Mortgage Loans, on or before each related scheduled Repurchase Date and may electively sooner repurchase Purchased Mortgage Loans and
MBS. Each obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased
Mortgage Loan. If such Repurchase Price is paid by Seller on or before termination of this Agreement, shipment of the related Purchased
Mortgage Loans to an Approved Takeout Investor or an Agency Custodian or Buyer’s liquidation of the Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant
to Section 11, Buyer shall transfer such Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller. Seller is obligated to obtain from Buyer or
its designee Purchased Mortgage Loans and MBS not shipped to an Approved Takeout Investor or an Agency Custodian, at Seller’s expense
on the related Repurchase Date.
(g) Cash
Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date of Purchased Mortgage Loans being repurchased for cash (including any Pool of Purchased Mortgage
Loans that will be either (i) delivered to Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s ASAP Sale or ASAP Plus (including ASAP Plus POC)
purchase options as described in Part IVA, Section 306 of the Fannie Mae Multifamily Selling and Servicing Guide or (ii) exchanged
on an MBS Settlement Date in a “delivery versus cash” or “swap and sell” transaction), termination of the Transaction
will be effected by resale to Seller or its designee by Buyer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on a servicing released basis against payment
of the Repurchase Price by Seller’s wiring it or causing it to be wired to the Funding Account. After receipt of the payment of
the Repurchase Price from Seller, Buyer shall transfer such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Documents to Seller
or its designee or release all of its interests in the related Pool. All such transfers from Buyer to Seller or Seller’s designee
are and shall be without recourse and without any of the transfer warranties of UCC §3-417 or other warranty, express or implied.
(h) Pool
Securitization and Repurchase of MBS Created from the Pool. On the Repurchase Date for a Pool of Purchased Mortgage Loans that is
being securitized in a “delivery versus MBS” or “swap and hold” transaction, termination of the Transaction,
and the simultaneous initiation of a new Transaction whose subject will be the MBS created from such Pool, will be effected by Buyer’s
delivery of such Pool to the relevant Agency Custodian against delivery to Buyer of the MBS created from such Pool. On the Repurchase
Date for such MBS, termination of such new Transaction will be effected by Seller’s wiring the Repurchase Price for such MBS, or
causing it to be wired, to the Funding Account, whereupon Buyer will transfer the MBS to the relevant Approved Takeout Investor, Seller
or its designee, as applicable.
30
(i) Termination
of Transaction by Repurchase; Transfer of Repurchased Mortgage Loans. On its Repurchase Date, termination of each Transaction will
be effected by resale by Buyer to Seller or its designee of the Purchased Mortgage Loan that is the subject of the Transaction on a servicing
released basis upon Buyer’s receipt of payment of the Repurchase Price therefor, on account of which Buyer will ship or authorize
Seller or its counsel to ship to the relevant Approved Takeout Investor or Approved Custodian, or to Seller, as applicable, in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the related Mortgage Note, original in-blank Mortgage Assignment of the related Mortgage
and other documents required by such Approved Takeout Investor’s Guide or guidelines. All such transfers to Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac, another Approved Takeout Investor or Seller are and shall be without recourse on Buyer and without any Buyer’s transfer warranties
of UCC §3-417 or other warranty, express or implied.
(j) No
Obligation to Transfer Purchased Mortgage Loans after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision to
the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Buyer shall not be obligated to authorize or consent to the transfer
of any Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller or any Seller’s designee after Buyer, following the occurrence of an Event of Default
has, pursuant to Section 11(d), either (x) given Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loan or (y) elected
to sell it.
(k) Repurchase
Funding; Repurchases after Default. In connection with any repurchase of a Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer will debit the Funding
Account and Operating Account, if applicable, for the amount of the Repurchase Price. Without limiting Seller’s obligations hereunder,
at any time after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, except for repurchases of Mortgage Loans or Pools of Mortgage Loans
being sold to Approved Takeout Investors, Seller shall not be permitted to repurchase less than all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans without
the prior written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion.
(l) Reliance.
With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request
or other communication that Buyer reasonably believes to have been given or made by a Person authorized
to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf.
(m) Defective Mortgage Loans.
(i) If,
after Buyer purchases a Mortgage Loan, Buyer determines or receives notice (whether from Seller or otherwise) that a Purchased Mortgage
Loan is (or has become) a Defective Mortgage Loan, upon Buyer’s election, Buyer may notify Seller, and Seller shall repurchase
such Purchased Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price on the Early Repurchase Date (as such term is defined below).
(ii) If
Seller becomes obligated to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3(m)(i), Buyer shall promptly give Seller notice
of such repurchase obligation and a calculation of the Repurchase Price therefor. On or before the second Business Day after such a notice
is given (such day, the “Early Repurchase Date”), Seller shall repurchase the Defective Mortgage Loan by paying Buyer
the Repurchase Price therefor. Buyer is authorized to charge any of Seller’s Accounts for such amount unless the Parties have agreed
in writing to a different method of payment and Seller has paid such amount by such agreed method. If Seller’s Accounts do not
contain sufficient funds to pay in full the amount due Buyer under this Section 3(m)(ii), or if the amount due is not paid
by any applicable alternative method of payment previously agreed to by the Parties, Seller shall promptly deposit funds in the Operating
Account sufficient to pay such amount due Buyer and notify Buyer of such deposit. After receipt of the payment of the Repurchase Price
therefor from Seller, Buyer shall transfer such Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller and deliver to Seller or Seller’s designee all
original documents, if any, for the Mortgage Loan previously delivered to Buyer.
31
4. Accounts; Income Payments
(a) Accounts.
Seller agrees to establish or cause to be established (i) each of the Accounts at Financial Institution on or before the date hereof
and (ii) the Impound Collection Account and the Income Collection Account if and when required by Buyer for the purposes of Sections
11(b)(iii) and/or 11(b)(iv). Seller’s taxpayer identification number will be designated as the taxpayer identification
number for each Account, the Impound Collection Account and Income Collection Account, and Seller shall be responsible for reporting
and paying taxes on any income earned with respect to the Accounts, the Impound Collection Account and the Income Collection Account.
Each such deposit account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Buyer, and Seller agrees that (i) Seller shall have no
right or authority to withdraw or otherwise give any directions with respect to any of such deposit accounts or the disposition of any
funds held in such deposit accounts; provided that Seller may cause amounts to be deposited into any such deposit account at any
time, and (ii) Financial Institution may comply with instructions originated by Buyer directing disposition of the funds in such
deposit accounts without further consent of Seller. Only employees of Buyer shall be signers with respect to such deposit accounts. Pursuant
to Section 5, Seller has pledged, assigned, transferred and granted a security interest to Buyer in the Accounts, the Impound
Collection Account and the Income Collection Account in which Seller has rights or power to transfer rights, or later acquires ownership,
other rights or the power to transfer rights. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that Buyer has “control” of such deposit accounts
within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC. Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding and for the avoidance of doubt,
Seller agrees and acknowledges that Buyer is not required to return to Seller funds on deposit in an Account or the Income Collection
Account if any amounts are owed hereunder to Buyer by Seller.
(b) Funding
Account. The Funding Account shall be used for fundings of the Purchase Price and the Repurchase Price with respect to each Purchased
Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3. Seller shall cause all amounts to be paid in respect of the Purchase Commitments
to be remitted by the relevant Approved Takeout Investor directly to Seller’s Funding Account without any requirement for any notice
to or consent of Seller. On each Repurchase Date that occurs pursuant to Section 3(f) with respect to any Purchased
Mortgage Loan, Buyer will apply the applicable amounts on deposit in the Funding Account to the unpaid Repurchase Price due to Buyer
for such Purchased Mortgage Loan and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer will transfer the remaining balance,
if any, in the Funding Account to the Operating Account. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, in its sole
discretion, may apply the amounts on deposit in the Funding Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(e).
32
(c) Operating Account.
(i) The
Operating Account shall be used for the purposes of (1) Seller’s payment of Price Differential and any other amounts owing
to Buyer under this Agreement, the Side Letter or any other Transaction Document, (2) Seller’s funding of any shortfall between
(x) the proceeds of an Eligible Mortgage Loan being purchased by Buyer that are to be disbursed at its Origination and (y) the
Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer for that Eligible Mortgage Loan and (3) Seller’s payment of any difference between the
Repurchase Price and the amount received by Buyer from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or another Approved Takeout Investor, as applicable, in
connection with the repurchase of a Purchased Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3(k).
(ii) On
or before the fourth (4th) Business Day before each Remittance Date, Buyer will notify Seller in writing of the Price Differential and
other amounts due Buyer on that Remittance Date. On or before the Business Day preceding each Remittance Date, Seller shall deposit into
the Operating Account such cash, if any, as shall be required to make the balance in the Operating Account sufficient to pay all amounts
due Buyer on that Remittance Date. On each Remittance Date, Buyer shall withdraw funds from the Operating Account to effect such payment
to the extent of funds then available in the Operating Account. If the funds on deposit in the Operating Account are insufficient to
pay the amounts then due Buyer in full, Seller shall pay the deficiency amount on the date such payment is due by wire transfer of such
amount to the Operating Account, and Buyer shall withdraw the funds so deposited to pay such deficiency to the extent of the funds deposited.
(iii) Funds
deposited by Seller in the Operating Account to cover the shortfall, if any, referred to in clause (2) of Section 4(c)(i) will
be disbursed by Buyer to the Closing Agent along with the Purchase Price of the related Eligible Mortgage Loan being purchased by Buyer
to fund the Origination of such Mortgage Loan as provided in Section 3(a).
(iv) At
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer, in its sole discretion, may apply the amounts
on deposit in the Operating Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(e).
(v) Unless
(1) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (2) the balance in the Operating Account is equal to
or less than any amounts then owing to Buyer or any Indemnified Party under this Agreement or another Transaction Document, Buyer may
withdraw funds from the Operating Account.
33
(d) Income
Collection Accounts. Pursuant to Section 5, Seller has pledged, assigned and transferred the Income Collection Account
to Buyer and granted Buyer a security interest in the Income Collection Account. No funds other than Income shall be deposited in the
Income Collection Account. Where a particular Transaction’s term extends over the date on which Income is paid by the Mortgagor
on any Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to that Transaction, that Income will be the property of Buyer until Seller has paid Buyer the
full Repurchase Price in respect of such Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that Seller or its designee shall be entitled to receive and retain that Income to the full
extent Seller would have been so entitled if the Purchased Mortgage Loans had not been sold to Buyer; provided that any Income
received by Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending
the payment of the Repurchase Price in respect of such Transaction and the repurchase of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans, and if
a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer may direct Seller in writing to deposit into the Income Collection
Account (or such other account as Buyer may direct) (i) all Income then held by Seller in respect of Purchased Mortgage Loans subject
to outstanding Transactions and (ii) all future Income in respect of Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to new or outstanding Transactions
when received by Seller, and upon receipt of any such direction, Seller shall immediately cause all such Income then held to be deposited,
and all such future Income to be deposited within one (1) Business Day after its receipt by Seller, into the Income Collection Account
or to such other account as Buyer may direct.
(e) Application
of Funds. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at such times as Buyer may determine in its sole
discretion, Buyer shall apply all Income and other amounts on deposit in all or any of the Accounts, other than mortgagors’ actual
escrow payments held in any account and required to be used for the payment of Property Charges in respect of any Purchased Mortgage
Loan, in the same order and manner as is provided in Section 11(e) for proceeds of dispositions of Purchased Mortgage
Loans not repurchased by Seller.
(f) Seller’s
Obligations. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not relieve Seller from its obligations to pay the Repurchase Prices
for the Purchased Mortgage Loans on the applicable Repurchase Dates and to satisfy any other payment obligation of Seller under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
34
5. Security Interest; Assignment of Purchase Commitments
(a) Security
Interest. The Parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be absolute sales and purchases and not loans. However, in order to
preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder
as loans and as security for the performance by Sellers of Seller’s Obligations, or in the event that a transfer of any Purchased
Asset is otherwise ineffective as an outright transfer of such Purchased Asset to Buyer, to secure the payment and performance by Seller
of its obligations, liabilities and indebtedness under each such Transaction and Seller’s obligations, liabilities and indebtedness
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Seller hereby pledges, assigns, transfers and grants to Buyer a security interest
in the Mortgage Assets in which Seller has rights or power to transfer rights and all of the Mortgage Assets in which Seller later acquires
ownership, other rights or the power to transfer rights. “Mortgage Assets” means (i) the Purchased Mortgage Loans
with respect to all Transactions hereunder (including, without limitation, all Servicing Rights with respect thereto), (ii) all
Servicing Records, Mortgage Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and all of Seller’s
claims, liens, rights, title and interests in and to the Mortgaged Property in each case related to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (iii) all
Liens securing repayment of such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (iv) all Income with respect to such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (v) the
Accounts, (vi) the Purchase Commitments and Forward Trade Commitments to the extent Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the
Purchased Mortgage Loans and MBS, (vii) the Income Collection Account, together with all interest on the Income Collection Account,
all modifications, extensions and increases of the Income Collection Account and all sums now or at any time hereafter on deposit in
the Income Collection Account or represented by the Income Collection Account and (viii) all proceeds of the foregoing including,
without limitation, all MBS, and the right to have and receive such MBS when issued, that are, in whole or in part, based on, backed
by or created from Purchased Mortgage Loans for which the full Repurchase Price has not been received by Buyer, irrespective of whether
such Purchased Mortgage Loans have been released from this security interest. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statements
and amendments relating to the Mortgage Assets as Buyer may deem appropriate, and irrevocably appoints Buyer as Seller’s attorney-in-fact
to take such other actions as Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to perfect and continue the Lien granted hereby and to protect, preserve
and realize on the Mortgage Assets. Seller shall pay all fees and expenses associated with perfecting such Liens including the cost of
filing financing statements and amendments under the UCC and recording the Mortgage Assignments as and when required by Buyer in its
sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) Mortgage Assets and
any other collateral pledged or otherwise transferred to Buyer to secure the Obligations shall exclude (a) Fannie Mae Mortgage Servicing
Rights, including, without limitation, any agreement between Fannie Mae and Seller or any Affiliate (“Seller Contract”)
and all rights arising under any servicing contract pertaining to Mortgage Loans that have been sold to Fannie Mae (other than fee income,
sale proceeds, and other amounts payable to Seller), (b) all custodial, clearing, suspense, escrow, and other accounts maintained
by Seller for collection or processing of principal, interest, impound, or other payments with respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by
Seller on behalf of Fannie Mae, (c) all funds held by Seller in any such account, and (d) Seller’s “Restricted
Liquidity” held in Seller’s Fannie Mae Reserve Account, (ii) Buyer shall have no right to seize, retain, or reassign
the servicing rights for any Mortgage Loan serviced by Seller for the benefit of Fannie Mae, unless approved in writing by Fannie Mae
in its sole and absolute discretion, (iii) Buyer’s consent will not be required for any modification of the Fannie Mae Guide
or the Seller Contract (including any Fannie Mae Purchase Commitment) and no such modification will constitute a breach of the Transaction
Documents, (iv) Buyer will not assign, re-sell, re-pledge, or otherwise transfer any Purchased Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Assets;
provided that Buyer may pledge Mortgage Assets to a Federal Reserve Bank or a Federal Home Loan
Bank in connection with a simultaneous pledge of its corresponding rights as buyer under this Agreement, and (v) absent an Event
of Default, Buyer is prohibited from recording an assignment of mortgage or similar instrument relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan;
provided that Buyer may file a precautionary UCC financing statement with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan in order to protect
its rights as buyer under this Agreement.
(b) Security
Agreement or Arrangement or Other Credit Enhancement. The Parties intend that Section 5(a) is “a security
agreement or arrangement or other credit enhancement”, as defined and described in Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(ix) of
the Bankruptcy Code, related to the repurchase agreement and securities contract established and evidenced by this Agreement and the
Transactions hereunder.
35
(c) Assignment
of Purchase Commitment. The sale of each Mortgage Loan to Buyer shall include Seller’s rights (but none of the obligations)
under the applicable Purchase Commitment to deliver the Mortgage Loan to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or another Approved Takeout Investor,
as applicable, and to receive the net sum therefor provided for in the relevant Purchase Commitment from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the
Approved Takeout Investor, as applicable. Effective on and after the Purchase Date for each Mortgage Loan purchased by Buyer hereunder,
Seller assigns to Buyer, free and clear of any Lien, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the applicable Purchase Commitment
for such Mortgage Loan and any related Forward Trade Commitment; provided that Buyer shall not assume or be deemed to have assumed
any of the obligations of Seller under any Purchase Commitment or Forward Trade Commitment.

