and Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers is the owner of the Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to appoint the Servicer for each Purchased Mortgage Loan unless and until the Seller has paid the related Repurchase Price and the Purchased Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to a Transaction.

(b)         Appointment of Servicer.  Subject to Administrative Agent’s right to appoint a successor Servicer at its sole and individual discretion, Administrative Agent hereby appoints Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of

Administrative Agent as agent for Buyers for the period between the Purchase Date and the Repurchase Date of the Purchased Mortgage Loans.  The right of Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans is on an interim basis only and does not provide or confer a contractual, ownership or other right for Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans, it being understood that upon payment of the Purchase Price and until such time Seller has paid the related Repurchase Price and such Purchased Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to a  Transaction, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers owns the Servicing Rights and may assume servicing or appoint a Successor Servicer at any time.  Further, the fact that Seller or the Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or that Administrative Agent may provide a separate notice of default to Seller or the Servicer regarding the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall not affect or otherwise change Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Buyers) ownership of the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

(c)         Interim Servicing Period; No Servicing Fee or Income.  For each Transaction, Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as applicable, right to interim service a Purchased Mortgage Loan shall commence on the related Purchase Date and shall automatically terminate without notice on the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the related Purchase Date or (ii) the Repurchase Date.  If the interim servicing period expires with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing such Purchased Mortgage Loan, then such interim servicing period shall automatically terminate if not renewed by Administrative Agent.  In connection with any such renewal, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall continue to interim service the Purchased Mortgage Loan for a thirty (30) day extension period.  Absent any such extension of the interim servicing period, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall transfer servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan (which shall include the delivery of all Servicing Records related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan) to Administrative Agent or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Administrative Agent and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the interim servicing period (including the expiration of any extension period) with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall have no right to service the related Purchased Mortgage Loan nor shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to extend the interim servicing period (or continue to extend the interim servicing period), it being understood that upon such expiration, Seller shall promptly transfer the servicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan to Administrative Agent or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Administrative Agent and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to pay Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, nor shall Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, have any right to deduct or retain, any servicing fee or similar compensation in connection with the interim servicing of a Purchased Mortgage Loan.

(d)         Servicing Agreement.  If there is a Servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans other than Seller, Seller shall enter into a Servicing Agreement with the Servicer on behalf of Administrative Agent and Buyers, which such Servicing Agreement shall be on terms acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole and individual discretion and which shall include, at a minimum, (i) a recognition by the Servicer of Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Buyers) interests and rights to the Purchased Mortgage Loans as provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Buyers) ownership of the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans; (ii) an obligation for the Servicer to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that the Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it but in no event no less than in accordance with

Accepted Servicing Practices; (iii) an obligation to comply with all applicable federal, state and local Laws and regulations; (iv) an obligation to maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its subservicing responsibilities; (v) an obligation not to impair the rights of Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers in any Purchased Mortgage Loans or any payment thereto, and (vi) an obligation to collect all Income in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Administrative Agent, in trust, in segregated custodial accounts and remit such Income to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Servicer Notice.  Further, such Servicing Agreement shall contain express reporting requirements and other rights to allow Administrative Agent to inspect the records of the Servicer with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.  Administrative Agent may terminate the subservicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loan with the then existing Servicer in accordance with either Section 6.2(f) or Section 6.2(n).

(e)         Servicing Obligations of Seller.  To the extent Seller shall subservice any Purchased Mortgage Loan on behalf of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, Seller shall:

(i)          Subservice and administer the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Buyers) in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with the degree of care and servicing standards generally prevailing in the industry, including all applicable requirements of the Agency Guides, applicable Law, FHA Regulations, VA Regulations and RD Regulations, the requirements of any Insurer, as applicable, and the requirements of any applicable Purchase Commitment and the related Approved Investor, so that neither the eligibility of the Purchased Mortgage Loan and any related Mortgage-Backed Security for purchase under such Purchase Commitment nor the FHA Mortgage Insurance, VA Loan Guaranty Agreement, RD Loan Guaranty Agreement or any other applicable insurance or guarantee in respect of any such Purchased Mortgage Loan, if any, is voided or reduced by such servicing and administration;

(ii)         Subject to Section 6.2(g), and to the extent not otherwise held by the Custodian, Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard the Mortgage Loan File for the Purchased Mortgage Loan in accordance with applicable Law and lending industry custom and practice and shall hold such Mortgage Loan File in trust for Administrative Agent, and in any event shall maintain and safeguard electronic copies of the documents delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.3, and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller’s possession of such Mortgage Loan File is for the sole purpose of subservicing such Purchased Mortgage Loan and such retention and possession by Seller is in a custodial capacity only;

(iii)       reserved;

(iv)        Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent all such reports with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans required in the Transactions Terms Letter and herein at the times and on the dates set forth therein and herein.  In addition, at Administrative Agent’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent reports regarding the status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being subserviced by it, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than thirty (30) days or such other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect

with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loan,  Administrative Agent’s title, on behalf of Buyers, to such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Purchased Mortgage Loan; Seller is required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller; and

(v)         Seller shall immediately notify Administrative Agent if Seller becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under a Purchased Asset.

