AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE ASSETS AND ASSUMPTION OF THE ASSUMED
LIABILITIES
     Section 1.01. Purchase and Sale of Assets. In consideration of the Trust’s issuance of the Trust Certificates to the Seller and the Trust’s issuance of the Trust Notes to the Note Purchaser (as Seller’s assignee), and of the Trust’s assumption of certain liabilities pursuant to Section 1.02, and in consideration of Roosevelt’s agreements in this Agreement and in the Related Agreements, the Seller shall, at the Closing, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust, as the Asset Purchaser (and the Asset Purchaser shall, at the Closing, accept), without recourse (except to the extent specified herein), free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances, all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under the following assets of the Seller (collectively, the “Assets”):
          (i) the Portfolio;
          (ii) all Servicing Rights with respect to the Portfolio;
          (iii) all Corporate Advances relating to the Loans within the Portfolio; and
          (iv) all Files and Records relating to any Asset, copies of which may be retained by Seller to the extent required by Law.
     Section 1.02. Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and on the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, at the Closing, the Trust shall assume and agree to discharge only the following Liabilities of Seller (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):
          (a) all Liabilities of Seller under any of the Loans, including all obligations to fund Draw Advances made on or after the Closing Date under any of the Loans, to the extent arising on or after the Closing Date, and attributable to actions, omissions, facts, events, conditions, situations or sets of circumstances to the extent occurring on or following, the Closing Date; and
          (b) all Liabilities of Seller relating to any of the Assets to the extent arising on or after, and attributable to actions, omissions, facts, events, conditions, situations or sets of circumstances to the extent occurring on or following, the Closing Date.
All other Liabilities of Seller shall not be assumed by the Trust and shall remain the sole and exclusive responsibility of Seller. The Trust expressly disclaims any assumption of, and this Agreement does not purport to assign, any Liabilities whether or not related to or arising out of the Business or the Assets, whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, other than such Assumed Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Assumed Liabilities shall not include any Liabilities to the extent arising out of or related to

-3-


 

actions, omissions, facts, events, conditions, situations or sets of circumstances that occurred prior to the Closing Date.
     Section 1.03. Purchase Price.
          (a) In consideration of the sale by the Seller to Roosevelt, as Note Purchaser, of the Trust Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Roosevelt shall pay the Seller, at the times specified by this Agreement, a cash purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) which shall be the aggregate of:
          (i) subject to adjustment to such percentage pursuant to Section 1.04, an amount equal to 35.31% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date of the Loans within the Portfolio, regardless of whether or not such Loans as of such time and day are Current Loans; provided, however, that the percentage stated in this Section 1.03(a)(i) shall be 6.31% with respect to any Loan that is (A) as of the Cut-off Date, a Payment Status Unknown Loan and (B) not eligible for reclassification (as a result of payments made after the Cut-off Date with respect to such Payment Status Unknown Loan) as a Current Loan pursuant to the reclassification provisions of Section 1.04(c); plus
          (ii) an amount equal to all Accrued Interest as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (up to a maximum of 30 days) with respect to the Loans within the Portfolio that are Current Loans as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date; plus
          (iii) an amount equal to all Corporate Advances as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date with respect to the Loans in the Portfolio that are Current Loans as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and that are contractually and legally recoverable in accordance with the standards set forth in the definition of the term Corporate Advances under Article X (the “Advances Reimbursement Amount”); minus
          (iv) the Holdback Amount.
          (b) The Purchase Price (less the Escrowed Amount), as computed on an estimated basis in accord with the Seller’s Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.04(a), shall be paid at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Seller’s account (designated in writing by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date). The portion of the Purchase Price, as computed on an estimated basis in accord with the Seller’s Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 1.04(a), that is allocable to all Document Defective Loans (the “Escrowed Amount”) shall be paid by the Note Purchaser at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Account. The Purchase Price (including the Escrowed Amount) will be determined following Closing and settled on a final basis pursuant to the procedures of Section 1.04.

