EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Finance of America Companies Inc.’s (the “Company”), filed on April 1, 2021 (the “Original Report”), in which the Company reported, among other events, the completion of the Business Combination (as defined in the Original Report). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Original Report.

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2021, on May 5, 2021, the Company’s management and Audit Committee concluded that certain previously filed historical financial information of Replay, which is now a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company following the Business Combination should no longer be relied upon. The purpose of this Amendment is to: (1) replace the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Original Report with the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment (the “Updated Pro Forma Financial Information”); (2) include the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment; (3) include Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Amendment; and (4) to include Exhibits 10.20.4, 10.20.5 and 10.21.4 to this Amendment, which replace Exhibits 10.20.4, 10.20.5 and 10.21.4, respectively, to the Original Report. The Updated Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical restated audited consolidated financial statements of Replay as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the accompanying notes, which are included in Amendment No. 1 to Replay’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed May 17, 2021, which are incorporated by reference herein; and (ii) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the accompanying notes, which are included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Report and incorporated by reference herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Amendment may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. The Company’s forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding its or its management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “appear,” “approximate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions (or the negative version of such words or expressions) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Amendment may include, for example, statements about:

the expected benefits of the Business Combination;
the Company’s financial performance following the Business Combination;
--- ---
changes in the Company’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses,<br>projected costs, margins, cash flows, prospects and plans;
--- ---
the impact of health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on the<br>Company’s business and the actions the Company may take in response thereto;
--- ---
expansion plans and opportunities; and
--- ---
the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings.
--- ---

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Amendment, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any subsequent date, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, the Company’s actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:

the risk that the recently consummated Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company;<br>
the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among<br>other things, competition and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably;
--- ---
costs related to the Business Combination;
--- ---
changes in applicable laws or regulations;
--- ---
the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business;<br>
--- ---
the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive<br>factors;
--- ---
the inability to maintain the listing of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock on the NYSE; and<br>
--- ---
other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in<br>the Original Report.

For the sake of clarity, Seller shall ensure that such Repurchase Price (including without limitation any related expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith) is remitted directly to Buyer and not pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Any cash remitted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be credited and applied to the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset and any other amounts then due and payable by Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset.

(ii) Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to send a Repurchase Notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan shall not in any way limit or impair its right to send a Repurchase Notice at a later time.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event~~of~~that a Concentration Limit ~~Issue~~is exceeded with respect to any Purchased Asset, then the Asset Value thereof shall automatically be reduced to zero and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice in which case Section 3(f)(i) above shall apply, (ii) reduce the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset to a lower percentage, which may be zero, in which case Section 4 hereof shall apply, or (iii) require Seller to contribute additional Eligible Mortgage Loans to ensure they are in compliance with the Concentration Limit.

(g) LIBOR Rate Breakage Costs. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 16 hereof, the Seller agrees that if any Repurchase Price is paid other than in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan and such Repurchase Price is paid on a date other than on a Remittance Date, the Seller shall, upon demand by the Buyer, pay to the Buyer any such amounts as are reasonable to compensate the Buyer for any additional losses (not including lost profits), costs or expenses which the Buyer may incur as a result of such payments, including, without limitation, any hedge breakage costs.

(h) Alternative Rate. If prior to any Remittance Date, Buyer determines in its sole discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the LIBOR Rate is no longer in existence, or the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer may give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

Section 4. Margin Amount Maintenance.

(a) At any time a Margin Deficit in excess of the Minimum Margin Threshold exists, then Buyer may, by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee, cash or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, additional Eligible Mortgage Loans (the “Additional Purchased Assets”) in an amount (or Asset Value, in the case of Additional Purchased Assets) sufficient to eliminate the Margin Deficit (a “Margin Payment”).

32

(b) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. Any Margin Deficit notice given before [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Payment received, no later than [***] (New York City time) on the following Business Day. If notice is made after [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Margin Payment shall be received by Buyer at [***] (New York City time) on the [***].

(c) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its failure to send a Margin Call notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan, or at any time there exists a Margin Deficit, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date, or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(d) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

Section 5. Income Payments.

(b) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued and unpaid Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) on the Payment Date. If Seller fails to pay all or part of the Price Differential then due by [***] (New York time) on any Payment Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential then due is received in full by Buyer.

(c) Seller shall, and shall cause Servicer to, hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income, including, without limitation, all Income received by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall cause the Servicer to deposit all such Income received on account of the Purchased Assets serviced or managed by Servicer in the related servicer account, in accordance with the applicable Servicer Notice. To the extent that Seller is holding any Income, Seller shall deposit such Income on receipt into the Collection Account. To the extent such deposits are insufficient to cover the full Price Differential due on the next Payment Date, Seller shall deposit funds into the Collection Account sufficient to cover such shortfall.

(d) Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to the Collection Account all Income held in the related servicer account (such instruction shall be set forth in the Servicer Notice and shall be irrevocable without the prior written consent of Buyer) no later than, [***] following receipt in the servicer account. All Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer except for tax purposes which shall be treated as income and property of Seller and when deposited into the servicer account and Collection Account, respectively, shall not be commingled with other property of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

33

(e) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be applied (x) with respect to Principal Income only, each Weekly Payment Date, pursuant to clauses (D), (E) and (F) below and (y) with respect to all other Income, each Payment Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as follows:

(A) first, to Custodian on account of any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and to Payment Agent and Calculation Agent on account of any accrued and unpaid fees, unless Seller is paying such fees directly;

(B) second, to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Payment Date;

(C) third, to Buyer on account of unpaid fees, expenses, LIBOR Rate breakage costs, indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to the Buyer from Seller under the Agreement;

(D) fourth, to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset, the amount of such Income representing Principal Income deposited into the Collection Account during such Collection Period with respect to such Purchased Asset to reduce the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset to zero;

(E) fifth, to pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Margin Deficit (after taking into account the application of funds pursuant to clause (D) above, and without limiting Seller’s obligation to satisfy a Margin Deficit in a timely manner as required by Section 4);

(F) sixth, all remaining amounts (if any), to the Seller.

(f) Reserved.

(g) To the extent that Buyer receives any funds from a Take-out Investor with respect to the purchase by such Take-out Investor of a Mortgage Loan (“Disposition Proceeds”), the Buyer shall promptly apply such funds to the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loans purchased by such Take-out Investor, any Margin Deficit, and shall promptly remit any excess to Seller.

(h) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred, all funds in the Collection Account shall be withdrawn and applied as determined by Buyer.

Section 6. Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

34

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

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

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

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

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

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

Section 7. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount

35

deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 7) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within [***] after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) 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.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

36

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Buyer.

37

If Buyer has provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) above and the form provided by Buyer either at the time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the Effective Date) a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f) For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 7 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer, or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

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

38

Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Security Interest. On the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets to the extent of its rights therein. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges on the date hereof to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Seller’s rights, title and interest in the Purchased Assets, the Records, all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets (to the extent of Seller’s rights therein), all Take-out Commitments, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Mortgage Loan or any related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, any Income relating to any Purchased Asset, the aggregate Holdback Amount, the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account, the Servicing Agreements, and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Assets or any interest in the Purchased Assets and the Mortgage Loans, as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Asset Detail and Exception Report, and any proceeds and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, on or prior to the related Repurchase Date. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem reasonable and appropriate. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

The grants of security interest set forth in this Section are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Section 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

39

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller, and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby give Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller without assent by, but with notice to, Seller if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i) in the name of Seller or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any other Repurchase Assets and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Repurchase Assets whenever payable;

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

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Repurchase Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, any payment agent with respect to any Repurchase Asset; (B) to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of Seller and Servicer; (C) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Repurchase Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Repurchase Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Repurchase Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Repurchase Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Repurchase Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Repurchase Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit J hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof. Seller and Buyer acknowledges that the Powers of Attorney shall terminate on the later of (a) the Termination Date and (b) the satisfaction in full of the Obligations.

40

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 15 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets.

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

Section 9. Payment, Transfer And Custody.

(a) Payments and Transfers of Funds. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer: [***], [***], Account No. [***], for the account of Nomura Corporate Funding Americas LLC, ABA No. [***], ref: Funds for FACO, not later than [***] New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

(b) Remittance of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (i) with respect to Purchased Assets which are not Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans, against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to such account as agreed to by Buyer and Seller, simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction., and (ii) with respect to Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans, upon the disbursement of funds by the Disbursement Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Disbursement Agent Agreement. Upon notice from the Settlement Agent to Seller and/or Buyer that any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction was not originated, the Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans and the Settlement Agent shall immediately return the funds via wire transfer to the account of Buyer specified in Section 9(a) in accordance with the Escrow Instruction Letter. Seller shall immediately notify Buyer if a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan was not originated and has been removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans.

Section  10. Hypothecation or Pledge of Purchased Assets. Title to all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets. In furtherance, and not by limitation of, the foregoing, it is acknowledged that each counterparty with which any

41

Buyer may engage in a transaction as contemplated hereunder is a repledgee as contemplated by Sections 9-207 and 9-623 of the UCC (and the relevant Official Comments thereunder). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller; provided, however, that Buyer is obligated to return the specific Purchased Assets upon repurchase by Seller.

Section 11. Fees. Seller shall pay to Buyer in immediately available funds, all fees due and owing as and when set forth in the Pricing Side Letter. The fees are non-refundable, and such payment shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account designated by Buyer.

Section 12. Representations. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the Purchase Date of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Facility Documents and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect:

(a) Acting as Principal. Seller will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal).

(b) Servicer Approval. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, Servicer has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(c) Solvency. Neither the Facility Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. The transfer of the Purchased Assets subject hereto is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) and the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant hereto (i) will not cause Seller to become insolvent, (ii) will not result in any property remaining with Seller to be unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets.

(d) No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Ability to Perform. Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in the Facility Documents to which it is a party on its part to be performed.

(f) Existence. Seller (a) is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing under the laws of Delaware, (b) is in good standing under the laws of Delaware, (c) has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals

42

would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Financial Statements. Seller has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of (a) the Financial Statements of B2R Finance L.P. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP and (b) consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets for Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such monthly periods up until April 31, 2017 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for Seller and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such monthly periods.

Section 15. Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs, the following rights and remedies are available to Buyer; provided, that an Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing:

(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Seller), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

(A) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subsection (a)(i) of this Section, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the Aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder, and (3) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control; and

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section.

(iii) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets related thereto which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in Facility Documents.

57

(iv) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, or Buyer through its Affiliates or designees, may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to retain such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets (as determined and adjusted by the Buyer in its sole discretion, giving such weight to the BPO Value or Appraised Value, as applicable, or outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset as Buyer deems appropriate) against the Aggregate Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Facility Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to the foregoing shall be applied as determined by Buyer.

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual expenses, including reasonable documented legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or hedging transactions, and (C) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Promptly upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide, at Seller’s cost, an updated BPO for each Purchased Asset.

(b) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. The Seller recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Seller agrees that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole good faith discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

58

(c) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(d) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

(e) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

Section 16. Indemnification and Expenses.

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of counsel, and Taxes relating to or arising in connection with the ownership of the Purchased Assets, but excluding any Taxes otherwise addressed in Section 7 of this Agreement) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any wire fraud or data or systems intrusions which causes Buyer to suffer any such liability, loss, damage, judgment, cost and/or expense, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt “Costs” shall include Taxes that represent losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless

59

from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Purchased Assets~~,~~, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

(b) Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith ~~in an amount not to exceed the Legal Expense Cap; provided that the Legal Expense Cap shall not apply if any extensive delays, unreasonable negotiations, unanticipatedissues or structural changes occur during such development, preparation or execution~~. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer which amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price paid for the first Transaction hereunder. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other document prepared in connection thereto. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 30 hereof, Seller agrees to pay Buyer all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller for purchase under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 16(b) and 19 hereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Payment Agent and Calculation Agent.

(c) The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

Section 17. Servicing.

(a) Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with one or more Servicers to service the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Servicers customarily require with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by such Servicers and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal

(c) Seller shall cause the Servicer and any interim servicer to deposit all collections received by Seller on account of the Purchased Assets in the Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b).

(d) As compensation for its services under the Servicing Agreement the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible to pay all the fees and expenses of the Servicer out of the Servicing Fee or its own funds.

(e) The Seller shall provide promptly to the Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Assets

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event, the Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s rights to service the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Servicer Notice.

(d) In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities.

Section 21. Transfer and Maintenance of Register.

Section 22. Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 23. Set-Off.

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller.

With respect to each Rental Loan, each related Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, vandalism, fire, hurricane, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty adversely affecting the value of a Mortgaged Property or the use for which the premises were intended, and each such Mortgaged Property is in substantially the same condition it was at the time the most recent Property Value was obtained.

(s) ~~(t)~~ No Condemnation. There is no proceeding pending or to the best of the Seller’s knowledge threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property.

(t) ~~(u)~~ Mortgagor. The related Mortgagor is not insolvent and is not a foreign

(u) ~~(v)~~ Consolidation of Principal Advances. Any principal advances made have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate reflected on the Asset Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the principal amount (as expressed on the related Mortgage Note which shall include, with respect to RTL Loans, the undisbursed Holdback Amount) is insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Buyer.

(v) ~~(w)~~ No Fraud. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, the Mortgagor, the appraiser, any servicer or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan or in connection with the sale of such Mortgage Loan to the Buyer.

(z) ~~(aa)~~ Hazard Insurance. The related Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by an insurer acceptable to Buyer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard

Sch. 1-5

mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and, to the extent such agreement is commercially available from the related insurer, may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee arising for any reason other than nonpayment of a premium. No such notice has been received by Seller. All currently due premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. To Seller’s knowledge, the hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. No Seller has engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(aa) ~~(bb)~~ Disbursement of Proceeds. Any and all requirements as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or any other related Mortgage Loan Document. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Seller pursuant to each Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith.

(bb) ~~(cc)~~ Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Buyer and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Buyer and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and

Sch. 1-6

remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(cc) ~~(dd)~~ No Defaults. As of the Purchase Date, (i) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any other related Mortgage Loan Document (including without limitation a failure by Seller to make an advance in accordance with the terms thereof to the related Mortgagor thereunder), and (ii) no event has occurred which would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. No Seller has waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the Mortgage Note or any other related Mortgage Loan Document.

(dd) ~~(ee)~~ No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage.

(ee) ~~(ff)~~ Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value or BPO Value, as applicable, of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation.

(ff) ~~(gg)~~ Underwriting Standards. Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, unless otherwise approved by Buyer.

(gg) ~~(hh)~~ Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. There is only one originally executed Mortgage Note not stamped as a duplicate with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

(hh) ~~(ii)~~No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement and chattel mortgage referred to in clause (i) above or other collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents. There are, as of origination date and as of the Purchase Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property, and equipment and other personal property financing). No mezzanine debt is secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(kk) ~~(ll)~~ No Equity Participation. No document relating to the Mortgage Loan provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property. The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor and no Seller has financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor.

(ll) ~~(mm)~~ Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan is either (x) full recourse against the related Mortgagor and/or natural person or (y) non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of any related Mortgaged Property, and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and (b) the Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

(mm) ~~(nn)~~ Single-Purpose Entity. With respect to each Mortgagor that is a Person other than an individual, each related non-recourse Mortgage Loan requires such Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any material assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any material indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

Sch. 1-8

(nn) ~~(oo)~~ Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan Documents do not provide for the release of any related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (b) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation or a material casualty, or (c) in connection with a substitution of collateral within the parameters specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

~~(rr) Reserved.~~

(qq) Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, the Settlement Agent has been instructed in writing by Seller to hold the related Mortgage Loan Documents as agent and bailee for Buyer and to promptly forward such Mortgage Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial Agreement and the Escrow Instruction Letter and Seller has confirmed receipt of a closing protection letter.

Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the related Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. No Seller is aware of any Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor on the Mortgage Loan having received notice of any noncompliance with any use or occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate with respect to any Mortgaged Property.

(uu) ~~(vv)~~ Mortgage Provisions.

(ww) Mortgage Recorded. The related Mortgage (or equivalent document) or other related collateral document creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above that may be perfected by recording.

(vi) With respect to any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction, on the related Purchase Date and on each Business Day following the related Purchase Date, no later than [***] (New York time), pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver to Buyer a schedule listing each Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan with respect to which the complete Asset File has not been received by the Custodian (the “Wet-Aged Report”).

(d) Optional Repurchase. Subject to the conditions herein, and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, Seller may cause the sale of Purchased Assets and effect an Optional Repurchase (as defined below) on any date in connection with such Optional Repurchase which is not made in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan. When the Mortgage Loans are desired to be sold or otherwise transferred or liquidated by Seller to a Take-Out Investor (an “Optional Repurchase”), for net sale proceeds that are equal or greater to the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loans, Seller shall give Buyer at least [***] prior written notice thereof designating the applicable Mortgage Loans and specifying the net sale proceeds expected from such sale. If such notice is given, Seller shall, or shall cause the Take-Out Investor to, make payment directly to the Buyer or the Collection Account (at Buyer’s determination) in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price.

29

(e) Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by reassignment to the Seller or their designee of the Purchased Assets (and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Mortgage Loan (but Liquidation Proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets on each Remittance Date except as otherwise provided herein). Seller is obligated to obtain the Asset Files from Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date.

(f) Mandatory Repurchase.

(i) If at any time there has occurred a Purchased Asset Issue with respect to any Purchased Asset, then the Asset Value thereof shall automatically be reduced to zero and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Repurchase Notice”), require Seller to repurchase such asset. In the case of a repurchase, such Seller, shall, at Buyer’s direction, be required to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan as soon as is practicable but, in any case, not more than [***] after Buyer has delivered such Repurchase Notice to Seller. Seller shall be required to notify Buyer as soon as is practicable after obtaining knowledge of any fact that could be the basis for any Purchased Asset Issue, but, in any case, not more than [***] after obtaining knowledge thereof. For the sake of clarity, Seller shall ensure that such Repurchase Price (including without limitation any related expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith) is remitted directly to Buyer and not pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Any cash remitted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be credited and applied to the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset and any other amounts then due and payable by Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset.

(ii) Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to send a Repurchase Notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan shall not in any way limit or impair its right to send a Repurchase Notice at a later time.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Concentration Limit is exceeded with respect to any Purchased Asset, then the Asset Value thereof shall automatically be reduced to zero and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice in which case Section 3(f)(i) above shall apply, (ii) reduce the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset to a lower percentage, which may be zero, in which case Section 4 hereof shall apply, or (iii) require Seller to contribute additional Eligible Mortgage Loans to ensure they are in compliance with the Concentration Limit.

(g) LIBOR Rate Breakage Costs. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 16 hereof, the Seller agrees that if any Repurchase Price is paid other than in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan and such Repurchase Price is paid on a date other than on a Remittance Date, the Seller shall, upon demand by the Buyer, pay to the Buyer any such amounts as are reasonable to compensate the Buyer for any additional losses (not including lost profits), costs or expenses which the Buyer may incur as a result of such payments, including, without limitation, any hedge breakage costs.

30

(h) Alternative Rate. If prior to any Remittance Date, Buyer determines in its sole discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the LIBOR Rate is no longer in existence, or the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer may give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

Section 4. Margin Amount Maintenance.

(a) At any time a Margin Deficit in excess of the Minimum Margin Threshold exists, then Buyer may, by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee, cash or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, additional Eligible Mortgage Loans (the “Additional Purchased Assets”) in an amount (or Asset Value, in the case of Additional Purchased Assets) sufficient to eliminate the Margin Deficit (a “Margin Payment”).

(b) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. Any Margin Deficit notice given before [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Payment received, no later than [***] (New York City time) on the following Business Day. If notice is made after [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Margin Payment shall be received by Buyer at [***] (New York City time) on the [***].

(c) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its failure to send a Margin Call notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan, or at any time there exists a Margin Deficit, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date, or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(d) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

Section 5. Income Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued and unpaid Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) on the Payment Date. If Seller fails to pay all or part of the Price Differential then due by [***] (New York time) on any Payment Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential then due is received in full by Buyer.

31

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause Servicer to, hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income, including, without limitation, all Income received by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall cause the Servicer to deposit all such Income received on account of the Purchased Assets serviced or managed by Servicer in the related servicer account, in accordance with the applicable Servicer Notice. To the extent that Seller is holding any Income, Seller shall deposit such Income on receipt into the Collection Account. To the extent such deposits are insufficient to cover the full Price Differential due on the next Payment Date, Seller shall deposit funds into the Collection Account sufficient to cover such shortfall.

(c) Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to the Collection Account all Income held in the related servicer account (such instruction shall be set forth in the Servicer Notice and shall be irrevocable without the prior written consent of Buyer) no later than, [***] following receipt in the servicer account. All Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer except for tax purposes which shall be treated as income and property of Seller and when deposited into the servicer account and Collection Account, respectively, shall not be commingled with other property of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

(d) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be applied (x) with respect to Principal Income only, each Weekly Payment Date, pursuant to clauses (D), (E) and (F) below and (y) with respect to all other Income, each Payment Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as follows:

(A) first, to Custodian on account of any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and to Payment Agent and Calculation Agent on account of any accrued and unpaid fees, unless Seller is paying such fees directly;

(B) second, to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Payment Date;

(C) third, to Buyer on account of unpaid fees, expenses, LIBOR Rate breakage costs, indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to the Buyer from Seller under the Agreement;

(D) fourth, to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset, the amount of such Income representing Principal Income deposited into the Collection Account during such Collection Period with respect to such Purchased Asset to reduce the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset to zero;

(E) fifth, to pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Margin Deficit (after taking into account the application of funds pursuant to clause (D) above, and without limiting Seller’s obligation to satisfy a Margin Deficit in a timely manner as required by Section 4);

(F) sixth, all remaining amounts (if any), to the Seller.

(e) Reserved.

32

(f) To the extent that Buyer receives any funds from a Take-out Investor with respect to the purchase by such Take-out Investor of a Mortgage Loan (“Disposition Proceeds”), the Buyer shall promptly apply such funds to the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loans purchased by such Take-out Investor, any Margin Deficit, and shall promptly remit any excess to Seller.

(g) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred, all funds in the Collection Account shall be withdrawn and applied as determined by Buyer.

Section 6. Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

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

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

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

33

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

Section 7. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 7) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within [***] after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

34

(e) For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) 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.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

35

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Buyer.

If Buyer has provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) above and the form provided by Buyer either at the time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the Effective Date) a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non- Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f) For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 7 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer, or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

36

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

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

Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Security Interest. On the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets to the extent of its rights therein. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges on the date hereof to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Seller’s rights, title and interest in the Purchased Assets, the Records, all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets (to the extent of Seller’s rights therein), all Take-out Commitments, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Mortgage Loan or any related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance, any Income relating to any Purchased Asset, the aggregate Holdback Amount, the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account, the Servicing Agreements, and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Assets or any interest in the Purchased Assets and the Mortgage Loans, as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Asset Detail and Exception Report, and any proceeds and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, on or prior to the related Repurchase Date. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem reasonable and appropriate. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

37

The grants of security interest set forth in this Section are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Section 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller, and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby give Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller without assent by, but with notice to, Seller if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i) in the name of Seller or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any other Repurchase Assets and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Repurchase Assets whenever payable;

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

(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Repurchase Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, any payment agent with respect to any Repurchase Asset; (B) to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of Seller and Servicer; (C) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Repurchase Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Repurchase Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Repurchase Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Repurchase Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Repurchase Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Repurchase Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

38

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit J hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof. Seller and Buyer acknowledges that the Powers of Attorney shall terminate on the later of (a) the Termination Date and (b) the satisfaction in full of the Obligations.

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 15 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets.

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

Section 9. Payment, Transfer And Custody.

(a) Payments and Transfers of Funds. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer: [***], [***], Account No. [***], for the account of Nomura Corporate Funding Americas LLC, ABA No. [***], ref: Funds for FACO, not later than [***] New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

(b) Remittance of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (i) with respect to Purchased Assets which are not Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans, against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to such account as agreed to by Buyer and Seller, simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction, and (ii) with respect to Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans, upon the disbursement of funds by the Disbursement Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Disbursement Agent Agreement. Upon notice from the Settlement Agent to Seller and/or Buyer that any Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction was not originated, the Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans and the Settlement Agent shall immediately return the funds via wire transfer to the account of Buyer specified in Section 9(a) in accordance with the Escrow Instruction Letter. Seller shall immediately notify Buyer if a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan was not originated and has been removed from the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans.

39

Section 10. Hypothecation or Pledge of Purchased Assets. Title to all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets. In furtherance, and not by limitation of, the foregoing, it is acknowledged that each counterparty with which any Buyer may engage in a transaction as contemplated hereunder is a repledgee as contemplated by Sections 9-207 and 9- 623 of the UCC (and the relevant Official Comments thereunder). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller; provided, however, that Buyer is obligated to return the specific Purchased Assets upon repurchase by Seller.

Section 11. Fees. Seller shall pay to Buyer in immediately available funds, all fees due and owing as and when set forth in the Pricing Side Letter. The fees are non-refundable, and such payment shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account designated by Buyer.

Section 12. Representations. Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the Purchase Date of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Facility Documents and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect:

Section 15. Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs, the following rights and remedies are available to Buyer; provided, that an Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing:

(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Seller), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

(A) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subsection (a)(i) of this Section, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the Aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder, and (3) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control; and

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section.

(iii) Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets related thereto which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in Facility Documents.

55

(iv) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer, or Buyer through its Affiliates or designees, may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to retain such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets (as determined and adjusted by the Buyer in its sole discretion, giving such weight to the BPO Value or Appraised Value, as applicable, or outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset as Buyer deems appropriate) against the Aggregate Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Facility Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to the foregoing shall be applied as determined by Buyer.

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual expenses, including reasonable documented legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or hedging transactions, and (C) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Promptly upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide, at Seller’s cost, an updated BPO for each Purchased Asset.

(b) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. The Seller recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Seller agrees that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole good faith discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(c) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

56

(d) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

(e) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

Section 16. Indemnification and Expenses.

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of counsel, and Taxes relating to or arising in connection with the ownership of the Purchased Assets, but excluding any Taxes otherwise addressed in Section 7 of this Agreement) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any wire fraud or data or systems intrusions which causes Buyer to suffer any such liability, loss, damage, judgment, cost and/or expense, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt “Costs” shall include Taxes that represent losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Purchased Assets, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Assets for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Assets, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party 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 Seller 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 Seller. Seller

57

also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.

(b) Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer which amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price paid for the first Transaction hereunder. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other document prepared in connection thereto. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 30 hereof, Seller agrees to pay Buyer all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller for purchase under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 16(b) and 19 hereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Payment Agent and Calculation Agent.

(c) The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

The Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder. Buyer may terminate the servicing of any Mortgage Loan with the then existing servicer in accordance with Section 17(e) hereof.

(d) As compensation for its services under the Servicing Agreement the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible to pay all the fees and expenses of the Servicer out of the Servicing Fee or its own funds.

(e) The Seller shall provide promptly to the Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Assets

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event, the Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s rights to service the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Servicer Notice. Seller and Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Assets to a successor servicer selected by Seller and approved by Buyer in its sole discretion exercised in good faith. To the extent (i) Seller fails to select a successor servicer within [***] or

(ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Buyer shall select a successor servicer in its sole discretion.