Administrative Agent may, at its sole and individual option or upon request of any Buyer, at any time during Seller’s business hours on reasonable notice of at least three (3) Business Days, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case only one (1) Business Day’s notice shall be required, examine and make copies of such documents and records, or require delivery of the originals of such documents and records to Administrative Agent or its designee.

(f)         Sale or Transfer of Servicing Rights by Buyer.  Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers may sell or transfer any rights to service a Purchased Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of Seller or any Servicer.

(g)         Release of Mortgage Loan Files.  Seller shall release its custody of the contents of any Mortgage Loan File only in accordance with the written instructions of Administrative Agent, except when such release is required (1) as incidental to Seller’s subservicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan, (2) to complete the Purchase Commitment, or (3) by law.

(h)         Right to Appoint Successor Servicer.  Administrative Agent reserves the right, in its sole and individual discretion, to appoint a successor servicer to subservice any Purchased Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”). In the event of such an appointment, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Mortgage Loan File and related Servicing Records held by Seller or the Servicer, together with all receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer.  Seller shall have no claim for servicing fees, lost profits or other damages if Administrative Agent appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder.

(i)          Reserved.

(j)          Reserved.

(k)         Reserved.

(l)          Servicer Notice. As a condition precedent to Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers funding the Purchase Price for any Purchased Mortgage Loan subserviced by a Servicer other than Seller, Administrative Agent, or an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, Seller shall provide to Administrative Agent a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer, advising the Servicer of such matters as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Buyers) interest  in such Purchased Mortgage Loans and ownership of the Servicing Rights related thereto and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Administrative Agent, it will follow the instructions of Administrative Agent with respect to the subservicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans.

(m)        Notification of Servicer Defaults.  If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such Purchased Asset has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations with respect to the management or servicing of such Purchased Mortgage Loan as required under this Agreement or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Asset as delegated by such Seller pursuant to any Servicing Agreement, Seller shall promptly notify Administrative Agent.

(n)         Termination.  Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to immediately terminate the Seller’s or any Servicer’s (as applicable) right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans due to a Servicer Termination Event or for any other reason without payment of any penalty or termination fee.  Seller shall cooperate, or cause the Servicer to cooperate, in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Administrative Agent as a result of a Servicer Termination Event or an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Buyers) rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.

(o)         Administrative Agent’s Right to Service.  Administrative Agent or its designee, at the Administrative Agent’s sole and individual discretion, shall be entitled to service some or all of the Purchased Assets that are Purchased Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, receiving and collecting all sums payable in respect of same.  Upon Administrative Agent’s determination and written notice to Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, that Administrative Agent desires to service some or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly cooperate, or shall cause the Servicer to promptly cooperate, with all instructions of Administrative Agent and do or accomplish all acts or things necessary to effect the transfer of the servicing to Administrative Agent or its designee, at Seller’s sole expense.  Upon Administrative Agent’s or its designee’s servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, (i) Administrative Agent may, in its own name or in the name of Seller or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s), but shall be under no obligation to do so; (ii) Seller shall, if Administrative Agent so requests, pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers all amounts received by Seller upon or in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loan(s) or other Purchased Assets, advising Administrative Agent as to the source of such funds; and (iii) all amounts so received and collected by Administrative Agent shall be held by it as part of the Purchased Assets or applied against any outstanding Repurchase Price owed Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers.

6.3        Margin Account Maintenance.

(a)         Asset Value.  Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine in its sole good faith discretion the Asset Value of each Purchased Asset at any time.

(b)         Margin Deficit and Margin Call.  If Administrative Agent shall determine at any time that (x) the Asset Value of a Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction is less than the related Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset, (y) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to each Transaction is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for such Transactions, or (z) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for such Transactions (in any such case, a “Margin Deficit”) and such Margin Deficit is equal to

or greater than the Margin Threshold, then Administrative Agent may, at its sole and individual option or upon request of the Majority Buyers and by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to either:

(i)          transfer to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers or its designee cash or, at Administrative Agent’s sole option, Eligible Assets approved by Administrative Agent (“Additional Purchased Assets”) so that (x) the individual Asset Value of the Purchased Asset, (y) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to each Transaction, or (z) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions, as the case may be, including any such cash or Additional Purchased Assets tendered by the Seller, will thereupon equal or exceed the individual or Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price(s) as applicable; or

(ii)         pay one or more Repurchase Prices, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to reduce the related Purchase Price so that the related Purchase Price (or the related Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price) is less than or equal to the Asset Value of the Purchased Asset (or the aggregate Asset Value of the Purchased Assets, as applicable).

If Administrative Agent delivers a Margin Call to Seller on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Assets, as applicable, to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) that same day.  If Administrative Agent delivers a Margin Call to Seller after 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, Seller shall be required to transfer cash or Additional Purchased Assets no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next subsequent Business Day.  Notice of a Margin Call may be provided by Administrative Agent to Seller electronically or in writing, such as via electronic mail or posting such notice on Administrative Agent’s customer website(s).

