SECTION 1.Assignment and Assumption of VFN Repurchase Documents and other Program Agreements.

(a)The Assigning Buyer hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, grants, conveys and transfers to the Assignee Buyer all of Assigning Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to (i) the VFN Repurchase Documents (including all Obligations held by the Assigning Buyer thereunder), (ii) the other Program Agreements (including all Obligations held by the Assigning Buyer thereunder), (iii) the Purchased Assets (including any ownership interest therein (subject to the VFN Repurchase Documents) and/or security interest therein and (iv) the Repurchase Assets (including any security interest therein). As of the Effective Date, the Assignee Buyer unconditionally accepts such assignment and assumes all of Assigning Buyer’s duties, liabilities, indemnities and obligations under each VFN Repurchase Document and each other Program Agreement arising on or after the Effective Date, and agrees to pay, perform and discharge, as and when due, all of the duties, liabilities, indemnities and obligations of Assigning Buyer under the VFN Repurchase Documents and other Program Agreements arising on or after the Effective Date. The Assigning Buyer represents and warrants to the Assignee Buyer and the Assignee Administrative Agent that it is transferring the Purchased Assets to the Assignee Buyer, free and clear of all liens and adverse claims, in each case, created by it or by the Assigning Administrative Agent, except as previously disclosed in writing.

(b)The Assignee Buyer shall be substituted for the Assigning Buyer in the VFN Repurchase Documents and each other Program Agreement and shall acquire all the rights and become obligated to perform all the duties, liabilities, indemnities and obligations of the Assigning Buyer that are hereby fully assigned and delegated to the Assignee Buyer.

(c)The Assigning Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably sells, assigns, grants, conveys and transfers to the Assignee Administrative Agent all of Assigning Administrative Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the VFN Repurchase Documents and each other Program Agreement (including all Obligations held by the Assigning Administrative Agent).

(d)The Assignee Administrative Agent shall be substituted for the Assigning Administrative Agent in the VFN Repurchase Documents and the other Program Agreements (subject to any consent of any Persons who are not parties hereto) and shall acquire all the rights and become obligated to perform all the duties, liabilities, indemnities and obligations of the Assigning Administrative Agent that are hereby fully assigned to the Assignee Administrative Agent.

(e)For the avoidance of doubt, the existing Transactions shall be continuing Transactions and shall not be considered terminated in any respect. The Seller hereby consents that as of the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee Administrative Agent shall serve as Administrative Agent under the VFN Repurchase Documents and the other Program Agreements and shall have the rights and obligations as the Administrative Agent thereunder and shall be bound by the

provisions thereof, and (ii) the Assignee Buyer shall be the Buyer under the VFN Repurchase Documents and the other Program Agreements and shall have the rights and obligations as the Buyer thereunder and shall be bound by the provisions thereof. The Seller reaffirms any transfers, or grants of security interests in, any Repurchase Assets and/or any other collateral security pursuant to the VFN Repurchase Documents and other Program Agreements.

(f)Upon the Effective Date, each of the parties hereto authorizes the Assignee Buyer (or its agents) to file any amendments to any of the financing statements filed in connection with the VFN Repurchase Documents and the other Program Agreements that list the Assigning Buyer as the secured party of record to change the secured party of record to be the Assignee Buyer and/or to otherwise evidence the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g)The Assignee Administrative Agent hereby notifies the other parties hereto that the Assigning Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof may, from time to time after the Effective Date, continue to provide various administrative services to the Assignee Administrative Agent and the Assignee Buyer to facilitate the assignment and transfer contemplated hereby. The Assignee Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Seller, generally describe the nature of such services being provided by the Assigning Administrative Agent or any applicable Affiliate at the time of such request.

