1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Point
Transaction
On
December 29, 2023, GB HRP, LLC (“GB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a series of agreements with
Point Digital Finance, Inc. (“Point”), including a forward flow purchase facility, pursuant to which GB has committed to
purchase home equity interest option assets originated by Point, meeting certain eligibility criteria on a servicing-retained basis through
the use of a master titling trust, Point Titling Trust (the “Trust”). GB has committed to purchase, through the Trust, an
aggregate amount of $100,000,000 of such assets from Point with the option for GB to increase such aggregate commitment to $300,000,000,
in its discretion, upon certain circumstances.
Below
is a summary of each material agreement entered into in connection with the Point transaction:
Program
Agreement
On
December 29, 2023, Point as seller and servicer, the Trust, and GB as buyer agent entered into a program agreement (the “Program
Agreement”). The Program Agreement provides for a $100,000,000 purchase commitment and a one year term of the transaction; provided,
that GB has the right to increase its purchase commitment to $300,000,000 and extend the term for an additional two years at any time
prior to purchasing eligible options in an aggregate amount equal to $75,000,000. Point is obligated to offer at least $5,000,000 of
eligible options for purchase each month and is prohibited from offering greater than $12,000,000 of eligible options in any month. The
purchase price paid by GB for such eligible options shall be equal to (a) (i) with respect to the first $10,000,000 of eligible options
purchased in a given calendar month, an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of such eligible option, or (ii)
with respect to each eligible option purchased in a given calendar month following the first $10,000,000 of eligible options purchased
during such calendar month, an amount equal to one hundred three and thirty-five one-hundredths percent (103.35%) of the amount of such
eligible option, plus (b) the cost of recording the security instrument associated with such eligible option, inclusive of all mortgage
registration and recording taxes and reasonable fees payable in connection therewith, plus (c) the cost of any title insurance obtained
in connection with the closing of such eligible option.
So
long as GB has not purchased eligible options in an aggregate amount equal to its commitment and no seller default has occurred, GB has
agreed that it will not enter into any contract for the purchase of home equity options from any originator other than Point, provide
any debt or equity financing to any such originator or enter into any binding commitment for the foregoing. To the extent GB violates
such non-compete provision or otherwise fails to fund the purchase price of properly offered eligible options two times in a row or four
times in the aggregate over the term of the transaction, GB must pay to Point a breach fee equal to seven percent (7.00%) of its maximum
commitment amount as of the date of such event less the aggregate purchase price paid by GB through and including such date of determination.
Certain seller default events are delineated in the Program Agreement. Upon a seller default, GB is no longer required to purchase eligible
options. To the extent GB fails to fund properly offered eligible options two times in a row or four times in the aggregate over the
term of the transaction, Point is permitted to stop offering eligible options for sale to GB. Each of Point and GB indemnifies the other
party for certain bad acts.
Master
Option Sale Agreement
On
December 29, 2023, Point as seller and trust manager of the Trust, the Trust as the titling trust and buyer, and GB as buyer agent, entered
into a master option sale agreement (the “Sale Agreement”). The Sale Agreement provides that Point shall offer eligible options
for sale to the Trust that have been originated by Point and allocated pursuant to a process that ensures no adverse selection with respect
to all eligible options offered for sale by Point to other counterparties. Each eligible option purchased by the Trust shall be allocated
to a special unit of beneficial interest (“SUBI”) within the Trust beneficially owned by GB.
Once
a month, GB shall fund the projected purchase price for all offered eligible options in a month. Such funding amount shall be delivered
by GB to a funding account owned and maintained by Point. Point is solely permitted to use amounts in such funding account to fund the
origination of such eligible options to be purchased by the Trust on behalf of GB. Point is required to deliver the option files associated
with each eligible option purchased, together with an assignment of such documents in favor of the Trust, to GB’s custodian. Point
is obligated to pay (a) any broker, finder, or other person claiming by, through or under Seller, and (b) all marketing, escrow, legal,
documentation, initial property valuations, recording, and filing costs and expenses relating to the origination and closing of an eligible
option purchased by the Trust on behalf of GB. Each party is otherwise responsible for its own expenses. Point provides certain standard
representations and warranties with respect to each eligible option sold to the Trust on behalf of GB. To the extent there is a breach
of a representation and warranty relating to an option sold to the Trust on behalf of Point that materially and adversely affects the
value of the applicable option and/or the interests of the Trust, for the benefit of the GB, in such option and is not de minimis
in nature, then Point is obligated to repurchase such option at par if such breach is not cured within ninety (90) days. Each option
sold by Point to the Trust, on behalf of GB, must meet certain standard eligibility criteria and portfolio constraints.
Master
Option Servicing Agreement
On
December 29, 2023, Point as servicer and trust manager of the Trust, the Trust as the titling trust and owner, and GB as buyer agent,
entered into a master option servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”). Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, Point
serves as master servicer with respect to options acquired by the Trust on behalf of GB. Point is obligated to service the options pursuant
to a servicing standard and shall take direction as servicer from GB as buyer agent. Point earns a servicing fee of 1.15% per annum based
upon the outstanding amount of the assets being serviced, with such fee being increased to 1.25% per annum for any assets contributed
to a securitization. Additionally, Point, as master servicer, is entitled to a share of any profits associated with an option upon the
resolution or liquidation of such option equal to 5% of such profit or 10% of such profit to the extent such option has been contributed
to a securitization. Upon any voluntary termination of Point as servicer by GB, Point is entitled to a termination fee. Point’s
servicing fees will accrue without interest or penalty until the portfolio has sufficient cash flow to cover the payment of such fees
such that there is no negative carry. Point has entered into a sub-servicing agreement with Servis One, Inc. dba BSI Financial Services
pursuant to which the subservicer has agreed to provide certain asset administration duties with respect to the assets. Point is obligated
to provide assistance to GB in connection with the potential securitization of options serviced by Point on behalf of GB.
Custodial
Agreement
On
December 29, 2023, GB as buyer agent, Point Titling Trust as titling trust, Point as trust manager and US Bank, NA (“US Bank”)
as custodian entered into a custodial agreement (the “Custodial Agreement”). Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, US Bank
acts as custodian of the option files relating to all options purchased by the Trust on behalf of GB. Upon delivery of such files, US
Bank shall deliver a certification of such files to GB within three (3) business days. Upon any liquidation of an option, or to the extent
any document within a file is required to be corrected, the custodian shall release such files back to Point as servicer. The custodian’s
fees are provided for in a separate fee agreement. The custodian is permitted to terminate its obligations upon sixty (60) days’
notice and must remain in place and assist with the transition to a successor custodian. GB is permitted to terminate the agreement at
any time in its discretion.
SUBI
Certificate Transfer Agreement
On
December 29, 2023, Point as transferor and GB as transferee entered into a SUBI certificate transfer agreement (the “SUBI Certificate
Transfer Agreement”) which provides for the transfer of the certificate evidencing beneficial ownership in the SUBI to GB.
The
Program Agreement, Sale Agreement, Servicing Agreement, Custodial Agreement and SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement have been filed as

sell Eligible Options to Buyer, in an amount not less than, for any calendar month, the applicable Minimum Monthly Amount of Eligible

any of its material obligations under any applicable Program Documents has occurred and is continuing during this period, or (iv) the

to be an amount in excess of the Maximum Amount for the Term or the Maximum Monthly Amount for the applicable calendar month, Buyer Agent
shall not be obligated to direct, or cause the funding by the Beneficial Interest Holders of, the purchase of any such Eligible Options
and shall notify Seller in writing within five (5) Business Days as to whether Buyer Agent has elected to cause the purchase any such
Eligible Options (it being understood that a failure of Buyer Agent to notify Seller in writing within such five (5) Business Day period

occurrence and continuation of any of the foregoing, neither Buyer Agent nor any Beneficial Interest Holder shall be under any obligation
to remit funds to the Funding Account.

products and services) that such Governmental Authority has opened a formal regulatory inquiry or taken any other formal regulatory action

by this Agreement. This Agreement and all instruments, documents and agreements to be executed by Seller in connection herewith and therewith
are, or when delivered shall be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller. Each individual executing this Agreement on behalf
of Seller is duly authorized to do so.

No Violation. The execution and delivery by Seller of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
and therein, will not, with or without giving of notice or passage of time, or both: (i) conflict with or violate any material law, statute,
rule, regulation, or administrative order to which Seller is subject or by which Seller’s assets are bound or affected, which violation
would have a material adverse effect on Seller’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) conflict with Seller’s
articles of incorporation or by-laws; (iii) materially violate any judgment, order, writ, or decree of any court or administrative body
in any suit or proceeding to which Seller is a party, which violation would have a material adverse effect on Seller’s ability

affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding or action in equity
or at law).
4.1.4

commission or compensation shall have been paid in full by Seller.
4.1.8
True Sale. Each Option and Option Document is being transferred from Seller to Buyer under this Agreement as a true sale with
the intention that Seller shall have no rights or interests with respect thereto post-Closing, and such that the Option and the related
Option Documents would be removed from Seller’s bankruptcy estate, assuming that Seller had filed for bankruptcy pre-Closing, pursuant
to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. The sale of Options and Option Documents by Seller to Buyer under this Agreement has been made
for “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is utilized in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and state law equivalents)

law equivalents) owed by either Buyer or PTT to Seller.
4.1.9
Sale Treatment. The sale of the Options pursuant to the Program Documents will be afforded sale treatment for tax and accounting
purposes. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not intended in any way to constitute the sale of a “security”

of Seller shall create any inference that the transactions involve any “security” or “securities”.

4.1.13
Fair Consideration. The consideration received by Seller upon the sale of the Options under this Agreement shall constitute fair
consideration and reasonably equivalent value for the Options.
4.1.14
Ability to Perform; Solvency. Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform
each and every covenant contained in this Agreement. Seller is solvent (in that the fair saleable value (determined on a going concern
basis) of its assets shall be greater than the total amount of its undiscounted liabilities), able to pay its debts and obligations in
the ordinary course of business as they become due, and has adequate capital to carry on its businesses and all businesses in which it
is about to engage, as to each, before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The sale of the Options
by Seller will not cause Seller to become insolvent. The sale of the Options is not undertaken to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s
creditors.

not assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged, or granted a security interest in the Option or the Option Documents (nor will Seller purport
to do so hereafter), and Seller has the full right to transfer and sell the Option and the Option Documents to Buyer free and clear of
any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. Following the sale of each Option hereunder, Buyer will own
the Option and hold the Option Documents free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim
or security interest of any kind whatsoever created by or through Seller. Each Option sold to Buyer by Seller pursuant to this Agreement

investigation, executive or legislative proceeding or other form of governmental enforcement in any way related to, directed at or otherwise
affecting (i) the Option Documents or (ii) the use, operation or occupancy of any portion of the Property securing the Option or other
Collateral referenced in the Security Instrument for such Option (other than pending or threatened litigation relating to any homeowners
association, condominium association or similar private association to which the Property is subject, provided that the same does not
relate to the enforcement of any lien for delinquent assessments or other charges against the Property and which could not otherwise
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact upon the applicable Homeowner’s ownership or possession of the Property),
or (iii) any affirmative defenses of the applicable Homeowner to the Option.
4.2.7
Fraud. To Seller’s actual knowledge after reasonable and customary due diligence performed in accordance with the Underwriting
Guidelines, the Option was originated without any fraud or material misrepresentation on the part of the related Homeowner or any other
party.
4.2.8
Accuracy of Option Documents. The Option Documents delivered to Buyer and Custodian in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
and the terms and information relating to the Option set forth in the related Option Offer Notice, are true and correct in all material
respects and to Seller’s actual knowledge, the terms of the Option Documents have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified
in any respect, except by written instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is required by law, or, necessary
to protect the interest of Buyer, for the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders. The terms of any such waiver, alteration or modification
(whether complete or in process) are reflected in the Option Documents, and the written instrument reflecting such terms has been included
in the Option File for the Option. No Homeowner has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms of the Option Documents.
4.2.9
Taxes Paid. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, homeowners association
assessments, leasehold payments or ground rents and any other charges payable with respect to the Property securing the Option have not
become a lien upon the Property securing the Option.
4.2.10
No Defenses. Seller has no actual knowledge nor has it received any written notice, that any Homeowner in respect of the Option
is presently, or was at the time the Option was originated, insolvent or a debtor in any Bankruptcy Proceeding.
4.2.11
Hazard Insurance. The Property securing the Option is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a generally
acceptable insurance carrier, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where such Property is located, and to the extent required
by Seller as of the date on which the Option was originated, and against other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties
in the locality of such Property and all amounts required to have been paid under any such policy have been paid. If any portion of such
Property is in an area identified by any Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a
flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, and all amounts required to have been paid under any such policy have been paid. All such insurance policies (collectively,
the “Hazard Insurance Policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including,
without limitation, subsequent owners of the Option), as mortgagee, loss payee or additional insured. Seller has not engaged in, and
has no actual knowledge of any Homeowner having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy or
the validity and binding effect of either.
4.2.12
Compliance with Applicable Law. (a) All requirements of any federal, state or local law applicable to the Option have been complied
with in all material respects while Seller has owned the Option, and (b) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will
not involve the material violation by Seller of any such Applicable Laws. The origination, servicing and collection practices used by
Seller have been and will be in all material respects in compliance with the Servicing Standard and Applicable Laws.
4.2.13
No Waivers. The Security Instrument securing the Option has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole
or in part, and the Property has not been released from the lien of the Security Instrument, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument
been executed that would directly or indirectly effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Seller has not waived
the performance by the Homeowner of any action, if the Homeowner’s failure to perform such action would cause the Option to be
in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Homeowner. No material default is continuing
with respect to the Option or the related Option Documents.
4.2.14
Location and Type of Property. The Property is located in a Permitted State. The Property consists of real Property that is a
Residential Dwelling. No Option is secured by a multi-family property (other than as set forth in the definition of Residential Dwelling),
a mixed use property or a commercial property, nor is any portion of the Property used for commercial purposes other than non-owner occupied
properties that are leased, in each case, except as otherwise permitted under the Underwriting Guidelines.
4.2.15

the mailing address and the subject Property address to evaluate whether the occupancy status of the Property as represented by the Homeowner
is reasonable. As of the date of purchase of the Option by Buyer, the Property is lawfully occupied under Applicable Law (unless such
Property is not an owner-occupied Property). Seller has not received written notification from any governmental Person that the Property
is in material non-compliance with Applicable Laws.
4.2.19
No Other Collateral. The Option is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Security
Instrument and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage.
4.2.20
Security Instrument. If applicable, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified if required under Applicable Law to act as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Security Instrument, and no fees or expenses are or will become
payable to the trustee under the Security Instrument, except in connection with a trustee’s sale or attempted sale after default
by the Homeowner.

the Buyer in the jurisdiction(s) where the Property is located.