on Buyer or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Transactions entered into by Buyer;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to Buyer of making or maintaining any purchase hereunder (or of maintaining its obligation to enter into any

the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Buyer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided

All of Seller’s interest in each Purchased Mortgage Loan (including the Servicing Rights) shall pass to Buyer on its Purchase Date
and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise
selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Mortgage Loans, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations
to transfer the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller pursuant to Section 3(f), Section 3(m)(ii) or Section 21(b).
39
9. Representations and Warranties of Seller.
(a) To
induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder, Seller and Parent represent and warrant as of the date of this
Agreement and as of each Purchase Date that each of the following statements is and shall remain true and correct throughout the term
of this Agreement and until all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
are paid in full:
(i) Organization
and Good Standing; Subsidiaries. Seller warrants and represents that it is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Parent warrants and represents that it is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland. Seller has furnished to Buyer a true and complete copy
of its certificate or formation as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, including all amendments thereto, and agrees to furnish
to Buyer a true and complete copy of any amendment adopted after the date of this Agreement promptly after it is adopted. Seller and
its Subsidiaries each has full legal power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business as currently conducted, and
is duly qualified as a foreign limited liability company to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the transaction
of its business makes such qualification necessary, except in jurisdictions, if any, where a failure to be in good standing has no material
adverse effect on its business, operations, assets or financial condition. For the purposes hereof, good standing shall include qualification
for any and all licenses and payment of any and all taxes required in the jurisdiction of its organization and in each jurisdiction in
which Seller or a Subsidiary transacts business. Seller has no Subsidiaries except as set forth in Exhibit D which lists
the Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, or as have been subsequently disclosed by it to Buyer in writing. With respect to
Seller and each such Subsidiary, Exhibit D correctly states its name as it appears in its articles of formation filed in
the jurisdiction of its organization, address, place of organization, each state in which it is qualified as a foreign corporation or
entity, and in the case of the Subsidiaries, the percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of Seller in such Subsidiary.
(ii) Authority
and Capacity. Seller has all requisite power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and each other Transaction Document
and to perform the obligations required of it hereunder and thereunder. Parent has all requisite power, authority and capacity to enter
into this Agreement and its Guaranty and to perform the obligations required of it hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents constitute the valid and legally binding agreements of Seller, and this Agreement and its Guaranty constitute the
valid and legally binding agreements of Parent, respectively enforceable in accordance with their terms (whether enforcement is sought
in equity or at law), except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, conservatorship
and similar laws, and by equitable principles. No consent, approval, authorization, license or order of or registration or filing with,
or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required under any Requirement of Law before the execution, delivery and performance of or
compliance by Seller with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the consummation by Seller of any transaction contemplated
thereby, except for those that have already been obtained by Seller, and the filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created pursuant
to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. No consent, approval, authorization, license or order of or registration or filing
with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required under any Requirement of Law before the execution, delivery and performance
of or compliance by Parent with this Agreement or the Guaranty or the consummation by Parent of any transaction contemplated thereby,
except for those that have already been obtained by Parent. If either Seller or Guaranty is a depository institution, this Agreement
is a part of, and will be maintained in, its official records.
40
(iii) No
Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
nor compliance with its terms and conditions, shall conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, or result
in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Liens created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) of
any nature upon the properties or assets of Seller or Guaranty under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Seller’s or
Parent’s organizational documents, or any mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or other agreement or instrument
to which Seller or Parent is now a party or by which it is bound (other than this Agreement and the Guaranty, as applicable) or require
any consent under any such mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement or, instrument where the conflict, breach, default
or nonconsent could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of Seller’s
or Parent’s property or assets except the Lien in favor of Buyer securing Seller’s obligations hereunder, or result in or
permit the acceleration of any of its debt pursuant to any agreement, instrument or indenture to which Seller or Parent is a party or
by which it or its property may be bound or affected.
(iv) Performance.
Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform, and Seller intends to perform, each
and every covenant that it is required to perform under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(v) Ordinary
Course Transaction. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of
Seller, and neither the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of Mortgage Loans to Buyer nor the pledge, assignment, transfer and
granting of a security interest to Buyer in the Mortgage Assets, by Seller pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the bulk transfer
or any similar Requirement of Law in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.
(vi) Litigation;
Compliance with Laws. There is no Litigation pending or, to Seller’s knowledge threatened, that could reasonably be expected
to cause a Material Adverse Effect or that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Mortgage Loans sold or
to be sold pursuant to this Agreement. Seller has not violated any Requirement of Law applicable to Seller that, if violated, would materially
and adversely affect the Mortgage Loans to be sold pursuant to this Agreement or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. There is no Litigation pending or, to Parent’s knowledge threatened, that could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect. Parent has not violated any Requirement of Law applicable to Parent that, if violated, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(vii) Approved
Company. Seller currently holds all approvals, authorizations and other licenses from the Agencies required under the Guides (or

