Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement

One of the borrowing facilities secured by loans held for sale is in the form of a mortgage loan participation purchase and sale
agreement. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in loans that have been pooled into a pending securitization with Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, are sold to the lender pending the securitization of such loans and the sale of the resulting security. The commitment between the Company and a nonaffiliate to sell such security is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.

The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs and a holdback amount. The holdback amount is based on a percentage of the purchase price and is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.

The mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreement is summarized below:
