It is the intention of the parties that each Confirmation shall not be separate from this Repurchase

-24-

Agreement but shall be made a part hereof. In the event of any conflict between this Repurchase Agreement and a Confirmation, the terms of this Repurchase Agreement shall control with respect to the related Transaction. A Confirmation, and any terms and conditions therein, shall be applicable solely with respect to the related Transaction and shall not constitute a course of dealing between the Seller and the Buyer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any purchase of a Jumbo Mortgage Loan hereunder shall be made on an uncommitted basis and the Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to any Jumbo Mortgage Loans, which Transactions shall be entered into in the sole discretion of Buyer

2.02 Transaction Request Procedure (Transactions other than Wet-Ink Transactions).

(a) The Seller may request a Transaction hereunder that is not a Wet-Ink Transaction, on any Business Day during the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Termination Date by delivering to the Agent, with a copy to the Custodian, a Transaction Request, which Transaction Request must be received by the Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date.

The Seller acknowledges that Mortgage Loans listed in any Exception Report are not Eligible Mortgage Loans and the Buyer is not obligated to enter into any Transaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan listed in any Exception Report.

(e) Subject to Section 5 hereof and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Transaction will then be entered into by the Buyer, transferring, via wire transfer, to the account specified by Seller on a Transaction Request, an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for such Transaction in funds immediately available to the Seller.

2.03 Transaction Request Procedure (Wet-Ink Transactions).

(a) Seller may request a Wet-Ink Transaction hereunder, on any Business Day during the period from and including the Effective Date to and excluding the Termination Date, by delivering to the Agent, an estimate of the amount required to fund Wet-Ink Transactions the following Business Day, which estimate must be received by the Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date.

(b) On the requested Purchase Date for a Wet-Ink Transaction, the Seller may deliver to the Agent with a copy to the Custodian, no more than four (4) transmissions (provided that Agent will use reasonable efforts to accommodate five (5) transmissions), which transmissions shall (i) attach a Transaction Request, (ii) attach a schedule identifying the Eligible Mortgage Loans that the Seller proposes to sell to the Buyer hereunder in connection with such Transaction, (iii) specify the requested Purchase Price and (iv) be accompanied by a Mortgage Loan Data File from the Custodian, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, in respect of all Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans sold to the Buyer on such Purchase Date. The latest transmission must be received by the Agent no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time, on such Purchase Date. Such Transaction Request shall specify the requested Purchase Date.

(c) The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) and release to the Custodian the Mortgage File pertaining to such Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan on the next Business Day following receipt of such Mortgage File by the Seller, but in any event no later than seven (7) Business Days following the applicable Purchase Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement. On the applicable Purchase Date and on each Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to the Agent a schedule listing each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan with respect to which the complete Mortgage File has not been received by the Custodian (the “Wet-Aged Report”). The Agent may confirm that the information in the Wet-Aged Report is consistent with the information provided to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(b).

(d) Upon the Seller’s request for a Transaction pursuant to Section 2.03(a), the Buyer may, upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 hereof, and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, enter into a Transaction with the Seller on the requested Purchase Date, in the amount so requested.

-26-

(e) Subject to Section 5 hereof, such Purchase Price will then be made available by the Custodian transferring at the direction of the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer), via wire transfer, the amount of such Purchase Price from the account of the Buyer maintained with the Custodian to the account of the designated Closing Agent pursuant to disbursement instructions provided by the Seller on the electronic system maintained by the Custodian; provided, however, that (i) the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) has been provided such disbursement instructions and shall not have rejected, in its sole discretion, any wiring location, (ii) the Custodian shall not, in any event, (A) transfer funds to the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or (B) transfer funds in excess of the original principal balance of the related Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan. Upon notice from the Closing Agent to the Seller that the related Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan was not originated, the Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans and the Closing Agent shall immediately return the funds via wire transfer to the account of the Buyer maintained with the Custodian. The Seller shall notify the Agent if a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan was not originated and has been removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans.

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

(a) the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining Price Differential for Transactions as provided herein; or

(b) the Buyer determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that the relevant rate referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the Price Differential for Transactions is to be determined is not likely adequately to cover the cost to the Buyer of entering into or maintaining Transactions; or

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

then the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) shall give the Seller prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Buyer shall not be under any obligation to enter into any additional Transactions and the Seller shall pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding.