in the greater of (a) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and (b) the amount required by the Agencies, against loss or
damage from any breach of fidelity by Seller or any officer, director, employee or agent of Seller, and against any loss or damage from
loss or destruction of documents, fraud, theft or misappropriation, or errors or omissions, and endorsed to provide that for any loss
affecting Buyer’s interest, Buyer will be named on the loss payable draft as its interest may appear.
(ix) Solvency.
Both as of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to each Transaction hereunder, the fair value of Seller’s assets
is greater than the fair value of Seller’s liabilities (including contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded
as liabilities on the financial statements of Seller in accordance with GAAP), and Seller (1) is not insolvent (as defined in 11
U.S.C. § 101(32)), (2) is able to pay and intends to pay its debts as they mature and (3) does not have an unreasonably
small capital to engage in the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage. Seller does not intend to incur, or believe that
it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Seller is not transferring any Loans with any intent to hinder,
delay or defraud any Person.
(x) Reporting.
In its financial statements, Seller intends to report each sale of a Mortgage Loan hereunder as a financing in accordance with GAAP.
Seller has been advised by or confirmed with its independent public accountants that such sales can be so reported under GAAP on its
financial statements.
(xi) Financial
Condition. The balance sheets of Parent (and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis) and the related statements of income, changes
in stockholders’ equity and cash flows (“Financial Statements”) for the fiscal year ended on the Statement Date
(the “Statement Date Financial Statements”) heretofore furnished to Buyer, fairly present the financial condition
of Parent (and its consolidated Subsidiaries) on a basis as of the Statement Date and the results of its operations for the fiscal period
ended on the Statement Date. On the Statement Date, Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries did not have either any known material liabilities
— direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured — other than the contingent liabilities (if any) set forth
on Schedule 9(a)(xi) and contingent liability on endorsements of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection in the
ordinary course of business, or any known material liabilities for sales, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments,
which are not disclosed by the Statement Date Financial Statements or reserved against in them or that have not been otherwise disclosed
to Buyer in writing. Parent and Seller are each currently Solvent, and since the Statement Date, (i) there has been no Material
Adverse Effect related to Parent (and its Subsidiaries), nor is Seller or Parent aware of any state of facts which (with or without notice,
the lapse of time or both) would or could result in any such Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) there have been no material unrealized
or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Seller (and its Subsidiaries).
(xii) Regulation
U. Neither Seller nor Parent is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying
Margin Stock, or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock, and no part of the proceeds of Buyer’s
purchases of Mortgage Loans hereunder will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each such purchase, not more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the value of the assets (either of Seller only or of Seller and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will be Margin
Stock.
42
(xiii) Investment
Company Act. Neither Seller nor Parent or any of its other Subsidiaries is required to register as an “investment company”

materially or adversely affecting its business, operations, assets or financial condition, except as disclosed in the financial statements
described in Section 10(h). None of Seller’s Subsidiaries is subject to any dividend restriction imposed by a Governmental
Authority other than those under applicable statutory law. Neither Seller nor Parent or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries is in default
in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, instrument
or indenture which default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No holder of any Debt of Seller or of
any of its Subsidiaries has given notice of any alleged default thereunder, or, if given, the same has been cured or will be cured by
Seller or the relevant Subsidiary within the cure period provided therein. No Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller or Parent or any
of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties, is pending, contemplated or, to the knowledge of Seller or Parent, threatened.
(xv) Title
to Properties. Seller and its Subsidiaries have good, valid, insurable (in the case of real property) and marketable title to (i) all
of its material Properties and assets (whether real or personal, tangible or intangible) that are reflected on or referred to in the
Statement Date Financial Statements or in the more current Financial Statements (if any) most recently furnished to Buyer after the date
of this Agreement, except for such properties and assets as have been disposed of since the date of such current Financial Statements
either in the ordinary course of business or because they were no longer used or useful in the conduct of its business, and all such
Properties and assets are free and clear of all Liens except for (i) the lien of current (nondelinquent) real and personal property
taxes and assessments, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject that do not materially interfere with the use of the property as it is currently being used, (iii) purchase
money and financing Liens against equipment or other personal property and the other Liens described in Schedule 9(a)(xv); (iv) such
other Liens, if any, as are disclosed in such Financial Statements and (v) Permitted Encumbrances.
(xvi) ERISA.
All plans (“Plans”) of a type described in Section 3(3) of ERISA in respect of which Seller or any Subsidiary
of Seller is an “employer,” as defined in Section 3(5) of ERISA, are in substantial compliance with ERISA, and
none of such Plans is insolvent or in reorganization, has an accumulated or waived funding deficiency within the meaning of Section 412
of the IRC, and neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller has incurred any material liability (including any material contingent liability)
to or on account of any such Plan pursuant to Sections 4062, 4063, 4064, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA. No proceedings have been instituted to
terminate any such Plan, and no condition exists that presents a material risk to Seller or a Subsidiary of Seller of incurring a liability
to or on account of any such Plan pursuant to any of the foregoing Sections of ERISA. No material liability exists with respect to any
Plan in which Seller, Parent or any other Subsidiary Parent is an “employer”, or any trust forming a part thereof, that has
been terminated since December 1, 1974.

other governmental charges upon Seller, and Seller’s Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, income or franchises, that

(FICA) payments and withholding taxes, if appropriate, other than those that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings,
diligently pursued and as to which Seller has established adequate reserves determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied.
The amounts reserved, as a liability for income and other taxes payable, in the financial statements described in Section 10(h) are
sufficient for payment of all unpaid federal, state and local income, excise, property and other taxes, whether or not disputed, of Seller
and its Subsidiaries, accrued for or applicable to the period and on the dates of such financial statements and all years and periods
prior thereto and for which Seller and Seller’s Subsidiaries may be liable in their own right or as transferee of the assets of,

enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by principles of equity, excepting