(g) If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully such Seller’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

Section 19. Due Diligence. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller and Servicer, including, without limitation, financial information, organization documents, business plans, purchase agreements and underwriting purchase models for each pool of Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the

59

possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, Seller shall create and deliver to Buyer within [***] of such request, an electronic copy via email to [***], in a format acceptable to Buyer, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request.

Buyer may, based on such due diligence, require to change contractual terms and add protections it deems, in its absolute discretion, necessary to protect its rights in the Mortgage Loans.

Section 20. Assignability.

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

(d) In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities.

Section 21. Transfer and Maintenance of Register.

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 21, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.

61

Section 22. Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 23. Set-Off.

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller.

Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 16 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 25. Notices And Other Communications.

(c) Origination and Servicing Practices; No Escrow Deposits. The origination and collection practices used by the Seller and , each servicer of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and the servicing practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether such servicing was done by the Seller, its affiliates, or any third- party servicer, subservicer or servicing agent of any of the foregoing. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments (including, without limitation, with respect to RTL Loans, any Holdback Amount), all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of Seller. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any related Mortgage Loan Document. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.

(d) Ownership.

Schedule 1-1

(e) Enforceability and Priority of Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, and enforceable perfected first lien on the property therein described, the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all adverse claims, encumbrances and liens having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage except for, (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions, and restrictions, rights of way, easements, and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the Mortgaged Property is located, and (iii) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject that do not individually or in aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage.

(g) Business Purpose Mortgage Loan. The related Mortgaged Property is solely for use as an investment property and Seller has provided Buyer or its designee with a statement from the Mortgagor certifying such purposes as well as other checks as agreed to between Seller and Buyer as determined through due diligence. Such Mortgage Loan was not originated primarily for a personal, family or household purpose, as defined in the Truth in Lending Act and its implementing Regulation Z, and such Mortgage Loans was originated for business purposes.

(h) Mortgage Recorded; Assignments of Mortgage. Except as provided in paragraph (i) below, each original Mortgage was recorded or submitted for recordation in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been delivered in the appropriate form for recording in all jurisdictions in which such recordation is necessary to perfect the ownership of the Mortgage by the owner thereof. With respect to each Mortgage that constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form (other than the name of the assignee if in blank) and is

Sch. 1-2

acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

(l) No Rescission. (A) No Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject it to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense, including the defense of usury; and (B) to the best of Seller’s knowledge, no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority over Seller is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Mortgage Loan.

Sch. 1-3

(n) Legal, Valid and Binding Obligation. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(o) Environmental Matters. The Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue or is secured by a secured lender’s environmental insurance policy

(p) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in a State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia and consists of a one- to four-unit residential property, which may include, but is not limited to, a single-family dwelling, a Small Multi-Family Property, condominium unit, or mixed use property. No Mortgaged Property is a mobile home or a manufactured home. Other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Multi-Property Rental Loan, such Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgage on only one Mortgaged Property.

(q) Appraisal. Except as otherwise agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion, Seller has furnished to Buyer an Appraisal that reflects an Appraised Value of at least [***] of the related Mortgaged Property.

(r) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. With respect to each RTL Loan, unless such required repairs were identified at the time of origination and appropriate set-asides have been made for such repairs to the best of Seller’s knowledge, the related Mortgaged Property is in good repair and undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, hurricane, tornado, mold or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended. With respect to each Rental Loan, each related Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, vandalism, fire, hurricane, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty adversely affecting the value of a Mortgaged Property or the use for which the premises were intended, and each such Mortgaged Property is in substantially the same condition it was at the time the most recent Property Value was obtained.

(s) No Condemnation. There is no proceeding pending or to the best of the Seller’s knowledge threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property.

(t) Mortgagor. The related Mortgagor is not insolvent and is not a foreign national.

(u) Consolidation of Principal Advances. Any principal advances made have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate reflected on the Asset Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage securing the principal amount (as expressed on the related Mortgage Note which shall include, with respect to RTL Loans, the undisbursed Holdback Amount) is insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Buyer.

Sch. 1-4

(v) No Fraud. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, the Mortgagor, the appraiser, any servicer or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan or in connection with the sale of such Mortgage Loan to the Buyer.

(w) Approval. Seller and each other originator is licensed or qualified, as required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, as a mortgage lender in each state in which any related Mortgaged Property is located.

(x) Documents Genuine. Such Mortgage Loan and all accompanying Mortgage Loan Documents (including without limitation the related Mortgage Loan Documents) are complete and authentic and all signatures thereon are genuine.

(y) Disbursements of Holdback Amounts. With respect to RTL Loans, to the extent the related Mortgagor requests disbursement of any Holdback Amounts, all such Holdback Amounts required to be disbursed have been disbursed by Holdback Servicer to the Mortgagor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

(z) Hazard Insurance. The related Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by an insurer acceptable to Buyer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and, to the extent such agreement is commercially available from the related insurer, may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee arising for any reason other than nonpayment of a premium. No such notice has been received by Seller. All currently due premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy

Sch. 1-5

covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. To Seller’s knowledge, the hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. No Seller has engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(aa) Disbursement of Proceeds. Any and all requirements as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or any other related Mortgage Loan Document. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Seller pursuant to each Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith.

(bb) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Buyer and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Buyer and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

Sch. 1-6

(cc) No Defaults. As of the Purchase Date, (i) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any other related Mortgage Loan Document (including without limitation a failure by Seller to make an advance in accordance with the terms thereof to the related Mortgagor thereunder), and (ii) no event has occurred which would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. No Seller has waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the Mortgage Note or any other related Mortgage Loan Document.

(dd) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage.

(ee) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value or BPO Value, as applicable, of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation.

(ff) Underwriting Standards. Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, unless otherwise approved by Buyer.

(gg) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. There is only one originally executed Mortgage Note not stamped as a duplicate with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

(hh) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement and chattel mortgage referred to in clause (i) above or other collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents. There are, as of origination date and as of the Purchase Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property, and equipment and other personal property financing). No mezzanine debt is secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(ii) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

(jj) Proceeds of Mortgage Loan. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have not been and shall not be used to satisfy, in whole or in part, any debt owed or owing by the Mortgagor to Seller or any Affiliate or correspondent of Seller, except in connection with a refinanced Mortgage Loan.

(kk) No Equity Participation. No document relating to the Mortgage Loan provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property.

Sch. 1-7

The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor and no Seller has financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor.

(ll) Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan is either (x) full recourse against the related Mortgagor and/or natural person or (y) non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of any related Mortgaged Property, and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and (b) the Mortgage Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

(mm) Single-Purpose Entity. With respect to each Mortgagor that is a Person other than an individual, each related non-recourse Mortgage Loan requires such Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any material assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any material indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

(nn) Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan Documents do not provide for the release of any related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (b) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation or a material casualty, or (c) in connection with a substitution of collateral within the parameters specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

(oo) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited.

(pp) Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, and, to each Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Mortgage Loan Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

Sch. 1-8

(qq) Wet-Ink Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Wet-Ink Mortgage Loan, the Settlement Agent has been instructed in writing by Seller to hold the related Mortgage Loan Documents as agent and bailee for Buyer and to promptly forward such Mortgage Loan Documents in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial Agreement and the Escrow Instruction Letter and Seller has confirmed receipt of a closing protection letter.

(rr) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination or purchase of each Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to the orders or the regulations promulgated by OFAC or in violation of the orders or OFAC regulations, and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such orders or OFAC regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC regulations.

(ss)Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and electricity all of which are appropriate for the current use of such Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of such Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy insuring such Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the related Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which such Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(tt) Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the related Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. Each Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. No Seller is aware of any Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor on the Mortgage Loan having received notice of any noncompliance with any use or occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate with respect to any Mortgaged Property.

(uu) Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against each related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non- judicial foreclosure.

Sch. 1-9

(vv) UCC Filings. Each Seller has recorded or caused to be recorded (or, if not recorded, have been submitted in proper form for recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in any collateral for such Mortgage Loan to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording, as the case may be.

(ww) Mortgage Recorded. The related Mortgage (or equivalent document) or other related collateral document creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above that may be perfected by recording. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the recording of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. The Mortgage either has been or will promptly be submitted for recordation in the appropriate recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement and chattel mortgage referred to above or other collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

(xx) Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of each Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury. No Mortgage Loan is subject to forfeiture or any material penalties as a result of non-compliance with any applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

(yy) Costs. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the related Mortgage, which if unpaid would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the value of the related Mortgage Loan, were paid as of the related Purchase Date. The Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or any other related Mortgage Loan Document.

(ccc) Multi-Property Mortgage Loans. Each Mortgage Loan that is a Multi- Property Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized with all Mortgaged Properties securing such Multi- Property Mortgage Loan. All Indebtedness evidenced by a Multi-Property Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction under this Agreement.

Subject to the conditions herein, and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, Seller may cause the sale of Purchased Assets and effect an Optional Repurchase (as defined below) on any date in connection with such Optional Repurchase which is not made in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan. When the Mortgage Loans are desired to be sold or otherwise transferred or liquidated by Seller (x) to a Take-Out Investor in an arm’s length all-cash transaction or (y) in connection with a Capital Markets Transaction or other refinancing transaction that reduces the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price to zero (unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion) (an “Optional Repurchase”), for net sale proceeds that are equal to or greater than the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loans, Seller shall give Buyer prior written notice thereof by [***] (New York time) at least [***] prior, which notice designates the applicable Mortgage Loans and specifies the net sale proceeds expected from such sale; provided that the release of any Purchased Assets in accordance with this Section 3(d) shall not result in a Margin Deficit. If such notice is given, Seller shall, or shall cause the Take-Out Investor to, make payment directly to the Buyer or the Nomura Account (at Buyer’s determination) in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price.

(e) Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by reassignment to the Seller or their designee of the Purchased Assets (and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Mortgage Loan (but Liquidation Proceeds received by Buyer shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets on each Remittance Date except as otherwise provided herein). Seller is obligated to obtain the Asset Files from Buyer or its designee at Seller’s expense on the Repurchase Date.

(f) Mandatory Repurchase.

(i) If at any time there has occurred a Purchased Asset Issue with respect to any Purchased Asset, then the Asset Value thereof shall automatically be reduced to zero (unless otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller detailing the basis by which Buyer has determined that such Purchased Asset Issue has occurred (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Repurchase Notice”), require Seller to repurchase such asset. In the case of a repurchase, Seller, shall, at Buyer’s direction, be required to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan as soon as is practicable but, in any case, not more than [***] after Buyer has delivered such Repurchase Notice to Seller. Seller shall be required to notify Buyer as soon as is practicable after obtaining knowledge of any fact that could be the basis for any Purchased Asset Issue, but, in any case, not more than [***]

31

after obtaining knowledge thereof. For the sake of clarity, Seller shall ensure that such Repurchase Price (including without limitation any related expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith) is remitted directly to Buyer and not pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Any cash remitted to Buyer pursuant to this Section 3(f) shall be credited and applied to the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset and any other amounts then due and payable by Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset.

(ii) Buyer’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to send a Repurchase Notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan shall not in any way limit or impair its right to send a Repurchase Notice at a later time.

(g) LIBOR Rate Breakage Costs. Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 16 hereof, the Seller agrees that if any Repurchase Price is paid other than in connection with an ordinary course liquidation of a Mortgage Loan and such Repurchase Price is paid on a date other than on a Remittance Date, the Seller shall, upon demand by the Buyer, pay to the Buyer any such amounts as are reasonable to compensate the Buyer for any additional losses (not including lost profits), costs or expenses which the Buyer will incur as a result of such payments, including, without limitation, any hedge breakage costs.

(h) Alternative Rate. If prior to any Remittance Date, Buyer determines in its sole discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the LIBOR Rate is no longer in existence, or the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBOR Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer may give prompt written notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such period, and for all subsequent periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion. Any such determination of the Successor Rate and any Successor Rate conforming changes shall be made by Buyer consistent with its determinations with respect to other repurchase facilities that are substantially the same with similarly situated counterparties and with substantially similar assets subject thereto; provided, that the foregoing shall only apply to repurchase transactions that are under the supervision of the New York structured finance group of Buyer that administers the Transactions.

(i) Excess Concentration Amount; Weighted Average Criteria. If, as of any date of determination, the Repurchase Price (excluding any amounts calculated pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof) of any type of Purchased Asset is in excess of any applicable Concentration Limit (such excess amount, the “Excess Concentration Amount”), then the Asset Value attributable to such Excess Concentration Amount shall automatically be reduced to zero (unless otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller require Seller to reduce such Repurchase Price by remitting such Excess Concentration Amount to Buyer within [***] of Seller’s receipt of

32

such notice. If, as of any date of determination, any Weighted Average Criteria are violated, then the Asset Value attributable to Purchased Assets that cause such Weighted Average Criteria to be violated as determined by Buyer (the “Weighted Average Violation Assets”) shall automatically be reduced to zero (unless otherwise determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) and Buyer may, in its sole discretion, with notice to the Seller require Seller to reduce such Repurchase Price by remitting the amount of the Repurchase Price (excluding any amounts calculated pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof) attributable to such Weighted Average Violation Assets (such amount, the “Weighted Average Violation Amount”) to Buyer within [***] of Seller’s receipt of such notice.

(j) Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount. If, as of any date of determination, a Repurchase Price Adjustment Date occurs with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall remit the related Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount to Buyer within [***] following its receipt of written notice thereof by Buyer. For the sake of clarity, following the payment of any Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount on any Repurchase Price Adjustment Date, all Purchased Assets then subject to a Transaction shall be in compliance with all applicable Concentration Limits.

Section 4. Margin Amount Maintenance.

(a) At any time a Margin Deficit exists in excess of [***], then Buyer may, by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee, cash or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, Additional Acceptable Assets to cure such Margin Deficit (such amount or Additional Acceptable Assets, the “Margin Payment”).

(b) Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4(a) may be given by any written or electronic means. Any Margin Deficit notice given before [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Payment received, no later than [***] (New York City time) on the following Business Day. If notice is made after [***] (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Margin Payment shall be received by Buyer at [***] (New York City time) on the second following Business Day.

(c) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its failure to send a Margin Call notice at any time a Purchased Asset is no longer an Eligible Mortgage Loan, or at any time there exists a Margin Deficit, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date, or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(d) Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) above shall be credited to the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.

Section 5. Income Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets for all purposes except accounting and tax purposes, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued and unpaid Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) on the Remittance Date. If Seller fails to pay all or part of the Price Differential then due by [***] (New York time) on any Remittance Date, the Pricing Rate shall be equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential then due is received in full by Buyer.

33

(b) Seller shall, and shall cause Servicer to, hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income, including, without limitation, all Income received by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall cause the Servicer (other than in the case of Seller acting in the capacity of Servicer during the Interim Servicing Period) to deposit all such Income received on account of the Purchased Assets serviced, subserviced or managed by such Servicer in the related Collection Account, in accordance with the applicable Servicer Notice. To the extent that Seller is holding any Income, Seller shall deposit such Income on receipt into the Nomura Account. To the extent such deposits are insufficient to cover the full Price Differential due on the next Remittance Date, Seller shall deposit funds into the Nomura Account sufficient to cover such shortfall.

(c) Seller shall cause Servicer (other than in the case of Seller acting in the capacity of Servicer) to remit to Collection Account all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets (such instruction shall be set forth in the Servicer Notice and shall be irrevocable without the prior written consent of Buyer during the Interim Servicing Period) no later than, [***] of the application by such Servicer in such Servicer’s system of such collections in respect of the Purchased Assets, which in any event shall be no later than within [***] of receipt of such collections. All Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer except for tax purposes which shall be treated as income and property of Seller and when deposited into the Collection Account and Nomura Account, respectively, shall not be commingled with other property of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller; provided, however, that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Servicer as agent of the Seller shall have access to Income to make any permitted withdrawals in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement as modified by the Servicer Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Facility Documents to the contrary, Seller shall not at any time have access to the Collection Account and Seller shall not issue any instructions or directions to the Collection Account Bank with respect to the Collection Account.

(d) No later than [***] prior to each Remittance Date, Seller shall cause Servicer as agent of Seller to cause the Collection Account Bank to remit to the Nomura Account all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account. Funds on deposit in the Nomura Account shall be applied by Buyer on each Remittance Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default as follows:

(A) first, pro rata, to Custodian and Disbursement Agent on account of any accrued and unpaid custodial and disbursement agent fees, and to the Collection Account Bank on account of any accrued and unpaid fees, unless Seller is paying such fees directly;

(B) second, to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding as of the Remittance Date;

34

(C) third, to Buyer on account of unpaid fees, expenses, LIBOR Rate breakage costs, indemnity amounts and any other amounts due to the Buyer from Seller under the Agreement;

(D) fourth, to pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Margin Deficit (without giving effect to any notice period) and without limiting Seller’s obligation to satisfy a Margin Deficit in a timely manner as required by Section 4) and any accrued and unpaid Excess Concentration Amount, the Weighted Average Violation Amount, and Repurchase Price Adjustment Amount;

(E) fifth, all remaining amounts (if any), to the Seller.

(e) Reserved.

(f) To the extent that Buyer receives any funds from a Take-out Investor with respect to the purchase by such Take-out Investor of a Mortgage Loan (“Disposition Proceeds”), the Buyer shall promptly apply such funds to the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Loans purchased by such Take-out Investor, any Margin Deficit, and shall promptly remit any excess to Seller.

(g) Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default has occurred, all funds in the Collection Account and Waterfall Account shall be withdrawn and applied to payment of Seller’s Obligations hereunder as determined by Buyer until all such Obligations have been paid in full, and thereafter to Seller.

Section 6. Requirements of Law.

(a) If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

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

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

35

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

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

Section 7. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to which Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to Buyer, (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 7) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

36

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Facility Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Non- Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 7(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within [***] from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) For purposes of subsection (e) of this Section 7, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) 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.,” “N.A.,” “National Association,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non- Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

37

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section if such beneficial owner were Buyer; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section if each such person were Buyer.

If Buyer has provided a form pursuant to clause (e)(i)(x) above and the form provided by Buyer either at the time Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, at the effective date of such participation, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non- Excluded Taxes unless and until Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely

38

for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date (after the Effective Date) a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f) For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 7 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by Buyer, or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

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

Section 8. Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Security Interest. On the Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets to the extent of its rights therein. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax purposes) and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller, to the extent of its rights therein, hereby pledges on the date hereof to Buyer as security for the performance of the Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in Seller’s rights, title and interest in the Purchased Assets (including any Additional Acceptable Assets that are Purchased Assets), any other Additional Acceptable Assets transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Records, all Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets (to the extent of Seller’s rights

39

therein), all Take-out Commitments, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or any related Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or hazard insurance and FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts and VA Loan Guaranty Agreements, any Income relating to any Purchased Asset, each Collection Account, the Disbursement Account, the Servicing Agreements, and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Assets or any interest in the Purchased Assets, as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt and Asset Detail and Exception Report, and any proceeds and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights and in order to secure Seller’s obligations under Section 17 of this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and the related Servicing Records, all rights of Seller as Servicer to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any Servicing Records or other documents which constitute a part of the Asset File or Servicing File and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, on or prior to the related Repurchase Date. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem reasonable and appropriate. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

The grants of security interest set forth in this Section are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Section 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller, and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby give Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller without assent by, but with notice to, Seller if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

40

(i) in the name of Seller or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any other Repurchase Assets and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any other Repurchase Assets whenever payable;

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

(iii)(A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Repurchase Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct, including, without limitation, any payment agent with respect to any Repurchase Asset; (B) to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of Seller and Servicer; (C) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Repurchase Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Repurchase Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Repurchase Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Repurchase Assets;

(F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Repurchase Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Repurchase Assets as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Repurchase Assets and Buyer’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.

Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition the foregoing, Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit J hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof. Seller and Buyer acknowledges that the Powers of Attorney shall terminate on the later of (a) the Termination Date and (b) the satisfaction in full of the Obligations.

Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 15 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets.

41

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

Section 9. Payment, Transfer And Custody.

(a) Payments and Transfers of Funds. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer: [***], [***], Account No. [***], for the account of Nomura Corporate Funding Americas LLC, ABA No. [***], ref: Funds for FAM, not later than [***] New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

Section 15. Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs, the following rights and remedies are available to Buyer; provided, that an Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing (whereupon such Event of Default shall be deemed to be not continuing):

(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of Seller), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

(A) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subsection (a)(i) of this Section, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder, and (3) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control; and

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Post-Default Rate in effect following an Event of Default to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section.

58

(iii) Upon the occurrence and continuance of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets related thereto which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in Facility Documents.

(iv) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer, or Buyer through its Affiliates or designees, may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to retain such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets (as determined and adjusted by the Buyer in its sole discretion, giving such weight to the Market Value or outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset as Buyer deems appropriate) against the aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Facility Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to the foregoing shall be applied as determined by Buyer until all Obligations are paid in full, and Buyer shall pay any remainder to Seller.

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual expenses, including reasonable documented reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or hedging transactions, and (C) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Promptly upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide, at Seller’s cost, an updated Appraisal for each Purchased Asset.

(b) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income. The Seller recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, the Seller agrees that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole good faith discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets in the same manner or on the same

59

Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(c) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(d) Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

(e) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Facility Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

Section 16. Indemnification and Expenses.

(a) Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of counsel, and Taxes relating to or arising in connection with the ownership of the Purchased Assets, but excluding any Taxes otherwise addressed in Section 7 of this Agreement) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, any wire fraud or data or systems intrusions), that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of

60

doubt “Costs” shall include Taxes that represent losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Purchased Assets, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Assets for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Assets, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party 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 Seller 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 Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the amount of any Charges and/or Returned Items (as each such term is defined in the Collection Account Control Agreement) paid by Buyer to Collection Account Bank pursuant to Section 6 of the Collection Account Control Agreement (including without limitation following the termination of the Collection Account Control Agreement to the extent provided for in Section 6 of the Collection Account Control Agreement).

(b) Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation filing fees and all the fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer which amount shall be deducted from the Purchase Price paid for the first Transaction hereunder; provided that Seller shall not be required to pay such costs and expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date that are in excess of the Legal Expense Cap; provided further that the Legal Expense Cap shall not apply if any extensive delays, unreasonable negotiations, unanticipated issues or structural changes occur during such development, preparation or execution. Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer (including reasonable legal fees) in connection with the development, preparation and execution of any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other document prepared in connection thereto. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 30 hereof, Seller agrees to pay Buyer all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by Seller for purchase under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 16(b) and 19 hereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Collection Account Bank.

61

(c) The obligations of Seller from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of Seller.

Section 17. Servicing.

(a) Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with one or more Servicers to service and/or subservice the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that such Servicers customarily require with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by such Servicers and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller as Servicer shall service the Purchased Assets during the related Interim Servicing Period in accordance with this Agreement, including the Servicing Annex for the benefit of Buyer. The Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing and/or subservicing responsibilities hereunder, (iii) be an approved servicer by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in each case in good standing and (iv) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder. Buyer may terminate the servicing and/or subservicing of any Mortgage Loan with the then existing servicer and/or subservicer in accordance with the related Servicer Notice. The Servicing Agreement shall not be materially amended without the written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion; provided that the Seller shall provide the Buyer with written notice of any amendment of the Servicing Agreement, including a copy of such amendment.

(b) Seller shall ensure that Servicer has adequate financial standing, servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(c) Seller shall cause the Servicer and any interim servicer to deposit all collections received by Seller on account of the Purchased Assets in the Collection Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b); provided that in the case of Seller as Servicer, all collections (if any) received by Seller as Servicer on account of the Purchased Assets shall be deposited by Seller into the Nomura Account by no later than [***] prior to the next occurring Remittance Date.

(d) As compensation for its services under the Servicing Agreement the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall be responsible to pay all the fees and expenses of the Servicer out of the Servicing Fee or its own funds.

(e) The Seller shall provide promptly to the Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Assets; provided that Seller shall not be required to provide a Servicer Notice with respect to Seller acting as Servicer.

62

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s rights to service the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement in accordance with the related Servicer Notice (or this Agreement and the Servicing Annex in the case of Seller as Servicer, and if Buyer exercises such right all authority and power of such Servicer to service the Purchased Assets hereunder shall be immediately and automatically terminated). Seller and Servicer shall (x) cooperate in transferring the servicing and/or subservicing of the Purchased Assets to a successor servicer and/or subservicer selected by Buyer in its sole discretion and (y) in the case of Seller as Servicer, comply with the servicing transfer provisions set forth in paragraph (b)(ix) of the Servicing Annex in connection with such transfer of the servicing of the Purchased Assets. In the case of a Servicer other than Seller, if a Servicer Termination Event has occurred but an Event of Default has not yet occurred, the Seller shall select a successor servicer and/or subservicer within [***] following the earlier of Seller’s receipt of notice or knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, subject to such successor servicer or subservicer being approved by Buyer in its sole discretion exercised in good faith.

(g) If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity responsible to Seller by contract for managing, servicing or subservicing any such Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

Section 18. Recording of Communications. Buyer and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions upon notice to the other party of such recording.

Section 19. Due Diligence. Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Seller and Servicer, including, without limitation, financial information, organization documents, business plans, purchase agreements and underwriting purchase models for each pool of Mortgage Loans and such other information regarding such Persons or the Purchased Assets that Buyer may request and Seller, Servicer or such other Person shall have in their possession or control, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that (a) upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans (the “Due Diligence Documents”) in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian, or (b) upon request, Seller shall create and deliver to Buyer within [***] of such request, an electronic copy via email to [***], in a format acceptable to Buyer, of such Due Diligence Documents as Buyer may request. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to review and approval of the Third Party Reviewer procedures, Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon a due diligence review prepared by a Third Party Reviewer with respect to Mortgage Loans that are Non-Agency Loans so long as (x) Buyer receives such due diligence review directly from such Third Party Reviewer and (y) such due diligence review was conducted within [***] of the related Purchase Date, or such other time period as agreed between the Buyer and the Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from Seller and enter into additional Transactions

63

with respect to the Mortgage Loans based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals and/or AVMs on the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to the Mortgage Loans and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and the Third Party Reviewer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and the Third Party Reviewer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 19; provided that such costs and expenses are in connection with such activities that are incremental to the due diligence review of the Mortgage Loans performed by Seller and described in the related due diligence materials delivered by Seller to Buyer (upon which Buyer may rely). Buyer may, based on such due diligence, require to change contractual terms and add protections it deems, in its absolute discretion, necessary to protect its rights in the Mortgage Loans.

Section 20. Assignability.

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. At no additional cost to Seller, Buyer may, upon at least [***] notice to Seller, from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents to any Person pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

64

(b) At no additional cost to Seller, Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person; provided, however, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in Section 7; provided that no such restrictions shall apply with respect to any sale to any Affiliate of Buyer or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided further that Buyer shall act as agent for all purchasers, assignees and point of contact for Seller pursuant to agency provisions to be agreed upon by Buyer, its intended purchasers and/or assignees and Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 31 hereof to the contrary, Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 20, deliver a copy of this Agreement to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant and disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities.

Section 21. Transfer and Maintenance of Register.

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 21, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 21 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 21(b) hereof.

(b) Buyer, as agent for Seller, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record Buyer’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned or participated. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights.

Section 22. Tax Treatment. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of a Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

Section 23. Set-Off.

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

(b) Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if an Event of Default has occurred.

