(d) The powers conferred on Buyer are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Buyer to exercise any such powers.

(e) In addition to the foregoing, Pledgor agrees to execute a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) in favor of Buyer in the form of Exhibit A hereto to be delivered on the date hereof.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, any appointment set forth in this Section 2.06, as well as Buyer’s exercise (or purported exercise) of any right, power or authority given by Pledgor hereunder, shall be subject to the Xxxxxx Xxx Lender Contract and the Acknowledgment Agreement.

-8-

Section 2.07 Proceeds.

(a) If an Event of Default under the PC Repurchase Agreement shall occur and be continuing, (i) all proceeds of Collateral received by Pledgor consisting of cash, checks and other liquid assets readily convertible to cash items shall be held by Pledgor in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Pledgor be remitted to the Dedicated Account in the exact form received by Pledgor (duly endorsed by Pledgor to Buyer, if required) and (ii) any and all such proceeds received by Buyer (whether from Pledgor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Buyer, be held by Buyer as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by Buyer against, the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as Buyer shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be remitted in accordance with Repurchase Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicer shall be solely responsible for remitting (or cause the remittance) to the Pledgor any amounts owed the Pledgor. In no event shall the Buyer be accountable to the Pledgor for any excess proceeds, which the Pledgor acknowledges, may be remitted by the Buyer in accordance with the Repurchase Documents.

(b) Each of Pledgor and Servicer acknowledges and agrees that all amounts with respect to Sold MSR Excess Spread and related MSRs shall be remitted by Servicer to the Dedicated Account to be applied by Buyer in accordance with the terms of the PC Repurchase Agreement.

Section 2.08 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(a) Buyer may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, any rights otherwise available to it under applicable federal, state, foreign and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including all rights and remedies available to a purchaser/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer may seek the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee, or similar official in respect of any of the Collateral.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required under this Agreement or by law referred to below) to or upon Pledgor or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Buyer or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Buyer shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released.

-9-

(d) Buyer may demand that Pledgor assemble the Collateral and make it available to Buyer at places which Buyer shall reasonably select, whether at Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere.

(e) Buyer shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable (under the circumstances) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Buyer hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Buyer may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Buyer of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Buyer account for the surplus, if any, to the Servicer as agent for the Pledgor.

(f) To the extent that there are any excess proceeds resulting from any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral by Buyer after satisfaction of all Obligations, Buyer shall remit such excess to the Servicer.

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Buyer arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

(h) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Pledgor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Pledgor might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Buyer also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Pledgor might otherwise have to the Obligations, or any guaranty thereof, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Collateral or from any other election of remedies. Pledgor recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(i) Pledgor shall not be liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations, it being understood that the sole recourse of the Buyer to the Pledgor hereunder for the Obligations (other than for Pledgor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be to the Collateral pledged by the Pledgor hereunder.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Repurchase Documents, the remedies set forth in this Section 2.08 shall be subject to the Xxxxxx Xxx Lender Contract and the Acknowledgment Agreement.

(k) No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay by Buyer in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any

-10-

RECOURSE; SUBORDINATION

Section 3.01 Recourse. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained or implied herein or in any other Repurchase Document, Buyer’s recourse against Pledgor in order to satisfy the Obligations shall be limited to the Collateral that is the subject of this Agreement and its recourse as against the Guarantor shall be as more particularly described in the PMH Repo Guaranty; provided, that such limitation shall not extend to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Pledgor.

Section 3.02 Subordination in Connection with Financing.

(a) It is anticipated that in connection with the transactions contemplated by the PC Repurchase Documents that (x) the Pledgor has purchased the Collateral from the Servicer subject to the first priority Lien of the Buyer and (y) Pledgor hereby reaffirms such lien and pledges its interest in such Collateral hereunder to the Buyer. In connection with the foregoing Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Collateral (including its security interest in the Sold MSR Excess Spread and pursuant to the Excess Spread Participation Agreement and any other collateral purchased by Pledgor thereunder and in which a security interest is granted to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.01) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer under the PC Repurchase Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to Pledgor thereunder or under the Excess Spread Participation Agreement, applicable law or otherwise, Pledgor shall not, directly or indirectly, exercise any remedies available to it under the Excess Spread Participation Agreement or at law or equity for ninety-one (91) days following the date that all Obligations are paid in full under the Repurchase Documents; provided, that nothing in the foregoing shall prohibit Pledgor from receiving, payments with respect to the obligations under the Excess Spread Participation Agreement as, and in the manner, contemplated therein, but subject to the prior rights of the Buyer hereunder and under the Repurchase Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance shall the Buyer succeed to any liabilities or obligations of Pledgor under the Excess Spread Participation Agreement.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Pledgor agrees to not assert any objection to, and shall be deemed to have otherwise consented to, a disposition of any assets subject to the Excess Spread Participation Agreement and subject to the Repurchase Documents during an Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar bankruptcy law) if Buyer has consented to such disposition.

-12-

(c) If an Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer occurs, the Pledgor agrees not to contest (or support any other Person contesting) any request by Buyer for adequate protection, or any objection by Buyer to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on Buyer claiming a lack of adequate protection.

(d) Until the obligations under the Repurchase Documents are paid in full, the Pledgor shall not oppose any request by Buyer for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer.

(e) Pledgor shall not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by Buyer for allowance and payment in any Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, of obligations under the Repurchase Documents consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs or other charges to the extent of the value of Buyer’s lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims on the assets that are the subject of this Agreement or the PC Repurchase Agreement, without regard to the existence of a lien, encumbrance, pledge or other claims of Pledgor applicable to the obligations of the other parties to the Repurchase Documents.

