ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE OF PARTICIPATION INTERESTS

2.1 Request for Purchase.

(a) At any time prior to the Advance Request Termination Date, Seller may submit a Request to Bank for Bank to purchase a Participation Interest in one or more Eligible Mortgage Loans from Seller hereunder by delivering or causing to be delivered to Bank, by electronic data submission, as may be required by Bank from time to time, the information and other items for such Eligible Mortgage Loans required by Bank pursuant to the Warehouse Program Guide (as amended by this Agreement).

(b) To assist Bank in making its decision whether to purchase a Participation Interest in any particular Eligible Mortgage Loan, Seller will timely provide Bank or Bank’s agents with the information and other items for such Eligible Mortgage Loan required by Bank pursuant to the Warehouse Program Guide (as amended by this Agreement).

(c) Each submission of a Request shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by Seller to Bank on the date of such Request and on the date of an Advance made by Bank to purchase a Participation Interest in any Mortgage Loan in connection with such Request that: (i) such Request relates to an Eligible Mortgage Loan; and (ii) the information and materials submitted to Bank in connection with such Mortgage Loan and such Request are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

(d) Each submission of a Request shall constitute Seller’s agreement, such that, if Bank elects to purchase from Seller a Participation Interest in the Mortgage Loan referenced in such Request, then effective upon payment by Bank to Seller of the Purchase Price for such Participation Interest pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall have (and shall be conclusively deemed to have) irrevocably and unconditionally sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed to Bank, and Bank shall have (and shall be conclusively deemed to have) purchased and accepted from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in, to and under such Participation Interest in such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and such sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance shall be evidenced by this Agreement.

2.2 Decision to Purchase. Each decision of Bank whether to purchase any Participation Interest in any Mortgage Loan from Seller hereunder shall be made by Bank in its sole and absolute discretion. Bank shall be under no obligation hereunder to purchase any Participation Interest in any Mortgage Loan nor shall Bank have any obligation hereunder to purchase any minimum amount of Participation Interests in Mortgage Loans. In each instance where a Request is submitted to Bank, Bank will make an independent decision whether to purchase a Participation Interest in any Mortgage Loan contemplated by the Request. Bank may decline to purchase any Participation Interest in any Mortgage Loan for any reason. The election of Bank to purchase a Participation Interest in any Mortgage Loan shall be evidenced by the making of an Advance by Bank for the payment of the Purchase Price related thereto. If for any reason whatsoever Bank fails to make an Advance for the payment of the Purchase Price for a Participation Interest in any Mortgage Loan, then it shall be conclusive evidence of Bank’s election not to purchase a Participation Interest in such Mortgage Loan.

2.3 Conditions to Each Purchase. As a condition precedent to any purchase of a Participation Interest by Bank from Seller hereunder, in addition to all other requirements set forth herein, Seller shall deliver to Bank all of the following, each being duly executed, endorsed, notarized where applicable and delivered and in form and content satisfactory to Bank in its commercially reasonable discretion:

(a) The information and other items required to be delivered to Bank pursuant to Section 2.1;

(b) The representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement and each other Warehouse Document (other than those representations and warranties which are, by their terms, expressly limited to the date of the agreement in which they were initially made) are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such purchase;

(c) If requested by Bank, a written certification from Seller that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing as of the date of the Advance;

(d) Seller has adequate available funds on deposit in the Participation Account in an amount not less than Seller’s Funding Amount for such Mortgage Loan; and

(e) Such other documents as Bank may reasonably request at any time at or prior to the date of the first Advance hereunder or as a condition to any subsequent Advance hereunder, including any and each Pledge Agreement required by Bank to be executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Each submission of a Request shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by Seller to Bank on the date of the applicable Advance made to purchase a Participation Interest in connection with such Request as to the facts and statements specified in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) immediately above and in Sections 5.1(e), (g) and (h) are true and correct in all material respects. It is understood and agreed that Bank shall not make any Advance for the Purchase Price of any Participation Interest unless with respect thereto Bank is in receipt of all agreements and documents required to be delivered to Bank under this Agreement and all other conditions precedent and requirements set forth herein are satisfied or waived by Bank in writing.

All conditions precedent hereunder to the purchase of a Participation Interest are solely for the benefit of Bank. Bank’s election, in its sole discretion, to waive any condition precedent hereunder for the purchase of any Participation Interest shall not constitute a waiver of the satisfaction of such condition precedent for any subsequent purchase of any other Participation Interest. No such condition precedent shall be deemed waived unless waived in writing by Bank.

2.4 Funding of Mortgage Loan Transactions; Purchase of Participation Interests. With respect to each Participated Mortgage Loan, Bank and Seller agree that:

(a) Bank shall (and is authorized to) debit funds from the Participation Account in an amount equal to Seller’s Funding Amount for such Participated Mortgage Loan and deliver on behalf of Seller by wire transfer such funds directly to the account of the Funding Recipient designated in the related Request (provided, however, if such Funding Recipient is an Escrow Agent, then such account shall be an escrow account) or deliver such funds on behalf of Seller to such Funding Recipient in any other manner acceptable to Bank. Bank shall not make an Advance for the purchase of a Participation Interest in any Mortgage Loan unless Seller has good funds on deposit in the Participation Account in an amount not less than Seller’s Funding Amount for such Mortgage Loan;

(b) As payment by Bank to Seller for the purchase of a Participation Interest in such Participated Mortgage Loan, Bank shall make an Advance in an amount equal to the

related Purchase Price. Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally instructs Bank, with respect to any such Advance, to deliver by wire transfer the proceeds of such Advance on behalf of Seller directly to the account of the Funding Recipient designated in the related Request or to deliver such proceeds on behalf of Seller to such Funding Recipient in any other manner acceptable to Bank; and

(c) Upon the making of an Advance by Bank to or on behalf of Seller for the purchase of a Participation Interest in such Participated Mortgage Loan as described above in this Section: (i) Bank shall immediately have purchased such Participation Interest from Seller, and shall immediately have become fully vested with, an undivided percentage ownership interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Participated Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, which undivided percentage ownership interest shall equal the Participation Percentage for such Participated Mortgage Loan; and (ii) Seller shall immediately make proper entries on its books and records disclosing the absolute sale by Seller to Bank of such Participation Interest in such Participated Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Loan Documents. The purchase and sale of a Participation Interest in any Participated Mortgage Loan hereunder shall be conclusively established by the making of an Advance by Bank for the Purchase Price for such Participation Interest as and in the manner provided in this Section.