-4-


 

In the event that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of the 18th day of July, 2008, between Roosevelt, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company and Irwin Home Equity Corporation, relating to the sale of certain securitization assets and servicing rights (the “Residuals Purchase Agreement”), are rescinded pursuant to Section 7.06(d)(i) or (iv) of the Residuals Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the Closing has not yet occurred, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).
     Section 1.04. Calculations of Purchase Price.
          (a) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the Series Administrator and the Note Purchaser, a statement, together with supporting documentation in sufficient detail reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the Series Administrator (the “Seller’s Closing Statement”), which shall set forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the trial balances (allocating such trial balances among those Loans that are (I) then Current Loans, (II) those Loans that are Payment Status Unknown Loans and (III) those Loans that are neither Current Loans nor Payment Status Unknown Loans) with respect to the Loans within the Portfolio, as of the Cut-Off Date, of (i) the Estimated Corporate Advances (generated through its servicing system), (ii) the Estimated Stated Principal Balance, and (iii) the Estimated Accrued Interest (collectively and in the aggregate, the “Estimated Trial Balances”), respectively. The Seller’s Closing Statement shall allocate the Estimated Trial Balances between those Loans that are Document Defective Loans as of the balance date and those Loans that are not Document Defective Loans as of the balance date. Solely for purposes of computing the Seller’s Closing Statement and hence the amounts of the Purchase Price and Escrowed Amount payable at Closing (and subject to possible reclassification as Current Loans as part of determining the final related Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.04(c)), Loans that have a due date for their related monthly payment during the time period between July 2, 2008 and July 15, 2008, inclusive, but which are not otherwise past due as of the Cut-off Date for any payment of principal or interest, shall not be deemed to be Current Loans for purposes of the Seller’s Closing Statement as of the Cut-off Date, but instead shall be deemed to be “Payment Status Unknown Loans.” Further, for purposes of the Seller’s Closing Statement, only (x) the reduced percentage of the Estimated Stated Principal Balances applicable to the Payment Status Unknown Loans that are not ultimately eligible for reclassification as Current Loans pursuant to Section 1.04(c) shall be included with respect to the Payment Status Unknown Loans, and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the Estimated Corporate Advances related to each of the Current Loans shall be included as respective amounts payable at Closing, and the final respective amounts for Loans payable in respect of reclassified Payment Status Unknown Loans and in respect of Accrued Interest and Corporate Advances shall be determined and settled in connection with the Seller’s Determination to be prepared pursuant to Section 1.04(c).
          (b) Within three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust,

-5-


 

the Series Administrator and the Note Purchaser trial balances (the “Final Trial Balances”) of Seller updating the balance figures included within the related Estimated Trial Balances, with respect to each of the Loans, through the close of business on the calendar day before the Closing Date, together with supporting documentation in sufficient detail reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the Series Administrator supporting the applicable Final Trial Balances. The Final Trial Balances shall each allocate balance figures between those Loans that are Document Defective Loans as of the balance date and those Loans that are not Document Defective Loans as of the balance date. With respect to the Loans, the Series Administrator and the Seller shall work together in good faith between the date of the delivery by Seller of the Final Trial Balance related to the Loans and the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date in order to determine which, if any, Corporate Advances related to the Loans are not deemed contractually and legally recoverable in accordance with the standards set forth in the definition of that term under ARTICLE X.
          (c) Within thirty days (30) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust, and the Series Administrator a statement together with supporting documentation in sufficient detail reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the Series Administrator, showing Seller’s determination of the final Purchase Price (the “Seller’s Determination”). The Seller’s Determination shall be based upon the Final Trial Balances, as adjusted to reflect any reclassifications of Payment Status Unknown Loans that Seller may properly make pursuant to this Subsection. The Seller’s Determination shall allocate the Purchase Price both to Loans that are Document Defective Loans as of the date of the related Final Trial Balances and those Loans that are not Document Defective Loans as of the date of the Final Trial Balances. The Seller’s Determination shall also reflect any additional applicable Purchase Price owed to Seller due to reclassification of Payment Status Unknown Loans to Current Loans status as a result of the Seller’s receipt following the Cut-Off Date of payments of principal and interest on such Payment Status Unknown Loans. The Seller may reclassify a Payment Status Unknown Loan as a Current Loan as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date for purposes of the Seller’s Determination if (i) the only reason the Loan was deemed to be a Payment Status Unknown Loan for purposes of the Seller’s Closing Statement was the rule expressed in the next to the last sentence of Section 1.04(a), and (ii) full payment of principal and interest on any installment payment with respect to such Payment Status Unknown Loan that first became due as of any date during the period between July 2, 2008, and July 15, 2008, inclusive, is made, before the due date of the next installment, after the Cut-off Date. Payment Status Unknown Loans eligible for such reclassification will be deemed Current Loans for final related Purchase Price purposes, including the purposes of (i) the payment by the Note Purchaser of the highest percentage of Stated Principal Balance specified by Section 1.03(a)(i), (ii) the payment by the Note Purchaser at 100% for any Corporate Advances with respect to such Loans, and (iii) the Note Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Seller for Accrued Interest (up to the maximum amount specified by Section 1.03(a)(ii)) on the Loans through the close of business on the day immediately prior to