(h)Certain third parties (for example, trustees and servicers) are parties to certain of the Program Agreements that are not VFN Repurchase Documents (such Program Agreements, “Third Party Program Agreements”). If the requisite parties have not entered into documentation necessary for the Assignee Administrative Agent and/or the Assignee Buyer, as applicable, to acquire and assume the Assigning Administrative Agent’s and/or the Assigning Buyer’s rights and obligations under any such Third Party Program Agreement on or before the Effective Date, the Assigning Administrative Agent and the Assigning Buyer have agreed to assist the Assignee Administrative Agent and the Assignee Buyer, as applicable, in order for the Assignee Administrative Agent and the Assignee Buyer to indirectly obtain the rights and benefits of such Third Party Program Agreement until such documentation is entered into.

(i)Notwithstanding anything in the VFN Repurchase Documents or the other Program Agreements to the contrary, at any time after the Effective Date, any Person that is then the “Administrative Agent” or the “Buyer” under any such VFN Repurchase Document or other Program Agreement may assign any or all of its rights and/or obligations to any Person that is any affiliate of such Person without the consent of any party hereto.

(j)Each of the Assignee Administrative Agent and the Assignee Buyer may at any time, participate, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under any VFN Repurchase Document or any other Program Agreement to secure obligations of the Assignee Administrative Agent or the Assignee Buyer, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all indemnities and other protections in favor of the Assigning Administrative Agent and the Assigning Buyer as set forth in the VFN Repurchase Documents shall survive as set forth therein. After the Effective Date, the Seller releases and forever discharges the Assigning Administrative Agent and the Assigning Buyer, as well as their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, from all further obligations, for which the facts and/or circumstances that led to or resulted in such obligations arose on or after the Effective Date, in connection with the VFN Repurchase Documents and the other Program Agreements, and from all manner of actions, causes of action, suits, debts, damages, expenses, claims and demands whatsoever that such party has or may have against any of the foregoing persons, for which the facts and/or circumstances that led to or resulted in such actions, causes of action, suits, debts, damages, expenses, claims and demands arose on or after the Effective Date, in connection with the performance under the VFN Repurchase Documents or any other Program Agreement.

The Price Differential shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Price Differential Period and a 360-day year.

Section 1.05Margin Maintenance.

(a)If at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of the Purchase Price of the Note is greater than the related Asset Value (such excess, a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash in an amount at least equal to the Margin Deficit (such requirement, a “Margin Call”).

(b)Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.05(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. With respect to a Margin Call, any notice given before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day.

Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

-13-

Section 1.07Application of Payments.

(a)On each Price Differential Payment Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all amounts deposited into the Buyer Account from and after the immediately preceding Price Differential Payment Date (or the Closing Date in connection with the initial Price Differential Payment Date), or received by Buyer from the Issuer in the Buyer’s capacity as VFN Noteholder, shall be applied as follows:

(i)first, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid Price Differential owing;

Section 1.10Requirements of Law.

-14-

(a)If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of trust and trust agreement or other organizational or governing documents) or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by 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 Closing Date:

(i)shall subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)shall impose, modify or hold any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Price Differential hereunder; or

(iii)shall impose on Buyer any other condition (other than Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining this Agreement or any other Program Agreement, the Transactions or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b)If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’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 Buyer or any corporation Controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction.

(c)If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall promptly notify 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 2.10 submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) to the extent the withheld or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.11) such Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b)In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any Other Taxes.

(c)Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on Administrative Agent or Buyer (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.11 and any liability including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto). The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 2.11 shall apply and be made whether or not the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.11(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

Nothing contained in Section 2.10 or this Section 2.11 shall require any Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

(e)Administrative Agent shall and shall cause each Buyer to deliver to the Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as will permit payments made hereunder to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Administrative Agent shall and shall cause each Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, to deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller as will enable the Seller to determine whether or not Administrative Agent or such Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation in Section 2.11(e)(A), (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in a Buyer’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall and shall cause a Buyer to deliver to the Seller, to the extent legally entitled to do so.

(A) in the case of a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant which is a “U.S. Person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(C) if a payment made to a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or assignee or participant were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Administrative Agent on behalf of such Buyer or assignee or participant shall deliver to the Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as may be necessary for the Seller to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by Administrative Agent on behalf of each applicable Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant under this Agreement, as the case may be, and upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any IRS form previously delivered by it hereunder.

