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

33


 

its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will thereafter compensate Buyer for such reduction.
     If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

     (d) [Reserved].

     (e) Non-Utilization Fee. On a quarterly basis and on each Termination Date, Buyer shall determine the average quarterly utilization during the preceding quarter (or with respect to any Termination Date, during the period from the date through which the last non utilization fee calculation has been made to such Termination Date) by Seller by dividing (a) the sum of the Purchase Prices outstanding on each day during such period, by (b) the number of days in such period. If such average amount determined for any period as a percentage of the then applicable Committed Amount (the “Utilization Percentage”) is less than 60%, Seller shall pay to Buyer on the Payment Date on or immediately succeeding such date of calculation or on such Termination Date, as applicable, a non-utilization fee equal to the product of (i) 0.50% per annum, times (ii) the then applicable Committed Amount, times (iii) 1 minus the Utilization Percentage (the “Non-Utilization Fee”). If the Utilization Percentage in any period is greater than or equal to 60%, Buyer shall not be paid a Non-Utilization Fee for that period. All payments shall be made to Buyer in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, setoff or counterclaim. If such fees remain unpaid for 30 days after Buyer gives written notice of nonpayment to Seller, Buyer may, in its sole discretion net such Non-Utilization Fee from the proceeds of any Purchase Price paid to Seller.
5. TAXES; TAX TREATMENT
     (a) All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on the net income of Buyer by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding; (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (c) deliver to Buyer, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) pay to Buyer such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such Buyer receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.
     (b) In addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).
     (c) Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided

35


 

that Buyer shall have provided Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.
     (d) Any Buyer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia (a “Foreign Buyer”) shall provide Seller with properly completed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Foreign Buyer is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer. Each Foreign Buyer will resubmit the appropriate form on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Foreign Buyer as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which a Foreign Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form or other relevant document pursuant to this Section 5(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Foreign Buyer shall not be entitled to any “gross-up” of Taxes or indemnification under Section 5(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Foreign Buyer, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall, at no cost or expense to Seller, take such steps as such Foreign Buyer shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Buyer to recover such Taxes.
     (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.
     (f) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.
6. MARGIN MAINTENANCE
     (a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate MV Margin Amount for all such Transactions (such event, a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may, by notice to Seller, require Seller in such Transactions to transfer to Buyer cash or, at Buyer’s option (and provided Seller has additional Eligible Assets), additional Eligible Assets (“Additional Purchased Assets”) within the timeframes set forth in Section 6(b), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Assets, including any such Additional Purchased Assets, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate MV Margin Amount (either requirement, a “Margin Call”); provided

36


 

that if Seller transfers cash, Buyer shall apply such cash in reduction of the then outstanding Repurchase Price, such application to occur on the date of receipt by Buyer or, if such receipt occurs after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
     (b) Notice required pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any means provided in Section 21. Any notice given on a Business Day at or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day. Any notice given on a Business Day following 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Section 6, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.
7. INCOME PAYMENTS
     Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset subject to that Transaction, such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income (other than any Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds) received in respect of the Purchased Assets, whether by Buyer, Custodian, Disbursement Agent or any servicer or any other Person, which is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Purchased Assets had not been sold to Buyer; provided that any Income received by Seller while the related Transaction is outstanding shall be deemed to be held by Seller solely in trust for Buyer pending the repurchase on the related Repurchase Date; provided further that Seller shall hold all such Income (other than any Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds) in the Collection Account. Seller shall deposit all Income (other than any Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds) received by it into the Collection Account within three (3) Business Days of Seller’s receipt thereof. Seller shall direct all third party purchasers to deposit directly to the Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account the purchase price and all other amounts that relate to any third party’s purchase from Seller from time to time of Purchased Assets that are subject to Transactions under this Agreement. The Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account Bank shall transfer, on each Business Day, or more often at the discretion of Seller, all amounts held in the Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account to an account designated by Buyer. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred, Buyer shall, as the parties may agree with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its sole discretion), on the Repurchase Date following the date any Income (including any Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds remaining after giving effect to Buyer’s application on such Repurchase Date of amounts that were deposited in the Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account as described in this Section 7) is received by Buyer in the Collection Account or in the Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account (or a servicer on its behalf) either (i) transfer (or permit the servicer or Seller to transfer) to Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction and with respect to any asset of Seller that is no longer subject to a Transaction, or (ii) if (x) a Margin Deficit then exists, or (y) any other Obligations then due