2.5 Failure to Complete Mortgage Loan Transaction. Each Advance made by Bank to purchase a Participation Interest from Seller in a Mortgage Loan is intended by Bank and Seller to be made in connection with a Mortgage Loan Transaction, which Mortgage Loan Transaction is to occur on or about the date on which the related Request for such Advance is submitted by Seller to Bank for Bank to purchase a Participation Interest in such Mortgage Loan or on such date otherwise specified in such Request. With respect to any Mortgage Loan for which Seller has submitted a Request to Bank for Bank to purchase a Participation Interest therein, if the Mortgage Loan Transaction related thereto is not expected by Seller to occur or fails to occur within two (2) Business Days of such Request then Seller shall immediately provide notice thereof to Bank. Should the Mortgage Loan Transaction related to any Mortgage Loan not be expected by Seller to occur or fail to occur within two (2) Business Days of the Request to Bank for Bank to purchase a Participation Interest therein and Bank shall have delivered on behalf of Seller to the related Funding Recipient the proceeds of the Advance for the purchase by Bank of such Participation Interest, then: (a) the proceeds of such Advance shall immediately be returned directly to Bank and Bank may instruct such Funding Recipient to immediately return such proceeds directly to Bank; and (b) Seller shall (i) immediately instruct and cause such Funding Recipient to return the proceeds of such Advance directly to Bank and (ii) cooperate with Bank to effect the immediate return of the proceeds of such Advance directly to Bank and, at the request of Bank, take such actions and do such things deemed necessary or appropriate by Bank to effect the immediate return directly to Bank of the proceeds of such Advance.

2.6 Reserved.

2.7 Maximum Participation Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not purchase and hold, at any one time, Participation Interests such that the Outstanding Participation Balance exceeds the Maximum Participation Amount; provided,

however, that Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to temporarily increase the Maximum Participation Amount upon written notice to Seller pursuant to Section 2.8. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit, impair or affect the provisions of Section 2.2.

2.8 Overline Facility Increases. Upon Seller’s request from time to time, Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to temporarily increase the amount of the Maximum Participation Amount (each, an “Overline Facility Increase”) by providing written notice thereof to Seller (each, an “Overline Confirmation”). Each Overline Confirmation shall set forth the terms on which Bank agrees to temporarily increase the Maximum Participation Amount, including: (a) the amount to which the Maximum Participation Amount will be temporarily increased; (b) the date on which such temporary increase in the Maximum Participation Amount shall commence and terminate (the “Overline Period”); and (c) the amount to which the Minimum Pledged Balance shall be increased in connection with such Overline Facility Increase. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Overline Facility Increase, Seller shall deposit into the Pledged Account good funds in such amount required in order to maintain therein the Minimum Pledged Balance set forth in the related Overline Confirmation. During any Overline Period, the Maximum Participation Amount and Minimum Pledged Balance shall equal the respective amounts set forth on the Overline Confirmation and, upon the expiration of the Overline Period, the Maximum Participation Amount and Minimum Pledged Balance shall automatically be reduced to the respective amounts in effect prior to the commencement of any Overline Period.

ARTICLE 3
DELIVERY OF BANK DOCUMENT DELIVERABLES

3.1 Documents to be Delivered to the Custodian After an Advance. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, within five (5) Business Days after the Purchase Date for any Participated Mortgage Loan, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian all of the Bank Document Deliverables for such Participated Mortgage Loan. Bank reserves the right to reasonably request copies of any of the Bank Document Deliverables for review prior to making any Advance for the purchase of a Participation Interest in any specific Mortgage Loan.

3.2 Procedure for Delivery of Bank Document Deliverables. Seller shall cause the Bank Document Deliverables for each Participated Mortgage Loan to be: (i) delivered directly to Seller (and, in the event that the applicable Funding Recipient for such Participated Mortgage Loan is or is required hereunder to be an Escrow Agent, such Bank Document Deliverables shall be delivered directly to Seller from escrow by the Escrow Agent for such Participated Mortgage Loan); and (ii) thereafter, delivered directly to the Custodian by Seller within five (5) Business Days after the Purchase Date for such Participated Mortgage Loan, unless otherwise expressly provided by Bank in writing to Seller with respect to such Participated Mortgage Loan (it being understood that any such writing from Bank shall only apply to the specific Participated Mortgage Loan referenced therein).

3.3 Bank Document Deliverables Held By Seller. Without limiting the requirements set forth in Section 3.2, Seller acknowledges and agrees that each and every Bank Document Deliverable for any Participated Mortgage Loan which is at any time in the custody, possession or control of Seller after Bank’s purchase of a Participation Interest in such Participated Mortgage

Loan shall be held and delivered to the Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 5.12.

In order to secure the prompt and complete performance by Seller of its Repurchase/Sale Obligations, Seller does hereby pledge, assign and grant to Bank a continuing security interest in and to the Collateral. For this purpose, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement in accordance with the UCC, and Bank shall have all the rights of a secured creditor with respect to such security.

(b) For each Participated Mortgage Loan, it is the intention of Bank and Seller that such Participated Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Loan Documents will be sold and delivered to a Take-Out Purchaser or repurchased by Seller, and for such Take-Out Purchaser and/or Seller to have paid the full amount of the Repurchase Price for the Participation Interest related to such Participated Mortgage Loan, within [***] days of the Purchase Date for such Participated Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Bank shall not have and does not undertake any duty, obligation or liability arising from or related to any Take-Out Purchase Agreement or any Take-Out Purchaser.

4.2 Sale of Participated Mortgage Loans to Take-Out Purchasers.

(a) The sale of each Participated Mortgage Loan by Seller and Bank to any Take-Out Purchaser shall be in accordance with the terms of the related Take-Out Purchase Agreement. If a Take-Out Purchaser fails to perform or anticipatorily breaches its obligations under a Take-Out Purchase Agreement to purchase any Participated Mortgage Loan, then Seller shall promptly locate and consummate the sale by Bank and Seller of such Participated Mortgage Loan to another Take-Out Purchaser; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or qualify any other rights or remedies available to Bank hereunder with respect to such Participated Mortgage Loan or any Participation Interest therein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Take-Out Purchase Agreement, the procedures of sale to a Take-Out Purchaser by Seller and Bank of any Participated Mortgage Loan shall be as follows:

(i) Seller shall deliver to the Take-Out Purchaser the Mortgage Loan Documents for such Participated Mortgage Loan (other than the related Mortgage Note and other Mortgage Loan Documents, if any, which are then being held by the Custodian). Such Mortgage Loan Documents shall be delivered by Seller to the Take-Out Purchaser under the provisions of the Take-Out Purchase Agreement which govern the Take-Out Purchaser’s custody and possession of such Mortgage Loan Documents or under such other written custodial or similar bailment agreement between Seller and the Take-Out Purchaser acceptable to Bank.