Section 1.12Indemnity. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 10.02, Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer and to hold Buyer harmless from any loss or expense that Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) a default by Seller in payment when due of the Repurchase Price or Price Differential or (ii) a default by Seller in making any prepayment of Repurchase Price after Seller has given a notice thereof in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 1.13Changes in VFN Principal Balance. Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of the VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request that is delivered under the Indenture reflecting any increase or decrease in the Collateral Value. If the Collateral Value has increased, and all the Funding Conditions set forth in the Indenture have been satisfied, then upon approval in writing by Buyer of such increase in the VFN Principal Balance, the VFN Principal Balance set forth in the Asset Schedule hereof shall be automatically updated. Buyer may fund such increases pursuant to Section 2.01. To the extent the Collateral Value has decreased, the VFN Principal Balance set forth in the Asset Schedule hereof shall be automatically updated to reflect any adjustment or pay down of the VFN Principal Balance pursuant to the Indenture.

(b)In the event that a Seller Termination Option as described in clause (a) of the definition thereof has occurred and Seller has notified Buyer in writing of its option to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to withdraw such request for payment within three (3) Business Days of Seller’s notice of its exercise of the Seller Termination Option and Seller shall no longer have the right to terminate this Agreement.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall remain responsible for all costs actually incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 2.10 and 2.11.

Section 1.04Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Seller shall not (a) change the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that specified in Section 3.17 or (b) change its name or identity, unless it shall have given Buyer at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken all other actions deemed necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Repurchase Assets with the same or better priority.

Section 1.05Performance by Buyer of Seller’s Obligations.

Such interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Price Differential Period and a 360-day year.

Section 1.06Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Repurchase Assets received by Seller consisting of cash, checks and other liquid assets readily convertible to cash items shall be held by Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Seller, and shall forthwith upon receipt by Seller be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by Seller (duly endorsed by Seller to Buyer, if required) and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Buyer (whether from Seller 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

-24-

remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Section 1.07Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, 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, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (including Buyer’s rights to a strict foreclosure under Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer may seek the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee, or similar official in respect of Seller or any of Seller’s property. 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 Seller 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 Repurchase Assets, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Repurchase Assets 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 Repurchase Assets so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Seller further agrees, at Buyer’s request, to assemble the Repurchase Assets and make them available to Buyer at places which Buyer shall reasonably select, whether at Seller’s premises or elsewhere. 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 Repurchase Assets or in any way relating to the Repurchase Assets 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 Seller. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller 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 Repurchase Assets 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. Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated herein) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Repurchase Assets are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements in amounts reasonable under the circumstances, of any attorneys employed by Buyer to collect such deficiency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, the remedies set forth in this Section 4.07 concerning any actions with respect to the MSRs arising under or related to any Servicing Contract shall be subject to the Acknowledgment Agreement entered into with Ginnie Mae.

Section 1.11Reinstatement. All security interests created by this Article IV shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of Seller is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Seller or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as if such release had not been made.

Section 1.12Subordination

. Seller shall not seek in any Insolvency Event of the Issuer 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 Seller should be treated as separate classes of creditors.

-44-

protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Repurchase Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Seller understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Seller shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the GLB Act) of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which Seller holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information.

Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section 10.11. Without limitation, this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Seller. Seller shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to Seller by Buyer or such Affiliate.

Section 1.12Set-off.

Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller 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.

(a)The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code.

(b)It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 7.03 is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and Section 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

(d)It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(e)This Agreement is intended to be a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 under the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement,” within the meaning of Section 561 under the Bankruptcy Code.

(f)It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction constitute a financing with Seller incurring an indebtedness, and that Seller be (except to the extent that Buyer shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law that becomes effective after the date of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence (including on any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state, or local taxing authority and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment).
