Section 2.02. Note
(a)The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) hereto (the “Note”), dated the date hereof, payable to the Lender in a principal amount not to exceed an amount equal to the Available Facility Amount as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.
(b)The date, amount, and interest rate of each Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note, noted by the Lender on the grid attached to the Note or any continuation thereof, provided, that failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount hereunder or under the Note in respect of the Loans.
Section 2.03. Borrower Electronic Files and Funding Requests
(a)On any Funding Notice Date prior to the Wind Down Date, the Borrower may request the Lender to make a Loan on the Funding Date specified in the related Borrower Funding Request by delivering to the Lender an irrevocable Borrower Funding Request no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Funding Notice Date.

(c)In Lender’s determination of Collateral Value for any of the Servicing Rights hereunder, it shall apply the MSR Value of the Servicing Rights in a related Borrowing Base Report. Any excess of the amount funded on such Loan over the Collateral Value shall result in a Borrowing Base Deficiency as set forth in Section 2.08(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.03, the Lender shall have the right to determine MSR Value at any time in its sole good faith discretion.
(d)By delivering a Borrower Funding Request, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that, after taking into account the amount of the requested Loan, all conditions precedent to such Loan specified in Section 5.02 have been satisfied.

Section 2.04. Borrowing Base Reports
With respect to each Funding Date, the Lender shall determine in good faith the MSR Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights to be pledged as security for a Loan on such Funding Date. For purposes of preparing each Borrowing Base Report, the Lender shall calculate the Collateral Value of the Eligible Servicing Rights described in the Relevant Electronic File.
Section 2.05. Interest
Interest shall accrue on the Loans for each day during a related Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the product of (x) the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount on such day, multiplied by (y) the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the Benchmark for such day and (b) the Floor plus (ii) the Applicable Margin. Interest shall be payable on each Monthly Settlement Date in arrears with respect to each Loan through the final day of each Interest Period (regardless whether such day is a Business Day), such amount to be payable on each Monthly Settlement Date. The Lender shall determine the Benchmark for the Loans, which shall be reset on a daily basis, as set forth in the definition of “Benchmark” and provide notice of such determination to the Borrower. The Lender shall also calculate the amount of interest or other amounts due to be paid by the Borrower from time to time hereunder (including in connection with any prepayment or repayment of Loans permitted hereunder) and shall provide a written statement thereof to the Borrower at least two Business Days prior to the due date of such payments (or the relevant repayment or prepayment after having received a notice thereof); provided, that failure to provide such statements on a timely basis shall not relieve the Borrower of the obligation to pay any interest and principal due on the applicable payment date (based upon its good faith calculation of the amount due, such amount to be promptly reconciled after receipt of a subsequent statement from the Lender) and other such amounts hereunder promptly upon receipt of such statement.
Section 2.06. Increased Capital Costs. If Lender determines in its sole discretion that any Change in Law or any change in accounting rules regarding capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital under this Agreement as a consequence of such Change in Law or change in accounting rules, then from time to time and upon demand by Lender Borrower will compensate Lender for such reduced rate of return suffered as a consequence of such Change in Law or change in accounting rules on terms similar to those imposed by Lender. Further, if due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by Lender with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement, or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority whether or not having the force of law, there shall be an increase in the cost to Lender as a consequence of the Loans or other advances of funds made by Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents relating to fundings or commitments under this Agreement, then Borrower shall, from time to time and upon demand by Lender, compensate Lender for such increased costs, and such amounts shall be deemed a part of the Obligations hereunder. Lender shall provide Borrower with notice as to any such Change in Law, change in accounting rules or change in compliance promptly following Lender’s receipt of actual knowledge thereof.
Section 2.07. Effect of Benchmark Transition Event
(a)Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Facility Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Lender and Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document so long as the Lender has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lender. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Loan to be made or continued hereunder that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Lender that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark.
(b)In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments

implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(c)The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lender of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
(d)Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender or Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.07.
Section 2.08. Mandatory Repayment of Loans
.
(a)On each Loan Repayment Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day), and continuing until the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount shall be reduced to zero, the Borrower shall repay an amount equal to at least one-twelfth (1/12) of the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount as of the Wind Down Date with respect to all Loans and all other amounts due under this Agreement. Loans may be prepaid in accordance with the terms of Section 2.09 hereof and, to the extent prepaid, provided the Wind Down Date shall not have occurred, may be re-borrowed hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof (including satisfaction of all conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts owing under the Facility shall be immediately due and payable on the Termination Date.
(b)If, on any Business Day (a “Borrowing Base Shortfall Day”), the Lender provides written notice to the Borrower that the Lender has determined in its sole reasonable discretion based on the Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered by the Lender pursuant to Section 2.04 that the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount on such day exceeds the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Available Facility Amount on such day (such circumstance, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), the Borrower (i) on the same day if the Lender notifies Borrower by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, or (ii) if the notice is received later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time), then within one (1) Business Day after the Borrowing Base Shortfall Day, shall repay outstanding Loans (including accrued Interest thereon), in an amount equal to the amount of the Borrowing Base Deficiency specified in the notice provided to the Borrower by the Lender (such requirement a “Margin Call”).
Section 2.09. Optional Prepayment
The Borrower may, at its option, prepay any Loan advanced hereunder without penalty in full or in part without penalty on any Business Day in any month (each an “Optional Prepayment Date”); provided that, the Borrower may, within ninety (90) days of the Lender’s notification of the Benchmark Replacement,
(A) give notice to the Lender (with reasonable corroborative evidence upon request by the Lender) that the Benchmark Replacement is materially different from the successor rate of interest implemented by the majority of financial institutions similar to the Lender for assets similar to the Collateral in facilities in the United States similar to this Agreement and (B) elect to prepay all Loans advanced hereunder together with any other amounts then due and payable hereunder and terminate this Agreement without penalty or premium on an elected Optional Prepayment Date that is on or after the date the Benchmark Replacement is effective. Any such prepayment received by the Lender by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Optional Prepayment Date shall be applied by the Lender on such Business Day. Any such prepayment received by the Lender after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Optional Prepayment Date shall be applied by the Lender on the following Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, any optional prepayment in full shall not result in the termination of this Agreement unless such termination is declared in writing by the Borrower, acting in its discretion.

Section 3.02. Taxes
(a)All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which the Lender is organized or of its applicable lending office, or a state or foreign jurisdiction with respect to which Lender has a present or former connection (other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being party to, engaging in any transaction pursuant to, performing its obligations under or enforcing any Facility Document), or any political subdivision thereof (collectively, such non-excluded taxes are hereinafter called “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Borrower for its own account not later than the date when due. If Borrower is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due, (c) deliver to the Lender, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Lender of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3(d) below, pay to the Lender such additional amounts (including all taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on such additional amounts) as may be necessary so that the Lender receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.

¶Lender shall have provided Borrower with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.
(d)Any Lender that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Foreign Purchaser”) shall provide

(e)Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 3 shall require Lender to make available any of their tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.
(f)The Lender shall (A) promptly notify the Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) cooperate, in its reasonable discretion and at Borrower’s expense, with Borrower to mitigate any requirement of Applicable Law of any jurisdiction in which the Borrower may be required to withhold or deduct any taxes from amounts payable to Lender hereunder.
Section 3.03. Fees and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel) incurred in connection with the execution of this Agreement (and any amendments thereto) and the Facility Documents.

(b)The Borrower also authorizes the Lender, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 8.02(c) hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; provided that the exercise of such powers is in accordance with the Acknowledgment Agreements.
(c)The powers conferred on the Lender are solely to protect the Lender’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Lender nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to the Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)Automatic Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(l) or Section 8.01(m) the Facility shall be automatically terminated and the Loans and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such event, without demand or notice of any kind.
(c)Remedies. Upon any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Lender, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, shall have all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative. The Borrower agrees, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and notice from the Lender, to assemble, at its expense, all of the Collateral that is in its possession (whether by return, repossession, or otherwise) at a place designated by the Lender. All out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Lender in the collection of all Obligations, and the enforcement of its rights hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, shall be paid out of the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without notice, advertisement, hearing or process of law of any kind, (i) enter upon any premises where any of the Collateral which is in the possession of the Borrower (whether by return, repossession, or otherwise) may be located and take

possession of and remove such Collateral, (ii) sell any or all of such Collateral, free of all rights and claims of the Borrower therein and thereto, at any public or private sale, and (iii) bid for and purchase any or all of such Collateral at any such sale.

The Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notices, advertisements, hearings or process of law in connection with the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Each of the Lender and the Borrower shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bid for and purchase any or all Collateral at any public or private sale. The Borrower hereby agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral, the Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including, without limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority, and the Borrower further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

(d)In the event that Borrower receives a notice from an Agency indicating a material breach, material default or material non-compliance by the Borrower that the Lender reasonably determines may entitle such Agency to terminate the Borrower, which breach, default or non-compliance has not been satisfactorily cured or remedied within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by the Borrower of such notice, or such lesser time as Lender believes is necessary to protect its interest and provides Borrower with written notice thereof, as the case may be, the Lender may by written notice to the Borrower, terminate the Facility and declare all Loans and all other Obligations to be immediately due and payable.
(e)¶Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the exercise of rights and remedies under this Section 8.02(e) shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Freddie Mac Requirements. Freddie Mac shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 8.02(e) and shall be entitled to rely upon this Section 8.02(e) in all respects.
Section 8.03. Collection Account; Application of Proceeds
(a)Collection Account. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Lender shall have established at Bank, in the name of the Lender a non-interest bearing segregated special purpose trust account (such account being herein called the “Collection Account”). The Borrower will maintain the Collection Account only with a bank acceptable to the Lender. Upon a default hereunder, the Borrower shall deposit all Collections (other than the Freddie Mac Minimum Servicing Compensation and Excluded Collateral) by it into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. To the extent at any time, Borrower deposits Freddie Mac Minimum Servicing Compensation or Excluded Collateral into the Collection Account, Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw such Freddie Mac Minimum Servicing Compensation or Excluded Collateral from the Collection Account.
(b)Distributions Prior to an Event of Default. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Borrower may withdraw amounts on deposit in the Collection Account at any time.

On each Business Day during which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Lender shall apply Collections in the following order:
(i)to pay to the Lender, any fees due pursuant to the terms hereof;
(ii)to pay to the Lender or any Indemnified Party an amount equal to any other amounts (including the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount) then due to such Persons pursuant to this Agreement that have not

been paid by the Borrower (and to the extent that there are insufficient funds to pay all of the foregoing amounts, such amount shall be distributed to the foregoing parties, pro rata in accordance with the amounts due to such parties); and
(iii)to pay any remaining amounts to the Borrower by transferring such amount to the account specified in writing by the Borrower.

All amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if the Lender had not sold such participating interests. The Borrower and the Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with each other in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under the Facility Documents.

ARTICLE X INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.01. Indemnities by the Borrower
Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, the Lender, its Affiliates, successors, permitted transferees and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, the Freddie Mac Acknowledgment Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) in the event that the Lender has assigned its rights or delegated its obligations in respect of this Agreement, and the Indemnified Amounts with respect to such assignee exceed the Indemnified Amounts that would otherwise have been payable by the Borrower to the Lender, the amount of such excess, (c) taxes expressly excluded from Taxes in Section 3.02(a) above (other than any such Taxes that are incremental and arise solely by reason of a breach by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement), and (d) any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages of any Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Lender in connection with any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Collateral, the Borrower will save, indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by the Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the Borrower.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the obligation of the Borrower under the Note is a recourse obligation of the Borrower. Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable to the Borrower for any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
Section 10.02. General Provisions
If for any reason the indemnification provided above in Section 10.01 (and subject to the limitations on indemnification contained therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless on the basis of public policy, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

“Client Money Distribution Rules”) will not apply to these sums and so you will not be entitled to share in any distribution under the Client Money Distribution Rules.