(ii) Bank shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Take-Out Purchaser, under a Bailee Letter, the Mortgage Loan Documents for such Participated Mortgage Loan which are then held by the Custodian pursuant to this Agreement, including the original Mortgage Note for such Participated Mortgage Loan accompanied by: (A) the Required Endorsements; and (B) if such Mortgage Note was not endorsed in blank by Seller, an allonge endorsed in blank by Bank, as agent for Seller, pursuant to (and if and to the extent that Bank shall have received and accepted) a valid power of attorney, in form and content satisfactory to Bank, authorizing Bank to endorse such Mortgage Note for and on behalf of Seller.

(c) Within no more than thirty (30) days after the delivery by the Custodian to the Take-Out Purchaser of the Mortgage Note evidencing such Participated Mortgage Loan, Seller shall cause the Take-Out Purchaser to pay or cause to be paid directly to Bank, as payment to Seller and Bank for the purchase by the Take-Out Purchaser of such Participated Mortgage Loan, immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Take-Out Purchase Price for such Participated Mortgage Loan. If the Take-Out Purchase Price for such Participated Mortgage Loan is less than the Repurchase Price for the related Participation Interest, then Seller shall pay to Bank in immediately available funds the amount of such shortfall such that the total amount received from the Take-Out Purchaser and Seller shall be an amount equal to the related Repurchase Price.

(d) All of the proceeds from the sale by Seller of a Participated Mortgage Loan to a Take-Out Purchaser shall be paid directly to Bank pursuant to Section 4.3 and shall be applied by Bank on behalf of Bank and Seller in accordance with Section 4.4.

(e) Subject to Section 4.4(b), Bank and Seller’s ownership interests in any Participated Mortgage Loan to be sold to a Take-Out Purchaser shall continue in full force and effect, and Bank and Seller shall not have (and shall not be deemed to have) sold such Participated Mortgage Loan to a Take-Out Purchaser unless and until such time as Bank shall have received immediately available funds from the Take-Out Purchaser and/or Seller for such sale in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price for the Participation Interested in such Participated Mortgage Loan.

4.3 Payments From Take-Out Purchasers. In connection with each sale of a Participated Mortgage Loan by Seller and Bank to a Take-Out Purchaser, Seller shall cause the Take-Out Purchase Price to be paid by the Take-Out Purchaser for the purchase of the Participated Mortgage Loan to be paid by the Take-Out Purchaser, in immediately available funds, directly to Bank into the Repayment Account. Bank shall promptly notify Seller of the receipt of funds deposited into the Repayment Account by a Take-Out Purchaser or from Bank’s custodian or other designee that may be in receipt of such funds from time to time (each a “Take-Out Purchaser Payment”). If the Take-Out Purchaser Payment for such Participated Mortgage Loan is less than the Repurchase Price for the related Participation Interest, then Seller shall deposit to the Repayment Account the amount of such shortfall such that the total amount received from the Take-Out Purchaser and Seller shall be an amount equal to the related Repurchase Price.

4.4 Processing Payments From Take-Out Purchasers. With respect to any Take-Out Purchaser Payment:

(a) Seller shall promptly confirm to Bank the Participated Mortgage Loan to which such Take-Out Purchaser Payment (along with any shortfall deposited by Seller pursuant to Section 4.3) applies.

(b) In addition, Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to not post any Take-Out Purchaser Payment for credit to Seller in the event that insufficient funds were delivered by the Take-Out Purchaser to Bank to fully pay the Repurchase Price for the Participation Interested related to the Participated Mortgage Loan to which the Take-Out Purchaser Payment applies, but only after notice to Seller and allowing Seller [***] to cure any such defect by funding, or causing to be funded, any such shortfalls. Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) with respect to any Take-Out Purchaser Payment for which insufficient funds were delivered, Bank’s related Participation Interest shall not have been sold (and shall be deemed to not have been sold) to such Take-Out Purchaser unless and until Seller has caused sufficient funds to be deposited in the Repayment Account, and Seller shall immediately either deposit such funds or notify such Take-Out Purchaser that no sale of such Participated Mortgage Loan by Bank and Seller to such Take-Out Purchaser has occurred and coordinate return of the Take-Out Purchaser Payment; and (ii) with respect to a Take-Out Purchaser Payment for which insufficient funds were delivered (after notice to Seller and [***] to cure as set forth

above), Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to offset any amounts in any Account in order to effect full payment of the related Repurchase Price; and

(c) The proceeds of each Take-Out Purchaser Payment (along with any shortfall deposited by Seller pursuant to Section 4.3) shall be applied by Bank pursuant to Section 5.13.

All notices to be given and actions to be taken pursuant to this Section shall be effectuated electronically or in such other manner, as required by Bank from time to time pursuant to the Warehouse Program Guide (as amended by this Agreement).

4.7 Reserved.

4.8 Repurchase of Participation Interests.

(a) With respect to any specific Participated Mortgage Loan, Seller may at any time, at Seller’s sole option, repurchase from Bank, in its entirety, all of Bank’s then-outstanding Participation Interest in such Participated Mortgage Loan at the related Repurchase Price. With respect to any specific Participated Mortgage Loan, Bank shall have the right to require Seller, upon demand by Bank, to repurchase from Bank, in its entirety, all of Bank’s then-outstanding Participation Interest in such Participated Mortgage Loan, if Bank reasonably determines at any time, that: (i) any representation or warranty

made or deemed made by Seller to Bank under Sections 2.1 or 6.10 as to such Participated Mortgage Loan was false, misleading, or erroneous in any material respect at the time on or as of the Purchase Date for such Participated Mortgage Loan and such breach has an adverse material effect on such Participated Mortgage Loan or Bank’s rights therein; (ii) such Participated Mortgage Loan was not an Eligible Mortgage Loan on or as of the Purchase Date for such Participated Mortgage Loan or no longer qualifies as an Eligible Mortgage Loan anytime thereafter; (iii) any Mortgage Loan Document related to such Participated Mortgage Loan was erroneous, unsigned or incomplete in any material respect on the Purchase Date for such Participated Mortgage Loan and such error, lack of signature or incompleteness has not been corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of Bank within a commercially reasonable time period following such Purchase Date; (iv) any fraud occurred on the part of Seller or its agents or employees or of Borrower or any other Person with respect to the origination, underwriting, closing or funding of such Mortgage Loan; or (v) any of the Bank Document Deliverables for such Participated Mortgage Loan have not been delivered to the Custodian as and when required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Bank shall have the right to require Seller, upon demand by Bank, to repurchase from Bank, in their entirety, all of Bank’s then-outstanding Participation Interests in the Participated Mortgage Loans identified in such demand.