a Transaction:
(i) Seller
is approved by either Ginnie Mae as an approved issuer, Fannie Mae as an approved lender, Freddie Mac as an approved seller/servicer
(as the case may be), and by FHA as an approved mortgagee, in each case in good standing (such approvals and conditions, collectively,
“Agency Approvals”), with no event having occurred or Seller’s having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect
will occur prior to the issuance of the related MBS, including a change in insurance coverage, that would either make Seller unable to
comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such Agency Approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency or
to HUD or FHA. Should Seller for any reason cease to possess all such Agency Approvals, or should notification to the relevant Agency
or to HUD or FHA be required, Seller shall so notify Buyer immediately in writing. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller shall
take all necessary action to maintain all of its Agency Approvals at all times during the term of this Agreement and each outstanding
Transaction. Seller has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound
servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Pooled Loans.
(ii) Each Pooled Loan is an Agency Eligible
Mortgage Loan.
(iii) All
of the representations and warranties made or deemed made respecting such Pooled Loan contained in (or incorporated by reference in)
the relevant Guide (collectively, the “Standard Agency Mortgage Loan Representations”) are (and will be as of all
relevant dates) true and correct in all material respects, and any material exceptions or modifications to such Standard Agency Mortgage
Loan Representations have been approved by the related Agency.
49
(iv) The
sum of the Cut-off Date Principal Balances of the Pooled Loans in the Pool will at least equal the face principal amount of the MBS to
be issued in respect of the Pool.
(v) The
MBS to be issued on account of the Pooled Loans is covered by a Purchase Commitment and does not exceed the availability under such Purchase
Commitment. Each Purchase Commitment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of an Approved Takeout Investor enforceable against it
in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity
or at law).
(vi) The
Custodian has certified such Pooled Loans to the related Agency for the purpose of being swapped for an MBS backed by such Pool, in each
case, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Guide.
(vii) Buyer
has been listed as the sole subscriber of the MBS being issued with respect to such Pool of Pooled Loans.
(viii) No
Securities Issuance Failure shall have occurred with respect to the MBS to be issued with respect to such Pool.
(d) Copies.
Each time Seller delivers or causes to be delivered to Buyer a copy (instead of the original) of any document pursuant or relating to
this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Transaction, Seller shall be deemed to warrant, represent and certify to Buyer
at the time of delivery that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original of that document unless such document is
accompanied by Seller’s written statement that such document is incorrect or incomplete in the manner specified in such statement.
(e) Survival
of Representations. All the representations and warranties made by Seller to Buyer in this Agreement are binding on Seller regardless
of whether the subject matter thereof was under the control of Seller or a third party. Seller acknowledges that Buyer will rely upon
all such representations and warranties with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan purchased by Buyer hereunder, and Seller makes such
representations and warranties in order to induce Buyer to purchase the Mortgage Loans. The representations and warranties by Seller
in this Agreement with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be unaffected by, and shall supersede and control over, any provision
in any existing or future endorsement of any Purchased Mortgage Loan or in any Assignment of Mortgage with respect to such Purchased
Mortgage Loan to the effect that such endorsement or assignment is without recourse or without representation or warranty. All Seller’s
representations and warranties shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Note and other Mortgage Loan Documents and the Loan Purchase Detail,
the purchase by Buyer of Purchased Mortgage Loans, transfer of the servicing for the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer,
delivery of Purchased Mortgage Loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, delivery of MBS to an Approved Takeout Investor, repurchases of the
Purchased Mortgage Loans by Seller and termination of this Agreement. The representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of Buyer and its successors and assigns, notwithstanding any examination by Buyer of any Mortgage Loan Documents,
related files or other documents delivered to Buyer.

53
(ii) (A)
All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account
of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest
and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding taxes imposed on (or measured by) its net
income (however denominated) or capital, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the net income by the United
States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political
subdivision thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than
the date when due. If Seller is required by any Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable
hereunder, it shall (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental
Authority not later than the date due, (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to
Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes and (d) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary
so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement,
as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.
(B) In
addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law any current
or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including mortgage recording taxes,
transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment
made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).
(C) Seller
agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto), and the full
amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10(f), and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer shall have provided Seller with evidence,
reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.
(D) Any
assignee of Buyer that is not incorporated or otherwise created under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District
of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer”) shall provide Seller with properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any
successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying (X) that such Foreign Buyer is either (1) entitled to benefits under an income
tax treaty to which the United States is a party that eliminates United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the
Code on payments to it or (2) otherwise fully exempts from United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 through 1442 of the
Code on payments to it, or (Y) that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of
a trade or business in the United States, on or before the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a purchaser of Mortgage Loans
hereunder. Each Foreign Buyer will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (x) the third anniversary of the prior submission
or (y) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such
Foreign Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed
to provide Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 10(f)(ii) (unless such
failure is due to a change in any Requirement of Law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided),
such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under this Section 10(f) with
respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that should a Foreign Buyer, that is otherwise exempt from a withholding
tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as such Foreign
Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.
54
(E) Without
prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 10(f) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 10(f) shall require Buyer to make available
any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.
(F) Each
Party acknowledges that it is its intent, for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes only, to treat each
purchase transaction hereunder as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and that the Purchased Mortgage
Loans are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All Parties agree to such treatment and agree to take no action
inconsistent with this treatment unless required by law.
(g) Insurance.
Seller shall maintain, at no cost to Buyer, (a) errors and omissions insurance or mortgage impairment insurance and blanket bond
coverage, with such companies and in such amounts as to satisfy the current requirements of the relevant Guide applicable to a qualified
mortgage originating institution, and shall cause Seller’s policy to be endorsed with the Blanket Bond Required Endorsement and
(b) liability insurance and fire and other hazard insurance on its properties, with responsible insurance companies reasonably acceptable
to Buyer, in such amounts and against such risks as is customarily carried by similar businesses operating in the same vicinity. Within
thirty (30) days after notice from Buyer, Seller will obtain such additional insurance as Buyer shall reasonably require, at no cost
to Buyer. Photocopies of such policies shall be furnished to Buyer at no cost to Buyer upon Seller’s obtaining such coverage or
any renewal of or modification to such coverage.

officer that, to the best of his or her knowledge, such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly

omission of notes to the Financial Statements;
55
(ii) as
soon as available and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Parent, audited consolidated
fiscal year-end statements of income and cash flows of Parent for that year, and the related consolidated audited balance sheet as of
the end of that year (setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the preceding fiscal year), all in reasonable detail
and accompanied by (1) an opinion as to those financial statements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (without
a “going concern” or like qualification, commentary or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope
of such audit) and prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Buyer (it being acknowledged
by Buyer that KPMG LLP currently is an acceptable independent certified public accounting firm), stating that said financial statements
fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, cash flows and results of operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis, in each case as of the end of, and for, such year, and (2) if then available or otherwise within fifteen
(15) days of receipt by Parent, any management letters, management reports or other supplementary comments or reports delivered by those

good standing with such Agency; and
(vi) from
time to time, with reasonable promptness, such further information regarding the Mortgage Assets, or the business, operations, properties
or financial condition of Seller as Buyer may reasonably request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to
the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, Seller will not be required to deliver to Buyer an original, copy or summary of
any audit, lender assessment report, or other internal review document prepared by or for Fannie Mae.
(vii) Limits
on Distributions. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, Seller shall not pay, make or declare or incur any liability
to pay, make or declare any dividend (excluding stock dividends) or other distribution, direct or indirect, on or on account of any shares
of its stock (or equivalent equity interest) or any redemption or other acquisition, direct or indirect, of any shares of its stock (or
equivalent equity interest) or of any warrants, rights or other options to purchase any shares of its stock (or equivalent equity interest),
nor purchase, acquire, redeem or retire any stock (or equivalent equity interest) in itself whether now or hereafter outstanding.
(i) Use
of JPM Chase’s Name. Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries
to, confine its use of Buyer’s logo and the “JPMorgan” and “Chase” names to those uses specifically authorized

the prior written consent of Buyer.

third party on an arm’s length basis, or (e) make a payment that is not otherwise permitted by this Section 10(k) to
any Affiliate.
(l) Recourse
Servicing Contracts. Except for Servicing Contracts involving Fannie Mae DUS Mortgage Loans and conduit originations for which Seller

the holder of the Mortgage Loans as a result of defaults on the Mortgage Loans at any time during the respective terms of those Mortgage
Loans.
(m) Defense
of Title; Preservation of Mortgage Assets. Seller warrants and will defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in and to all Mortgage

extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction shall be increased by the aggregate amount
obtained by daily application of (x) the greater of (i) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction and (ii) the Prime Rate
plus five percent (5%) to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the accelerated Repurchase Date as determined pursuant
to Section 11(b) (decreased as of any day by (A) any amounts retained by Buyer with respect to such Repurchase
Price pursuant to Section 11(b)(iii) and 11(b)(iv) and (B) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased Mortgage