2.05 Payment of Repurchase Price, Price Differential.

(a) The Seller hereby promises to pay in full on the Termination Date the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding. In addition, the Seller shall repurchase the related Purchased Loans from Buyer on each related Repurchase Date. Each obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Loan. The Seller is obligated to obtain the related

-27-

Purchased Loans from the Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Seller’s expense on (or after) the related Repurchase Date. Provided that the applicable conditions in Section 5 have been satisfied and provided further no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless the Agent is notified to the contrary not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to any such Repurchase Date, on each related Repurchase Date each Purchased Loan shall automatically become subject to a new Transaction. In such event, the related Repurchase Date on which such Transaction becomes subject to a new Transaction shall become the “Purchase Date” for such Transaction. Seller shall deliver a written Transaction Request to Agent requesting that the Purchased Loans become subject to such new Transaction prior to such Purchase Date. For each new Transaction, unless otherwise agreed, (y) the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Repurchase Date, and (z) the Pricing Rate shall be as set forth in the Pricing Side Letter. The term of any Transaction shall not exceed one month.

(b) The Seller hereby promises to pay to the Buyer, Price Differential on the unpaid Purchase Price (and any unpaid fees, expenses and indemnity claims) of each Transaction for the period from and including the Purchase Date of such Transaction to but excluding the Termination Date of such Transaction, at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate; provided, that in no event shall such rate per annum exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby promises to pay to the Buyer, interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any Repurchase Price and on any other amount payable by the Seller hereunder that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory prepayment or otherwise) for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Accrued Price Differential on each Transaction shall be payable monthly on the Repurchase Date each month and for the last month of the Repurchase Agreement on the Repurchase Date of such last month and on the Termination Date; provided, that the Buyer may, in its sole discretion, require accrued Price Differential to be paid simultaneously with any prepayment of Repurchase Price that is made by the Seller on a day other than the Termination Date. Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall accrue daily and shall be payable upon such accrual. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) shall give notice thereof to the Seller.

(c) It is understood and agreed that, unless and until a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller shall be entitled to the proceeds of the Purchased Loans subject to Transactions outstanding hereunder subject to the terms and provisions of this Repurchase Agreement. Seller shall deposit all Income or other proceeds received with respect to each Purchased Loan after the related Purchase Date into the Blocked Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt. Unless and until a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller may withdraw amounts from the Blocked Account on each Repurchase Date so long as all amounts then due and payable to Buyer have been paid in full.

(d) With respect to each Purchased Loan subject to a Takeout Commitment, the Seller shall instruct the related Takeout Investor to remit directly to the Buyer no later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day all Takeout Proceeds in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan. Simultaneously, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer

-28-

via facsimile or electronic mail a purchase advice (the “Purchase Advice”) and shall indicate on such Purchase Advice the Mortgage Loan identification number which identified the applicable Eligible Mortgage Loan when it was purchased by the Buyer hereunder. A portion of the Takeout Proceeds in an amount equal to the Recognized Value of such Purchased Loan shall be applied to the Repurchase Price of the outstanding Transactions. Upon receipt by the Buyer of payment of the Repurchase Price in respect of such Purchased Loan, the Buyer shall release and remit to the Seller the amount of any Takeout Proceeds in excess of the Recognized Value of such Purchased Loans (the “Remittance Amount”); provided, that, both immediately before and after giving effect to such release and remittance, (i) there is no Default or Event of Default under this Repurchase Agreement or any other Repurchase Document and (ii) there is no Margin Deficiency. To the extent that a Margin Deficiency exists or would be created by the release of the Remittance Amount or a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Buyer shall be entitled to retain the Remittance Amount, and the Seller thereupon shall have no further rights, title, or interest in and to such Remittance Amount. In the event that the Purchase Advice indicates that some of the proceeds forwarded to the Buyer do not belong to the Buyer or the Seller (such amount, the “Excess Proceeds”), then (i) the Seller shall provide the Buyer with a Takeout Proceeds Identification Letter, and (ii) upon confirmation by the Buyer that the information set forth in the Purchase Advice matches the information that the Buyer has in its possession with respect to the Purchased Loans, the Buyer shall promptly remit by wire transfer the Excess Proceeds in accordance with the Seller’s instructions. If funds are received before 3:00 p.m., New York City time on a Business Day, but either (A) no Purchase Advice is received or (B) such funds are not properly identified on the related Purchase Advice (a “Purchase Advice Deficiency”), then such funds shall be retained by the Buyer, and the Transactions made in respect of the related Purchased Loans shall continue to accrue Price Differential under this Repurchase Agreement, until such Purchase Advice Deficiency is remedied, and the Mortgage Loan subject to such Purchase Advice shall not be released until such Purchase Advice Deficiency is remedied. In no event shall such Purchase Advice be back-dated to the date of its issuance. The Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller or any other Person to the extent that the Buyer follows instructions given to it by the Seller in a Takeout Proceeds Identification Letter.

