(b) Anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Credit Party with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Credit Party to the Secured Parties) hereunder (including proceeds of Collateral of such Credit Party applied hereunder) shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Credit Party under Applicable Law, including Debtor Relief Laws; provided that, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the rights of contribution of each Credit Party provided in Section 6.02 below be included as an asset of the respective Credit Party in determining the maximum liability of such Credit Party hereunder. To that end, but only in the event and to the extent that after giving effect to Section 6.02, such Credit Party’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Credit Party to the Secured Parties) or any payment made pursuant to such Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Credit Party to the Secured Parties) would, but for the operation of the first sentence of this Section 2.01(b), be subject to avoidance or recovery in any such proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws after giving effect to Section 6.02, the amount of such Credit Party’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Credit Party to the Secured Parties) shall be limited to the largest amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not, under Debtor Relief Laws, render such Credit Party’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Credit Party to the Secured Parties) unenforceable or avoidable or otherwise subject to recovery under Debtor Relief Laws. To the extent any payment actually made pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations exceeds the limitation of the first sentence of this Section 2.01(b) and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws, the amount subject to avoidance shall in all events be limited to the amount by which such actual payment exceeds such limitation and the Guaranteed Obligations as limited by the first sentence of this Section 2.01(b) shall in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against such Credit Party.

Section 2.06 Information. Each Credit Party assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each other Credit Party’s financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Credit Party assumes and incurs hereunder and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Credit Party of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 2.07 Specified Guarantors. The provisions of Article 8 shall also be applicable with respect to the Specified Guarantee provided by each Specified Guarantor.

Section 2.08 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor (as defined below) hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds and other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.08 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.08, or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under Debtor Relief Laws and not for any greater amount).

Any sums paid upon or in respect of Pledged Equity Interests upon the liquidation or dissolution of the issuer thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to be promptly applied by it pursuant to Section 5.02. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of Pledged Securities shall be received by any Credit Party, such Credit Party shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, hold such money or property in trust for the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Credit Party, as additional security for the Secured Obligations.

(c) Each Credit Party shall, at its own expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral (other than Collateral that is deemed by such Credit Party not to be material to the conduct of its business) against all Persons and to defend the security interests of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(i) None of the Credit Parties shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral, or otherwise agree to enter into (or agree to enter into) a Negative Pledge, except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement. None of the Credit Parties shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Collateral except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, and each Credit Party shall remain at all times in possession of the Collateral owned by it, except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement.

(j) Each Credit Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Credit Party’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Credit Party on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Credit Party at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required under the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Administrative Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Credit Parties hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole reasonable discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, out-of-pocket expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

The Administrative Agent agrees with such Credit Party that the Administrative Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Administrative Agent’s loss of control, for the Credit Party to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as applicable, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Credit Party with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

(d) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Credit Party shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount reasonably estimated by such Credit Party to exceed $5,000,000, such Credit Party shall promptly (but in no event later than the next Delivery Date) notify the Administrative Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Credit Party including a summary description of such claim and grant to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

-29-

(e) Accounts. Other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice, no Credit Party will (i) amend, supplement, modify, extend, compromise, settle, credit or discount any account or (ii) release, wholly or partially, any Account Debtor, except where such extension, compromise, settlement, release, credit, discount, amendment, supplement or modification could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the value of the accounts, taken as a whole.

Section 4.05 Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

(a) Each Credit Party agrees that it will not do any act or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that is material to the conduct of such Credit Party’s business would become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to mark any products covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient in its reasonable judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under applicable patent laws.

(b) Each Credit Party (either itself or by agreement with its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Credit Party’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration (or, if such Trademark is unregistered, display such Trademark with notice as required for unregistered Trademarks) as necessary and sufficient in its reasonable judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under Applicable Laws and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in any violation of any third party rights.

(c) Each Credit Party (either itself or by agreement with its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a Copyright material to the conduct of such Credit Party’s business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and sufficient in its reasonable judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under applicable copyright laws.

(d) Each Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing promptly (but in no event later than the next Delivery Date) if it knows that any Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights material to the conduct of its business could reasonably be expected to become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Credit Party’s ownership of any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.

(e) In no event shall any Credit Party, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application with respect to any Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights material to the conduct of its business with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly (but in no event later than the next Delivery Date) informs the Administrative Agent in writing and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, executes and delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights, and each Credit Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings as are reasonably necessary for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

-30-

(f) Each Credit Party will exercise commercially reasonable steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each registration or application that is material to the conduct of such Credit Party’s business relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of any Credit Party’s business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(g) In the event that any Credit Party knows that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights material to the conduct of any Credit Party’s business has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Credit Party shall promptly (but in no event later than the next Delivery Date) notify the Administrative Agent in writing and shall, if in its reasonable business judgment, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution (and take any actions required by Applicable Law prior to instituting such suit), and take such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Credit Party from discontinuing the use or maintenance of any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights, or require any Credit Party to pursue any claim of infringement, misappropriation or dilution, if (x) such Credit Party so determines in its reasonable business judgment and (y) it is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement.

(h) Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Credit Party shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such Credit Party’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

Section 4.06 Covenants Related to Agency Collateral and MSR Assets. Subject at all times to the provisions of Article 8:

(a) Within two (2) Business Days after receipt (or immediately upon withdrawal from the applicable custodial account held by any applicable Credit Party in its capacity as Servicer at least once per calendar month), each Credit Party shall cause all Income received or retained by it to be deposited directly into a Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement and, to the extent any Credit Party is in possession or control of any Income not so deposited, shall hold such Income in trust for the Administrative Agent hereunder and promptly deposit such Income into a Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement;

-31-

(b) Each applicable Credit Party shall perform its obligations under and in accordance with the related Collateral Transaction Documents, Servicing Contracts, and other Agency Agreements in all material respects, shall not waive any or all of its material rights thereunder (including its rights to any Income) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent termination of such Credit Party by the applicable Agency and Investor, except if such termination would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Collateral, taken as a whole; and

(c) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Credit Party shall agree to any modification or amendment to the Collateral Transaction Documents which may have a material adverse effect on the value of, or the Secured Parties’ interest in, the related Collateral, taken as a whole; subject at all times, however, to the provisions of Article 8 hereunder and the provisions of Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4.07 Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. (a) As of the date hereof each Credit Party has neither opened nor maintains any Deposit Accounts other than the accounts listed on Schedule V. From and after the date hereof (or (x) in the case of any Deposit Account which was an Excluded Account but ceases to constitute same, thirty (30) days after such cessation or (y) in each case, such longer period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), each of the Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) of each Credit Party shall be subject to the terms of a fully executed Deposit Account Control Agreement. No Credit Party shall hereafter establish or maintain any Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Account) unless (1) the applicable Credit Party shall have given the Administrative Agent ten (10) days’ (or such other period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice of its intention to establish such new Deposit Account with a Cash Management Bank, (2) such Cash Management Bank shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (3) such Cash Management Bank and such Credit Party shall have duly executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account within thirty (30) days of its being established (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent agrees in its sole discretion). The Administrative Agent agrees with each Credit Party that the Administrative Agent shall not give any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal rights from such Credit Party with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. No Credit Party shall grant Control of any Deposit Account (other than Excluded Accounts) to any person other than the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party shall, promptly following a request of the Administrative Agent, provide it with a list of all Deposit Accounts (including Excluded Accounts) then maintained by it and all other information relating thereto as may be reasonably requested.

(b) As of the date hereof no Credit Party has any Securities Accounts other than those listed in Schedule VI, respectively. From and after the date hereof (or such longer period as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall have a perfected first priority security interest in such Securities Accounts by Control. No Credit Party shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account with any Securities Intermediary unless (1) the applicable Credit Party shall have given the Administrative Agent thirty (30) days’ (or such other period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice of its intention to establish such new Securities Account with such securities intermediary, (2) such securities intermediary or commodity intermediary shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (3) such securities intermediary and such Credit Party shall have duly executed and delivered a Securities Account Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account. The Administrative Agent agrees with each Credit Party that the Administrative Agent shall not give any entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any issuer of uncertificated securities or securities intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Credit Party, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. No Credit Party shall grant Control over any investment property to any person other than the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party shall, promptly following a request of the Administrative Agent, provide it with a list of all Securities Accounts (including Excluded Accounts) then maintained by it and all other information relating thereto as may be reasonably requested.

-32-

(c) The provisions of this Section 4.07 (other than information provisions) shall not apply to any Excluded Accounts (as defined below). For purposes of this clause (c), “Excluded Accounts” means (A) any Securities Account for which the Administrative Agent is the securities intermediary, (B) any Deposit Account maintained solely for payroll purposes or holding solely restricted cash in connection with self-insurance programs, (C) all accounts solely holding restricted cash in respect of Agency Requirements and including, without limitation, any Account the purpose of which is to hold Fannie Mae Reserves to secure the Credit Parties’ loss sharing obligations to Fannie Mae, (D) all accounts maintained solely as trust, escrow, payroll or similar accounts for the benefit of third parties, (E) all accounts maintained solely for purposes of holding proceeds of Permitted Funding Collateral, (F) zero balance accounts maintained in the ordinary course of business with amounts on deposit that do not exceed the amounts necessary to cover checks written, or electronic funds transfers drawn, in the ordinary course of business and (G) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Deposit Accounts with an amount on deposit that does not exceed the greater of (1) $1,000,000 and (2) an amount that, when aggregated with the amounts on deposit in all other Deposit Accounts for which Deposit Account Control Agreements have not been obtained (other than those specified in clauses (B) through (F) above), do not exceed $2,000,000 at any time.

ARTICLE 5.
REMEDIES

Section 5.01 Remedies upon Default. Subject to Article 8, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, enforce against the Credit Parties their obligations and liabilities hereunder and exercise such other rights and remedies as may be available to the Administrative Agent hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Cash Management Agreements, the Hedge Agreements or otherwise. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Credit Party agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Administrative Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that no such assignment shall occur if it results in the termination, nullification or avoidance of such Intellectual Property) or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained); (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law; and (c) such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Securities as if the Administrative Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Credit Party agrees to take all such action as may be reasonably appropriate to effect such right). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Credit Party agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Credit Party, and each Credit Party hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Credit Party now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

-33-

The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Credit Parties ten (10) days’ written notice (which each Credit Party agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Credit Party (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Credit Party therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Credit Party shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 5.02 Application of Proceeds.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Credit Agreement.

-34-

(b) Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt by the Administrative Agent or by the officer making the sale of any proceeds, moneys or balances of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Credit Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may have against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against the Administrative Agent arising from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent.

(c) The rights, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers, privileges and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and any other such Secured Party at law or in equity. Any such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other such Secured Party hereunder.

(d) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Secured Parties.

(e) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the respective Secured Parties for a determination (which respective Secured Parties agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Administrative Agent) of the outstanding Secured Obligations owed to the Lenders or other such Secured Parties, as the case may be. Unless it has received written notice from a Lender or another Secured Party to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Agreements and obligations under the Cash Management Agreements secured hereunder are in existence.

(f) It is understood that the Credit Parties shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

Section 5.03 Grant of License To Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Credit Party hereby grants to (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) the Administrative Agent or a designee of the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Credit Parties) to use, license or sublicense (except as may not be permitted by applicable law or contract) any of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Credit Party, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the effectiveness of such license is contingent, and the use of such license by the Administrative Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Credit Parties notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

-35-

Section 5.04 Securities Act. In view of the position of the Credit Parties in relation to the Pledged Securities, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Securities permitted hereunder. Each Credit Party understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Securities could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Securities under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Credit Party recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Administrative Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Securities, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Securities or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Securities at a price that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells.

Section 5.05 Agency Collateral. The provisions of this Article 5 are subject to the provisions of Article 8.

ARTICLE 6.
INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION

Section 6.01 Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all rights of indemnity and subrogation as any Credit Party may have under applicable law (but in each case subject to Section 6.03), each Credit Party agrees that: (a) in the event a payment of any Secured Obligation shall be made by any Credit Party under this Agreement, the other Credit Party shall indemnify such Credit Party for the full amount of such payment and such Credit Party shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Credit Party shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part any Secured Obligation owed to any Secured Party, each of the other Credit Parties shall indemnify such Credit Party in an amount equal to the fair value of the assets so sold.

-36-

Section 6.02 Contribution and Subrogation. Each Credit Party agrees (subject to Section 6.03) that to the extent such Credit Party shall have paid more than its proportionate share (based, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on the respective assets, liabilities and net worth of such Credit Parties on the date the respective payment is made) of any payment made hereunder (whether as a guarantor hereunder, with proceeds of the Collateral of any Credit Party applied hereunder deemed for this purpose to be payments made by it), such Credit Party shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Credit Party hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Credit Party’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Credit Party that is released from this Agreement (and its guarantees contained herein) in accordance with the express provisions of Section 7.14(b) shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 6.02, and at the time of any such release, the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Credit Parties shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided herein) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Credit Parties. Each Credit Party’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.03. The provisions of this Section 6.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Credit Party shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Credit Party hereunder.

Section 6.03 Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Credit Parties under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, and no Credit Party shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any other Credit Party or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Credit Party seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Credit Party in respect of payments made by such Credit Party hereunder (or paid with proceeds of collateral of such Credit Party hereunder), until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on account of the Secured Obligations are paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to any Credit Party on account of such contribution or subrogation rights at any time when all of the Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Credit Party in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Credit Party, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Credit Party, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Credit Party (duly indorsed by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be held as collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) of, or guaranteed by, such Credit Party and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied against any Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

ARTICLE 7.
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement, and with respect to communications with each Agency, as provided in Article 8 hereof; provided that no communication or notice hereunder from the Administrative Agent to any Credit Party upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default may be given by telephone.

Section 7.02 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power; provided, that no such single or partial exercise or abandonment or discontinuance shall prejudice any Credit Party in any material respect. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision in this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

-37-

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified nor any consent be given except in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.03 Indemnification.

(a) The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall pay all out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall pay and shall indemnify each Indemnitee against Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Each Credit Party hereby confirms its obligations under Section 11.3 of the Credit Agreement in all respects.

(e) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

Any amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

Section 7.04 Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties (except as otherwise provided by the Credit Agreement).

Section 7.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of the Term Loan, and the provision of services under Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on the Term Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any of the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made).

Section 7.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement; Other. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Credit Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Credit Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Credit Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Credit Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest in this Agreement or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Credit Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Credit Party without the approval of any other Credit Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Credit Party hereunder. In addition, each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees to be bound by and perform all of the covenants and obligations of the Credit Parties set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.07 Severability. Any provision in this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 7.08 Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document owed to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower, the other Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent in writing of such setoff or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 7.08. The rights of each Lender under this Section 7.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, litigation or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.09.

-40-

Section 7.11 Injunctive Relief. Each Credit Party recognizes that, in the event such Credit Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties. Therefore, each Credit Party agrees that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

Section 7.14 Termination or Release.

(a) Subject to Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the guarantees made in this Agreement shall terminate and the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall be automatically released when all the Obligations (other than (1) contingent obligations not yet due and payable and (2) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements or Secured Hedge Agreements) have been indefeasibly paid in full.

(b) A Subsidiary of the Credit Party immediately prior to the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement shall be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Person shall be released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Person ceases to be a Credit Party or a Subsidiary of a Credit Party.

ARTICLE 8.
SPECIAL PROVISIONS RESPECTING AGENCY COLLATERAL

Section 8.01 Special Fannie Mae Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision herein or any other Security Document to the contrary, and as further provided in Section 7.12, Section 8.4(a), Section 9.7, the final paragraph of Section 11.1(a), the final paragraph of Section 11.2, and Section 11.25 of the Credit Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8.01 shall apply in all events with respect to: (i) the “Fannie Mae Collateral”; (ii) the Pledged Equity Interests provided by: (1) W&D Multifamily in WDLLC and (2) by WDLLC in WD Capital, respectively, pursuant to Article 2 hereof; (iii) the guarantees provided by WDLLC and WD Capital, respectively pursuant to Article 2 hereof; and (iv) the other terms, conditions, notice requirements, limitations, and agreements with respect to the Fannie Mae Security Interests granted to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the “Fannie Mae Collateral” relating to the “Fannie Mae Designated Loans” under this Agreement and/or any other Security Document (as each of such quoted terms is defined below). In providing its Agency Consent, it is hereby acknowledged that Fannie Mae is relying, and such Agency Consent by Fannie Mae is expressly conditioned, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.01 and in Section 7.12, Section 8.4(a), Section 9.7, the final paragraph of Section 11.1(a), the final paragraph of Section 11.2, and Section 11.25 of the Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 8.01 and the provisions of any other Loan Document or any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8.01 shall control. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) and each Credit Party expressly acknowledge and agree as follows:

(a) Fannie Mae Security Interest in Fannie Mae Collateral.

(i) Each Credit Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Fannie Mae Security Interest”) in the following (the “Fannie Mae Collateral”) to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations: all servicing Income (including, without limitation, Ancillary Income and Servicing Fees) actually received under the Fannie Mae Servicing Contracts, respectively, by such Credit Party with respect to the Fannie Mae Loans (the “Fannie Mae Designated Loans”) serviced at any time and from time to time under the respective Fannie Mae Servicing Contracts, together with any other Income received on account of payments made by a third party (other than Fannie Mae) thereunder, but not the Fannie Mae Servicing Contracts or any other income (including, without limitation, principal and interest) related to the Fannie Mae Designated Loans. The Administrative Agent’s security interest is subject and subordinate to all rights, remedies, powers and prerogatives of Fannie Mae under all applicable Fannie Mae Agreements, including but not limited to Fannie Mae’s right to terminate WDLLC’s and WD Capital’s selling and servicing rights with respect to the Fannie Mae Designated Loans as provided in the respective Fannie Mae Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent acknowledges that (x) its security interest is subject to the rights of Fannie Mae, which must approve the Administrative Agent’s security interest (with such approval being given by Fannie Mae in the Agency Consent provided by Fannie Mae to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date) and (y) Fannie Mae’s Agency Consent is not and shall not extend to, be deemed to be or be construed as, Fannie Mae’s consent or approval of Administrative Agent’s exercise of any right, power, or remedy with respect to the Fannie Mae Security Interest or the Fannie Mae Collateral from time to time (with such approval, to the extent required by the terms hereof, to be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion).

(ii) Each Credit Party authorizes the Administrative Agent to file such financing statements as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to perfect the Fannie Mae Security Interest in the Fannie Mae Collateral.

-44-

(iii) Subject to Section 8.01(a)(i), each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Administrative Agent, or its delegate, as the attorney in fact of each such Credit Party, with the right (but not the duty) from time to time, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (1) create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file, in the name and on behalf of such Credit Party, any and all instruments, documents, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by such Credit Party under this Section 8.01(a)(iii); (2) convert the Fannie Mae Collateral into cash, including, without limitation, the sale (either public or private) of all or any portion or portions of the Fannie Mae Collateral; (3) enforce collection of the Fannie Mae Collateral, either in its own name or in the name of any applicable Credit Party, including, without limitation, executing releases and prosecuting, defending, compromising or releasing any action relating to the Fannie Mae Collateral; (4) take such other actions as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to continue the perfection and priority of its security interest or to realize upon the Fannie Mae Collateral (the foregoing acts, remedies, and powers being referred to herein sometimes, singly and collectively, as “Enforcement Actions Respecting Fannie Mae Collateral”); and (5) to cause any applicable Credit Party to undertake and effect any Specified Sale of the Fannie Mae Program Assets as and when further provided herein. The Administrative Agent shall not be obliged to do any of the acts or exercise any of the powers hereinabove authorized, but if the Administrative Agent elects to do any such act or exercise any such power, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and it shall not be responsible to any Credit Party or any other Person except for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or actual bad faith.

(iv) To the extent that the respective Fannie Mae Designated Loans remain subject to the Fannie Mae Agreements, the applicable Credit Party will remain the servicer of the Fannie Mae Designated Loans and will continue to service the Fannie Mae Designated Loans in accordance with Fannie Mae Agreements. Such Credit Party shall not pledge (or, except as may be expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, enter into (or agree to enter into) a Negative Pledge respecting) any of its respective servicing rights with respect to any of the Fannie Mae Designated Loans to any other Person.

(v) The Administrative Agent has no right to service the Fannie Mae Designated Loans or affect the manner in which any Credit Party services the Fannie Mae Designated Loans. If Fannie Mae terminates any Credit Party’s respective servicing rights with respect to the Fannie Mae Designated Loans, the grant of the Fannie Mae Security Interest by such Credit Party hereunder will terminate automatically, and the Administrative Agent will release its Lien created by such Fannie Mae Security Interest and execute and file all necessary documents to reflect such release; provided, however, that no such termination (and no such release) shall relate to, or otherwise affect, (A) the Fannie Mae Security Interest granted by any other Credit Party or (B) the Fannie Mae Security Interest respecting Fannie Mae Collateral comprised of servicing Income then accrued or otherwise earned by such Credit Party through the date that Fannie Mae provides written notice to the Administrative Agent that such servicing rights of such Credit Party shall have been so terminated with respect to such Fannie Mae Designated Loans (which accrued and earned servicing Income shall in all events remain Fannie Mae Collateral), with such termination (and such release) relating only to servicing Income accruing or otherwise earned by such Credit Party, from and after the date of such written notice of termination to the Administrative Agent.

