Section 4.2 Representations and Warranties of the Seller regarding the Servicing Rights and Mortgage Loans.

The Seller represents and warrants as follows as of the Effective Date and the Sale Date (or such other dates as set forth herein):

(e) The Servicing Agreements do not contain terms and conditions that (i) increase the obligations in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans beyond that stated in the Guides and (ii) would apply to the Purchaser as the transferee of the Servicing Rights. None of the Servicing Agreements nor any other agreement or understanding applicable to any of the Mortgage Loans provides for a Recourse Obligation.

(f) The Seller has not engaged any subservicers, subcontractors or other agents to perform any of its duties under any of the Servicing Agreements, other than engagements that are permitted by, and are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of, the Servicing Agreements, and all fees and expenses due and payable to any such subservicer, subcontractor or agent as of the Transfer Date have been paid, or will be paid before overdue, by the Seller.

(g) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, contained in each Mortgage File, or contained in any Electronic Data File, and all other information provided by or on behalf of the Seller with respect to the Servicing Rights and the related Mortgage Loans is true, correct and complete in all respects, as of the date provided or indicated therein.

(h) None of the Mortgage Loans is an Excluded Mortgage Loan.

(i) Each Mortgage Loan conformed and conforms to Applicable Requirements in effect at the related time, and each Mortgage Loan was eligible for sale to, insurance by, or pooling to back securities issued or guaranteed by, or participation certificates issued by, the Investor upon such sale or pooling. Each Mortgage Loan has been originated, underwritten, closed, funded, sold, pooled and serviced in compliance with all Applicable Requirements. The Seller is not otherwise in default with respect to the Seller’s obligations under the Servicing Agreements or Applicable Requirements as related to the Servicing Rights or Mortgage Loans, in any material respect. The Seller has complied with all anti-money laundering laws and regulations applicable to it as originator, seller and Servicer, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2003, and the laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which prohibit dealings with certain countries, territories, entities and individuals named in OFAC’s Sanction Programs and on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, in all material respects, and has established an anti-money laundering compliance program as required by such anti-money laundering laws and regulations.

(j) Each Mortgage Loan which is required pursuant to Applicable Requirements or which is represented by the Seller to have mortgage insurance or a guaranty certificate has such mortgage insurance or a guaranty certificate, and has an accurate holder identification for purposes of filing claims. All provisions of such insurance policies or guarantees have been and are being complied with in all respects, all premiums due thereunder have been paid, and such policies and/or guarantee are in full force and effect. None of the PMI Policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans provide for payment of the related premiums by the lender or mortgagee.

(k) Each Mortgage File contains all of the documents and instruments required to be included therein pursuant to Applicable Requirements. All books, records and accounts of the Seller and the Seller’s document custodian with respect to the Servicing Rights and the Mortgage Loans are complete, properly maintained, and accurately reflect the subject matter thereof. All Pools are finally certified and eligible for recertification, as applicable, in accordance with Applicable Requirements. The Collateral Files to be delivered to the Document Custodian will include all documents necessary in order for the Document Custodian to certify or recertify the Pools in accordance with Applicable Requirements, as applicable. Each Mortgage Loan included in a Pool meets all eligibility requirements for inclusion in such Pool, and the Seller caused each Pool to be properly formed. Each Pool is properly balanced and fully funded.

(l) All Custodial Accounts required to be maintained by the Seller have been established and continuously maintained in accordance with Applicable Requirements in all material respects. Custodial Funds received by the Seller have been credited to the appropriate Custodial Account, and have been retained in and disbursed from the Custodial Accounts in accordance with Applicable Requirements. In accordance with Applicable Requirements, the Seller has analyzed the payments required to be deposited into the Custodial Accounts and adjusted the payment thereto in order to eliminate any deficiency. With regard to Mortgage Loans that provide for Mortgage Escrow Payments, the Seller and each Originator and Prior Servicer has (a) computed the amount of such payments in accordance with Applicable Requirements, (b) paid on a timely basis all charges and other items to be paid out of the Mortgage Escrow Payments, and when required by the Servicing Agreement has advanced its own funds to pay such charges and items, and (c) delivered to the related Mortgagors the statements and notices required by Applicable Requirements in connection with Custodial Accounts, including statements of taxes and other items paid out of the Mortgage Escrow Payments and notices of adjustments to the amount of the Mortgage Escrow Payments.

(m) The Advances are valid and subsisting accounts owing to the Seller, are eligible for reimbursement by the applicable Insurer or the Investor pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements, are carried on the books of the Seller at values determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and are not subject to any set-off or claim that could be asserted against the Seller or the Purchaser, and the Seller has not received any notice from any Investor, Insurer or other Person in which the Investor, Insurer or Person disputes or denies a claim by the Seller for reimbursement in connection with an Advance. No Advance has

been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than Purchaser. The Seller has not taken any action that, or failed to take any action the omission of which, would impair the rights of Purchaser with respect to any such Advance.