(e) The Buyer may, in its sole discretion, at any time, terminate any Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount by providing written notice to the Seller. Not later than the earlier of five (5) Business Days following receipt of such notice or the next Purchase Date, the Seller agrees to repurchase all such Mortgage Loans at the Repurchase Price and to satisfy all of its Repurchase Obligations with respect to such Mortgage Loans.

2.06 Margin Maintenance.

(a) If at any time the aggregate Purchase Price of all Transactions then outstanding hereunder exceeds the aggregate Recognized Value of all Purchased Loans subject to such Transactions by more than $[***] (a “Margin Deficiency”), as determined in good faith by the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) and notified to the Seller on any Business Day, the Seller shall no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, either make a payment to the Buyer, in respect of the aggregate Purchase Price or transfer to the Buyer additional Eligible Mortgage Loans that are in all respects acceptable to the Buyer in good faith (which additional Eligible Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to be Purchased Loans under the Repurchase Documents) such that after giving effect to such payment or transfer no Margin Deficiency shall then exist.

-29-

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

Section 3. Payments; Computations; Commitment Fee, Non-Utilization Fee, Etc..

3.01 Payments.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of Repurchase Price, including Price Differential, and other amounts to be paid by the Seller under this Repurchase Agreement, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Buyer, at the following account maintained by the Buyer: Account No. [***], Citibank, N.A., ABA No. [***], Attn: Whole Loans, Ref: Caliber Home Loans, Inc., not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). The Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

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

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

3.03 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the introduction or adoption of or any change (other than any change by way of the imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the LIBOR Rate Reserve Percentage) in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to the Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Repurchase Agreement or any Transaction entered into by it (excluding taxes on the Buyer’s or the Agent’s, as applicable, net income or franchise taxes) or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Buyer or Agent, as applicable, in respect thereof;

-30-

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable to any Transaction any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans, Transactions or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder;

(iii) shall impose on the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be), by an amount which the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) deem to be material, of making, participating in, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Seller shall promptly pay the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law applicable to the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be)(other than with respect to any amendment made to the Buyer’s or the Agent’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) or any corporation controlling the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Buyer’s or the Agent’s, as applicable, or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its actions hereunder to a level below that which the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Buyer’s or the Agent’s, as applicable, or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) to be material, then from time to time, the Seller shall promptly pay to the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) for such reduction.

(c) If the Buyer and the Agent (or the Buyer or the Agent, as the case may be) become entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by the Buyer or the Agent, as applicable, to the Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

3.04 Commitment Fee.

-31-

The Seller agrees to pay to the Buyer a commitment fee equal to the product of (a) the Commitment Fee Percentage and (b) the Committed Amount (the “Commitment Fee”), such payment to be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to the Buyer as provided in the Pricing Side Letter.

(a) Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall hold the Mortgage Loan Documents as exclusive bailee and agent for the benefit of the Buyer pursuant to terms of the Custodial Agreement and shall deliver to the Buyer the Master Trust Receipts each to the effect that it has reviewed such Mortgage Loan Documents in the manner and to the extent required by the Custodial Agreement and identifying any deficiencies in such Mortgage Loan Documents as so reviewed.