Section 24. Terminability. Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 16 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 25. Notices And Other Communications. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by telecopy) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given under Section 3 (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopy or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

SCHEDULE 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: MORTGAGE LOANS

Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any such Mortgage Loan by Buyer from Seller and at all times while the Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

(a) Data. The information on the Asset Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such information. All information contained in the related Asset File and in the Underwriting Package in respect of the Mortgage Loans is accurate and complete in all material respects.

(b) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, legal capacity to contract, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations by Seller or Servicer of the Mortgage Loan shall maintain or Seller shall cause Servicer of such Mortgage Loan to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than with respect to Investor Mortgage Loans, if the related Mortgagor’s loan application for such Mortgage Loan was taken on or after October 3, 2015, such Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule.

(c) Origination and Servicing Practices; No Escrow Deposits. The origination and collection practices used by the originator, each servicer of the Mortgage Loan and Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and the servicing practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether such servicing was done by the Seller, its affiliates, or any third-party subservicer or servicing agent of any of the foregoing. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of Seller. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage, the Mortgage Note or any related Mortgage Loan Document. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.

Schedule 1-1

(d) Ownership. Seller has good and marketable title and full right to sell the Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created or expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Valid First Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected with respect to each Mortgage Loan, first priority lien and first priority security interest on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:

a. the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;

b. covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the title insurance policy delivered to Seller and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the ~~appraisal~~Appraisal or AVM/BPO, as applicable made for to Seller or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraisal Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such ~~appraisal~~Appraisal or AVM/BPO as applicable;

c. other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage, except in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines.

(f) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Asset

Sch. 1-2

Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Asset File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule.

(g) Mortgage Recorded; Assignments of Mortgage. Except as provided in paragraph (e) above, each original Mortgage was recorded or submitted for recordation in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been delivered in the appropriate form for recording in all jurisdictions in which such recordation is necessary to perfect the ownership of the Mortgage by the owner thereof against creditors of the Seller or is in the process of being recorded. With respect to each Mortgage that constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage, upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in recordable form (other than the name of the assignee if in blank) and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, (i) the related Mortgage and Assignment of Mortgage have been duly and properly recorded in the name of MERS or its designee or have been delivered for recording to the applicable recording office and (ii) a mortgage identification number has been assigned by MERS and such mortgage identification number is accurately provided on the Asset Schedule (or is otherwise provided to Buyer). The related Assignment of Mortgage to MERS has been duly and properly recorded. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller has not received any notice of liens that are senior to the related Mortgage or legal actions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and no such notices have been electronically posted by MERS.

(h) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or to the best of Seller’s knowledge threatened, that is related to the Mortgage Loan and likely to affect materially and adversely such Mortgage Loan.

(i) No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by [***] the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.

Sch. 1-3

(j) No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. The Mortgagor did not have a prior bankruptcy and did not previously own property that was the subject of a foreclosure during the time the Mortgagor was the owner of record. Seller has no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan.

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

Sch. 1-5

(t) Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than [***] after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature. The Mortgagor contributed at least [***] of the purchase price for the Mortgaged Property from their own funds, except as permitted under the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. Interest on the Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the index plus the fixed percentage amount, in each case as set forth in the related Mortgage Note (rounded up or down to the nearest [***]), subject to the limit on each Mortgage Interest Rate adjustment as set forth in the related Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note is payable on the [***] in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, are subject to change on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than [***] from commencement of amortization.

(u) Capitalization of Interest. The Mortgage Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest.

(v) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) [***] of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard

Sch. 1-6

insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without [***] prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(w) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. There is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. All broker fees have been properly disclosed to the Mortgagor and no claims will arise as to broker fees that are double charged and for which the Mortgagor would be entitled to reimbursement.

(x) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an American Land Title Association lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Buyer, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Buyer, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph (e) of this Schedule 1, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific

Sch. 1-7

survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.

(y) No Mechanics’ Liens.

There is no homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person, or restriction on the Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of the Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the ability of the Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Buyer, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

SERVICING ANNEX

Reference is hereby made to that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), by and between Finance of America Mortgage LLC (“Seller” or “Servicer”) and Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC (“Buyer”). Capitalized terms used herein but not herein defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

(a) During the Interim Servicing Period, Servicer hereby agrees to service the related Purchased Assets in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in the Agreement, including without limitation Section 17 of the Agreement. Such terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement (including without limitation Section 17 of the Agreement) are hereby incorporated by reference.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Interim Servicing Period in connection with its servicing of the related Purchased Assets, Servicer shall comply with the following:

(i) Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Servicer will proceed diligently, in accordance with the Servicing Annex, to collect all payments due (if any) under each of such Purchased Assets when the same shall become due and payable.

(ii) Servicing Records and Servicing Files. Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for the Purchased Assets, including the related Servicing Records and Servicing Files. Servicer shall release its custody of the contents of the Servicing Files in accordance, and only in accordance, with written instructions of Buyer, except when such release is required as incidental to the Servicer’s servicing of such Purchased Assets.

(iii) MERS Mortgage Loans. With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, Servicer shall cause the MERS System to indicate that the related Purchased Asset is being serviced by Servicer pursuant to the Agreement (including the Servicing Annex) by entering in the MERS System the information required by the MERS System to identify Servicer as the servicer of the MERS Mortgage Loan. In the event Servicer’s membership in MERS is terminated for any reason and any of the related Purchased Assets then serviced by Servicer are MERS Mortgage Loans, Servicer shall, upon Buyer’s request, prepare and cause MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to Buyer or its designee and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Purchased Asset.

(iv) Environmental Issue. Servicer shall, if a related Mortgaged Property is subject to the Environmental Issue, immediately stop any foreclosure proceedings and not commence new foreclosure proceedings against such Mortgaged Property.

Exh. D-1

(v) Modifications Etc. Consistent with the terms of the Servicing Annex and Accepted Servicing Practices, Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any such Purchased Asset or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in Servicer’s reasonable and prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to Buyer or Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Asset. All modifications, waivers, forbearances or amendments of any such Purchased Asset shall be in writing and shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. On each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall make interest rate adjustments for each related adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note and applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. The Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage, Mortgage Note and applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding interest rate adjustments.

(vi) Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges; Maintenance of PMI Policies; Collections Thereunder. With respect to each such Purchased Asset (to the extent escrowed under the terms of such Purchased Asset), Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of private mortgage insurance policy premiums and fees and fire and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges, including insurance renewal premiums and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor held in trust accounts as escrow funds maintained by Servicer which shall have been estimated and accumulated by Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage and applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Servicer assumes full responsibility for the timely payment of all such bills and shall effect timely payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the escrow payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect such payments.

(vii) Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each such Purchased Asset fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located by a Qualified Insurer in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property and (b) the outstanding principal balance owing on such Purchased Asset. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (A) the minimum amount required under the terms of the coverage to compensate for any damage or loss to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement-cost basis (or the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset if replacement-cost basis is not available) or (B) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program. Any

Exh. D-2

amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in trust accounts as escrow funds and applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of such Purchased Asset, or to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) shall be deposited in the Nomura Account. All policies required hereunder shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to Servicer, and shall provide for at least [***] prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in amount or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor’s freedom of choice in selecting either its insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are Qualified Insurers.

(viii) Inspections. Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Property related to each such Purchased Asset as often as deemed necessary by the Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In addition, the Servicer shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Servicer shall keep a written report of each such inspection and shall provide a copy of such inspection to Buyer upon the request of Buyer.

(ix) Servicing Transfer Provisions. In the event that Buyer terminates Servicer’s rights to service the related Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 17(f) of the Agreement, Servicer shall:

(A) Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under the Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of the Buyer or the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 17(f) of the Agreement;

(B) Servicer shall transfer the servicing with respect to the related Purchased Assets and prepare, execute and deliver, any and all related documents and other instruments, in the Servicer’s possession, including all related Servicing Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such termination and related transfer of servicing, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Purchased Assets and related documents or otherwise, at Seller’s sole expense. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver any and all documents and other such instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 17(f) of the Agreement all such responsibilities, duties and obligations of the Servicer as servicer, to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Purchased Assets and related documents, if necessary, and to deliver to Buyer (or its designee) all contents of the related Servicing Files in the possession of the Servicer;

Exh. D-3

(C) Servicer shall transfer to Buyer (or its designee) all cash amounts (if any) which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer and held in trust accounts as escrow funds or thereafter received with respect to the related Purchased Assets and Servicer shall account for all funds;

(D) Servicer will be responsible for notifying the related Mortgagors of any transfer of servicing in accordance with the requirements of the RESPA and the Cranston Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990;

(E) Servicer will comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations with respect to servicing transfers, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s rules and/or guidelines with respect to servicing transfers, including, without limitation, its Bulletin 2014-1 issued on August 19, 2014. Servicer will provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance as may be requested by Buyer in connection with compliance with such rules and/or guidelines. Further, the Servicer will cooperate after the applicable Servicing Transfer Date to promptly resolve all customer complaints, disputes and inquiries related to activities that occurred prior to such transfer date or in connection with the transfer of servicing; and

(F) With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, either (A) the Servicer shall, upon Buyer’s request, cooperate with the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 17(f) of the Agreement in causing MERS to designate on the MERS System such successor servicer as the servicer of such Purchased Asset or (B) the Servicer shall, upon Buyer’s request, cooperate with Buyer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to Buyer (which may be assigned in blank) and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Purchased Asset or servicing of such Purchased Asset on the MERS System to such successor servicer.

Description of the Business Combination

On October 12, 2020, Replay, FoA, New Pubco, Replay Merger Sub, Blocker Merger Sub, Blocker, Blocker GP and the Sellers entered into the Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which Replay agreed to combine with FoA in a series of transactions that will result in New Pubco becoming a publicly-traded company on NYSE and controlling FoA in an “UP-C” structure.

Concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, Replay and New Pubco entered into the PIPE Agreements with the PIPE Investors, as applicable. In the aggregate, the PIPE Investors have committed to purchase $250.0 million of PIPE Shares, at a purchase price of $10.00 per PIPE Share. The closing of the sale of the PIPE Shares pursuant to the PIPE Agreements was contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The purpose of the sale of the PIPE Shares was to raise additional capital for use in connection with the Business Combination and to meet the minimum cash requirements provided in the Transaction Agreement.

Pursuant to the Business Combination, among other things:

(i) Replay effected the Domestication, whereby (A) each Ordinary Share outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication was converted into a Replay LLC Unit and (B) Replay will be governed by the Replay LLCA;

(ii) the Sellers and Blocker GP sold to Replay FoA Units in exchange for cash;

(iii) the Replay Merger occurred, with each Replay LLC Unit outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Replay Merger being converted into the right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock;

(iv) Blocker was converted from a Delaware limited partnership to a Delaware limited liability company;

(v) the Blocker Merger occurred, with each Blocker Share outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Blocker Merger being converted into the right to receive a combination of shares of Class A Common Stock and cash;

(vi) Blocker GP contributed its remaining FoA Units to New Pubco in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock, after which New Pubco contributed such FoA Units to Blocker; and

(vii) New Pubco issued to the Continuing Unitholders shares of Class B Common Stock, which have no economic rights but entitle each holder of at least one such share (regardless of the number of shares so held) to a number of votes that is equal to the aggregate number of FoA Units held by such holder on all matters on which stockholders of New Pubco are entitled to vote generally.

As a result of the Business Combination, among other things:

(A) New Pubco indirectly holds (through Replay and Blocker) FoA Units and has the sole and exclusive right to appoint the board of managers of FoA;

(B) the Sellers hold (i) FoA Units that are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) shares of Class B Common Stock; and

(C) the Continuing Stockholders directly or indirectly, hold shares of Class A Common Stock.

As a result of the Business Combination, New Pubco initially owns approximately 31.3% of the economic interest of FoA, but has 100% of the voting power and has the right to appoint the board of managers of FoA. Immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, the ownership percentage held by the noncontrolling interest is approximately 68.7%.

Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, New Pubco entered into the Tax Receivable Agreements with the TRA Parties that provides for the payment by New Pubco to the TRA Parties of 85% of the benefits, if any, that New Pubco is deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of (i) tax basis adjustments that will increase the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of New Pubco as a result of sales or exchanges of FoA Units in connection with or after the Business Combination or distributions with respect to the FoA Units prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) New Pubco’s utilization of certain tax attributes attributable to the Blocker or the Blocker Shareholders, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreements, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements. Prior to and following the consummation of the Business Combination the primary asset held by Blocker is an investment in FoA through Class A Units held. All other assets and liabilities held by Blocker are not considered to be significant to New Pubco. See “Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement—Tax Receivable Agreements” for more information. The computation of the adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet related to deferred tax assets and amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are complicated and subject to significant judgments, assumptions and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in such pro forma adjustments. For example, any differences in the tax attributes used to measure the deferred tax asset as of the pro forma balance sheet date and the actual tax attributes upon the consummation of the Business Combination could result in the reduction of any deferred tax asset recognized or recognition of a deferred tax liability. Specifically, the amount of net operating losses, if any, that exist upon the consummation of the Business Combination will be impacted by the amount of taxable income through the consummation of the Business Combination.

Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination was accounted for using the acquisition method with New Pubco as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, New Pubco’s assets and liabilities were recorded at carrying value and the assets and liabilities associated with FoA were recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. The determination of whether control has been obtained begins with the evaluation of whether control should be evaluated based on the variable interest or voting interest model pursuant to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). If the acquiree is a variable interest entity, the primary beneficiary would be the accounting acquirer. FoA meets the definition of a variable interest entity and New Pubco has been determined to be the primary beneficiary.

Other Events

On November 5, 2020, Finance of America Funding LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of FoA, issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2025. FoA used approximately $298.4 million of the net proceeds of the offering to fund a distribution to its owners and the remaining net proceeds, after offering expenses, are being retained for growth and general corporate purposes.

The effect of the offering and sale of senior unsecured notes is reflected in the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of FoA as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 do not include any pro forma adjustments related to the offering and sale of senior unsecured notes. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes a pro forma adjustment to reflect the impact of interest expense for the period from January 1, 2020 to November 5, 2020, assuming the senior unsecured notes had been issued on January 1, 2020.

In its previously filed Super 8-K dated April 7, 2021 the Company erroneously included pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 to reflect the issuance of the senior unsecured notes and related debt issuance costs. These amounts were already reflected in the historical audited consolidated financial statements of FoA as of December 31, 2020. In addition, the Company erroneously included a pro forma adjustment to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 to reflect twelve months of interest expense associated with the outstanding senior unsecured notes. Interest expense for the period from November 5, 2020 through December 31, 2020 was already reflected in the historical audited consolidated financial statements of FoA for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to transaction accounting adjustments reflecting only the application of required accounting to the Business Combination and related transactions linking the effects of the Business Combination and related transactions to the historical financial statements of Replay, which forms the accounting predecessor of New Pubco. The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined entity upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined entity will experience.

1. Basis of Presentation
--- ---

The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the Business Combination had been consummated on March 31, 2021 in the case of the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet and on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the case of the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information has been prepared assuming the following methods of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

The Business Combination will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) on the basis of New Pubco as the accounting acquirer and FoA as the accounting acquiree. The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC 805 and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). In general, ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date by Replay, who was determined to be the accounting acquirer.

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used to develop the fair value measurements. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for a non-financial asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. The determination of whether control has been obtained begins with the evaluation of whether control should be evaluated based on the variable interest or voting interest model pursuant to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). If the acquiree is a variable interest entity, the primary beneficiary would be the accounting acquirer.

The pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Replay adopted FoA’s accounting policies. As a result of the adoption, there were no significant changes in accounting policies and no pro forma adjustments related to the alignment of the accounting policies of Replay and FoA.

Replay combined with FoA in the Business Combination, which resulted in New Pubco becoming a publicly-traded company on NYSE and controlling FoA in an “UP-C” structure. Upon completion of the Business Combination, New Pubco now controls FoA with the exclusive right to appoint the board of managers of FoA and is a holding company with no assets or operations other than its equity interest in FoA. As a result of the Business Combination, New Pubco initially owns approximately 31.3% of the economic interest of FoA, but has 100% of the voting power and has the right to appoint the board of managers of FoA. Immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, the ownership percentage held by the noncontrolling interest is approximately 68.7%.

1. Adjustments and Assumptions to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet as ofMarch 31, 2021

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 reflects the following adjustments:

(a) Represents the Replay historical unaudited condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2021.<br>
(b) Represents the FoA historical unaudited consolidated statement of financial condition as of March 31,<br>2021.
--- ---
(c) Reflects $0.4 million cash proceeds received to settle shareholder notes receivable held by FoA from<br>certain officers of FoA to finance the purchase by the officers of equity units in UFG Holdings. The shareholder notes receivable were historically accounted for pursuant to ASC 718 as a grant of an equity-classified option award with the full<br>amount of the grant date fair value recognized as compensation cost on the date of issuance.
--- ---
(d) Represents the reclassification of the investments held in Replay’s trust account to cash and cash<br>equivalents to liquidate these investments and make the funds available for general use by FoA.
--- ---
(e) Represents a cash disbursement by New Pubco to settle the outstanding underwriting fees incurred by Replay in<br>connection with the Replay initial public offering that were deferred until closing of the Business Combination.
--- ---
(f) Represents the $250.0 million cash investment by Replay, net of $5.4 million in issuance costs, in<br>exchange for the issuance of 25.0 million newly issued shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and a corresponding offset to Additional paid-in capital as a result of the<br>executed PIPE Agreements.
--- ---
(g) Represents cash distributions made to the Sellers and the Blocker GP for the sale of FoA Units to Replay as<br>described in part (ii) in the Description of the Business Combination and a reduction to Additional paid-in capital. As stipulated in Section 8.01 of the Transaction Agreement the Company may make<br>distributions, but only to the extent that the closing cash balance is equal to or greater than $250 million less transaction-related costs.
--- ---
(h) Represents a $201.5 million cash disbursement from the trust account to holders of redeemable Replay<br>Ordinary Shares for 19,753,406 Ordinary Shares of Replay that were redeemed at an assumed redemption price of approximately $10.20 per share based on the trust account balance as of March 31, 2021. The remaining 8,996,594 Ordinary Shares of<br>Replay were not redeemed and thus converted into Class A Common Stock shares upon the Domestication, as further discussed in note (m) below.
--- ---
(i) Represents the increase in Payables and accrued liabilities of $201.8 million and the settlement of<br>$1.5 million in Due from related parties for the redemption of all of the outstanding Class B Units held by B2R in FACo Holdings, which will be paid by FoA in connection with the closing of the Business Combination in accordance with the<br>FACo Holdings Agreement.
--- ---
(j) Represents the increase of Payables and other liabilities with an offset to Accumulated other comprehensive<br>(loss) income for the accrual of transaction costs incurred as a result of the transaction. Given that the accrual will occur upon the consummation of the transaction the Company will record the transaction costs on the black line.<br>
--- ---
(k) Reflects the increase of Payables and other liabilities with an offset to Accumulated other comprehensive<br>(loss) income for the settlement and payment to employees who hold phantom units in FoA, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan executed in October 2020. The payment is expected to be made promptly following the<br>closing of the transaction. In connection with the consummation of the transaction, FoA expects to achieve the Hurdle associated with the phantom units which is accounted for as an in-substance performance<br>condition. As a result, compensation cost associated with this settlement of the phantom units will be recognized in full upon achieving the Hurdle at the time of the closing of the transaction. Given that the Hurdle will be achieved upon the<br>consummation of the transaction the Company will record the compensation cost on the black line. Refer to note 24 in FoA’s notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021.<br>
--- ---
(l) Reflects the conversion of Replay Private Placement Warrants into Class A Common Stock of New Pubco. In<br>connection with the Business Combination and pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, Warrant Agreement, dated April 8, 2019, by and between Replay and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment<br>Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2021, by and among New Pubco, Replay and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 7,750,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor were exchanged for 775,000 Ordinary Shares prior to the<br>Domestication, which were converted by virtue of the Domestication to 775,000 Purchaser Common Units, which were converted by virtue of the Purchaser Merger to an aggregate of 775,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of New Pubco.<br>
--- ---
(m) Represents the conversion of 8,996,594 redeemable Ordinary Shares of Replay that were not redeemed and thus<br>converted into shares of Class A Common Stock with an offset to Additional paid-in capital upon the Domestication.
--- ---
(n) Represents the automatic conversion on a<br>one-for-one basis of the outstanding non-redeemable Ordinary Shares of Replay into Replay LLC Units, which will then<br>automatically convert into the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock upon the Domestication.
--- ---
(o) Represents the adjustment for FoA equity that is reclassified to Goodwill. FoA has been, and will continue to<br>be, treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As such, FoA’s profits and losses will flow through to its partners, including New Pubco, and are generally not subject to significant entity level taxes at the FoA<br>level. Upon completion of Business Combination, New Pubco will control FoA as the appointer of the board of managers of FoA and will be a holding company with no assets or operations other than its equity interest in FoA.
--- ---

As a result of the Business Combination, New Pubco initially owns approximately 31.3% of the economic interest of FoA, but has 100% of the voting power and controls the management of FoA. Immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, the ownership percentage held by the noncontrolling interest is approximately 68.7%.

(p) As a result of the transaction, New Pubco will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state,<br>local and foreign taxes. As a result, the pro forma balance sheet reflects an adjustment to our taxes assuming the federal rates currently in effect and the highest statutory rates apportioned to each state, local and foreign jurisdiction. The total<br>presented deferred tax liability is measured based on the following: (i) outside tax basis vs. US GAAP basis of New Pubco’s interest in the Company; (ii) net operating losses carried over from the Blocker; and (iii) tax<br>receivable agreement liability. In order to determine the outside tax basis used in the calculation of that portion of the net deferred tax liability, the Company considered the tax basis in the units acquired by Replay, the Founder Shares, and the<br>interest in the Company that was acquired as part of the Blocker Merger, as described in part (v) of the Description of the Business Combination.

We have recorded a deferred tax liability of $22.1 million. The deferred tax liability includes (i) a deferred tax liability of $33.1 million related to New Pubco’s investment in FoA, consisting of $24.0 million and $9.1 million from Blocker carryover and Founder Shares, respectively, and (ii) a deferred tax asset of $11.0 million related to tax benefits from future deductions attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement as described further in note (q) directly below. To the extent we determine it is more likely-than-not that we will not realize the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset, we will record an appropriate valuation allowance based on an analysis of the objective or subjective negative evidence.

Refer to note (u) for the purchase price allocation.

(q) In connection with the Business Combination, concurrently with the Closing, New Pubco entered into the<br>Blackstone Tax Receivable Agreement and the FoA Tax Receivable Agreement. The Tax Receivable Agreements generally provide for the payment by New Pubco to the TRA Parties of 85% of the cash tax benefits, if any, that New Pubco is deemed to realize<br>(calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of (i) tax basis adjustments as a result of sales and exchanges of FoA Units in connection with or following the Business Combination and certain distributions with respect to FoA Units,<br>(ii) New Pubco’s utilization of certain tax attributes attributable to Blocker or the Continuing Stockholders, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreements. New Pubco generally will<br>retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash tax benefits.

The $42.3 million adjustment related to the Tax Receivable Agreements assumes: (1) $342.3 million of cash paid to the TRA Parties in connection with the Business Combination (excluding the impact of additional transaction costs incurred as a result of the ransaction), (2) a share price equal to $10.00 per share, (3) a constant U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% and an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate of 5.13%, (4) no material changes in tax law, (5) the ability to utilize tax attributes based on current tax forecasts, and (6) future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements.

The amount of the expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements has been discounted to its present value using a discount rate of 9% as a result of the application of purchase accounting following ASC 805.

The adjustments related to the Tax Receivable Agreements have been recorded as an adjustment to Goodwill. Refer to note (u) for details of the consideration transferred and the purchase price allocation. New Pubco anticipates that it will account for the income tax effects resulting from future taxable exchanges of FoA Units by the TRA Parties for shares of Class A Common Stock or the cash equivalent thereof by recognizing an increase in deferred tax assets, based on enacted tax rates at the date of each exchange. Further, New Pubco will evaluate the likelihood that New Pubco will realize the benefit represented by the deferred tax asset, and, to the extent that New Pubco estimates that it is more likely than not that New Pubco will not realize the benefit, New Pubco will reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance.

The amount of expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements is dependent upon a number of factors, including New Pubco’s cash tax savings, the enacted tax rate in the years in which it utilizes tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreements, and current tax forecasts. These estimated rates and forecasts are subject to change based on actual results and realizations, which could have a material impact on the liability to be paid. If New Pubco exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreements or in the case of a change in control of New Pubco or a material breach of New Pubco’s obligations under either the Blackstone Tax Receivable Agreement or the FoA Tax Receivable Agreement, all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreements will be accelerated and New Pubco will be required to make a payment to the TRA Parties in an amount equal to the present value of future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements, which payment would be based on certain assumptions, including that New Pubco would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the tax deductions, tax basis and other tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreements. If New Pubco were to elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreements immediately after the Business Combination, (i) assuming the market value of a share of Class A Common Stock is equal to the FoA Units Cash Consideration paid per FoA Unit in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) assuming that 19,753,406 Public Shareholders exercised their right to have their Ordinary Shares redeemed on completion of the Business Combination, (iii) taking into account the effects of any cash payments paid under the A&R MLTIP in connection with the Business Combination (but disregarding the effects of any issuance of Replacement RSUs or Class A Common Stock pursuant to the A&R MLTIP or any payments that may be made pursuant to the A&R MLTIP that are not paid in connection with the Closing), and (iv) disregarding the effects of the issuance of any Earnout Securities, New Pubco currently estimates that it would be required to pay approximately $427.1 million to satisfy its total liability.

(r) Represents the estimated fair market value of the seller earnout, which will be settled with shares of<br>Class A Common Stock and is accounted for as a contingent consideration in accordance with ASC 805. The equity owners of FoA prior to the Closing are entitled to receive an earnout exchangeable for Class A Common Stock if, at any time<br>during the six years following Closing, the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock with respect to a trading day (the “VWAP”) is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any 20 trading days within a consecutive 30-trading-day period, 50% of the Earnout Securities will be issued; and if, at any time during the six years following Closing, the VWAP is greater than or equal to $15.00<br>for any 20 trading days within a consecutive 30-trading-day period, the remaining 50% of the Earnout Securities will be issued. As a result, the seller earnout<br>adjustment is an adjustment of $150.0 million to Goodwill and a corresponding increase of $150.0 million to Additional paid-in capital. The adjustment amount was determined by using a Monte Carlo<br>simulation to forecast the future daily price per share of Class A Common Stock over a six-year time period. Refer to note (u) for details of the consideration transferred and the purchase price<br>allocation.
(s) The adjustment represents the fair market value of the noncontrolling interest of FoA Units retained by the<br>Continuing Unitholders and shares of Class B Common Stock of New Pubco that provide the Continuing Unitholders with one-to-one voting rights for each share of<br>Class B Common Stock they own based on the organization structure as a result of the Business Combination. See table below for the computation of the controlling and noncontrolling interest:
--- ---
Amount Percentage
--- --- --- --- --- ---
FoA Units held by New Pubco 59,881,714 31.3 %
FoA Units retained by Continuing Unitholders 131,318,286 68.7 %
Total FoA Units 191,200,000 100.0 %

In addition to the 191,200,00 FoA Units outstanding, an additional 4,258,500 units will be issued upon the consummation of the Business Combination which relate to shares of unvested Class A Common Stock. Such shares will be subject to vesting and forfeiture restrictions and will have no rights to distributions or economics until such vesting conditions have been satisfied. Refer to “Other Agreements Related to the Transaction Agreement—Sponsor Agreement” for additional details.