the exercise by Buyer of its option under Section 11(b)(i), without prior notice to Seller, Buyer may (A) immediately
sell, on a servicing released or servicing retained basis as Buyer deems desirable, in a recognized market at such price or prices as
Buyer may in its sole discretion deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans and MBS subject to such Transactions and apply
the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller to Buyer or any other Indemnified
Party under the Transaction Documents or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased
Mortgage Loans and MBS, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value therefor on such
date against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller to Buyer or any other Indemnified Party under
the Transaction Documents.
(e) The
proceeds of any disposition or the amount of any credit described above shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default (including legal fees, consulting fees, accounting fees, file
transfer and inventory fees, costs and expenses incurred in respect of a transfer of the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and
costs and expenses incurred in connection with a disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loans); second, to costs of cover
and/or related hedging transactions; third, to the aggregate and accrued Price Differential owed hereunder, fourth,
to the remaining aggregate Repurchase Prices owed hereunder; fifth, to any other accrued and unpaid obligations of Seller
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and sixth, any remaining proceeds shall be paid to Seller or other
Person legally entitled thereto.
(f) The Parties acknowledge and agree that:
(i) Buyer
has no desire or intention to hold any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or MBS for investment under any circumstances, and if (x) Seller
fails to repurchase any Purchased Mortgage Loan or MBS when required to do so by this Agreement, whether before or after its termination,
or (y) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (z) Buyer has not made an affirmative election under the circumstances
then prevailing to retain such Purchased Mortgage Loan or MBS pursuant to clause (B) of Section 11(d), Buyer
will sell it (i) if practicable and if the sale can be made without Buyer’s having to undertake representation, warranty or
other obligations that Buyer, acting in its sole discretion, considers unacceptable, to the relevant Approved Takeout Investor (if any),
or (ii) by private sale to another Person in the secondary mortgage market or securities market, as applicable, undertaking only
such representation, warranty and other obligations, if any, to such Person as Buyer, acting in its sole discretion, considers acceptable,
at the earliest reasonable opportunity and for such price as Buyer, acting in its sole discretion, determines to be the optimal price
available at the time of such sale; provided that if at any time Buyer determines that the secondary market for Multifamily Mortgage
Loans or securities market, as applicable, is illiquid, disrupted or dysfunctional, Buyer may elect to postpone sales of Purchased Mortgage
Loans or MBS or both for so long as Buyer determines that any such market conditions persist, and no such delay shall be construed to
constitute or require a change in the classification of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or MBS in Buyer’s hands from “held for
sale” to “held for investment”, and in all cases, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, their Market
Value shall be the only “reasonable determinant of value” of Purchased Mortgage Loans or MBS for purposes of Section 562
of the Bankruptcy Code;
66
(ii) in
the absence (whether because of market disruptions or for any other reason whatsoever) of a generally recognized source for secondary
mortgage market prices of, or for bid or offer quotations for, any one or more Purchased Mortgage Loans at any time, whether before or
after any termination of this Agreement, if Buyer elects to determine the Market Values of Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may use such
means, methods, averaging, weighting, calculations and assumptions as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be appropriate, and
Buyer’s determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error, for all purposes, it being the Parties’ specific
intention to include therein the purposes of Sections 559 and 562 of the Bankruptcy Code; and
(iii) in
determining the Market Value of any Purchased Mortgage Loans, it is reasonable for Buyer to use and rely on the information regarding
such Purchased Mortgage Loans provided by Seller without being required to check or verify the accuracy or completeness of such information.
(g) The Parties further recognize that if,
under the circumstances described in clause
(x) or clause (y) of
Section 11(f)(i), Buyer has elected to sell Purchased Mortgage Loans, the market for Mortgage Loans may then be insufficiently
liquid or dysfunctional in other respects, they agree that Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Mortgage
Loan, and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer (i) to liquidate any Purchased Mortgage Loan immediately after Seller’s
failure to repurchase it when required by this Agreement, the occurrence of an Event of Default or any termination of this Agreement,
or (ii) to liquidate all Purchased Mortgage Loans in the same manner or on the same day, and no exercise by Buyer of any right or
remedy shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for
(i) the amount of all reasonable legal or
other expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the
cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions reasonably incurred) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or
terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or
expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.
(h) To
the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the
date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by or on behalf of Seller or (ii) satisfied
in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller to Buyer under this Section 11(h) shall
be at a rate equal to the greater of (x) the Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction and (y) the Prime Rate plus five percent
(5%).
(i) If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to
it under any other agreement entered into in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, under applicable law or
in equity.
67
(j) Seller
hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller.
(k) Notwithstanding
any optionality that is otherwise available to Buyer pursuant to this Section 11, before exercising any of the remedies set
forth therein with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan that is subject to a takeout commitment of Fannie Mae, Buyer shall be obligated
to deliver to Fannie Mae a written offer to sell such Purchased Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of such takeout
commitment. If Fannie Mae either (i) expressly declines to purchase a Purchased Mortgage Loan that has been so offered for sale,
or (ii) fails to respond to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such an offer, whichever first occurs, then
Buyer shall be free to make an election of remedies as specified in this Section 11 with respect to such Purchased Mortgage
Loan. For purposes of clarification, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and Buyer confirm that
any such sale of a Purchased Mortgage Loan to Fannie Mae shall be on a servicing-released basis and subject to all applicable Agency
requirements; provided that Buyer shall not be required to undertake any representation or warranty that Buyer considers unacceptable
in its sole discretion. The parties acknowledge that Fannie Mae is a third party beneficiary of this Section 11(k) and
shall deliver such further assurances as Fannie Mae may reasonably require. Lender acknowledges that the execution and delivery of such
further assurances are within the scope of the power of attorney set forth in Section 18.
12. Servicing Rights Are Owned by Buyer; Interim Servicing of the
Purchased Mortgage Loans
(a) As
a condition of purchasing an Eligible Mortgage Loan, Buyer hereby engages Seller to interim service such Purchased Mortgage Loan as agent
for Buyer for a term (the “Interim Servicing Term”) commencing on the Purchase Date of such Purchased Mortgage Loan
and ending on the first Remittance Date thereafter, as such term may be renewed from time to time as provided in Section 12(a)(v),
on the following terms and conditions:
(i) Seller
shall interim service and temporarily administer the Purchased Mortgage Loan on behalf of Buyer in accordance with prudent mortgage loan
servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with all applicable requirements
of the Agencies, Requirements of Law, the provisions of any applicable servicing agreement, and the requirements of any applicable Purchase
Commitment and the Approved Takeout Investor, so that the eligibility of the Purchased Mortgage Loan for purchase under such Purchase
Commitment is not voided or reduced by such interim servicing and temporary administration.
(ii) If
any Eligible Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than Seller or any of its Affiliates
(a “Subservicer”), or if the interim servicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loan is to be transferred to a Subservicer,
each Seller shall provide a copy of the related subservicing agreement and a Subservicer Instruction Letter executed by such Subservicer
(collectively, the “Subservicing Agreement”) to Buyer before such Purchase Date or interim servicing transfer date,
as applicable. Each such Subservicing Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall have obtained
the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice Purchased Mortgage Loans, which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s
sole discretion. In no event shall Seller’s use of a Subservicer relieve Seller of its obligations hereunder, and Seller shall
remain liable under this Agreement as if Seller were interim servicing such Purchased Mortgage Loans directly. Any termination of Seller
as interim servicer shall automatically terminate each Subservicer. If any Agency or Governmental Authority revokes or materially restricts
any Subservicer’s authority to originate, sell or service Mortgage Loans, or if any Subservicer shall fail to meet all requisite
originator, seller and servicer eligibility qualifications promulgated by any Agency, Buyer may direct Seller to immediately terminate
such Subservicer as a subservicer of any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Seller shall promptly cause the termination of such
Subservicer as directed by Buyer.
68
(iii) Seller
acknowledges that it has no right, title or interest in the Servicing Rights for any Purchased Mortgage Loan, and agrees that it may
not transfer or assign any rights to master service, service, interim service, subservice or administer any Purchased Mortgage Loan before
Seller’s repurchase thereof from Buyer (by payment to Buyer of the Repurchase Price on the applicable Repurchase Date) other than
an interim servicing transfer to a Subservicer approved by Buyer pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement approved by Buyer as described
above in this Section 12.
(iv) Seller
shall deliver all physical and contractual servicing materials, files and records for the servicing of each Purchased Mortgage Loan,
together with all of the related Servicing Records that are not already in Buyer’s possession, to Buyer’s designee upon the
earliest of (w) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default hereunder unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller that the Interim
Servicing Term is renewed and specifying the renewal term, (x) the expiration (and non-renewal) of the Interim Servicing Term or
(y) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity. Seller’s transfer
of the Servicing Records and the physical and such contractual servicing materials, files and records under this Section 12(a)(iv) shall
be in accordance with customary standards in the industry and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of all escrows
held for the related mortgagors without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”.
(v) The
Interim Servicing Term will be deemed renewed on each Remittance Date following the second Remittance Date after the related Purchase
Date for a renewal term extending to the next succeeding Remittance Date unless (i) Seller has sooner been terminated as interim
servicer of all of the Purchased Mortgaged Loans or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred on or before such Remittance Date, in
which latter event the Interim Servicing Term will expire on such Remittance Date unless Buyer gives written notice to Seller that the
Interim Servicing Term is renewed and specifying the renewal term.
(vi) The
Interim Servicing Term will automatically terminate and Seller shall have no further obligation to interim service such Purchased Mortgage
Loan as agent for Buyer or to make the delivery of documents required under this Section 12, upon receipt by Buyer of the
Repurchase Price therefor.
(vii) Buyer
has no obligation to pay Seller a fee for the interim servicing obligations Seller agrees to assume hereunder, no fee or other compensation
will ever accrue or be or become owing, due or payable for or on account of such interim servicing and such interim servicing rights
have no monetary value.
69
(b) During
the period Seller is interim servicing the Purchased Mortgage Loans as agent for Buyer, Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of the
related Servicing Rights, Credit Files and Servicing Records and Seller, acting as interim servicer, shall at all times maintain and
safeguard the Credit File for the Purchased Mortgage Loan (including photocopies or images of the documents delivered to Buyer), and
accurate and complete records of its interim servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller’s possession of the Credit Files
and Servicing Records being for the sole purpose of interim servicing such Purchased Mortgage Loans and such retention and possession
by Seller being in a temporary custodial capacity only.
(c) Seller further covenants as follows:
(i) Buyer
may, at any time during Seller’s business hours on reasonable notice (provided that after the occurrence of a Default or an Event
of Default, no notice shall be required), examine and make copies of all such documents and records relating to interim servicing and
administration of the Purchased Mortgage Loans;
(ii) At
Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being interim
serviced by Seller, which reports shall include a description of any event that would cause the Purchased Mortgage Loan to become a Defaulted
Loan or a Defective Mortgage Loan or any other circumstances that could cause a material adverse effect on such Purchased Mortgage Loan,
Buyer’s title to or security interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing it; Seller may be required to
deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller;
(iii) Seller
shall immediately notify Buyer if it becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under any Purchased Mortgage Loan; and
(iv) If,
during the Post-Origination Period, any Mortgagor contacts Seller requesting a payoff quote on the related Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller
shall ensure that any payoff quote provided requires Mortgagor to wire payoff funds directly to the Funding Account and includes wiring
instructions therefor.
(d) Seller
shall release its custody of the contents of any Credit File only (i) in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, (ii) when
such release is required as incidental to Seller’s servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, or is required to fulfill the related
Purchase Commitment or comply with the relevant Guide, or (iii) as required by any Requirements of Law.
(e) Buyer
shall have the right to appoint a successor interim servicer, or a regular servicer, to service any Purchased Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor
Servicer”) at any time (i) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (ii) before the pending expiration
of the Interim Servicing Term (such appointment pursuant to this clause (ii) to be effective upon such expiration). If Buyer
elects to make such an appointment after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Seller shall be assessed all costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer associated with transferring the physical and contractual servicing materials, files and records for the servicing
of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, together with all related Servicing Records, to the Successor Servicer. In the event of such an appointment,
Seller shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Credit File and related Servicing Records held by Seller, together
with any and all mortgagors’ escrow payments held in any account and all other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan,
are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer, and shall otherwise fully cooperate with Buyer in effectuating such transfer. Seller
shall have no claim for lost interim servicing income, any termination fee, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor
Servicer hereunder. Buyer may, in its sole discretion if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without payment of
any termination fee or any other amount to Seller, sell any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on a servicing released basis, at
the sole cost and expense of Seller.
70
(f) In
the event Seller is terminated as interim servicer of any Purchased Mortgage Loan, whether by expiry of the Interim Servicing Term or
by any other means, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in effecting such termination and transferring all authority to interim service
such Purchased Mortgage Loan to the Successor Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall, in the manner
and at such times as the Successor Servicer or Buyer shall reasonably request (i) promptly transfer all data in its possession relating
to the applicable Purchased Mortgage Loans and other Mortgage Assets to the Successor Servicer in such electronic format as the Successor
Servicer may reasonably request, (ii) promptly transfer to the Successor Servicer, Buyer or Buyer’s designee all other files,
records, correspondence and documents relating to the applicable Purchased Mortgage Loans and other Mortgage Assets and (iii) fully
cooperate and coordinate with the Successor Servicer and/or Buyer to comply with any applicable so-called “goodbye” letter
requirements, notices or other applicable requirements of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other applicable Requirements
of Law applicable to the transfer of the servicing of the applicable Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller agrees that if Seller fails to
cooperate with Buyer or any Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of Seller as servicer of any Purchased Mortgage Loan or the
transfer of all authority to service such Purchased Mortgage Loan to such Successor Servicer in accordance with the terms hereof, Buyer
will be irreparably harmed and entitled to injunctive relief and shall not be required to post bond.
(g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, Seller and Buyer agree that all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased
Mortgage Loans are being transferred hereunder to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date, the Purchase Price for the Purchased Mortgage
Loans includes full and fair consideration for such Servicing Rights and such Servicing Rights will be conclusively deemed to be transferred
by Buyer to Seller upon Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Mortgage Loans.
13. Single Agreement
Buyer and Seller acknowledge
that, and have entered into this Agreement and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the
fact that, all Transactions hereunder, together with the provisions of the Side Letter, constitute a single business and contractual
relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all
of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder and its obligations under the Side Letter, and that a default in the performance
of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall
be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect
of any other Transactions hereunder or any obligations under the Side Letter and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers
made by either of them in respect of any Transaction or any agreement under the Side Letter shall be deemed to have been made in consideration
of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder or any agreement under the Side Letter, and
the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