(b) All of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Items:”

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

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

(iii) all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Servicing Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File, all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Mortgage File;

(v) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Loan or the related Mortgaged Property;

(vi) all purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts (and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto) or any related Takeout Commitments now existing or hereafter arising, covering any part of the foregoing Purchased Items, all rights to deliver such Mortgage Loans to Takeout Investors or to permanent investors and other purchasers pursuant thereto and all proceeds resulting from the disposition of such Purchased Items pursuant thereto, including the Seller’s right and entitlement to receive the entire Takeout Price specified in each Takeout Commitment;

(vii) all Interest Rate Protection Agreements, relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing;

(viii) the Blocked Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Blocked Accounts;

(x) all “accounts,” “chattel paper,” “commercial tort claims,” “deposit accounts,” “documents,” “equipment,” “general intangibles,” “goods,” “instruments,” “inventory,” “investment property,” “letter of credit rights,” and “securities’ accounts” as each of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code and all cash and Cash Equivalents and all products and proceeds relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing; and

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

(c) The Seller and the Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to the Buyer of the Purchased Items (including, without limitation, the related Servicing Rights) and not loans from the Buyer to the Seller secured by the Purchased Items. However, in order to preserve the Buyer’s rights under this Repurchase Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans, and as security for the performance by the Seller of all of the Seller’s obligations to the Buyer under the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, the Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Items to the Buyer, to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions and all other amounts owing to the Buyer hereunder and under the other

Repurchase Documents (collectively, and together with the pledge of Servicing Rights in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder. The Seller agrees to xxxx its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to the Buyer hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Seller that the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Buyer in any Purchased Loan shall not be released or otherwise affected due to the fact that any Purchased Loan is not an Eligible Mortgage Loan or that the Recognized Value thereof is zero dollars or is reduced, including if it is reduced to zero dollars, at any time.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer), and at the sole expense of the Seller, the Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Repurchase Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens created hereby. The Seller also hereby authorizes the Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of the Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law. A photographic or other reproduction of this Repurchase Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction.

4.03 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. The Seller shall not (i) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business or mailing address from that specified in Section 6 hereof, (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Purchased Items or (iii) reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given the Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to the Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as the Buyer shall reasonably request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by the Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority. The Seller’s organizational identification number is [***]; the Seller’s federal tax identification number is 00-0000000. The Seller shall promptly notify the Buyer of any change in such organizational or federal tax identification number.

4.04 The Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) The Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the 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 the Seller and in the name of the Seller or in its own name, from time to time in the Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Repurchase 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 this Repurchase Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller hereby gives the Buyer the power and right, on behalf of the Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, the Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

-34-

(i) in the name of the Seller 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 under any mortgage insurance or payable on or on account of any other Purchased Items 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 the Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any such mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Purchased Items whenever payable;

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

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Buyer or as the Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, to send “goodbye” letters and Section 404 notices on behalf of the Seller and any applicable Servicer; (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 Purchased Items; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Purchased Items; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Items or any portion thereof or proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Items; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Seller with respect to any Purchased Items; (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 the 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 Purchased Items as fully and completely as though the Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Buyer’s option and the Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which the Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Items and the Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Repurchase Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Seller might do.

The Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. This power of attorney shall not revoke any prior powers of attorney granted by the Seller.

(b) The Seller also authorizes the Buyer, at any time and from time to time, (i) to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items and (ii) to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements with or without the signature of the Seller as authorized by applicable law, as applicable to all or any part of the Purchased Items.

-35-

(c) The powers conferred on the Buyer are solely to protect the interests of the Buyer in the Purchased Items and shall not impose any duty upon the Buyer to exercise any such powers. The Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Buyer nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.05 Performance by The Buyer of The Seller’s Repurchase Obligations. If the Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Repurchase Documents and the Buyer itself performs or complies, or otherwise causes performance or compliance, with such agreement, the out-of-pocket expenses of the Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by the Seller to the Buyer upon five (5) days notice that such amounts are due and payable, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, in which case such amounts shall be due and payable on demand and, in either case, shall constitute Repurchase Obligations.