-6-


 

the Closing Date. Loans, that as of the Cut-off Date are due only for an installment that came due on or after July 16, 2008 shall be deemed to be Current Loans both for purposes of the Seller’s Closing Statement and for purposes of the Seller’s Determination, regardless of whether the payment of that installment is in fact made before the due date of the next installment.
          (d) As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) calendar days after receipt of the Seller’s Determination, the Series Administrator shall notify Seller in writing whether it accepts or disputes its accuracy with respect to the Loans. During such five (5) day period, the Series Administrator and its representatives shall be provided with such access to all Files and Records of Seller as they may reasonably request to respond to the Seller’s Determination. If the Series Administrator accepts the calculation of the Seller’s Determination, or if the Series Administrator fails within such five (5) day period to notify the Seller of any dispute with respect thereto, the calculation of each proposed final Purchase Price (including the amounts payable with respect to Payment Status Unknown Loans and reclassified Payment Status Unknown Loans, and Corporate Advances and Accrued Interest related to the Loans), determined in accordance with the Seller’s Determination, shall (subject only to potential further adjustment solely on account of subsequent purchase determinations during the Document Recovery Period described by Section 1.04(h)) be deemed final and conclusive and binding upon all parties.
          (e) If the Series Administrator disputes the calculation of the final Purchase Price, or any other element of the Seller’s Determination, the Series Administrator shall give timely written notice to the Seller no later than five (5) calendar days following the receipt of the Seller’s Determination (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall specify the reasons for such disagreement, the amounts of any adjustments that are necessary in the Series Administrator’s good faith judgment and the basis for the Series Administrator’s suggested adjustments. If the Seller and the Series Administrator are unable to resolve the disputed matters outstanding within a thirty (30) day period following delivery of a Dispute Notice, all disputed matters shall be resolved as provided in Section 12.11. In the event a Dispute Notice is delivered, then, not later than three business days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, the appropriate party (the Seller or the Note Purchaser, as the case may be) shall pay to the other party or to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds such amount that is then payable under this Section 1.04 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price as to which there is no dispute expressed by the Dispute Notice.
          (f) Payment by the Note Purchaser. In the event that the Purchase Price (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.04) with respect to any Loan within the Portfolio is greater than the amount paid at Closing by the Note Purchaser (to Seller or to the Escrow Agent, as the case may be) with respect to such Loan pursuant to Section 1.03 (plus or minus any adjusting payments previously received or made by Seller or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.04), then the Note Purchaser shall pay an amount allocable with respect to each such Loan, (A) in the case of each Loan that is not a Document Defective Loan as of the date of the Seller’s

-7-


 

Determination, to the Seller an amount equal to the difference within five (5) calendar days after the determination of the amount thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller and (B) in the case of each Loan that is a Document Defective Loan, to the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to the difference within five (5) calendar days after the determination of the amount thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Account.
          (g) Payment by Seller. In the event that the Purchase Price (as finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.04) with respect to any Loan within the Portfolio is less than the amount paid at Closing by the Note Purchaser (to the Seller or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be) with respect to such Loan pursuant to Section 1.03 (plus or minus any adjusting payments previously received or made by the Seller or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.04), then, (i) in the case of each Loan that is not a Document Defective Loan as of the date of the Seller’s Determination, the Seller shall pay to the Note Purchaser an amount equal to the difference within five (5) calendar days after the determination of the amount thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Note Purchaser and (ii) in the case of each Loan that is a Document Defective Loan as of the date of the Seller’s Determination, the Seller shall direct that the Escrow Agent pay to the Note Purchaser an amount equal to the difference within five (5) calendar days after the determination of the amount thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Escrow Account.
          (h) Escrowed Amounts. During the period following the Closing Date and ending ninety days (90) days following the Closing Date (the “Document Recovery Period”), each of the Seller, the Series Administrator and the Note Purchaser shall in good faith attempt to resolve all issues with respect to the purchase under this Agreement of all Document Defective Loans that were deemed to have been conditionally accepted for purchase at Closing pursuant to Section 3.02(a) on account of Missing Material Loan Documents. At the end of the Document Recovery Period:
          (i) for each Document Defective Loan with respect to which any Missing Material Loan Document shall not have been delivered to the Custodian on behalf of the Trust (or its designee) to its reasonable satisfaction, such Document Defective Loan shall be deemed not to have been purchased by the Trust, and (A) any Purchase Price (without interest) allocable to such Document Defective Loan that is on deposit in the Escrow Account shall, promptly following the termination of the Document Recovery Period and pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, be paid to the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, from the Escrow Account and (B) any amounts actually collected by (or on behalf of) the Trust with respect to such Document Defective Loan during the period between the Closing Date and the end of the Document Recovery Period (to the extent not previously returned to Seller) shall be paid by the Trust to the Seller; and

          (xv) With respect to each Loan and the corresponding Mortgage Note, (i) if such Loan is a first lien mortgage Loan, its loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) was not greater than 125% at the time such Loan was originated; and (ii) such Loan has not been modified, or if such Loan has been modified, the modification occurred in connection with the Mortgagor’s default on such Loan or at a time when the Mortgagor’s default was reasonably foreseeable.