(c)         Administrative Agent’s Discretion.  Administrative Agent’s election not to make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not in any way limit or impair its right to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(d)         Over/Under Account.  Administrative Agent may withdraw from the Over/Under Account amounts equal to any Margin Deficit which is not otherwise satisfied by Seller within the time frames provided in this Section 6.3.

(e)         Application to Obligations.  Any cash transferred to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be deposited into the Over/Under Account for Administrative Agent and each Buyer’s benefit and such amount shall be held on account of the Obligations due hereunder.

6.4        Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. With respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans, Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller shall enter into a Custodial Agreement with a Custodian.

6.5        Repurchase and Release of Purchased Assets.  Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may repurchase a Purchased Asset by either:

(a)         paying, or causing an Approved Investor to pay, to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, subject to Sections 4.5 and 4.6 above, the Repurchase Price; or

(b)         transferring to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers additional Assets satisfactory to Administrative Agent and/or cash, in aggregate amounts sufficient to cover the amount by which the aggregate amount of Transactions then outstanding hereunder (plus accrued interest and accrued fees with respect thereto) exceeds the Asset Value of the existing Purchased Assets, excluding the Purchased Assets to be released; provided that (i) such additional Assets shall be deemed part of a new Transaction, and (ii) the conditions precedent in Section 7.2 shall be satisfied prior to any such transfer.

Upon receipt of the applicable amount, as set forth above, Administrative Agent shall (i) with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans, deliver or shall cause the Custodian to deliver the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Seller or Seller’s designee, if such documents have not already been delivered pursuant to a Bailee Agreement and (ii) with respect to related Mortgage-Backed Securities, deliver the Mortgage-Backed Security to Seller or Approved Investor, as applicable, on a delivery versus payment basis.  If any such release gives rise to or perpetuates a Margin Deficit, Administrative Agent shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller shall thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 6.3(b).  Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall have no obligation to release a repurchased Purchased Asset or terminate its security interest in such Purchased Asset until such Margin Call is satisfied.

6.6        Repurchase Transactions.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Administrative Agent nor any Buyer shall have the right to use the Purchased Assets and engage in repurchase transactions with respect to any or all of such Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or convey any or all of such Purchased Assets without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the applicable Buyers as set forth in Section 18.2.

6.7        Periodic Due Diligence.  Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent, at its sole and individual option or upon request of any Buyer, has the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than three (3) Business Days, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case only one (1) Business Day’s notice shall be required) prior notice to Seller, Administrative Agent or its authorized representatives and any Buyer accompanied by the Administrative Agent will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Loan Files, the Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller, Custodian or Servicer.  Seller will make available to Administrative Agent a knowledgeable senior financial or accounting representative and will instruct such representative to answer candidly and fully, at no cost to Administrative Agent, any and all questions that any authorized representative of Administrative Agent may address to them in reference to the Mortgage Loan Files and Purchased Assets.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall purchase Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Administrative Agent in the Asset Data Records and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Administrative Agent, at its option, has the right, at any time to re-underwrite any of the Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such re-underwriting.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent and any Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such re-underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent or such 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.  Seller, Buyers and Administrative Agent further agree that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with Administrative Agent’s activities pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be paid by Seller; provided that, Seller’s obligation to pay the due diligence costs and expenses shall not exceed the Due Diligence Cap per year; provided that the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(p)         Investment Company Act Compliance.  Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; provided, however, that

11.4      Sale of Purchased Assets.  With respect to any sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 11.2(e), Seller acknowledges and agrees that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid.  Seller further agrees that in view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale.  Accordingly, subject to Section 18.2,  Administrative Agent may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate Administrative Agent or any Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset on the occurrence of an Event of Default, to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day, or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Buyer.  Seller hereby waives any claims it may have against Administrative Agent or any Buyer arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Purchased Assets may have been sold at such private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate Repurchase Price amount of the outstanding Transactions, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Purchased Assets, or any part thereof, to more than one offeree.  Seller hereby agrees that the procedures outlined in Section 11.2(e) and this Section 11.4 for disposition and liquidation of the Purchased Assets are commercially reasonable.  Seller further agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to dispose of the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof by using internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.

11.5      No Obligation to Pursue Remedy.  Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.  Seller further waives any right to require Administrative Agent or any Buyer to (a) proceed against any Person, (b) proceed against or exhaust all or any of the Purchased Assets or pursue its rights and remedies as against the Purchased Assets in any particular order, or (c) pursue any other remedy in its power.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Buyer shall be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights of Seller against holders of mortgages prior in lien to the lien of any Purchased Asset or to preserve rights against prior parties.  No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Administrative Agent of any right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  Without intending to limit the foregoing, all defenses based on the statute of limitations are hereby waived by Seller.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

11.6      No Judicial Process.  Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by Law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process.  Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by Law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to its obligations under this Agreement arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion

of the Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies.  Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

11.7      Reimbursement of Costs and Expenses.  Each Buyer may, but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and enforce the lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Purchased Asset, including, without limitation, payment of delinquent Taxes or assessments and insurance premiums.  All advances, charges, reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time of payment until repaid, shall become a part of the Repurchase Price.