4.06 Proceeds. If a Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all Income and other proceeds of Purchased Items received by the Seller consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by the Seller in trust for the Buyer, segregated from other funds of the Seller, and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Seller be turned over to the Buyer in the exact form received by the Seller (duly endorsed by the Seller to the Buyer, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by the Buyer (whether from the Seller or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Buyer, be held by the Buyer as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Buyer against, the Repurchase Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in such order as the Buyer shall elect. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Repurchase Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Repurchase Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to the Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims, condemnation awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income and all other amounts received with respect to the Purchased Items.

4.07 Remedies. If a Default shall occur and be continuing, the Buyer may, at its option, enter into one or more interest rate protection agreements or other hedging arrangements covering all or a portion of the Purchased Loans purchased by the Buyer hereunder, and the Seller shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Buyer relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements, including without limitation any net losses (after giving effect to any gain in the sale of the related Mortgage Loans) resulting from such Interest Rate Protection Agreements. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Buyer may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Repurchase Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Repurchase Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Seller or any other Person (each and all of

-36-

which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Purchased Items, or any part thereof, and/or may, in a commercially reasonable manner, forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Purchased Items 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 the 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. The 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 Purchased Items so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Seller further agrees, at the Buyer’s request, to assemble the Purchased Items and make them available to the Buyer at places which the Buyer shall reasonably select, whether at the Seller’s premises or elsewhere. The Buyer shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all costs and expenses incurred therein or for the care or safekeeping of any of the Purchased Items or in any way relating to the Purchased Items or the rights of the Buyer hereunder, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Repurchase Obligations, in such order as the Buyer may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Buyer of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Sections 9-608(a) and 9-615(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code, need the Buyer account for the surplus, if any, to the Seller. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller waives all claims, damages and demands the Seller may acquire against the Buyer arising out of the exercise by the Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Purchased Items shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. The Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Purchased Items are insufficient to pay the Repurchase Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Buyer to collect such deficiency.

4.08 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Purchased Items. The Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Purchased Items in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Buyer nor any of its respective directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Purchased Items or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of the Seller or otherwise.

4.09 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Purchased Items are irrevocable and are powers coupled with an interest.

4.10 Release of Security Interest. Upon termination of this Repurchase Agreement and payment to the Buyer of all Repurchase Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Transactions and the Repurchase Documents the Buyer shall reconvey all Purchased Items to the Seller and release its security interest in any remaining Purchased Items.

-37-

4.11 Cash Reporting. The Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Buyer on a monthly basis, or at more frequent intervals as requested by the Buyer, a report of all cash and other collections activity with respect to each Purchased Loan and the amount of the Loan Loss Reserves maintained by the Seller. Such report shall be delivered to Buyer not later than 1 p.m. on the Business Day following the date of such receipt of cash or other collection activity.

4.12 Taxes; Tax Treatment.

(a) All payments made by the Seller under this Repurchase 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 income taxes, 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 the Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by the Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If the Seller is required by law or regulation 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 when due; (c) deliver to the Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to the Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to the Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the Buyer receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Repurchase Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made. In addition, the Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Repurchase Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.12, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that the Buyer shall have provided the Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 4.12 shall survive the termination of this Repurchase Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 4.12 shall require the Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

-38-

(e) Each party to this Repurchase Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of the Seller that is secured by the Purchased Loans and that the Purchased Loans are owned by the Seller in the absence of an Event of Default. All parties to this Repurchase Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

as a Xxxxxx Mae eligible Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms of this Repurchase Agreement, the Seller shall be approved by Xxxxxx Xxx as an approved lender and the Seller and each Servicer shall be approved by Xxxxxx Mae as an approved seller and servicer, in each case is in good standing (such collective approvals and conditions, “Agency Approvals”), with no event having occurred or the Seller having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur (including, without limitation, a change in insurance coverage) which would either make the Seller (or any Servicer) unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable Agency Approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency. The Seller (and any Servicer) 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 Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

Schedule 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS

Part I. Eligible Mortgage Loans

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

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

(b) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note.

(c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Mortgage Loan, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither the Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which the Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.

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

Schedule 1-1

reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required, and, with respect to the FHA, RHS and VA Loans, has been approved by the FHA, to the extent required by the FHA Insurance Contract, the RHS to the extent required of the Rural Housing Service Guaranty or the VA, to the extent of the VA Guaranty Agreement, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy and with respect to any FHA Loan, the FHA to the extent required by the FHA Insurance Contract or FHA Regulations, or with respect to any VA Loan, the VA to the extent of the VA Guaranty Agreement, or with respect to any RHS Loan, the RHS to the extent of the Rural Housing Service Guaranty, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. The Seller has no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by the Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1974. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns (including without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by the Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related

Schedule 1-2

Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. The Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by the Seller.