(n) None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to any demand or request for repurchase by the Investor or any Insurer or for rescission of any Mortgage Insurance or denial of any Mortgage Insurance claim. None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to any indemnification agreement, reimbursement arrangement or similar agreement pursuant to which Purchaser may be required to indemnify or reimburse the Investor, an Insurer or any other Person for any Loss or other amounts related to such Mortgage Loans.

(o) No Mortgage Loan is classified as a “high cost mortgage” under Section 32 of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994. Each Mortgage Loan complied with the anti-predatory and abusive lending requirements of the Guides when sold to or securitized with the Investor.

(p) All monies received with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been properly accounted for and applied. The Seller has remitted or otherwise made available to the Investor (i) all principal and interest payments received to which the Investor is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreements, including any guaranty fees, and (ii) all P & I Advances required by such Servicing Agreements. In accordance with Applicable Requirements, the Seller has prepared and submitted to the Investor all reports in connection with such payments required by Applicable Requirements.

(q) The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Purchaser and which is contained in the Collateral Files. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the Investor and any Insurer, if such approval is required by Applicable Requirements, or has been executed in accordance with Investor’s Guide or Insurer’s guidelines, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the applicable Insurer, and which assumption agreement is part of the Collateral File delivered to the document custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(r) The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.

(s) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws

relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and the application of general equitable principles (regardless of whether the issue of enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other related agreement, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

(t) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to exceptions permitted by the Investor and any Insurer. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to Purchaser.

(u) Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of the Investor. Each Mortgage Loan has in place a hazard insurance policy (and if required, a wind insurance policy) with their own insurance policy, and not a force placed insurance policy, that satisfies the applicable covenants of the related Mortgage Loan. If, upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect, which policy conforms to all Applicable Requirements. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller and its respective successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. Each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement of such cost and expense from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, each Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. Each hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the sale of the related Servicing Rights. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of any Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission that would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either, including no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(v) Each Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title the form and substance of which is acceptable to the Investor, or (ii) an American Land Title Association mortgagee title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to the Investor issued by a title insurer acceptable to the Investor, and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, insuring, subject only to the exceptions listed in clause (p) above, Seller, and its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit located in a state in which a title insurer will generally issue an endorsement, then the related title insurance policy contains an endorsement insuring the validity of the creation of the condominium form of ownership with respect to the project in which such unit is located. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such mortgagee title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. Seller is the named insured and the sole insured of such mortgagee title insurance policy, the assignment to Purchaser of Seller’s interest in such mortgagee title insurance policy does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer (or if such consent or notification is required, such consent has been received, or such notification has been given), and such mortgagee title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect and will inure to the benefit of Purchaser upon the consummation of the sale of the related Servicing Rights. No claims have been made under such mortgagee title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(w) There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.

(x) As of the Sale Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. To the extent required by Applicable Requirements, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence

(y) There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended.

(z) [reserved]

(aa) To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, each Mortgagor and each Mortgaged Property is not and has not been in violation of any Applicable Requirements. Each Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving any Mortgaged Property of which the Seller is aware in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; and to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation consisting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property.

(bb) There was no fraud in the origination or servicing of any Mortgage Loan, whether the result of any act or omission of the Originator, a Prior Servicer, the Seller, the Mortgagor, or any employee, representative or agent of the foregoing.

Section 4.3 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants as follows as of the Effective Date and the Sale Date:

The Purchaser is a member in good standing of the MERS system.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 Indemnification of the Purchaser.

(m) The Seller shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser, its shareholders and Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from, and will reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses incurred by any of them to the extent that such Losses result from, are caused by or arise out of any one or more of the following: (i) any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement regardless of the existence of actual or constructive knowledge of the Seller where such representation or warranty was made subject to the Seller’s knowledge; (ii) the nonfulfillment or breach of any term, covenant, condition, agreement or obligation of the Seller set forth in this Agreement, or any default or failure to perform by the Seller under this Agreement; and (iii) the failure to originate or service the Mortgage Loans prior to the Transfer Date (including any failure by the Seller or any Originator or Prior Servicer, or any employee, agent or representative acting on their behalf, to originate, sell, pool and service the related Mortgage Loans prior to the Transfer Date) in compliance with Applicable Requirements.