4.2.25
Appraisal. Each Option File contains a written Appraisal with respect to the related Property. The Appraisal was made and signed
(where applicable) in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. The Person performing any Appraisal received no benefit from, and
such person’s compensation or flow of business from Seller was not affected by, the approval or disapproval of the Option or the
valuation made. The selection of the Person performing the property valuation was made independently of Seller’s personnel.
4.2.26
No Default of Superior Liens. To Seller’s actual knowledge after reasonable and customary due diligence performed in accordance
with the Underwriting Guidelines, immediately following the origination and closing of the Option, there is no event of acceleration
or material breach pursuant to which a right of acceleration and/or foreclosure exists under any Superior Liens on the related Property.

become delinquent. Either the Homeowner is (a) a natural person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Homeowner’s spouse,
civil union partner, or registered domestic partner) legally permitted to reside in the United States, or (b) a limited liability company,
a trust or another entity type acceptable to Seller and permitted pursuant to the Underwriting Guidelines.

in violation of any local, state or federal environmental law, and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal environmental

been memorialized and neither Seller nor Buyer has any obligation under the related Option Agreement or other related Option Documents
to advance any additional funds related to the Investment Amount to the Homeowner; provided, that Buyer, for the benefit of (and
as an obligation of) the Beneficial Interest Holders, shall have an obligation to fund the Exercise Payment (as defined in the related
Option Agreement) (to the extent any such amount is not netted upon exercise) in the event of the exercise of an Option, as provided
in the related Option Agreement.
4.2.30
No Continuing Right of Rescission. Any statutory or other rescission or cancellation period with respect to such Option, if any,
has expired.

Anti-Money Laundering. At all times until such Option has been exercised in full by Buyer, Seller has complied with all applicable
anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the “Anti-Money
Laundering Laws”); to the extent required by law, Seller has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the Option
for purposes of the applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable
Homeowner for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
4.2.32
No Set-Off Rights. Such Option and all related Option Documents have been duly authorized and executed by the applicable Homeowner
and are in full force and effect and represent a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Homeowner, enforceable against such Homeowner
in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding
or action in equity or at law). Such Option is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by the applicable
Homeowner, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Option Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render any Option
Document unenforceable in any material respect, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense has been asserted by the applicable Homeowner with respect thereto.
4.2.33
Form of Option Documents. The Option Documents relating to the Option are documented on forms approved from time to time by Seller
as part of its onboarding process, which forms shall be satisfactory to Buyer Agent in its reasonable discretion.
4.2.34

effect at the time of origination without regard to any underwriter discretion, which such Underwriting Guidelines have not been materially
modified from the Underwriting Guidelines in effect on the date hereof in a manner that would materially and adversely affect such Option
without the prior written consent of Buyer Agent, or (ii) if not underwritten in conformance with Seller’s Underwriting Guidelines,
subject to the consent of Buyer Agent, has reasonable and documented compensating factors and complies with the permitted exceptions

of this Agreement that (a) materially and adversely affects the value of the applicable Options and/or the interests of Buyer, for
the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders, in such Options and is not de minimis in nature, or (b) materially and adversely
affects the value of a particular Option or the interest of Buyer, for the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders, in a particular
Option and is not de minimis in nature in the case of a representation and warranty relating to such particular Option (each,

(5) Business Days.
6.1.2
Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) calendar days from the earlier of its discovery of the Breach or its receipt of notice of any
such Breach within which to correct or cure such Breach (solely to the extent that such Breach is reasonably susceptible to cure; if
not, no such cure period shall apply); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Breach arising under
Section 6.1.5, Seller shall only have a period of sixty (60) calendar days from the earlier of its discovery of the Breach or
its receipt of notice of any such Breach within which to correct or cure such Breach (solely to the extent that such Breach is reasonably

for purchase hereunder in order to adjust the composition of the Allocated Eligible Options purchased by Buyer to satisfy the applicable
Portfolio Constraint(s) which was breached. Seller hereby covenants and agrees that if any such Breach is not corrected or cured within
such ninety (90) or sixty (60) calendar day period, as applicable, Seller shall within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of such
cure period, repurchase such Option (or, with respect to any Breach arising under Section 6.1.5, so much of the Allocated Eligible
Options purchased by Buyer hereunder as may be necessary in order to adjust the composition of all Allocated Eligible Options purchased

Upon completion of such repurchase by Seller, Buyer Agent, Trust Manager and/or Seller, as applicable shall arrange for the reassignment

Option. In the case of any lien for which an assignment from Seller to Buyer has been recorded prior to repurchase, Buyer Agent shall
concurrently with the repurchase provide an executed assignment from Buyer to Seller. Seller shall pay any necessary filing, recording,
and other closing costs in connection with recording such reassignment.
6.1.4
Cross-Default. Any material default under one Program Document by a Party, shall, following the expiration of any applicable notice
and/or cure periods, constitute an existing and continuing breach of all other Program Documents.

Portfolio Constraints. With respect to the initial $50,000,000 aggregate Purchase Price of Allocated Eligible Options purchased
by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (the “Initial $50 Million Option Pool”), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary

Option Pool is in compliance with the Portfolio Constraints as of the related Closing Date for the applicable Eligible Option which,
as determined by such Eligible Option’s Investment Amount, incrementally surpasses the amount for the Initial $50 Million Option

cure periods set forth herein), the non-breaching party shall be entitled to exercise all such rights and remedies as are expressly set
forth herein or in any of the other Program Documents, or which may otherwise be available to such party by contract, at law or in equity;
provided, however, that the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer Agent in respect of a Breach for which Buyer, for the benefit of
the Beneficial Interest Holders, has a repurchase right under Section 6.1 shall be the exercise of such repurchase rights under Section
6.1. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller, Buyer or Buyer Agent be liable
to the other or to any other party for any punitive, speculative, special, or consequential damages. The provisions of this Article
6 shall survive each Closing and the consummation of the transactions hereunder.
ARTICLE

Section
7.1 By Seller. Except to the extent of any Losses (as defined below) which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Buyer Agent or its Affiliates (including any Beneficial Interest Holder), Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, Buyer Agent,
Buyer Agent’s Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (collectively, the “Buyer
Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities, damages and expenses, including those arising
pursuant to any claims, suits or proceedings, (collectively, “Losses”), that arise from or relate to (a) any breach
by Seller of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other responsibilities set forth in this Agreement or the Program Agreement
(without giving effect to any materiality qualifiers contained therein) or (b) any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
by Seller or any of its respective officers, directors, agents, employees, or representatives with respect to the Options purchased by
Buyer hereunder. To the extent that PTT is entitled to any indemnification under this Section 7.1, such indemnity payment shall be made
to the applicable Beneficial Interest Holders.
Section
7.2 By Buyer Agent. Except to the extent of any Losses which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller,
Buyer Agent, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates (including each Beneficial Interest Holder) shall indemnify
and hold harmless Seller, Seller’s Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (collectively,
the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and together with Buyer Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”),
from and against any and all Losses, that arise from or relate to (a) any breach by Buyer Agent or Buyer of any of their respective representations,
warranties, covenants or other responsibilities set forth in this Agreement or the Program Agreement, or (b) any gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct by Buyer Agent, any Beneficial Interest Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees,
or representatives with respect to the Options purchased by Buyer hereunder.
Section
7.3 Limitation of Liability. In no event shall any party hereto or its respective Affiliates be liable for special, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages of any kind whatsoever (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of the performance of their
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that Seller shall be responsible and liable for any special, incidental, consequential
or punitive damages incurred by, awarded to or owed to a Homeowner relating to an Option purchased by Buyer hereunder, which damages
arose from or were caused by actions of Seller in breach of this Agreement or any other Option Document.
Section
7.4 Indemnification Procedure. Whenever any claim of the type that would occasion indemnification under this Article 7
is asserted or threatened against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party. Each Indemnified
Party shall notify, to the extent it has actual knowledge thereof, the indemnifying party, within ten (10) days after the occurrence
thereof or obtaining knowledge thereof, of any event, which may give rise or otherwise trigger a right to seek indemnification pursuant
to this Article 7. The notice shall include, if known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim, including, if known, the
amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. A failure to timely give such notification shall not affect the
indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices any defense of claim available to the indemnifying
party. In the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with the claim or legal proceedings of
a claimant not an Indemnified Party to this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its option, at its expense and
with its own counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification) to assume the
defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting from such claim or to participate with its own counsel (which counsel shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) in the compromise or defense thereof. If the indemnifying party undertakes to assume
the defense of any such claim or litigation or participate in the compromise thereof, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party
of its intention to do so, and, as a condition to the indemnifying party’s indemnification obligation, the Indemnified Party shall
cooperate reasonably with the indemnifying party and its counsel (but at the sole expense of the indemnifying party) in the defense against
or compromise of any such claim or litigation. Anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Indemnified
Party is seeking indemnity, the Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle any such claim or litigation without the prior written
consent of the indemnifying party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and if any Indemnified Party

Section
8.10 Mediation. Any dispute between the Parties under this Agreement or the other Program Documents shall be submitted to mediation
at the written election of either Party, prior to the filing of arbitral proceedings under Section 8.11 (except when a statute of limitation
is about to expire). Within ten (10) days of that election, Seller and Buyer Agent shall select one mediator not affiliated with Seller
or Buyer Agent. If, by the end of that ten (10) day period, Seller and Buyer Agent cannot agree on a mediator, then each Party shall
select a mediator of its choice; and the two mediators selected by Seller and Buyer Agent shall select a mediator of their choice not
affiliated with either Seller or Buyer Agent. Within ten (10) days of being appointed, the mediator(s) selected in accordance with this

Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted
by a single arbitrator, with respect to any dispute reasonably involving under $1,000,000, and three arbitrators, with respect to any
dispute reasonably involving over $1,000,000. The arbitrator(s) shall provide the Parties with a brief period of time (not to exceed
ninety (90) days) to conduct discovery. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final, and judgment may exclusively be entered
upon it in accordance with Applicable Law in federal or state courts located in Santa Clara County, California. The Parties shall maintain
the confidential nature of the arbitration proceedings, the Award, and the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare
for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary
remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision. The costs of arbitration

Section
8.13 Entire Agreement. The Program Documents and any documents attached as exhibits or executed in connection herewith or therewith,
constitute the Parties’ entire and final agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all agreements,
representations, warranties, statements, promises, and understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter herewith.
This Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the Parties, and there
are no (and shall be no) unwritten oral agreements between the Parties. The Parties make no representations or warranties to each other,
except as contained in this Agreement or in the accompanying exhibits or the certificates or other Seller Post-Closing Documents or Buyer
Agent/PTT Post-Closing Documents delivered according to this Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed, waived, discharged, or terminated
orally, except by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge, or termination
is sought.
Section

all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Electronic signatures may be accepted as original signatures.
Section