15. Fees and Expenses; Indemnity
(a) Seller
will pay its own legal and accounting fees and other costs incurred in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and
this facility. Seller will promptly pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer, including reasonable attorneys’

or in any manner connected with, the purchase by Buyer of any Mortgage Loan or the servicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loans by Seller;
provided that Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent such Losses result from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.
16. Release of Possession of Mortgage Loan Documents for Correction.
If Seller believes that a
Mortgage Note or other Mortgage Loan Document for a Purchased Mortgage Loan that has been delivered to Buyer contains one or more errors
or omissions that are correctable and the correction of which is necessary to facilitate the purchase or enforceability of that Mortgage
Loan, then Seller may deliver to Buyer a written request for the release of the Mortgage Note or other such document to Seller for the
purpose of making that correction and stating the specific reason for the release. If Buyer, in its sole discretion, deems the reason
stated by Seller in such request to be sufficient to warrant release of possession of the Mortgage Note or such other document to such
Seller for correction, then Buyer will deliver the Mortgage Note or such other Mortgage Loan Document to Seller at its earliest convenience.
Seller shall return to Buyer the corrected Mortgage Note or other document provided by no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after
the date it is released by Buyer. Whenever the Mortgage Note or any other Mortgage Loan Document for any Purchased Mortgage Loan is in
the possession of Seller, Seller shall hold it in trust for the benefit of Buyer. At no time shall the sum of the Outstanding Principal
Balances of Purchased Mortgage Loans whose Mortgage Notes or other Mortgage Loan Documents have been (and still are) released to Seller
pursuant to this Section 16 exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

the consent of any Person, provided that any such assignment, other than an assignment to an Affiliate of Buyer, is subject to
the prior written consent of Seller so long as an Event of Default or Default has not occurred and is not continuing. Any such assignment
shall be in a minimum amount of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) unless otherwise consented to by Seller; provided that
Seller’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing. Resales of Purchased Mortgage

or Buyer’s liquidation of the Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 11 and (ii) Buyer’s obligation
to deliver the same to Seller or its designee upon receipt of the Repurchase Price therefor)in accordance with applicable law, shall
be permitted without restriction. Buyer may sell participation interests in all or any portion of its rights, obligations and interest
under this Agreement and in the Mortgage Assets to any Person at any time without the consent of any Person. In addition to, and notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in, the foregoing, Buyer may assign its rights to enforce this Agreement as to any Mortgage Loan to any
Person that subsequently purchases such Mortgage Loan from Buyer or provides financing to Buyer with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
76
(c) In
addition to the foregoing, Buyer may, at any time in its sole discretion, pledge or grant a Lien in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement (including any rights to Mortgage Assets and any rights to payment of the Repurchase Price) to secure obligations
to a Federal Reserve Bank or a Federal Home Loan Bank, without notice to or consent of Seller; provided that no such pledge or
grant of a security interest would release Buyer from any of its obligations under this Agreement, or substitute any such pledgee or
grantee for Buyer as a party to this Agreement.
(d) Subject
to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall bind and benefit the Parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.

any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 21, Buyer shall not be precluded from assigning, charging or otherwise dealing
with all or any part of its interest in any sum payable to it under Section 11.

Agreement and all Transactions outstanding hereunder shall terminate automatically without any requirement for notice on the date occurring
on or after the Termination Date on which all Repurchase Prices and all other obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents have
been paid in full.
22. Counterparts
(a) This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute
an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
(b) Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by telecopy, emailed pdf or any
other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery”
and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall
be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other similar state laws based
on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require Buyer to accept electronic signatures in
any form or format without its prior written consent.
23. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction
(a) This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal
law applicable to national banks.
77
(b) Seller