Refer to note (u) for details of the consideration transferred and the purchase price allocation.

(t) This adjustment reflects the issuance of 34,106,714 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of<br>$0.0001 per share and Additional paid-in capital of $564.1 million related to the consideration transferred by Replay and Blocker, which together, along with the PIPE investors discussed in note (f),<br>comprise the controlling interest in FoA.

Refer to note (u) for details of the consideration transferred and the purchase price allocation.

(u) Represents the adjustment for the estimated preliminary purchase price allocation for the FoA business<br>resulting from the Business Combination. The preliminary calculation of total consideration and allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of FoA’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed is presented below as if the Business<br>Combination were consummated on March 31, 2021. New Pubco has not completed the detailed valuations necessary to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and, accordingly, the adjustments to<br>
record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value reflect the best estimates of New Pubco based on the information currently available and are subject to change once additional<br>analyses are completed.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets were identified that met either the separability criterion or the contractual legal criterion described in ASC 805. The trade name intangible assets represent the values of all of the Company’s trade names. The broker/customer relationships intangible asset represents the existing broker/customer relationships and the developed technology intangible asset represents internally developed technology that had been obtained through FoA’s past acquisitions.

Identifiable intangible assets Fair value (in<br>thousands) Useful life (in years)
Indefinite lived trade name $ 153,300 n/a
Broker/customer relationships 223,800 10.0
Developed technology 1,000 5.0
Total $ 378,100

Goodwill. Approximately $1,591.9 million has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from acquiring FoA primarily due to its strong market position and its assembled workforce that are not individually identified and separately recognized as intangible assets.

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets related to certain acquired brands will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. In the event management of the combined company determines that the value of goodwill and/or indefinite/finite lived intangible assets has become impaired, an accounting charge for impairment during the quarter in which the determination is made may be recognized.

2. Adjustments and Assumptions to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Statement of Operations for thethree months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, reflect the following adjustments:

(a) Represents the Replay historical unaudited condensed statement of operations for the three months ended<br>March 31, 2021 and the restated audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 respectively.
(b) Represents the FoA historical unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended<br>March 31, 2021 and the audited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.
--- ---
(c) Represents the impact of the 7.875% Senior Notes offering by FoA.
--- ---
(d) Reflects an increase in interest expense of $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as a<br>result of the Senior Notes offering due to the incurrence of $350.0 million borrowings, assuming a fixed stated interest rate of 7.875%, as well as amortization of the original issue discount and deferred financing costs.
--- ---
(e) Represents the elimination of the gain (loss) on the remeasurement of the Replay Private Placement Warrants for<br>the three months ended March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020. In connection with the Business Combination and pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, Warrant Agreement, dated April 8, 2019, by and between Replay and Continental<br>Stock Transfer & Trust Company and that the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2021, by and among New Pubco, Replay and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 7,750,000 Private Placement<br>Warrants held by the Sponsor were exchanged for 775,000 Ordinary Shares prior to the Domestication, which were converted by virtue of the Domestication to 775,000 Purchaser Common Units, which were converted by virtue of the Purchaser Merger to an<br>aggregate of 775,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.
--- ---
(f) Represents the elimination of gains on marketable securities, dividends and interest held in Replay’s<br>Trust Account.
--- ---
(g) Represents compensation cost of $10.5 million and $77.2 million for the three months ended<br>March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, related to the vesting of Replacement RSUs and Earnout Right RSUs of New Pubco.
--- ---

Pursuant to the terms of the A&R MLTIP, FoA will grant to each employee who held phantom units in FoA and remains employed as of the RSU grant date, in consideration for the cancellation of their phantom units, Replacement RSUs that will vest into shares of New Pubco Class A Common Stock with a grant date fair value that approximates the transaction price per share of Class A Common Stock. Following the terms of the A&R MLTIP, 25% of the Replacement RSUs will vest on the RSU grant date, and the remaining 75% will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the closing of the transaction, subject to each holder’s continued employment. The compensation cost recognized in this adjustment is equal to the grant date fair value of the Replacement RSUs multiplied by the portion of the Replacement RSUs that would have vested if the award had been outstanding on January 1, 2020 using a straight line attribution method.

In addition to the Replacement RSUs, participants in the A&R MLTIP will be entitled to receive additional Earnout Right RSUs if New Pubco achieves specified volume-weighted average price per share targets of $12.50 per share and $15.00 per share during the six year period following the transaction, subject to continued employment. The Earnout Right RSUs will have the same service-based vesting conditions as the Replacement RSUs to which they relate, as discussed above. The volume-weighted average price per share targets have been treated as market-based vesting conditions and have been factored into the

grant date fair value measurement of the Earnout Right RSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation. The compensation cost recognized in this adjustment is equal to the grant date fair value of the Earnout Right RSUs multiplied by the portion of the Earnout Right RSUs that would have service vested if the award had been outstanding on January 1, 2020 using a graded vesting attribution method.

The total compensation cost associated with the vesting of the Replacement RSUs and Earnout Right RSUs will be directly allocated to the noncontrolling interest and Blocker.

(h) Represents adjustments to incorporate additional intangible assets amortization for the step-up in basis from purchase price accounting (“PPA”) at the closing of the Business Combination. This pro forma adjustment has been proposed assuming the Business Combination happened on January 1,<br>2020. The following table is a summary of information related to certain intangible assets acquired, including information used to calculate the pro forma change in amortization expenses that is adjusted to General and administrative expenses:<br>
Identifiable intangible assets Fair value (in<br>thousands Useful life<br>(in years) Amortization<br>Expense for the<br>Three Months<br>Ended March 31,<br>2021 Amortization<br>expense for the<br>Year ended<br>December 31,<br>2020
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Indefinite lived trade name $ 153,300 n/a $
Broker/customer relationships 223,800 10.0 5,595 22,380
Developed technology 1,000 5.0 50 200
Total $ 378,100 $ 5,645 $ 22,580
Less: Historical amortization expense 629 2,514
Pro forma adjustments $ 5,016 $ 20,066
(i) FoA has been, and will continue to be, treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes.<br>As such, FoA’s profits and losses will flow through to its partners, including New Pubco, and are generally not subject to tax at the FoA level. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Pubco will be subject to U.S. federal<br>income taxes, in addition to state, local and foreign taxes.
--- ---

As a result, the pro forma adjustment for provision for income taxes represents tax expense on income that will be taxable in jurisdictions after our corporate reorganization that previously had not been taxable. The adjustment is calculated as pro forma income attributable to New Pubco before income taxes multiplied by the pro forma effective tax rate, which is representative of the blended statutory tax rate, of 26.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The table below includes a reconciliation of the blended statutory tax rate applied to each of the pro forma adjustments in arriving at the pro forma effective tax rates discussed above:

U.S Federal Statutory Income Tax Rate 21.00 %
Blended State Rate net of Federal Benefit 5.13 %
Blended Statutory Tax Rate 26.13 %
(j) Represents the elimination of Net income (loss) attributable to CRNCI.
--- ---
(k) As a result of the Business Combination, New Pubco controls FoA and has the exclusive right to appoint the<br>board of managers of FoA and is a holding company with no assets or operations other than its equity interest in FoA.
--- ---

New Pubco initially owns approximately 31.3% of the economic interest of FoA, but has 100% of the voting power and will control the management of FoA. Immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, the ownership percentage held by the noncontrolling interest is approximately 68.7%.

In addition, as discussed above in note (g) expenses associated with the A&R MLTIP will be directly allocated to the noncontrolling interest and Blocker.

(l) Represents the basic and diluted income per share as a result of the pro forma adjustments for the three months<br>ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The table below presents the pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share for New Pubco:

Weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding - diluted 191,200,000 191,200,000
Diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.41 $ 1.38
(1) This adjustment assumes the after-tax elimination of noncontrolling<br>interest due to the assumed exchange of all Class A Units outstanding for shares of Class A Common Stock as of the beginning of the period.
--- ---
(2) The if-converted method for the diluted weighted average share<br>calculation is used to give effect to the provisions of the Exchange Agreement and assume the Class A Unitholders exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for<br>shares of New Pubco Class A Common Stock.
--- ---

Diluted income per share was calculated following the if-converted method, which was determined to be more dilutive than applying the treasury stock method for the periods presented. The if-converted method assumes that the Class A Unitholders, representing the noncontrolling interest, exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for shares of New Pubco Class A Common Stock. Following the terms of the A&R LLC Agreement, the Class A Unitholders will bear approximately 86% of the cost of the one-time lump sum cash payment to holders of phantom units and any vesting associated with the Replacement RSUs and Earnout Right RSUs prior to any distribution by FoA to such Class A Unitholders. The remaining compensation cost associated with the phantom units, Replacement RSUs and Earnout Right RSUs will be shared by Blocker. As a result of the application of the if-converted method, in arriving at diluted net income per share, the entirety of the compensation cost associated with the phantom units and vesting of the Replacement RSUs and Earnout Right RSUs is assumed to be included in the net income attributable to holders of Class A Common Stock.

(m) The pro forma adjustments described above do not reflect an elimination of $4.0 million and<br>$9.0 million of transaction costs incurred by FoA in its historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended<br>December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Proposed Business Combination will close on April 1, 2021. Refer to Note 32 - Subsequent Events for additional information.

Ongoing Risks

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted global financial markets and contributed to significant volatility in market liquidity and yields required by market investors in the type of financial instruments originated by the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries. In the U.S., significant fiscal stimulus measures, monetary policy actions and other relief measures have helped to moderate the negative economic impacts of COVID-19, and have supported the economic recovery which began in 2020 and continues into 2021. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted into law. In March 2021, the U.S. federal government passed a $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act or ARPA, which together with the CARES Act and other fiscal stimulus measures put in place in 2020, provide for, among other things, funding to state and local governments, direct payments to households, support for small businesses, renter assistance and funding for transport, airlines, healthcare and education. Monetary policy decisions have included quantitative easing and the provision of liquidity to financial institutions and credit markets. In addition, housing measures, such as forbearance on mortgages and suspension of foreclosures and evictions, and various executive orders have helped to provide relief.

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report. The Company’s management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. Further, the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic on the residential mortgage and commercial lending industries. As of March 31, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic remains in place and impacts the economic environment in which the Company conducts business but has not had a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for three months ended March 31, 2021. However, as the pandemic continues, it may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, intangible assets and liquidity in fiscal year 2021.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

FoA is a holding company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 2020. Through its Parent, the Company is owned by Libman Family Holdings, LLC, certain investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group Inc. (“Blackstone”) and other co-investors (collectively, the “Initial Investors”). There are no historical operating results as, contemporaneous with the formation of FoA, UFG contributed all of its operating subsidiaries into FoA in a common control reorganization. The reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization under common control and, accordingly, the historical basis of accounting was retained as if the entities had always been combined for financial reporting purposes. The Company conducts substantially all of its business operations through its operating subsidiaries. In October 2020, UFG and FoA entered into a transaction agreement with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), pursuant to which, the SPAC will acquire an equity interest in FoA from its Initial Investors.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The significant accounting policies described below, together with the other notes that follow, are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when it has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (2) exposure to benefits and/or losses that could potentially be significant to the entity. Assets and liabilities of VIEs and their respective results of operations are consolidated from the date that the Company became the primary beneficiary through the date that the Company ceases to be the primary beneficiary.

The company consolidates the accounts of Finance of America Commercial Holdings LLC (“FACo Holdings”), the noncontrolling interests of which meet the definition of contingently redeemable financial instruments for which the ability to redeem is outside the control of the consolidating entity. The Contingently Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest (“CRNCI”) in this subsidiary is shown as a separate caption between liabilities and equity. Any income or losses attributable to the CRNCI are shown as an addition to or deduction from CRNCI in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. See Note 25 - Changes in CRNCI for further discussion of the CRNCI and additions to or deductions from the CRNCI balance.

Net Income Per Unit

FoA’s capital structure consists of a single class of outstanding membership units which are held by one member, UFG. Therefore, the Company has omitted earnings per unit due to the limited number of LLC unit holders for the periods presented.

January 2020 The Company determined that certain servicer advances and other receivables, net of reserves including in other assets are with the scope of ASU 2016-13. The Company determined that these receivables have limited expected<br>credit-related losses due to the contractual servicing agreements with agencies and loan product guarantees. Furthermore, the Company determined that for outstanding servicer and other advances, that the majority of estimated losses are attributable<br>to losses due to servicing operational errors and credit-related losses are not significant because of the contractual relationship with the agencies.

If the carrying value exceeds fair value, an entity performs the second step, which assigns the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, in the same manner as required<br>in purchase accounting and then records an impairment. This ASU eliminates the second step.<br> <br><br><br><br>Under the new guidance, an impairment of a reporting unit’s goodwill is determined based on the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value<br>exceeds its fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

3. Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations
--- ---

The Company determined that the SPEs created in connection with its securitizations are VIEs. A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that, through its variable interests has both the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligations to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Finance of AmericaCommercial

Finance of America Commercial LLC (“FACo”) securitizes certain of its interests in fix & flip mortgages. The transactions provide debt security holders the ability to invest in a pool of performing loans secured by investment real estate. The transactions provide the Company with access to liquidity for the loans and ongoing management fees. The principal and interest on the outstanding debt securities are paid using the cash flows from the underlying loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The Company has determined that the securitization structure meets the definition of a VIE. In its capacity as servicer of the securitized loans, the Company retains the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. The Company has also retained certain beneficial interests in these trusts which provide exposure to potential gains and losses on the performance of the trust. As the Company has both the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligations to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company has determined it meets the definition of the primary beneficiary and consolidates the trusts.

Certain obligations may arise from the agreements associated with transfers of loans. Under these agreements, the Company may be obligated to repurchase the loans, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse the investor for losses incurred due to material breach of contractual representations and warranties.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no charge-offs associated with these transferred mortgage loans related to the standard securitization representations and warranties obligations.

Finance of America Reverse

Finance of America Reverse LLC (“FAR”) securitizes certain of its interests in non-performing reverse mortgages and non-agency reverse mortgage loans. The transactions provide investors with the ability to invest in a pool of reverse mortgage loans secured by one-to-four-family residential properties. The transactions provide FAR with access to liquidity for these assets, ongoing servicing fees, and potential residual returns. The principal and interest on the outstanding certificates are paid using the cash flows from the underlying reverse mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The securitizations are callable at or following the optional redemption date as defined in the respective indenture agreements. FAR has determined that these securitization structures meet the definition of VIEs. In its capacity as servicer of the securitized loans, the Company retains the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance. The Company has also retained certain beneficial interests in these trusts which provide exposure to potential gains and losses on the performance of the trust. As the Company has both the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company has determined it meets the definition of the primary beneficiary and consolidates the trusts.

In February 2021, the Company executed its optional redemption of outstanding securitized notes related to outstanding nonperforming HECM securitizations. As part of the optional redemption, the Company paid off notes with an outstanding principal balance of $294.2 million. The notes were paid off at par.

Renovate America Inc.

On March 26, 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of Renovate America Inc. (“RAI”) in an asset purchase agreement for $43.5 million. The transaction will be accounted for using the acquisition method, including $36.0 million in total assets acquired resulting from the purchase have been initially recorded, consisting primarily of purchased loans, with the remaining $7.5 million of the purchase price being allocated to goodwill. Under the acquisition method of accounting, RAI’s assets and liabilities will be recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date with the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, recognized as goodwill.

Additional disclosures required by ASC 805, Business Combinations, with respect to the acquisition have been omitted because the information needed for the disclosures is not currently available due to the close proximity of closing of this transaction with the date these consolidated financial statements are being issued.

5. Fair Value

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and follows a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation.

All aspects of nonperformance risk, including the Company’s own credit standing, are considered when measuring the fair value of a liability.

Following is a description of the three levels:

Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

16 ****

Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Level 2 Inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Inputs: Instruments with unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company classifies assets in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers within the hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and the details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models and significant assumptions utilized.

Reverse Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, Subject to HMBS RelatedObligations, at Fair Value

HECM loans securitized into Ginnie Mae “GNMA” HMBS are not actively traded in open markets with readily observable market prices.

The Company values HECM loans securitized into GNMA HMBS utilizing a present value methodology that discounts estimated projected cash flows over the life of the loan portfolio using prepayment, borrower mortality, borrower draw and discounts rate assumptions management believes a market participant would use in estimating fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement include:

Conditional Repayment Rate - the Company projects borrower prepayment rates which considers borrower age and gender and is based on historical termination rates. The outputs of borrower prepayment rates, which include both voluntary and involuntary prepayments, are utilized to anticipate future terminations.

Loss Frequency/Severity - termination proceeds are adjusted for expected loss frequencies and severities to arrive at net proceeds that will be provided upon final resolution. Historical experience is utilized to estimate the loss rates resulting from scenarios where FHA insurance proceeds are not expected to cover all principal and interest outstanding and, as servicer, the Company is exposed to losses upon resolution of the loan. Loss frequency and severities are based upon the historical experience with specific loan resolution waterfalls.

Due and Payable Triggers - the input for terminations not attributable to an FHA assignment is based on historical foreclosure and liquidation experience.

Discount Rate - derived based upon reference to yields required by market participants for recent transactions in the HECM loan bulk market adjusted based upon weighted average life of the loan portfolio. This rate reflects what the Company believes to be a market participant’s required yield on HECM loans of similar weighted average lives. The yield spread is applied over interpolated benchmark curve or as a spread over collateral forward curve.

Borrower Draw Rates - the draw curve is estimated based upon the historical experience with the specific product type contemplating the borrower’s age and loan age.

Changes to any of these assumptions could result in significantly different valuation results. The Company classifies reverse mortgage loans held for investment as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy, as they are dependent on unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the weighted average significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of reverse mortgage loans held for investment, subject to HMBS related obligations, for the periods indicated:

Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, at Fair Value

Reverse Mortgage Loans

Reverse mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value, consists of originated or purchased HECM and non-agency reverse mortgage loans not yet securitized, unsecuritized tails, and certain HECMs purchased out of GNMA HMBS (“Inventory Buyouts”) that the Company intends to securitize for purposes of serving as collateral for future securitization transfers.

Originated or purchased HECM loans held for investment are valued predominantly by utilizing forward HMBS prices for similar pool characteristics and based on observable market data. These amounts are further adjusted to include future cash flows that would be earned for servicing the HECM loan over the life of the asset.

Unsecuritized tails consists of performing and nonperforming repurchased loans. The fair value of performing unsecuritized tails are valued at current pricing levels for similar GNMA HMBS. The fair value of nonperforming unsecuritized tails is based on expected claim proceeds from HUD upon assignment of the loans.

The fair value of repurchased loans is based on expected cash proceeds of the liquidation of the underlying properties and expected claim proceeds from HUD. The primary assumptions utilized in valuing nonperforming repurchased loans include loss frequency and loss severity. Termination proceeds are adjusted for expected loss frequencies and severities to arrive at net proceeds that will be provided upon final resolution, including assignments to FHA. Historical experience is utilized to estimate the loss rates resulting from scenarios where FHA insurance proceeds are not expected to cover all principal and interest outstanding and as servicer, the Company is exposed to losses upon resolution of the loan.

The Company classifies reverse mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy.

Inventory Buyouts

The fair value of Inventory Buyouts is based on the expected cash proceeds of the liquidation of the underlying properties and expected claim proceeds from HUD. The primary assumptions utilized in valuing Inventory Buyouts include loss frequency and loss severity. Termination proceeds are adjusted for expected loss frequencies and severities to arrive at net proceeds that will be provided upon final resolution, including assignments to FHA.

As of March 2021, management made the decision to change the classification of fix & flip loans from mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value, to mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value.

Mortgage LoansHeld for Sale, at Fair Value

Reverse Mortgage Loans

Reverse mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value, consists of unpoolable loans that the Company intends to sell to third party investors. Reverse mortgage loans held for sale consists primarily of performing repurchased loans. The fair value of performing unpoolable loans is based on expected claim proceeds from HUD upon assignment of the loans. In certain instances the loan balance may exceed the maximum claim amount (“MCA”). In these instances, the fair value is based on expected proceeds from sale of the underlying property and any additional HUD claim proceeds. The Company classifies reverse mortgage loans held for sale as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy.

Residential and Commercial Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans held for sale include residential and commercial mortgage loans originated by the Company and held until sold to secondary market investors. The Company primarily originates conventional GSEs and government (FHA and Department of Veterans Affairs) residential mortgage loans (collectively “residential mortgage loans held for sale”) and recourse and nonrecourse commercial mortgage loans to owners and investors of single and multi-family residential rental properties (“commercial loans held for sale”).

Residential Mortgage Loans

The Company originates or purchases mortgage loans in the U.S. that it intends to sell to FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA (collectively “the Agencies”). Additionally, the Company originates or purchases mortgage loans in the U.S. that it intends to sell into the secondary markets via whole loan sales. Mortgage loans held for sale are typically pooled and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility, product type, interest rate, and credit quality. In addition, the Company may originate loans that do not meet specific underwriting criteria and are not eligible to be sold to the Agencies. Two valuation methodologies are

22

Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

used to determine the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale. The methodology used depends on the exit market as described below:

Loans valued using observable market prices for identical or similar assets - This includes all mortgage loans that can be sold to the Agencies, which are valued predominantly by published forward agency prices. This will also include all non-agency loans where recently negotiated market prices for the loan pool exist with a counterparty (which approximates fair value), or quoted market prices for similar loans are available. As these valuations are derived from quoted market prices, the Company classified these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures. During periods of illiquidity of the mortgage marketplace, it may be necessary to look for alternative sources of value, including the whole loan purchase market for similar loans, and place more reliance on the valuations using internal models.

Loans valued using internal models – To the extent observable market prices are not available, the Company will determine the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale using a collateral based valuation model, which approximates expected cash proceeds on liquidation. For loans where bid prices or commitment prices are unavailable, these valuation models estimate the exit price the Company expects to receive in the loan’s principal market and are based on a combination of recent appraisal values, adjusted for certain loss factors. The Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

The Company primarily originates two separate commercial loan products that it classifies as held for sale: Single Rental Loan (“SRL”) and Portfolio Lending.

SRL

The SRL product is designed for small/individual real estate investors looking to purchase and then rent-out a single property. These are 30-year loans with fixed interest rates typically between 5.0%

  • 8.0%. This product is valued using a discounted cash flow model. The Company classifies these mortgage loans as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy.

“NM” - these “Not Meaningful” inputs do not have an applicable range, as they are a single derivedinput.

Portfolio Lending

The Portfolio product is designed for larger investors with multiple properties. Specifically, these loans are useful for consolidating multiple rental property mortgages into a single loan. These loans have fixed coupons that typically range from 5.0% - 6.2%, with 5 and 10-year balloon structures, as well as a 30 year structure. This product is valued using a discounted cash flow model. The Company classifies these mortgage loans as Level 3 assets within the GAAP hierarchy.

Due to limited sales activity and periodically unobservable prices in certain of the Company’s markets, certain mortgage loans held for sale portfolios may transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 in future periods.

Fix & Flip

As of March 2021, management made the decision to change the classification of fix & flip loans from mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value, to mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value.

MortgageServicing Rights

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company valued mortgage servicing rights internally. The significant assumptions utilized to determine fair value are projected prepayments using the Public Securities Association Standard Prepayment Model, discount rates, and projected servicing costs that vary based on the loan type and delinquency. The Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 since they are dependent on unobservable inputs.

Fair value is derived through a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model. This computer valuation is based on the objective characteristics of the portfolio (loan amount, note rate, etc.) and commonly used industry assumptions (PSAs, etc.). The assumptions taken into account by the pricing model are those which many active purchasers of servicing employ in their evaluations of portfolios for sale in the secondary market. The unique characteristics of the secondary servicing market often dictate adjustments to parameters over short periods of time.

Subjective factors are also considered in the derivation of fair values, including levels of supply and demand for servicing, interest rate trends, and perception of risk not incorporated into prepayment assumptions.

Fair value is defined as the estimated price at which the servicing would change hands in the marketplace between a willing buyer and seller. The valuation assumes that neither party would be under any compulsion to buy or sell and that each has reasonably complete and accurate knowledge of all relevant aspects of the offered servicing. The fair values represented in this analysis have been derived under the assumptions that sufficient time would be available to market the portfolio.

The following tables summarize certain information regarding the servicing portfolio of retained MSRs for the periods indicated:

March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020

“NM” - these “Not Meaningful” inputs do not have an applicable range, as they are a single derivedinput.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of MSRs from adverse changes in the significant assumptions (in thousands):

Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change **** (17,195 ) **** (21,550 ) **** (390 )

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Some of the derivatives held by the Company are exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilizes the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 1. In addition, the Company enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers. Commitments to fund residential mortgage loans with potential borrowers are a binding agreement to lend funds to these potential borrowers at a specified interest rate within a specified period of time. The fair value of IRLCs is derived from the fair value of similar mortgage loans or bonds, which is based on observable market data. Changes to the fair value of IRLCs are recognized based on changes in interest rates, changes in the probability that the commitment will be exercised (pull through factor), and the passage of time. The expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan are included in the fair value measurement of IRLCs. The Company adjusts the outstanding IRLCs with prospective borrowers based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. Given the unobservable nature of the pull through factor, IRLCs are classified as Level 3.

In addition, the Company executes derivative contracts, including forward commitments, TBAs, interest rate swaps, and interest rate swap futures, as part of its overall risk management strategy related to its reverse mortgage and commercial loan portfolios. The value of the forward commitments is estimated using current market prices for HMBS and are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. TBAs are valued based on forward dealer marks from the Company’s approved counterparties and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The value of interest rate swaps and interest rate swap futures is based on the exchange price or dealer market prices. The Company classifies interest rate swaps as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company classifies interest rate swap futures as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The value of the forward MBS is based on forward prices with dealers in such securities or internally-developed third party models utilizing observable market inputs. The Company classifies forward MBS as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments, at Fair Value

The Company invests in the equity of other companies in the form of common stock, preferred stock, or other in-substance equity interests. To the extent market prices are not observable, the Company engages third-party

valuation experts to assist in determining the fair value of these investments. The values are determined utilizing a market approach which estimates fair value based on what other participants in the market have paid for reasonably similar assets that have been sold within a reasonable period from the valuation date. The Company classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.

HMBS Related Obligations, at Fair Value

The HMBS related obligation valuation considers the obligation to pass FHA insured cash flows through to the beneficial interest holders (repayment of secured borrowing) of the HMBS securities and the servicer and issuer obligations of the Company.

The valuation of the obligation to repay the secured borrowing is estimated using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the estimated life of the liability. The estimated fair value of the HMBS related obligations also includes the consideration required by a market participant to transfer the HECM and HMBS servicing obligations including exposure resulting from shortfalls in FHA insurance proceeds.

The Company’s valuation considers assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing the liability, including, but not limited to, assumptions for repayment, costs to transfer servicing obligations, shortfalls in FHA insurance proceeds, and discount rates. The significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement include:

Borrower Repayment Rates - the conditional repayment rate curve considers borrower age and gender is based on historical termination rates.