Section
8.16 Further Assurance and Acts. From time to time, Seller shall (i) execute and deliver to Buyer Agent such additional documents,
(ii) provide such additional information to Buyer Agent and (iii) do such further acts, as Buyer Agent may reasonably require to effectuate
the intent and purposes of, and to carry out the terms of, this Agreement, all Option Documents and any agreements executed in connection
herewith or therewith, which further acts may include without limitation, reasonably cooperating with Buyer Agent to ensure that Buyer
is named, promptly following the Closing Date for any particular Option, (a) as the loss payee on each such Homeowner’s casualty
insurance policy required by the Option Documents for such Option, and (b) an “additional insured” on each such Homeowner’s
liability insurance policies required by the Option Documents for such Option. In addition, each of Buyer and Buyer Agent agrees to take,
or cause to be taken, such acts, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of additional documents, instruments and agreements
as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section
8.17 Relationships of the Parties. The relationship among Seller, Buyer Agent and Buyer created under this Agreement shall be
as seller and buyer. None of the Parties hereto are partners or joint venturers, and no such Party shall act as agent for the other,
except as otherwise provided in the Program Documents with respect to actions to be taken by or on behalf of PTT, as Buyer. Except for
the transactions described in this Agreement and the other Program Documents, Seller has no business or other relationship with Buyer
and is not engaged in Buyer’s business or other activities. It is the intention of the parties that each purchase of an Eligible
Option to be made hereunder shall constitute a true sale and absolute conveyance, and that each purchase by Buyer is absolute and irrevocable,
without reservation or retention of any interest whatsoever by Seller. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each conveyance
is made without recourse to Seller; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall be liable to Buyer, Buyer Agent and their respective affiliates
for all representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements made by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Program
Agreement and any other Program Documents, subject to the respective terms and conditions thereof, and (ii) except as specifically set
forth herein, such purchase does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any
obligation of Seller or any other Person, whether arising under the Eligible Options or otherwise existing. Seller agrees to note in
its books and records that the Eligible Options have been conveyed to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to note in its books and records that it
has purchased such Eligible Options and has not Optioned Seller funds secured by such Eligible Options. If, notwithstanding the intention
of the parties, Seller shall be deemed for any reason to have retained any right, title or interest in or to any Eligible Option that
is or was purported to be the subject of any purchase by Buyer hereunder, then (i) Seller shall be deemed to hold the same in trust,
for Buyer’s benefit and account, and (ii) Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and Seller hereby does grant, to Buyer a senior
security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all such Eligible Options now existing or hereafter
arising, which senior security interest shall secure all present and future obligations of Seller hereunder and under the Program Agreement
with respect thereto and all amounts paid by Buyer and/or Buyer Agent to Seller hereunder plus interest and other charges that accrue
on all Eligible Options. It is the intention of Seller, Buyer Agent and Buyer that the Eligible Options sold by Seller to Buyer pursuant
to this Agreement and the Program Agreement shall not be part of Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition
by or against Seller under any bankruptcy or similar law. Buyer Agent (or any of its Affiliates) may, in its sole discretion, file a
UCC financing statement against Seller and Servicer in order to perfect its senior security interest as a purchaser in the Eligible Options
purchased by Buyer, solely as a protective measure in the event the transactions described herein may be or were ever characterized as
financings, provided that Buyer Agent shall provide Seller and Servicer with prior written notice of such filing and the opportunity
to review and reasonably comment on such UCC financing statement. As of the Effective Date, the chief executive office and the principal
place of business of Seller is as set forth in Section 8.2; the exact legal name of Seller is as set forth in the first Paragraph; and
Seller is a corporation incorporated solely under the laws of the State of Delaware. Seller shall provide written notification to Buyer
Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to any changes to the chief executive office, principal place of business, legal name, type
of organization or jurisdiction of organization of Seller.
Section
8.18 Buyer Financing; Option Transfers and Securitization Transactions. (a) Should Buyer Agent (or its Affiliates) elect to finance
a significant portion of its purchase of Options and the related Investor SUBIs, under this Agreement, Seller shall provide such assistance
as Buyer Agent may reasonably request of it to facilitate the completion of such transaction, including, without limitation, participating
in a reasonable amount of conference calls and basic due diligence that a financing partner may require; provided, that the request
does not adversely impact the regular operation of Seller’s business and Seller is not required to incur (i) any greater-than-de
minimis out-of-pocket costs in connection with such assistance or (ii) any material obligation or liability to such financing partner;
provided, that this assistance is related to the consummation of such funding and not in connection with multiple funding requests.
(b)
Seller acknowledges and agrees that with respect to some or all of the Options, Buyer, at the direction of Buyer Agent, may affect one
or more Option Transfers and/or Securitization Transactions. With respect to each Option Transfer or Securitization Transaction, as the
case may be, entered into by Buyer, Seller agrees:
(i)
to cooperate with Buyer Agent and any prospective purchaser with respect to all reasonable requests and due diligence procedures in connection
therewith;
(ii)
to execute and be bound by an assignment, assumption and recognition agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Seller in its reasonable
discretion;
(iii)
to deliver to Buyer Agent for inclusion in any prospectus or other offering material such publicly available information regarding Seller,
its financial condition and its option delinquency, foreclosure and loss experience and any additional information reasonably requested
by Buyer Agent, and to deliver to Buyer Agent any similar nonpublic, unaudited financial information, in which case Buyer Agent shall
bear the cost of having such information audited by certified public accountants if Buyer Agent desires such an audit, or as is otherwise
reasonably requested by Buyer Agent and which Seller is capable of providing without unreasonable effort or expense;
(iv)
to deliver to Buyer Agent and to any Person designated by Buyer Agent, at Buyer Agent’s expense, such statements and audit letters
of reputable, certified public accountants as are customarily delivered in connection with an Option Transfer or Securitization Transaction
pertaining to Seller’s financial condition as shall be reasonably requested by Buyer Agent;
(v)
to deliver to Buyer Agent, and to any Person designated by Buyer Agent, at Buyer Agent’s expense, such legal documents and opinions
of counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel or independent, outside counsel of Seller) as are customarily delivered by originators
or sellers and reasonably determined by Buyer Agent to be necessary in connection with any Option Transfer or Securitization Transaction,
as the case may be, such opinions of counsel to be in the form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer Agent and Seller;
(vi)
to agree to permit any prospective assignees of Buyer that have entered into a commitment to purchase any of the Options in connection
with an Option Transfer or a Securitization Transaction, subject to a mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement, to assess Option
information and review Seller’s servicing and origination operations, upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, and Seller shall
reasonably cooperate with such assessment and reviews to the extent such prospective assignees request information and documents (in
electronic form or otherwise) that are reasonably available and can be produced without unreasonable expense or effort. Any such review
shall be during normal business hours undertaken in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s business operations.
Subject to any Applicable Laws, Seller shall make the Option Files related to the Options held by Seller available at Seller’s
principal operations center for review by any such prospective assignees during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to
Seller (in no event fewer than ten (10) Business Days prior notice);
(vii)
to agree and consent that all information provided by Seller to any Rating Agency for the purpose of determining, and which is used in
connection with, the initial rating of a rated Securitization Transaction including the Options, or for undertaking credit rating surveillance
on such Securitization Transaction, may be posted on a website which complies with the requirements of Rule 17g-5 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 on request of Buyer Agent. Upon request of Buyer Agent, Seller shall provide all such information in electronic form as needed
to effect such posting. To the extent any Rating Agency conducts a review of the operations of the Seller which may be used in connection
with the initial rating of a Securitization Transaction or the surveillance thereof, on request of Buyer Agent, Seller shall provide
to Buyer Agent in electronic form all information that was provided to the Rating Agency in connection with such review; and
(viii)
to represent and warrant to each Rating Agency providing a rating in connection with a Securitization Transaction, in a separate writing
that (A) Seller shall promptly provide to each Rating Agency all information requested by each Rating Agency in accordance with its published
ratings criteria, (B) all information provided to the Rating Agency contains no untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit
a material fact necessary in order to make such information, in light of the circumstances in which it was provided, not misleading,
and (C) provide such other data or information, and shall make any additional representations or warranties reasonably required by any
Rating Agency, in each case which are customary for assets similar to the Options.
All
of the Options not sold or transferred pursuant to a Securitization Transaction or an Option Transfer shall continue to be subject to
this Agreement and, with respect thereto, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In no event shall an Option Transfer
or a Securitization Transaction be deemed to relieve Seller of its obligations as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Options
not sold or transferred pursuant to a Securitization Transaction or an Option Transfer. Buyer Agent shall, or shall cause the Beneficial
Interest Holders (in accordance with the terms of the related Investor SUBIs) to, reimburse Seller or to cause Seller to be reimbursed
for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by Seller in connection with performing its duties and obligations in this
Section 8.18(b) in connection with any Option Transfer or Securitization Transaction, including, without limitation, reasonable
legal fees and expenses. Without limitation of the foregoing, in no event shall Seller be required to take any action pursuant to this
Section 8.18(b) that would require or result in the incurrence by Seller of any material out-of-pocket costs or expenses unless
Buyer Agent shall have paid or caused the payment such amounts, or made arrangements for the payment of such amounts upon incurrence,
in a manner acceptable to Seller in its reasonable discretion
Section
8.19 Waiver of Setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Servicing Agreement with respect to contemplated
offsets or netting against in respect of Servicing Fee payments, all payments hereunder by Seller to Buyer, Buyer Agent or any Beneficial
Interest Holder or by Buyer, Buyer Agent or any Beneficial Interest Holder to Seller, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other
defense and each of the Parties hereto hereby waives any and all of its rights to assert any right of setoff, counterclaim or other defense
to the making of a payment due hereunder to the other Parties.
Section
8.20 Force Majeure. If any Party anticipates being unable or is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by an extreme and unexpected
force outside the control of such Party (including, but not limited to, act of God, legislative enactments, strikes, lock-outs, riots,
acts of war, epidemics, fire, communication line or power failure, earthquakes or other disasters) to carry out its obligations under
this Agreement, that Party shall give the other Party prompt written notice to that effect, the expected duration of the inability to
perform, and assurances that all available means will be employed to continue and/or restore performance. Upon receipt of the written
notice, the affected obligations of the Party giving the notice shall be suspended so long as such Party is reasonably unable to so perform
and such Party shall have no liability to the other for the failure to perform any suspended obligation during the period of suspension;
however, the other Party may at its option terminate this Agreement if the period of time subject to force majeure extends beyond one
hundred and eighty (180) days.
Section
8.21 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns; provided, that except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Party may assign this Agreement without the
written consent of the other Parties hereto; provided further, that Buyer Agent may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate without consent.
Section
8.22 Concerning the UTI Trustee. The parties hereto are put on notice and hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement
is executed and delivered on behalf of PTT by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“WSFS”), as UTI Trustee of PTT,
not individually or personally but solely as trustee of PTT, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it,
(b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of PTT is made and intended not as a personal representation,
undertaking or agreement of WSFS but is made and intended for the purpose of binding PTT, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed
as creating any liability on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein of
PTT, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties
hereto, (d) WSFS has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations and warranties made by PTT in this
Agreement, and (e) under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of PTT or be
liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by PTT under this Agreement
or any other related document.

INVESTOR
ALLOCATION PROCESS
Point
Option Contract Assignment Process
Last
Updated: October 1, 2018
Summary
To
ensure all investors have a fair opportunity to be assigned option contracts (the “Options”), Point assigns Options on a
random, pro-rata basis, as described further below. This Allocation Policy mitigates the risk that any investor is subject to adverse
selection based on inequitable distribution of Options.
Process
For
options that meet eligibility criteria of at least two investors (“Eligible Options”), Point will execute the following process:
| ● | Each
investor will be assigned a probability of receiving the option (“Option Probability”). |
| ● | Option
Probability will account for contractual obligations, capital capacity, and Options already
sold to the investor in the relevant time period. For example, if an investor has capital
capacity remaining of $400k and the Option is $500k, the Option will not be deemed to meet
the investor’s eligibility criteria, and the investor will be assigned an Option Probability
of 0%. |
| ● | Using
a software-based random number generator, Point will assign the Option based on the investor’s
Option Probability of receiving it. |
For
all other Options (“Ineligible Options”) Point will execute the following process:
| ● | If
the Option has features or characteristics that an investor has declared they will not purchase
under any circumstances, the investor will not be considered for the Option. For example,
if an investor is unwilling to purchase Options with a 30-year term, that investor will not
be presented or considered for any 30-year Options. |
| ● | Once
the pool of Eligible Investors for each Ineligible Option is determined, Point will consider
the following factors in determining who will receive the Option: |
| ○ | Total
capital commitment; |
| ○ | Available
capital; |
| ○ | Options
received to date relative to capital commitment; |
| ○ | Credit
attributes of Options already sold to each respective investor; |
| ○ | Prior
declinations or acceptances of similar Options; |
| ○ | Eligibility
criteria of each investor; |
| ○ | Portfolio
constraints of each investor; and |
| ○ | Any
other criteria that Point in its reasonable discretion may consider to ensure that no investor
is subject to an inequitable distribution of Options. |