-45-

(vi) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default for thirty (30) days or more, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights under Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement, Article 5 hereof, and this Section 8.01, the Administrative Agent may: (A) direct that all Servicing Fees payable to any Credit Party with respect to the Fannie Mae Designated Loans be deposited into lockbox accounts held by the Administrative Agent; (B) in its own name, in the name of such Credit Party or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Fannie Mae Collateral, but the Administrative Agent has no obligation to do so; (C) by written notice to such Credit Party, direct such Credit Party to sell the selling and servicing rights to the Fannie Mae Designated Loans (in which event such Credit Party shall (or, as may be applicable, the Administrative Agent, on account of any realization of the Specified Pledged Equity Interests (as defined below) may cause such Credit Party to): (x) retain a nationally recognized firm that specializes in the sale of Fannie Mae selling and servicing rights and other assets that are used in or related to any Fannie Mae Program (collectively, the “Fannie Mae Program Assets”) (which firm must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (y) sell the selling and servicing rights and related Fannie Mae Program Assets respecting the Fannie Mae Designated Loans to another Fannie Mae lender/servicer within sixty (60) days of such notice from the Administrative Agent) (with the actions set forth in this clause (C) being referred to herein as the “Specified Sale of Fannie Mae Program Assets”); and (D) exercise and enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to the Administrative Agent under the UCC, at law or in equity, subject to the consent rights of Fannie Mae as set forth in this Section 8.01. Any sale of such selling or servicing rights and other related Fannie Mae Program Assets respecting the Fannie Mae Designated Loans must and shall be subject to the prior written consent of Fannie Mae, which consent may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion. All proceeds of such sale will be applied first to the expenses of the sale, then to any amounts due to Fannie Mae from such Credit Party under the Servicing Contracts sold, and then to the outstanding balance of the Secured Obligations (as provided in Section 9.4 of the Credit Agreement), with any remaining balance remitted to the Borrower. Fannie Mae shall have no obligation to comply with any directions of the Administrative Agent or to alter in any way servicing requirements, flows of funds, or accounting of servicing. Subject at all times to the consent rights of Fannie Mae in accordance with the terms hereof, JPMorgan (or any designee of JPMorgan approved in writing by Fannie Mae in its sole and absolute discretion) may seek approval from Fannie Mae: (i) to acquire Fannie Mae Program Assets as a result of any Specified Sale of Fannie Mae Program Assets and/or (ii) in connection with the realization of the Specified Pledged Equity Interests under the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge, to cause any applicable Credit Party to retain its respective Fannie Mae Program Assets as further provided in Section 8.01(b)(ii), below (collectively, as may be applicable, “Retention of Fannie Mae Program Assets”).

(vii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default for thirty (30) days or more, the Administrative Agent or its designee is entitled to receive and collect all sums payable to any applicable Credit Party in respect of the Fannie Mae Collateral, and, in such case: (A) the Administrative Agent or its designee in its discretion may, in its own name, in the name of such Credit Party, or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Fannie Mae Collateral, but the Administrative Agent has no obligation to do so, (B) such Credit Party must, if the Administrative Agent requests it to do so, hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and immediately pay to the Administrative Agent at its office designated by notice, all amounts received by such Credit Party upon or in respect of any of the Fannie Mae Collateral, advising the Administrative Agent as to the source of those funds, and (C) all amounts so received and collected by the Administrative Agent will be held by it as part of the Fannie Mae Collateral.

-46-

(viii) Unless Fannie Mae, in its sole and absolute discretion, approves any request by the Administrative Agent that a Retention of Fannie Mae Program Assets be permitted, the Administrative Agent agrees that within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Administrative Agent is entitled to commence the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Fannie Mae Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (after the expiration of any and all applicable grace and cure periods, applicable notice periods, and applicable waivers), the Administrative Agent shall seek: (A) to realize upon the Fannie Mae Collateral pursuant to one or more Enforcement Actions Respecting Fannie Mae Collateral and (B) to cause the Specified Sale of Fannie Mae Program Assets by WDLLC or WD Capital, as applicable, subject to Fannie Mae’s consent rights in accordance with the terms hereof (the specified actions in clauses (A) and (B) being referred to herein sometimes, collectively, as the “Specified Fannie Mae Enforcement Actions”); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may have an additional one hundred eighty (180) days to complete such Specified Fannie Mae Enforcement Actions (or such longer period as may be reasonably required in order to comply with any applicable Debtor Relief Law or other law, rule or regulation), if the Administrative Agent certifies to Fannie Mae that it is in the process of and is diligently working toward completion of such Specified Fannie Mae Enforcement Actions or that such additional time is necessary for compliance with such Debtor Relief Law or other law, rule or regulation (the “Fannie Mae Disposition Period”); provided further, however, that, subject to the consent rights of Fannie Mae in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent, in exercising the Specified Fannie Mae Enforcement Actions shall (other than in connection with a Retention of Fannie Mae Program Assets which has been approved by Fannie Mae) sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise divest itself of any and all of any applicable Credit Party’s Fannie Mae Program Assets over which the Administrative Agent may obtain control pursuant to such exercise of remedies (which sale, assignment, transfer or other divestment, including the terms of the transaction and the identity of the purchaser, assignee, or other recipient, including JPMorgan or any of its affiliates, if the Administrative Agent or any such affiliate desires to acquire ownership of any of the Fannie Mae Program Assets, will be subject to approval by Fannie Mae in its sole and absolute discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Fannie Mae Disposition Period shall be stayed during any time that the Administrative Agent is unable to commence or complete the specified Fannie Mae Enforcement Actions as a result of the imposition of the “automatic stay” or any similar provision of a Debtor Relief Law. None of the foregoing shall in any way limit Fannie Mae’s termination rights under the Fannie Mae Agreements, and in any event, the failure to timely complete the Specified Fannie Mae Enforcement Actions within the Fannie Mae Disposition Period (other than in connection with a Retention of Fannie Mae Program Assets which has been approved by Fannie Mae) shall be cause for termination by Fannie Mae under the applicable Fannie Mae Agreements, and no fee shall be payable by Fannie Mae with respect to any such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.01 to the contrary, as part of the Specified Sale of Fannie Mae Program Assets, as provided above, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the underlying Specified Pledged Equity Interests so long as the Administrative Agent, as part of any Specified Sale of Program Assets, shall sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise divest itself of any and all of such Credit Party’s Fannie Mae Program Assets as and when provided above (other than in connection with a Retention of Fannie Mae Program Assets by the Administrative Agent (or any designee of the Administrative Agent) which has been approved in writing by Fannie Mae); provided, however, to the extent the Administrative Agent does not timely comply with its obligations hereunder concerning any such Specified Sale of the Fannie Mae Program Assets during the Fannie Mae Disposition Period (but not otherwise), then the Administrative Agent shall be required to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Specified Pledged Equity Interests.

-47-

(ix) To the extent any amounts are received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.01, all rights of any applicable Credit Party against any other Credit Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations.

(x) For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent confirms that notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary: “Excluded Accounts” hereunder include, without limitation, all custodial, clearing, suspense, escrow, or other accounts in which WDLLC or WD Capital, respectively, deposits or holds funds received from borrowers under Fannie Mae Loans serviced by WDLLC or WD Capital, respectively, on behalf of Fannie Mae, and such Excluded Accounts are not, and shall not constitute, Collateral hereunder.

(xi) Upon the Administrative Agent’s request, each Credit Party shall provide the Administrative Agent with copies of any books and records expressly relating to Income comprising the Fannie Mae Collateral. However, for the avoidance of doubt, such books and records do not constitute Collateral hereunder, and in no event shall Fannie Mae’s access thereto be restricted in any respect.

(b) Pledged Equity Interest in WDLLC and WD Capital. With respect to the Pledged Equity Interests and related Pledged Securities (the “Specified Pledged Equity Interests”) provided to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) by: (1) W&D Multifamily with respect to WDLLC and (2) by WDLLC with respect to WD Capital (WDLLC and WD Capital, in such capacity, the “Specified Pledged Entities”), pursuant to Article 3 hereof (singly and collectively, with respect to the pledged ownership interests of such entities provided pursuant to Article 3, the “Specified Ownership Interest Pledge”), the following provisions shall be applicable:

-48-

(i) As used in this Section 8.01(b), “Credit Agreement Default” means the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement: (A) of which, except in the limited circumstance described below in this definition, the Administrative Agent has given Fannie Mae notice in accordance with Section 8.01(d), hereof (each such notice, a “Fannie Mae Notice of Default”), (B) if such Event of Default has occurred pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or (b) of the Credit Agreement, and no more than one (1) such Event of Default has occurred during the life of any Term Loan (i.e., if such an Event of Default occurs more than once, it shall be a Credit Agreement Default immediately hereunder), the Administrative Agent shall not have received payment of an amount equal to the amount the Borrower and the other Credit Parties failed to pay (including interest thereon at the rate provided in the Credit Agreement) that gave rise to such Event of Default within thirty (30) days after the applicable Fannie Mae Notice of Default, and (C) if such Event of Default has occurred under any other subsection of Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement, other than Sections 9.1(h), (i), (j) or (k) of the Credit Agreement (the occurrence of any of such Events of Default constituting a Credit Agreement Default immediately hereunder upon the giving of the applicable Fannie Mae Notice of Default, and without such Fannie Mae Notice of Default if the Event of Default is under Section 9.1(i) or (j) of the Credit Agreement), unless (x) the Administrative Agent in good faith determines that, if the Event of Default would be susceptible of cure (if such cure was permitted beyond any cure period already provided in the Credit Agreement), (y) the cure of such Event of Default as a Credit Agreement Default hereunder shall have been commenced immediately upon the giving of the applicable Fannie Mae Notice of Default and been completed with thirty (30) days of such Fannie Mae Notice of Default or, if curable in a longer period not to exceed ninety (90) days, is so cured within such ninety (90) day period and such cure has been diligently pursued since the applicable Fannie Mae Notice of Default, and (z) no more than two (2) such Events of Defaults have occurred during the life of any Term Loan (i.e., if an Event of Default occurs under any one or more subsections of Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement applicable under this clause (C) more than twice, it shall be a Credit Agreement Default immediately hereunder). Nothing herein shall be deemed to give the Borrower or any other Credit Party any grace, notice or cure periods or rights under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document other than as may already be set forth therein.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.01(a), and subject to the limitations in Section 8.01(b)(vi), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Credit Agreement Default, in its discretion and without notice to the Borrower or any other Credit Party (but with notice to, and the prior written consent of, Fannie Mae, which may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion), to transfer to or to register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Specified Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder on account of the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge; provided that if the Administrative Agent (or any designee of the Administrative Agent) has been approved in writing by Fannie Mae to acquire the Fannie Mae Program Assets as a result of any Specified Sale of Fannie Mae Program Assets pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(vi), through a Retention of Fannie Mae Program Assets or otherwise, Fannie Mae’s consent to transfer the Specified Pledged Equity to the Administrative Agent or such designee shall be deemed to have been granted. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Specified Pledged Equity Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

-49-

(iii) Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.01(a), and subject to the limitations in Section 8.01(b)(vi), upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, upon written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and the prior written consent of Fannie Mae (which may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion), all rights of W&D Multifamily and WDLLC, respectively, to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which each would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(i) hereof shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.

(iv) If the Administrative Agent takes possession of any of the Fannie Mae Program Assets following an exercise of its remedies hereunder, the Administrative Agent will at all times pending disposition as required under Section 8.01(a)(viii) above permit WDLLC and WD Capital, as applicable, to continue to perform the respective obligations of WDLLC and WD Capital, as applicable, under the Fannie Mae Agreements and to continue the operations relating to the Fannie Mae Programs substantially as conducted prior to such exercise of remedies, without material change in process, systems, or personnel at the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (A) any Mortgage Loan proposed to be delivered by WDLLC to Fannie Mae during the Fannie Mae Disposition Period will be subject to pre-review by Fannie Mae; (B) subject to the prior written consent of Fannie Mae, which consent may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion, the Administrative Agent may have an interim servicer acceptable to Fannie Mae perform such respective obligations of such Credit Party, as may be applicable, during the Fannie Mae Disposition Period; and (C) nothing herein shall require any of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party, or any applicable Credit Party to utilize its own funds or credit in connection with the foregoing.

(v) Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.01(a), and subject to the limitations in Section 8.01(b)(vi), the Borrower and each other Credit Party further acknowledge that: (A) except as expressly provided in Section 8.01(b)(ii), any change in the direct or indirect ownership of any Specified Pledged Entity is subject to the prior written consent of Fannie Mae, which consent may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion; (B) any such change that may occur without Fannie Mae’s prior written consent would constitute a breach of any Specified Pledged Entity’s Fannie Mae Agreements that could lead to termination of any Specified Pledged Entity’s participation in the Fannie Mae Programs; and (C) any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Federal Securities Laws) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, the Borrower and each other Credit Party agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Specified Pledged Equity Interest for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Federal Securities Laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.

-50-

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.01, subsequent to any approval by Fannie Mae of any sale, transfer, or other disposition (and subsequent consummation of the transactions effecting such sale, transfer, or other disposition) of: (1) the Fannie Mae Collateral on account of Enforcement Actions Respecting Fannie Mae Collateral and (2) the Specified Sale of Fannie Mae Program Assets, all subject to Fannie Mae’s consent rights, pursuant to the Specified Fannie Mae Enforcement Actions as provided herein, then, so long as the Specified Pledged Entities no longer serve as an originator or servicer under the Fannie Mae Programs and have no ongoing obligations to Fannie Mae under the Fannie Mae Agreements, no other or further consent or approval from Fannie Mae shall thereafter be required with respect to any change in ownership of any Specified Pledged Entity.

(vii) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.01 to the contrary: (A) as part of the Specified Sale of Fannie Mae Program Assets, as provided above, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the underlying Specified Pledged Equity Interests and (B) nothing in this Section 8.01 shall require any of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to utilize its own funds or credit in connection with the exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder; provided, that nothing in this clause (B) shall limit or otherwise modify or affect any duties, obligations, covenants or agreements of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party pursuant to this Section 8.01.

(c) Guaranties by WDLLC and WD Capital. With respect to the guarantees provided by WDLLC and WD Capital (singly and collectively, the “Specified Guarantors”), respectively, pursuant to Article 2 hereof (singly and collectively, the “Specified Guarantee”), the following provision shall be applicable:

(i) Without limiting the unlimited and unconditional nature of each Specified Guarantee (which shall remain unaffected by the provisions of this Section 8.01(c)), the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in exercising its rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions against Specified Guarantors, the Administrative Agent shall not seek to obtain any collateral interest in any property or other asset of any Specified Guarantor relating in any way to the Fannie Mae Loans which does not comprise the Fannie Mae Collateral and the Specified Pledged Equity Interests granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Security Document (subject to the provisions of this Section 8.01) or otherwise contrary to the provisions of Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(b) hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to modify, limit, or waive the rights, remedies, powers, privileges, or discretions of the Administrative Agent: (1) pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(b) hereof, including, without limitation, with respect to the Specified Fannie Mae Enforcement Actions or (2) with respect to any other Collateral under this Agreement not relating to the Fannie Mae Loans.

(e) Limitation of Fannie Mae’s Agency Consent. The parties hereto acknowledge that Fannie Mae’s Agency Consent is not and shall not extend to, be deemed to be or be construed as, Fannie Mae’s consent, approval, or acknowledgment to any amendment, waiver, modification, or other alteration to any of Section 7.12, Section 8.4(a), Section 9.7, the final paragraph of Section 11.1(a), the final paragraph of Section 11.2, and Section 11.25 of the Credit Agreement, or this Section 8.01 of this Agreement, or any other provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document which references or relates to such Sections, or relates to or refers to Fannie Mae, the Fannie Mae Agreements, the Fannie Mae Program, or any right, obligation or other interest of any Credit Party under any Fannie Mae Agreements, which amendments or modifications shall be subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement (including without limitation the final paragraph of Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement), and terms of the Fannie Mae Agreements.

Section 8.02 Special Freddie Mac Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision herein or any other Security Document to the contrary, and as further provided in Sections 8.4(b) and 9.8 of the Credit Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8.02 shall apply in all events with respect to: (i) the “Freddie Mac Collateral” (as defined below); (ii) the Specified Pledged Equity Interests and the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge thereof; (iii) the Specified Guarantee; and (iv) any other terms, conditions, notice requirements, limitations, covenants, and agreements with respect to the Freddie Mac Security Interest (as defined below). In providing its Agency Consent, it is hereby acknowledged that Freddie Mac is relying, and such Agency Consent by Freddie Mac is expressly conditioned, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.02 and in Sections 7.12, 8.4(b), and 9.8 of the Credit Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) and each Credit Party expressly acknowledge and agree as follows:

-52-

(a) Freddie Mac Security Interest in Freddie Mac Collateral.

(i) Each Credit Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Freddie Mac Security Interest”) in the following (the “Freddie Mac Collateral”) to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations: all servicing Income (including, without limitation, Ancillary Income and Servicing Fees) actually received, respectively, by such Credit Party with respect to the Freddie Mac Loans (the “Freddie Mac Designated Loans”) serviced at any time and from time to time under the respective Freddie Mac Servicing Contracts, together with any other Income received on account of payments made by a third party (other than Freddie Mac) thereunder (except to the extent that any such Income is required by contract or Applicable Law to be transferred or applied by such Credit Party to or for the benefit of any other Person). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, but not in limitation of the specified Income constituting the Freddie Mac Collateral, the Freddie Mac Collateral shall not include, and no Credit Party shall grant, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall take or receive, any Lien on any Credit Party’s right, title or interest in or to any of the following: (i) any MSR Assets in respect of, arising from or relating to any Collateral Transaction Document or Servicing Contract that is a Freddie Mac Agreement; (ii) any Contract or Contract Rights consisting of, arising from or relating to any Freddie Mac Agreement; (iii) any Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, any promissory note with respect thereto or any mortgaged property or other collateral therefor) that has been sold, transferred, committed, or pledged to or on behalf of Freddie Mac pursuant to any Freddie Mac Agreement; (iv) any Income related to any Freddie Mac Agreement or any Freddie Mac Loans other than (x) servicing Income (including, without limitation, Ancillary Income and Servicing Fees) arising from or related to any Freddie Mac Agreement or any Freddie Mac Loans or (y) Income received on account of payments made by a third party (other than Freddie Mac) thereunder (except to the extent that any such Income is required by contract or Applicable Law to be transferred or applied by such Credit Party to or for the benefit of any other Person); (v) books and records pertaining to any of the foregoing; (vi) any “accounts,” “chattel paper,” “commercial tort claims,” “documents,” “equipment,” “general intangibles,” “goods,” “instruments,” “inventory,” “investment property,” “letter of credit rights,” or “securities accounts” (as each of those terms is defined in the UCC) related to any of the foregoing items (i) through (v); and (vii) any other assets or properties now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by any Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party that relate in any respect to the foregoing items (i) through (vi), (clauses (i) through (vii), collectively, the “Excluded Freddie Mac-Related Assets”). None of the Excluded Freddie Mac-Related Assets shall constitute Collateral hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of any of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that all servicing rights pursuant to the Freddie Mac Servicing Contracts are property solely of Freddie Mac and are not the property of any Credit Party, and are not included within the Collateral hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Freddie Mac Collateral is subject and subordinate to all rights, remedies, powers and prerogatives of Freddie Mac under all Freddie Mac Agreements, including, without limitation, Freddie Mac’s right to terminate Credit Party’s selling and servicing rights with respect to the Freddie Mac Designated Loans as provided in the respective Freddie Mac Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent acknowledges that its security interest is subject to the rights of Freddie Mac under the Freddie Mac Agreements, and further acknowledges that Freddie Mac must approve the Administrative Agent’s security interest (with such approval, to the extent required by the terms hereof, being given by Freddie Mac in the Agency Consent provided by Freddie Mac to the Administrative Agent on or about the Closing Date).

(ii) Each Credit Party authorizes the Administrative Agent to file such financing statements as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to perfect the Freddie Mac Security Interest in the Freddie Mac Collateral.

-53-

(iii) Subject to Section 8.02(a)(i), each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) the Administrative Agent, or its delegate, as the attorney in fact of each such Credit Party, with the right (but not the duty) from time to time, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (1) create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file, in the name and on behalf of such Credit Party, any and all instruments, documents, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by such Credit Party under this Section 8.02(a)(iii); (2) convert the Freddie Mac Collateral into cash, including, without limitation, through the sale (either public or private) of all or any portion or portions of the Freddie Mac Collateral (but not any of any of the Excluded Freddie Mac-Related Assets); (3) enforce collection of the Freddie Mac Collateral, either in its own name or in the name of any applicable Credit Party, including, without limitation, executing releases and prosecuting, defending, compromising or releasing any action relating to the Freddie Mac Collateral; (4) take such other actions as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable in order to continue the perfection and priority of its security interest or to realize upon the Freddie Mac Collateral (the foregoing acts, remedies, and powers being referred to herein sometimes, singly and collectively, as “Enforcement Actions Respecting Freddie Mac Collateral”); and (5) to cause any applicable Credit Party to undertake and effect any Specified Sale of the Freddie Mac Program Assets as and when expressly provided under Section 8.02(b)(iv) below. The Administrative Agent shall not be obliged to do any of the acts or exercise any of the powers hereinabove authorized, but if the Administrative Agent elects to do any such act or exercise any such power, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and it shall not be responsible to any Credit Party or any other Person except for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or actual bad faith.