37


 

and owing by Seller to Buyer have not been paid in full, apply the Income payment to reduce the amount, if any, to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Assets sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, (B) any other Obligations then due and owing by Seller to Buyer remain unpaid unless Seller shall transfer to Buyer cash in an amount sufficient to satisfy such Obligations, or (C) if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid.
8. SECURITY INTEREST; BUYER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
     (a) Seller and Buyer intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations and as security for Seller’s, Guarantor’s or any of their respective Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s performance of its obligations (other than the obligations of an Asset Securitization Subsidiary or Guarantor’s obligations in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement) under any agreement (other than an agreement related to Securitization Indebtedness or the Revolving Credit Agreement) by and among any such Person, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates, on the other hand, Seller hereby grants Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising: (i) all Purchased Assets identified on a Transaction Notice delivered by Seller to Buyer and the Custodian from time to time, (ii) any other collateral pledged or otherwise relating to such Purchased Assets, together with all files, material documents, instruments, surveys (if available), certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer records, computer storage media, Loan accounting records and other books and records relating thereto in the possession of Seller or Custodian, (iii) the Records, (iv) the Collection Account, the Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account, all Income relating to such Purchased Assets and all Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds, (v) all Takeout Commitments and Trade Assignments related to the Purchased Assets (including the rights to receive the related Takeout Price and the Related Security as evidenced by such Trade Assignments), (vi) all FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts and VA Loan Guaranty Agreements relating to such Purchased Assets, (vii) all mortgage guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental agencies or otherwise) and any mortgage insurance certificate or other document evidencing such mortgage guaranties or insurance relating to any Purchased Assets and all claims and payments thereunder and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, (viii) all interests in real property collateralizing any Purchased Assets, (ix) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Assets or the related Mortgaged Property and all rights of Seller to receive from any third party or to take delivery of any of the foregoing, (x) any purchase agreements or other agreements, contracts or takeout commitments relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing and all rights to receive documentation relating thereto, (xi) all “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claims”, “deposit accounts”, “documents,” “equipment”, “general intangibles”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”, “letter of credit rights”, and “securities’ accounts” as each

38

     (b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Items (including without limitation, any security interest Seller may have in the Purchased Assets and any other collateral granted by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any other agreement) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Buyer hereunder.
     (c) Seller hereby grants and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to the servicing of the Purchased Assets, if any, and the rights and proceeds related thereto, and in all instances whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising. In addition, Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, further grants and pledges to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights, title and interest in and to all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to the servicing of each of the Purchased Assets, and all Income related to the Purchased Assets received by Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, and all rights to receive such Income, and all products, proceeds and distributions relating to or constituting any or all of the foregoing, and in all instances whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, and together with the pledge of the servicing of the Purchased Assets in this clause (c), the “Related Credit Enhancement”). The Related Credit Enhancement is hereby pledged as further security for Seller’s Obligations to Buyer hereunder.
     (d) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Buyer, and at the sole expense of Seller, Seller will promptly and duly execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Purchased Items and the liens created hereby. Seller also hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statement to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
     (e) Seller shall not (i) reserved, (ii) change its name, identity, form of organization or corporate structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its records with respect to the Purchased Items, or (iii) reincorporate or reorganize under the laws of another jurisdiction unless it shall have given Buyer at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to Buyer all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto as Buyer shall request and taken all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by Buyer to continue its perfected status in the Purchased Items with the same or better priority.
     (f) Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full

39


 

irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, protecting, preserving and realizing upon the Purchased Items and any Related Credit Enhancement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Items and any Related Credit Enhancement, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Items and any Related Credit Enhancement as Buyer at its option may deem appropriate, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives Buyer the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:
     (i) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items and any Related Credit Enhancement and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Buyer for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items and any Related Credit Enhancement whenever payable;
     (ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Items;
     (iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct including, without limitation, to send “goodbye” letters on behalf of Seller and any applicable Servicer and Section 404 Notices on behalf of Buyer; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Buyer may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Items or Related Credit Enhancement as fully and completely as though Buyer were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Buyer’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things which Buyer deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Items and Related Credit Enhancement and Buyer’s Liens

40

          Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
          Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 19 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Items and Related Credit Enhancement.
     (g) The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests in the Purchased Items and Related Credit Enhancement and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Buyer shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     (h) If Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Documents then Buyer may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Seller to Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations.
     (i) Buyer’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Purchased Items and any Related Credit Enhancement in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Buyer deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Buyer nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Purchased Items or any Related Credit Enhancement or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Purchased Items upon the request of Seller or otherwise.
     (j) All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Purchased Items and any Related Credit Enhancement are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
     (k) Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Zero Advance Loans constitute part of the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items pledged pursuant to Section 8(a), the servicing rights of such Zero Advance Loans, if any, constitute part of the Related Credit Enhancement pledged pursuant to Section 8(c), and each constitutes additional pledged collateral in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales. Seller hereby further acknowledges and agrees that in consideration of such pledges, Buyer has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, in each case subject to the terms and

41


 

conditions hereof and thereof, and that Seller has received other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged.

     (a) (i) The Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (provided that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date (determined in accordance with the preceding sentence) in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income then on deposit in the Collection Account and the Third Party Loan Purchase Proceeds Account, and all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise, shall be remitted to and retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer or its designee any and all original papers, Records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in Seller’s possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets, together with any Related Credit Enhancement, shall be deemed transferred to Buyer or its designee.
     (ii) Buyer shall have the right to (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price became due and payable pursuant to

66


 

Section 19(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem to be commercially reasonable for cash or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement if so determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) on a servicing released basis. Buyer may purchase any or all of the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement if so determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) at any public or private sale. Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for any amounts that remain owing to Buyer following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement if so determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; fourth to all other Obligations; and fifth shall be paid to Seller.

