the Agent, on behalf of the related Purchaser, or Purchaser may have in such Purchased Asset, (b) all of the Agent and related Purchaser’s right, title and interest in such Purchased Assets shall automatically transfer to Seller, and (c) with respect to such Purchased Asset, the Agent, on behalf of the related Purchaser, shall or shall direct Custodian to release such Purchased Asset to Seller. Except as set forth in Section 15, Seller shall give at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, on behalf of the related Purchaser, if such repurchase shall occur on any date other than the Repurchase Date.

If such a Margin Deficit is applicable, Purchasers shall notify Seller of the amount thereof and Seller may thereupon satisfy the Margin Call in the manner specified in Section 7.

(b)    Notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, Sutton and Seller agree that following the repurchase of an FHA Buyout Loan by Seller hereunder (whether pursuant to Section 3(g), Section 15, or otherwise), unless a Margin Deficit or an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Sutton shall cease to have any interest in such FHA Buyout Loan and the proceeds therefrom. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that following payment of the Repurchase Price the Seller shall no longer be required to file applications for insurance benefits in Sutton’s name, and that the proceeds of any FHA claim or otherwise arising from an FHA Buyout Loan that are received by Sutton following such date shall be promptly remitted to Seller.

(c)    Sutton hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Seller and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as Sutton’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Sutton, solely to execute any and all documents as may be necessary (i) to report a change in the holding lender to Seller of any FHA Buyout Loan as of the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (including but not limited to Servicer/Holder Transfer (HUD Form 92080), and (ii) in the event title to any REO Property has been taken in the name of Sutton, to execute such documents as is necessary to convey title to such REO Property to Seller or its designee. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(d)    In the event that the foregoing power of attorney is deemed invalid or otherwise inadequate (including by FHA or HUD) to allow Seller to execute the necessary documentation in Sutton’s name to reflect a change in the holding lender from Sutton to Seller or to convey title to REO Property held in the name of Sutton, then Sutton shall, promptly upon request of the Seller, (i) execute and submit the Servicer/Holder Transfer (HUD Form 92080) and such other documentation as may be necessary to report such change in holding lender, and provide evidence of its compliance with the foregoing to Seller, (ii) make such changes in FHA Connection or such other applicable systems or websites as required to consummate such change in holding lender, and (iii) execute such documents as may be necessary in the applicable jurisdiction to transfer title to the REO Property to the Seller or its designee.

Additionally, with respect to any Eligible REO Property which has been determined by a Purchaser to have a Market Value of zero, Seller shall at the direction of Purchaser repurchase such Purchased Asset at a purchase price equal to the Repurchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset by wire transfer to the account designated by Purchasers.

(p)    Section 16(h) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

(h)    FHA Buyout Loans. Subject to Section 11 hereof, with respect to each FHA Buyout Loan, (i) the Servicer shall complete the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s form for Single-Family Application for Insurance Benefits in Sutton’s name and shall cause FHA to pay claims on such FHA Buyout Loan into the Sutton Collection Account, including by ensuring that Box 12 of the form provides the HUD mortgagee identification number for Sutton Funding LLC as “[***]”, and Box 16 provides [***], and (ii) the Servicer shall service such FHA Buyout Loan in Agency Compliance with all FHA requirements. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, any foreclosure of an FHA Buyout Loan, and the resulting Eligible REO Property, shall be taken in the name of the Seller.