(iv) Except in the case of a complete disposition of the Freddie Mac Agreements pursuant to a Specified Sale of Freddie Mac Program Assets that is expressly permitted under Section 8.02(b)(iv) hereof (and except for the Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Freddie Mac Collateral), neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall cause WDLLC or WD Capital to sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of WDLLC or WD Capital’s respective rights, duties or obligations under, in or with respect to any of the Freddie Mac Agreements (including, without limitation, any servicing rights thereunder). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party has any right to service any Freddie Mac Loans or affect the manner in which WDLLC or WD Capital services any Freddie Mac Loans. Without limitation of the foregoing, so long as WDLLC and/or WD Capital is a servicer of Freddie Mac Loans, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall take any action that impedes WDLLC or WD Capital from performing its respective servicing obligations with respect to such loans in strict compliance with the requirements under the Guide and all other applicable Freddie Mac Agreements. If the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exercises any rights or remedies with respect to any assets or properties of any Credit Party included within the Collateral (including, without limitation, any rights of a secured party to take possession of or sell any such assets or properties), unless and until there has been a complete disposition of the Freddie Mac Agreements pursuant to a Specified Sale of Freddie Mac Program Assets that is expressly permitted under Section 8.02(b)(iv) hereof, in exercising such rights and remedies, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured party will take any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent WDLLC or WD Capital from continuing to perform its respective obligations under the Guide and the other Freddie Mac Agreements and continuing its respective operations relating thereto substantially as conducted prior to such exercise of remedies, without material change in processes, systems, or personnel in a manner that is reasonably likely to (i) have a material adverse effect on the performance by WDLLC or WD Capital of any of its respective duties or obligations under the Guide or any other Freddie Mac Agreement (including, without limitation, any duties and obligations with respect to servicing of Freddie Mac Loans) or (ii) cause WDLLC or WD Capital not to be an eligible Seller/Servicer under the Guide. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of any of the foregoing, Freddie Mac shall have no obligation to comply with any directions of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or to alter in any way servicing requirements, flows of funds, or accounting of servicing. WDLLC and WD Capital shall not, and not permit WDLLC or WD Capital to, pledge (or, except as may be expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, enter into (or agree to enter into) a Negative Pledge respecting) any of its respective servicing rights with respect to any of the Freddie Mac Loans to any other Person.

-54-

(v) If Freddie Mac terminates any Credit Party’s respective servicing rights with respect to the Freddie Mac Designated Loans, the grant of the Freddie Mac Security Interest by such Credit Party hereunder will terminate automatically, and the Administrative Agent will release its Lien created by such Freddie Mac Security Interest and execute and file all necessary documents to reflect such release; provided, however, that no such termination (and no such release) shall relate to, or otherwise affect, (A) the Freddie Mac Security Interest granted by any other Credit Party or (B) the Freddie Mac Security Interest respecting Freddie Mac Collateral comprised of servicing Income then accrued or otherwise earned by such Credit Party through the date that Freddie Mac provides written notice to the Administrative Agent that such servicing rights of such Credit Party shall have been so terminated with respect to such Freddie Mac Designated Loans (which accrued and earned servicing Income shall in all events remain Freddie Mac Collateral), with such termination (and such release) relating only to servicing Income accruing or otherwise earned by such Credit Party from and after the date of such written notice of termination to the Administrative Agent.

(vii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default for thirty (30) days or more, the Administrative Agent or its designee is entitled to receive and collect all sums payable to any applicable Credit Party in respect of the Freddie Mac Collateral, and, in such case: (A) the Administrative Agent or its designee in its discretion may, in its own name, in the name of such Credit Party, or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Freddie Mac Collateral, but the Administrative Agent has no obligation to do so, (B) such Credit Party must, if the Administrative Agent requests it to do so, hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and immediately pay to the Administrative Agent at its office designated by notice, all amounts received by such Credit Party upon or in respect of any of the Freddie Mac Collateral, advising the Administrative Agent as to the source of those funds, and (C) all amounts so received and collected by the Administrative Agent will be held by it as part of the Freddie Mac Collateral.

(viii) To the extent any amounts are received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, all rights any applicable Credit Party against any other Credit Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations.

(ix) For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of the definition of “Excluded Freddie Mac-Related Assets,” the Administrative Agent confirms that, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary: “Excluded Accounts” hereunder include, without limitation, all custodial, clearing, suspense, escrow, or other accounts in which WDLLC or WD Capital, respectively, or any Affiliate of WDLLC or WD Capital deposits or holds funds received from borrowers under Freddie Mac Loans serviced by WDLLC or WD Capital, respectively, on behalf of Freddie Mac and any funds held in such accounts, and such Excluded Accounts are not, and shall not constitute, Collateral hereunder.

(x) Upon the Administrative Agent’s request, each Credit Party shall provide the Administrative Agent with copies of any book and records expressly relating to Income comprising the Freddie Mac Collateral. However, for the avoidance of doubt, such books and records do not constitute Collateral hereunder, and in no event shall Freddie Mac’s access thereto be restricted in any respect.

-55-

(b) Specified Pledged Equity Interest in WDLLC and WD Capital. With respect to the Specified Pledged Equity Interests and the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge thereof, the following provisions shall be applicable:

(i) As used in this Section 8.02(b), “Credit Agreement Default” means the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement: (A) of which, except in the limited circumstance described below in this definition, the Administrative Agent has given Freddie Mac notice in accordance with Section 8.02(e) hereof (each such notice, a “Freddie Mac Notice of Default”), (B) if such Event of Default has occurred pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or (b) of the Credit Agreement, and no more than one (1) such Event of Default has occurred during the life of any Term Loan (i.e., if such an Event of Default occurs more than once, it shall be a Credit Agreement Default immediately hereunder), the Administrative Agent shall not have received payment of an amount equal to the amount the Borrower and the other Credit Parties failed to pay (including interest thereon at the rate provided in the Credit Agreement) that gave rise to such Event of Default within thirty (30) days after the applicable Freddie Mac Notice of Default, and (C) if such Event of Default has occurred under any other subsection of Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement, other than Sections 9.1(h), (i), (j) or (k) of the Credit Agreement (the occurrence of any of such Events of Default constituting a Credit Agreement Default immediately hereunder upon the giving of the applicable Freddie Mac Notice of Default, and without such Freddie Mac Notice of Default if the Event of Default is under Section 9.1(i) or (j) of the Credit Agreement), unless (x) the Administrative Agent in good faith determines that, if the Event of Default would be susceptible of cure (if such cure was permitted beyond any cure period already provided in the Credit Agreement), (y) the cure of such Event of Default as a Credit Agreement Default hereunder shall have been commenced immediately upon the giving of the applicable Freddie Mac Notice of Default and been completed with thirty (30) days of such Freddie Mac Notice of Default or, if curable in a longer period not to exceed ninety (90) days, is so cured within such ninety (90) day period and such cure has been diligently pursued since the applicable Freddie Mac Notice of Default, and (z) no more than two (2) such Events of Default have occurred during the life of any Term Loan (i.e., if an Event of Default occurs under any one or more subsections of Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement applicable under this clause (C) more than twice, it shall be a Credit Agreement Default immediately hereunder). Nothing herein shall be deemed to give the Borrower or any other Credit Party any grace, notice or cure periods or rights under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document other than as may already be set forth therein.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.02(a), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Credit Agreement Default, in its discretion and without notice to the Borrower or any other Credit Party (but with notice to Freddie Mac), to transfer to or to register in the name of the Administrative Agent any or all of the Specified Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder on account of the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge; provided, that no such transfer or registration of Specified Pledged Equity Interests to or in name of the Administrative Agent may occur without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac (which consent may be granted or withheld in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion); provided, further, that if the Administrative Agent (or any designee of the Administrative Agent) has been approved in writing by Freddie Mac to acquire the Freddie Mac Program Assets as a result of any Specified Sale of Freddie Mac Program Assets pursuant to Section 8.02(b)(iv), through a Retention of Freddie Mac Program Assets or otherwise, Freddie Mac’s consent to transfer the Specified Pledged Equity to the Administrative Agent or such designee shall be deemed to have been granted. At any time following a transfer or registration of Specified Pledged Equity Interests to or in name of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Specified Pledged Equity Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Credit Agreement Default, upon written notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and to Freddie Mac, all rights of W&D Multifamily and WDLLC, respectively, to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which each would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(i) hereof shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any such voting or other consensual rights without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac (which consent may be granted or withheld in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion).

-56-

(iv) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Credit Agreement Default, irrespective of whether any Specified Pledged Equity Interests have been transferred to or registered in the name of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02(b)(ii) hereof, the Administrative Agent may cause any applicable Credit Party to (A) retain a nationally recognized firm that specializes in the sale of Freddie Mac selling and servicing rights and other assets that are used in or related to any Freddie Mac Program (collectively the “Freddie Mac Program Assets”) (which firm must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (B) sell, transfer, or otherwise assign all of its respective rights, obligations, duties, and interests in and under the Freddie Mac Agreements to one or more then-current Freddie Mac Seller/Servicers within sixty (60) days of such notice from the Administrative Agent (with the actions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of this clause (iv) being referred to herein as the “Specified Sale of Freddie Mac Program Assets”); provided, however, that no such Specified Sale of Freddie Mac Program Assets may occur without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac (which consent may be granted or withheld in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion); and provided, further, that, to the extent any of the Freddie Mac Agreements includes parties in addition to a Credit Party and Freddie Mac, any Specified Sale of Freddie Mac Program Assets, including any servicing rights, remains subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions of such Freddie Mac Agreements and any other approvals required thereunder. Subject at all times to the consent rights of Freddie Mac in accordance with the terms hereof, JPMorgan (or any designee of JPMorgan approved in writing by Freddie Mac in its sole discretion) may seek approval from Freddie Mac: (i) to acquire Freddie Mac Program Assets as a result of any Specified Sale of Freddie Mac Program Assets and/or (ii) in connection with the realization of the Specified Pledged Equity Interests under the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge, to cause any applicable Credit Party to retain its respective Freddie Mac Program Assets as further provided in Section 8.02(b)(ii) (collectively, as may be applicable, “Retention of Freddie Mac Program Assets”).

(v) Other than a transfer to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 8.02(b)(ii) or 8.02(b)(iv) hereof, no sale, assignment or other transfer of any Specified Pledged Equity Interests to any Person (including, without limitation, any sale, assignment or other transfer thereof by the Administrative Agent to any other Person following the Administrative Agent’s acquisition thereof in accordance with Section 8.02(b)(ii) or 8.02(b)(iv) hereof) may occur without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac, which consent may be granted or withheld in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion.

(vi) Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledge that: (i) any private sales of Specified Pledged Equity Interests (or otherwise on account of any Specified Sale of Freddie Mac Program Assets) may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Federal Securities Laws) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, the Borrower and each other Credit Party agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Specified Pledged Equity Interest for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Federal Securities Laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.

(f) As further provided in Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement and in Section 4.06(c) hereof, and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall prohibit or otherwise limit any Credit Party from (i) amending, restating, supplementing, modifying or waiving any default by an underlying obligor or related to the servicing of an underlying mortgage loan under any Collateral Transaction Document if such prohibition or limitation could have a material adverse effect on the performance by any Credit Party of any of its duties or obligations under any of the Freddie Mac Agreements (including, without limitation, any duties and obligations with respect to servicing of Freddie Mac Loans); or (ii) consenting to or otherwise effecting or implementing any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to or of any Freddie Mac Agreement consistent with modifications generally applicable to the Freddie Mac Agreements or to a Freddie Mac Seller/Servicer, if such amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification is required or requested by Freddie Mac.