     (iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit Enhancement) on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit Enhancement) may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit Enhancement), the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit Enhancement) does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset (or any Related Credit Enhancement) and nothing contained herein shall obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Asset (or any Related Credit Enhancement) on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets (or any Related Credit Enhancement) in the same manner or on the same Business Day or constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.
     (v) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Buyer arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) or any other Purchased Items shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least two (2) days before such sale or other disposition.

67


 

     (b) Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller to which Seller pledges its full faith and credit. In addition to its rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Buyer, any of Buyer’s Affiliates or their respective designees (including the Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) and Additional Purchased Assets, any other Purchased Items and their proceeds and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Seller against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.
     (c) Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request.
     (d) Buyer shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Buyer determines appropriate. Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and by law, have all rights and remedies specified in Section 43.
     (e) Buyer shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) and any other Purchased Items or any portion thereof, and do anything that Buyer is authorized hereunder or by law to do. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver.
     (f) [Reserved].
     (g) In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, Buyer shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser or a secured party, as applicable, under the Uniform Commercial Code.
     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.

68


 

     Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, arising from use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) and any other Purchased Items or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.
     After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets (including any Related Credit Enhancement) to be deposited with such Person as Buyer may direct after receipt thereof.
20. DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE
     No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Buyer of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of Buyer provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Buyer to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. Buyer may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies, as they so desire, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies.
21. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for notices given by Seller under Section 3(a) (which shall be effective only on receipt), all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telex, telecopier or email or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.
22. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS
     No assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code shall be used by either party hereto in a Transaction.

In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Asset (including any Related Credit Enhancement) for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Asset (including any Related Credit Enhancement), Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel, provided, however, Seller’s obligations to pay for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to an Indemnified Party shall be limited to the fees and disbursements of one law firm (plus the fees and disbursements of any reasonably necessary local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties. Seller hereby acknowledges that all Obligations of Seller under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller. Buyer agrees not to assert any claims for indemnity pursuant to this Section 23(a) and Seller shall not be required to indemnify Buyer, for any claims arising out of or related to Buyer’s actions or failure to act in connection with any rehypothecation of Purchased Mortgage Loans by Buyer pursuant to Section 38.

From and after the date of such assignment, Seller shall be responsible for indemnifying any such assignee in accordance with this Section 23(a).

Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (i) all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer, provided, however, Seller’s obligations to pay for the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer shall be limited to the fees, disbursements and expenses of one law firm (plus the fees and disbursements of any reasonably necessary local counsel) and (ii) all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Purchased Items (including any Related Credit Enhancement) under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 23, 39 and 44, provided that, subject to the proviso in the last sentence of Section 44, Seller’s obligation to reimburse Buyer for due diligence review costs pursuant to this Section 23, shall not exceed, in the aggregate with the Due Diligence Costs, the Due Diligence Cap. Seller also agrees not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.
     (c) If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Buyer. No such payment by Buyer shall be deemed a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights under the Program Documents.
     (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 23 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts payable hereunder and delivery of the Purchased Assets by Buyer against full payment therefor.
24. WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS
     Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Items as a result of restrictions upon Buyer or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that it may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Items shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.

71


 

25. REIMBURSEMENT

     (c) no joint venture exists among or between Buyer and Seller.
38. HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ITEMS.
     Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Assets and Purchased Items and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Assets and Purchased Items or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Assets and Purchased Items, in all cases subject to Buyer’s obligation to reconvey the Purchased Assets (and not substitutes therefor) on the Repurchase Date. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Assets or Purchased Items delivered to Buyer by Seller.
39. ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS.
     (a) Seller may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder only with the prior written consent of Buyer. Buyer may assign or transfer to any bank or other financial institution or entity that makes or invests in repurchase agreements or loans all or any of its rights under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, with the consent of Seller which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such consent shall not be required if Buyer assigns its rights and obligations (i) to an Affiliate of Buyer or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, provided, further, that Buyer shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee, specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing.
     (b) Buyer may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more entities (“Participants”) participating interests in this Agreement, its agreement to purchase Assets, or any other interest of Buyer hereunder and under the other Program Documents.

Seller agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Buyer under this Agreement; provided, that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of set-off if it

75


 

shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its participating interest to share with Buyer the proceeds thereof. Buyer also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3(f), 3(k), 23 and 25 with respect to its participation in the Assets and Purchased Items outstanding from time to time; provided, that Buyer and all Participants shall be entitled to receive no greater amount in the aggregate pursuant to such Sections than Buyer would have been entitled to receive had no such transfer occurred.