Court for the Southern District Of New York and of any New York state court sitting in the City of New York for purposes of all legal
proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby, or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding
may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against Buyer may only) be heard and determined in such state court
or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Seller hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively
do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and
any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this Section 23
shall affect the right of Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or its Property in the courts of other jurisdictions.
Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions
by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each Party consents to the service of any and all process in any such
action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address for notices hereunder specified in Section 14.
24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER AGENT (INCLUDING ANY ATTORNEY)
OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 24.
25. No Waivers, Etc.
No express or implied waiver
of any Event of Default by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by Buyer
shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
and no consent by any Party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by
both of the Parties hereto.
26. Use of Employee Plan Assets
(a) If
assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA are intended to be used by Seller in a Transaction, Seller shall
so notify Buyer before the Transaction. Seller shall represent in writing to Buyer that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited
transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and Buyer may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.
(b) Subject
to the last sentence of Section 26(a), any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer
its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial
condition.
78
(c) By entering into a Transaction pursuant
to this Section 26, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest
such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition that Seller has not
disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition
as they are issued, so long as any such Transaction is outstanding.
27. Intent
(a) The
Parties intend and acknowledge that each Transaction, as well as the Guaranty, is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is
defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741
of the Bankruptcy Code. Seller and Parent each hereby agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement or the
Guaranty as a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, or as a “securities
contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code in any dispute or proceeding.
(b) It
is understood that either Party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Mortgage Loans delivered to it
in connection with Transactions hereunder, or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 11, is a contractual right
to accelerate, terminate or liquidate this Agreement or such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(c) The
Parties agree and acknowledge that if a Party hereto is an “insured depository institution” as that term is defined in the
FDIA, each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in FDIA, and any rules, orders
or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
(d) It
is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the FDICIA and
each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment
entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except
insofar as one or both of the Parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).
(e) It
is understood and agreed that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101
of the Bankruptcy Code, and that either Party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net
termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction
is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts
or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction as described in Section 561
of the Bankruptcy Code.
79
28. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections
The Parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
(a) in
the case of Transactions in which one of the Parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “1934 Act”), the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”)
do not protect the other Party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
(b) in
the case of Transactions in which one of the Parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with
the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other Party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
and
(c) in
the case of Transactions in which one of the Parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a
Transaction hereunder other than funds on deposit in a deposit account with such financial institution are not a deposit and therefore
are not insured by either the FDIC or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund.
29. Confidentiality
Confidential Terms.
The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one Party to any other regarding
the terms set forth in any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms”)
shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any Person (other than Affiliates and Subsidiaries thereof) without the prior
written consent of such other Party except to the extent that (i) such Person is an Affiliate, Subsidiary, division, or parent holding
company of a Party or a director, officer, employee or agent (including an accountant, legal counsel and other advisor) of a Party or
such Affiliate, division or parent holding company, (ii) in such Party’s opinion it is necessary to do so in working with legal
counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies (including any self-regulatory authority, such
as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or in order to comply with any applicable federal or state laws or regulations,
(iii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, (iv) in the event
of a Default or an Event of Default Buyer reasonably determines such information to be necessary or desirable to disclose in connection
with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder, or (v) to
the extent Buyer deems necessary or appropriate, in connection with an assignment or participation under Section 21 or in
connection with any hedging transaction related to Purchased Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Parties may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind,
the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact that may be relevant to understanding the U.S. federal,
state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to
such U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment, and the Parties may disclose
information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers,
that serve the financing industry; provided that Seller may not disclose (except as provided in clauses (i) through
(iii) of this Section 29) the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms (including
the Pricing Rate, Facility Fee or other fee, Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information
(including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions
and is not relevant to understanding the U.S. federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent
of Buyer. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Terms as provided in this Section 29 shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality
of such Confidential Terms as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The provisions set forth in this Section 29
shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year following such termination.
80
30. Setoff
Except to the extent specifically
permitted herein, Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all right to setoff that it may have under contract (including
this Agreement), applicable law, in equity or otherwise with respect to any funds or monies of Buyer (or any disclosed principal for which
Buyer is acting as agent) at any time held by or in the possession of Seller.
Seller agrees that Buyer may
set off any funds or monies of Seller at any time held by or in the possession of Buyer in connection with this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or otherwise, against any amounts Seller owes to Buyer, or against any amounts Seller owes to any other Indemnified
Party, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
31. WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES.
SELLER WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT SELLER MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER FROM BUYER IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
32. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION.
The following notification
is provided to Seller pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR
OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all
financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including
any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means
for Seller: When Seller opens an account, if Seller is an individual, Buyer will ask for Seller’s name, taxpayer identification
number, residential address, date of birth, and other information that will allow Buyer to identify Seller, and if Seller is not an individual,
Buyer will ask for Seller’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will allow Buyer
to identify Seller. Buyer may also ask, if Seller is an individual, to see Seller’s driver’s license or other identifying
documents, and if Seller is not an individual to see Seller’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.
81
33. No Fiduciary Duty, etc.
(a) Seller
and Parent each acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that Buyer will not have any obligations
except those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and Buyer is acting solely in the capacity
of an arm’s-length contractual counterparty to Seller and Parent with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Transactions
and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, Seller, Parent or any other Person. Seller and Parent each agrees that
it will not assert any claim against Buyer based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Person in connection with this Agreement
and the Transactions. Additionally, Seller and Parent each acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is not advising Seller or Parent as to any
legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Seller and Parent will consult with their own
advisors concerning such matters and each shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the Transactions,
and Buyer shall have no responsibility or liability to Seller or Parent with respect thereto.
(b) Seller
and Parent each further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that Buyer is a full service
banking or securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial
services. In the ordinary course of business, Buyer may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold
or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank
loans and other obligations) of, Seller, Parent and other companies with which Seller or Parent may have commercial or other relationships.
With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by Buyer or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities
and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.
(c) In
addition, Seller and Parent each acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that Buyer and its Affiliates
may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect
of which Seller or Parent may have conflicting interests regarding the Transactions and otherwise. Buyer will not use confidential information
obtained from Seller or Parent by virtue of the Transactions or its other relationships with Seller in connection with the performance
by Buyer of services for other companies, and Buyer will not furnish any such information to other companies. Seller also acknowledges
that Buyer has no obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or to furnish to Seller
or Parent, confidential information obtained from other companies.

PROCEDURES AND DOCUMENTATION FOR
WAREHOUSING
FANNIE MAE DUS AND OTHER FANNIE MAE MORTGAGE LOANS
Walker & Dunlop, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Seller”), must observe the following procedures and documentation requirements in all respects.
All documents must be satisfactory to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Buyer”) in its sole discretion. Capitalized terms
used in this Schedule without further definition have the meanings set forth in the Master Repurchase Agreement between Seller and Buyer
dated August 26, 2019 (as supplemented, amended, restated or replaced, the “Agreement”). Fannie Mae form numbers
used in this Schedule are for convenience only and Seller must use the equivalent forms required at the time of delivery of a Mortgage
Loan or an MBS.
I. At least three (3) Business Days before the Transaction
date, Buyer must receive a request via Mortgage Finance Online providing the following information on the subject Mortgage Loan:
1. Mortgagor’s name.
2. Project name.
3. Seller’s case/loan number.
4. Location of project.
5. Mortgage Note Amount.
6. Expected Transaction date.
7. Name, street address, email address, telephone number and telecopier number of title company and closing
attorney and contact person. The request must identify who will be responsible for custody of closing documents and delivery of required
items to Buyer.
8. If Seller self-funded the Mortgage Loan with unencumbered funds (a “Prefunded Mortgage Loan”),
then in lieu of the information listed in Item 7 above, the original closing date of the Prefunded Mortgage Loan, the Origination Date
of the Prefunded Mortgage Loan.
II. At least one (1) Business Day before the Transaction
date, Seller will send to Buyer electronically via Mortgage Finance Online before 11:00 a.m. (Houston, Texas time) the following:
1. The Transaction Request (Schedule TR), subject only to any changes communicated before 11:00 a.m. (Houston,
Texas time) on the Transaction date.
2. The following additional information on the subject Mortgage Loan:
(a) Note Rate.
(b) Name of Approved Takeout Investor.
(c) Discount (if any).
3. A copy of the closing settlement statement prepared by Seller or a copy of the proposed closing settlement
statement (a copy of the actual closing settlement statement shall be delivered to Buyer after the closing).
4. For Fannie Mae DUS Mortgage Loans, a copy of the confirmed Fannie Mae Multifamily MBS/DUS Commitment printed
from the C&D System.
5. For Other Fannie Mae Mortgage Loans, a copy of the Fannie Mae Multifamily Commitment printed from the
C&D System.
6. If an MBS is to be issued, a copy of the Purchase Commitment or trade confirmations for the MBS.
7. A copy of Buyer’s Escrow Instructions Letter to the settlement attorney (the “Buyer’s
Escrow Instructions Letter”), countersigned by an authorized representative of the settlement attorney involved with the transaction,
in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as (a) Schedule E&BL if the settlement attorney will also be acting as
the bailee of the Mortgage Note or (b) Schedule EL if the settlement attorney will not be acting as the bailee of the Mortgage Note.
The foregoing conditions shall not be applicable in the event the Transaction proceeds will be used to reimburse Seller for a Prefunded
Mortgage Loan.
No Transaction will be funded by Buyer prior to
Buyer’s receipt of all documents required under Section II above. Buyer shall have a reasonable time (one Business Day
under ordinary circumstances) to examine Seller’s Transaction Request and the related documents required to be delivered by Seller
before funding the requested Transaction, and may reject any Mortgage Loan that does not meet the requirements of this Schedule, the Agreement
or the related Purchase Commitment.
In accordance with the Escrow Letter, if applicable,
disbursement will be authorized only after the settlement attorney or closing counsel takes possession, on behalf of Buyer, of the signed
Mortgage Note, endorsed by Seller in blank and without recourse, and the title company is prepared to issue its title insurance policy.
Immediately after disbursement, the settlement attorney, the closing attorney or title company (as applicable, the “Closing Agent”)
must send the original of the Mortgage Note to Buyer for receipt by Buyer on the following Business Day. In the event the Mortgage Loan
is not closed and the related Mortgage submitted for recording by 4:30 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) on Transaction date, the Closing
Agent must return the Transaction proceeds immediately to the account specified in Buyer’s Escrow Letter unless otherwise approved
by Buyer before that time; provided that the Transaction proceeds may remain with the title company for up to two (2) Business
Days with prior written notice to Buyer and, if longer than two (2) Business Days, only with Buyer’s prior written approval.
The foregoing arrangements, which permit Buyer
to fund the Transaction after the Mortgage Note has been delivered to a third person on behalf of, and as agent and bailee for, Buyer,
and before the Mortgage Note is received by Buyer, are for the convenience of Seller. Seller retains all risk of loss or nondelivery of
the Mortgage Note, and Buyer does not have any liability or responsibility for those risks.
For any Transaction relating to a Prefunded Mortgage
Loan, the parties shall not engage a Closing Agent or utilize an Escrow Letter.

disbursement will be authorized only after the settlement attorney or closing counsel takes possession, on behalf of Buyer, of the signed
Governmental Note, endorsed by Seller in blank and without recourse, and the title company is prepared to issue its title insurance policy.
Immediately after disbursement, the settlement attorney, the closing attorney or title company (as applicable, the “Closing Agent”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This third amended and restated
letter, hereby amends and restates that certain second amended and restated Side Letter, dated as of September 11, 2025 (as amended
hereby and as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Side Letter”),
and sets forth certain fees, commitments and pricing information relating to the agreement among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as buyer (“Buyer”),
Walker & Dunlop, LLC, as seller (“Seller”), and Walker & Dunlop, Inc., as parent (“Parent”),
pursuant to which Seller engages Buyer to enter into reverse repurchase arrangements whereby Seller from time to time sells to Buyer,
and simultaneously agrees to repurchase on a date certain or on demand, certain mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”)
pursuant to the Agreement. This is the “Side Letter” as defined and referenced in the Agreement. Capitalized terms defined
in the Agreement and used, but not defined differently, in this Side Letter have the same meanings here as there.