11.8      Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds of any sale or other enforcement of Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Buyers) interest in all or any part of the Purchased Assets shall be applied by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers:

(a)         first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to each Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Administrative Agent in connection therewith;

(b)         second, to the costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions entered into pursuant to 11.2(f);

(c)         third, to the payment of any other amounts due under this Agreement other than the aggregate Repurchase Price;

(d)         fourth, to the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price;

(e)         fifth, to all other obligations owed by Seller under this Agreement and the other Principal Agreements; and

(f)         sixth, in accordance with Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights under Section 11.9 hereof.

11.9      Rights of Set-Off.

(a)         If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Buyer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Buyer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Seller or Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of the Seller or Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement to such Buyer or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Buyer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement and although such obligations of the Seller or Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Buyer different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that,  in the event that any Defaulting Buyer shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for

further application in accordance with the provisions of Article 15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Buyer from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Buyers, and (y) the Defaulting Buyer shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Buyer as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Buyer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Buyer or its Affiliates may have.  Each Buyer agrees to notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(b)         To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Seller is made to the Administrative Agent or any Buyer, or the Administrative Agent or any Buyer exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Buyer in its sole and individual discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Event or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Buyer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Buyers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.10    Reasonable Assurances.  If, at any time during the term of the Agreement, Administrative Agent or a Buyer has reason to believe that Seller is not conducting its business in accordance with, or otherwise is not satisfying: (i) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules, and notices of federal, state, or local governmental agencies or instrumentalities, all applicable requirements of Approved Investors and Insurers and prudent industry standards or (ii) all applicable requirements of Administrative Agent or of each Buyer, as set forth in this Agreement, then, Administrative Agent or such Buyer shall have the right to demand, pursuant to notice from Administrative Agent or such Buyer to Seller specifying with particularity the alleged act, error or omission in question, reasonable assurances from Seller that such a belief is in fact unfounded, and any failure of Seller to provide to Administrative Agent or such Buyer such reasonable assurances in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or such Buyer, within the time frame specified in such notice, shall itself constitute an Event of Default hereunder, without a further cure period.  Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and each Buyer to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to confirm the continued eligibility of Seller for Transactions hereunder, including without limitation (i) ordering credit reports and/or appraisals with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, (ii) contacting Mortgagors, licensing authorities and Approved Investors or Insurers, and (iii) performing due diligence reviews on the Purchased Mortgage Loans and related Mortgage Loan Files pursuant to Section 6.7 and other Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE 12

INDEMNIFICATION

12.1      Indemnification.  Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Buyer and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Related Entities”) and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of the Principal Agreements, any other document referred to therein or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or any Purchased Assets or Seller’s obligations thereunder that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, any other Principal Agreement (provided,  that, if the terms of any Principal Agreement conflict with the foregoing, the terms of the Principal Agreement shall control) or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

12.2      Reimbursement.  Seller shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all expenses required in each Principal Agreement to be reimbursed when they become due and owing.  In addition, Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Administrative Agent all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent with respect to Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Date or pursuant to Section 6.7, or otherwise, (ii) the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Principal Agreement or any other documents prepared in connection therewith, and (iii) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Administrative Agent incurred in connection with any of the foregoing.

12.3      Payment of Taxes.

(a)         Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes except as required by applicable Laws.  If Seller is required by applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent)  to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 13.1 below; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due and in accord with the Code; (iii) deliver to Administrative Agent, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes,  pay to Administrative Agent such additional sum as may be necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.3) the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. In addition, Seller agrees to timely pay to the

relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(b)         Seller shall, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from and against the full amount of any and all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and Other Taxes arising with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Principal Agreements and other documents related thereto and fully indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from and against any and all liabilities or expenses with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such Taxes, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or assessed by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of any payment or liability of Administrative Agent or a Buyer with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes delivered to Seller by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c)         As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 12.3, the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)         Nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall require Administrative Agent or any Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary or otherwise subject Administrative Agent or such Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer.

12.4      Administrative Agent Payment.  If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Article 12, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Administrative Agent, in its sole and individual discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Administrative Agent.  No such payment by Administrative Agent shall be deemed a waiver of any of Administrative Agent’s rights under any of the Principal Agreements.

12.5      Agreement not to Assert Claims.  Seller agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Principal Agreements, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

12.6      Reimbursement by Buyers  .  To the extent that the Seller for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 12.1 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), each Buyer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Buyer’s Applicable Percentage of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Buyer), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Buyers’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided,  further

that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent).  The obligations of the Buyers under this Section 12.6 are subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(e).

12.7      Payments.  The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 12.1 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Provider, the replacement of any Buyer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

12.8      Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Article 12 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Provider, the replacement of any Buyer, the payment in full of the Repurchase Prices and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.