Discount Rate - derived based on an assessment of current market yields and spreads that a market participant would consider for entering into an obligation to pass FHA insured cash flows through to holders of the HMBS beneficial interests. Yield spread applied over interpolated benchmark curve or as a spread over collateral forward curve.

The following table presents the weighted average significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of HMBS related obligations for the periods indicated:

March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Range of Input Weighted Average<br>of Input Range of Input Weighted Average<br>of Input

“NM” - these “Not Meaningful” inputs do not have an applicable range, as they are a single derivedinput.

Nonrecourse Debt

Reverse Mortgage Loans

Outstanding notes issued that are securitized by nonrecourse debt are paid using the cash flows from the underlying reverse mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. Nonrecourse debt is estimated using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the estimated life of the liability. The significant unobservable inputs used in the measurement include:

Weighted Average Remaining Life - the projected remaining life is based on the expected conditional prepayment rate, which is utilized to determine future terminations.

Borrower Repayment Rates - the conditional repayment rate curve considers borrower age and gender is based on historical termination rates.

Discount Rate - derived based on an assessment of current market yields and spreads that a market participant would consider for entering into an obligation to pass FHA insured cash flows through to holders of the HMBS beneficial interests. Yield spread applied over interpolated benchmark curve or as a spread over collateral forward curve.

The Company’s valuation considers assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing the liability, including, but not limited to, assumptions for prepayment and discount rates. The following table presents

Commercial Mortgage Loans

Outstanding nonrecourse notes issued that are securitized by loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt, are paid using the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans. The fair value of nonrecourse debt is estimated using Level 3 unobservable market inputs. The estimated fair value is based on the net present value of projected cash flows over the estimated life of the liability.

The Company’s valuation considers assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing the liability, including, but not limited to, assumptions for prepayment and discount rates. The Company estimates prepayment speeds giving consideration that the Company may in the future transfer additional loans to the trust, subject to the availability of funds provided for within the trust. The following table presents the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of nonrecourse debt for the periods indicated:

March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020

Discount rate **** NM **** **** 6.5 % NM 5.8 %

“NM” - these “Not Meaningful” inputs do not have an applicable range, as they are a single derivedinput.

Deferred Purchase Price Liabilities

Deferred purchase price liabilities are measured using a present value of future payments which considers various assumptions, including future loan origination volumes, projected earnings and discount rates. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company utilized discount rates ranging from 12% to 21% to value the deferred purchase price liabilities. As this value is largely based on unobservable inputs, the Company classifies this liability as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Nonrecourse MSR Financing Liability, at Fair Value

The Company has agreed to sell to certain third parties the right to receive all excess servicing and ancillary fees related to identified mortgage servicing rights in exchange for an upfront payment equal to the entire purchase price of the indentified mortgage servicing rights.

Consistent with the underlying mortgage servicing rights, fair value is derived through a discounted cash flow analysis and calculated using a computer pricing model. This computer valuation is based on the objective characteristics of the portfolio (loan amount, note rate, etc.) and commonly used industry assumptions (PSAs, etc.). The assumptions taken into account by the pricing model are those which many active purchasers of servicing employ in their evaluations of portfolios for sale in the secondary market. The unique characteristics of the secondary servicing market often dictate adjustments to parameters over short periods of time.

Subjective factors are also considered in the derivation of fair values, including levels of supply and demand for servicing, interest rate trends, and perception of risk not incorporated into prepayment assumptions.

The Company classifies the valuations of the nonrecourse MSR financing liability as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.

The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the outstanding nonrecourse MSR financing liability were as follows (in annual rates):

March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Range of Input Weighted Averageof Input Range of Input Weighted Averageof Input
Weighted average prepayment speed (CPR) **** 5.7% - 12.3 % **** 8.9 % 6.9% - 12.7 % 11.6 %
Discount rate **** 10.8% - 11.1 % **** 11.0 % 11.7% - 12.0 % 12.0 %
Weighted average delinquency rate **** NM **** **** 0.9 % NM 1.8 %

“NM” - these “Not Meaningful” inputs do not have an applicable range, as they are a single derivedinput.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of the nonrecourse MSR financing liability, at fair value from adverse changes in the significant assumptions (in thousands):

March 31, 2021
WeightedAveragePrepaymentSpeed DiscountRate WeightedAverageDelinquencyRate
Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change $ (740 ) $ (921 ) $ (10 )
Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change (1,433 ) (1,768 ) (20 )

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.

12. Derivatives and Risk Management Activities

The Company’s principal market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically long-term U.S. Treasury and mortgage interest rates, due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments.

Various financial instruments are used to manage and reduce this risk, including forward delivery commitments on mortgage-backed securities or whole loans and interest rate swaps.

The Company did not have any derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments or subject to master netting and collateral agreements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company pledged deposits of $0.1 million and $12.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Nonrecourse MSR Financing Liability, at Fair Value

The Company has agreements with third parties to sell beneficial interests in the servicing fees generated from certain of its originated or acquired mortgage servicing rights. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to sell to the third parties the right to receive all excess servicing and ancillary fees related to the identified MSRs in exchange for an upfront payment equal to the entire purchase price of the identified mortgage servicing rights. These transactions are accounted for as financings under ASC 470*, Debt* and included in payables and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The Company elected to measure the outstanding financings related to the nonrecourse MSR financing liability, at fair value, as permitted under ASC 825*,Financial Instruments*, with all changes in fair value recorded as a charge or credit to fee income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The fair value on the nonrecourse MSR financing liability is based on the present value of expected future cash flows to be paid to the third parties with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. See Note 30 - Related Parties for additional information regarding the nonrecourse MSR financing liability.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the weighted average outstanding interest rates on outstanding debt of the Company were 3.17% and 3.15%, respectively.

The Company’s borrowing arrangements and credit facilities contain various financial covenants which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage requirements, and profitability requirements. As a result of market disruptions and fair value accounting adjustments taken in March 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, FACo was in violation of its first, second, and third quarter 2020 profitability covenants with two of its warehouse lenders. The Company received waivers of these covenants violations from both lenders as well as amendments to profitability covenants for the remaining quarters of 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

The terms of the Company’s financing arrangements and credit facilities contain covenants, and the terms of the Company’s GSE/seller servicer contracts contain requirements that may restrict the Company and its subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

from paying distributions to its members. These restrictions include restrictions on paying distributions, whenever the payment of such distributions would cause FoA to no longer be in compliance with any of its financial covenants or GSE requirements. Further, the Company is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of the Company (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. Subsidiaries of the Company are generally subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to FoA.

20. Notes Payable, Net

Senior Unsecured Notes

In November 2020, FOAF issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 beginning on May 15, 2021. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by FoA and each of FoA’s material existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, excluding FOAF and subsidiaries.

At any time prior to November 15, 2022, FOAF may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the applicable premium as of the redemption date under the terms of the indenture and accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price during each of the twelve-month periods following November 15, 2022, November 15, 2023 and at any time after November 15, 2024 is 103.938%, 101.969% and 100.000%, respectively, of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. At any time prior to November 15, 2022, FOAF may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior unsecured notes redeemed, with an amount equal to or less than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the holders of the Notes will have the right to require FOAF to make an offer to repurchase each holder’s Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Notes contain covenants limiting, among other things, FOAF and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, incur liens, make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and merge or consolidate or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of FOAF’s assets. These incurrence based covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications. Many of these covenants will cease to apply during any time that the Notes have investment grade ratings and no default has occurred and continuing. The Company was in compliance with all required covenants related to the Notes as of March 31, 2021.

Financing Agreements

As a part of the Company’s acquisitions of certain subsidiaries, the Company entered into various note agreements with the sellers. In addition, in 2017, the Company entered into an agreement for the purchase of computer hardware and equipment which was financed by notes payable to the seller with monthly payments through January 2021.

A summary of the outstanding notes payable, net, is presented in the table below (in thousands):

Description Maturity Date Interest Rate March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Senior Unsecured Notes November 2025 7.9 % $ 350,000 **** $ 350,000

Total aggregate principle amount $ 350,000 **** $ 350,009
Less: Debt issuance costs $ (13,704 ) $ (13,436 )
Total notes payable and other debt, net $ 336,296 **** $ 336,573

The interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $7.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

21. Leases

The Company’s lease portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate and equipment agreements. Operating leases in which the Company is the lessee are recorded as operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, included in other assets, net, and payables and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not currently have any finance leases in which it is the lessee. Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

For operating leases, the lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease

48

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. This incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment and given similar credit risk. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease. The Company includes these options in the lease term when it is reasonably certain of exercising them.

ROU assets are further adjusted for lease incentives. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company recognizes variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases when the variability is resolved. Variable lease payments are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income along with expenses arising from fixed lease payments.

22. Litigation
--- ---

The Company’s business is subject to legal proceedings, examinations, investigations and reviews by various federal, state and local regulatory and enforcement agencies as well as private litigants such as the Company’s borrowers or former employees. At any point in time, the Company may have open investigations with regulators or enforcement agencies, including examinations and inquiries related to its loan servicing and origination practices. These matters and other pending or potential future investigations, examinations, inquiries or lawsuits may lead to administrative or legal proceedings, and possibly result in remedies, including fines, penalties, restitution, or alterations in business practices, and in additional expenses and collateral costs.

As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Once the matter is deemed to be both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount to litigation related expense. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Legal expenses, which includes, among other things, settlements and the fees paid to external legal service providers, of $4.2 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

For certain matters, the Company may consider a loss to be probable or reasonably possible but cannot provide a precise estimate of losses. For these matters, the Company may be able to estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its material litigation and regulatory matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter. As of March 31, 2021, there were no matters that the Company considered to be probable or reasonably possible for which they could provide a reasonable range of estimated losses.

23. Commitments and Contingencies

Servicing of Mortgage Loans

Sub-Servicing

The Company has contracted with third-party providers to perform specified servicing functions on its behalf. These services include maintaining borrower contact, facilitating borrower advances, generating borrower statements, and facilitating loss-mitigation strategies in an attempt to keep defaulted borrowers in their homes. Defaults on reverse mortgages leading to foreclosures may occur if borrowers fail to meet maintenance obligations, such as payment of taxes or home insurance premiums. When a default cannot be cured, the sub-servicers manage the foreclosure process and the filing of any insurance claims with HUD. The sub-servicers have responsibility for remitting timely advances and statements to borrowers and timely and accurate claims to HUD, including compliance with local, state and federal regulatory requirements.

Additionally, the sub-servicers are also responsible for remitting payments to investors, including interest accrued and interest shortfalls and funding advances such as taxes and home insurance premiums. Advances are typically remitted by the Company to the sub-servicers on a daily basis. Although the Company has outsourced its servicing function, as the issuer the Company has responsibility for all aspects of servicing of the HECM loans and related HMBS beneficial interests under the terms of the servicing contracts, state laws and regulations.

Contractual sub-servicing fees related to sub-servicer arrangements are generally based on a fixed dollar amount per loan and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Unfunded Commitments

The Company is required to fund further borrower advances (where the borrower has not fully drawn down the HECM or fix & flip loan proceeds available to them), and to additionally fund the payment of the borrower’s obligation to pay the FHA their monthly insurance premium.

The outstanding unfunded commitments available to borrowers related to HECM loans were approximately $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2021. The outstanding unfunded commitments available to borrowers related to fix & flip loans were approximately $13.8 million as of March 31, 2021. This additional borrowing capacity is primarily in the form of undrawn lines of credit.

The Company also has commitments to purchase and sell loans totaling $21.6 million and $111.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2021.

Mandatory Repurchase Obligation

The Company is required to repurchase reverse loans out of the GNMA securitization pools once the outstanding principal balance of the related HECM is equal to or greater than 98% of the MCA. Performing repurchased loans are conveyed to HUD and nonperforming repurchased loans are generally liquidated in accordance with program requirements. Loans are considered nonperforming upon events such as, but not limited to, the death of the mortgagor, the mortgagor no longer occupying the property as their principal residence, or the property taxes or insurance not being paid.

As an issuer of HMBS, the Company also has the option to repurchase reverse loans out of the GNMA securitization pools without GNMA prior approval in certain instances. These situations include the borrower requesting an additional advance that causes the outstanding principal balance to be equal or greater than 98% of the MCA; the borrower’s loan becoming due and payable under certain circumstances; the borrower not occupying the home for greater than twelve consecutive months for physical or mental illness and the home is not the residence of another borrower; or the borrower failing to perform in accordance with the terms of the loan.

For each HECM loan that the Company securitizes into Agency HMBS, the Company is required to covenant and warrant to GNMA, among other things, that the HECM loans related to each participation included in the Agency HMBS are eligible under the requirements of the National Housing Act and the GNMA Mortgage-backed Securities Guide, and that the Company will take all actions necessary to ensure the HECM loan’s continued eligibility. The GNMA HMBS program requires that the Company removes the participation related to any HECM loan that does not meet the requirements of the GNMA Mortgage-backed Securities Guide. In addition to securitizing HECM loans into Agency HMBS, the Company may sell HECM loans to third parties and the agreements with such third parties include standard representations and warranties related to such loans, which if breached, may require the Company

51

Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

to repurchase the HECM loan and/or indemnify the purchaser for losses related to such HECM loans. In the case where the Company repurchases the loan, the Company bears any subsequent credit loss on the loan. To the extent that the Company is required to remove a loan from an Agency HMBS, purchase a loan from a third party or indemnify a third party, the potential losses suffered by the Company may be reduced by any recourse the Company has to the originating broker and/or correspondent lender, if applicable, to the extent such entity breached similar or other representations and warranties. Under most circumstances, the Company has the right to require the originating broker/correspondent to repurchase the related loan from the Company and/or indemnify the Company for losses incurred. The Company seeks to manage the risk of repurchase and associated credit exposure through the Company’s underwriting and quality assurance practices.

IRLCs

The Company enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rates to the borrower. The Company also enters into LPCs with prospective sellers. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value. See Note 12 - Derivative and Risk Management Activities for more information.

Leases

See Note 21 - Leases for a listing of the Company’s current lease obligations under ASC 842 and Note 22 -Litigation for information regarding current litigation matters.

24. Long-Term Incentive Plan

On January 1, 2015, the Company established a long-term incentive plan (the “Plan”) to compensate key employees. Any distributions are based on distributions received by equity holders of the Company in excess of the contributed equity capital, plus a designated return on contributed equity capital (the “Hurdle”).

The phantom units are accounted for as a profit-sharing arrangement under ASC Topic 710, Compensation –General (“ASC 710”) as they do not represent a substantive form of equity and are not indexed to the price of UFG common units. A total of 1,250 Phantom Units were approved under the Plan, with 1,077 units issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

In connection with the closing of the Proposed Business Combination further described in Note 32 - Subsequent Events, which occurred on April 1, 2021, the holders of Phantom Units will receive a one-time lump sum cash payment of $24.0 million as it relates to the anticipated achievement of the Hurdle being met under the original terms of the Plan. The balance of the Company’s obligation under the Plan will be replaced by the issuance of replacement restricted stock units as governed by the Amended and Restated Management Long-Term Incentive Plan. See Note 32 – Subsequent Events.

The cash payment of $24.0 million relates to prior services provided solely for the benefit of the Company and not for ongoing services to be provided in the future that would benefit the post-combination entity. Given that the payment was triggered by the distributions made in connection with the successful closing of the Business Combination, the payment of $24.0 million is considered to have been incurred “on the line”.

25. Changes in Contingently Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company has determined that the Class B interests of FACo Holdings issued to Buy to Rent Platform Holdings, L.P. (“B2R”) meet the definition of CRNCI. Under the FACo Holdings Agreement, the Class B Units may be redeemed upon sale of FACo by FACo Holdings, sale of FAH, or sale of UFG Holdings LLC, which would require FAH to purchase the outstanding Class B Units. The Company has determined that the legal provisions in the FACo Holdings Agreement in which there is a noncontrolling interest represent a substantive profit-sharing arrangement, where the allocation to the members differs from the stated ownership percentages. The Company utilizes the hypothetical liquidation at book value, or HLBV, method for the allocation of profits and losses each period. Under the HLBV method, the amounts of income and loss attributed to the noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income reflects changes in the amounts each member would hypothetically receive at each Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition date under the liquidation provisions of the FACo Holdings Agreement, assuming the net assets of the FACo Holdings were liquidated at their respective recorded amounts. Allocations of profits and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and

52

Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Comprehensive Income is determined based on the hypothetical amounts that would be distributed to members after taking into account any capital transactions between FACo Holdings and its members as follows:

Distributions up to Hurdle Amount of $202.0 million (subject to certain adjustments defined in the FACo<br>Holdings Agreement) - 100% to Class B Members;
Distributions of the next $150.0 million - 95% to Class A Members and 5% to Class B Members, and;<br>
--- ---
Thereafter - 75% to Class A Members and 25% to Class B Members.
--- ---

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination disclosed in Note 1, FoA will cause Finance of America Holdings LLC to exercise its right under the FACo Holdings Agreement to purchase all of the outstanding Class B Units held by B2R for a redemption price of $203.2 million in satisfaction of the applicable Hurdle Amount under the FACo Holdings Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the CRNCI has been accreted to the agreed upon redemption price. See Note 32 - Subsequent Events within the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements for the implications of the Business Combination on CRNCI.

The changes in CRNCI are as follows (in thousands):

Mortgage Originations

The Mortgage Originations segment originates mortgage loans through FAM. This segment generates revenue through fee-based mortgage loan origination services and the origination and sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. The Mortgage Originations segment includes three channels: distributed retail lending, direct-to-consumer lending, and third-party-originator lending.

ReverseOriginations

The Reverse Originations segment originates or acquires reverse mortgage loans through FAR. This segment originates HECMs which are insured by the FHA, and proprietary jumbo reverse mortgages. The segment originates reverse mortgage loans through the following channels: retail and third-party-originator. Reverse mortgage lending activities primarily consist of the origination and securitization of mortgage loans to GNMA and other private investors.

Commercial Originations

The Commercial Originations segment originates or acquires commercial mortgage loans through FACo. The segment provides business purpose lending solutions for residential real estate investors in two principal ways: short-term loans to provide rehab and construction of investment properties meant to be sold upon completion, and investor rental loans collateralized by either a single asset or portfolio of properties. The segment originates commercial mortgage loans through the following channels: retail and third-party-originator. Commercial mortgage lending activities primarily consist of the origination and securitization of commercial mortgages to private investors.

Portfolio Management

The Portfolio Management segment provides product development, loan securitization, loan sales, risk management, asset management and servicing oversight services to the enterprise and third-party funds.

Lender Services

The Lender Services segment provides ancillary business services, title agency and title insurance services, MSR valuation and trade brokerage, and appraisal management services to customers in the residential mortgage, student lending, and commercial lending industries. The segment also operates a foreign branch in the Philippines for fulfillment transactional and administrative support.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other consists of the Business Excellence Office (“BXO”) and other corporate services groups The Company’s segments are based upon the Company’s organizational structure which focuses primarily on the services offered. Corporate functional expenses are allocated to individual segments based on actual cost of services performed based on a direct resource utilization, estimate of percentage use for shared services or headcount percentage for certain functions. Non-allocated corporate expenses include administrative costs of executive management and other corporate functions that are not directly attributable to the Company’s operating segments. Revenues generated on inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar services provided to external parties. To reconcile the Company’s consolidated results, certain inter-segment revenues and expenses are eliminated in the “Eliminations” column in the following tables.

28. Liquidity and Capital Requirements
--- ---

FAM

In addition to the covenant requirements of FAM mentioned in Note 18 - Other Financing Lines of Credit, FAM is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by HUD as a result of their mortgage origination and servicing activities. HUD governs non-supervised, direct endorsement mortgagees, and GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC, which sponsor programs that govern a significant portion of FAM’s mortgage loans sold and servicing activities. Additionally, FAM is required to maintain minimum net worth requirements for many of the states in which it sells and services loans. Each state has its own minimum net worth requirement; however, none of the state requirements are material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary remedial actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could: (i) remove FAM’s ability to sell and service loans to or on behalf of the Agencies; and (ii) have a direct material effect on FAM’s financial statements, results of operations and cash flows.

55

Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

In accordance with the regulatory capital guidelines, FAM must meet specific quantitative measures of cash, assets, liabilities, profitability and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Further, changes in regulatory and accounting standards, as well as the impact of future events on FAM’s results, may significantly affect the FAM’s net worth adequacy.

Among FAM’s various capital requirements related to its outstanding mortgage origination and servicing agreements, the most restrictive of these requires FAM to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth balance of $163.2 million as of March 31, 2021. FAM’s adjusted net worth was $402.1 million as of March 31, 2021. The Company was therefore in compliance with all net worth requirements.

In addition, FAM is required to maintain both fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance coverage at tiered levels based on the aggregate UPB of the loans serviced by FAM throughout the year. FAM is required to conduct compliance testing at least quarterly to ensure compliance with the foregoing requirements. As of March 31, 2021, FAM was in compliance with applicable requirements.

FAR

As an issuer of HMBS, FAR is required by GNMA to maintain minimum net worth, liquidity and capitalization levels as well as minimum insurance levels.

The net worth required is $5.0 million plus 1% of FAR’s commitment authority from GNMA. The liquidity requirement is for 20% of FAR’s required net worth be in the form of cash or cash equivalent assets. FAR is required to maintain a ratio of 6% of net worth to total assets.

In addition, FAR is required to maintain both fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance coverage at tiered levels based on the aggregate UPB of the loans serviced by FAR throughout the year. FAR is required to conduct compliance testing at least quarterly to ensure compliance with the foregoing requirements. As of March 31, 2021, FAR was in compliance with applicable requirements.

At March 31, 2021, FAR was in compliance with the minimum net worth, liquidity and insurance requirements of GNMA and had received a permanent waiver for its capital requirement. The minimum tangible net worth required of FAR by GNMA at March 31, 2021 was $98.3 million. FAR’s actual net worth calculated based on GNMA guidance at March 31, 2021 was $393.1 million.

Incenter

Incenter Securities Group LLC (“ISG”), one of the operating subsidiaries of Incenter, operates in a highly regulated environment and is subject to federal and state laws, SEC rules and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) rules and guidance. Applicable laws and regulations, among other things, restrict permissible activities and require compliance with a wide range of financial and customer-related protections. The consequences of noncompliance can include substantial monetary and nonmonetary sanctions. In addition, ISG is subject to comprehensive examination by its regulators. These regulators have broad discretion to impose restrictions and limitations on the operations of the Company and to impose sanctions for noncompliance. ISG is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1) (“the Rule”), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. ISG computes net capital under the alternative method. Under this method, the required minimum net capital is equal to $0.3 million. At March 31, 2021, ISG had met the minimum net capital requirement amounts.

Additionally, ISG claims the exemption provision of SEC Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii). ISG does not hold customer funds or safekeep customer securities. The Company introduces and clears its customers’ transactions through a third-party on a fully-disclosed basis.

Agents National Title Insurance Company, an operating subsidiary of Incenter, has additional capital requirements. The State of Missouri and State of Alabama require domestic title insurance underwriters maintain minimum capital and surplus of $1.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Failure to comply with these provision may result in various actions up to and including surrender of the certificate of authority. Additionally, in October 2019, Agents entered into a capital maintenance agreement in conjunction with the approval for the certificate of authority for California. This agreement requires Agents to maintain a minimum of $8.0 million in policyholder surplus. If Agents falls below this requirement in any given quarter, Incenter must contribute cash, cash equivalents securities or other instruments to bring Agents to compliance. The Company’s insurance company subsidiaries met the existing minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements as of March 31, 2021.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company is also required to maintain bonds, certificates of deposit and interest bearing accounts in accordance with applicable state regulatory requirements. The total requirement was $3.8 million across all states as of March 31, 2021. The Company was in compliance with these requirements as of March 31, 2021.

29. Concentrations of Risk

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the ability of management to adequately develop its service lines, acquire adequate customer and revenue bases, and overall market demand for its services. In addition, the Company engages in various trading and brokerage activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents, derivatives, loans held for sale, and loans held for investment.

The Company invests its excess cash balances that may exceed federal insured limits with financial institutions evaluated as being creditworthy, primarily in money market accounts which are exposed to minimal interest rate and credit risk. The balances of these accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, subject to certain limitations.

Credit risk is reduced by the Company’s underwriting standards, monitoring pledged collateral and other in-house monitoring procedures performed by management. The Company’s credit exposure for amounts due from investors and derivative related receivables is minimized since its policy is to sell mortgages only to highly reputable and financially sound financial institutions.

Mortgage loans are sold or financed through one of the following methods: (i) sales or financing securitizations to or pursuant to programs sponsored by FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA, or (ii) sales or financing securitizations issued to private investors. The Company sold $7,696.6 million and $3,576.3 million in mortgage loans to FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company sold to or securitized with private investors $1,724.3 million and $1,500.8 million in mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the sales or financing securitizations issued to private investors consisted of 33.1% nonperforming repurchased loans and 66.9% other. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the sales or financing securitizations issued to private investors consisted of 13.3% non-agency reverse mortgage loans, 24.8% nonperforming repurchased loans, 11.4% third-party financial institutions, and 50.5% other.

Through FoA’s parent, the Company is owned by Libman Family Holdings, LLC, certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone and other co-investors. In the ordinary course of conducting business, a portion of these mortgage loans sold or financed relate to certain commercial transactions that the Company enters into with a counterparty that is a non-affiliated company separately owned by certain other investment funds affiliated with Blackstone. The nature of its business interactions with this counterparty may allow the Company to negotiate preferential terms of commercial transactions that may not be available for other parties on an arm’s-length basis. These commercial transactions include the transfer of certain residential mortgage loans, in which the Company may receive an ongoing service fee. The Company sold $84.6 million and $98.7 million in mortgage loans to non-affiliated Blackstone portfolio companies for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company is also contracted by certain non-affiliated Blackstone portfolio companies to provide sub-advisor services in areas such as asset management and administrative oversight, in which the Company receives an advisory fee. The Company has recognized gains on the sale of mortgages related to transactions with non-affiliated Blackstone portfolio companies of $4.0 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In May 2020, the Company entered into an uncommitted Master Repurchase Agreement with a non-affiliated company, separately owned by other investment funds affiliated with Blackstone, with no stated maturity with a financial institution, under which the Company may enter into transactions, for an aggregate amount of $18.6 million, in which the Company agrees to transfer to the non-affiliated company certain mortgage-backed securities against the transfer of funds by the non-affiliated company, with a simultaneous agreement by the non-affiliated company to transfer such mortgage-backed securities to the Company at a certain date, or on demand, against the transfer of funds by the Company. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

In July 2017, the Company entered into a $45.0 million mezzanine financing agreement with a non-affiliated company, separately owned by other investment funds affiliated with Blackstone, secured by a junior lien in mortgage assets pledged to certain senior secured warehouse facilities. This facility was structured as a loan and security agreement. The funds advanced are generally repaid using collections from the underlying assets to the extent remaining after the payment of any senior debt or the proceeds from the sale or securitization of the underlying assets or distribution from underlying securities, although prior payment may be required based on, among other things, certain breaches of representations and warranties or other events of default. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million and $21.5 million, respectively.