(b) In Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, Seller shall be required to immediately repurchase from Bank, in its entirety, all of Bank’s then-outstanding Participation Interest in any Aged Participated Mortgage Loan on the [***] day after the Purchase Date for such Participation Interest if such Aged Participated Mortgage Loan does not constitute a Retired Participated Mortgage Loan by such [***] day. In addition, Seller shall automatically be required, whether or not Bank has made demand therefor, to immediately repurchase from Bank, in their entirety, all of Bank’s then-outstanding Participation Interests in any and all Participated Mortgage Loan upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under Sections 9.1(e) or (f) with respect to Seller.

(c) To effect the repurchase of any Participation Interest required under this Section, Seller shall pay to Bank an amount equal to the applicable Repurchase Price for such Participation Interest, which amount shall be due and payable: (i) on the date Bank has made demand for the repurchase of such Participation Interest, if such repurchase is required pursuant to Section 4.8(a); or (ii) on the [***] day after the Purchase Date for such Participation Interest, if such repurchase is required pursuant to Section 4.8(b). Bank shall have the right to offset any amounts in the Pledged Account in order to effect full payment of any Repurchase Price when due and payable under this Section, and upon any such offset, Seller shall immediately deposit funds into the Pledged Account in the amount required to fully restore the Minimum Pledged Balance.

(d) Upon Bank’s receipt from Seller of the full amount of the Repurchase Price for the Participation Interest in any Participated Mortgage Loan to be repurchased in its entirety by Seller from Bank pursuant to this Section, and so long as such payment is not disgorged or revoked by a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) effective as of the date of

receipt of such funds and the application by Bank of such funds pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall have repurchased from Bank such Participation Interest in its entirety, and Bank’s respective Participation Percentage in such Participated Mortgage Loan and Seller’s respective Retained Percentage in such Participated Mortgage Loan shall be correspondingly adjusted such that Seller shall own 100% of such Mortgage Loan and such Mortgage Loan shall no longer be a Participated Mortgage Loan hereunder; and (ii) Bank shall thereafter deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the Mortgage Note and any other Mortgage Loan Documents for such Participated Mortgage Loan then in the Custodian’s possession.

(e) The provisions of this Section shall not limit or qualify any rights or remedies of Bank hereunder (including, without limitation, any rights or remedies of Bank under Section 4.6).

4.9 Bank’s Direct Contact with Take-Out Purchasers. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller irrevocably authorizes Bank and its agents and representatives to directly deliver all pertinent documentation to, and communicate with, disclose to, receive from and share information with, any Take-Out Purchaser, which is related to any Participated Mortgage Loan which is to be purchased or has been purchased by such Take-Out Purchaser.

5.2 Termination; Burn-Down.

(a) Seller’s rights hereunder to submit any Request to Bank shall automatically terminate on the Advance Request Termination Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and without limiting Bank’s rights and remedies under Section 9.2, prior to the Advance Request Termination Date, either Party may immediately terminate for any reason whatsoever Seller’s rights hereunder to submit any Request to Bank to purchase a Participation Interest by providing written notice thereof to the other Party. It is understood that the Parties intend the continuation of this Agreement by Bank (and, accordingly, the continuation of Seller’s rights hereunder to submit any Request to Bank for Bank to purchase a Participation Interest) will be based upon the quality of the Mortgage Loans owned by Seller and Seller’s performance of its obligations in connection therewith and herewith and also based upon market conditions and the business objectives of Bank and Seller which may change from time to time.

(c) Any and all outstanding Participation Interests in Participated Mortgage Loans owned by Bank on or before the Advance Request Termination Date shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Unless extended by a written agreement executed by Seller and Bank, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and cease to be in force and effect (except with respect to the provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive termination) without any action or notice upon such time as: (i) Seller shall no longer have any rights hereunder to submit any Request to Bank to

purchase a Participation Interest; (ii) each Participated Mortgage Loan constitutes a Retired Participated Mortgage Loan; (iii) Bank has received full, final and indefeasible payment of all other amounts due and payable by Seller to Bank pursuant to the terms hereof and any other Warehouse Document; (iv) Seller has fully performed and discharged each of its duties, covenants and obligations under each Warehouse Document; and (v) Bank has remitted to Seller all amounts, if any, required hereunder to be remitted by Bank to Seller hereunder.

5.3 Reserved.

5.4 Seller’s Accounts.

(a) Seller shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain each Restricted Account with Bank. With respect to each Restricted Account, Seller may deposit funds into the Restricted Account, however Seller shall not be permitted to withdraw, transfer or otherwise exercise any rights to access any funds held therein and Seller shall have no rights to exercise dominion or control over the Restricted Account.

(b) Seller shall at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain the Remittance Account with Bank. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Warehouse Documents, Seller shall be permitted to withdraw, transfer and otherwise exercise rights to access any funds held therein; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Seller shall not be permitted to withdraw, transfer or otherwise exercise any rights to access any funds held therein and Seller shall have no rights to exercise dominion or control over the Remittance Account.

(c) Concurrently with the execution hereof Seller shall deposit into the Pledged Account, and thereafter for the duration of this Agreement Seller shall maintain in the Pledged Account, good funds in an amount not less than the Minimum Pledged Balance. Seller shall replenish funds in the Pledged Account, such that the Pledged Account is fully restored to the Minimum Pledged Balance, in the event Bank shall offset or apply funds from the Pledged Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) In order to secure the prompt and complete performance by Seller of its Repurchase/Sale Obligations, Seller does hereby pledge, assign and grant to Bank a continuing security interest in and to the Restricted Accounts, the Remittance Account and the other Collateral. For this purpose, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement in accordance with the UCC, and Bank shall have all the rights of a secured creditor with respect to such security, and Bank shall have the right to hold and “freeze” such Accounts and the funds maintained therein upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Without limiting any rights and remedies available to Bank hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may exercise the right to offset and apply all or any portion of the funds of Seller held in one or more of the Accounts towards the payment of all or any portion of any amount due and payable by Seller to Bank hereunder in connection with Seller’s Repurchase/Sale Obligations. Bank is hereby authorized to debit funds from the Accounts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without any notice to or permission from Seller, provided that any funds in excess of amounts necessary

to pay Bank any amounts due pursuant to this Agreement or any other Warehouse Document shall be returned to Seller upon Seller’s request.