Section 8.03 Special Ginnie Mae Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision herein or any other Security Document to the contrary, and as further provided in Sections 8.4(c) and 9.9 of the Credit Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8.03 shall apply in all events with respect to: (i) the “Ginnie Mae Collateral”; and (ii) the other terms, conditions, notice requirements, limitations, and agreements with respect to the Ginnie Mae Security Interests granted to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the “Ginnie Mae Collateral” relating to the “Ginnie Mae Designated Loans” under this Agreement and/or any other Security Document (as each of such quoted terms is defined below). In providing the Ginnie Mae Acknowledgment letter, it is hereby acknowledged that Ginnie Mae is relying upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.03 and in Sections 7.12, 8.4(c), and 9.9 of the Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 8.03 and the provisions of any other Loan Document or any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8.03 shall control. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) and each Credit Party expressly acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding anything contained herein, with regard to the mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing income for all Ginnie Mae Mortgage Loans, the following provisions shall apply and all other provisions contained herein shall be subject to and subordinate to these.

(a) Each Credit Party hereby grants the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Ginnie Mae Security Interest”) in the following (the “Ginnie Mae Collateral”) to secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations: all servicing Income (including, without limitation, Ancillary Income and Servicing Fees) actually received by any Credit Party with respect to the Mortgage Loans (the “Ginnie Mae Designated Loans”) serviced at any time and from time to time under the Ginnie Mae Agreements, together with other Income received on account of payments made by a third party (other than Ginnie Mae) thereunder minus the Ginnie Mae guarantee fee and minus all required payments to all investors of the applicable mortgage-backed securities that the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans are securing, all as and to the extent provided in the Ginnie Mae Agreements. Specifically, Ginnie Mae Collateral does not include (i) the Ginnie Mae Agreements, (ii) MSR Assets related to the Ginnie Mae Agreements, or any other income related to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans, or (iii) the escrow accounts relating to those Ginnie Mae Designated Loans or any payments held in a clearing account made pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans. For avoidance of doubt, the Borrower is entitled to servicing Income only as so long as it maintains Issuer status (as defined in the Ginnie Mae Guide), upon such loss the Secured Parties’ rights to any servicing Income also terminate, and the pledge or other encumbrance of rights to servicing Income conveys no rights (such as a right to become a substitute servicer or Issuer (as defined in the Ginnie Mae Guide)) that is not specifically provided for in the Ginnie Mae Guide. Any security interest of the Administrative Agent and any that any other party hereto shall have in the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans is expressly subject and subordinate to all rights, remedies, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae under the Ginnie Mae Guaranty Agreement, the Ginnie Mae Guide, and all other Ginnie Mae Agreements or contracts, including Ginnie Mae’s right to terminate the Ginnie Mae issuer’s rights with respect to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans as provided in the Ginnie Mae Agreements and as further provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent acknowledges that its security interest and any rights that it shall have under the Credit Agreement and/or this Agreement is subject to the rights of Ginnie Mae under the Ginnie Mae Guaranty Agreements, the Ginnie Mae Guides, and other Ginnie Mae Agreements, as applicable, including without limitation, Ginnie Mae’s right to extinguish any interest of the applicable Credit Parties in the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans without compensation or offset and within Ginnie Mae’s absolute and sole discretion.

-59-

(b) Each Credit Party authorizes the Administrative Agent to file such financing statements as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to perfect the Ginnie Mae Security Interest in the Ginnie Mae Collateral. Each Credit Party represents, warrants and covenants that (1) pursuant to the Ginnie Mae Guide and Applicable Law, an Agency Consent or other agreement acknowledging and consenting to the Term Loan or entering into the Term Loan Facility on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and the other Loan Documents is not required with respect to any Ginnie Mae Agreement, (2) it will notify its Account Executive (as defined in the Ginnie Mae Guide) about this transaction via email no later than 15 Business Days after the date hereof and (3) as of the date hereof, no mortgages relating to any Ginnie Mae Agreement are registered with MERS (as defined in the Ginnie Mae Guide) and it will provide prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent in the event any mortgages relating to any Ginnie Mae Agreement are registered with MERS and shall cause MERS to enter the pledge on the MERS system and will obtain any necessary approvals of Ginnie Mae with respect thereto.

(c) To the extent that Ginnie Mae Designated Loans remain subject to the Ginnie Mae Agreements, the applicable Credit Party will remain the servicer of the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans and will continue to service the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans in accordance with Ginnie Mae requirements. Such Credit Party shall not pledge (or, except as may be expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, enter into (or agree to enter into) any Negative Pledge respecting) any of its servicing rights with respect to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent has no right to service the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans or affect the manner in which any applicable Credit Party services the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans. If Ginnie Mae terminates any Credit Party’s servicing rights with respect to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans, this pledge will terminate automatically as to the Ginnie Mae Collateral granted by such Credit Party, and the Administrative Agent will release its Lien created by such pledge and execute and file all necessary documents to reflect such release; provided, however, that no such termination (and no such release) shall relate to, or otherwise affect, (A) the Ginnie Mae Security Interest granted by any other Credit Party or (B) the Ginnie Mae Security Interest respecting Ginnie Mae Collateral comprised of servicing Income then accrued or otherwise earned by such Credit Party through the date that Ginnie Mae so terminates the servicing rights of such Credit Party with respect to such Ginnie Mae Designated Loans (which accrued and earned servicing Income through such date of termination by Ginnie Mae shall in all events remain Ginnie Mae Collateral), with such termination (and such release) relating only to servicing Income accruing or otherwise earned by such Credit Party from the date of such termination by Ginnie Mae. The Credit Parties shall provide the Administrative Agent with immediate written notice of any such termination by Ginnie Mae but the Credit Parties’ failure to do so shall not affect the terms of this paragraph or Ginnie Mae’s rights with respect to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default for thirty (30) days or more, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights under Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement, Article 5 hereof, and this Section 8.03, the Administrative Agent may: (i) direct that all servicing fees (minus the Ginnie Mae guarantee fee and minus all required payments to all investors of the applicable mortgage-backed securities that the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans are securing) made payable to any Credit Party with respect to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans be deposited into lockbox accounts held by the Administrative Agent; (ii) in its own name, in the name of such Credit Party or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Ginnie Mae Collateral, but the Administrative Agent has no obligation to do so; (iii) by written notice to such Credit Party, direct any Credit Party to sell the servicing rights to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans (in which event such Credit Party shall (x) retain a nationally recognized firm that specializes in the sale of Ginnie Mae servicing rights (collectively, the “Ginnie Mae Program Assets”) (which firm must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (y) sell the servicing rights to the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans to another Ginnie Mae lender/servicer within sixty (60) days of such notice from the Administrative Agent) (with the actions set forth in this clause (iii) being referred to herein as the “Specified Sale of Ginnie Mae Program Assets”); and (iv) exercise and enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to the Administrative Agent under the UCC, at law or in equity. Any sale of the Ginnie Mae Collateral must and shall be subject to Ginnie Mae’s written approval. All proceeds of such sale will be applied first to the expenses of the sale, then to any amounts due to Ginnie Mae from such Credit Party under the Servicing Contracts sold, and then to the outstanding balance of the Secured Obligations (as provided in Section 9.4 of the Credit Agreement), with any remaining balance remitted to the Borrower. Ginnie Mae shall have no obligation to comply with any directions of the Administrative Agent or to alter in any way servicing requirements, flows of funds, or accounting of servicing of the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans. Subject at all times to the consent rights of Ginnie Mae in accordance with the terms hereof, JPMorgan (or any designee of JPMorgan approved in writing by Ginnie Mae in its sole discretion) may seek approval from Ginnie Mae to acquire Ginnie Mae Program Assets as a result of any Specified Sale of Ginnie Mae Program Assets.

-60-

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default for thirty (30) days or more, the Administrative Agent or its designee is entitled to receive and collect all sums payable to any applicable Credit Party in respect of the Ginnie Mae Collateral, and, in such case (i) the Administrative Agent or its designee in its discretion may, in its own name, in the name of such Credit Party or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Ginnie Mae Collateral, but the Administrative Agent has no obligation to do so, (ii) such Credit Party must, if the Administrative Agent requests it to do so, hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and immediately pay to the Administrative Agent at its office designated by notice, all amounts received by such Credit Party upon or in respect of any of the Ginnie Mae Collateral, advising the Administrative Agent as to the source of those funds and (iii) all amounts so received and collected by the Administrative Agent will be held by it as part of the Ginnie Mae Collateral.

(g) To the extent any amounts are received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.03, all rights of any applicable Credit Party against any other Credit Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.03 to the contrary, nothing in this Section 8.03 shall require any of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to utilize its own funds or credit in connection with the exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder; provided, that nothing in this clause (h) shall limit or otherwise modify or affect any duties, obligations, covenants or agreements of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party pursuant to this Section 8.03.

(i) Notices and copies required by this Section 8.03 to be delivered to Ginnie Mae pursuant to the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and any other applicable Loan Document shall be delivered to Ginnie Mae at the following address:

(j) Each of the Administrative Agent, and each Credit Party acknowledge that the Ginnie Mae Designated Loans remain the property of Ginnie Mae and the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party agree that no loan data containing personally identifiable information shall be released to any third party pursuant to Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement or any other Section hereunder or thereunder, or pursuant to any subpoena or court order, without the express written consent of Ginnie Mae.

A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2021 (as amended, amended and restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent.

B. Capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined in this Supplement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and to the extent not defined in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement referred to therein.

C. The Credit Parties have entered into the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Term Loans.

D. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement provides that certain additional Subsidiaries shall become Credit Parties under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to maintain the Term Loans.

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary, by its signature below, hereby joins in the execution and delivery of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and hereby becomes a Credit Party and a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Credit Party and a Subsidiary Guarantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Credit Party and Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder, including, without limitation, the guarantee by New Subsidiary, jointly and severally with the other Subsidiary Guarantors, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to the Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Credit Party and Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or “Credit Party” in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated in this Supplement by reference.

Exhibit I-1

SECTION 2 The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 3 This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

The New Subsidiary hereby further represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, Schedule I hereto accurately sets forth all information which would have been required pursuant to the Schedules to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement had the New Subsidiary been a Credit Party on the date of the execution and delivery of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (it being understood and agreed, however, that the information so furnished by the New Subsidiary is accurate as of the date of this Supplement rather than the date of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

SECTION 5 This Supplement will be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of: (A) a duly executed copy hereof and (b) each other document required by Section 6.14(a) of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 6 Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 8 Any provision of this Supplement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof and in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9 All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

SECTION 10 The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Fannie Mae Contracts or Fannie Mae Guide, as applicable, provided that if such a term is not defined in the Fannie Mae Contracts or Fannie Mae Guide it shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Approved Drafts.

Walker & Dunlop, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“W&D”) as the “Borrower”, and WDLLC, WD Capital, and certain affiliates thereof, as “Guarantors”, entered into an amended and restated term loan credit facility dated as of November 7, 2018 with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, collateral agent and lender, in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Facility”). It is proposed that on or about the date hereof, W&D, as “Borrower”, and certain affiliates thereof, as “Guarantors”, will enter into a new term loan credit facility (the “New Term Facility”) with certain financial institutions as lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, “Agent”), in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000. In addition to refinancing the Existing Facility, the proceeds from the New Term Facility will be used, among other things, (i) to finance a portion of the consideration for the Alliant Acquisition (as defined in the credit agreement, dated on or about the date hereof, governing the New Term Facility (the “Credit Agreement”)) and (ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with such refinancing, in connection with such acquisition and in connection with the New Term Facility.