40. SINGLE AGREEMENT
     Seller and Buyer acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, Seller and Buyer each agree (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transaction hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.
41. INTENT
     (a) Seller and Buyer recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, and that the pledge of the Related Credit Enhancement in Section 8(c) hereof is intended to constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.
     (b) It is understood that Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 19 is a contractual right to liquidate,

76


 

accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     (c) The parties hereby agree that all Servicing Agreements and any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the Purchased Assets shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 101(47)(a)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and part of the “contract” as such term is used in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code.
42. CONFIDENTIALITY
     (a) The Program Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by Seller in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions, (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body, (iii) disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any interest rate protection agreement, (iv) any disclosures or filing required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws or (v) such other circumstances as are reasonably within the discretion of a public company in order to meet its corporate obligations; provided that in the case of (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) Seller shall take reasonable actions to provide Buyer with prior written notice.
     (b) Buyer agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by Seller or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to this Agreement or any other Program Document that is designated by such Person as confidential and such information shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) except for (i) disclosure to Buyer’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions, (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body, (iii) disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any interest rate protection agreement, (iv) any disclosures or filing required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws or (v) such other circumstances as are reasonably within the discretion of a public company in order to meet its corporate obligations; provided that in the case of (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) Buyer shall take reasonable actions to provide Seller with prior written notice.
     (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Seller Confidential Information”). Buyer understands that the Seller Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”), and Buyer agrees

77


 

to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.
     (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of each party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, tax treatment and tax structure shall not include (i) the identity of any existing or future party (or any Affiliate of such party) to this Agreement or (ii) any specific pricing information or other commercial terms, including the amount of any fees, expenses, rates or payments arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that this Agreement may be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided that, Seller shall redact any pricing and other confidential provisions, including, without limitation, the amount of any Renewal Commitment Fee, Non-Usage Fee, Price Differential and Purchase Price from such filed Agreement.
43. SERVICING
     (a) Buyer hereby designates Seller to service each Purchased Asset as Servicer for a term of sixty (60) days following the related Purchase Date of such Purchased Asset, which term is renewable at the sole discretion of Buyer for subsequent sixty (60) day periods (or such other period agreed to by Buyer) upon written direction of Buyer. During such time that Seller is servicing the Purchase Assets, Seller shall service the Purchased Assets for the benefit of or on behalf of Buyer, provided, however, that the obligation of Seller to service any such Purchased Asset for the benefit of or on behalf of Buyer as aforesaid shall cease upon the payment to Buyer of the Repurchase Price thereof. Seller covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Purchased Assets to be maintained in conformity with Accepted Servicing Practices. In the event that this Agreement is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of: (i) the termination thereof by Buyer pursuant to subsection (d) below, (ii) sixty (60) days or such other period after the initial sixty (60) day period as Buyer may agree in writing in its sole discretion after the Purchase Date of such Purchased Asset, (iii) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, (iv) the date on which all the Obligations have been paid in full or (v) the transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity.
     (b) In the event Buyer forecloses upon or exercises any other remedies with respect to any Related Credit Enhancement pursuant to Section 19, Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer or Buyer’s designee any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of such Assets (the “Servicing Records”), together with the physical and contractual servicing of the Purchased Assets, in each case whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, to secure the Obligations of Seller or its designee in conformity with this Section 43 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Seller covenants to hold such Servicing Records and safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) as required by this Agreement. It is

78


 

understood and agreed by the parties that prior to expiration, termination or non-renewal of the related servicing term pursuant to Section 43(a), Seller shall retain the servicing fees with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller shall deliver, or shall cause the related Servicer or Subservicer to deliver, the Related Credit Enhancement for each Purchased Asset to Buyer or such other successor servicer as may be designated by Buyer upon the expiration, termination or non-renewal of the related servicing term pursuant to Section 43(a). With respect to the Servicing Records and the physical and contractual servicing of the Purchased Assets relating to any Transaction, Seller shall deliver or cause the related Servicer or Subservicer to deliver, such Servicing Records and, to the extent applicable, physical servicing to the designee of Buyer, upon the expiration, termination or non-renewal of the related servicing term pursuant to Section 43(a), unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer. Seller’s transfer of the Related Credit Enhancement under this Section shall be in accordance with customary standards in the industry and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of escrows held for the related mortgagors (without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”).
     (c) If any Loans are serviced by any other third party servicer (such third party servicer, the “Subservicer”) Seller shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement with a properly executed Instruction Letter to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Purchase Date or the date on which the Subservicer shall begin subservicing such Loans which shall be in the form and substance acceptable to Buyer (the “Servicing Agreement”) and shall have obtained the written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice such Loans.
     (d) Buyer may, in its sole discretion if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) sell the Purchased Assets without payment of any termination fee or any other amount to Seller and (ii) sell on a servicing released basis any Purchased Assets being serviced by a Subservicer (approved pursuant to Section 43(c)) without payment of any termination fee or any other amount to Seller but subject to the rights of such Subservicer. Buyer agrees not to direct or otherwise contact any such Subservicer absent a determination in good faith by Buyer that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Unless a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Buyer shall not exercise or attempt to exercise any such rights to service the Purchased Assets, including contacting Mortgagors or Subservicers or taking possession of the related Records, or exercise Seller’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets under the related servicing agreement. Upon the expiration of the servicing term or the termination or non-renewal of Seller as Servicer of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Section 43(a), or as otherwise provided hereunder, Seller shall transfer such servicing with respect to such Purchased Assets to Buyer or any successor Servicer designated by Buyer, at no cost or expense to Buyer. In addition, Seller shall provide to Buyer an Instruction Letter from Seller to the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may terminate any Subservicer or Servicing Agreement and direct that collections with respect to the Loans be remitted in accordance with Buyer’s instructions. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with the transfer of servicing.
     (e) [Reserved].
     (f) Seller shall permit Buyer to inspect upon reasonable prior written notice at a mutually convenient time, Seller’s or its Affiliate’s servicing facilities, as the case may be, for

79


 

the purpose of satisfying Buyer that Seller or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service the Loans as provided in this Agreement. In addition, with respect to any Subservicer which is not an Affiliate of Seller, Seller shall use its best efforts to enable Buyer to inspect the servicing facilities of such Subservicer.

     Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to Seller and the Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants and specifications made hereunder or under any other Program Document, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice to Seller (provided that upon the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or an Event of Termination, no such prior notice shall be required), Buyer, Custodian or their respective officers, employees, agents, contractors or other authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, make copies of, and make extracts of, the Mortgage Files, the Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to Seller and its Properties, business, affairs, finances and accounts, or such Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial, accounting, servicing or other officer having relevant knowledge for the purpose of answering questions respecting Seller’s Properties, business, affairs, finances and accounts, the Mortgage Files, the Servicing Files and any other document relating thereto and any other Purchased Asset sold to Buyer hereunder. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause its independent certified public accountants to discuss such matters with Buyer. Seller shall be permitted to have a representative in attendance at such meetings with Seller’s accountants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer shall purchase Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right, at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports, new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. In addition, Buyer has the right to perform continuing Due Diligence Reviews of Seller and its Affiliates, directors, and their respective Subsidiaries and the officers, employees and significant shareholders thereof. Seller and Buyer further agree that all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 44 shall be paid by Seller (together with all other due diligence costs set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, Sections 23 and 25, the “Due Diligence Costs”), in the aggregate with all other due diligence review costs incurred by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, not to exceed the Due Diligence Cap, provided that the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply (i) to such expenses incurred after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or an Event of Termination, (ii) to such expenses incurred before the Restatement Effective Date or (iii) any additional Due Diligence Costs incurred by Buyer, as

80


 

mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Seller, as a result of any unsatisfactory results, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, of any due diligence review.

81


 

45. SET-OFF
     In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by this Agreement and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than pursuant to any Securitization Indebtedness or the Revolving Credit Agreement or to the credit of an Asset Securitization Subsidiary or to the Guarantor in its capacity as Borrower under the Revolving Credit Agreement). Buyer may set-off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of any Purchased Items and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or its Affiliates to Seller or any of Seller’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than pursuant to any Securitization Indebtedness or the Revolving Credit Agreement or owed to an Asset Securitization Subsidiary or to the Guarantor in its capacity as Borrower under the Revolving Credit Agreement) against any and all of Seller’s and any of Seller’s Subsidiary’s or Affiliate’s, obligations to Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than an Asset Securitization Subsidiary or the Guarantor in its capacity as Borrower under the Revolving Credit Agreement) and Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (other than with respect to any Securitization Indebtedness or the Revolving Credit Agreement), or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
46. COMMITTED FACILITY
     (a) If (i) an event described in Section 9(b)(viii) occurs, (ii) Seller shall not have previously agreed to pay to Buyer an increased Pricing Rate to cover Buyer’s increased costs arising out of or relating to or resulting from such event, and (iii) Buyer shall determine, solely based on such event and in its sole discretion, whether pursuant to such event being classified as a condition precedent to a Transaction or otherwise, to no longer enter into future Transactions, (x) Buyer shall remit to Seller the pro rata portion of the Renewal Commitment Fee paid by Seller for the portion of such term of the Repurchase Agreement during which Buyer shall have determined to no longer enter into future Transactions and (y) such date of determination shall be deemed the “Termination Date” for the purpose of calculating the Non-Utilization Fee at such time which shall be the final Non-Utilization Fee due and owing hereunder.

82


 

     (b) If an event described in Section 3(f) or 3(k) occurs and Seller shall determine, solely based on such event and in its sole discretion, to no longer enter into future Transactions as a result of such increased costs, (i) Buyer shall remit to Seller the pro rata portion of the Renewal Commitment Fee paid by Seller for the portion of such term of the Repurchase Agreement during which Seller shall have determined to no longer enter into future Transactions and (ii) such date of determination shall be deemed the “Termination Date” for the purpose of calculating the Non-Utilization Fee at such time which shall be the final Non-Utilization Fee due and owing hereunder.
47. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF ORIGINAL AGREEMENT; NO NOVATION
     (a) Reserved.
     (b) As of the date first written above, the terms and provisions of the Original Agreement as amended and restated shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
     (c) Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, any amounts owing to the Buyer under the Original Agreement whether on account of Transactions or otherwise which remain outstanding as of the date hereof, shall constitute Obligations owing hereunder. This Agreement is given in substitution for the Original Agreement, and not as payment of the obligations of the Seller thereunder, and is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the Original Agreement.
     (d) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement on the date first written above, unless the context otherwise requires, each reference to the Original Agreement in any of the Program Documents and in each document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Except as expressly modified as of the date hereof, all of the other Program Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
48. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
     This Agreement and the other Program Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and thereto and supersede any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided for herein and therein. No alteration, waiver, amendments, or change or supplement hereto shall be binding or effective unless the same is set forth in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party hereto.

ANNEX I
BUYER ACTING AS AGENT
     This Annex I forms a part of the Third Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of June 24, 2011 (the “Agreement”) between PHH Mortgage Corporation and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc. This Annex I sets forth the terms and conditions governing all transactions in which Buyer selling assets or buying assets, as the case may be (“Agent”), in a Transaction is acting as agent for one or more third parties (each, a “Principal”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
1.   Additional Representations. Agent hereby makes the following representations, which shall continue during the term of any Transaction: Principal has duly authorized Agent to execute and deliver the Agreement and the other Program Documents on its behalf, has the power to so authorize Agent and to enter into the Transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the other Program Documents and to perform the obligations of Buyer under such Transactions, and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution and delivery by Agent and such performance by it.
 
2.   Identification of Principals. Agent agrees (a) to provide the other party, prior to the date on which the parties agree to enter into any Transaction under the Agreement, with a written list of Principals for which it intends to act as Agent (which list may be amended in writing from time to time with the consent of the other party) and (b) to provide the other party, before the close of business on the next business day after orally agreeing to enter into a Transaction, with notice of the specific Principal or Principals for whom it is acting in connection with such Transaction. If (i) Agent fails to identify such Principal or Principals prior to the close of business on such next business day or (ii) the other party shall determine in its sole discretion any Principal or Principals identified by Agent are not acceptable to it, the other party may reject and rescind any Transaction with such Principal or Principals, return to Agent any Purchased Assets or portion of the Purchase Price, as the case may be, previously transferred to the other party and refuse any further performance under such Transaction, and Agent shall immediately return to the other party any portion of the Purchase Price or Purchased Assets, as the case may be, previously transferred to Agent in connection with such Transaction; provided, however, that (A) the other party shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) notify Agent of its determination to reject and rescind such Transaction and (B) to the extent that any performance was rendered by any party under any Transaction rejected by the other party, and such party shall remain entitled to any Price Differential or other amounts that would have been payable to it with respect to such performance if such Transaction had not been rejected. The other party acknowledges that Agent shall not have any obligation to provide it with confidential information regarding the financial status of its Principals; Agent agrees, however, that it will assist the other party in obtaining from Agent’s Principals such Information regarding the financial status of such Principals as the other party may reasonably request.

Annex I-1


 

3.   Limitation of Agent’s Liability. The parties expressly acknowledge that if the representations of Agent under the Agreement, including this Annex I, are true and correct in all material respects during the term of any Transaction and Agent otherwise complies with the provisions of this Annex I, then (a) Agent’s obligations under the Agreement shall not include a guarantee of performance by its Principal or Principals; provided that Agent shall remain liable for performance pursuant to Section 10 of the Agreement, and (b) the other party’s remedies shall not include a right of setoff in respect of rights or obligations, if any, of Agent arising in other transactions in which Agent is acting as principal.
 
4.   Multiple Principals.
(a) In the event that Agent proposes to act for more than one Principal hereunder, Agent and the other party shall elect whether (i) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions entered into on behalf of separate Principals or (ii) to aggregate such Transactions as if they were transactions by a single Principal. Failure to make such an election in writing shall be deemed an election to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of a single Principal.
(b) In the event that Agent and the other party elect (or are deemed to elect) to treat Transactions under the Agreement as transactions on behalf of separate Principals, the parties agree that (i) Agent will provide the other party, together with the notice described in Section 2(b) of this Annex I, notice specifying the portion of each Transaction allocable to the account of each of the Principals for which it is acting (to the extent that any such Transaction is allocable to the account of more than one Principal); (ii) the portion of any individual Transaction allocable to each Principal shall be deemed a separate Transaction under the Agreement; (iii) the margin maintenance obligations of Seller under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall be determined on a Transaction by Transaction basis (unless the parties agree to determine such obligations on a Principal by Principal basis); and (iv) Buyer’s remedies under the Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if Agent had entered into a separate Agreement with the other party on behalf of each of its Principals.
(c) In the event that Agent and the other party elect to treat Transactions under the Agreement as if they were transactions by a single Principal, the parties agree that (i) Agent’s notice under Section 2(b) of this Annex I need only identify the names of its Principals but not the portion of each Transaction allocable to each Principal’s account; (ii) the margin maintenance obligations of Seller under Section 6(a) of the Agreement shall, subject to any greater requirement imposed by applicable law, be determined on an aggregate basis for all Transactions entered into by Agent on behalf of any Principal; and (iii) Buyer’s remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be determined as if all Principals were a single Buyer.