          (e) With respect to any first lien Loans only and pursuant to the terms of each related Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon any Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where any Mortgaged Property is located in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the first lien Loan or (ii) the replacement cost of any Mortgaged Property, but in no event less than the minimum amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. If any Mortgaged Property related to a first lien Loan is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If upon origination of a first lien Loan, the related Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards a life-of-loan flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. Each Mortgage related to a first lien Loan obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the representation in this section (e) shall only apply for 30 days following the termination of the Administration and Servicing Agreement.
     Section 4.05. Licenses and Permits.

     Section 4.06. Compliance with Law. Except as set forth on Section 4.06 of the Disclosure Schedules, Seller and IHE, and any prior originator or servicer, have complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws in connection with the servicing, origination or acquisition of each of the Loans. Neither Seller nor IHE have received, at any time since December 31, 2006, any written notice from any Governmental Entity or any other Person regarding any actual, alleged, possible or potential violation of, or failure to comply with, any applicable Law with respect to any item of the Portfolio and there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened, investigation of Seller or IHE that could reasonably be expected to result in such charge or notice in the future.

     Section 4.09. Disclaimer. Except as expressly set forth in this ARTICLE IV, Seller makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, at Law or in equity, and any such other representations and warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed, including any implied representation or warranty as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for particular purpose.

It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, except as contemplated in ARTICLE I, (i) the Asset Purchaser is assuming the risk of deterioration subsequent to the date hereof in the credit quality of the Loans and the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Mortgagors thereunder, and (ii) for so long as Roosevelt is a Noteholder, that, indirectly as a Noteholder, it is also assuming the risk of deterioration subsequent to the purchase by it of the Trust Notes in the credit quality of the underlying Loans and the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Mortgagors thereunder. Accordingly, the Asset Purchaser, and the Note Purchaser as a Noteholder, each agree with the Seller that, in the event of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01(a), Seller shall be responsible (subject to the terms of ARTICLE VII) only for the portion of any such Indemnity Loss attributable solely to a breach by Seller of any representation or warranty without regard to any such deterioration in credit quality or the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Mortgagor.

          (a) The breach of any representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement;
          (b) the breach of any covenants or agreements of Seller in this Agreement;
          (c) any Excluded Liability; and

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.08, if a party entitled to indemnity pursuant to Section 7.01 or 7.02 (the “Claimant”) believes that it has suffered or incurred any Indemnity Loss, it shall so notify the party which the Claimant believes has an obligation to indemnify (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing describing such Indemnity Loss in reasonable detail, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Indemnity Loss, all with reasonable particularity (the “Indemnification Notice”). Subject to the provisions of Section 7.08, if any Proceeding is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which the Claimant intends to claim any Liability or expense as an Indemnity Loss under this ARTICLE VII, it shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Proceeding describing such Indemnity Loss, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Indemnity Loss, all with reasonable particularity (the “Litigation Notice”) in lieu of an Indemnification Notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the Indenture Trustee and the Series Administrator shall have the rights and remedies under this ARTICLE VII to act as Claimants on behalf of the Asset Purchaser, and to enforce any indemnities of the Trust, on behalf of the Securityholders.

If the Indemnifying Party gives a Disagreement Notice (as hereinafter defined) or does not give the foregoing Election Notice during such 20-day period, the Claimant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to defend, contest, settle or compromise such Proceeding in the exercise of its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that the right of the Claimant to indemnification