ARTICLE 13

STATUS OF BUYERS; YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY; LIBOR

13.1      Status of Buyers; Tax Documentation.

(i)          Any Buyer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Principal Agreement shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Buyer, if reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 13.1 (ii)(1),  (ii)(2) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer.

(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Seller is a U.S. Person,

(1)         any Buyer that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that such Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2)         any Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(a)         in the case of a Foreign 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 Principal Agreement, executed  copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) 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 Principal Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) 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;

(b)         executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(c)         in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit T-1 to the effect that such Foreign Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the 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 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed  copies of IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

(d)         to the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed  copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit T-2 or Exhibit T-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit T-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(3)         any Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent), executed  copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption

from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4)         if a payment made to a Buyer under any Principal Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Seller and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Buyer has complied with such Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)       Each Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 13.1 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

13.2      Treatment of Certain Refunds.   Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Buyer, or have any obligation to pay to any Buyer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Buyer.  If any Recipient determines, in its sole and individual discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Seller or Guarantor or with respect to which the Seller or Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.2, it shall pay to the Seller or Guarantor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Seller or Guarantor under this Section 13.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided,  that,  the Seller or Guarantor, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Seller or Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Seller or Guarantor pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient 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 subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make

available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Seller or Guarantor or any other Person.

13.3      Reserved.

13.4      Illegality.  If any Buyer determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Buyer or its Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Transaction, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Buyer to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Buyer to the Seller through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Buyer to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Transaction shall be suspended, until such Buyer notifies the Administrative Agent and the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the Seller shall either (a) replace such Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Article 16, or (b) upon demand from such Buyer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), remit the Applicable Percentage of the Repurchase Price attributable to such Buyer.

13.5      Increased Costs.

(a)         Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Buyer;

(ii)         subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)       impose on any Buyer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Buyer of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Transaction (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Transaction), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Buyer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Buyer, the Seller will pay to such Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Buyer for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)         Capital Requirements.  If any Buyer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Buyer or any Lending Office of such Buyer or such Buyer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Buyer’s capital or on the capital of such Buyer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Buyer or the Transactions made by, or participations in Swing Line Transactions held by, such Buyer, to a level below that which such Buyer or such Buyer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Buyer’s policies and the policies of such Buyer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from

time to time the Seller will pay to such Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Buyer or such Buyer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)         Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Buyer or setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Buyer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Seller shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Seller shall pay such Buyer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.  Such Buyer shall allocate any such increased costs to Seller consistent with similarly situated parties under similar syndicated facilities with assets similar to the Purchased Assets.

(d)         Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Buyer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Buyer’s right to demand such compensation, provided,  that, the Seller shall not be required to compensate a Buyer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered prior to the date that such Buyer notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Buyer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then Buyer may demand such compensation for up to a six month prior period and not longer than the period of retroactive effect thereof).

13.6      LIBOR.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Seller or Majority Buyers notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Buyers, a copy to Seller) that the Seller or Majority Buyers (as applicable) have determined, that:

(a)         adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining One-Month LIBOR on any date of determination, including, without limitation, because it is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(b)         the administrator of One-Month LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which One-Month LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(c)         similar syndicated facilities with assets similar to the Purchased Assets currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace One-Month LIBOR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Seller may amend this Agreement to replace One-Month LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or similar syndicated facilities with assets similar to the Purchased Assets (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Buyers and the Seller unless, prior to such time, Buyers comprising the Majority Buyers have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Buyers do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Seller and each Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

13.7      Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Buyers.

(a)         Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Buyer requests compensation under Section 13.5, or requires the Seller to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Buyer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Buyer pursuant to Section 12.3, or if any Buyer gives a notice pursuant to Section 13.4, then at the request of the Seller such Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Transactions hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Buyer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 12.3 or 13.5, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 13.4, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Buyer to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Buyer.  The Seller hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Buyer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)         Replacement of Buyers.  If any Buyer requests compensation under Section 13.5, or if the Seller is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Buyer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Buyer pursuant to Article 12 and Sections 13.5,  13.6 and, in each case, such Buyer has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 13.7(a), the Seller may replace such Buyer in accordance with Section 16.1.

13.8      Survival.  All of the Seller’s obligations under this Article 13 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE 14

TERM AND TERMINATION

14.1      Term.  Provided that no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, and except as otherwise provided for herein, this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the Expiration Date.  Following expiration or termination of this Agreement, all amounts due Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable.

14.2      Termination.

(a)         Administrative Agent (i) on behalf of Buyers may terminate this Agreement for cause at any time by providing notice to Seller if (x) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by statute to not constitute a “repurchase agreement,” a “securities contract,” or a “master netting agreement,” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, (y) payments or security offered hereunder are deemed by a court or by statute not to constitute “settlement payments” or “margin payments” as each such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code, or (z) this Agreement or any Transaction is deemed by a court or by

statute not to constitute an agreement to provide financial accommodations as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 365(c)(2) or (ii) on behalf of Buyers may terminate this Agreement for cause at any time by providing notice to Seller if Administrative Agent and the applicable Buyers pursuant to Section 18.2 determine that there has been fraud, misrepresentation or any similar intentional conduct on behalf of Seller, its officers, directors, employees, agents and/or its representatives with respect to any of Seller’s obligations, responsibilities or actions undertaken in connection with this Agreement.