ResidentialMortgages

The mortgaged properties securing the residential loans that we service are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. Certain states may experience future weakened economic conditions or greater rates of decline in real estate values than the United States in general. In addition, certain states may change their licensing or other regulatory requirement to make servicing loans in these states cost-prohibitive.

The table below provides the percentage of residential mortgage loans serviced by the location in which the home securing the loan is located and is based on the outstanding UPB. “Other” consists of loans in states in which concentration individually represents less than 5% of total remaining UPB.

California **** 36 % 37 %
Oregon **** 8 **** 7
Washington **** 8 **** 8
Arizona **** 6 **** 6
New Jersey **** 5 **** 5
Other **** 37 **** 37

Reverse Mortgages

FAR originates, buys and sells HECMs, commonly referred to as reverse mortgages, and securitizes and sells the HECMs as HMBS. FAR is subject to approval of, and is heavily regulated by, federal and state regulatory agencies as a mortgage lender, GNMA issuer, broker and servicer.

The secondary market for the FHA insured HECM loans is not assured; to the extent the program requires Congressional appropriations in future years, which are not forthcoming, the program could be jeopardized; and/or, consumer demand could be reduced if FHA actions result in a reduction of initial principal limit available to borrowers.

FAR depends on its ability to securitize reverse mortgages, subsequent draws, mortgage insurance premiums and servicing fees, and would be adversely affected if the ability to access the secondary market were to be limited.

Concentrations of credit risk associated with reverse mortgage loans are limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The table below provides the percentage of reverse loans in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition by the location in which the home securing the loan is located and is based on their remaining UPBs. “Other” consists of loans in states in which concentration individually represents less than 5% of total remaining UPB.

A significant portion of the Company’s proprietary Jumbo products are originated within the state of California. The Company’s non-agency reverse mortgage production is concentrated by location is presented in the following table. The Company’s total origination volume in any other states did not exceed 5% of the total origination volume, and were included in the “Other” balance.

Loans previously repurchased out of a HMBS pool (“HECM Buyouts”) that were subsequently securitized also contain concentrations of credit risk as they are limited due to the dispersion across many geographic areas. The table below provides the percentage of securitized nonperforming HECM buyouts in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition by the location in which the home securing the loan is located and is based on their remaining UPBs. “Other” consists of loans in states in which concentration individually represents less than 5% of total remaining UPB.

Puerto Rico’s economy has been in a serious recession since the second quarter of 2006, and its economic downturn has been generally much worse than that of the United States. Further, Hurricane Maria in 2017 has further stressed the economy and infrastructure in Puerto Rico, resulting in extensive loss of water supplies and electricity.

Regulatory agencies require all properties in affected areas to be inspected for “acceptable” condition prior to any transaction occurring with or on behalf of the GSEs or HUD (including foreclosure sale, property conveyance, sale/ funding/transfers of originated loans to third parties, etc.). This required inspection may cause delays in foreclosures and settlement of claims. Additionally, in certain circumstances when there are uninsured losses, the Company may be responsible for repairs to the properties if not done by the homeowner.

In its determination of fair value amounts for loans that are in disaster impacted areas, the Company has provided for increased expectations of loss severities due to delays in processing claims and uninsured losses. These estimates are based on management’s best estimates of anticipated losses. Actual results may differ from the estimates due to external factors.

Commercial Mortgages

The economies of states where mortgage properties are concentrated may be adversely affected to a greater degree than the economies of other areas of the country. In recent years, certain regions of the United States have experienced significant downturns in the market value of real estate. The table below provides the percentage of loans on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition by the location in which the home securing the loan is located and is based on their remaining UPBs. “Other” consists of loans in states in which concentration individually represents less than 5% of total remaining UPB.

Incenter

The Company had two major referral partners accounting for approximately 21% and 29% of the Company’s title and closing revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Ratings have always been an important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. Ratings reflect the opinion of a rating agency with regard to an insurance company’s or insurance holding company’s financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet its obligations to policyholders and are not evaluations directed to investors. The Company’s insurance subsidiary is rated by Demotech and as of March 31, 2021 the rating assigned was A (Exceptional). The Company is subject to continued periodic review by the rating agency and the continued retention of the rating cannot be assured. If the rating is reduced from the current level or the ratings of the Company’s insurance title underwriter are downgraded, the results of operations could be adversely affected.

30. Related Party Transactions

The Company transacts with various related parties as a part of normal day-to-day operations. Outstanding receivables from related parties were $1.5 million and $2.6 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Promissory Notes

In June 2019, the Company executed two Revolving Working Capital Promissory Note Agreements (the “2019 Promissory Notes”) with BTO Urban Holdings and Libman Family Holdings, LLC, which are deemed affiliates of the Company. The 2019 Promissory Notes accrued interest monthly at a rate of 10.0% per annum and matured and were paid in full in June 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid interest of $0.4 million related to the outstanding balances during the period on the 2019 Promissory Notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company paid no interest related to the 2019 Promissory Notes.

Agricultural Loans

In 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement with FarmOp Capital Holdings, LLC (“FarmOps”) in which the Company acquired an equity investment in FarmOps. Subsequent to this agreement, the Company agreed to purchase originated agricultural loans from FarmOps. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company purchased $83.0 million and $64.7 million of agricultural loans and had a total funded draw amounts of $82.1 million and $55.6 million, respectively.

Cloudvirga

In 2017 and 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company purchased preferred and common stock investments in Cloudvirga, Inc. (“Cloudvirga”). Subsequent to its investment, the Company entered into a software development arrangement in which Cloudvirga agreed to develop software in addition to providing certain technology services for the Company. As of March 31, 2021, $1.7 million was capitalized related to the development of the software and will be amortized over a 12 month period from the date placed in service. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, $0.6 million in professional fees were paid to Cloudvirga in exchange for the technology services provided.

In May 2021, the Company was notified of the merger of Cloudvirga with an unaffiliated third party, effectively liquidating all of the preferred equity held by certain subsidiaries of the Company. As such, the fair value assumptions used to determine the holding value of such preferred equity were updated by the Company and resulted in an impairment of the equity investment of $9.3 million. See Note 32 - Subsequent Events for additional detail on the merger of Cloudvirga.

NonrecourseMSR Financing Liability, at Fair Value

In 2020, the Company entered into a nonrevolving facility commitment with various investors of UFG, the parent company of FoA, to sell beneficial interests in the servicing fees generated from its originated or acquired MSRs. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to sell to these parties the right to receive all servicing fees in excess of the cost to service and ancillary fees related to the identified MSRs in exchange for an upfront payment equal to the purchase price or fair value of the identified MSRs. These transactions are accounted for as financings under ASC 470, Debt.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The parent company financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto. The parent company follows the same accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. For purposes of this condensed financial information, the Company’s wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries are recorded based upon its proportionate share of the subsidiaries net assets (similar to presenting them on the equity method).

Since restricted net assets of FoA and its subsidiaries exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, the accompanying condensed parent company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04 Schedule 1 of Regulation S-X.

Dividends from Subsidiaries

There were $75.0 million cash dividends paid to FoA from the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There were no cash dividends paid to FoA from the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

32. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements of March 31, 2021 through May 17, 2021, the date these Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. No events or transactions were identified that would have an impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company as of March 31, 2021 as reported herein. However, management of the Company believes disclosure of the following events is appropriate.

Business Combination

On April 1, 2021, the Company was acquired in the Business Combination pursuant to the Transaction Agreement described in Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business. The Business Combination will be accounted for using the acquisition method with New Pubco as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, New Pubco’s assets and liabilities will be recorded at carrying value and the assets and liabilities associated with the Company will be recorded at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, will be recognized as goodwill. For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. The determination of whether control has been obtained begins with the evaluation of whether control should be evaluated based on the variable interest or voting interest model pursuant to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). If the acquiree is a variable interest entity, the primary beneficiary would be the accounting acquirer. The Company meets the definition of a variable interest entity and New Pubco was determined to be the primary beneficiary. Therefore, New Pubco will be the accounting acquirer.

In connection with the Business Combination, the New Pubco also entered into Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”) that provide for the payment by the New Pubco to certain owners of FoA prior to the Business Combination of 85% of the cash tax benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize based on certain attributes as defined in the TRAs.

In conjunction with the Business Combination, UFG adopted the Amended and Restated UFG Holdings LLC Management Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “A&R MLTIP”), effective as of the date the Business Combination was executed, contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing. Under the terms of the A&R MLTIP, it is expected that participants (including each of our named executive officers) will be entitled to receive (i) a cash payment promptly following the Closing (see Note 24), (ii) a grant of restricted stock units under the Incentive Plan and (iii) the right to receive additional shares of Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of specified earnout conditions. The Replacement RSUs will be effectively vested on the Closing Date. The Replacement RSUs will be 25% vested on the RSU Closing Date and the remaining 75% will vest in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the Closing Date, subject to continued employment. The Replacement RSUs are not subject to any other conditions which affect their vesting. The first 25% of Replacement RSUs will not be delivered to the participants until 180 days after Closing.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, FoA caused Finance of America Holdings LLC to exercise its right under the FACo Holdings Agreement to purchase all of the outstanding Class B Units held by B2R for a redemption price of $203.2 million in satisfaction of the applicable Hurdle Amount under the FACo Holdings Agreement.

Parkside Acquisition

On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets (primarily workforce) of Parkside Lending, LLC (“Parkside”) a wholesale, retail and correspondent mortgage lender. The transaction closed on May 4, 2021. The Company purchased certain key contracts and real property leases, and assumed the post-closing liabilities thereunder, as well as proprietary materials and intellectual property, for a purchase price equal to the sum of (a) $20.0 million paid at closing, (b) an additional contingent premium of $5.0 million payable six months after the closing date only to the extent certain conditions are met, and (c) additional annual earn out amounts based upon certain specified profitability metrics as of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date and payable in six (6) month increments during such three (3) year period. The Company also extended offers to certain identified employees. Additionally, the Company agreed to provide limited interim support obligations and to act as the purchaser of last resort for Parkside’s mortgage loan pipeline to the extent such pipeline loans are not sold by Parkside to third party purchasers within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the closing date.

Additional disclosures required by ASC 805, Business Combinations, with respect to the acquisition have been omitted because the information needed for the disclosures is not currently available due to the close proximity of closing of this transaction with the date these consolidated financial statements are being issued.

Securitizations

Investor Purpose AssetSecuritization

In April 2021, the Company securitized approximately $336.5 million of its investor purpose residential mortgage assets, through the issuance of approximately $268.5 million of mortgage backed notes, which accrue interest at an annual rate of 2.12% - 5.44% on a weighted average based on the principal balance of the notes and have a scheduled final maturity dates occurring between November 2024 and May 2025, based on the applicable class of notes. The principal and interest on the outstanding notes will be paid using the cash flows from the related investor purpose residential mortgage assets, which serve as collateral for the debt. The securitization is callable by the Company with the optional redemption date being any date after the 24th monthly payment date (occurring in May 2023). This securitization will be accounted for as a secured financing in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Certain of the investor purposes residential mortgage assets included in the April 2021 securitization were from three of the Company’s prior securitizations. The Company exercised its optional redemption right relating to such prior securitizations in April 2021. In connection with its optional redemptions in April 2021, the Company paid off notes secured by investor purpose residential mortgage assets with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $236.8 million. The notes were paid off at the related redemption price, which was par.

Reverse LoanSecuritization

In April 2021, the Company securitized approximately $435.6 million of its reverse mortgage loans, through the issuance of approximately $562.5 million of mortgage backed notes, which accrue interest at an annual rate of 1.6% on a weighted average based on the principal balance of the notes and have a scheduled final maturity date occurring in April 2051. The principal and interest on the outstanding notes will be paid using the cash flows from the related reverse mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The securitization is callable by the Company with the optional redemption date being any date beginning with the payment date occurring in April 2024. This securitization will be accounted for as a secured financing in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Certain of the reverse mortgage loans included in the April 2021 securitization were from the Company’s prior securitization. The optional redemption for the prior securitization was exercised by the Company in April 2021. In connection with its optional redemption in April 2021, the Company paid off notes secured by reverse mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $251.7 million. The notes were paid off at the related redemption price, which was par plus 5%.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read together withour consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in theforward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Except where the context otherwise requires, the terms “Finance of America Companies,” “Finance of America,” “FOA Equity Capital,” “FoA,” “we,”“us,” or “our” refer to the business of Finance of America Equity Capital LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Finance of America is a vertically integrated, diversified lending platform that connects borrowers with investors. We offer a diverse set of high quality consumer loan products and distribute financial risk to investors for an up-front cash profit and typically some future performance-based participation. We believe we have a differentiated, less volatile strategy than mono-line mortgage lenders who focus on originating interest rate sensitive traditional mortgages and retain significant portfolios of mortgage servicing rights with large potential future advancing obligations. In addition to our profitable lending operations, we provide a variety of services to lenders through our Lender Services segment, which augments our lending profits with an attractive fee-oriented revenue stream. Our differentiated strategy is built upon a few key fundamental factors:

We operate in a diverse set of lending markets that benefit from strong, secular tailwinds and are each<br>influenced by different demand drivers, which we believe results in stable and growing earnings with lower volatility and lower mortgage market correlation than a traditional mortgage company.
We seamlessly connect borrowers with investors. Our consumer-facing business leaders interact directly with the<br>investor-facing professionals in our Portfolio Management segment, facilitating the development of attractive lending solutions for our customers with the confidence that the loans we generate can be efficiently and profitably sold to a deep pool of<br>investors. While we often retain a future performance-based participation in the underlying cash flows of our loan products, we seek to programmatically and profitably monetize most of our loan products through a variety of investor channels, which<br>minimizes capital at risk.
--- ---
We distribute our products through multiple channels, and utilize flexible technology platforms and a distributed<br>workforce in order to scale our businesses and manage costs efficiently. Our businesses are supported by a centralized business excellence office (“BXO”), providing all corporate support, including IT, Human Resources, Legal, Risk and<br>Compliance. This platform enables us to be product agnostic, with the ability to focus our resources as the opportunity set evolves while not being overly reliant on any individual product. As borrower demands for lending products change, we are<br>able to change with them and continue to offer desirable lending solutions.
--- ---

Today, we are principally focused on (1) residential mortgage loan products throughout the U.S., offering traditional mortgage loans, reverse mortgage loans, and (2) business purpose loans to real estate investors. We have built a distribution network that allows our customers to interact with us through their preferred method: in person, via a broker or digitally. Our product offering diversity makes us resilient in varying rate and origination environments, and differentiates us from traditional mortgage lenders. Our Lender Services segment supports a range of financial institutions, including our lending companies, with services such as title insurance and settlement services, appraisal management, valuation and brokerage services, fulfillment services, and technology platforms for student loans, consumer loans and home sharing services. In addition to creating recurring third-party revenue streams, these service business lines allow us to better serve our lending customers and maximize our revenue per lending transaction. Furthermore, our Portfolio Management segment provides structuring and product development expertise, allowing innovation and improved visibility of execution for our originations, as well as a broker/dealer and institutional asset management capabilities. These capabilities allowed us to complete profitable sales of our loan products via securitization, including 10 securitizations during an otherwise volatile 2020, demonstrating the high quality and liquidity of the loan products we originate, the deep relationships we have with our investors and the resilience of our business model in any market environment.

The Business Combination

On October 12, 2020, FOA and Replay Acquisition Corp. (“Replay Acquisition”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, agreed to a business combination that will result in Finance of America becoming a publicly listed company. FoA, Replay Acquisition, Finance of America Companies Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Replay (“New Pubco”); RPLY Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (“Replay Merger Sub”); RPLY BLKR Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco (“Blocker Merger Sub”); Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Fund (Urban Feeder) – NQ L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Blocker”); Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Associates – NQ L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Blocker GP”); BTO Urban Holdings L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“BTO Urban”), Blackstone Family Tactical Opportunities Investment Partnership – NQ – ESC L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ESC”), Libman Family Holdings LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“Family Holdings”), The Mortgage Opportunity Group LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“TMO”), L and TF, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“L&TF”), UFG Management Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Management Holdings”), and Joe Cayre (each of BTO Urban, ESC, Family Holdings, TMO, L&TF, Management Holdings and Joe Cayre, a “Seller” and, collectively, the “Sellers” or the “Continuing Unitholders”); and BTO Urban and Family Holdings, solely in their joint capacity as the representative of the Sellers pursuant to Section 12.18 of the Transaction Agreement (as defined below) (the “Seller Representative”), entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) pursuant to which Replay agreed to combine with FoA in a series of transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”) that will result in New Pubco becoming a publicly-traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) as of April 1, 2021, with trading beginning on April 5, 2021 under the ticker symbol ‘FOA’ ‘and controlling FoA in an “UP-C” structure.

Replay Acquisition’s central index key number is 0001763731.

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus.

Our Segments

We manage our Company in five reportable segments: Portfolio Management, Mortgage Originations, Reverse Originations, Commercial Originations, and Lender Services. A description of the business conducted by each of these segments is provided below:

Portfolio Management

Our Portfolio Management segment provides product development, loan securitization, loan sales, risk management, asset management and servicing oversight services to the enterprise and third-party funds. The team is primarily based in St. Paul, MN and New York, NY.

As part of the vertical integration of our business, our Portfolio Management team acts as the connector between borrowers and investors. The direct connections to investors complete the lending lifecycle in a way that allows us to innovate and manage risk through better price and product discovery. Given our scale, we are able to “do our own deals” and where appropriate, retain assets on balance sheet for attractive return opportunities. These retained investments are a source of growing and recurring earnings.

The retained asset portfolio generally consists of two classifications of assets: short-term investments and long-term investments. Short-term investments are primarily proprietary whole loans and securities that are held for sale and loans bought out from home equity conversion mortgages (“HECM”) securitizations prior to assignment to Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Long-term investments are primarily made up of mortgage servicing rights, securitized HECM loans, securitized proprietary whole loans (including retained securities and residual interests in securitization trusts), and whole loans not yet securitized.

The retained assets are initially recorded to the portfolio at a designated fair-value-based transfer price, if originated by any of the Company’s origination segments (“Net origination gains” recognized by the origination segments), or at the price purchased from external parties. Retained financial assets are subsequently recorded at their current fair value on an ongoing basis.

The Portfolio Management segment generates revenue and earnings in the form of gain on sale of loans, fair value gains, interest income, servicing income, fees for underwriting, advisory and valuation services and other ancillary fees.

2

Mortgage Originations

Our Mortgage Originations segment originates residential mortgage loans through our Finance of America Mortgage LLC (“FAM”) subsidiary. This segment generates revenue through fee-based mortgage loan origination services and the origination and sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. We generally sell all originated mortgage loans into the secondary market within 30 days of origination and elect whether to sell or retain the rights to service the underlying mortgage loans based on the economics in the market and Company portfolio investment strategies. Whether the Company elects to sell or retain the rights to service the underlying loans, the Mortgage Originations segment realizes the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights in gain on sale. Performance of the retained mortgage servicing rights after origination are accounted for within the Portfolio Management segment results.

The Mortgage Originations segment includes three channels:

Distributed Retail - Our distributed retail lending channel relies on mortgage advisors in retail branch<br>locations across the country to acquire, interact with, and serve customers.
Direct to Consumer - Our<br>direct-to-consumer lending channel relies on our call centers, website and mobile apps to interact with customers. Our primary focus is to assist our customers with a<br>refinance or home purchase by providing them with a needs-based approach to understanding their current mortgage options.
--- ---
TPO - Our third-party-originator (“TPO”) lending channel works with mortgage brokers to source loans<br>which are underwritten and funded by us in our name. Counterparty risk is mitigated through quality and compliance monitoring, and all brokers are subject to our eligibility requirements coupled with an annual recertification process.<br>
--- ---

Our mortgage lending activities primarily consist of the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans to the government sponsored entities (“GSEs”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae” or “FNMA”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac or (FHLMC”), and Ginnie Mae, as well as private investors. The Mortgage Originations segment generates revenue and earnings in the form of gain on sale of loans, fair value gains, interest income, servicing income, and origination fees earned on the successful origination of mortgage loans.

Reverse Originations

Our Reverse Originations segment originates or acquires reverse mortgage loans through our Finance of America Reverse LLC (“FAR”) subsidiary. This segment originates HECMs, and proprietary jumbo reverse mortgages, referred to as “non-agency reverse mortgages.”

We securitize HECMs into Home Equity Conversion Mortgage-Backed Securities (“HMBS”), which Ginnie Mae guarantees, and sell them in the secondary market while retaining the rights to service. Non-agency reverse mortgages, which compliment the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) HECM for higher value homes, may be sold as whole loans to investors or held for investment and pledged as collateral to securitized nonrecourse debt obligations. Non-agency reverse mortgage loans are not insured by the FHA.

We originate reverse mortgage loans through the following channels:

Retail - Our retail channel consists of a centralized retail platform, which includes a telephone based platform<br>with multiple loan officers in one location. Our retail network controls all of the loan origination process, including sourcing the borrower, processing the application, setting the interest rate, ordering appraisal and underwriting, processing,<br>closing and funding the loan.
TPO - Our TPO channel originates through third-party mortgage brokers and correspondent lenders. Our wholesale<br>channel reviews and underwrites the application submitted by our mortgage brokers and correspondent lenders and approves or denies the application and sets the interest rate.
--- ---

Our reverse mortgage lending activities primarily consist of the origination and securitization of mortgage loans to Ginnie Mae and other private investors. The Reverse Originations segment generates revenue and earnings in the form of fair value gains at the time of origination (“Net origination gains”) and origination fees earned on the successful origination of mortgage loans.

Commercial Originations

Our Commercial Originations segment originates or acquires commercial mortgage loans through our Finance of America Commercial LLC (“FACo”) subsidiary. The segment provides business purpose lending solutions for residential real estate investors in two principal ways: short-term loans to provide rehab and construction of

3

investment properties meant to be sold upon completion, and investor rental loans collateralized by either a single asset or portfolio of properties. The segment does not provide financing for consumer-purpose, owner occupied loans or non-residential purpose commercial lending.

We originate commercial mortgage loans through the following channels:

Retail - Our retail channel consists of sales team members located throughout the United States with<br>concentrations in Charlotte, NC, Chicago, IL, and Irvine, CA. Our retail network controls all of the loan origination process, including sourcing the borrower, processing the application, setting the interest rate, ordering appraisal and<br>underwriting, processing, closing and funding the loan.
TPO - Our TPO channel originates through third-party mortgage brokers and correspondent lenders. Our wholesale<br>channel reviews and underwrites the application submitted by our mortgage brokers and correspondent lenders and approves or denies the application and sets the interest rate.
--- ---

Our commercial mortgage lending activities primarily consist of the origination, sale or securitization of commercial mortgages to private investors. The Commercial Originations segment generates revenue and earnings in the form of fair value gains at the time of origination (“Net origination gains”) and origination fees earned on the successful origination of mortgage loans.

Lender Services

Our Lender Services segment provides ancillary business services, title agency and title insurance services, mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) valuation and trade brokerage, and appraisal management services to customers in the residential mortgage, student lending, and commercial lending industries. The segment also operates a foreign branch in the Philippines for fulfillment transactional and administrative support.

Our Lender Services business typically generates revenue and earnings in the form of fee-for-service revenue or commissions on successful MSR trades.

Business Trends and Conditions

There are a number of key factors and trends affecting our results of operations. A summary of key factors impacting our revenue include:

prevailing interest rates which impact loan origination volume, with declining interest rates leading to<br>increases in refinance volume, and an increasing interest rate environment leading to decreases in the refinance volume;
housing market trends which also impact loan origination volume, with a strong housing market leading to higher<br>loan origination volume, and a weak housing market leading to lower loan origination volume;
--- ---
demographic and housing stock trends which impact the addressable market size of mortgage, reverse and commercial<br>loan originations;
--- ---
increases in loan modifications, delinquency rates, delinquency status and prepayment speeds; and<br>
--- ---
broad economic factors such as the strength and stability of the overall economy, including the unemployment<br>level and real estate values which have been substantially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, further discussed below. The COVID-19 outbreak poses unique challenges to<br>our business and the effects of the pandemic could adversely impact our ability to originate and service mortgages, manage our portfolio of assets and provide lender services and could also adversely impact our counterparties, liquidity and<br>employees.
--- ---

Other factors that may affect our cost base include trends in salaries and benefits costs, sales commissions, technology, rent, legal, compliance and other general and administrative costs. Management continually monitors these costs through operating plans.

Impact of COVID-19

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

4

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted global financial markets and contributed to significant volatility in market liquidity and yields required by market investors in the type of financial instruments originated by the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries. In the U.S., significant fiscal stimulus measures, monetary policy actions and other relief measures have helped to moderate the negative economic impacts of COVID-19, and have supported the economic recovery which began in 2020 and continues into 2021. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted into law. In March 2021, the U.S. federal government passed a $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”), which together with the CARES Act and other fiscal stimulus measures put in place in 2020, provide for, among other things, funding to state and local governments, direct payments to households, support for small businesses, renter assistance and funding for transport, airlines, healthcare and education. Monetary policy decisions have included quantitative easing and the provision of liquidity to financial institutions and credit markets. In addition, housing measures, such as forbearance on mortgages and suspension of foreclosures and evictions, and various executive orders have helped to provide relief.

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report. The Company’s management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. Further, the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic on the residential mortgage and commercial lending industries. As of March 31, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the economic environment in which the Company conducts business, but did not had a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for three months ended March 31, 2021. See “—Results of Operations” in this MD&A.

The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to into 2021, including for example the implementation of the ARPA and the cessation of forbearance options and eviction moratoria. These continuing economic impacts, and the continuation of the pandemic itself, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, intangible assets and liquidity in fiscal year 2021.

For further discussion on the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic reference “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business of New Pubco—Risks Related to COVID-19” in our Super 8-K filed with the SEC on April 7, 2021.

Reorganization Transactions

New Pubco was incorporated in October 2020 and is a holding corporation, the principal asset of which is a controlling interest in FoA. The business, property and affairs of FoA are managed by a board of managers, appointed by New Pubco in its sole discretion. In periods subsequent to the April 1, 2021 closing of the Business Combination, New Pubco will consolidate FoA in its Consolidated Financial Statements and will report a non-controlling interest related to the FoA Units held by the the Continuing Unitholders in New Pubco’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we executed several reorganization transactions, as a result of which the limited liability company agreement of FoA was amended and restated to, among other things, reclassify its outstanding limited liability company units into a single new class of units that are referred to as “FoA Units.” New Pubco appointed in its sole discretion the members of the FoA board of managers. For a description of the reorganization transactions, see “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

New Pubco, FoA and the Continuing Unitholders will enter into into an exchange agreement under which they (or certain permitted transferees) have the right (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement) to exchange their FoA Units for shares of New Pubco Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.

The Continuing Unitholders hold all of the issued and outstanding shares of FoA’s Class B Common Stock. The shares of Class B Common Stock have no economic rights, but entitle each holder, without regard to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder, to a number of votes that is equal to the aggregate number of FoA Units held by such holder on all matters on which stockholders of New Pubco are entitled to vote generally. Holders of shares of FoA’s Class B Common Stock vote together with holders of FoA’s Class A Common Stock as a single class on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally, except as otherwise required by law.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations

As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factors that may impact the comparability of our results of operations in future operations.