Buyer and Seller agree, for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, as follows:
1. Facility
Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, Buyer agrees to consider on an uncommitted and wholly discretionary
basis, entering into Transactions from time to time under the Agreement, as supplemented by this Side Letter, with respect to Eligible
Mortgage Loans having a maximum Aggregate Purchase Price outstanding at any one time of up to One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000) (such
maximum amount, the “Facility Amount”) from the date hereof until the Termination Date.
The Parties agree (1) that:
(x) notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 7(b)(xi) of the Agreement, Buyer may from time to time electively enter into one or more Transactions
with Seller; or
(y) another
event may occur, or other circumstances may exist;
after which the Aggregate Purchase Price shall
be greater than the Facility Amount, and (2) that notwithstanding the occurrence or existence of any such event or circumstances,
every Transaction shall be and remain fully subject to all of the other terms and conditions of the Agreement and all other related Transaction
Documents and entitled to all benefits thereof.
In addition, the Parties may
agree to increase or decrease the Facility Amount to any amount from time to time in the future by executing a letter agreement stating
the new Facility Amount and the period of time that the same will be in effect. At the time of any reduction in the Facility Amount whether
pursuant to a letter agreement decreasing such amount or because the time limit for any increase in the Facility Amount shall have expired,
Seller shall be obligated, without notice or demand, to make a cash payment to Buyer in an amount equal to any excess of the Aggregate
Purchase Price then funded and outstanding against the Facility Amount over the then-effective Facility Amount such payment to be applied
by Buyer to reduce the Repurchase Prices of Purchased Mortgage Loans that are then subject to outstanding Transactions. Neither Parent’s
Guaranty nor any other (future) Guaranty, if any, shall be reduced, limited, canceled, terminated or impaired in any way by any such future
change in the Facility Amount whether or not any Guarantor concurrently executes a confirmation of its Guaranty.
2. Purchase
Price.
For purposes of the Agreement
and all other Transaction Documents, “Purchase Price” means, on any day and for any Eligible Mortgage Loan, one hundred
percent (100%) of the lowest on that day of its (i) Outstanding Principal Balance and (ii) Takeout Value.
3. Pricing
Rate.
For purposes of the Agreement
and all other Transaction Documents, the “Pricing Rate” for each Purchased Mortgage Loan for each day during a calendar month
shall be the per annum percentage rate equal to the sum of the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus one hundred and thirty-five basis points
(1.35%); provided that if Buyer, acting in its sole discretion, shall elect from time to time to give Seller a notice (which notice
may be via electronic mail) specifying a lower or higher Pricing Rate (or Pricing Rates) for a specified time period and specified Purchased
Mortgage Loan, such lower or higher Pricing Rate(s) specified in such notice shall be applicable for the time period and Purchased
Mortgage Loan specified in such notice, provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that in no event shall any such specified
Pricing Rate delivered by Buyer in accordance with the immediately preceding proviso exceed the sum of the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for
that day plus one hundred and forty-five basis points (1.45%).

terms shall have the corresponding definitions:
“Adjusted Term SOFR

Conforming Changes” means any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business
Day,” the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of Price Differential, timing of Transaction requests,
length of lookback periods and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that Buyer decides in its reasonable discretion
may be appropriate to reflect the implementation and administration of Pricing Rates based on the Term SOFR Rate, the Alternate Rate or
any other interest rate benchmark adopted by Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof and to permit the administration thereof by Buyer
in a manner substantially consistent with then-prevailing market practice (or, if Buyer decides that adoption of any portion of such prevailing
market practice is not administratively feasible or if Buyer determines that no prevailing market practice for the administration of such
interest rate benchmark then exists, in such other manner of administration as Buyer decides is reasonably necessary in connection with
the administration of this Side Letter and the other Transaction Documents).
“Benchmark Transition
Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to SOFR:
(i) a
public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the SOFR Administrator announcing that such SOFR Administrator has ceased

(ii) a
public statement or publication of information by the NYFRB, the Federal Reserve Board, or, as applicable, the regulatory supervisor for
the SOFR Administrator, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the SOFR Administrator, a resolution authority with jurisdiction
over the SOFR Administrator or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the SOFR Administrator, in each
case, which states that the SOFR Administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Term SOFR Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided
that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Term SOFR
Rate; or

(iii) a
public statement or publication of information by the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, the SOFR Administrator or the regulatory supervisor

longer be, representative.
“Business Day”
means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Buyer is authorized or required by law or regulation to remain closed;
provided that, when used in the context of the determination of the Term SOFR Rate, the term “Business Day”
shall also exclude any day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments
of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in United States government securities.
“Federal Reserve
Board” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America.

SOFR Screen Rate as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of calculating such rate.

(c) Benchmarks;
No Liability. The Pricing Rate is derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future
become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 3(d) below provides
a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. Buyer does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have
any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Rate, or with
respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition
or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic
equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior
to its discontinuance or unavailability. Buyer and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect
the calculation of the Pricing Rate or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Alternate Rate) and/or any relevant
adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Seller. Buyer may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion
to ascertain the Pricing Rate used for the purposes of the Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof,
in each case pursuant to the terms of this Side Letter, and shall have no liability to Seller or any other person or entity for damages
of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether
in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof)
provided by any such information source or service.
(d) Alternate
Rate of Interest. If a Benchmark Transition Event occurs, Buyer may, by notice to Seller, amend this Side Letter to establish an alternate
rate of interest for the Term SOFR Rate that gives due consideration to the then-evolving or prevailing market convention for determining
a rate of interest for loans in US Dollars at such time (the “Alternate Rate”); Seller acknowledges that the Alternate
Rate may include a mathematical adjustment using any then-evolving or prevailing market convention or method for determining a spread
adjustment for the replacement of the Term SOFR Rate (which may include, if the Term SOFR Rate already contains such a spread, adding
that spread to the Alternate Rate). The Alternate Rate, together with all Benchmark Conforming Changes specified in any notice, shall
become effective at the later of (i) the fifth (5th) Business Day after Buyer has provided notice (including without limitation for
this purpose, by electronic means) to Seller (the “Notice Date”) and (ii) a date specified by Buyer in the notice,
without any further action or consent of Seller, so long as Buyer has not received, by 5:00 pm Eastern time on the Notice Date, written
notice of objection to the Alternate Rate from Seller. If, on the date the Term SOFR Rate actually becomes permanently unavailable pursuant
to a Benchmark Transition Event, an Alternate Rate has not been established in this manner, Transactions will, until an Alternate Rate
is so established, accrue Price Differential at the Prime Rate. In no event shall the Alternate Rate be less than zero. All determinations
by Buyer under this Section 3(d) shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
(e) Illegality/Temporary
Unavailability. If:
(i) any
applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, rule or regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to Buyer) or
the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority charged with such interpretation or administration, or compliance
by Buyer with any guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall make it unlawful
or impossible for Buyer to maintain or fund Transactions using a Pricing Rate based on the Term SOFR Rate; or
Walker & Dunlop, LLC
Walker & Dunlop, Inc.
September 9, 2026
Page 6
(ii) Buyer
determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis); or
(iii) Buyer
determines the Term SOFR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer of funding Transactions using a Pricing Rate based
on the Term SOFR Rate;
then Buyer shall give notice
thereof to Seller as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until Buyer notifies Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such notice
no longer exist, (A) any Price Differential accruing on any Purchased Mortgage Loan purchased by Buyer in a Transaction whose Repurchase
Date has not yet occurred shall accrue, from and after the date of such circumstance or determination to and including the applicable
Repurchase Date, at the Alternate Rate (or, if no Alternate Rate has then been established, at the Prime Rate), and (B) any Purchased
Mortgage Loan purchased by Buyer in a Transaction whose Purchase Date occurs after the date of such circumstance or determination shall
accrue Price Differential at the Alternate Rate (or, if no Alternate Rate has then been established, at the Prime Rate).
In connection with the implementation
and/or administration of Pricing Rates based on the Term SOFR Rate, the Alternate Rate or any other interest rate benchmark adopted by
Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof, Buyer will have the right to make Benchmark Conforming Changes from time to time upon delivery
of written notice thereof to Seller and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller.
4. Non-Usage
Fee.
Seller shall pay to Buyer
on each Remittance Date following the end of each whole or partial calendar quarter after the third calendar quarter of 2025, and on the
day the Agreement terminates, an amount (the “Non-Usage Fee”) equal to the product of (x) twenty-five basis points
(0.25%) multiplied by the number of days in the quarter divided by 360, times (b) the positive result, if any, of subtracting from
Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), the average of the daily balances of Purchase Price outstanding at the end of each day during such
(whole or partial) calendar quarter; provided that no Non-Usage Fee shall be due with respect to any quarter for which the average
aggregate Purchase Price outstanding during such quarter is equal to or greater than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000). The Non-Usage
Fee, if any, for the quarter in which the Agreement is terminated shall be prorated based on the actual number of days the Agreement is
effective during such quarter. Non-Usage Fee payments are not refundable in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever.
5. [Reserved]

Date.
7. Change
in Facility Amount; Calculation of Fees.

the Agreement is amended pursuant to its terms so as to increase or decrease the Facility Amount, all calculations of fees under this
Side Letter that are based on the Facility Amount shall be adjusted accordingly as of the date such amendment becomes effective.

shall calculate the amounts of the Pricing Rate and the Non-Usage Fee and the results of such calculations shall be incontestable absent
manifest error. Buyer shall advise Seller of the periodic amounts of such rate and fees at least one (1) Business Day before payment
is due.

Agreement.
In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms and provisions contained herein and those in the Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Side Letter shall govern.

agents as is required in order to fulfill its obligations under such documents and with respect to such transactions.
11. Term

(a) The
terms and provisions set forth in this Side Letter shall terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the Termination Date, (b) the
day on which the Agreement is terminated and (c) the day on which all amounts due by Seller under the Transaction Documents have
been indefeasibly paid in full.
(b) No
amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification of this Side Letter shall be effective unless made in writing and executed by each

(a)
The rights and obligations of Seller under this Side Letter shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of
Buyer and any such assignment without the prior written consent of Buyer shall be null and void.
