2. Without limiting the foregoing, Joining Seller agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay the Repurchase Price applicable to its Purchased Loan on the Repurchase Date therefor and perform and pay all of the other Repurchase Obligations applicable to such Joining Seller and such Purchased Loan as if it were an original party to the Repurchase Agreement and

In furtherance of the foregoing, Joining Seller shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, at any time and from time to time, such further instruments and documents, and shall do or cause to be done such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of Buyer to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Joinder Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement.

4. The Existing Seller and Joining Seller acknowledge and agree that, except as modified by this Joinder Agreement, the Repurchase Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents remains unmodified and in full force and effect and all of the terms, covenants and conditions thereof are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