(b)         Seller may terminate this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice delivered to Administrative Agent; provided, that, upon such termination, Seller shall (i) not be entitled to any refund for any fees paid by Seller hereunder, including without limitation, the Administrative Fee and Commitment Fee and (ii) remain obligated to pay any amounts due under this Agreement, including without limitation, amounts due pursuant to Sections 13.4,  13.5,  13.7 and Article 12.

(c)         Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all outstanding amounts due to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers under the Principal Agreements shall be immediately due and payable without notice to Seller.  Further, any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the outstanding obligations of Seller under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement and all such outstanding obligations and the rights and remedies afforded Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those rights and remedies afforded Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers under this Agreement, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  Neither Administrative Agent nor Buyers shall be liable to Seller for any costs, loss or damages arising from or relating to a termination by Administrative Agent in accordance with any subsection of this Section 14.2.

ARTICLE 15

DEFAULTING BUYERS

15.1      Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Buyer becomes a Defaulting Buyer, then, until such time as that Buyer is no longer a Defaulting Buyer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i)          Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Buyer’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Buyers” and Section 18.2.

(ii)         Defaulting Buyer Waterfall.  Any payment of Repurchase Price,  Price Differential, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Buyer (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 11 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Buyer pursuant to Section 11.9 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Buyer to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Buyer to the Swing Line Provider hereunder; third, as the Seller may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Transaction in respect of which such Defaulting Buyer has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Seller, to be held in

a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Buyer’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Transactions under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Buyers or Swing Line Provider as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Buyer or the Swing Line Provider against such Defaulting Buyer as a result of such Defaulting Buyer’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Seller as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Seller against such Defaulting Buyer as a result of such Defaulting Buyer's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Buyer or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Transactions in respect of which such Defaulting Buyer has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Transactions were entered into at a time when the conditions set forth in  Section 7.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Transactions of all Non-Defaulting Buyers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Transactions of such Defaulting Buyer until such time as all Transactions and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Transactions are held by the Buyers pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 15.1(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Buyer that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Buyer shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Buyer, and each Buyer irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)       Certain Fees.

(1)         No Defaulting Buyer shall be entitled to receive any fee payable hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement for any period during which that Buyer is a Defaulting Buyer (and the Seller shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Buyer).

(2)         With respect to any fee payable hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement not required to be paid to any Defaulting Buyer pursuant to clause (1) above, the Seller shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Buyer that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Buyer with respect to such Defaulting Buyer’s participation in Swing Line Transactions that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Buyer pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Swing Line Provider the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Buyer to the extent allocable to such Defaulting Buyer’s Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)        Reallocation of Applicable Percentages.  All or any part of such Defaulting Buyer’s participation in Swing Line Transactions shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Buyers in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Buyer’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Transaction Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Buyer to exceed such Non-

Defaulting Buyer’s Commitment, or (B) a Non-Defaulting Buyer agrees to increase the amount of such Non-Defaulting Buyer’s Commitment to effect such reallocation.  Subject to a Bail-In Action, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Buyer arising from that Buyer having become a Defaulting Buyer, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Buyer as a result of such Non-Defaulting Buyer’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)         Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Transactions.  If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Seller shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, pay the Repurchase Price related to such un-reallocated portion of the Swing Line Transactions.

(b)         Defaulting Buyer Cure.  If the Seller, the Administrative Agent and Swing Line Provider agree in writing that a Buyer is no longer a Defaulting Buyer, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Buyer will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Transactions of the other Buyers or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Transactions and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Transactions to be held on a pro rata basis by the Buyers in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 15.1(iv)), whereupon such Buyer will cease to be a Defaulting Buyer;  provided,  that,  no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Seller while that Buyer was a Defaulting Buyer; and provided,  further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Buyer to Buyer will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Buyer’s having been a Defaulting Buyer.

(c)         Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Solely to the extent any Buyer or Administrative Agent that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Principal Agreement or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Buyer or Administrative Agent that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Principal Agreement, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(i)          the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Buyer or Administrative Agent that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(ii)         the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(1)         a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(2)         a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of

ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement; or

(3)         the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

ARTICLE 16

REPLACEMENT OF BUYERS

16.1       If the Seller is entitled to replace a Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.11(d),  13.4, or 13.7(b) if any Buyer is a Defaulting Buyer or a Non-Consenting Buyer, then the Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Buyer and the Administrative Agent, require such Buyer to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 18.5), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 12.3, 13.1, 13.2, 13.3 and 13.5) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Principal Agreements to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Buyer, if a Buyer accepts such assignment), provided, that:

(a)         the Administrative Agent consents to such assignment (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);

(b)         the Seller shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 18.5(b);

(c)         such Buyer shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Transactions, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Principal Agreements  from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued Price Differential and fees) or the Seller (in the case of all other amounts);

(d)         in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 13.5 or 13.6 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 13.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(e)         such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(f)         in the case of an assignment resulting from a Buyer becoming a Non-Consenting Buyer, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A  Buyer shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Buyer or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE 17

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

17.1      Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Buyers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Principal

Agreements and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Buyers, and neither the Seller nor Guarantor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Principal Agreements (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

17.2      Rights as a Buyer.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Buyer as any other Buyer and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Buyer” or “Buyers” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Buyers.

17.3      Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Principal Agreements, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)         shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)         shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Principal Agreements; provided,  that, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its nationally-recognized counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Principal Agreement or applicable Law; and

(c)         shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Principal Agreements, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Seller or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Buyers (or such other number or percentage of the Buyers as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 18.2 and 11.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Seller or a Buyer.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Principal Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 7 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the collectability of the Purchased Assets, (vii) the legality, validity, enforceability, or any legal effect of any of the Principal Agreements, or any insurance, bond or similar device purportedly protecting any obligation to the Buyers or any Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items, (viii) the financial condition of Seller or Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the status, health or viability of any industry in which any of them is involved, the prospects for repayment of the Transactions, or the effectiveness of any of the provisions of the Principal Agreements (including the financial covenants, tests and hedging requirements) or any aspect of their implementation or administration at any time to reduce or control risks of any type, to produce returns, profits, yields or spreads or to reduce or control losses, or (ix) any failure of Seller, Guarantor or any other obligor under this Agreement or any of the other Principal Agreements to perform any of its obligations thereunder.

17.4      Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Transaction, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Buyer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Buyer prior to entering into such Transaction.  The Administrative Agent may consult with nationally-recognized legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such nationally-recognized counsel, accountants or experts.

17.5      Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

17.6      Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)         The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Buyers and the Seller.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, all Buyers shall have the right, in consultation with the Seller, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by all Buyers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Buyers) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Buyers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided,  that,  in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Buyer.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)         If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Buyer pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, all Buyers may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Seller and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Seller, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by all Buyers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Buyers) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)         With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Principal Agreements (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Buyers under any of the Principal Agreements, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Buyer directly, until such time, if any, as the Buyers appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and subject to Buyers having completed all “Know Your Customer” requirements for such successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 13.3 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Principal Agreements (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Seller to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Seller and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Principal Agreements, the provisions of this Article and Article 12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was

acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Principal Agreements, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Buyers and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

(d)         Any resignation by Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swing Line Provider.  If Bank of America, N.A. resigns as Swing Line Provider, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Provider provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Transactions made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Buyers to reimburse the Swing Line Provider for its Applicable Percentage of outstanding Swing Line Transactions pursuant to Section 3.2(d).  Upon the appointment by the Seller of a successor Swing Line Provider hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Buyer other than a Defaulting Buyer), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Provider and (b) the retiring Swing Line Provider shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Principal Agreements.

17.7      Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Buyers.  Each Buyer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Buyer or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Buyer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Buyer or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Principal Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

17.8      No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Sole Bookrunner or Sole Lead Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Principal Agreements, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Buyer hereunder.

17.9      Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Insolvency Event or any other judicial proceeding relative to Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Transaction shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Seller) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)         to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Transactions and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Buyers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Buyers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Buyers and the Administrative Agent under Sections  11.7,  Article 12 and any other Principal Agreement) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)         to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Buyer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Buyers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.7,  Article 12 and any other Principal Agreement.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Buyer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Buyer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Buyer in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE 18

GENERAL

18.1      Integration; Servicing Provisions Integral and Non-Severable.  This Agreement, together with the other Principal Agreements, and all other documents executed pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect to the subject matter hereof, all of which such communications are merged herein.  All Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.  Accordingly, each of Administrative Agent and the Seller agrees that payments, deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement related to the servicing and Servicing Rights of the Purchased Mortgage Loans are integral, interrelated, and are non-severable from the purchase and sale provisions of the Agreement.  Administrative Agent and each Buyer have relied upon such provisions as being integral and non-severable in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and in determining the Purchase Price methodology for such Mortgage Loans.  The integration of these servicing provisions is necessary to enable Administrative Agent and each Buyer to obtain the maximum value from the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans by having the ability to sell the Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Mortgage Loans free from any claims or encumbrances.  Further, the fact that Seller or the Servicer may be entitled to a servicing fee for interim servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or that Administrative Agent may provide a separate notice of default to Seller or the Servicer regarding the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall not affect or otherwise change the intent of Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyers regarding the integral and non- severable nature of the provisions in the Agreement related to servicing and Servicing Rights nor will such facts affect or otherwise change Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Buyers) ownership of the Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

18.2      Consent of Buyers.  Administrative Agent shall not:

(a)         without the prior written consent of the Majority Buyers:

(i)          deem a Purchased Asset a Noncompliant Asset in accordance with Section 4.4;

(ii)         amend any Financial Covenant to be more restrictive;

(iii)       amend the Minimum Over/Under Account Balance, any Type Sublimit or Maximum Dwell Time;

(vi)        replace One-Month LIBOR with a LIBOR Successor Rate, provided such replacement must conform with the terms and conditions contained in Section 13.6; and

(vii)       amend, modify, waive any other term or condition herein or in any other Principal Agreement not otherwise specified in Section 18(b) or 18(c) herein.