3. Administration
and Servicing of Options; Collection, Remittance and Accounting.
3.1. Servicing
of Options; Subservicing; Servicing Fees.
3.1.1. Servicing.
Buyer Agent and Owner hereby appoint Point to act as Servicer with respect to the Options, the Option Documents and the related rights
and assets purchased by Owner under the Purchase Agreement, with the authority to service, administer and exercise rights and remedies
in respect of such Options. Point hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the duties and responsibilities of Servicer pursuant
to the terms hereof.
3.1.2. Subservicing.
Servicer has contracted with Servis One, Inc., d/b/a BSI Financial Services (the “Initial Sub-servicer”), and from
time to time may contract with any other qualified person to perform all or any portion of Servicer’s servicing duties hereunder,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 15. With respect to any future sub-servicer or subcontractor, (i) Servicer shall
select such Person with reasonable care, (ii) the fees and expenses payable to the Initial Sub-servicer and any other sub-servicer or
subcontractor shall be payable solely by Buyer Agent, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.1.3, (iii) Servicer shall not
be relieved of, and shall remain liable for, the performance of the duties and obligations of Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof without
regard to any subservicing or subcontracting arrangement, (iv) any such subcontract shall be terminable upon delivery of a Termination
Notice by Buyer Agent to Servicer, and (v) notice of any such arrangement is promptly provided to Buyer Agent, together with a copy of
the agreement governing such arrangement. Servicer shall not terminate its existing arrangement with Initial Sub-servicer with respect
to the Options without Buyer Agent Consent; provided, however, that Buyer Agent Consent shall not be required to the extent (i) the termination
of Initial Sub-servicer is the result of a material breach or default by Initial Sub-servicer under its subservicing arrangements with
Servicer (which shall specifically include, without limitation, any incidents of fraud, theft or misappropriation of funds, or any occurrence
of three (3) or more breaches of defaults within any twelve (12) month period), or (ii) any delay in such termination of Initial Sub-servicer
could reasonably be expected to result in any impairment, waste or deterioration to, or any disruption in collections from, any Option
or any collateral therefor.
3.1.3. Fees
and Penalties. As compensation for the performance of its duties under this Agreement, Buyer Agent shall pay to Servicer, monthly
in arrears (but subject in all respects to the terms of this Section 3.1.3) upon Servicer’s submission of an invoice to
Buyer Agent, as full compensation for all of its services performed hereunder, a servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”)
in an amount equal to:
| (a) | the
applicable Asset Administration Fee for each month during which Servicer is servicing any
Options under this Agreement, plus |
| (b) | as
a disposition fee in connection with the resolution of any Option serviced by Servicer under
this Agreement, (i) an amount equal to the product (solely to the extent such result yields
a positive number) of (A) the Disposition Fee Rate, multiplied by (B) an amount equal
to (1) the Point Proceeds received in connection with the resolution of such Option, minus
(2) the Purchase Price with respect to such Option, minus (ii) an amount equal
to any accrued Shared Impairment Amounts in respect of any prior resolutions of Impaired
Options, with such Shared Impairment Amounts being applied as a dollar-for-dollar debit against
disposition fees payable under this Section 3.1.3(b) until applied in full (but in
no event shall the application of Shared Impairment Amounts for any calendar month be in
an amount greater than the total disposition fees otherwise payable under this Section
3.1.3(b)); provided, that, in the event that any portion of a Shared Impairment
Amount with respect to an Impaired Option shall remain outstanding for more than nine (9)
calendar months (commencing with the calendar month immediately following the calendar month
in which such amount first became due and payable hereunder with respect to the related Option),
Servicer shall pay such remaining outstanding balance to Buyer Agent within thirty (30) days
following receipt by Servicer of an invoice from Buyer Agent for such amount, plus |
| (c) | all
Ordinary Course Expenses, Extraordinary Expenses, Servicing Advances, credit monitoring fees
and other amounts payable or reimbursable to Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation,
all fees and expenses payable to Initial Subservicer or any other subservicer or subcontractor
appointed in accordance with this Agreement, plus |
| (d) | any
pass-through fee paid by the Homeowner to compensate Servicer for processing the resolution
that has already been remitted to Buyer Agent and/or the applicable Beneficial Interest Holders. |
Penalties.
Servicer shall pay Buyer Agent, monthly in arrears (but subject in all respects to the terms of this Section 3.1.3) and solely
as a reduction to Servicing Fees otherwise payable hereunder, a penalty with respect to any Option subject to a Homeowner Prepayment
Event (“Penalties”) in amount equal to (i) the Purchase Price for such Option, plus (ii) Asset Administration Fees
incurred under this Agreement with respect to such Option, minus (iii) the Point Proceeds received in connection with such Option;
provided, however, in the event the foregoing calculation yields an amount equal to or less than $0, no Penalty shall be payable with
respect to such Option or the related Homeowner Prepayment Event; provided, that, in the event that any portion of a Penalty with
respect to a Homeowner Prepayment Event shall remain outstanding for more than nine (9) calendar months (commencing with the calendar
month immediately following the calendar month in which such amount first became due and payable hereunder with respect to the related
Option), Servicer shall pay such remaining outstanding balance to Buyer Agent within thirty (30) days following receipt by Servicer of
an invoice from Buyer Agent for such amount.
Servicing
Fees shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and shall continue thereafter until the Date of Servicer Termination. Upon receipt of
Servicer’s monthly invoice for Servicing Fees payable hereunder (which shall include both amounts incurred for the calendar month
then ended and amounts accrued and unpaid for any prior period) and the Monthly Collections Report, so long as Buyer Agent has not objected
to any calculation in accordance with Section 3.2.1, Buyer Agent shall remit to Servicer, within ten (10) Business Days following
receipt of such monthly invoice and Monthly Collection Report, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) all accrued unpaid Servicing Fees
reflected in such invoice or (ii) all Collections and other amounts received by Buyer Agent and the Beneficial Interest Holders in respect
of Options serviced by Servicer hereunder through and including the calendar month then-ended (less Servicing Fees previously invoiced
and paid from such amounts.) To the extent the accrued Servicing Fees payable as of the end of any calendar month exceed the aggregate
amount of Collections and other amounts received by Buyer Agent and the Beneficial Interest Holders in respect of Options serviced hereunder
through such date, the amount of such excess shall continue to accrue and shall be carried forward and payable on successive invoice
dates until paid in accordance with the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing, and except as otherwise provided in Section 18,
immediately upon any termination of this Agreement or any other Program Document, any assignment, sale or other transfer by Owner of
any Option (except to the extent the transferee becomes an Owner hereunder and under the other Program Documents) or any transfer of
servicing with respect to any Option, all accrued unpaid Servicing Fees shall become due and payable in full.
Each
Monthly Collections Report from Servicer shall include a summary of the aggregate accrued unpaid Servicing Fees as of the last day of
the previous month, together with an itemized detailing of each component of the Servicing Fee accrued during the previous month. Buyer
Agent may request an invoice or other supporting detail for any Extraordinary Expense or Ordinary Course Expense itemized in a Monthly
Collections Report. In addition, Servicer shall be entitled to referral income earned from third parties in connection with facilitating
a liquidation of a Property related to an Option.
3.1.4. Except
for, and subject to the prior payment in full of, the Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.1.3, and for amounts Servicer is
entitled to collect pursuant to Section 17, Buyer Agent, for the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders, shall be entitled
to retain all other payments received in connection with each Option, and shall have no obligation to remit any other fees/costs to Servicer
(without prejudice, however, to any amounts owed pursuant to indemnification provisions).
3.1.5. Subject
to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4), Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any
Option or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Homeowner; provided,
however, that Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Option that would change the HEI Percentage, Option
Consideration, Investment Amount, Exercise Payment, Appreciation Starting Value, Expiration Date, or Homeowner Protection Cap, in each
case as defined in the related Option Agreement, make any future advances or extend the final expiration date with respect to such Option,
or release any collateral for such Option, unless (1) the modification is strictly in accordance with the Servicing Standard, which may
reasonably change from time to time upon notice to Buyer Agent, and (2) Servicer has obtained Buyer Agent Consent for such action. Such
actions may include, but are not limited to, (a) waiving short term delinquencies on mortgage payments, property tax payments and insurance
payments, (b) processing de minimis amendments to reflect new homeowners on title, and (c) accommodating estate planning efforts
by consenting to properties being placed in a trust, provided that all trustees agree to be bound by the terms of the Option Agreement.
Additionally, Servicer shall only permit or effect any Property Sale or Owner Option Repurchase (each as defined in the related Option
Documents) to the extent permitted under the related Option Documents, unless otherwise approved by Buyer Agent Consent.
3.1.6. In
connection with any notice, request, direction or other action to be taken under any Option Agreement or other Option Document relating
to an Option, Servicer, or the sub-servicer on its behalf, will notify Buyer Agent (and Servicer, if notification is from a sub-servicer)
promptly upon receipt or knowledge of any such notice, request, direction or other action. In connection with any action requested to
be taken by Buyer Agent, or by Servicer or the sub-servicer on behalf of Owner, for the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders, Servicer
and Buyer Agent agree to cooperate and act promptly to respond, notify and otherwise act (or to authorize and direct Owner to so respond,
notify or otherwise act) with respect to the related Option, the Property and the Homeowner(s), as applicable, to fulfill the requirements
of the related Option Agreement and other Option Documents; provided, that if Buyer Agent does not respond or provide direction to Servicer
or sub-servicer, as applicable, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the notice described in the immediately preceding sentence,
then Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, shall not take action under the Option Agreement and other Option Documents on behalf of
Owner relating to the actions requested to be taken by Buyer Agent, unless required by Applicable Law; provided further, that
Servicer or sub-servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable Servicing Advances in connection with any actions
taken on behalf of Owner pursuant to this Section 3.1.6, Section 7.3 or Section 8; provided further, that
neither Servicer nor the sub-servicer shall be liable for any costs, losses, claims, damages or other liabilities with respect to actions
taken or not taken on behalf of Buyer Agent or Owner (including when Buyer Agent has failed to respond or provide direction with respect
to actions to be taken under the related Option Agreement or other Option Document for an Option), except to the extent of any gross
negligence or willful misconduct by Servicer or sub-servicer (unless otherwise subject to indemnification under Section 28(a)).
3.2. Collection,
Remittance and Accounting. Servicer shall, on behalf of Owner, for the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders, service, administer,
collect and enforce the Options purchased by Owner pursuant to the Program Agreement and the Purchase Agreement in accordance in all
material respects with the Servicing Standard, subject to any more specific provisions in this Agreement and/or any written directions
from Buyer Agent (to the extent such further written directions do not materially modify the scope of the Servicing Standard or the obligations
of Servicer hereunder, unless approved in writing by Servicer). Until the Point Proceeds relating to each Option serviced hereunder are
paid in full, or as otherwise directed by Buyer Agent in writing, Servicer shall with regard to such Option be responsible for:
(i) monitoring
and posting of all payments of Collections and other proceeds relating to the Options, investigating and enforcing delinquencies and
defaults on the Options, communicating with and responding to inquiries from Homeowners thereunder, and accounting for Collections on
and performance of the Options;
(ii) maintaining
complete and accurate records necessary to perform the foregoing duties and to determine the status of each Option;
(iii) identifying
each Option in its books and records as owned by Owner until such Option has been exercised, repurchased by the applicable Homeowner,
expires, or is otherwise repurchased or charged off;
(iv) providing
the Monthly Collections Report to Buyer Agent in accordance with Section 3.2.1 hereof;
(v) causing
the Collections on the Options to be remitted to the applicable Account(s) in accordance with Section 3.2.1 hereof;
(vi) upon
request by Buyer Agent, furnishing Buyer Agent with reasonable evidence acceptable to Buyer Agent of all expenditures for taxes, assessments

(vii) proceeding
diligently to demand, collect and receive from the Homeowners all payments due under the terms of the Option as they become due, to the
extent applicable, including Preservation Payments (as defined in the Option Documents);
(viii) providing
customary and reasonable customer-care services, such as a toll free number and online chatting capability, reasonably staffed by trained,
knowledgeable Persons during normal business hours on Business Days, to address Homeowner inquiries;
(ix) responding
to inquiries by any Government Authority;
(x) to
do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which Servicer may deem necessary or desirable
and consistent with the terms of this Agreement; and
(xi)
perform such other duties reasonably requested of Servicer by Buyer Agent.
3.2.1. Buyer
Agent shall cause each Beneficial Interest Holder to establish and maintain an account in its name with a bank acceptable to Buyer Agent
for receipt from Initial Sub-servicer (or any successor sub-servicer) of all Collections on Options (including, without limitation, Point
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) acquired during the Term of the Program Agreement (the
“Account” or, if more than one, the “Accounts”). In the event Servicer (or any of its Affiliates)
receives funds on behalf of the Options directly or from Initial Sub-servicer or a Homeowner, Servicer (or such Affiliate) shall hold
such funds in trust for Owner, for the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders, and shall promptly deposit such Collections in the
Account or Accounts, as applicable, to be applied only in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any funds received
in connection with the liquidation or exercise of any Option will be deposited in the Account or Accounts no later than three (3) Business
Days immediately following the day on which funds were received by the Initial Sub-servicer or its replacement (if applicable) in accordance
with the applicable sub-servicing agreement. Other than by making such deposits, Servicer shall not deposit any other funds into the
Account or Accounts without Buyer Agent Consent. Servicer shall not commingle its funds with any funds earmarked for an Account hereunder.
If so specified by Buyer Agent, Servicer shall, and shall cause the Sub-servicer to, deposit funds from certain Options to a certain
Account, and funds from other Options to other Account(s), with no commingling thereof. No later than on the tenth (10th)
Business Day of each calendar month, Servicer shall deliver to Buyer Agent a report of all Collections that have been deposited into
the Account or Accounts during the previous calendar month and a calculation of all Servicing Fees owed to Servicer hereunder (the “Monthly
Collections Report”). Buyer Agent shall have a period of five (5) Business Days to review the Monthly Collections Report and
to deliver any objections to Servicer.
3.2.2. In
connection with its activities as Servicer hereunder, Servicer shall:
| (i) | Instruct
Initial Sub-servicer (or any successor sub-servicer) to remit by wire transfer to the Account

sub-servicer), due under the Option. Each remittance shall be in immediately available funds. |
| (ii) | Include
in each Monthly Collections Report an accounting of the amounts transmitted to the Accounts. |
| (iii) | Provide
to Buyer Agent reporting pursuant to Article 4 of the Program Agreement. Servicer’s
servicing and collection files relating to the Options shall be in a form that can be promptly
transferred to any Successor Servicer. |

Servicer gaining knowledge of any claims, liens, or litigations affecting any Property or
Homeowner, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify Buyer Agent in
writing of any such claim, lien, or litigation and cooperate with Buyer Agent in the resolution
thereof. |
| (v) | Receive,
hold and disburse any amounts deposited with Servicer to be held by Servicer and disbursed
or applied in payment of expenses or otherwise for specified purposes pursuant to and in
accordance with the Option Documents. |
3.2.3. Insurance.