Impact of the Business Combination

New Pubco is a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. FoA, was and is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as such, has generally not been subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Accordingly, other than for certain consolidated subsidiaries of FoA that are structured as corporations and unless otherwise specified, the historical results of operations and other financial information presented does not include any provision for U.S. federal income tax.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Pubco (together with certain corporate subsidiaries through which it owns its interest in FoA) will pay U.S. federal and state income taxes as a corporation on its share of our taxable income. The Business Combination may be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of FoA would be recorded at their fair values at the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. The application of business combination accounting requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

As a result of the application of business combination accounting, the historical Consolidated Financial Statements of FoA are not necessarily indicative of FoA’s future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. For example, increased tangible and intangible assets resulting from adjusting the basis of tangible and intangible assets to their fair value would result in increased depreciation and amortization expense in the periods following the consummation of the Business Combination, and in the future New Pubco may need to recognize impairment charges related to goodwill, identified intangible assets and fixed assets that are adjusted to fair value.”

6

Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, New Pubco will enter into Tax Receivable Agreements with the TRA Parties that provide for the payment by New Pubco to such owners of 85% of the benefits that New Pubco is deemed to realize as a result of (i) tax basis adjustments that will increase the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of New Pubco as a result of sales or exchanges of FoA Units in connection with or after the Business Combination or distributions with respect to the FoA Units prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) New Pubco’s utilization of certain tax attributes attributable to the Blocker or the Blocker Shareholders, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreements, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements.

Impact of Becoming a Public Company

Following the completion of the Business Combination, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. We expect that these costs will include additional personnel, legal, consulting, regulatory, insurance, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules adopted by the SEC and national securities exchanges, requires public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were previously inapplicable to us as a private company. These additional rules and regulations will increase our legal, regulatory and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

Our primary sources of revenue include gains on sale and other income from mortgage loans held for sale, net, net fair value gains on mortgage loans and related obligations, fee income and net interest income (expense).

Gain on sale and other income from mortgage loans held for sale, net

Net gain on sale and other income from mortgage loans held for sale include realized and unrealized gains and losses on loans held for sale, interest rate lock commitments, hedging derivatives, and retained mortgage servicing rights. The Company sells mortgage loans into the secondary market, including sales to the GSEs on a servicing-released basis, where the loans are sold to an investor with the associated MSRs transferred to the investor or to a separate third-party investor. In addition, the Company may opportunistically sell loans on a servicing-retained basis, where the loan is sold and retain the rights to service that loan are retained. Unrealized gains and losses include fair value gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value in the underlying mortgages, interest rate lock commitments, hedging derivatives, and purchases of and retained MSRs, from the time of origination to the ultimate sale of the loan or other settlement of those financial instruments.

Net fair value gains on mortgage loans and relatedobligations

The majority of our outstanding financial instruments are carried at fair value. The yield recognized on these financial instruments and any changes in estimated fair value are recorded as a component of net fair value gains on mortgage loans and related obligations. See Note 5 - Fair Value within our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of fair value measurements.

Fee Income

We earn various fees from our customers during the process of origination and servicing of loans, as well as providing services to third party customers. These fees include loan servicing and origination fees, title and closing service fees, title underwriting servicing fees, settlement fees, appraisal fees and broker fees. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligations have been satisfied, which is typically at the time of loan origination.

Net interest income (expense)

We earn interest income on mortgage, reverse and commercial loans held for sale. Interest expense incurred on warehouse lines of credit and non-funding debt is included in net interest income (expense). Interest income and interest expense also accrues to loans held for investment, including securitized loans subject to HMBS and other nonrecourse debt. Interest income and expense on loans held for investment and their related obligations are recorded to net fair value gains on mortgage loans and related obligations.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include salaries, benefits and related expenses, occupancy, equipment rentals and other office related expenses, and general and administrative expenses.

Salaries, benefits and related expenses

Salaries, benefits and related expenses includes commissions, bonuses, salaries, benefits, taxes and all payroll related expenses for our employees.

Occupancy, equipment rentals and other office related expenses

Occupancy, equipment rentals and other office related expenses includes rent expense on office space, equipment and other related occupancy costs.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily include loan origination fees, loan portfolio expenses, professional service fees, business development costs, communications and data processing costs, legal costs such as title and closing, depreciation and amortization and other expenses.

Income Taxes

FoA is currently treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, entity level taxes at FoA are not significant. Provision for income taxes consists of tax expense primarily related to certain of the consolidated subsidiaries of FoA that are structured as corporations and subject to U.S. federal income taxes as well as state taxes.

After consummation of the Business Combination, New Pubco (together with certain corporate subsidiaries through which it owns its interest in FoA) will be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and, in periods following the Business Combination, will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes with respect to its allocable share of any taxable income of FoA and will be taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes will be recorded for the anticipated tax consequences of our reported results of operations for federal income taxes. In addition to tax expenses, we will also incur expenses related to our operations, as well as payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements, which we expect to be significant. We intend to cause FoA to make distributions in an amount sufficient to allow New Pubco to pay its tax obligations and operating expenses, including distributions to fund any payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreements. See “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Tax Receivable Agreements.” However, our ability to make such distributions may be limited due to, among other things, restrictive covenants in our financing lines of credit and senior notes. New Pubco is a holding company and its only material asset in periods following the Business Combination is its direct and indirect interest in FoA. New Pubco is accordingly dependent upon distributions from FoA to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements and pay dividends.

Principally all of our outstanding financial instruments are carried at fair value. The yield recognized on these financial instruments and any changes in estimated fair value are recorded as a component of net fair value gains on mortgage loans and related obligations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. However, for certain of our outstanding financing lines of credit, we have not elected to account for these liabilities under the fair value option. Accordingly, interest expense is presented separately on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Accordingly, interest income on collateralized loans may be reflected in net fair value gains on mortgage loans and related obligations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, while the associated interest expense on the pledged loans will be included as a component of net interest expense. We evaluate net interest margin (“NIM”) for our outstanding investments through an evaluation of all components of interest income and interest expense.

Certain of our financial instruments, are valued utilizing a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment and repayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being prepayment and repayment speeds, credit loss frequencies and severity, and discount rate assumptions. Any changes in fair value on these financials instruments is recorded as a gain or loss in net fair value gains on mortgage loans and related obligations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus the three months ended March 31, 2020

Net income before taxes increased $167.5 million or 398.1% primarily as a result of higher gains on loans held for sale, fee income on originated mortgage loans, and fee income from our Lender Services segment, offset partially by higher expenses.

Gain on sale and other income from mortgage loans held for sale, net, increased $160.7 million or 122.9% as<br>a result of higher sales volume during the three months ended March 31, 2021 partially offset by decreased margins on sold volume. We sold $8,399.2 million in mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to<br>$4,018.6 million for the comparable 2020 period. Weighted average margins on sold loans were 2.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 3.4% for the comparable 2020 period. Gain on sale margins decrease primarily due to the<br>impact of significant increases in market interest rates between the time of loan origination and loan sale during the period and a reduction in overall market loan origination margins.
Net fair value gains on mortgage loans and related obligations increased by $63.3 million primarily as a<br>result of $70.5 million in fair value losses from assumption changes taken in the first quarter of 2020 driven largely by unfavorable shocks to fair value yields during the early months of the COVID-19<br>outbreak. This compares to $2.1 million of fair value losses from assumption changes taken in the first quarter of 2021. See Note 5 - Fair Value within the consolidated financial statements for additional information on assumptions impacting<br>the value of our loans held for investment.
--- ---
Fee income increased $82.6 million or 118.0% as a result of our higher loan origination volumes and growth<br>in fee income from our Lender Services segment.
--- ---
Net interest expense decreased $4.1 million or 15.7% in 2021 due primarily to a lower average cost of funds<br>on our financing lines of credit, offset by increases in interest income on mortgage loans held for sale and non-funding debt interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the<br>same period 2020.
--- ---
Total expenses increased $143.0 million or 62.1% due to higher salaries, benefits and related expenses<br>combined with increases in general and administrative expenses primarily as a result of our higher loan origination volumes during the 2021 period and overall enterprise growth.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Revenue generated on inter-segment services performed are valued based on estimated market value. Revenue and fees are directly allocated to their respective segments at the time services are performed. Expenses directly attributable to the operating segments are expensed as incurred. Other expenses are allocated to individual segments based on the estimated value of services performed, total revenue contributions, personnel headcount or the equity invested in each segment based on the type of expense allocated. Expenses for enterprise-level general overhead, such as executive administration, are not allocated to the business segments.

Our Portfolio Management segment generates its revenues primarily from the sale and securitization of residential mortgages into the secondary market, fair value gains and losses on loans and MSRs that we hold to maturity, and mortgage advisory fees earned on various investment and trading activities we provide our internal and external customers. The fair value gains and losses include the yield we recognize on the contractual interest income that is expected to be collected based on the stated interest rates of the loans and related liabilities, and any contractual service fees earned while servicing these assets.

Fair value gains and losses in our Portfolio Management segment includes fair value adjustments related to the following assets and liabilities:

Loans held for investment, subject to HMBS liabilities, at fair value

For the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 versus the three months ended March 31, 2020

Net income before taxes improved primarily as a result of a reduction in the negative FV adjustments realized in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the 2020 period. This was $68.4 million lower market and model assumption-driven losses in 2021. In the first quarter of 2020, Capital markets were affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, with investors requiring significantly increased cost of funds. Due to the higher cost of funds, a write down to the securitized assets in inventory was required, coupled with hedge losses realized during the same quarter of 2020. Capital markets demand and spreads have since returned to more normal levels, and we have adjusted the product guidelines and pricing to reflect the market requirements to produce desired yields. See Note 5

Total expenses **** 224,246 138,191
NET INCOME BEFORE TAXES $ 95,857 $ 10,113

Our Mortgage Originations segment generates its revenues primarily from the origination and sale of residential mortgages, including conforming mortgages, government mortgages insured by the FHA, VA and USDA, non-conforming products such as jumbo mortgages, non-qualified mortgages, and closed-end second mortgages into the secondary market. Revenue from our Mortgage Originations segment includes cash gains recognized on the sale of mortgages, net of any estimated repurchase obligations, realized hedge gains and losses, fair value adjustments on loans held for sale, and any fair value adjustments on our outstanding interest rate lock pipeline and derivatives utilized to mitigate interest rate exposure on our outstanding mortgage pipeline. We also earn origination fees on the successful origination of mortgage loans which are recorded at the time of origination of the associated loans.

16

We utilize forward loan sale commitments, TBAs, and other forward delivery securities to fix the forward sales price that we will realize in the secondary market and to mitigate the interest rate risk to loan prices that we may be exposed to from the date we enter into rate locks with our customers until the date the loan is sold. We realize hedge gains and losses based on the value of the change in price in the underlying securities. When the position is closed, these amounts are recorded as realized hedge gains and losses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus the three months ended March 31, 2020

Net income before taxes increased $85.7 million or 847.9% as a result of higher loan originations, and a general widening in margins related to GSE and government-guaranteed loan products.

Our Mortgage Originations segment had $8,405.3 million in net rate lock volume related to mortgage loans for<br>the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $6,216.3 million for the comparable 2020 period. Additionally, our margin on originated mortgage loans increased to 3.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 2.1% for<br>the comparable 2020 period.
Fee income increased $12.2 million or 59.5% as a result of higher origination volume during the three months<br>ended March 31, 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus the three months ended March 31, 2020

Total revenue increased $171.8 million or 115.8% as a result of higher mortgage origination volume and overall higher mortgage originations margin.

Gain on sale, net, increased $63.5 million or 46.2% as a result of higher sales volume during the three<br>months ended March 31, 2021 partially offset by decreased margins on sold volume. We sold $8,399.2 million in mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $4,018.6 million for the comparable 2020 period.<br>Weighted average margins on sold loans were 2.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 3.4% for the comparable 2020 period. Gain on sale margins decreased primarily due to the impact of significant increases in market interest<br>rates between the time of loan origination and loan sale during the period and a reduction in overall market loan origination margins.
Changes in fair value of loans held for sale decreased $63.8 million or 286.0% as a result of lower net<br>change in the end-of-period mark to market of our higher outstanding originated loan production not yet sold or securitized combined with lower margins on our unsold<br>loan pipeline. The unsold pipeline decreased from $2.0 billion with a weighted average margin of 4.2% at December 31, 2020 to $1.9 billion and 2.1% at March 31, 2021. Comparatively, the unsold pipeline increased from<br>$1.0 billion with a weighted average margin of 2.9% at January 1, 2020 to $1.2 billion and 4.3% at March 31, 2020.

Origination related fee income increased $12.2 million or 59.5% as a result of higher loan origination<br>volume during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The decreases to gain on sale and fair value gains on loans sold, loans held for sale and interest rate lock<br>pipeline driven by increases to market interest rates while those loans were in the pipeline during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were offset by realized and unrealized hedge gains. Conversely, increases to gain on sale and fair value<br>gains on loans sold, loans held for sale and interest rate lock pipeline driven by increases to market interest rates while those loans were in the pipeline during the comparable 2020 period were offset by realized and unrealized hedge losses.<br>

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus the three months ended March 31, 2020

Net loss increased $27.8 million or 345.0% as a result of higher interest expense on non-funding corporate debt, fair value adjustment to minority investments, higher general and administrative expenses, net of allocations, combined with higher salaries, benefits and related expenses, net of allocations.

Total interest and other expense increased $15.8 million or 1,115.3% as a result of a $9.5 million<br>decrease in the fair value of minority investments combined with $7.7 million of interest expense related to the senior unsecured notes issued in November 2020.
General and administrative expenses, net of shared services allocations, increased $7.8 million or 236.3%<br>due to higher professional fees, including legal and accounting advisory fees related to the Business Combination.
--- ---
Salaries, benefits, and related expenses, net of allocations, increased $4.5 million or 156.1% primarily due<br>to an increase in average headcount and bonus compensation. Average headcount for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 353 compared to 263 for the 2020 period.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The presentation of non-GAAP measures is used to enhance the investors’ understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These key financial measures provide an additional view of our performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before change in fair value of loans and securities held for investment due to assumption changes, interest on non-funding debt, depreciation, amortization and other impairments, change in fair value of earnouts, share-based compensation, change in fair value of minority investments and certain non-recurring costs. We manage our Company by each of our operating and non-operating segments: Loan Originations (made up of Mortgage, Reverse, and Commercial Originations segments), Portfolio Management, Lender Services and Corporate and Other. We evaluate the performance of our segments through the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. Management considers Adjusted EBITDA important in evaluating our business segments and the Company as a whole. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental metric utilized by our management team to assess the underlying key drivers and operational performance of the continuing operations of the business and our operating segments. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use these measures when analyzing our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and our use of this measure and term may vary from other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA provides visibility to the underlying operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items, including income taxes, interest expense on non-funding debt, depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets and other impairments, share-based compensation, changes in fair value of loans and securities held for investment due to assumption changes, change in fair value of earnouts and minority investments, and other non-recurring costs that management does not believe are representative of our core earnings. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with our intent of providing a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternate to (i) net income (loss) or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flows determine in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations of this metric are:

cash expenditures for future contractual commitments;
cash requirements for working capital needs;
--- ---
cash requirements for certain tax payments; and
--- ---
all non-cash income/expense items reflected in the Consolidated<br>Statements of Cash Flows.
--- ---

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or distribute to stockholders. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement. Users of our financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Adjusted EBITDA.

^(1)^ Change in Fair Value of Loans and Securities Held for Investment due to Assumption Changes - This<br>adjustment relates to changes in the significant market or model input components of the fair value for loans and securities which are held for investment, net of related liabilities. We include an adjustment for the significant market or model<br>input components of the change in fair value because, while based on real observable and/or predicted changes in drivers of the valuation of assets, they may be mismatched in any given period with the actual change in the underlying economics or<br>when they will be realized in actual cash flows. We do not record this change as a separate component in our financial records, but have generated this information based on modeling and certain assumptions. Changes in Fair Value of Loans and<br>Securities Held for Investment due to Assumption Changes includes changes in fair value for the following mortgage servicing rights, loans held for investment, and related liabilities:
--- ---
1. Reverse mortgage loans held for investment, subject to HMBS related obligations, at fair value;<br>
--- ---
2. Mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt, at fair value;
--- ---
3. Mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value;
--- ---
4. Debt Securities;
--- ---
5. Mortgage servicing rights, at fair value;
--- ---
6. HMBS related obligations, at fair value; and
--- ---
7. Nonrecourse debt, at fair value.
--- ---

The adjustment for changes in fair value of loans and securities held for investment due to assumption changes is calculated based on changes in fair value associated with the above assets and liabilities calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding the period-to-date estimated impact of the change in fair value attributable to current period additions and the change in fair value attributable to portfolio run-off, net of hedge gains and losses and any securitization expenses incurred in securitizing our mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt. This adjustment represents changes in accounting estimates that are measured in accordance with US GAAP. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions due to factors such as changes in the economy, interest rates, secondary market pricing, prepayment assumptions, home prices or discrete events affecting specific borrowers, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, this number should be understood as an estimate and the actual adjustment could vary if our modeling is incorrect.

^(2)^ Change in Fair Value of Earnouts - We are obligated to pay contingent consideration to sellers of<br>acquired businesses based on future loan originations and profits. Change in fair value of earnouts represents impacts to revenue or expense due to changes in the estimated fair value of expected payouts as a result of changes in various<br>assumptions, including future loan origination volumes, projected earnings and discount rates.
^(3)^ Change in Fair Value of Minority Investments - The adjustment to minority equity investments and debt<br>investments is based on the change in fair value, which is an item that management believes should be excluded when discussing our ongoing and future operations. Although the change in fair value of minority equity investments and debt investments<br>is a recurring part of our business, we believe the adjustment is appropriate as the fair value fluctuations from period to period make it difficult to analyze core-operating trends.
--- ---
^(4)^ Certain Non-Recurring Costs - This adjustment relates to various<br>one-time expenses and adjustments that management believes should be excluded as they do not relate to a recurring part of the core business operations. These items include certain one-time charges including estimated settlements for legal and regulatory matters, acquisition related expenses and other one-time charges.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Impact of theBusiness Combination

New Pubco is a holding company and has no material assets other than its direct and indirect ownership of FoA Units. New Pubco has no independent means of generating revenue. FoA makes distributions to its holders of FoA Units, including New Pubco and the Continuing Unitholders, in an amount sufficient to cover all applicable taxes at assumed tax rates, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements and dividends, if any, declared by it.

30

Deterioration in the financial condition, earnings or cash flow of FoA and its subsidiaries for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay such distributions. Additionally, the terms of our financing arrangements, including financing lines of credit and senior notes, contain covenants that may restrict FoA and its subsidiaries from paying such distributions, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, one of our subsidiaries, FAM, is subject to various regulatory capital and minimum net worth requirements as a result of their mortgage origination and servicing activities. Further, FoA is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of FoA (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets. Subsidiaries of FoA are generally subject to similar legal limitations on their ability to make distributions to FoA.

Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to risks and uncertainties. We may not be able to obtain additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all. Additionally, our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and to fund our capital requirements are dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, and other factors that are beyond our control. Accordingly, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and future borrowings may not be available from additional indebtedness or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs. Although we have no specific current plans to do so, if we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell additional equity to finance such acquisitions, which would result in additional expenses or dilution.

TaxReceivable Agreements

New Pubco will enter into Tax Receivable Agreements with certain of FoA’s existing owners that provides for the payment by New Pubco to such existing owners of 85% of the benefits, if any, that New Pubco is deemed to realize as a result of (i) tax basis adjustments that increased the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of FoA as a result of sales or exchanges of FoA Units in connection with or after the Business Combination or distributions with respect to the FoA Units prior to or in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) New Pubco’s utilization of certain tax attributes attributable to the Blockers or the Blocker Shareholders, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreements, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements. These increases in tax basis generated over time may increase (for tax purposes) New Pubco’s depreciation and amortization deductions and, therefore, these adjustments and other tax attributes may reduce the amount of tax that New Pubco would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the IRS may challenge all or part of the validity of that tax basis or other tax attributes, and a court could sustain such a challenge. The anticipated tax basis adjustments upon exchanges of FoA Units for shares of Class A Common Stock may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. Actual tax benefits realized by New Pubco may differ from tax benefits calculated under the Tax Receivable Agreements as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the Tax Receivable Agreements, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. The payment obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreements is an obligation of New Pubco and not of FoA. New Pubco expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of cash tax benefits, if any, it realizes from such tax benefits. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreements, the cash tax benefits will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of New Pubco to the amount of such taxes that New Pubco would have been required to pay had there been no tax basis adjustments of the assets of New Pubco as a result of sales or exchanges and no utilization of certain tax attributes attributable to the Blockers or Blocker Shareholders, and had New Pubco not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreements. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreements will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless (i) New Pubco exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreements for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreements, or (ii) New Pubco breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreements or certain change of control events occur, in which case all obligations generally will be accelerated and due as if New Pubco had exercised its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreements. Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreements is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. The anticipated tax basis adjustments, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the price of shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, the amount of tax attributes, changes in tax rates and the amount and timing of our income.

31

The payments that New Pubco may make under the Tax Receivable Agreements are expected to be substantial. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements are not conditioned upon continued ownership of New Pubco or FoA by the Continuing Unitholders.

We anticipate that New Pubco will account for the effects of these increases in tax basis and associated payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements arising from exchanges in connection with or after the Business Combination as follows:

New Pubco will record an increase in deferred tax assets for the estimated income tax effects of the increases in<br>tax basis based on enacted federal and state tax rates at the date of the exchange;
to the extent we estimate that New Pubco will not realize the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset,<br>based on an analysis that will consider, among other things, our expectation of future earnings, New Pubco will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance; and
--- ---
New Pubco will record 85% of the estimated realizable tax benefit (which is the recorded deferred tax asset less<br>any recorded valuation allowance) as an increase to the liability due under the Tax Receivable Agreements and the remaining 15% of the estimated realizable tax benefit as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
--- ---
All of the effects of changes in any of New Pubco’s estimates after the date of the exchange will be<br>included in net income. Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be included in net income.
--- ---

Sourcesand Uses of Cash

Our primary sources of funds for liquidity include: (i) payments received from sale or securitization of loans; (ii) payments from the liquidation or securitization of our outstanding participating interests in loans; and (iii) advance and warehouse facilities, other secured borrowings and the unsecured senior notes.

Our primary uses of funds for liquidity include: (i) funding of borrower advances and draws on outstanding loans; (ii) originations of loans; (iii) payment of operating expenses; (iv) repayment of borrowings and repurchases or redemptions of outstanding indebtedness, and (v) distributions to shareholders for the estimated taxes on pass-through taxable income.

Our cash flows from operating activities, as well as capacity through existing facilities, provide adequate resources to fund our anticipated ongoing cash requirements. We rely on these facilities to fund operating activities. As the facilities mature, we anticipate renewal of these facilities will be achieved. Future debt maturities will be funded with cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities and, if necessary, future access to capital markets. We continue to optimize the use of balance sheet cash to avoid unnecessary interest carrying costs.

Cash Flows

Our cash increased $113.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and decreased $38.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in cash flows for the 2021 period was primarily driven by an increase in proceeds on our loan sales of mortgage loans held for sale, net of origination activity. These cash inflows were partially offset by payments on our outstanding HMBS liabilities, net of new HMBS issuances.

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities totaled $118.0 million and $(133.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $251.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to higher gain on sale, net, as a result of higher sales volume during the period combined with increased realized hedge gain proceeds. We sold $8,399.2 million in residential mortgage loans held for sale during the period compared to $4,018.6 million in the prior period. Weighted average margins on sold loans were 2.4% for 2021 compared to 3.40% for 2020. Cash proceeds from the higher sales volumes were partially offset by an increase in cash used for originations of residential mortgage loans during the period. We originated $8,404.2 million in residential mortgage loans during the period compared to $4,220.5 million in the prior period.

32

Investing Cash Flow

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $312.0 million and $452.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The decrease of $140.0 million in cash used in our investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to three months ended March 31, 2020, was primarily attributable to higher proceeds on mortgage loans held for investment and mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt during the 2021 compared to 2020. These amounts were partially offset by higher loan origination volumes on loans held for investment, primarily for reverse mortgage loans. We originated $889.6 million of reverse mortgage loans during 2021 compared to $786.3 million in 2020. Reverse mortgage loans originated consist of initial reverse mortgage loan borrowing amounts, and additional participations and accretions of reverse mortgage loans, including subsequent borrower advances, mortgage insurance premiums, service fees and advances for which we are able to subsequently pool into a security.

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $307.7 million and $547.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The decrease of $239.7 million in cash provided by our financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, was primarily attributable to a decrease in net proceeds from our financing lines of credit of $367.1 million compared to $466.3 million, respectively, a decrease in net proceeds from nonrecourse debt of $(78.8) million compared to $115.3 million, respectively, and member distributions of $75.0 million in 2021. The decrease in net proceeds provided from our financing lines of credit was partially offset by higher net proceeds on issuance of securitization of reverse mortgage loans subject to HMBS obligations of $96.0 million in 2021 compared to $(33.9) million in 2020.

Financial Covenants

Our credit facilities contain various financial covenants, which primarily relate to required tangible net worth amounts, liquidity reserves, leverage ratio requirements, and profitability requirements. These covenants are measured at our operating subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of our required financial covenants.

Seller/Servicer Financial Requirements

We are also subject to net worth, capital ratio and liquidity requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Seller/Servicers, and Ginnie Mae for single family issuers. In both cases, these requirements apply to our operating subsidiaries, FAM and FAR, which are licensed sellers/ servicers of the respective GSEs. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of our seller/servicer financial requirements for FHA and Ginnie Mae. For additional information see Note 28 - Liquidity and Capital Requirements within the consolidated financial statements.

Minimum Net Worth

The minimum net worth requirement for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is defined as follows:

Base of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of outstanding UPB for total loans serviced.<br>
Tangible Net Worth comprises of total equity less goodwill, intangible assets, affiliate receivables and certain<br>pledged assets.
--- ---

The minimum net worth requirement for Ginnie Mae is defined as follows:

The sum of (i) base of $2.5 million plus 35 basis points of the issuer’s total single-family<br>effective outstanding obligations, and (ii) base of $5 million plus 1% of the total effective HMBS outstanding obligations.
Tangible Net Worth is defined as total equity less goodwill, intangible assets, affiliate receivables and certain<br>pledged assets. Effective for fiscal year 2020, under the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide, the issuers will no longer be permitted to include deferred tax assets when computing the minimum net worth requirement.
--- ---

Minimum Capital Ratio

In addition to the minimum net worth requirement, we are also required to hold a ratio of Tangible Net Worth to<br>Total Assets (excluding HMBS securitizations) greater than 6%.