Annex I-2


 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement (including, without limitation, this Annex I), the parties agree that any Transactions by Agent on behalf of an employee benefit plan under ERISA shall be treated as Transactions on behalf of separate Principals in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Annex I (and all margin maintenance obligations of the parties shall be determined on a Transaction by Transaction basis).
5.   Interpretation of Terms. All references to “Buyer” in the Agreement shall, subject to the provisions of this Annex I (including, among other provisions, the limitations on Agent’s liability in Section 3 of this Annex 1), be construed to reflect that (i) each Principal shall have, in connection with any Transaction or Transactions entered into by Agent on its behalf, the rights, responsibilities, privileges and obligations of a “Buyer”, directly entering into such Transaction or Transactions with the other party under the Agreement, and (ii) Agent’s Principal or Principals have designated Agent as their sole agent for performance of Buyer’s obligations to Seller and for receipt of performance by Seller of its obligations to Buyer in connection with any Transaction or Transactions under the Agreement (including, among other things, as Agent for each Principal in connection with transfers of Assets, securities, cash or other property and as agent for giving and receiving all notices under the Agreement). Both Agent and its Principal or Principals shall be deemed “parties” to the Agreement and all references to a “party” or “either party” in the Agreement shall be deemed revised accordingly.

Annex I-3


 

Schedule 1-A
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE: ASSETS
     As to each Asset that is subject to a Transaction hereunder (and the related Mortgage, Note, Assignment of Mortgage and Mortgaged Property), Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the Purchase Date and as of each date such Asset is subject to a Transaction:
I. Eligible Loans
     (a) Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Asset Schedule, the Undocumented Loan Schedule, the Correspondent Loan Schedule and the Wet Loan Schedule, as applicable, with respect to the Loan is complete, true and correct in all material respects.
     (b) Payments Current. The first Monthly Payment shall have been made prior to the second scheduled Monthly Payment becoming due.
     (c) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage securing the Loan, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan, whichever is more recent, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest thereunder.
     (d) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the title insurance policy, and its terms are reflected on the Asset Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Asset Schedule.
     (e) No Defenses. The Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Loan was originated.

Schedule 1-A-1


 

     (f) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines and the Agency Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. 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 Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums due and owing on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect. Seller has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.
     (g) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, all applicable predatory and abusive lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing of such Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, if such violation or noncompliance would (i) reasonably be expected (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) have a material and adverse effect on the value of such Mortgage Loan or (iii) prevent

Schedule 1-A-2


 

the sale of such Mortgage Loan to an Agency or otherwise in the secondary market, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall deliver to Buyer, upon two Business Days’ request, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.
     (h) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission other than in the case of a release of a portion of the land comprising a Mortgaged Property or a release of a blanket Mortgage which release will not cause the Loan to fail to satisfy the Underwriting Guidelines. Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.
     (i) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached or attached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, or a townhome, provided, however, that any condominium unit, planned unit development, attached single family residence or townhome shall conform with the applicable Agency requirements regarding such dwellings, that a de minimis percentage of the Loans may be Cooperative Loans and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, however, if such Loan satisfies the Agency Guidelines, no more than 30% of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes.
     (j) Valid Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Loan on the real property included in the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing and with respect to Cooperative Loans, including the Proprietary Lease and the Cooperative Shares. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:
     (1) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;
     (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and
     (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the

Schedule 1-A-3


 

Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each Loan on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.
     (k) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. All parties to the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Loan and to execute and deliver the Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. The related Note shall not have been extinguished under relevant state law in connection with a judgment of foreclosure or foreclosure sale or otherwise.
     (l) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no further requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Note or Mortgage.
     (m) Ownership. Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Loan. All Loans acquired by Seller from third parties (including affiliates) were acquired in a true and legal sale pursuant to which such third party sold, transferred, conveyed and assigned to Seller all of its right, title and interest in, to and under such Loan and retained no interest in such Loan. In connection with such sale, such third party received reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration and, in accordance with GAAP and for federal income tax purposes, reported the sale of such Loan to Seller as a sale of its interests in such Loan. The Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer, pledge and assign the Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, other than an encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest that will be released simultaneously with payment of the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to assign, transfer and pledge each Loan

Schedule 1-A-4


 

pursuant to this Agreement and following the pledge of each Loan, Buyer will hold such Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
     (n) Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state or (D) not doing business in such state.
     (o) LTV. As of the date of origination of the Loan, the LTV and CLTV (if applicable) are as identified on the Asset Schedule.
     (p) Title Insurance. The Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in paragraph (j) of this Schedule 1, and in the case of Adjustable Rate Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including, without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. The Seller has in its possession either the original policy of title insurance (or a commitment for title insurance, if the policy is being held by the title insurance company pending recordation of the Mortgage) or an attorney’s opinion of title.

Schedule 1-A-5


 

     (q) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
     (r) No Mechanics’ Liens. At origination, there were no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with the lien of the Mortgage.
     (s) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation.
     (t) Origination; Payment Terms. To the extent required, the Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Monthly Payments on the Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Loan. The Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted, with respect to Adjustable Rate Loans, on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. With respect to each Loan that is not an Interest Only Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which installments of interest, with respect to an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Asset fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than forty (40) years from commencement of amortization.
     (u) Customary Provisions. The Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
     (v) Conformance with Underwriting Guidelines, Agency Guidelines and Agency Standards. Either the Loan was underwritten in Strict Compliance with the Agency Guidelines