and $2,000,000 aggregate covering claims involving privacy violations, information theft, damage to or destruction of electronic information,
intentional and/or unintentional release of private information, alteration of electronic information, extortion and network security.
This provision does not prohibit the Servicer from procuring additional policies or coverages.
(ii) All
policies of insurance shall be with insurance companies licensed or authorized to do business in California, with a minimum rating of
A or better in the Best’s Insurance Guide and an S&P rating of at least A+V (or a higher rating if reasonably required by Buyer
Agent), and shall have attached thereto an endorsement that such policy shall not be cancelled or materially changed without at least
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Buyer Agent. All insurance policies hereunder shall (A) list Owner as an additional insured;
(B) be primary to any policies procured by Owner; and (C) contain a standard waiver of subrogation endorsement.
(iii) Within
five (5) Business Days of the Execution Date, Servicer shall deliver Buyer Agent certificates of insurance with respect to all policies
procured hereunder. Servicer shall deliver additional certificates of insurance (showing the procurement of replacement policies or renewal
of existing policies) no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination of any policy.
(iv) No
provision hereof requiring insurance shall diminish or relieve Servicer from its duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement.
3.2.4. Employees.
Servicer shall be solely responsible for hiring, supervising, directing the work of, promoting, discharging, training, and determining
the compensation of all Servicer employees providing Services hereunder. The salaries, bonuses, compensation, and benefits of all personnel
shall be usual, customary, and reasonable in light of the Servicing Standard. Servicer warrants and represents that each of its employees
that may perform tasks in connection with the servicing of the Options underwent a reasonable background investigation in connection
with their employment by Servicer.
3.2.5. Servicer
shall service and administer each Option consistent with (i) those servicing practices of institutions of similar (or greater) size and
financial scope which service real estate-related financial products comparable to such Option in the jurisdiction where the related
Property is located, (ii) the same degree of care and diligence in servicing, collecting and reporting that is exercised by it with respect
to all similarly situated options owned by it, (iii) Applicable Law, including federal and state legal and regulatory requirements, (iv)
the terms of this Agreement and (v) the terms of the related Option Documents (collectively, the “Servicing Standard”).
3.2.6. In
addition, and not by way of limitation of the foregoing, Servicer confirms it will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
Servicer, its personnel, any sub-servicers (including, without limitation, Initial Sub-servicer) and any agents retained by Servicer
or any sub-servicers (including, without limitation, Initial Sub-servicer), including, but not limited to, law firms and attorneys, are
in compliance with those state and local, and any other Applicable Law in connection with any foreclosures and other actions taken with
respect to foreclosed properties or tenants of such properties on behalf of Owner in all material respects. If Servicer fails to comply
with the foregoing it shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner, Custodian, Buyer Agent, and their respective Affiliates, shareholders,
directors, officers, and employees from any losses or liability attributable to such non-compliance.
3.2.7. Buyer
Agent shall refund to Servicer, within ten (10) Business Days after demand (or such shorter period of time as may be required by Applicable
Law, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or by the terms of the Option Documents), any amount with respect to an Option distributed
to the Beneficial Interest Holders, in the event that Owner or Servicer is required by Applicable Law, by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction, or by the terms of the Option Documents, to return to the payor or any other Person, such refund to include (but only in
the event the return of any such funds is not required as a result of the negligent acts or omissions of Servicer or breach of this Agreement
by Servicer) any interest or penalty which Owner or Servicer may be required to pay with respect thereto, but only up to the amounts
remitted to the Beneficial Interest Holders, with respect to such Option(s).
3.2.8. Servicer
agrees that it shall have no right of setoff or banker’s lien against, and, except as specifically permitted by the Program Documents,
no right to otherwise deduct or withdraw from, any funds held in any Accounts.
3.2.9. Servicer
agrees that it shall monitor the Options that have been purchased by Owner under the Program Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.
3.2.10.
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Option entered into after the related Closing Date within thirty (30) days of Servicer’s receipt of an executed copy of such document.
Servicer shall only record agreements evidencing any such assumption, modification, consolidation or extension to the extent required
to maintain the lien of the applicable Option or if requested in writing by Buyer Agent.
3.2.11.
Servicer shall maintain an internal quality control program that reviews, on a regular basis, its and its vendors and default firms’
compliance with and conformity to all Applicable Law (including all applicable regulations, rules, directives and published guidance
of the CFPB, as such may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time) to which Servicer or the Options are subject. The program
shall include evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of Servicer’s servicing and origination activities, including collection
call programs, in accordance with industry standards and the Servicing Standard. From and after the implementation of such quality control
program, Servicer shall track any material issues that emerge from the quality control reviews of itself and its vendors and default
firms and promptly notify Buyer Agent of any potential material issues on a monthly basis and cause such potential material issues to
be timely addressed and remediated. Servicer shall provide Buyer Agent with notice of any material modifications to the quality control
program as promptly as possible and in any event not later than within one month following the implementation of such modification (which
notification requirement may be satisfied by Servicer identifying such modifications during the monthly telephone status conference between
Buyer Agent and Servicer), in which case Buyer Agent shall have the option to perform a due diligence review of the revised quality control
program on reasonable notice to Servicer.
3.2.12.
From time to time, no less than quarterly, Servicer shall conduct, or cause to be conducted, a comprehensive OFAC review of any or all
Options and REO Properties to ensure full compliance with OFAC Regulations. To the extent that Servicer determines that an Option or
REO Property matches OFAC’s listing of “Specially Designated Nationals” or “Blocked Persons” using the
lists updated from time to time on OFAC’s website (an “OFAC Match”), Servicer shall notify Buyer Agent of any
Option presenting the OFAC Match within ten (10) Business Days of the Initial Sub-Servicer’s notice to Servicer of such OFAC Match.
4. Limitation
on Servicer’s Authority.
4.1. Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, Servicer will not be permitted to take any of the following actions unless and until it has notified
Buyer Agent thereof in writing, provided to Buyer Agent all reasonably and specifically requested information with respect thereto, and
obtained Buyer Agent Consent with respect thereto:
4.1.1. except
as expressly set forth herein, make or consent to any written change of the Option or Option Documents or any waiver of any provision
therein, other than Permitted Modifications or pursuant to policies mutually agreed upon between Buyer Agent and Servicer;
4.1.2. initiate,
either directly or indirectly, foreclosure or workout proceedings against or with any Homeowner;
4.1.3. make
or consent to any written release, substitution or exchange of any collateral or security encumbered or granted by the Option Documents,
except (a) to the extent such release, substitution or exchange is expressly permitted under the terms of the Option Documents, (b) with
respect to Allowable Subordinations in a manner as mutually agreed upon by Buyer Agent and Servicer, (c) to the extent the same constitutes
a Permitted Modification, or (d) with respect to a waiver of up to a $500 shortage of Point Proceeds per Option, solely due to delays
in wiring funds from multi-party transactions, resulting in a shortfall in the per diem amount;
4.1.4. waive
or consent to waive in writing any monetary claim against any Homeowner, except with respect to a waiver permitted by Section 4.1.3;
4.1.5. deliver
or otherwise authorize the delivery of a written release of any claim under a Title Insurance Policy insuring the validity and priority
of the Option Documents;
4.1.6. consent
to or make Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds available for restoration of any Property, unless expressly permitted in the Option
Documents;
4.1.7. approve,
accept or consent in writing to any cancellation or termination of the Option Documents, except to the extent that such approval, acceptance
or consent is expressly permitted by the Option Documents;
4.1.8. cure
any senior obligation;
4.1.9. approve
any proposed third party transfer of any Property unless such approval is expressly permitted by the Option Documents; or
4.1.10. release,
compromise or settle any claim against any Homeowner.
5. Insurance
Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds.
5.1.1. Servicer
shall receive, hold and disburse, or at either (a) its election with Buyer Agent Consent or (b) Buyer Agent’s written request,
establish with a reliable escrow agent (which may include a sub-servicer, a national title insurance company or title agency authorized
to underwrite and/or issue title insurance policies and/or act on behalf of a national title insurance company) an escrow account or
arrangement to receive, hold and disburse, pursuant to the terms of the Option Documents, any proceeds of fire, hazard or other insurance
covering the Property; provided, however, that if Buyer Agent agrees (in a writing) to permit such proceeds to be made available to Homeowner
for repairs, rebuilding or restoration not required pursuant to the Option Documents, or if such proceeds are required to be made so
available pursuant to the Option Documents, then such proceeds shall be so disbursed.
5.1.2. Servicer
shall receive, hold and disburse, or at either (a) its election with Buyer Agent Consent or (b) Buyer Agent’s written request,
establish with a reliable escrow agent (as described above), an escrow to receive, hold and disburse, pursuant to the terms of the Option
Documents, any award received as a result of any proceeding involving the condemnation of all or part of the Property; provided, however,
that if Buyer Agent agrees that such award shall be made available to the Homeowner for repairs, rebuilding or restoration not required
pursuant to the Option Documents, or if such award is required to be made so available pursuant to the Option Documents, then such award
shall be so disbursed.
6. Transfer
of Property. Except with Buyer Agent’s prior, written consent, Servicer shall not consent to any transfer or release of the
Property by a Homeowner if such transfer, release, encumbrance or subsequent financing would be a violation of any restrictions or covenants
imposed upon the Homeowner in the Option Documents, except to the extent such transfer or release is expressly permitted by the Option
Documents. All requests for consent to a transfer shall be submitted by Servicer to Buyer Agent in writing, together with appropriate
financial information for Buyer Agent to make a decision in regard to the transfer. Nothing herein shall prohibit Servicer from charging
Homeowner a reasonable fee for processing Homeowner’s request.
7. Homeowner’s
Failure to Perform and Other Notices.
7.1. If
any Homeowner fails to make a payment required to be made under the terms of an Option (including protective advances made by Servicer,
and invoiced to Homeowner, as a Servicing Advance to preserve and protect the applicable Property) for thirty (30) days following the
due date of such payment, Servicer will notify Buyer Agent of such fact within its normal notification procedures. Servicer shall use
reasonable diligence to ascertain, and will notify Buyer Agent of, the failure of any Homeowner to perform any other obligation under
the applicable Option. Without limiting the forgoing, Servicer shall notify Buyer Agent of any of the following events of which Servicer
has received actual notice:
7.1.1. A
vacating or abandonment of any Property;
7.1.2. The
sale or transfer of any Property;
7.1.3. The
death, bankruptcy, insolvency or other disability of any Homeowner;
7.1.4. Any
liquidation or dissolution, expiration or revocation of any corporate Homeowner or dissolution, partition, termination or expiration
of any Homeowner which is a partnership, limited liability company, business association or trust;
7.1.5. Any
material loss or material damage to any Property;
7.1.6. Any
actual or pending public taking of the Property by eminent domain or condemnation or any taking in lieu thereof;
7.1.7. Any
material lack of repair or any other material deterioration or waste in respect to the Property;
7.1.8. Any
Hazardous Substance which is located or stored on the Property in violation of Applicable Law or the Option Documents;
7.1.9. Any
event or circumstance which would constitute a breach of a representation or warranty made by Seller under the Purchase Agreement; and
7.1.10. Any
act or failure to act by a Homeowner or any other Person which would constitute an event of default under the relevant Option Documents,
with or without the passage of time (an “Option Agreement Default”).
7.2. Servicer
shall promptly provide notices of any Option Agreement Default or any other notices to Homeowner as required in the Option Documents.
7.3. In
the event of an Option Agreement Default, Buyer Agent and/or the Beneficial Interest Holders may make an advance as is necessary and
prudent to protect Owner’s interest in the Option and/or the Property. Servicer, with Buyer Agent Consent, also may advance its
own funds (any such advance, a “Servicing Advance”) to reasonably protect the security of the Option and or Property,
including advances to cure senior liens, property insurance, property taxes, foreclosure expenses, repair, advertising, litigation expenses
and similar items. Buyer Agent shall reimburse to Servicer all such Servicing Advances approved by Buyer Agent pursuant to Section
3.1.3.
7.4. In
the event that any Option is subject to an Option Agreement Default solely as a result of a failure by the applicable Homeowner(s) to
maintain the required Hazard Insurance Policy with respect to the related Property, and provided that such Property is either (a) in
a first lien position or (b) is located in an area identified by any Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood
insurance is available, Servicer will work through its Sub-Servicer to force place a compliant Hazard Insurance Policy with respect to
such Property. Buyer Agent approves all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Servicer or its Sub-Servicer in connection with any
such force placed Hazard Insurance Policy as an Extraordinary Expense hereunder. Seller will provide a summary of all such Extraordinary
Expenses incurred in connection with force placed Hazard Insurance Policies pursuant to the Monthly Collection Report. The Option Agreement
Default notice requirements of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 do not apply with respect to any Option Agreement Default resulting
solely from a failure of the applicable Homeowner(s) to maintain the required Hazard Insurance Policy with respect to the related Property,
provided that Servicer shall have force placed a compliant Hazard Insurance Policy with respect to the related Property in accordance
with this Section 7.4.
8. Foreclosure
or other Acquisition of Property.
8.1. Pre-Foreclosure
Actions. Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard and subject to the consent and consultation of Buyer Agent, initiate,
pursue and manage foreclosure proceedings and any and all other enforcement remedies which may be brought by Servicer on behalf of Owner
against any Homeowner in default under the terms of the Option Documents. Servicer shall, upon request and at the direction of Buyer
Agent, institute any enforcement actions or proceedings against the Homeowner, either directly or in the name of Owner. Servicer shall
contract for, and pay all reasonable, customary, and necessary costs and expenses for appraisals, environmental audits, management companies,
inspections, title examinations and similar services required or otherwise obtained in connection with any such exercise of remedies
under the Option Documents as directed by Buyer Agent, which costs and expenses shall be reimbursed to Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
Once Servicer shall have initiated the enforcement of any of their rights and remedies under the terms of the Option Documents against
a Homeowner, Servicer shall not, without first obtaining Buyer Agent Consent, (i) communicate with such Homeowner as to make any oral
or written promises, representations, or covenants to such Homeowner who is in default respecting the legal proceedings related to the
default or (ii) accept any payments or other monies with respect to such Option unless such payments are permitted pursuant to the Option
Documents or required to be accepted pursuant to Applicable Law.
8.2. Post-Foreclosure
Actions. If title to a Property is acquired by Owner, for the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders (or designees or nominees