5.5 Subordination. It is expressly understood and agreed that all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any Participated Mortgage Loan (including Seller’s servicing rights, if any) are subordinate and inferior to Bank’s Participation Interest in such Participated Mortgage Loan, from and after the Purchase Date for such Participated Mortgage Loan, until such Participated Mortgage Loan becomes a Retired Participated Mortgage Loan.

5.6 Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Bank and each officer of Bank as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for, on behalf of, and in the name of Seller, to: (a) endorse and deliver to any Person any notes, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment coming into Bank’s possession and representing any payment made on or with respect to any Participated Mortgage Loan or otherwise received in connection with any Participated Mortgage Loan (including the proceeds from the sale of any such Participated Mortgage Loan received from a Take-Out Purchaser), and any collateral and any Take-Out Purchase Agreement therefor; (b) prepare, complete, execute, deliver and record, and do anything else necessary or desirable to effect, (i) any endorsement to Bank, any Take-Out Purchaser or any other Person, of any Mortgage Note evidencing a Participated Mortgage Loan, or (ii) any transfer, assignment or conveyance to Bank, any Take-Out Purchaser or any other Person, of any or all right, title and interest in and to any Mortgage Note and the Mortgage Loan Documents related thereto in which Bank has purchased a Participation Interest (including servicing rights); (c) do anything necessary or desirable to effect the sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance, of any or all right, title and interest of Seller and/or Bank in and to any Participated Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Loan Documents related thereto to any Take-Out Purchaser or any other Person; (d) commence, prosecute, settle, discontinue, defend, or otherwise dispose of any claim relating to any Take-Out Purchase Agreement or any Participated Mortgage Loan; (e) sign Seller’s name wherever appropriate, as determined by Bank, to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement; and (f) to take any such further action as Bank may deem appropriate, and to act under changed circumstances, the exact nature of which may not be currently foreseen or foreseeable, in order to fully and completely effectuate Bank’s rights under this Agreement. The powers and authorities herein conferred on Bank may be exercised by Bank through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of Bank. The limited power of attorney conferred by this Section is granted for a valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and, therefore, is irrevocable so long as any duties or obligations to Bank under this Agreement or any other Warehouse Document, or any part thereof, shall remain unpaid or otherwise unsatisfied, and so long as Bank may elect to purchase any Participation Interests hereunder. The limited power of attorney conferred hereunder shall not be affected by any subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal or by the lapse of time. To facilitate processing, Bank may request that Seller execute and deliver a separate, limited power of attorney in such form and content required by Bank, but any failure of Bank to request or obtain any such separate power of attorney instrument shall not mitigate or undermine the rights and powers conferred under this Section.

5.7 Private Recording Systems. Bank reserves the right to require that any or all Participated Mortgage Loans be registered and processed on the MERS® System.

5.8 Regulatory Compliance. With respect to each Participated Mortgage Loan, Seller hereby represents, warrants and certifies to Bank that such Participated Mortgage Loan and each related Mortgage Loan Document was originated, made, negotiated, executed and delivered pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable terms and provisions of the Federal Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Dodd-Frank Act, the Interagency Appraisal Guidelines, and all other applicable Laws relating to the financing of Residential Real Property, each of which Laws have been fully satisfied and strictly complied with by Seller and such other applicable parties, and that Bank shall have no obligation with respect to the compliance with any such Laws, or the filing of any reports, certifications or other documents or items with or to any Borrower, any Governmental Authority, or any other Person whatsoever (other than any obligations Bank may have to its regulators). IN THIS RESPECT, SELLER WILL RELEASE, HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES WHICH ARE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST BANK IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BREACH OR INACCURACY OF THE TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.

5.9 Verifications. After such Mortgage Loan has become a Participated Mortgage Loan, Bank shall have the right and authority to re-verify all information obtained by Seller regarding the related Borrower, including verification of employment, verification of deposit and all information included in each related Loan Application. Seller shall cooperate with Bank in such re-verification process. Further, Bank shall have full right and authority to obtain an updated credit report on any Borrower, provided that if Bank shall obtain any such credit report it shall utilize a query that does not in any way negatively impact the related Borrower’s credit score. In such verification process, Seller shall, upon the request of Bank, supply a copy of Borrower’s handwritten, typed or signed Loan Application.

5.10 Servicing Responsibilities. Seller will have the responsibility for the administration and servicing of each Participated Mortgage Loan until such Mortgage Loan is sold to an Take-Out Purchaser or otherwise becomes a Retired Participated Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Participated Mortgage Loan, Seller shall be responsible for the period from and after the purchase of the Participation Interest in such Participated Mortgage Loan for the execution of all appropriate notices and all other acts necessary to protect title in Seller and Bank, or their respective successors or assignees, as the case may be, as to the ownership of such Participated Mortgage Loan and for preserving all rights in and to such Participated Mortgage Loan and administering it in all material respects consistent with applicable Law, and for servicing the same in a manner consistent with industry practices and Agency guidelines.

In connection with Seller’s servicing of the Participated Mortgage Loans, upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, Seller will, or will cause its subservicer to, forward directly to Bank, Bank’s pro rata share of all funds received under each such Mortgage Loan on or before the remittance date on which Seller would be entitled to remittances as specified in Seller’s servicing or subservicing agreement.

In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Warehouse Document, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement or the other Warehouse Documents.

10.10 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in any other Warehouse Document shall continue in full force and effect as long as Bank has the right to purchase Participation Interests hereunder and until all obligations to Bank hereunder and thereunder have been fully satisfied and discharged.

10.11 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on behalf of Seller in this Agreement or any Warehouse Document shall bind Seller’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns. Seller shall not, however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Mortgage Loans, and any and all such requests and purchases on or after the Effective Date shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) any and all Existing Participation Interests shall continue but shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement from and after the Effective Date; and (c) the Existing Warehouse Agreement shall automatically terminate and cease to be in force and effect (except with respect to the provisions of the Existing Warehouse Agreement which expressly survive termination) without any action or notice. The terms of this Section supersede and modify any and all inconsistent provisions in any Existing Warehouse Agreement.