(b)         without the prior written consent of Required Buyers:

(i)          subject to Section 18.2(f),  approve Transactions and waive the condition precedent set forth in Section 7.2(q);

(ii)         waive any Event of Default arising solely under Sections 11.1(b)  (Cross-Default)  (other than as set forth in Section 18.2(a)(iv)),  11.1(f)  (Breach of Financial Representation or Covenant or Obligation)  (solely with respect to a breach of Sections 8.1(s),  9.1,  9.17,  10.8 or 10.9), 11.1(g) (solely with respect to Sections 9.2,  9.22,  10.5 or 10.7), 11.1 (h)  (Guarantor Breach)  (related solely to any financial covenant under the Guaranty),  11.1(j)  (Judgment), 11.1(k)  (Government Action), 11.1(l)  (Inability to Perform) or 11.1(q)  (ERISA); and

(iii)       determine that there has been fraud, misrepresentation or any similar intentional conduct on behalf of Seller, its officers, directors, employees, agents and/or its representatives with respect to any of Seller’s obligations, responsibilities or actions undertaken in connection with this Agreement, in accordance with Section 14.2(a).

(c)         without the prior written consent of each Buyer:

(i)          extend or increase the Commitment of any Buyer (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 11.2);

(ii)         amend any Financial Covenant to be less restrictive;

(iii)       approve any Temporary Increase;

(iv)        postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Principal Agreement for any payment or mandatory prepayment of Purchase Price, satisfaction of a Margin Call, Price Differential, fees or other amounts due to the Buyers (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement; provided that such consent shall be limited to such Buyers directly affected thereby;

(v)         forgive or reduce the Repurchase Price of, or reduce the Applicable Pricing Rate specified herein on, any Transaction, or (subject to clause (c) of this Section 18.2) forgive or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Principal Agreement;

(ix)        release the security interest in all or substantially all of the Purchased Assets or other Purchased Items pursuant to Section 6.1;

(x)         permit a Buyer to use the Purchased Assets and engage in repurchase transactions with respect to any or all of such Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or convey any or all of such Purchased Assets, other than in accordance with Section 6.6;

(xi)        permit a Buyer to assign or participate a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, other than in accordance with Section 18.5;

(vi)        Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Buyer hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Seller and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Transactions previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Buyer, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Buyer to the Administrative Agent or any Buyer hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Transactions and participations in Swing Line Transactions in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Buyer hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with

the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Buyer under this Agreement, and the assigning Buyer thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Buyer shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article 12 and Sections 13.5,  13.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided,  that,  except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Buyer will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Buyer’s having been a Defaulting Buyer.  Any assignment or transfer by a Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)         Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office located within the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Buyers, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Transactions owing to, each Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Buyers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller and any Buyer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)         Participations.  Any Buyer may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Seller or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Buyer or the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Buyer’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Transactions (including such Buyer’s participations Swing Line Transactions) owing to it); provided,  that, (i) such Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Seller, the Administrative Agent, the Buyers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Buyer in connection with such Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Buyer shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.6 without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Buyer sells such a participation shall provide that such Buyer shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided,  that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Buyer will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 18.2 that affects such Participant.  The Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 12 and Sections 13.5,  13.6 to the same extent as if it were a Buyer and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Article 12 and Sections 13.5,  13.6 shall be delivered to the Buyer who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Buyer and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section;  provided,  that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 13.7 and 16.1 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article 12 and Sections 13.5,  13.6, with respect to any participation, than the Buyer from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Buyer that sells a participation agrees, at the Seller's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Seller to effectuate the provisions of Section 13.7 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.9(a) as though it were a Buyer;  provided,  that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.6(f) as though it were a Buyer.  Each Buyer that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as  a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Transactions or other obligations under the Principal Agreements (the “Participant Register”); provided,  that, no Buyer shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Principal Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)         Resignation as Swing Line Provider after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America, N.A. assigns all of its Commitment and Transactions pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America, N.A. may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Seller, resign as Swing Line Provider.  In the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Provider, the Seller shall be entitled to appoint from among the Buyers a successor Swing Line Provider hereunder; provided,  however, that no failure by the Seller to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America, N.A. as Swing Line Provider, as the case may be.  If Bank of America, N.A. resigns as Swing Line Provider, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Provider provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Transactions made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to reimburse Swing Line

Provider its Applicable Percentage in outstanding Swing Line Transactions pursuant to Section 3.2(d).  Upon the appointment of a successor Swing Line Provider,  such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Provider, as the case may be.

18.6      Invalidity.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included.

18.7      Additional Instruments.  Seller shall execute and deliver such further instruments and shall do and perform all matters and things necessary or expedient to be done or observed for the purpose of effectively creating, maintaining and preserving the security and benefits intended to be afforded by this Agreement.