(f) Pledgor shall not seek in any Act of Insolvency of Pledgor or the Servicer, to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as Buyer and shall not oppose any pleading or motion by Buyer advocating that Buyer and Pledgor and the Servicer should be treated as separate classes of creditors. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Collateral are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer under the PC Repurchase Agreement and under this Agreement.

Section 3.03 Rights under PMH Repurchase Agreement.

(a) Pledgor acknowledges and agrees notwithstanding any right to repurchase the Sold MSR Excess Spread PC from PMC granted pursuant to the PMH Repurchase Agreement, that Pledgor may not exercise such repurchase right as long as the Sold MSR Excess Spread PC is registered in the name of the Buyer or otherwise subject to the PC Repurchase Agreement.

(b) In the event that PMC repurchases the Sold MSR Excess Spread PC from Buyer, Pledgor may repurchase the Sold MSR Excess Spread PC from PMC pursuant to the PMH Repurchase Agreement; however, until the Obligations have been paid in full and the PC Repurchase Agreement terminated, the rights of Pledgor in the related Sold MSR Excess Spread shall be subordinate to the rights of the Buyer in the related MSRs and accordingly, Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that its rights to the Sold MSR Excess Spread may be completely eliminated upon the exercise of remedies by Buyer under the PC Repurchase Agreement or the exercise of remedies by the Indenture Trustee under the Acknowledgment Agreement or the Indenture, and Pledgor shall have no rights, remedies or recourse against the Buyer for such actions.

Section 9.06 Severability. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, or any other Repurchase Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 9.07 Section Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.09 Hypothecation or Pledge of Collateral. Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Collateral and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with all or a portion of the Collateral or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating all or a portion of the Collateral, so long as such pledge, re-pledge, transfer, hypothecation or re-hypothecation is not in violation of the Acknowledgment Agreement.

Section 9.10 Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment. (a) This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and Pledgor and shall be held by each party hereto, as applicable in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer or Pledgor, except for (i) disclosure to Buyer’s, Pledgor’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court, other regulatory body or in connection with enforcement of rights and remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Repurchase Documents, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transaction, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transaction, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Pledgor may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transaction and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transaction, without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Pledgor shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Collateral and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Pledgor understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act (the “Act”), and Pledgor agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.

Pledgor represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect. Upon request, Pledgor will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this section. Without limitation, this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Pledgor. Pledgor shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security,

Section 9.11 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Pledgor, any such notice being expressly waived by Pledgor to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Pledgor or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return funds to Pledgor), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Pledgor or any Affiliate thereof. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Pledgor after any such set off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

Section 9.12 Actions and Discretion of Buyer. Any provision providing for the exercise of any action or discretion by Buyer shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee at the written direction of either 100% of the VFN Noteholders or the Majority Noteholders of all Outstanding Notes (as such terms are defined in the Indenture). In addition and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any approvals, consents, votes or other rights exercisable by Buyer under this Agreement shall be exercised by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders (as defined in the Indenture).

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Pledgor, without assent by, but with notice to, Pledgor, if permitted under the terms of the Agreement, to do the following:

(i) in the name of Pledgor or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to (i) all Sold MSR Excess Spread arising under or related to the Servicing Contract; (ii) all rights to payment of amounts due under the Excess Spread Participation Agreement on account of, or related to, the Sold MSR Excess Spread; (iii) all Assets arising under or relating to the Excess Spread Participation Agreement and all rights thereunder; (iv) all rights to reimbursement of Assets and/or amounts due in respect thereof under the related Servicing Contract; (v) the Dedicated Account; (vi) all records, instruments or other documentation evidencing any of the foregoing; (vii) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “securities accounts”, “investment property”, “deposit accounts” and “money” as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing (including all of Pledgor’s rights, title and interest in and under the Sold MSR Excess Spread and Servicing Contract); and (viii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (any and all property listed in clauses (i) through (viii), collectively, the “Collateral”) and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(iii) to the extent permitted under the Excess Spread Participation Agreement, and under the Servicing Contract and Acknowledgement Agreement to request that MSRs in respect of Mortgage Loans owned by any other investor or guarantor be transferred to Buyer or to another servicer approved by Xxxxxx Xxx or such other investor or guarantor (as the case may be) and perform (without assuming or being deemed to have assumed any of the obligations of Servicer thereunder) all aspects of the Servicing Contract for which the Sold MSR Excess Spread is Collateral;

Exhibit A-1

(iv) to request distribution to Buyer of sale proceeds or any applicable contract termination fees arising from the sale or termination of such MSRs to the extent of the Sold MSR Excess Spread and remaining after satisfaction of Servicer’s relevant obligations to Xxxxxx Mae or such other investor (as the case may be), including costs and expenses related to any such sale or transfer of such MSRs and other amounts due for unmet obligations of Servicer to Xxxxxx Xxx or such other investor (as the case may be) under applicable Xxxxxx Mae Lender Contracts or such other investor’s or guarantor’s contract;

(vi) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Pledgor with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Pledgor’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of the Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Pledgor might do.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full and the Agreement is terminated.

Pledgor also authorizes Buyer, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in the Agreement, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Agreement.

TO INDUCE ANY THIRD PARTY TO ACT HEREUNDER, PLEDGOR HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY THIRD PARTY RECEIVING A DULY EXECUTED COPY OR FACSIMILE OF THIS INSTRUMENT MAY ACT HEREUNDER, AND THAT REVOCATION OR TERMINATION HEREOF SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE AS TO SUCH THIRD PARTY UNLESS AND UNTIL ACTUAL NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH REVOCATION OR TERMINATION SHALL HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY SUCH THIRD PARTY, AND BUYER ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF BUYER’S ASSIGNS, HEREBY AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AGAINST SUCH THIRD PARTY BY REASON OF SUCH THIRD PARTY HAVING RELIED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT.