W&D, a publicly traded company, owns 100% of the equity interests in Walker & Dunlop Multifamily, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WD Multifamily”), which owns 100% of the equity interest in WDLLC, which owns 100% of the equity interest in WD Capital (WD Multifamily, WDLLC and WD Capital, collectively, the “Obligor Group”). The New Term Facility will be evidenced and secured by, among other instruments, documents, and agreements, the “Credit Agreement” and the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement” (so referred to herein) described in Schedule 3 hereto. Each of W&D and the Obligor Group will execute and deliver, among other things, the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in connection with the New Term Facility.

W&D and the Obligor Group (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) request that Fannie Mae consent to the Loan Parties’ entering into the New Term Facility on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and any other documents identified on Schedule 3 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which were provided in draft form by WDLLC to Fannie Mae (collectively, the “Approved Drafts”) (such consent, if any, the “Fannie Mae Consent”).

Agent and Loan Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that Fannie Mae, in providing the Fannie Mae Consent hereunder, is relying fully, and such Fannie Mae Consent is expressly conditioned, upon the compliance by Agent and Loan Parties (“Compliance with Specified Fannie Mae Provisions”) with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and in Section 7.12, Section 8.4(a), Section 9.7, the final paragraph of Section 11.1(a), the final paragraph of Section 11.2, and Section 11.25 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Specified Fannie Mae Provisions”). All of the Specified Fannie Mae Provisions (including all applicable sectional and definitional references therein) are specifically incorporated herein by reference, including, without limitation, with respect to all agreements, limitations, restrictions applicable to Agent and Loan Parties, respectively, and the consent rights of Fannie Mae applicable with respect to the Fannie Mae Collateral, the Specified Pledged Equity Interests, and/or the Specified Sale of Fannie Mae Program Assets, all as and when expressly provided in accordance with the Specified Fannie Mae Provisions. In the absence of the Fannie Mae Consent, the granting by Loan Parties of the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge in the Specified Pledged Entities (which could result in a change of the ownership structure of WDLLC or WD Capital if Agent exercises its default remedies under the New Term Facility) could constitute a breach of the applicable Fannie Mae Contracts; provided, however, any change of ownership in the Specified Pledged Entities based upon defaults under the New Term Facility is and shall remain subject to the prior written consent of Fannie Mae (which may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion), as further set forth in the Fannie Mae Provisions, and the Fannie Mae Consent does not extend to any such future transfer.

Accordingly, in consideration of Fannie Mae’s providing the Fannie Mae Consent hereunder, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as follows:

A. Agent Agreements. In consideration of Fannie Mae’s entering into this Agreement and providing the Fannie Mae Consent, Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. The grant of the security interest in certain assets of WDLLC and WD Capital to Agent to secure W&D’s obligations under the New Term Facility and the pledge of certain equity interests in WDLLC and WD Capital to secure W&D’s obligations under the New Term Facility are each subject and subordinate to Fannie Mae’s rights under the Fannie Mae Contracts, including, without limitation, Fannie Mae’s right to consent to changes in the ownership of WDLLC or WD Capital, as applicable, and Fannie Mae’s right to terminate the Fannie Mae Contracts as set forth therein. Such termination rights of Fannie Mae shall include, without limitation, termination upon expiration of any Fannie Mae Disposition Period, and no termination fee shall be payable by Fannie Mae in connection with any such termination. The existence of any Fannie Mae Disposition Period shall be construed, for all purposes, as a material adverse change (or any other term(s) of similar import in the Fannie Mae Contracts) in WDLLC’s or WD Capital’s ability to satisfactorily service mortgages for all purposes or as set forth under any of the Fannie Mae Contracts.

2. Upon the execution and delivery of the Facility Documents (defined below) in connection with the establishment of the New Term Facility, Agent: (i) ratifies, confirms, and reaffirms in favor of Fannie Mae the Specified Fannie Mae Provisions; (ii) acknowledges and agrees that Loan Parties’ grant, and Agent’s acceptance, of the respective pledge and security interests in the Fannie Mae Collateral and Specified Pledged Equity Interests is strictly in accordance with the Specified Fannie Mae Provisions; (iii) in exercising its rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Facility Document, Agent shall act in Compliance with Specified Fannie Mae Provisions; and (iv) without first obtaining Fannie Mae’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion), Agent shall not modify or permit modification of (a) any of the Specified Fannie Mae Provisions; or (b) any other provision in the Facility Documents that in any way would modify terms applicable to Fannie Mae or the Fannie Mae Collateral or the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge or the Fannie Mae Contracts or that could reasonably be expected to have or result in a material adverse effect on Fannie Mae and/or the obligations of the applicable Loan Parties under any of the Fannie Mae Contracts.

3. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, Agent may perform or cause the Loan Parties to perform under the Fannie Mae Contracts during the Fannie Mae Disposition Period; provided, however, that the financial institution acting as Agent shall, to the extent applicable, maintain strict separation of operations and confidentiality of information in its capacity as Agent and as a Fannie Mae lender during such Fannie Mae Disposition Period.

4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent shall have no liability to Fannie Mae for any of the obligations of the Loan Parties, including, without limitation, the respective liabilities of the Loan Parties under the Fannie Mae Contracts.

5. Agent hereby represents and warrants to Fannie Mae that (a) it has power and authority to enter into this Agreement in its capacity as Agent; (b) it has duly authorized, executed and delivered this Agreement; (c) it is authorized to, and, by its execution and delivery hereof, does hereby bind any other lender now or hereafter party to the New Term Facility; (d) no consent, approval, authorization, order, or other action of, any court or regulatory or governmental agency or body or any other person is required that has not been obtained for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (e) each person who is a “Lender” from time to time under the New Term Facility, and any successor “Agent” thereunder, shall be bound by this Agreement.

B. Loan Party Agreements. In consideration of Fannie Mae’s entering into this Agreement and providing the Fannie Mae Consent, the Loan Parties jointly and severally agree as follows:

1. The Loan Parties shall not modify or permit modification of any of the Approved Drafts prior to execution by the parties thereto without first obtaining Fannie Mae’s prior written consent to such modification (which may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion). Following execution of documents in the forms of the Approved Drafts (as so executed, the “Facility Documents”), without the prior written consent of Fannie Mae (which may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion) the Loan Parties shall not modify or permit the modification of (a) any of the Specified Fannie Mae Provisions; or (b) any other provision in the Facility Documents that in any way would modify terms applicable to Fannie Mae or the Fannie Mae Collateral or the Specified Ownership Interest Pledge or the Fannie Mae Contracts or that could reasonably be expected to have or result in a material adverse effect on Fannie Mae or the obligations of the applicable Loan Parties under any of the Fannie Mae Contracts. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to Fannie Mae that the Facility Documents delivered to Fannie Mae are each true, correct and complete, and there are no documents, instruments or other agreements with respect to the New Term Facility, other than those as delivered by the Loan Parties to Fannie Mae.

2. Without the prior written consent of Fannie Mae (which may be granted or withheld in Fannie Mae’s sole and absolute discretion), the Loan Parties shall not exercise their right to elect to request an Incremental Term Loan pursuant to Section 3.13 of the Credit Agreement in an amount greater than $230,000,000 (with respect to each individual loan or in the aggregate).

3. In the event of a Mandatory Prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties must immediately notify Fannie Mae in writing. Such notice shall also include the sources of the Mandatory Prepayment amount and the levels of the cash that would be subject to the distribution. WDLLC acknowledges that its required operational liquidity under the WDLLC Fannie Mae Contracts may be increased above the minimum level, insuring adequate liquidity.

4. The Loan Parties will deliver to Fannie Mae, within the times specified in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Credit Agreement, copies of the annual and quarterly financial statements, reports and Compliance Certificates of the Loan Parties required to be delivered to Agent pursuant those sections.

5. The Loan Parties shall deliver to Fannie Mae a copy of any default or other material notice delivered by Agent to any of the Loan Parties pursuant to the Facility Documents.

6. Each of the Loan Parties hereby represents and warrants to Fannie Mae that (a) it has power and authority to enter into this Agreement; (b) it has duly authorized, executed and delivered this Agreement; (c) no consent, approval, authorization, order, or other action of, any court or regulatory or governmental agency or body or any other person is required that has not been obtained for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (d) the closing and consummation of the New Term Facility have occurred as of the date hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof; and (e) a true, correct and complete organizational chart of the Loan Parties and related entities has been delivered to Fannie Mae and the same is attached hereto as Schedule 4.

C. Notices to Fannie Mae. Notices and copies required by this Agreement or under the Facility Documents shall be delivered to Fannie Mae at the following address:

Re:

Pledge of Ownership Interests and Servicing Income – Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

Dear Mr. Lucas:

Freddie Mac has received your request that we consent to a pledge by Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (“Credit Facility Borrower”) of 100% of its ownership interests in certain subsidiaries, including Walker & Dunlop, LLC (“Seller/Servicer”), and of the servicing income of Seller/Servicer (the “Pledge”). Credit Facility Borrower is the sole member of Seller/Servicer. The Pledge will be made in connection with a senior secured term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”) that Credit Facility Borrower intends to enter into with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent on behalf of a syndicate of financial institutions and other entities (“Secured Party”).

This letter confirms Freddie Mac’s consent to the Pledge, which is given in reliance on the certifications provided by Credit Facility Borrower and Seller/Servicer in Section B below, and is subject to such certifications and the other assumptions, conditions, and limitations contained in this letter. For purposes of Freddie Mac’s consent to the Pledge, such consent will be deemed effective as of the transaction closing date, which is anticipated to be November 17, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). All terms used but not defined in this approval letter will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Freddie Mac Multifamily Seller/Servicer Guide (the “Guide”).

Background.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Multifamily Selling and Servicing Agreement dated November 1, 2012 (together with the Guide and any other agreements between Seller/Servicer and Freddie Mac, the “Freddie Mac Contracts”), Seller/Servicer is an approved Freddie Mac Multifamily Seller/Servicer.

Credit Facility Borrower is the sole member of Seller/Servicer. Credit Facility Borrower is entering into the Credit Facility with Secured Party. Secured Party is requiring, among other things, the Pledge as collateral for the Credit Facility.

Assumptions, Representations, and Warranties.