(n) The indemnity provided in this Section 6.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by Purchaser or its representatives. Further, for purposes of indemnification under this Section 6.1, a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to occur or exist either if such representation or warranty is actually inaccurate or breached or if such representation or warranty would have been so breached or inaccurate if such representation or warranty had not contained any limitation or qualification as to materiality, material adverse effect, or material adverse change (it being the intention of the Parties that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true, correct and complete in any respect, determined in each case without regard to materiality, material adverse effect, or material adverse change). Additionally, for purposes of indemnification under this Section 6.1, a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to occur or exist regardless of any exception to such representation or warranty disclosed by the Seller. The Foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan shall not be deemed to cut-off Losses in respect of the related REO Property.

Section 6.2 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans, REO Property and Servicing Rights. Subject to any limitations of the Investor, the Purchaser may require the Seller to accept the reassignment from the Purchaser of the applicable Servicing Rights and/or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property from the Purchaser, or if permitted under Applicable Requirements repurchase the Mortgage Loan or REO Property directly from the Investor, if (a) any Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Loan, or (b) the Investor demands that the Purchaser repurchase a Mortgage Loan or REO Property or remove a Mortgage Loan from a Pool based on a fact or circumstance that pertains to the period prior to the Transfer Date. The Seller shall repurchase the Servicing Rights at a price equal to the Purchase Price Percentage multiplied by

the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or, if such Mortgage Loan has been converted to an REO Property, the outstanding principal balance at the time of foreclosure) and shall reimburse Purchaser for any outstanding Advances related to such Mortgage Loan made in accordance with Applicable Requirements, and shall repurchase the Mortgage Loan or REO Property, if applicable, at a price equal to the amount necessary to repurchase such Mortgage Loan or REO Property from the Investor or remove it from the applicable Pool, including all amounts necessary to satisfy the Investor’s indemnification or make-whole request, as may be the case, and including interest thereon calculated at the Mortgage Interest Rate through the last day of the month of repurchase.

If the Investor demands the repurchase of one or more Mortgage Loan(s) or REO or requires the reassignment of the Servicing Rights, the Party receiving such demand will promptly notify the other Party in writing together with a copy of such demand. If Purchaser receives such a demand from the Investor, Purchaser will notify the Seller and deliver to Seller a copy of the related demand within ten Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of such demand, or such other date as mutually agreed by the Parties. Seller agrees to review the demand and, if Seller disputes the demand, Seller agrees further (i) to provide notice of intent to appeal to Purchaser within ten Business Days, or such other period as mutually agreed by the Parties, and (ii) to deliver to Purchaser a written appeal together with all information required to support such appeal within 35 days after Purchaser notifies Seller of the Investor’s demand, or such other period as mutually agreed by the Parties. Purchaser may reasonably revise and supplement any documentation and written appeal in its reasonable discretion; Seller shall, if requested by Purchaser or at Seller’s reasonable request and permitted by the Investor, participate in discussions with the Investor related to a demand, if any occur. If Seller agrees with the demand, Seller shall deliver a written notice to Purchaser of its agreement with such demand within ten Business Days after Purchaser notifies Seller of the Investor’s demand. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and in a timely fashion regarding any demands and appeals.

Subject to Applicable Requirements, when the Seller is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan or REO Property or accept the reassignment of the Servicing Rights from the Purchaser, and does not seek to appeal such demand as provided in the preceding paragraph, such repurchase or reassignment shall be accomplished by the Seller within 30 days following receipt of written demand from the Purchaser pursuant hereto, or such shorter period as required by the Investor. The Purchaser may, as mutually agreed by the Parties, sub-service such repurchased Mortgage Loan or REO Property for such period of time that will enable the Parties to provide proper transfer notices to be given to the Mortgagor in accordance with Applicable Requirements, but in no event for longer than 30 days, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to all Servicing Fees and Ancillary Fees as consideration for sub-servicing the Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Upon completion of such repurchase by the Seller, the Purchaser shall forward to Seller on the third Business Day following receipt of proceeds as provided in this Section 6.2, all Mortgage Files and Custodial Funds relating to such Mortgage Loans, REO Property and/or Servicing Rights, as applicable, in accordance with Applicable Requirements. Any failure to satisfy the timing deadlines imposed by this Section 6.2 (other than those imposed by the Investor) shall not result in forfeiture of any rights hereunder, but shall result only in a diminution in the amount of recovery otherwise permitted by this Section 6.2 based upon any actual prejudice caused directly by such delay.