(g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, laws with respect to unfair and deceptive lending practices and Predatory Lending Practices truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and the Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of the Buyer, and shall deliver to the Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. The Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State as identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single or contiguous parcel of real property with a dwelling which, (a) in the case of an Agency Mortgage Loan, is acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and is acceptable to the related Agency pursuant to the applicable Agency Guide and, (b) in the case of a Jumbo Mortgage Loan is acceptable under the Underwriting Guidelines and the underwriting guidelines of the applicable Takeout Investor, if any. No residence or dwelling is a mobile home. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a manufactured dwelling, (i) such manufactured dwelling is considered or classified as part of the real estate under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located and (ii) such manufactured dwelling meets the requirements of the applicable Agency. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes.

(j) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all

Schedule 1-3

buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

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

(2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and to any applicable Agency, and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the applicable Agency or Custodian, and originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and

(3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property, and which will not in any way prevent realization of the full benefits of any FHA Insurance Contract, VA Guaranty Agreement or Rural Housing Service Guaranty.

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 pledge and assign the same to the Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.

(k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

(l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan (unless it is a [***]) has been closed and, except with respect to any

Schedule 1-4

holdback that is permitted under the applicable Agency Guide, the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(m) Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Mortgage Loan to the Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement and following the pledge of each Mortgage Loan, the Buyer will hold such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Repurchase Agreement.

(n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as Mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located and all applicable Agency Guides, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state.

(o) LTV. No Mortgage Loan has an LTV greater than (a) in the case of a Jumbo Mortgage Loan, [***], and (b) in the case of an Agency Mortgage Loan, the applicable percentage permitted by Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx Mac, Rural Housing Service, FHA or VA. Each Mortgage Loan which is required to be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy pursuant to the Agency Guide of the applicable Agency is and will be subject to such a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as required by such Agency. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Except to the extent acceptable to the related Agency, no Mortgage Loan is subject to a Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith; provided, that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy, the related Servicer is obligated thereunder to maintain the Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith.. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE SELLER

(date)

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Bank, N.A.

0000 Xxxxxxxx

Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000

Dear Sirs and Mesdames:

You have requested [our] [my] opinion, as counsel to Caliber Home Loans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), with respect to certain matters in connection with that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated May 31, 2013 (the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and among the Seller, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Capital Holdings LLC (the “Agent”) and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Bank, N.A. (the “Buyer”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Repurchase Agreement.

[We] [I] have examined the following documents:

1. the Repurchase Agreement; and

2. such other documents, records and papers as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for this opinion.

To the extent [we] [I] have deemed necessary and proper, [we] [I] have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Repurchase Agreement. [We] [I] have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to [us][me] as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to [us][me] as originals.

Based upon the foregoing, it is [our] [my] opinion that:

1. The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and is qualified to transact business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of the Delaware.

2. The Seller has the corporate power to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement, and all requisite corporate power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Repurchase Agreement, and observe the terms and conditions of such instruments. The Seller has all requisite corporate power to borrow under the Repurchase Agreement and to grant a security interest in the Purchased Items under the Repurchase Agreement.

B-1

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of the Repurchase Agreement, and the Transactions by the Seller and the selling of the Purchased Items under the Repurchase Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller. The Repurchase Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Seller and are legal, valid and binding agreements enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against the Seller, subject to bankruptcy laws and other similar laws of general application affecting rights of creditors and subject to the application of the rules of equity, including those respecting the availability of specific performance, none of which will materially interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with the Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Items.

4. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or regulatory body is required on the part of the Seller for the execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of the Repurchase Agreement, or for the Transactions entered into by the Seller under the Repurchase Agreement or the granting of a security interest to the Buyer in the Purchased Items, under the Repurchase Agreement.

5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the Seller’s charter or by-laws, (b) violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitral award applicable to the Seller of which I have knowledge (after due inquiry) or (d) result in a breach of, constitute a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument of which [we][I] have knowledge (after due inquiry) to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, or (except for the Liens created pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any Property of the Seller pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument.

6. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best of [our] [my] knowledge (after due inquiry), threatened against the Seller which, in [our] [my] judgment, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in the properties, business, financial condition of the Seller or in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Seller to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or in any material liability on the part of the Seller or which would draw into question the validity of the Repurchase Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, or which would be reasonably likely to impair materially the ability of the Seller to perform under the terms of the Repurchase Agreement or the Mortgage Loans.

7. The Seller is not an “investment company,” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Very truly yours,

B-2

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the collection account established by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, at                         ,                     ,             , Account No.                 , ABA#                      (the “Blocked Account”), which the Servicer maintains in the Servicer’s name in trust for the Seller.

The Servicer will, from time to time, deposit funds received in accordance with the Servicing Agreement into the Blocked Account. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Bank, N.A. (the “Buyer”) has established a master repurchase arrangement with the Seller. By its execution of this letter, the Servicer acknowledges that the Seller has granted a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Blocked Account and any funds from time to time on deposit therein, that such funds are received by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Buyer and, except as provided below, are for application against the Seller’s liabilities to the Buyer.

By the Servicer’s execution of this letter, it agrees: (a) that all funds from time to time hereafter in the Blocked Account are the property of the Seller held in trust for the benefit of the Buyer and that unless and until the Servicer receives notice from the Buyer (or Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (the “Agent”) on behalf of the Buyer) that an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Buyer’s secured lending arrangement with the Seller (a “Notice of Event of Default”), the Servicer shall transfer funds from the Blocked Account in accordance with the Seller’s instructions; (b) that Servicer will not exercise any right of set-off, banker’s lien or any similar right in connection with such funds provided, that in the event any check is returned to the Servicer because of insufficient funds (or is otherwise unpaid) the Servicer shall be entitled to set off the amount of any such returned check; (c) that until the Servicer receives written notification from the Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer) to the contrary, the Servicer will not withdraw (other than as expressly set forth in the Servicing Agreement or herein) or permit any person or entity to withdraw or transfer funds from the Blocked Account; and (d) that if the Servicer receives a Notice of Event of Default from the

F-1

Buyer (or the Agent on behalf of the Buyer), the Servicer shall comply with the Buyer’s or the Agent’s instructions regarding funds in the Blocked Account without further consent of the Seller.

The Servicer hereby confirms and agrees that: (i) there are no other agreements entered into between the Servicer and the Seller with respect to the Blocked Account; (ii) it has not entered into, and until the termination of this agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Blocked Account pursuant to which it has agreed, or will agree, to comply with instructions of such other person; and (iii) it has not entered into, and until the termination of this agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Seller purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Servicer to comply with the Buyer’s instructions set forth above.

Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement between the Buyer and the Seller, the Servicer is hereby notified that the Seller has granted a security interest to the Buyer in certain mortgage loans which are serviced by Servicer.

Upon receipt of a Notice of Event of Default from the Buyer in which the Buyer shall identify the mortgage loans which are then sold to the Buyer under the Repurchase Agreement (the “Purchased Loans”), the Servicer shall segregate all amounts collected on account of such Purchased Loans, hold them in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Buyer, and remit such collections in accordance with the Buyer’s written instructions. Following such Notice of Event of Default, the Servicer shall follow the instructions of the Buyer with respect to the Purchased Loans, and shall deliver to the Buyer any information with respect to the Pledged Mortgage Loans reasonably requested by the Buyer.

If the Servicer is the Seller or the Servicer is an Affiliate of the Seller, the Seller shall provide to the Buyer a letter from the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Buyer (or the Agent, on behalf of the Buyer), may terminate any Servicing Agreement and in any event transfer servicing to the Buyer’s designee, at no cost or expense to the Buyer, it being agreed that the Seller will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of the Buyer.

Notwithstanding any contrary information or direction which may be delivered to the Servicer by the Seller, the Servicer may conclusively rely on any information, direction or notice of an Event of Default delivered by the Buyer (or the Agent, on behalf of the Buyer), and the Seller shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against the Servicer for any actions taken in good faith by the Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information or Notice of Event of Default.