Schedule 1-A-6


 

or is a Jumbo A Credit Loan. The Loan was underwritten in Strict Compliance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. The Note and Mortgage are on forms similar to those used by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae and Seller has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used.
     (w) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is either vacant or lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received written notification from any governmental authority that the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. Except as otherwise set forth in the Asset Schedule, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence.
     (x) No Additional Collateral. The Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above.
     (y) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Custodian or Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.
     (z) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. If the Loan is a Dry Loan, the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage (other than for a MERS Loan) and any other documents required to be delivered under the Applicable Custodial Agreement for each Loan have been delivered to the Custodian. Seller is in possession of a complete, true and materially accurate Mortgage File in compliance with the Applicable Custodial Agreement, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian.
     (aa) Transfer of Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
     (bb) Due-On-Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

Schedule 1-A-7


 

with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.
     (dd) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the origination of the Loan have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Loan.
     (ee) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. The Mortgaged Property (and with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Cooperative Unit) is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Loan or the use for which the premises were intended and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings.
     (ff) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits: Interest Rate Adjustments. The origination and collection practices used by the originator, each servicer of the Loan and Seller with respect to the Loan have been in all material respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Note. All Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly paid and credited.
     (gg) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to Adjustable Rate Loans, the Loan is not convertible to a fixed interest rate Loan.
     (hh) Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any such insurance, no improper commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be received by Seller or by any officer, director, or employee of Seller or any designee of

Seller or any corporation in which Seller or any officer, director, or employee had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance.

     (jj) Appraisal. Except where the Agency Guidelines exempt certain Eligible Loans from this requirement, the Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Loan application by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by Seller or the Qualified Originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Loan was originated. All Property inspections were conducted in a manner consistent with the Agency Guidelines.

     (ll) Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.
     (mm) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether or not known to Seller on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of Seller, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial inability to pay.
     (nn) Capitalization of Interest. The Note does not by its terms provide for the capitalization or forbearance of interest.
     (oo) No Equity Participation. No document relating to the Loan provides for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property. The indebtedness evidenced by the Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged

Property or the Mortgagor and Seller has not financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor.
     (pp) Withdrawn Loans.

In consideration of, and as a condition to, furnishing you with such information and any other information (whether communicated in writing or communicated orally) delivered to you by Buyer or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents or “controlling persons” (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) (such affiliates and other persons being herein referred to collectively as Buyer “Representatives”) in connection with the consideration of a Transaction (such information being herein referred to as “Evaluation Material”), Buyer hereby requests your agreement as follows:
     1. The Evaluation Material will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction with Buyer involving you or your affiliates, and unless and until you have completed such Transaction pursuant to a definitive agreement between you or any such affiliate and Buyer, such Evaluation Material will be kept strictly confidential by you and your affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents or controlling persons (such affiliates and other persons being herein referred to collectively as “your Representatives”), except that the Evaluation Material or portions thereof may be disclosed to those of your Representatives who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction with Buyer (it being understood that prior to such disclosure your Representatives will be informed of the confidential nature of the Evaluation Material and shall agree to be bound by this Agreement). You agree to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by your Representatives.
     2. The term “Evaluation Material” does not include any information which (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally known by the public (other than as a result of its disclosure by you or your Representatives) or (ii) was or becomes available to you on a nonconfidential basis from a person not otherwise bound by a confidential agreement with Buyer or its Representatives or is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to you. As used in this Agreement, the term “person” shall be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation, any corporation, company, joint venture, partnership or individual.
     3. In the event that you receive a request to disclose all or any part of the information contained in the Evaluation Material under the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, you agree to (i) immediately notify Buyer and Seller of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request, (ii) consult with Seller on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request, and (iii) if disclosure of such information

is required, exercise your best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.
     4. Unless otherwise required by law in the opinion of your counsel, neither you nor your Representative will, without our prior written consent, disclose to any person the fact that the Evaluation Material has been made available to you.
     5. You agree not to initiate or maintain contact (except for those contacts made in the ordinary course of business) with any officer, director or employee of Seller regarding the business, operations, prospects or finances of Seller or the employment of such officer, director or employee, except with the express written permission of Seller.
     6. You understand and acknowledge that Seller is not making any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Evaluation Material or any other information provided to you by Buyer. None of Seller, its respective affiliates or Representatives, nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons (within the meaning of the 1934 Act) shall have any liability to you or any other person (including, without limitation, any of your Representatives) resulting from your use of the Evaluation Material.
     7. You agree that neither Buyer nor Seller has granted you any license, copyright, or similar right with respect to any of the Evaluation Material or any other information provided to you by Buyer.
     8. If you determine that you do not wish to proceed with the Transaction, you will promptly deliver to Buyer all of the Evaluation Material, including all copies and reproductions thereof in your possession or in the possession of any of your Representatives.
     9. Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to Seller, Seller shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction if you or any of your Representatives breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement. You agree to waive, and to cause your Representatives to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The parties agree that Seller is an intended, third party beneficiary of this letter agreement and is entitled to rely upon all rights, representations, warranties, and covenants made by you herein to the same extent as if Seller were a party hereunder with the right to enforce the terms of this letter agreement against you and Buyer.
     10. The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be fully performed therein (excluding the conflicts of law rules).