10.13 Consent or Approval. Except where a standard has been otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Warehouse Documents (sole discretion, reasonable, commercially reasonable, etc.), in any instance under this Agreement or the other Warehouse Documents where the approval, consent or the exercise of judgment of a party is required: (a) the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be (i) within the sole and absolute discretion of such party and (ii) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for that purpose and executed by such party; and (b) in order to be effective, such approval, consent or exercise of judgment must be given by such party prior to the applicable action to be taken by requiring approval, consent or exercise of judgment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by such party. Each provision for consent, approval, inspection, review, or verification by a party is for such party’s own purposes and benefit only.

10.14 Cumulative Rights. The rights and remedies of Bank under this Agreement and any other Warehouse Document shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any rights and remedies of Bank at law or in equity.

10.16 Seller’s Understanding. Seller has read this Agreement and has had the opportunity to seek and/or receive counsel from an attorney of Seller’s choice as to the effects hereof.

10.17 Nature of Transactions.

(a) The relationship established by this Agreement and the other Warehouse Documents between Bank and Seller is that of a seller and purchaser of Participation Interests in Mortgage Loans, and not that of a lender and borrower. Subject to Section 10.17(b), it is the intention of Bank and Seller that: (i) the purchase and sale of each Participation Interest hereunder shall be treated and construed as a sale by Seller to Bank, and the purchase by Bank from Seller, of a certain undivided percentage ownership interest in the related Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgage Loan Documents; and (ii) each sale of a Participation Interest by Seller to Bank, and each purchase of a

Participation Interest by Bank from Seller, is a sale of an undivided interest in a promissory note to Bank, and that pursuant to Section 9.109 of the UCC of the State of Texas, Bank and Seller’s characterization of each such sale and purchase of a Participation Interest as a purchase and sale of such Participation Interest shall be conclusive that (A) the transaction is a sale and is not a secured transaction and (B) legal and equitable title has passed to Bank in the Mortgage Loan and Mortgage Loan Documents in which Bank acquired such Participation Interest.

(b) Neither Party has made or hereby makes any representations or warranties to the other Party, and hereby disclaims any such representations or warranties, regarding the accounting or tax treatment to be applied to any Participation Interest (including whether any such Participation Interest qualifies for “sale” treatment under any applicable accounting rules, regulations or standards). Each Party hereby agrees that it has and will make its own independent determination regarding the accounting and tax treatment to be applied to each Participation Interest, and has not relied upon the other Party in any manner in making such determination. The accounting or tax treatment applied by any Party with respect to any Participation Interest shall not be binding upon the other Party, shall not be used by the other Party in any manner inconsistent with, and shall not affect, the Parties’ intent hereunder that any and all transactions pursuant to which Bank pays a Purchase Price to Seller is (other than for accounting purposes) a sale by Seller to Bank, and the purchase by Bank from Seller, of a certain undivided percentage ownership interest in the related Mortgage Loan and Mortgage Loan Documents and that legal and equitable title has passed to Bank in the Mortgage Loan in which Bank acquired such Participation Interest.

(c) If any court of competent jurisdiction shall deem any transaction involving Bank, Seller or any Participation Interest governed by this Agreement to be a loan, extension of credit or a secured financing, or if any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any purported Participation Interest in any purported Participated Mortgage Loan (or any portion thereof) is the property of Seller or shall otherwise not have been sold by Seller to, and purchased by, Bank, as contemplated herein, then notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Warehouse Document to the contrary: (i) as of the Effective Date, Bank shall have (and Seller shall have been deemed to have pledged, assigned and granted to Bank) a first priority security interest in and to the Collateral to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of any and all of Seller’s indebtedness and obligations to Bank under this Agreement and the other Warehouse Documents; and (ii) any and all amounts received by Bank with respect to any Participated Mortgage Loan may be applied in such order and priority as Bank may determine. For this purpose, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement in accordance with the UCC, and Bank shall have all the rights of a secured creditor with respect to such security.

10.18 Repurchase Agreement. It is expressly stipulated to be the intent of Bank and Seller, and understood and agreed by Bank and Seller, that (a) this Agreement constitutes a “repurchase agreement” under Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) pursuant to Sections 362(b), 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code, the rights of Bank under this Agreement related to the sale and repurchase of Mortgage Loans (including, the rights of Bank hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to liquidate and/or foreclose on the Mortgage Loans

in which it holds Participation Interests) shall not be stayed, avoided or otherwise limited by the operation of any provision of the Bankruptcy Code.

10.19 Usury Savings Provision. It is expressly stipulated to be the intent of Bank and Seller, and understood and agreed by Bank and Seller, that this Agreement: (a) does not represent a loan from Bank to Seller; and (b) allows Bank to purchase the Participation Interests for its own account and for a short term investment. If, notwithstanding the foregoing or the terms of this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction establishes a loan or extension of credit within this Agreement from Bank to Seller, then the parties to this Agreement hereby understand, acknowledge and agree that in such event: (a) Seller shall be the underlying obligor of that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction; (b) Seller is utilizing the proceeds of that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction for business, commercial, investment, or similar purposes; and (c) Seller has determined that it is beneficial to use any and all proceeds of that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction to establish collateral for that loan or extension of credit established by such court of competent jurisdiction by: (i) making deposits at Bank; (ii) purchasing certificates of deposit from Bank; and/or (iii) establishing other accounts at Bank. Additionally, it is the stipulated, understood and agreed to be the intent of Bank and Seller that this Agreement shall at all times comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), if any, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Bank to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. For purposes of this provision, “Indebtedness” shall mean all indebtedness, if any, evidenced, referenced, described, or established by a court of competent jurisdiction under this Agreement, and all amounts payable in the performance of any covenant or obligation in any of the other documents or any other communication or writing by or between Bank and Seller related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of this Agreement, or any part of such Indebtedness, if any. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, if any, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Bank’s and Seller’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined), if any, shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Bank, if any, shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness, if any, or, if the Indebtedness, if any, has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Seller, and the provisions of this Agreement and any underlying documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Indebtedness has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Bank and Seller agree that Bank shall, with reasonable promptness after Bank discovers or is advised by Seller that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Seller to Bank and/or refund such excess interest to Seller. If and to the extent Indebtedness is determined to exist by a court of competent jurisdiction, then Seller hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Bank, Seller will provide written notice to Bank, advising Bank in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Bank shall have sixty (60) days after receipt

of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Seller or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness, if any, then owing by Seller to Bank. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Bank for the use, forbearance or detention of Indebtedness, if any, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Agreement (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness, if any, does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness, if any, for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to this Agreement or any other part of the Indebtedness, if any. If and to the extent any Indebtedness is determined to exist under this Agreement by a court of competent jurisdiction, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of underlying documents referenced herein, it is not the intention of Bank to accelerate the maturity of any interest, if any, that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. If and to the extent any Indebtedness is determined to exist under this Agreement by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other underlying documents referenced within this Agreement or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness. As used herein, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved in accordance with the applicable Laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Bank to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all fees, charges and any other value whatsoever made in connection with the transaction evidenced by this Agreement. To the extent United States federal law permits contracting for, charging, taking, receiving or reserving a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, then such United States federal law will be relied upon instead of Texas law for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, if and to the extent any Indebtedness is determined to exist under this Agreement by a court of competent jurisdiction, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Bank may, at its option and from time to time utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under Texas law or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Seller as provided by such applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

10.20 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER WAREHOUSE DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF BANK IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

10.21 Joint and Several Liability. The liability of all Persons obligated to Bank in any manner under this Agreement shall be joint and several.

Seller and Bank each acknowledges and agrees that there are risks associated with the use of electronic transmission and that neither Party controls the method of transmittal or third party service providers and that neither party has any obligation or responsibility whatsoever and assumes no duty or obligation for the security, receipt, or third party interception of such transmissions.

10.24 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be responsible for any failure or delay of its performance hereunder by reason of fire, flood or other natural disasters, lockout, acts of public enemy, riot, insurrection or any interruption, failure or defects in internet, telephone or other interconnection service or in electronic or mechanical equipment or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party (“Force Majeure Event”). During the duration of any Force Majeure Event, each affected Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such Force Majeure Event and will take reasonable steps to resume its performance under this Agreement with the least possible delay.

10.25 Limitation of Liability. Neither Bank nor any other Indemnified Party shall have any liability with respect to, and Seller hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by Seller in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Warehouse Document, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Warehouse Document.

Pursuant to that certain Mortgage Warehouse Agreement entered into as of JULY 29, 2020 by Bank and Seller, as may have been amended or modified from time to time (the “Warehouse Agreement”), Bank has agreed, on a discretionary basis, to purchase Participation Interests in various Mortgage Loans subject to the terms and conditions of the Warehouse Agreement.

B. As partial consideration for Bank entering into the Warehouse Agreement and/or for Bank to now or hereafter elect to purchase Participation Interests subject to the terms and conditions of the Warehouse Agreement, Seller has agreed, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Pledge Agreement, to assign and pledge to Bank, and grant Bank a security interest in and to, the Collateral described herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the matters set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Warehouse Agreement. In addition, as used in this Pledge Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

“Collateral” shall mean: (a) all right, title and interest of Seller in and to each depository and other account established by Seller at Bank related to the Warehouse Agreement, and all funds therein contained and all earnings thereon and proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, the Accounts more particularly described on Schedule 1 attached hereto (collectively, the “Accounts”); and (b) any and all other property included in the definition of “Collateral” as such term is defined in the Warehouse Agreement, but specifically excluding any servicing or escrow accounts relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, Collateral shall specifically not include any corporate, custodial or other accounts of Seller held at Bank that do not relate to the Warehouse Agreement.

“Secured Obligations” shall mean the Repurchase/Sale Obligations and any and all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Seller to Bank of any kind or character under the Warehouse Agreement or any other Warehouse Document, now existing or

hereafter arising, whether direct, indirect, related, unrelated, fixed, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several or joint and several.

2. Seller hereby pledges and assigns and grants to Bank a continuing security interest in and to the Collateral to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Secured Obligations.

3. If any Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then Bank may enforce this Pledge Agreement in any manner provided hereunder or at Law or in equity or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Bank may, at its discretion, apply or use any cash held in the Accounts (to the extent of the withdraw value of each Account), and any cash proceeds received by Bank in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, towards the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations (provided that Seller shall continue to be liable for any unsatisfied portion of the Secured Obligations). Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, Bank may proceed against the Collateral without exhausting its remedies against any Person liable under or with respect to the Warehouse Agreement or any other Warehouse Document or against any other security therefor, whether in court, by foreclosure, by private sale or otherwise, at which Bank may be a purchaser, and without making any election.

4. Except for Liens in favor of Bank: (a) as of the Effective Date, no Lien exists on any of the Collateral; and (b) at all times on and after the Effective Date, Seller will not create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien on any of the Collateral.

5. Nothing in this Pledge Agreement shall be construed as requiring Bank to enforce this Pledge Agreement. Bank’s failure to do so on one or more occasions shall not affect Bank’s right so to do; nor will enforcement of this Pledge Agreement for less than the full value of any Account impair the effectiveness of this Pledge Agreement as to the remaining value thereof. Bank may elect to enforce its rights under the Warehouse Agreement or any other Warehouse Document without resort to the remedies provided in this Pledge Agreement.

6. Bank expressly agrees that at such time as the duties and obligations of Seller under the Warehouse Agreement have been performed and satisfied without the necessity of Bank exercising its rights hereunder or any other Warehouse Document, and no defense against the duties and obligations under the Warehouse Agreement or any other Warehouse Document or adverse claims of ownership to any security therefor is being asserted, then this Pledge shall be released in writing by Bank.

7. From and after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Seller authorizes Bank, at Bank’s option, to collect and receive any and all sums becoming due upon the Collateral, such sums to be held by Bank without liability for interest thereon and applied toward the Secured Obligations. Subject to the terms hereof and the Warehouse Agreement, Bank shall have the full control of each Account until it is released in accordance herewith. All interest, if any, earned on the Accounts prior to an Event of Default shall be paid to Seller.

8. Reserved.

9. Bank, in addition to the rights and remedies provided for in the preceding paragraphs, shall have all other rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and shall have the common law rights of set off and banker’s lien, and Bank shall be entitled to avail itself of all such other rights and remedies as may be now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity for the performance of the Secured Obligations, and the foreclosure of the security interest created hereby and the resort to any remedy provided hereunder or provided by the UCC, or by any other Law of the State of Texas, shall not prevent the concurrent exercise or enforcement of any other appropriate remedy or remedies.

10. The requirement of reasonable notice to Seller of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral, or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made, shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Seller at the notice address set forth in the Warehouse Agreement, at least ten (10) days before the date of any public sale or at least ten (10) days before the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made.

11. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed as requiring Bank to enforce this security or to resort to the security hereof in any particular manner excluding other rights or remedies. Bank’s failure to enforce this security in any fashion on one or more occasions shall not affect its right so to do; nor will enforcement hereof for less than the full extent or value of the Account impair the effectiveness of the security hereof as to any remaining value or interest thereof. Bank may proceed first to enforce the Secured Obligations without resort to the remedies provided in this Pledge Agreement; in such event the terms of the Warehouse Agreement and the other Warehouse Documents alone shall be controlling and no provisions hereof shall be construed as requiring Bank to perform any condition precedent to the enforcement of such duties and obligations and the security therefor against any and all Persons liable therefor nor prevent the continued holding of the Accounts or other Collateral and the collection of sums thereunder for proper application to the duties and obligations of the Warehouse Agreement.

12. Bank may remedy any Event of Default, without waiving the same, or may waive any Event of Default without waiving any prior or subsequent Event of Default.

13. The security interest herein created shall not be affected by or affect any other security taken for the performance of the duties or obligations under the Warehouse Agreement hereby secured, or any part thereof, and any extensions may be made for the performance of such duties and obligations without affecting the priority of this Pledge Agreement or the validity thereof. Bank and its successors shall not be limited by any election of remedies if it chooses to foreclose this security interest by suit. The right to sell under the terms hereof shall also exist cumulative with said suit and one method shall not bar the other, but both may be exercised at the same or different times; provided, however, that one shall not be a defense to the other.

14. Seller represents to and covenants and agrees with Bank that Seller will at any time or from time to time, upon the written request of Bank, execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Bank may reasonably specify for the purpose of further assurance and of effecting the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, and otherwise do any and all

things and acts whatsoever which Bank may reasonably request in order to perfect this Pledge Agreement and the security interests created thereby.

15. The law governing this Pledge Agreement shall be the UCC and other applicable laws of the State of Texas, and this Pledge Agreement shall be performable in Collin County, Texas. Except as otherwise provided herein, all terms used herein which, are defined in the Texas Business and Commerce Code shall have the same meaning herein as in said Code.

16. If any clause or provision of this Pledge Agreement is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, under present or future Laws effective during the term hereof, then it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Pledge Agreement shall not be affected thereby. It is also the intention of the parties hereto that in lieu of each clause or provision that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Pledge Agreement a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

17. The Accounts are delivered herewith or are authorized to be held by Bank.

18. The term of this Pledge Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall expire ten (10) days after the date on which: (a) the Warehouse Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms; and (b) all of the Secured Obligations, and all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities (if any) secured hereby, have been fully satisfied, paid and performed. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon Seller and inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors and assigns. Seller may not transfer or assign its duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Bank.

19. The liability of all Persons obligated to Bank in any manner under this Pledge Agreement shall be joint and several. If more than one Person shall execute this Pledge Agreement as “Seller”, then the term “Seller” as used herein shall refer both to each such Person individually and to all such Persons collectively.

20. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER WAREHOUSE DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

RECITALS

A. Seller and Bank have executed that certain Mortgage Warehouse Agreement (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Warehouse Agreement”) entered into as of even date herewith, relating to Bank’s discretionary purchase from time to time of Participation Interests from Seller in Mortgage Loans. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Warehouse Agreement.

B. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warehouse Agreement, Seller shall sell, transfer, assign and convey to Bank a Participation Interest in each Mortgage Loan and Mortgage Loan Document related thereto in which Bank elects to purchase a Participation Interest under the Warehouse Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, recitals and the agreements contained in this Agreement and the Warehouse Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Seller and Bank agree after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under the Warehouse Agreement as follows:

1. Seller does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally sell, transfer, assign and convey to Bank any and all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Participation Interests in Mortgage Loans now or hereafter purchased by Bank from Seller pursuant to the terms of the Warehouse Agreement. With respect to any Participation Interest purchased by Bank from Seller under the Warehouse Agreement, the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance by Seller to Bank of all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Participation Interest in such Mortgage Loan shall be automatically effective, and shall be deemed conclusively to have occurred as of the Purchase Date for such Participation Interest, without further action by either party hereto, by operation of the applicable terms and provisions of the Warehouse Agreement.

2. Bank may from time to time append and attach hereto as Schedule A (the “Participation Interest Schedule”) information identifying each Participated Mortgage Loan and Bank’s Participation Interest therein (“Participation Interest Information”), which Participation Interest Information may include with respect to each Participated Mortgage Loan: (a) the name

of the related Borrower; (b) the principal amount of the Participated Mortgage Loan; (c) the related Purchase Date; (d) Bank’s related Participation Percentage; (e) Seller’s related Retained Percentage; (f) a description of the related Residential Real Property; and (g) the recording information for the related Security Instrument. In addition, upon any repurchase of a Participation Interest by Seller pursuant to the terms of the Warehouse Agreement, Bank shall assign such Participation Interest back to Seller and take whatever other action is necessary in order to effectuate such transfer back to Seller Bank may, and shall upon any repurchase of a Participation Interest from Seller, from time to time attach hereto an updated Participation Interest Schedule which reflects the then-current Participation Interest Information (and immediately record such updated schedule if this Agreement has been previously recorded pursuant to paragraph 3 below).

3. Bank may at any time elect to record this Agreement (with a corresponding Participation Interest Schedule) in any real property records of any jurisdiction deemed appropriate from time to time by Bank. However, any failure by Bank to so record this Agreement shall not limit, impair or otherwise affect the provisions of the Warehouse Agreement or this Agreement. If Bank at any time requires additional executed originals of this Agreement in order to effect the recording of this Agreement (with any corresponding Participation Interest Schedule) in any jurisdiction deemed appropriate by Bank or for any other reason, Seller shall promptly upon request by Bank execute additional originals of this Agreement as and when required by Bank, and Bank may execute additional copies of this Agreement on Seller’s behalf, as Seller’s attorney-in-fact, pursuant to any power of attorney granted to Bank by Seller under the Warehouse Agreement or any other Warehouse Document. For the avoidance of doubt, any power of attorney granted to Bank by Seller under any Warehouse Document shall only be effective following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Warehouse Agreement.

4. The liability of all Persons obligated to Bank in any manner under this Agreement shall be joint and several. If more than one Person shall execute this Addendum as “Seller”, then the term “Seller” as used herein shall refer both to each such Person individually and to all such Persons collectively.

5. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Seller and Bank. Neither party hereto may sell, assign or transfer any right, title or interest hereunder except in accordance with the Warehouse Agreement or with the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Further, Seller shall not sell, assign or transfer any right, title or interest in the Participated Mortgage Loans in violation of any applicable provisions of the Warehouse Agreement.

6. This Agreement may be executed in several identical counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original instrument, and all such separate counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

7. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto have duly executed and delivered this Agreement effective as of the Effective Date.