thereof), Servicer shall reasonably manage, operate and attend to the day-to-day operations of the Property (including, without limitation,
the payment of all customary and reasonable expenses necessary for the management and operation thereof, which expenses shall be reimbursed
to Servicer as a Servicing Advance) in accordance with the Servicing Standard and for a reasonable, market, special servicing fee agreed
upon by the Parties, in addition to any Servicing Fees due under this Agreement.
8.3. Expenses.
If Servicer, subject to the consent and consultation of Buyer Agent, takes any enforcement action against Homeowner under the Option
Documents, Buyer Agent shall be responsible for all reasonable and customary costs and expenses incurred by Owner or Servicer in connection
with the exercise and enforcement of all remedies under the Option Documents.
8.4. Cure
of Option Agreement Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the other Program Documents, in the
event of an Option Agreement Default with respect to any Option where the Homeowner cures the applicable Option Agreement Default prior
to liquidation of the Option or sale of the Property, Buyer Agent authorizes and directs Owner to rescind any foreclosure or other remedy
initiated by Owner (whether pursued by or at the direction of Buyer Agent) and authorizes Servicer and the Initial Sub-servicer to not
proceed with such foreclosure proceeding, if applicable.
9. Records
Maintenance. Servicer shall keep such records pertaining to each Option serviced hereunder as may be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer
Agent, and upon request or upon termination of this Agreement, Servicer shall deliver copies thereof to Buyer Agent or its designee;
provided, however, that Servicer may retain copies of all such records solely for the purpose of addressing any subsequent questions
or disputes regarding those Options, but for no other purpose.
10. Other
Servicer Duties. Until such time as the Point Proceeds relating to each Option are paid in full, Servicer shall perform such other
customary duties, furnish such customary reports and execute such other customary documents in connection with its duties hereunder as
Buyer Agent, from time to time, may reasonably require.
11. Strict
Compliance. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, Servicer is not authorized or empowered to waive or vary the terms of any
provision of any of the Option Documents and shall not, at any time, waive or consent to a postponement of strict compliance on the part
of the Homeowner with any term, provision, covenant of the Homeowner contained in any of the Option Documents, without Buyer Agent Consent.
12. Reliance
Upon Counsel. Servicer may retain and consult with legal counsel selected by Servicer in connection with any material questions or
issues which may arise in connection with the rights or remedies under or with respect to an Option or Option Documents, and/or to prosecute
any exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies under the Option Documents and any legal proceedings or actions with respect
to the Option Documents; provided, however, that Servicer shall promptly notify Buyer Agent of the retention of any such counsel and
any fees incurred in connection therewith must be reasonable and customary (and limited to actual out of pocket costs). Servicer shall
be entitled to follow, and shall not be liable for following (to the extent the advice is not defective on its face), the advice of any
such counsel unless the action contemplated thereby requires Buyer Agent Consent and Servicer shall not have obtained Buyer Agent Consent.
Without limitation of the foregoing, Servicer shall not be required to take any enforcement action directed by Buyer Agent with respect
to any Homeowner to the extent Servicer, in reliance on the advice of counsel, determines that such action (a) would materially violate
Applicable Law or (b) would subject Servicer to material liability.
13. Authorized Actions of Servicer.
13.1. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer Agent, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Beneficial Interest Holders,
hereby authorizes Servicer to do and take the following actions in relation to the Option and the Option Documents, all without prior
notice to Buyer Agent and without obtaining prior Buyer Agent Consent:
13.1.1. Servicer
is hereby authorized to execute, on behalf of Owner, any and all Option Documents, organizational documents, payoff statements, closing
statements, certificates, requisitions, and authorizations in connection with the Option Documents, and such other documents and instruments
as may be necessary, desirable, appropriate, requested or required by any Person in connection with the foregoing or otherwise required
in order to consummate the transaction contemplated in the Option Documents, and all escrow instructions, payoff demands, disbursement
instructions, reconveyances, or any other documents deemed reasonably necessary by Servicer in connection with the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent specifically restricted from doing so pursuant to this Agreement.
13.1.2. Subject
to the specific restrictions on the actions of Servicer set forth herein, any manager or any officer on behalf of Servicer is hereby
authorized, directed and empowered, on behalf of Servicer, as servicer for Owner, to (i) enter into, execute, acknowledge and deliver
the Option Documents or any other documents contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) take such actions as shall be necessary, convenient,
desirable or appropriate to perform the obligations of Servicer, as servicer for Owner, under the Option Documents or any other documents
contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) take such further actions as shall reasonably be necessary, proper or advisable in order to
fully carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of the this Agreement.
13.2. Any
and all costs associated with (a) the actions described in Section 13.1.1 including, but not limited to, any notary costs or recording
fees, (b) Ordinary Course Expenses and (c) other reasonable and customary pass-through fees from the Initial Sub-servicer or any other
sub-servicer or subcontractor in connection with the servicing of the Options, shall be borne by Buyer Agent and the Beneficial Interest
Holders, and Servicer is hereby authorized to pass on any such costs incurred by Servicer to Buyer Agent and the Beneficial Interest
Holders (all of which shall constitute Servicing Fees payable to Servicer in accordance with the terms hereof).
14. Financial
Statements.
14.1. Servicer
shall deliver to Buyer Agent, on or before March 31st of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day),
beginning March 31, 2022, an officer’s certificate stating that (a) a review of the activities of Servicer during the preceding
calendar year and of Servicer’s performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision and (b) to
the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, Servicer has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement throughout
such calendar year in all material respects, or, if there has been such a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying
each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being taken by Servicer to cure such default.
14.2. Servicer,
at its expense, shall, within one-hundred twenty (120) days of the end of each fiscal year of Servicer, cause a firm of independent public
accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to Buyer Agent to the
effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records for the preceding fiscal year (or during the period from the date of
commencement of Servicer’s duties hereunder until the end of such preceding fiscal year in the case of the first such certificate).
If pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles or accepted mortgage industry practice, material changes to the requirements
of this Section 14.2 become necessary or desirable in the reasonable good faith judgment of Servicer, the parties agree to negotiate
in good faith to modify the requirements of this Section 14.2.
15. Sub-Servicing
of Options. Subject to and in accordance with (i) Section 3.1.2 of this Agreement and (ii) the Purchase Agreement,
Servicer shall have the right to engage in contracts for the sub-servicing and document custody of any or all of the Options
pursuant to sub-servicing and/or custodial agreements in form and substance acceptable to Servicer using commercially reasonable
judgment and entered into in good faith, which sub-servicing and/or custodial agreements shall enable Servicer to comply with all of
Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the Options which are subject to such sub-servicing agreement
and/or custodial agreement; provided, that, such sub-servicing or custodial agreements shall provide for the payment of
market-standard fees and expenses by Servicer (all of which fees and expenses shall be reimbursed to Servicer by Buyer Agent and the
Beneficial Interest Holders as Servicing Fees in accordance with the terms hereof). Servicer shall not enter into any sub-servicing
agreement or custodial agreement which shall conflict with or prevent Servicer from complying with the terms of any Program Document
with respect to an Option. Servicer shall enforce all material obligations of the sub-servicers under their respective agreements
and shall remain fully liable under this Servicing Agreement for the performance of all of its duties, responsibilities, and actions
hereunder, notwithstanding any agreements Servicer may have directly or indirectly with any sub-servicer. Buyer Agent shall
reimburse to Servicer any fees and expenses paid by Servicer to a sub-servicer or document custodian engaged by Servicer to perform
services with respect to the Options; provided, that with respect to engagement of such party by Servicer, Owner’s Consent
will be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Servicer agrees that it shall not engage any sub-servicer with respect to the
Options if (a) any of the events described in Section 19.2 has occurred with respect to such sub-servicer or (b) any event
described in the definition of Regulatory Trigger Event has occurred with respect to such sub-servicer (or is reasonably likely to
occur if the engagement is undertaken), and, upon the occurrence of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of this
sentence with respect to a previously engaged sub-servicer, Servicer agrees that it shall, upon the request of Buyer Agent,
terminate its agreement with such sub-servicer immediately, and (ii) Buyer Agent shall be permitted to terminate any sub-servicing
agreement with respect to the Options at any time in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
15, Buyer Agent hereby (i) acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the existing sub-servicing agreement between Servicer
and Initial Sub-servicer dated as of April 24, 2023, as amended from time to time, and (ii) approves of such sub-servicing
agreement, the appointment of Initial Sub-servicer pursuant thereto and all fees and expenses payable to Initial Sub-servicer
thereunder.
16. [Reserved].
17. Servicing
Charges. Servicer is entitled to charge to and collect from Homeowners third-party fees and expenses incurred in connection with
servicing requests from Homeowners, according to a schedule of fees and expenses included in the relevant Option Documents. All such
third-party fees and expenses collected by Servicer from Homeowners shall be retained and held for Servicer’s own account, if such
fees were paid by Servicer, or used to repay such third-party.
18. Option
Transfers and Securitization Transactions.
18.1. Buyer
Agent and Servicer agree that with respect to some or all of the Options, Owner, at the direction of Buyer Agent, may effect Option Transfers
or Securitization Transactions and may, if agreed to by Servicer, retain Servicer as Servicer or subservicer thereof. Servicer’s
agreement to such retention in connection with any Option Transfer or Securitization Transaction shall not be unreasonably conditioned,
withheld or delayed, provided that the terms of such retention do not materially and adversely modify any of Servicer’s rights
or interests hereunder, expand Servicer’s obligations hereunder or otherwise conflict with any of the terms of this Section
18. Buyer Agent shall provide the Servicer no less than sixty (60) days’ notice in the event it intends to effect an Option
Transfer or Securitization Transaction. In connection therewith, Buyer Agent shall provide Servicer with a draft Reconstitution Agreement
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed Reconstitution Date, which Reconstitution Agreement shall be on a commercially reasonable
terms and shall be in form and substance acceptable to Servicer in Servicer’s reasonable discretion. On the Reconstitution Date,
the Options transferred shall cease to be serviced under this Agreement; provided, however, that, in the event that any Option transferred
pursuant to this Section 18 is rejected by the transferee or is repurchased by Owner, at the direction of Buyer Agent, Servicer
shall continue to service such rejected or repurchased Option in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Servicer
shall cooperate with Buyer Agent in connection with Option Transfers or Securitization Transactions in accordance with this Section
18. In connection therewith, Servicer shall:
18.1.1. make
all representations and warranties with respect to Servicer itself contained in Section 2.1 as of each Reconstitution Date;
18.1.2. solely
with respect to a Securitization Transaction, to the extent provided for in a Reconstitution Agreement, with respect to any Options that
are subject to a Securitization Transaction in which the filing of a Sarbanes Oxley certification directly with the Securities and Exchange
Commission is required, by March 31st of each year or in connection with any additional Sarbanes-Oxley certification required to be filed,
upon at least thirty (30) days written request to Servicer, an officer of Servicer shall execute and deliver a servicer certification
requested by the entity filing the Sarbanes-Oxley certification directly with the Securities and Exchange Commission (such as Owner,
any master servicer, any trustee or any depositor) for the benefit of such entity and such entity’s Affiliates and the officers
and directors of such entity;
18.1.3. solely
with respect to a Securitization Transaction, Servicer shall provide (a) any and all information and appropriate verification of such
information which may be reasonably available to Servicer relating to Servicer’s foreclosure and delinquency experience, whether
through letters of its auditors and counsel or otherwise, as Buyer Agent shall reasonably request, and (b) such representations, warranties,
covenants, opinions of counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers of Servicer as are reasonably
requested by the trustee, any Rating Agency or Buyer Agent, as the case may be, in connection with such Securitization Transactions,
in each case, which are customary for similarly structured securitizations involving assets similar to the Options; and
18.1.4. solely
with respect to an Option Transfer, to execute and be bound by an assignment, assumption and recognition agreement, assigning all of
the rights, benefits, duties and obligations of Owner, for the benefit of the Beneficial Interest Holders, under this Agreement to a
successor purchaser of some or all of the Options, provided that any such agreement shall be on commercially reasonable terms and in
form and substance acceptable to Servicer in Servicer’s reasonable discretion.
18.2. All
Options not sold or transferred pursuant to Option Transfers or Securitization Transactions shall remain subject to this Agreement and
shall continue to be serviced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with respect thereto this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
18.3. In
the event (a) any Option becomes subject to an Option Transfer or Securitization Transaction, (b) the successor owner engages Servicer,
and Servicer agrees, to be the servicer of such Option for such successor owner and (c) the successor owner agrees to reimburse all accrued
unpaid and future Servicing Fees with respect such Option in a manner consistent with the payment of Servicing Fees under this Agreement
or as otherwise approved in writing by Servicer, then Buyer Agent and the Beneficial Interest Holders shall not have any obligation to
pay Servicer such accrued unpaid Servicing Fees or the applicable Termination Fee with respect to such Option.
18.4. In
the event (a) Servicer is not retained as servicer or subservicer with respect to any Option subject to an Option Transfer or a Securitization
Transaction or (b) the Reconstitution Agreement is not reasonably acceptable to Servicer, Owner shall pay to Servicer, on or before the
related Reconstitution Date for such Option, the applicable Termination Fee for such Option and all other Options included in such Reconstitution;
18.5. Buyer
Agent agrees to reimburse Servicer or to cause Servicer to be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred
by Servicer in connection with performing its duties and obligations in this Section 18 in connection with any Option Transfer
or Securitization Transaction, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses. Without limitation of the foregoing,
in no event shall Servicer be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 18 that would require or result in the incurrence
by Servicer of any material out-of-pocket costs or expenses unless Buyer Agent or the Beneficial Interest Holders shall have paid such
amounts, or made arrangements for the payment of such amounts upon incurrence, in a manner acceptable to Servicer in its reasonable discretion.
18.6. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Owner, at the direction of Buyer Agent, from having a lien and/or security interest
in an Investor SUBI, selling or transferring Options, participation interests, interests in the applicable Investor SUBI, and/or other
beneficial interests in the Options to any other Person in compliance with the terms specified in the other Program Documents; provided,
that unless otherwise terminated, servicing under this Agreement shall continue with respect to the related Options.

Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following:

thereafter.
19.1.2.
Servicer resigning by providing ninety (90) days written notice to Buyer Agent; provided that, unless Buyer Agent is in default under
this Agreement, such notice shall be accompanied by a written offer from a qualified third party servicing agent to service the Options

to obtain at least three bids and thereafter reasonably recommended the best one to Buyer Agent;

terminate all the rights and obligations of Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that as a condition to such termination,
Buyer Agent shall pay to Servicer all accrued Servicing Fees through the date of termination. On or after the receipt by Servicer of

appointed, a “Successor Servicer”) appointed by Buyer Agent.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Servicer will not be in default under this Agreement if it is unable to perform any of its obligations
for a period not longer than sixty (60) days as a result of an act of God, act of war, terrorism, fires, earthquake or other natural
disaster, provided Servicer promptly notifies Buyer Agent of the existence of such conditions (if notice is not prevented by the same)
and uses commercially reasonable efforts to resume the performance of its obligations under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable
after any such event.
19.3. Servicing
Transfer.
19.3.1.
Upon receipt of a Termination Notice and payment to Servicer of all accrued Servicing Fees and, if applicable solely with respect to
any termination of this Agreement or removal of Servicer as the servicer of any Option solely pursuant to Section 19.1.4 or Section
19.1.5, Termination Fees, Servicer shall terminate its activities as servicer hereunder on the “Date of Servicer Termination”
specified in such Termination Notice or, if later, the date on which such accrued Servicing Fees have been paid in full (which may be
a date that is later than the date of the Termination Notice but in any event no more than sixty (60) days after the date of the Termination
Notice (the period from the date of the Termination Notice to the Date of Servicer Termination being referred to as the “Transition
Period”)). During the Transition Period, Servicing Fees shall continue to accrue in accordance with this Agreement and the
Program Agreement, and Servicer shall continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the Date of Servicer Termination,
at which time all Servicing Fees accruing during such Transition Period shall be due and payable. Any transition fees or “deboarding”
fees payable to the Initial Sub-servicer in connection with any transfer of servicing shall be payable by Buyer Agent and the Beneficial
Interest Holders. Servicer agrees to cooperate with Buyer Agent and any Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities
and rights of Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including the transfer to such Successor Servicer of all authority of Servicer
to service the Options provided for under this Agreement, including all authority over all Collections which shall have been deposited
in the Account(s), or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Options. Servicer shall promptly execute and deliver any
and all documents and other instruments reasonably requested by Buyer Agent in connection with the succession by the Successor Servicer,
including any licenses with respect to any licensed software necessary to access the Option Documents and related files, place in the
Successor Servicer’s possession all records related to the Options, including the Option Documents and related files (other than
any such records held by Buyer Agent), and other servicing files.
19.3.2. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary or in any other Program Document to the contrary, Buyer Agent shall also have the right, in Buyer Agent’s
sole discretion, to request a servicing transfer from Servicer to any other third party with respect to any defaulted Option.
19.3.3. Upon
Buyer Agent’s request, after the Transition Period, Servicer shall refer inquiring Homeowners to a telephone number provided by
the Successor Servicer and shall promptly forward all correspondence and payments received by Servicer from any Homeowners to the Successor
Servicer.
20. Servicer’s
Duties at Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement, all the rights and duties of Servicer under this Agreement shall immediately
terminate. Within thirty (30) days of such termination of this Agreement, Buyer Agent shall reimburse Servicer for any and all fees and
advances made pursuant to this Agreement for which Buyer Agent and the Beneficial Interest Holders are responsible hereunder (to the
extent not previously paid as provided in Section 19).
21. Servicer’s
Right to Submit and Execute Demand for Payoff. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Servicer is hereby authorized
and responsible for submitting and executing all demands for payoff, Substitution of Trustee, and Deeds of Reconveyance.
22. Applicable
Law.
22.1. This
Agreement shall be construed under and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including General Obligations Law
§5-1401, but otherwise without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof, while the Option Documents shall be governed
by the laws in the state in which the underlying Property is located or by such other laws as may be specified in the Option Documents.
22.2. Dispute
Resolution.
(a) Mediation.
Any dispute between the Parties under this Agreement or the other Program Documents shall be submitted to mediation at the written election
of either Party, prior to the filing of arbitral proceedings (except when a statute of limitation is about to expire). Within ten (10)
days of that election, Servicer and Buyer Agent shall select one mediator not affiliated with either Party. If, by the end of that ten
(10) day period, Servicer and Buyer Agent cannot agree on a mediator, then each Party shall select a mediator of its choice; and the
two mediators selected by Servicer and Buyer Agent shall select a mediator of their choice not affiliated with either Servicer or Buyer
Agent. Within ten (10) days of being appointed, the mediator(s) selected in accordance with this provision shall mediate between Servicer
and Buyer Agent with the objective of resolving the dispute submitted for mediation.
(b) Arbitration.
In the event the Parties have a dispute under this Agreement or the other Program Documents that cannot be amicably resolved by mediation
or otherwise, upon the mutual agreement of both Parties, the Parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration to JAMS in its
office closest to Palo Alto, California (with all proceedings required to be held there), pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules
and Procedures, and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator,
with respect to any dispute reasonably involving under $1,000,000, and three arbitrators, with respect to any dispute reasonably involving
over $1,000,000. The arbitrator(s) shall provide the Parties with a brief period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) to conduct
discovery. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final, and judgment may exclusively be entered upon it in accordance with
Applicable Law in federal or state courts located in Santa Clara County, California. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature
of the arbitration proceedings, the Award, and the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration
hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge
to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision. The costs of arbitration and reasonable counsel
fees will be borne by the Party determined by the arbitrator to be the non-prevailing Party. If the arbitrator does not make a finding
as to whether a Party is to be considered a prevailing Party, the Parties shall share the costs of arbitration equally and each Party
shall bear its own counsel and other arbitration fees. The Parties agree to be bound by the decision of the arbitrator.
22.3. EACH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT,
THE OTHER PROGRAM DOCUMENTS OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY
AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION
HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO
HEREBY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY
AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
23. Document
Contains Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement and the other Program Documents contain the entire agreement between
the parties hereto and cannot be modified, amended, waived or supplemented in any respect except by an agreement in writing signed by
Servicer, Trust Manager (on behalf of PTT) and Buyer Agent. With respect to PTT, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement
and the Titling Trust Agreement as supplemented by the Investor SUBI Supplements, the terms of the Titling Trust Agreement as supplemented
by the Investor SUBI Supplements shall control. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Program Agreement, the terms
of the Program Agreement shall control. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification
is in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
24. Severability.
If any provisions hereof shall be held or deemed to be or shall in fact be inoperative or unenforceable, such circumstances shall not
render any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. In lieu of
such inoperative or unenforceable term, there shall be added to this Agreement a term that is valid and fully enforceable and as similar,
in purpose and intended effect, to such inoperative or unenforceable term as is reasonably possible.
25. Notices.
It shall be sufficient service of any notice, approval, consent, request or demand, or other communication if the same shall be delivered

Servicer,
Trust Manager (for itself or with respect to PTT) or Buyer Agent may, by written notice given herein, designate any further or different
address to which subsequent notices, approvals, consents, complaints, demands or other communications shall be sent or Persons to whose
attention the same shall be directed.
26. Conflict
of Interest. Servicer shall promptly give prior written notice to Buyer Agent of Servicer’s interest, or the interest of any
Affiliate of Servicer, or employee of Servicer, in and to any ownership interest in any property which is encumbered or to be encumbered
by an Option which is to be serviced under this Agreement, including reasonable detail regarding the relationships and underlying facts,
and such financial interest in the Option must be approved by Buyer Agent Consent prior to the time the Option is to be sold to Owner
and/or serviced under this Agreement.
27. Independent
Contractor. It is understood and agreed that Servicer is an independent contractor and shall use its own officers, equipment, and
employees and shall proceed by such means and in such manner as it deems best to carry out the terms of this Agreement. Further, this
Agreement shall in no way be deemed to vest Servicer with any ownership interest or participation rights in any Option serviced hereunder,
nor shall this Agreement serve to vest Servicer with any interest, right or title to the Property. Nothing herein contained shall constitute
a partnership between or joint venture by the parties hereto or constitute any party the agent of the others. No party shall hold itself
out contrary to the terms of this Section and no party shall become liable by any representation, act or omission of the other contrary
to the provisions hereof. This Agreement is not for the benefit of any third party and shall not be deemed to give any right or remedy
to any such party whether referred to herein or not.
28. Indemnity.
(a) Servicer
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer Agent, the Beneficial Interest Holders and their respective officers, employees and agents
(each of the foregoing an “Indemnified Person”), against any charges, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable
and invoiced attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs of suits), judgments, penalties, liability or losses of any kind or nature
whatsoever, which may be sustained, suffered by, secured against, or imposed upon an Indemnified Person, by reason of (i) a breach of
any of the covenants, representations or warranties made by Servicer herein or by reason of any unauthorized action or failure to act
of Servicer, its agents and employees, in connection with the performance of services and duties in respect to any Option or Options
serviced hereunder, (ii) default by Servicer in the performance of its duties as Servicer under this Agreement, or (iii) Servicer’s
gross negligence, misfeasance, willful misconduct or bad faith. Servicer’s obligations under this Section 28 shall survive
the resignation or removal of Servicer or the termination of this Agreement.
(b) Whenever
any claim of the type that would occasion indemnification under this Section 28 is asserted or threatened against any Indemnified
Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party. Each Indemnified Party shall notify, to the extent it has
actual knowledge thereof, the indemnifying party, within ten (10) days after the occurrence thereof or obtaining knowledge thereof, of
any event, which may give rise or otherwise trigger a right to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 28. The notice shall
include, if known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim, including, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the
liability arising therefrom. A failure to timely give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except
to the extent such failure materially prejudices any defense of claim available to the indemnifying party. In the event of any claim
for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with the claim or legal proceedings of a claimant not an Indemnified Party
to this Agreement, the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its option, at its expense and with its own counsel (which counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation
resulting from such claim or to participate with its own counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party)
in the compromise or defense thereof. If the indemnifying party undertakes to assume the defense of any such claim or litigation or participate
in the compromise thereof, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and, as a condition to the indemnifying
party’s indemnification obligation, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate reasonably with the indemnifying party and its counsel
(but at the sole expense of the indemnifying party) in the defense against or compromise of any such claim or litigation. Anything in
this Section 28 to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnity, the Indemnified Party shall not
compromise or settle any such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and if any Indemnified Party shall have any potential liability with respect to, or
may be adversely affected by, such settlement or compromise, the indemnifying party shall not settle or compromise such claim or litigation
without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party. Any amounts due to a Buyer Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable
on demand.
29. Term.
This Agreement, unless terminated as provided herein, shall remain in effect until Owner’s interest in all the Options serviced
hereunder, including the Property, are paid in full or completely liquidated. All of Servicer’s warranties, representations or
indemnifications made in this Agreement, shall survive the termination of the Agreement and shall remain in effect for one (1) year from
the date of termination of this Agreement. The obligation of Buyer Agent and the Beneficial Interest Holders to pay all accrued Servicing
Fees and Termination Fees shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall continue thereafter until such amounts are paid in
full.
30. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement may be executed by signature(s) transmitted by facsimile or PDF.
31. Modification.
This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by Servicer and Buyer Agent.
Unless otherwise agreed, the Party seeking modification of this Agreement shall be solely responsible for any and all reasonable costs
and expenses that arise in order to modify this Agreement.
32. Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns; provided, that except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no party may assign this Agreement without the written consent
of the other party hereto; provided further, that Buyer Agent may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate
without consent.
33. Third
Party Beneficiaries. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party
hereto or a successor or assign of a party hereto.
34. No
Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Owner, Trust Manager or Buyer Agent, any right, remedy,
power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power
or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided under this Agreement are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
35. Section
Headings. Section headings are for convenient reference only and will not affect the meaning or have any bearing on the interpretation
of any provision of this Agreement.
36. Business
Continuity/Disaster Recovery.
36.1. During
the term of this Agreement, Servicer shall maintain a business continuity plan (“BCP”) that provides for the continuation
of services hereunder if an incident (act or omission) impairs or disrupts Servicer’s obligation to provide the services hereunder.
The BCP includes and shall include procedures and practices with respect to the evaluation by Servicer of the BCP of any agent, subcontractor,
or service provider that is critical to the performance of the services hereunder. Servicer agrees to make a copy of its entire BCP available
for Buyer Agent’s review. Servicer shall maintain and test the BCP at regular intervals (no less frequently than annually) in accordance
with accepted industry practices for BCP testing and shall provide Buyer Agent with results of such regular testing (properly redacted
to maintain the confidential nature of any relevant information provided to such party) at Buyer Agent’s request.
36.2. During
the term of this Agreement, Servicer shall, at its own expense (without reimbursement), maintain a disaster recovery plan in support
of the processing and related functions it performs in respect of its servicing obligations under this Agreement that is designed to
provide for disaster recovery and the resumption of business in the event that a disaster disrupts or impairs its provision of servicing
pursuant to this Agreement. Servicer’s disaster recovery plan shall include, at a minimum, procedures for back-up/restoration of
operating and application software, procedures for the protection of source documentation with respect to the serviced Options; procedures
and third-party agreements for replacement equipment (e.g. computer equipment), and procedures and third-party agreements for off-site
production facilities. Servicer agrees to provide a summary of its disaster recovery plan for Buyer Agent to review upon request. Servicer
agrees to annually test its disaster recovery plan, shall promptly take corrective action as necessary to comply with this Section
36.2 and, upon request, provide a written report thereof to Buyer Agent. Servicer shall promptly notify Buyer Agent of any material
change to Servicer’s disaster recovery plan.
37. Concerning
the UTI Trustee. The parties hereto are put on notice and hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered
on behalf of PTT by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“WSFS”), as UTI Trustee of PTT, not individually or personally
but solely as trustee of PTT, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations,
undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of PTT is made and intended not as a personal representation, undertaking or agreement
of WSFS but is made and intended for the purpose of binding PTT, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability
on WSFS, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein of PTT, all such liability,
if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (d) WSFS has
made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations and warranties made by PTT in this Agreement, and (e)
under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of PTT or be liable for the breach
or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by PTT under this Agreement or any other related
document.