Section 6.3 Compensatory Fees. The Seller shall reimburse the Purchaser for any Compensatory Fees with respect to the Mortgage Loans which are asserted by an Investor with respect to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan prior to the Transfer Date; provided, that nothing herein is intended to limit or otherwise impair the right or ability of the Seller to dispute with the applicable Investor any responsibility or liability for such amounts claimed by such Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall be responsible for all Compensatory Fees imposed by an Investor prior to the Transfer Date or relating to Mortgage Loans for which foreclosure has been completed prior to the Transfer Date. The Purchaser shall notify the Seller within ten (10) Business Days of any demand from an Investor for such amounts and permit the Seller to reasonably contest and/or appeal such demands and, if requested by the Seller, the Purchaser shall pay such amounts from funds provided by Seller subject to a written reservation of the Seller’s rights to dispute such amounts. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with all funds relating to the payment of Compensatory Fees that are the responsibility of the Seller pursuant to this Section 6.3 in a timely manner so as to allow the Purchaser to comply with Applicable Requirements regarding the payment of such amounts to the applicable Investor.

Section 6.4 Indemnification of Seller.

(e) The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Seller, its shareholders and Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from, and will reimburse the Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses incurred by any of them to the extent that such Losses result from, are caused by or arise out of any one or more of the following: (i) any breach of a representations or warranty made by the Purchaser in this Agreement, regardless of the existence of actual or constructive knowledge of the Purchaser where such representation or warranty was made subject to the Purchaser’s knowledge; (ii) the nonfulfillment or breach of any term, covenant, condition, agreement or obligation of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, or any default or failure to perform by Purchaser under this Agreement; or (iii) the failure to service the Mortgage Loans after the Transfer Date (including any failure by the Purchaser, any subservicer, or any employee, agent or representative acting on their behalf, to service the related Mortgage Loans after to the Transfer Date) in compliance with Applicable Requirements.

(f) The indemnity provided in this Section 6.4 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by Seller or its representatives. Further, for purposes of indemnification under this Section 6.4, a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to occur or exist either if such representation or warranty is actually inaccurate or breached or if such representation or warranty would have been so breached or inaccurate if such representation or warranty had not contained any limitation or qualification as to materiality, material adverse effect, or material adverse change (it being the intention of the Parties that the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true, correct and complete in any respect, determined in each case without regard to materiality, material adverse effect, or material adverse change.)

Section 6.5 Notice and Settlement of Claims.

(a) Each Party to this Agreement shall notify the other Party in writing of the existence of any material fact known to it giving rise to any obligations of the other Party under Article VI, including any claim brought by a third party or the commencement of any Action which may give rise to any such obligations (each, a “Claim”); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall only submit claims for indemnification for Losses that do not involve a Claim, only upon the earlier of: (i) a monthly basis, or (ii) in aggregate amounts that equal or exceed $[***]. The failure or delay in providing notice shall not relieve a Party obligated to provide indemnification (“Indemnifying Party”) of any obligation to indemnify or reimburse the other Party (“Indemnified Party”) hereunder unless such failure or delay materially prejudices the rights or increases the liability of the Indemnifying Party with respect to the matter as to which such notice relates, and then such Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify or reimburse hereunder shall be reduced only by the amount that it actually has been damaged thereby. The Indemnifying Party may, at its own cost and expenses, assume and control defense of any Claim, including the right to designate counsel and to control, all negotiations, litigation, settlements, compromises and appeals of any such Claim or potential Claim; provided that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser is the Indemnified Party and the Purchaser reasonably believes that the assumption of the defense or prosecution of all or a portion of such Claim by the Purchaser is necessary to assure that its right or ability to enforce a material portion of its other Mortgage Loans or Servicing Rights or to assure that its method of doing business or its authority and approvals to service are not materially impaired, then, upon notice to the Seller from the Purchaser, the Seller shall permit such assumption by Purchaser. The Party not controlling the defense or prosecution of any such Claim may participate at its own costs and expense. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle, compromise, decline to appeal, or otherwise dispose of any Claim, without the written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Following the discharge of the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect to any Claim under this Article VI, the Indemnified Party shall, subject to Applicable Requirements, assign to the Indemnifying Party any and all related Claims against third parties. Within 15 Business Days after receipt, the Indemnified Party shall refund to the Indemnifying Party the amounts of all recoveries received by the Indemnified Party with respect to any claim with respect to which it is reimbursed for Losses. The obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 6.5 shall include Losses for Claims that are settled (with the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent) whether or not such settlement includes any acknowledgment or admission of fault, liability or breach by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Following the receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall (i) seek to cure the problem giving rise to the demand, if possible, and (ii) within 30 days or such lesser time as may be required by the Investor, Insurer or third party claimant, pay the amount for which it is liable or otherwise take the actions which it is required to take. As to any Claim for which notice is given as hereinbefore provided, the corresponding obligation of indemnity shall continue to survive, until whichever of the following events first occurs: (1) the Indemnifying Party shall have discharged its obligation of indemnity to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim, as required hereunder or (2) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have finally determined that the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

[***] Certain information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

1.	Execute or file assignments of mortgages or deeds of trust, or of any beneficial interest in a mortgage or deed of trust;