Freddie Mac’s consent to the Pledge is based on the following information. By its acknowledgment of this letter below, Seller/Servicer represents, warrants, and confirms the following to Freddie Mac:

Neither Seller/Servicer, nor any Seller/Servicer affiliate, has granted or will grant to Secured Party or any other party under the Credit Facility, and the documents evidencing or securing the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Documents”) will specifically exclude, any lien on

any right, obligation or other interest of Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate under the Guide or any other Freddie Mac Contracts, other than the right to receive payment of all servicing income (including ancillary income and servicing fees) actually received, respectively, by a Seller/Servicer or the Credit Facility Borrower with respect to the Freddie Mac Mortgaged Loans (as defined below) serviced at any time and from time to time under the respective Freddie Mac Contracts, together with any other income (including all servicing fees, ancillary income and any excess servicing rights or retained yield and any and all other income that may be related to servicing activities that is payable to Seller/Servicer or Credit Facility Borrower thereunder) received on account of payments made by a third party (other than Freddie Mac) thereunder (except to the extent that any such Income is required by contract or Applicable Law to be transferred or applied by such Seller/Servicer to or for the benefit of any other Person), which rights are subject to and subordinate to all of the rights and remedies of Freddie Mac thereunder, including without limitation the right of Freddie Mac to retain all or some portion of servicing compensation upon a termination of servicing pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Guide, notwithstanding any provisions of the Credit Facility which may provide for Secured Party rights in accrued and earned servicing compensation;

any right, title or interest of Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate in or to any loan (including, without limitation, any promissory note with respect thereto or any related mortgaged property or other collateral therefor) that has been sold, transferred, committed, or pledged to or on behalf of Freddie Mac pursuant to any Freddie Mac Contract (any “Freddie Mac Mortgage Loan”);

any custodial, clearing, suspense, escrow, or other accounts in which Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate deposits or holds funds received from borrowers under Freddie Mac Mortgage Loans, and any funds held in such accounts;

books and records related to the foregoing items (a), (b), and (c);

any “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claims”, “documents,” “equipment”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”, “letter of credit rights”, or “securities accounts” (as each of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) related to the foregoing items (a), (b), (c), and (d);

any other assets or properties now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate that relate in any respect to the foregoing items (a), (b), (c), and (d).

No provision of any Credit Facility Document will prohibit or otherwise limit Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate from amending, restating, supplementing, modifying or waiving any default by a borrower or other underlying obligor under any Freddie Mac Mortgage Loan, or inhibit, limit, or direct in any way the actions of Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate with respect to the servicing of any Freddie Mac Mortgage Loan, or with respect to any duties and obligations of Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate with respect to the servicing of Freddie Mac Mortgage Loans.

No provision of any Credit Facility Document will prohibit or otherwise limit Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate from consenting to or otherwise effecting or implementing any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to or of any Freddie Mac Contract, consistent with modifications generally applicable to the Freddie Mac Contracts or to a Freddie Mac Seller/Servicer, if such amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification is required or requested by Freddie Mac. Secured Party’s consent will not be required prior to modification of the Guide or modification of any Freddie Mac Contract by Freddie Mac and Seller/Servicer, and such modification without Secured Party’s consent will not constitute a breach of the Credit Facility Documents by Seller/Servicer.

Neither Seller/Servicer nor any Seller/Servicer affiliate will be obligated to, and such parties will not, deliver to Secured Party an original or copy of any audit, lender assessment report, or other internal review of Seller/Servicer prepared by Freddie Mac.

Neither this letter, nor any statement, agreement or other document furnished to Freddie Mac in connection with the consent request herein, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and there is no fact concerning or related to the Credit Facility known to Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate that could materially adversely affect the interests of Freddie Mac which has not been set forth herein or in statements, agreements or other documents furnished in writing by Seller/Servicer to Freddie Mac prior to the date of this letter in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Conditions to Consent.

The parties to this letter hereby agree as follows:

Secured Party Estoppel Certificate. In connection with the closing of the Credit Facility, Secured Party must provide an estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The executed estoppel certificate must be dated as of the Closing Date and provided to Freddie Mac in .pdf form with the confirmation of the Closing Date described below.

Closing Date. Within one business day after the Closing Date, Seller/Servicer and Credit Facility Borrower must confirm the same in writing to Freddie Mac. Delivery of written confirmation by email by this date (to the attention of Erlita Shively at erlita_shively@freddiemac.com) is acceptable.

Notice of Default Under Credit Facility Documents. Seller/Servicer and Credit Facility Borrower agree to deliver promptly to Freddie Mac a copy of any notice or reservation of rights communication received by Seller/Servicer, Credit Facility Borrower, or any Seller/Servicer affiliate indicating the occurrence of an event that constitutes a default or breach under the Credit Facility Documents or that would, with notice and passage of time, constitute a Credit Facility default or breach.

Limitation on Modifications. Neither Seller/Servicer nor Credit Facility Borrower will agree to any modification of any of the Credit Facility Documents that would cause any certification or statement of fact in this letter to be untrue, or that would prevent Seller/Servicer from complying with any requirements of the Guide, the other Freddie Mac Contracts, or this letter.

Obligation to Notify Freddie Mac; Effect of Untrue Representations. Seller/Servicer and Credit Facility Borrower will promptly notify Freddie Mac if any representation, warranty, or statement of fact set forth in this letter becomes inaccurate or untrue. Without limitation of any other rights of Freddie Mac under the Guide or any other Freddie Mac Contracts, Seller/Servicer acknowledges that any untrue representation, warranty, or statement of fact hereunder may constitute grounds for termination of its selling and Servicing approvals for cause under Chapter 4 of the Guide.

No Waiver.

No provision hereof is intended to, or shall be construed to, waive, supersede, limit, or modify in any manner any rights of Freddie Mac under the Guide, and Freddie Mac reserves all such rights. Without limitation of the foregoing, notwithstanding Freddie Mac’s consent to the Pledge as set forth above, no provision hereof shall waive, limit, or modify in any respect any rights of Freddie Mac (1) under Chapter 3 of the Guide with respect to change notification, prior written approval, and Seller/Servicer organizational change reporting requirements, or (2) under Chapter 4 of the Guide with respect to probation, suspension, or termination at any time hereafter, with or without cause, of Seller/Servicer under any of the Freddie Mac Contracts.

Any enforcement of any lien created by the Pledge of Ownership Interests must comply with all requirements of the Guide, including without limitation compliance with all notice, prior written approval, and reporting requirements under Chapter 3, at the time such lien is to be enforced. With respect to any requirement under the Guide for Freddie Mac’s approval, such approval will be in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion.

No Review or Approval of Credit Facility Documents.

Seller/Servicer and Credit Facility Borrower acknowledge that Freddie Mac has not reviewed or approved any Credit Facility Documents, or any provisions thereof, and that its consent to the Pledge as set forth above is limited solely to such pledge as described in this letter, and will not apply to any provisions of the Credit Facility Documents that may exist that are inconsistent with the terms of the Guide or the other Freddie Mac Contracts, or the terms of this letter.

Secured Party hereby acknowledges, represents, certifies, and covenants that each of the following statements is true, correct, and complete as of the Effective Date:

Neither Seller/Servicer, nor any Seller/Servicer affiliate, has granted or will grant to Secured Party or any other party under the Credit Facility pursuant to the documents evidencing or securing the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Documents”) and the Credit Facility Documents specifically exclude, any lien on

any right, obligation or other interest of Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate under the Guide or any agreements between Seller/Servicer and Freddie Mac (together with the Guide, the “Freddie Mac Contracts”), other than the right to receive payment of all servicing income (including ancillary income and servicing fees) actually received, respectively, by a Seller/Servicer or the Credit Facility Borrower with respect to the Freddie Mac Mortgaged Loans (as defined below) serviced at any time and from time to time under the respective Freddie Mac Contracts, together with any other income (including all servicing fees, ancillary income and any excess servicing rights or retained yield and any and all other income that may be related to servicing activities that is payable to Seller/Servicer or Credit Facility Borrower thereunder) received on account of payments made by a third party (other than Freddie Mac) thereunder (except to the extent that any such Income is required by contract or Applicable Law to be transferred or applied by such Seller/Servicer to or for the benefit of any other Person), which rights are subject to and subordinate to all of the rights and remedies of Freddie Mac thereunder, including without limitation the right of Freddie Mac to retain all or some portion of servicing compensation upon a termination of servicing pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Guide, notwithstanding any provisions of the Credit Facility which may provide for Secured Party rights in accrued and earned servicing compensation;

books and records related to the foregoing items (a), (b), and (c);

No provision of any Credit Facility Document prohibits or otherwise limits Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate from amending, restating, supplementing, modifying, or waiving any default by a borrower or other underlying obligor under, any Freddie Mac Mortgage Loan, or inhibits, limits, or directs in any way the actions of Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate with respect to the servicing of any Freddie Mac Mortgage Loan, or with respect to any duties and obligations of Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate with respect to the servicing of Freddie Mac Mortgage Loans.

No provision of any Credit Facility Document prohibits or otherwise limits Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate from consenting to or otherwise effecting or implementing any amendment, restatement, supplement, or other modification to or of any Freddie Mac Contract, consistent with modifications generally applicable to the Freddie Mac Contracts or to a Freddie Mac Seller/Servicer, if such amendment, restatement, supplement, or other modification is required or requested by Freddie Mac. Secured Party’s consent will not be required prior to modification of the Guide or modification of any Freddie Mac Contract by Freddie Mac and Seller/Servicer, and such modification without Secured Party’s consent will not constitute a breach of the Credit Facility Documents by Seller/Servicer.

No provision of any Credit Facility Document obligates Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate to deliver to Secured Party an original or copy of any audit, lender assessment report, or other internal review of Seller/Servicer prepared by Freddie Mac.

If Secured Party exercises any rights or remedies under the Credit Facility Documents with respect to any assets or properties of Seller/Servicer or any Seller/Servicer affiliate, unless and until the selling and Servicing approval of Seller/Servicer has been terminated under Chapter 4 of the Guide, and there has been a complete transfer of the terminated Servicing to one or more Freddie Mac Multifamily Approved Seller/Servicers in good standing, in exercising such rights and remedies, neither Secured Party nor any party acting on its behalf will take any action pursuant to the Credit Facility Documents that could reasonably be expected to prevent Seller/Servicer from continuing to perform its obligations under the Freddie Mac Contracts and continuing its operations relating thereto substantially as conducted prior to such exercise of remedies, without material change in processes, systems, or personnel in a manner that is reasonably likely to

have a material adverse effect on the performance by Seller/Servicer of any of its respective duties or obligations under the Guide or any of the other Freddie Mac Contracts (including, without limitation, any duties and obligations with respect to servicing of Freddie Mac Loans) or

cause Seller/Servicer not to be an eligible Seller/Servicer under the Guide.

Secured Party acknowledges that Freddie Mac has not waived, superseded, limited, or modified in any manner any rights of Freddie Mac under the Guide. Without limitation of the foregoing, notwithstanding any consent of Freddie Mac to the Pledge, such consent will not waive, limit, or modify in any respect any rights of Freddie Mac (1) under Chapter 3 of the Guide with respect to change notification, prior written approval, and Seller/Servicer organizational change reporting requirements, or (2) under Chapter 4 of the Guide with respect to probation, suspension, or termination at any time hereafter, with or without cause, of Seller/Servicer under any of the Freddie Mac Contracts.

Secured Party will not agree to any modification of any of the Credit Facility Documents that would cause any statement in this Certificate to be untrue.

Each individual Person who executes this Certificate on behalf of Secured Party has all requisite knowledge and authority necessary to bind Secured Party.

Secured Party hereby executes this Certificate as of the Effective Date.