(b) Insurance.

insurance in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, all as customary for insurance typically maintained by banks

form of a certificate of the respective insurer) that such insurance is in full force and effect.
(c) Examination.
The Custodian shall upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice permit (a) inspection during regular business hours
of the Custodian (and subject to its usual charges for such access) by the Buyer Agent (or by its auditors or agents when requested by
the Buyer Agent) of the Option Files, at such place or places where the related Option Files are deposited, and (b) the Buyer Agent (or
its auditors or agents when requested by the Buyer Agent) to make copies of the Option Files. Buyer Agent shall be responsible for any
expenses in connection with such inspection and copying. Any such inspection and copying shall be subject to the procedures of the Custodian.

instruction or direction delivered to the Custodian from the Buyer Agent shall be in writing and executed by an Authorized Representative
and shall be delivered in accordance with Section 13 hereof. The Custodian and the Buyer Agent may agree from time to time to
accept other forms of instruction or direction. Any such instruction or direction delivered pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall
be considered “Proper Instructions.”
(b) Any
of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Exhibit B (an “Authorized Representative”) are authorized,
acting singly, to act for, the Buyer Agent under this Agreement. The specimen signature for each such Authorized Representative of the
Buyer Agent initially authorized hereunder is set forth on Exhibit B. From time to time, the Buyer Agent may, by delivering to
the Custodian a revised exhibit, change the information previously given, but the Custodian shall be entitled to rely conclusively on
the then current Exhibit until receipt of a superseding exhibit.
(c) The
Custodian shall have no obligation to act in accordance with purported instructions to the extent that they conflict with applicable
law or regulations. The Custodian shall not be liable for any loss resulting from a delay while it obtains clarification of any Proper
Instructions.
(d) If,
in performing its duties under this Agreement, the Custodian is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Custodian
may (but shall not be obliged to) request written instructions from the Buyer Agent as to the course of action desired by it. If the
Custodian does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, the Custodian may, but shall be
under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Custodian shall act in accordance with instructions received
from the Buyer Agent in response to such request after such two Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed
itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.
Section
9. Transmission of Option Files. Prior to any shipment of any Option Files or Option Documents hereunder pursuant to the
request of the Buyer Agent, the Buyer Agent shall deliver to the Custodian written instructions as to the method of shipment and
shipper(s) the Custodian is to utilize in connection with the transmission of Option Files or Option Documents in the performance of
the Custodian’s duties hereunder (which instruction shall include, if requested by the Custodian, billing account numbers
maintained by the Customer with such shipper(s) to allow for direct billing of the related charges to Buyer Agent). Buyer Agent
shall arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Custodian’s option, reimburse the
Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian consistent with such instructions) and will maintain such insurance
against loss or damage to Option Files or other loan documents as the Buyer Agent deems appropriate.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it is hereby expressly agreed that in the absence of express written instruction from the Buyer Agent pursuant to the
preceding terms, shipment may be made by the Custodian in any instance by means of any recognized overnight delivery or shipping service
(it being hereby expressly acknowledged that United Parcel Service is one such recognized service, without implied limitation). All costs
and risks of shipment shall be borne by Buyer Agent, and it is hereby expressly agreed that in no event shall the Custodian have any
liability for any losses or damages to any Person, arising out of actions of the Custodian consistent with the instructions of the Buyer
Agent. Any costs of shipment that may be incurred or paid by the Custodian from time to time may be billed by the Custodian to Buyer
Agent on a monthly basis and shall be due and payable when billed.
Section

together with the Custodian’s reasonable expenses (as described below) in connection herewith, shall be solely the obligation of
Buyer Agent. The final form of such Fee Schedule (as amended or modified by the parties) shall be binding upon the parties, whether or
not such Fee Schedule has been executed by the parties.
Buyer
Agent agrees to pay or reimburse to the Custodian upon its request from time to time, any and all reasonable costs, disbursements, expenses
and indemnification amounts (including without limitation reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) paid or incurred by the Custodian,

it under this Agreement).
Any
such fees, expenses and indemnification amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10 shall be due and payable within thirty (30)
days of request by the Custodian to Buyer Agent.

Buyer Agent shall promptly appoint a successor custodian, by written instrument, in duplicate,
which instrument shall be delivered to the Custodian, the Servicer and Sub-servicer (if applicable)
and |
| (ii) | the
Custodian, promptly upon payment of any unpaid fees, expenses and indemnification amounts
due to the Custodian, shall transfer to the successor custodian, as directed, all Option
Files being held by the Custodian under this Agreement. |

Files and to deliver the same to a successor custodian; provided, that if a successor custodian has not accepted custodial responsibilities
within the period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11(a), the Custodian may, at the expense of Buyer Agent, either
(i) deliver all Option Files to the Buyer Agent, or (ii) petition any court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor custodian.
Any and all fees and expenses incurred by the Custodian relating to any such petition shall be paid by the Custodian. The Custodian shall
not be responsible for the fees and expenses of any successor custodian. Upon delivery of the Option Files to any successor custodian
or to the Buyer Agent as provided in this paragraph, all duties and obligations of the Custodian shall cease and terminate. The payment
of all costs and expenses relating to the transfer of the Option Files (including any shipping costs) upon termination shall be the sole
responsibility of Buyer Agent.
(c) The
Buyer Agent may at any time and with notice to Servicer and Sub-servicer (if applicable), without cause remove and discharge the Custodian
from the performance of its duties under this Agreement upon written notice from the Buyer Agent to the Custodian. Such removal shall
take effect upon (i) the appointment of a successor custodian by the Buyer Agent, and (ii) delivery of all the Option Files to the successor
custodian, which delivery shall be subject to, and shall be made promptly after, payment of the Custodian’s unpaid fees, expenses
and indemnification amounts. The payment of such successor custodian’s fees and expenses and all costs and expenses in connection
with such transfer shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer Agent. If a successor custodian is not appointed by the Buyer Agent within
sixty (60) days (or the Buyer Agent otherwise instructs the Custodian that no successor custodian will be appointed), the Custodian may,
at the expense of Buyer Agent, deliver all the Option Files to the Buyer Agent. Upon delivery of the Option Files to the Buyer Agent
as provided in this paragraph, all duties and obligations of the Custodian shall cease and terminate. The payment of all costs and expenses
relating to the transfer of the Option Files (including any shipping costs) upon termination shall be the sole responsibility of the
Buyer Agent.
(d) This
Agreement shall terminate on the date on which the Buyer Agent notifies the Custodian in writing that the Agreement is terminated. Upon
the Custodian’s receipt of both such written termination and the payment of any due and unpaid fees, expenses and indemnification
amounts, the Custodian shall, within a reasonable time, deliver any remaining Option Files to the Buyer Agent or its designee, as directed
by the Buyer Agent and at the Buyer Agent’s expense (including any shipping costs).

Custodian shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement or with respect to the Option Files or the Option
Documents except for such duties, obligations or responsibilities as are expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties,
obligations or responsibilities on its part to be performed, and the duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Custodian shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. No implied duties, obligations or responsibilities shall be read into
this Agreement against, or on the part of, the Custodian. Any permissive right of the Custodian to take any action hereunder shall not
be construed as a duty.
(b) The
Custodian makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible for or required to verify (A) the validity, legality, enforceability,
due authorization, effectiveness, recordability, insurability, sufficiency, value, form, substance, or genuineness of any of the documents
contained in any Option File or (B) the collectability, validity, transferability, insurability, value, effectiveness, perfection, priority
or suitability of any Option File or any document contained therein.
(c) The
Custodian shall have no responsibilities or duties with respect to any Option File while such Option File is not in its possession.
(d) The
Custodian may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, statement, certificate,
request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it in accordance with this Agreement, not
only as to its due execution and validity, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which it in good
faith believes to be genuine and signed or presented by the proper person (which in the case of any instruction from or on behalf of
the Buyer Agent shall be an Authorized Representative). The Custodian shall be entitled to presume the genuineness and due authority
of any signature appearing thereon. The Custodian shall not be bound to make any independent investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any such notice, instruction, statement, certificate, request, waiver, consent, opinion, report, receipt or other paper or
document, provided, however, that if the form thereof is specifically prescribed by the terms of this Agreement, the Custodian shall
examine the same to determine whether it substantially conforms on its face to the requirements set forth herein.
(e) Neither
the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable to anyone for any error of judgment, or for any act done
or step taken or omitted to be taken by it (or any of its directors, officers of employees), or for any mistake of fact or law, or for
anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless such action constitutes gross negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith of the Custodian.
(f) The
Custodian shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within powers conferred upon
it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction received by it in accordance with this Agreement, or omitted to be taken
by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action.
(g) The
Custodian may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel selected in good faith, with respect to any question as to any of the
provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, or any matter relating hereto, and the opinion or advice of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted by the Custodian in good faith in accordance
with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The reasonable costs and expenses of such advice or opinion shall be reimbursed by Buyer
Agent pursuant to Section 10 hereof.
(h) No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Custodian to expend or risk its own funds, take any action hereunder (or omit to take any
action) or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties under this Agreement if it shall have grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory is not assured to it.
(i) The
Custodian may act or exercise its duties or powers hereunder through agents or attorneys, and the Custodian shall not be liable or responsible
for the actions or omissions of any such agent or attorney appointed and maintained with due care.
(j) If
the Custodian shall request instructions from the Buyer Agent with respect to any act, action or failure to act in connection with this
Agreement, the Custodian shall be entitled to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the
Custodian shall have received written instructions from the Buyer Agent without incurring any liability therefor to the Buyer Agent,
or any other Person.
(k) In
no event shall the Custodian or its directors, affiliates, officers, agents and employees be held liable for any lost profits or exemplary,
punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages of any kind resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
hereunder or in connection herewith even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
(l) The
Custodian shall not be deemed to have notice of any fact, claim or demand with respect hereto unless actually known by a Responsible
Officer of the Custodian or unless received (and then only to the extent received) in writing by the Custodian in accordance with Section
13 herein and specifically referencing this Agreement. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Custodian shall have no notice of and shall not be bound by any of the terms and conditions of any other document or agreement unless
the Custodian is a signatory party to that document or agreement.
(m) The
Custodian shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income
taxes with respect to this Agreement, other than in respect of the Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses; shall
be under no obligation to verify the authenticity of any signature on any of the documents received or examined by it in connection with
this Agreement or the authority or capacity of any person to execute or issue such document, except as provided in Section 8 of
this Agreement with respect to Authorized Representatives; shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not any cash amount or payment
has been received by the Buyer Agent or any third person and shall not be required to perform any cash movement functions in relation
to this Agreement; and shall not be required to value or produce a report detailing the value of the Option Files.
(n) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose on the Custodian any duty to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction, other than (i) any

made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations and warranties made by PTT in this Agreement, and (e)
under no circumstances shall WSFS be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of PTT or be liable for the breach
or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by PTT under this Agreement or any other related

and the interest in the Investor SUBI represented thereby.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE
One
DEFINITIONS

(the “Purchase Agreement”), among Point, as seller, depositor and trust manager, PTT, as the buyer, and GB HRP, LLC,

ARTICLE

TRANSFER OF THE INVESTOR SUBI CERTIFICATE
Section
2.01. Transfer of the Investor SUBI Certificate. In consideration of the Transferee’s commitment to pay the related
purchase price to fund the Titling Trust’s purchase of Eligible Options at the Buyer Agent’s direction from time to time
under Article 2 of the Purchase Agreement (the “Transfer Price”), the Transferor does hereby absolutely sell,
transfer, assign, and otherwise convey to the Transferee, without recourse, and the Transferee does hereby purchase and acquire, as
of the date set forth above, all of the following (collectively, the “Assets”):
(i)
all right, title and interest in and to the Investor SUBI Certificate and the interest in the Investor SUBI represented thereby,
including all monies due and paid thereon or in respect thereof;
(ii)
the beneficial rights evidenced thereby in any property that underlies or may be deemed to secure the interest in the Investor SUBI
represented by the Investor SUBI Certificate;
(iii)
all of the Transferor’s rights and benefits, as initial holder of the Investor SUBI Certificate, under the SUBI Trust
Agreement; and
(iv)
all proceeds of the foregoing.
Section
2.02. True Sale. The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer and assignment of the Assets constitute a true sale and
assignment of the Assets such that any interest in and title to the Assets would not be property of the Transferor’s estate in
the event the Transferor becomes a debtor in a case under any bankruptcy law. To the extent that the conveyance of the Assets hereunder
is characterized by a court or similar governmental authority as a financing, it is intended by the Transferor and the Transferee that
the interest conveyed constitutes a first priority grant of a perfected security interest under the UCC as in effect in the State of
New York by the Transferor to the Transferee to secure the security obligations of the Transferor under the Program Documents (as defined
in the Purchase Agreement). The Transferor does hereby grant to the Transferee a security interest in all of its rights, title and privileges
and interest in and to the Assets and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under
all applicable law.
Section
2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Transferor and the Transferee.

State of Delaware, and has power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently
owned and such business is presently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and shall have, power, authority and legal right to
acquire, own and sell the Assets.
(ii) Due
Qualification. The Transferor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business
shall require such qualifications, except where the failure to have any such license, approval or qualification would not have a
material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Transferor or would not have a material adverse effect on
the ability of the Transferor to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(iii) Power
and Authority. The Transferor shall have the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its
terms; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement shall have been duly authorized by the Transferor by all
necessary corporate action.
(iv) Binding
Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Transferor, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and by general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability shall be considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) No
Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Transferor of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof shall not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the
terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the articles of incorporation of

expense, one or more financing statements with respect to the Assets meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner
as necessary to perfect the sale of the Assets to the Transferee and the proceeds thereof (and any continuation statements as are

inconsistent with the Transferee’s ownership of the Assets, and on or prior to the Closing Date indicate on its books, records
and statements that the Assets have been sold to the Transferee.
(c)
If the Transferor makes any change in its jurisdiction of organization (within the meaning of the applicable UCC), name or corporate

misleading within the applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Transferor shall give the Transferee written notice

Perfection
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
In
addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, Point Digital Finance,
Inc., as transferor (the “Transferor”), hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to GB HRP, LLC, as transferee (the
“Transferee”), as follows on the Closing Date:
1.
The SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the
Investor SUBI Certificate in favor of the Transferee, which security interest is prior to all other liens and is enforceable as such
as against creditors of and purchasers from the Transferor.
2.
The Investor SUBI Certificate constitutes a “general intangible,” “instrument,” “certificated security,”
or “tangible chattel paper,” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
3.
The Transferor owns and has good and marketable title to the Investor SUBI Certificate free
and clear of any liens, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges
or levies incurred in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to which any applicable grace period shall
not have expired, or that are being contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established,
but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the lien attaches
is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.
4.
The Transferor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Investor SUBI Certificate
under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement to the Transferee required by the terms of the Investor SUBI Certificate to the extent
that it constitutes an instrument or a payment intangible.
5.
The Transferor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Investor
SUBI Certificate, to the extent that it constitutes a securities entitlement, certificated security or uncertificated security, to the
transfer to the Transferee of its interest and rights in the Investor SUBI Certificate under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement.
6.
The Transferor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the effective date of
the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Investor SUBI Certificate from the Transferor to the Transferee
and the security interest in the Investor SUBI Certificate granted under the SUBI Certificate Transfer Agreement.
7.

paper, all original executed copies of each such instrument or tangible chattel paper have been delivered to the Transferee.