33

FAR received a permanent waiver for the minimum outstanding capital requirements from Ginnie Mae.<br>

Minimum Liquidity

The minimum liquidity requirement for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is defined as follows:

3.5 basis points of total Agency Mortgage Servicing, plus
Incremental 200 basis points times the sum of the following:
--- ---
The total UPB of nonperforming (90 or more days delinquent) Agency Mortgage Servicing that is not in forbearance,<br>plus
--- ---
The total UPB of nonperforming (90 or more days delinquent) Agency Mortgage Servicing that is in forbearance and<br>which were delinquent at the time it entered forbearance, plus
--- ---
30% of the UPB of nonperforming (90 or more days delinquent) Agency Mortgage Servicing that is in forbearance and<br>which were current at the time it entered forbearance
--- ---
This liquidity must only be maintained to the extent this sum exceeds 6% of the total Agency Mortgage Servicing<br>UPB.
--- ---
Allowable assets for liquidity may include: cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted), available for sale or held<br>for trading investment grade securities (e.g., Agency MBS, Obligations of GSEs, US Treasury Obligations); and unused/available portion of committed servicing advance lines.
--- ---

The minimum liquidity requirement for Ginnie Mae is defined as follows:

Maintain liquid assets equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 10 basis points of our outstanding<br>single-family MBS.
Maintain liquid assets equal to at least 20% of our net worth requirement for HECM MBS.
--- ---

Summary of Certain Indebtedness

The following description is a summary of certain material provisions of our outstanding indebtedness. As of March 31, 2021, our debt obligations were approximately $18,663.0 billion. This summary does not restate the terms of our outstanding indebtedness in its entirety, nor does it describe all of the material terms of our indebtedness.

Warehouse Lines of Credit

Mortgage facilities

As of March 31, 2021, our Mortgage Originations segment had $3.1 billion in warehouse lines of credit collateralized by first lien mortgages with $1.9 billion aggregate principal amount drawn through 13 funding facility arrangements with 13 active lenders. These facilities are generally structured as master repurchase agreements under which ownership of the related eligible loans is temporarily transferred to a lender or as participation arrangements pursuant to which the lender acquires a participation interest in the related eligible loans. The funds advanced to us are generally repaid using the proceeds from the sale or securitization of the loans to, or pursuant to, programs sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae or to private secondary market investors, although prior payment may be required based on, among other things, certain breaches of representations and warranties or other events of default.

When we draw on these facilities, we generally must transfer and pledge eligible loans to the lender, and comply with various financial and other covenants. The facilities generally have one-year terms and expire at various times during 2021. Under our facilities, we generally transfer the loans at an advance rate less than the principal balance or fair value of the loans (the “haircut”), which serves as the primary credit enhancement for the lender. Since the advances to us are generally for less than 100% of the principal balance of the loans, we are required to use working capital to fund the remaining portion of the principal balance of the loans. The amount of the advance that is provided under the various facilities ranges from 94% to 100% of the market value or principal balance of the loans. Upon expiration, management believes it will either renew its existing warehouse facilities or obtain sufficient additional lines of credit. The interest rate on all outstanding facilities is LIBOR plus applicable margin.

Reverse mortgage facilities

As of March 31, 2021, our Reverse Originations segment had $1.2 billion in warehouse lines of credit collateralized by first lien mortgages with $0.7 billion million aggregate principal amount drawn through 7 funding facility arrangements with 8 active lenders. These facilities are generally structured as master repurchase agreements under which ownership of the related eligible loans is temporarily transferred to a lender, or as participation arrangements pursuant to which the lender acquires a participation interest in the related eligible loans. The funds advanced to us are generally repaid using the proceeds from the sale or securitization of the loans to, or pursuant to, programs sponsored by Ginnie Mae or private secondary market investors, although prior payment may be required based on, among other things, certain breaches of representations and warranties or other events of default.

When we draw on these warehouse lines of credit, we generally must transfer and pledge eligible loans, and comply with various financial and other covenants. The facilities generally have one-year terms and expire at various times during 2021. Under our facilities, we generally transfer the loans at a haircut which serves as the primary credit enhancement for the lender. Since the advances to us are generally for less than the acquisition cost of the loans, we are required to use working capital to fund the remaining portion of the funding required for the loan. The amount of the advance that is provided under the various facilities ranges from 90 to 104% of the market value or principal balance of the loans. Upon expiration, management believes it will either renew its existing facilities or obtain sufficient additional lines of credit. The interest rate on all outstanding facilities is LIBOR plus applicable margin.

The following table presents additional information about our Reverse Origination segment’s warehouse facilities as of March 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Commercial loan facilities

As of March 31, 2021, our Commercial Originations segment had $0.7 billion in warehouse lines of credit collateralized by first lien mortgages and encumbered agricultural loans with $0.3 billion aggregate principal amount drawn through 6 funding facility arrangements with 6 active lenders. These facilities are either structured as master repurchase agreements under which ownership of the related eligible loans is temporarily transferred to a lender, as loan and security agreements pursuant to which the related eligible assets are pledged as collateral for the loan from the related lender or are collateralized by first lien loans or crop loans. The funds advanced to us are generally repaid using the proceeds from the sale or securitization of the loans to private secondary market investors, although prior payment may be required based on, among other things, certain breaches of representations and warranties or other events of default.

When we draw on these facilities, we must transfer and pledge eligible loan collateral, and comply with various financial and other covenants. The facilities generally have one-year terms and expire at various times during 2021. Under our facilities, we generally transfer the loans at a haircut, which serves as the primary credit enhancement for the lender. One of our warehouse lines of credit is also guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Finance of America Holdings LLC (“FAH”), the parent holding company to the commercial lending business. Since the advances to us are generally for less than 100% of the principal balance of the loans, we are required to use working capital to fund the remaining portion of the principal balance of the loans. The amount of the advance that is provided under the various facilities generally ranges from 70% to 85% of the principal balance of the loans. Upon expiration, management believes it will either renew its existing facilities or obtain sufficient additional lines of credit. The interest rate on all outstanding facilities is LIBOR plus applicable margin.

General

With respect to each of our warehouse facilities, we pay certain up-front and/or ongoing fees which can be based on our utilization of the facility. In some instances, loans held by a lender for a contractual period exceeding 45 to 60 calendar days after we originate such loans are subject to additional fees and interest rates.

Certain of our warehouse facilities contain sub-limits for “wet” loans, which allow us to finance loans for a minimal period of time prior to delivery of the note collateral to the lender. “Wet” loans are loans for which the collateral custodian has not yet received the related loan documentation. “Dry” loans are loans for which all the sale documentation has been completed at the time of funding. Wet loans are held by a lender for a contractual period, typically between five and ten business days and are subject to a reduction in the advance amount.

Interest is generally payable at the time the loan is settled off the line or monthly in arrears and principal is payable upon receipt of loan sale proceeds or transfer of a loan to another line of credit. The facilities may also require the outstanding principal to be repaid if a loan remains on the line longer than a contractual period of time, which ranges from 45 to 365 calendar days.

36

Interest on our warehouse facilities vary by facility and may depend on the type of asset that is being financed. Interest is based on an applicable margin over the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate as illustrated in the tables in this section above.

Loans financed under certain of our warehouse facilities are subject to changes in market valuation and margin calls. The market value of our loans depends on a variety of economic conditions, including interest rates and market demand for loans. Under certain facilities, if the market value of the underlying loans declines below the outstanding asset balance on such loans or if the UPB of such loans falls below a threshold related to the repurchase price for such loans, we could be required to (i) repay cash in an amount that cures the margin deficit or (ii) supply additional eligible assets or rights as collateral for the underlying loans to compensate for the margin deficit. Certain warehouse facilities allow for the remittance of cash back to us if the value of the loan exceeds the principal balance.

Our warehouse facilities require each of our borrowing subsidiaries to comply with various customary operating and financial covenants, including, without limitation, the following tests:

minimum tangible or adjusted tangible net worth;
maximum leverage ratio of total liabilities (which may include<br>off-balance sheet liabilities) or indebtedness to tangible or adjusted tangible net worth;
--- ---
minimum liquidity or minimum liquid assets; and
--- ---
minimum net income or pre-tax net income.
--- ---

In the event we fail to comply with the covenants contained in any of our warehouse lines of credit, or otherwise were to default under the terms of such agreements, we may be restricted from paying dividends, reducing or retiring our equity interests, making investments or incurring more debt. As a result of market disruptions and fair value accounting adjustments taken in March 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak, our commercial loan origination subsidiary was in violation of its first, second, and third quarter 2020 profitability covenants with two of its warehouse lenders. We received waivers of the covenant violations from both lenders as well as amendments to profitability covenants for the remaining quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Other Secured Lines of Credits

As of March 31, 2021, our Mortgage, Reverse, and Commercial Originations segments collectively had $0.6 billion in additional secured facilities with $0.5 billion aggregate principal amount drawn through credit agreements or master repurchase agreements with 7 active lenders. These facilities are secured by, among other things, eligible asset-backed securities, MSRs, and HECM tails. In certain instances, these assets are subject to existing first lien warehouse financing, in which case these facilities (i.e., mezzanine facilities) are secured by the equity in these assets exceeding first lien warehouse financing. One of our facilities was with Blackstone Residential Operating Partnership LP, an affiliate of our sponsor, Blackstone, as lender. These facilities are generally structured as master repurchase agreements under which ownership of the related eligible assets are temporarily transferred to a lender. The funds advanced to us are generally repaid using the proceeds from the sale or securitization of the underlying assets or distribution from underlying securities, although prior payment may be required based on, among other things, certain breaches of representations and warranties or other events of default.

When we draw on these facilities, we generally must transfer and pledge eligible assets to the lender, and comply with various financial and other covenants. Under our facilities, we generally transfer the assets at a haircut which serves as the primary credit enhancement for the lender. Three of these facilities are guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiary, FAH, the parent holding company to the mortgage, reverse mortgage and commercial lending businesses, and one of these also benefits from a pledge of equity of our wholly-owned subsidiary, FAR. Upon expiration, management believes it will either renew these facilities or obtain sufficient additional lines of credit.

We pay certain up-front and ongoing fees based on our utilization with respect to many of these facilities. We pay commitment fees based upon the limit of the facility and unused fees are paid if utilization falls below a certain amount.

Interest is payable either at the time the loan or securities are settled off the line or monthly in arrears and principal is payable upon receipt of asset sale proceeds, principal distributions on the underlying pledged securities or transfer of assets to another line of credit and upon the maturity of the facility.

Under these facilities, we are generally required to comply with various customary operating and financial covenants. The financial covenants are similar to those under the warehouse lines of credit. We were in compliance with all of these covenants as of March 31, 2021.

HMBS related obligations

FAR is an approved issuer of HMBS securities that are guaranteed by Ginnie Mae and collateralized by participation interests in HECMs insured by the FHA. We originate HECMs insured by the FHA. Participations in the HECMs are pooled into HMBS securities which are sold into the secondary market with servicing rights retained. We have determined that loan transfers in the HMBS program do not meet the accounting definition of a participating interest because of the servicing requirements in the product that require the issuer/servicer to absorb some level of interest rate risk, cash flow timing risk and incidental credit risk due to the buyout of HECM assets as discussed below. As a result, the transfers of the HECMs do not qualify for sale accounting, and we, therefore, account for these transfers as financings. Holders of participating interests in the HMBS have no recourse against assets other than the underlying HECM loans, remittances, or collateral on those loans while they are in the securitization pools, except for standard representations and warranties and our contractual obligation to service the HECMs and the HMBS.

Remittances received on the reverse loans, if any, and proceeds received from the sale of real estate owned and our funds used to repurchase reverse loans are used to reduce the HMBS related obligations by making payments to the securitization pools, which then remit the payments to the beneficial interest holders of the HMBS. The maturity of the HMBS related obligations is directly affected by the liquidation of the reverse loans or liquidation of real estate owned and events of default as stipulated in the reverse loan agreements with borrowers. As an HMBS issuer, FAR assumes certain obligations related to each security it issues. The most significant obligation is the requirement to purchase loans out of the Ginnie Mae securitization pools once they reach certain limits set at loan origination for the maximum UPB allowed. Performing repurchased loans are generally conveyed to HUD and nonperforming repurchased loans are generally liquidated in accordance with program requirements.

As of March 31, 2021, we had HMBS-related borrowings of $9,926.1 million and HECMs pledged as collateral to the pools of $10,071.2 million, both carried at fair value.

38

Additionally, as the servicer of reverse loans, we are obligated to fund additional borrowing capacity primarily in the form of undrawn lines of credit on floating rate reverse loans. We rely upon our operating cash flows to fund these additional borrowings on a short-term basis prior to securitization. The additional borrowings are generally securitized within 30 days after funding. The obligation to fund these additional borrowings could have a significant impact on our liquidity.

Nonrecourse Debt

We securitize and issue interests in pools of loans that are not eligible for the Ginnie Mae securitization program. These include reverse mortgage loans that were previously repurchased out of an HMBS pool (“HECM Buyouts”), fix & flip securitized loans, and non FHA-insured non-agency reverse mortgages (“non-agency reverse mortgages-Securitized”). The transactions provide investors with the ability to invest in these pools of assets. The transactions provide us with access to liquidity for these assets, ongoing servicing fees, and potential residual returns for the residual securities we retain at the time of securitization. The transactions are structured as secured borrowings with the loan assets and liabilities, respectively, included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as mortgage loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt, at fair value, and nonrecourse debt, at fair value. As of March 31, 2021, we had nonrecourse debt-related borrowings of $5,227.9 million.

Nonrecourse MSR Financing Liability, at Fair Value

In 2020, the Company entered into a nonrevolving facility commitment with various investors of FoA to pay an amount based on monthly cashflows received in respect of servicing fees generated from certain of the Company’s originated or acquired MSRs. Under these agreements, the Company has agreed to pay an amount to these parties equal to excess servicing and ancillary fees related to the identified MSRs in exchange for an upfront payment equal to the entire purchase price of the identified acquired or originated MSRs. These transactions are accounted for as financings under ASC 470, Debt.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had an outstanding advance against this commitment of $22.4 million, with a fair value of $22.1 million, for the purchase of MSRs. The Company accrued for excess servicing and ancillary fees against the outstanding advances in the amount of $1.1 million to these investors for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On November 5, 2020, Finance of America Funding LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2025. The senior unsecured notes bear interest at a rate of 7.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 beginning on May 15, 2021. The 7.875% senior unsecured notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by FoA and each of FoA’s material existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than Finance of America Funding LLC and subsidiaries that cannot guarantee the notes for tax, contractual or regulatory reasons).

At any time prior to November 15, 2022, Finance of America Funding LLC may redeem some or all of the 7.875% senior unsecured notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the applicable premium as of the redemption date under the terms of the indenture and accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price during each of the twelve-month periods following November 15, 2022, November 15, 2023, and at any time after November 15, 2024 is 103.938%, 101.969% and 100.000%, respectively, of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. At any time prior to November 15, 2022, Finance of America Funding LLC may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior unsecured notes redeemed, with an amount equal to or less than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the holders of the 7.875% senior unsecured notes will have the right to require Finance of America Funding LLC to make an offer to repurchase each holder’s 7.875% senior unsecured notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The consummation of the Business Combination did not result in a change of control for purposes of Finance of America Funding LLC’s 7.875% senior unsecured notes.

The 7.875% senior unsecured notes contain covenants limiting, among other things, Finance of America Funding LLC’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur certain types of additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, incur liens, make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and merge or consolidate or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or

39

substantially all of Finance of America Funding LLC’s assets. These incurrence based covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications (including any relevant exceptions for the Business Combination). Many of these covenants will cease to apply with respect to the 7.875% senior unsecured notes during any time that the 7.875% senior unsecured notes have investment grade ratings from either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings Inc. and no default with respect to the 7.875% senior unsecured notes has occurred and is continuing.

FoA’s existing owners or their affiliated entities, including Blackstone and Brian L. Libman, FoA’s founder and chairman, purchased notes in the offering in an aggregate principal amount of $135.0 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table provides a summary of obligations and commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2021 (in thousands). The information below does not give effect to the Business Combination or the use of proceeds therefrom.

Total $ 8,837,340 $ 3,956,927 $ 4,278,763 $ 429,646 $ 172,004

In addition to the above contractual obligations, we have also been involved with several securitizations of HECM loans, which were structured as secured borrowings. These structures resulted in us carrying the securitized loans on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and recognizing the asset-backed certificates acquired by third parties as HMBS obligations. The timing of the principal payments on this nonrecourse debt is dependent on the payments received on the underlying mortgage loans and liquidation of real estate owned REO. The outstanding principal balance of loans held for investment, subject to HMBS related obligations was $9,179.0 million as of March 31, 2021.

In addition to the above contractual obligations, we have also been involved in the sale of a portion of the excess servicing and/or an agreement to pay certain amounts based on excess servicing cashflows generated on our owned mortgage servicing rights. These transactions are treated as structured financings in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition with the recognized proceeds being recorded as nonrecourse MSR financing liability. The timing of the payments of the nonrecourse MSR financing liability is dependent on the payments received on the underlying mortgage servicing rights.

The payments that we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreements that was entered into in connection with the Business Combination may be significant and are not reflected in the contractual obligations tables set forth above.

Off BalanceSheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we may engage in certain activities that are not reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, generally referred to as off-balance sheet arrangements. These activities typically involve transactions with unconsolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”).

For all VIEs in which we are involved, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE on an ongoing basis. In circumstances where we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could be significant, we would conclude that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and would consolidate the VIE (also referred to as on-balance sheet). In situations where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we do not consolidate the VIE and only recognize our interests in the VIE (also referred to as off-balance sheet).

We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes as of March 31, 2021.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, we have identified several policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to fair value measurements, particularly those determined to be Level 3 as discussed in Note 5 - Fair Value within the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of the consolidated financial statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition. Fair value measurements considered to be Level 3 representing estimated values based on significant unobservable inputs include (i) the valuation of loans held for investment, subject to HMBS related obligations at fair value (ii) the valuation of loans held for investment, subject to nonrecourse debt, at fair value (iii) the valuation of loans held for investment, at fair value (iv) the valuation of HMBS related obligations, at fair value and (v) valuation of nonrecourse debt, at fair value.

Fair ValueMeasurements

Reverse Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, at Fair Value

We have elected to account for all outstanding reverse mortgage loans held for investment at fair value. Outstanding reverse mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value include originated reverse mortgage loans that are expected to be sold or securitized in the secondary market, reverse mortgage loans that were previously securitized into either an HMBS or private securitization, or repurchased reverse loans out of Ginnie Mae securitization pools.

We have determined that HECM loans transferred under the current Ginnie Mae HMBS securitization program do not meet the requirements for sale accounting and are not derecognized upon date of transfer. The Ginnie Mae HMBS securitization program includes certain terms that do not meet the participating interest requirements and require or provide an option for the Company to reacquire the loans prior to maturity. Due to these terms, the transfer of the loans does not meet the requirements of sale accounting. As a result, the Company accounts for HECM loans transferred into HMBS securitizations as secured borrowings and continues to recognize the loans as held for investment, along with the corresponding liability for the HMBS related obligations.

As a jumbo reverse mortgage, non-agency reverse mortgage loans are designated for homeowners aged 62 or older with higher priced homes. The minimum home value is $0.5 million and the maximum loan amount is $4.0 million. Non-agency reverse mortgage loans are not insured by the FHA and will not be placed into a Ginnie Mae HMBS. However, the Company may transfer or pledge these assets as collateral for securitized nonrecourse debt obligations.

Reverse mortgage loans held for investment, at fair value also include claims receivable that have been submitted to HUD awaiting reimbursement. These amounts are recorded net of amounts the Company does not expect to recover through outstanding claims.

As an issuer of HMBS, we are required to repurchase reverse loans out of the Ginnie Mae securitization pools once the outstanding principal balance of the related HECM is equal to or greater than 98% of the maximum claim amount (“MCA”) (referred to as unpoolable loans). Performing repurchased loans are conveyed to HUD and payment is received from HUD typically within 75 days of repurchase. Nonperforming repurchased loans are generally liquidated through foreclosure, subsequent sale of the real estate owned, and claim submissions to HUD.

We recognize reverse mortgage loans held for investment at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded as a charge or credit to net fair value gains on mortgage loans and related obligations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. We estimate the fair value of these loans using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being prepayment, borrower mortality, borrower draw, home price appreciation, and discount rate assumptions.

41

Commercial Loans Held for Investment, at Fair Value

We have elected to account for all outstanding commercial loans held for investment at fair value. Outstanding commercial loans include originated Fix & Flip loans, consisting of short-term loans for individual real estate investors, with terms ranging from 9-18 months for which we intend to hold to maturity.

We recognize commercial loans held for investment at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded as a charge or credit to net fair value gains on loans in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. We estimate the fair value of these loans using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being prepayment, default rate, and discount rate assumptions.

Mortgage Servicing Rights, at Fair Value

We account for retained and acquired MSRs in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. Under this method, servicing assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis with changes in fair value recorded through earnings in the period of the change as a component of fee income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The fair value of the MSRs is based upon the present value of the expected future net cash flows related to servicing these loans. For MSRs that we have current commitments to sell to third parties, the fair value is based on the outstanding commitment price. We receive a base servicing fee based on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the loans, which are collected from borrowers on a monthly basis. We determine the fair value of the MSRs by the use of a discounted cash flow model that incorporates prepayment speeds, delinquencies, discount rate, ancillary revenues and other assumptions (including costs to service) that management believes are consistent with the assumptions other similar market participants use in valuing the MSRs.

HMBS Obligations, at Fair Value

We have elected to account for all outstanding HMBS obligations at fair value. The HMBS obligation considers the obligation to pass FHA insured cash flows through to the beneficial interest holders (repayment of the secured borrowings) of the HMBS securities and the servicer and issuer obligations of the Company.

As issuer and servicer of the HMBS security, we are required to perform various servicing activities, including processing borrower payments, maintaining borrower contact, facilitating borrower advances, generating borrower statements, and facilitating loss-mitigation strategies in an attempt to keep defaulted borrowers in their homes.

We recognize HMBS obligations at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded as a charge or credit to net fair value gains on loans in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. We estimate the fair value of these loans using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being prepayment, borrower mortality, and discount rate assumptions.

Nonrecourse Debt, at Fair Value

We have elected to account for all outstanding nonrecourse debt at fair value. We issued nonrecourse debt securities, at fair value secured by loans made to real estate investors, which provides the Company with access to liquidity for the loans and ongoing management fees. The principal and interest on the outstanding certificates are paid using the cash flows from the underlying securitized loans, which serve as collateral for the debt.

We recognize our outstanding nonrecourse debt at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded as a charge or credit to net fair value gains on loans in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. We estimate the fair value of these loans using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being prepayment, borrower mortality, and discount rate assumptions.

We use various internal financial models that use market participant data to value these loans. These models are complex and use asset specific collateral data and market inputs for interest and discount rates. In addition, the modeling requirements of loans are complex because of the high number of variables that drive cash flows associated with the loans. Even if the general accuracy of our valuation models is validated, valuations are highly dependent upon the reasonableness of our assumptions and the predictability of the relationships that drive the results of the models. On a quarterly basis, we obtain external market valuations from independent third party valuation experts in order to validate the reasonableness of our internal valuation.

42

Business Combinations and Goodwill

Acquisitions that qualify as a business combination are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of consideration transferred for an acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets, net acquired under a business combination.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, we complete valuation procedures for an acquisition to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These valuation procedures require management to make assumptions and apply significant judgment to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the estimates or assumptions used should significantly change, the resulting differences could materially affect the fair value of net assets. We estimate the fair value of the intangible assets acquired generally through a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis (the income approach) and an analysis of comparable market transactions (the market approach). For the income approach, we base the inputs and assumptions used to develop these estimates on a market participant perspective which include estimates of projected revenue, discount rates, economic lives and income tax rates, among others, all of which require significant management judgment. For the market approach, we apply judgment to identify the most comparable market transactions to the transaction. Finite lived intangible assets, net, which are primarily comprised of customer relationships and technology, are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, or on a basis more representative of the time pattern over which the benefit is derived, and are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 1st and monitored for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing either a qualitative assessment or a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment and determines the fair value more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary. For reporting units where we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, the difference would be recognized as an impairment loss.

Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the consolidated financial statements for a summary of recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards and their related effects or anticipated effects on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our principal market risk is to interest rate risk, primarily to changes in long-term Treasury rates and mortgage interest rates due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments. Changes in short-term interest rates will also have an impact on our warehouse financing lines of credit.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates will impact our operating segments as follows:

Portfolio Management

an increase in interest rates could generate an increase in delinquency, default and foreclosure rates resulting<br>in an increase in both higher servicing costs and interest expense on our outstanding debt.
an increase in interest rates and market spreads may cause a reduction in the fair value of our long-term assets.<br>
--- ---
a decrease in interest rates may generally increase prepayment speeds of our long-term assets which would lead a<br>reduction in the fair value of our long-term assets.
--- ---

43

Originations (Mortgage, Reverse and Commercial)

an increase in prevailing interest rates could adversely affect our loan origination volume as refinancing<br>activity will be less attractive to existing borrowers.
an increase in interest rates will lead to a higher cost of funds on our outstanding warehouse lines of credit.<br>
--- ---

Lender Services

an increase in interest rates will lead to lower origination volumes which would negatively impact the amount of<br>title and insurance clients we are able to service and the number of title policies that we are able to underwrite.
lower origination volumes from an increase in interest rates may lead to a reduction in our fulfillment services<br>as we process fewer loans for our clients.
--- ---
an increase in interest rates may lead to fewer student loan applications that we are asked to process for our<br>clients.
--- ---

We actively manage the risk profile of Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”) and loans held for sale on a daily basis and enter into forward sales of MBS in an amount equal to IRLCs expected to close assuming no change in mortgage interest rates.

Earnings on our held for investment assets depend largely on our interest rate spread, represented by the relationship between the yield on our interest-earning assets, primarily securitized assets, and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities, primarily securitized borrowings. Interest rate spreads are impacted by several factors, including forward interest rates, general economic factors, and the quality of the loans in our portfolio.

Consumer Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk in the event that certain of our borrowers are unable to pay their outstanding mortgage balances. We manage this credit risk by actively managing delinquencies and defaults through our servicers. We provide servicing oversight of our servicers to ensure they perform loss mitigation, foreclosure and collection functions according to standard acceptable servicing practices and in accordance with our various pooling and servicing agreements. We estimate the fair values on our outstanding mortgage loans using a combination of historical loss frequency and loss experience.

We principally sell our mortgage loans on a nonrecourse basis. We provide representations and warranties to purchasers of the loans sold over the life of the loan. Whenever there is a breach of these representation and warranties we will be required to repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser, and any subsequent loss on the loan will be borne by us. If there is no breach of the representation and warranty provision, we have no obligation to indemnify or repurchase the investor against loss. The outstanding UPB plus any premiums on the purchased loans represent the maximum potential exposure on outstanding representation and warranties that we are exposed to.

We estimate a reserve for losses on repurchased loans and indemnifications for future breaches of representation and warranties on any sold loans. This estimate is based on historical data on loan repurchase and indemnity activity, actual losses on repurchase loans and other factors.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to various agreements. We monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and do not anticipate material losses due to counterparty nonperformance.

Sensitivity Analysis

We utilize a sensitivity analysis to assess our market risk associated with changes in interest rates. This sensitivity analysis attempts to assess the potential impact to earnings based on hypothetical changes in interest rates.

The fair value of certain of our outstanding mortgage loans and related liabilities, MSRs, and certain investments are valued utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. The primary assumptions we utilize in these models include prepayment speeds, market discount rates, and credit default rates.

Our total market risk is impacted by a variety of other factors including market spreads and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time.

The sensitivities presented are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 25 bps variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors, which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