-28-


 

hereunder shall not be conclusively established thereby. If the Indemnifying Party timely gives the foregoing Election Notice and provides information satisfactory to the Claimant in its reasonable discretion confirming the Indemnifying Party’s financial capacity to defend such Indemnity Loss and provide indemnification with respect to such Indemnity Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claimant and, subject to the provisions set forth below, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, the conduct and settlement of such Proceeding, and the Claimant shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, however, that (a) the Indemnifying Party shall not thereby consent to the imposition of any injunction against the Claimant without the prior written consent of the Claimant, (b) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Claimant to participate in such conduct or settlement through legal counsel chosen by the Claimant, but the fees and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne by the Claimant unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed in writing to the continuing participation of such counsel, or (ii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant and representation of both parties by the same counsel would, in the opinion of Claimant’s outside legal counsel, be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them, (c) upon a final determination of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Claimant, to the extent required under this ARTICLE VII, for the full amount of any Indemnity Loss incurred by the Claimant, except fees and expenses of legal counsel that the Claimant incurred after the assumption of the conduct and control of such Proceeding by the Indemnifying Party in good faith, (d) the Claimant shall have the right to pay or settle any such Proceeding; provided, however, that in the event of such payment or settlement which is not consented to by the Indemnifying Party, the Claimant shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party and no amount in respect thereof shall be claimed as an Indemnity Loss under this ARTICLE VII and (e) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle such Proceeding with the consent of the Claimant, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or, if such settlement provides for release of the Claimant in connection with all matters relating to the Proceeding which have been asserted against the Claimant in such Proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the Claimant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Proceeding, shall not be entitled to settle or compromise any such Proceeding, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Claimant, if (a) the Proceeding relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (b) the Proceeding seeks injunctive or equitable relief against the Claimant, or (c) the Indemnifying Party has not elected to defend or is failing to defend in good faith the Proceeding.
     Section 7.05. Disagreement Notice. If the Indemnifying Party does not agree that the Claimant is entitled to full reimbursement for the amount specified in the Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claimant (the “Disagreement Notice”) within twenty (20) calendar days of its receipt of the Indemnification Notice or the Litigation Notice, as the case may be.
     Section 7.06. Payment of Losses. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Claimant in cash the amount to which the Claimant may become entitled by reason of the provisions of this

-29-


 

ARTICLE VII within fifteen (15) Business Days after such amount is finally determined either by mutual agreement of the parties, in the case of an Indemnity Loss described in any Litigation Notice, the date on which both such amount and Claimant’s obligation to pay such amount have been finally determined by judgment of the trial court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount to which the applicable Purchaser becomes entitled by reason of the provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall be paid by Seller in immediately available funds subject to Section 7.01.
     Section 7.07. Survival; Limitations. (a) Claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.02(a) shall only be valid to the extent that such claims are made within a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date; provided, however, that claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.02(a) for any Loans that are not Seasoned Loans shall continue until the greater of (i) twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date or (ii) until such time that such Loans become Seasoned Loans; and provided further, that claims for breaches of any representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section 4.08, Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 which shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by law.
          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE VII, in no event shall Seller be liable to indemnify the related Purchaser Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses arising under Section 7.01(a) (other than Indemnity Losses arising under Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or Section 4.08 or Indemnity Losses based upon actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller) (i) with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty relating to any individual Loan in Section 4.04, in excess of an amount calculated (unless Deemed Purchase Prices for the Loans are determined and updated as of Closing, as contemplated below) by multiplying the aggregate Purchase Price by the quotient of (A) the outstanding principal balance of such Loan as of the Closing Date, divided by (B) the outstanding principal balance of all Loans within the Portfolio as of the Closing Date or (ii) with respect to all Indemnity Losses, in the aggregate, in excess of an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate final Purchase Price. The parties agree to discuss in good faith with each other, during the period of twenty (20) Business Days from the date of this Agreement, the establishment of a methodology for determining a deemed purchase price of all the Loans within the Portfolio for purposes of fixing the maximum liability of Seller with respect to any particular individual Loan under clause (i) of the preceding sentence. If such a methodology is established and deemed purchase prices for all the Loans within the Portfolio (“Deemed Purchase Prices”) are determined, then, within five (5) Business Days from the delivery of the Seller’s Determination pursuant to Section 1.04(c), the parties shall again, by applying the methodology in a consistent fashion to the relevant Closing Date data with respect to such Loans, determine the updated Deemed Purchase Prices for all Loans within the Portfolio, as purchased and sold at the Closing. In the event that such updated Deemed Purchase Prices are established as contemplated by the preceding sentence, then the maximum Indemnity Loss with respect to a particular individual Loan that is established by clause (i) of the first sentence of this subsection (b) shall be the Deemed Purchase Price, as so updated, of that Loan in lieu of the calculation set forth in such clause (i).

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE VII, in no event shall Roosevelt be liable to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for Indemnity Losses arising under Section 7.02(a) (other than Indemnity Losses arising under Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or Section 5.05 or Indemnity Losses based upon fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Roosevelt) in the aggregate, in excess of an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.04.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a Claimant is entitled to indemnification for an Indemnity Loss resulting from both a breach of a Seller representation or warranty set forth in ARTICLE IV and an Excluded Liability, such Indemnity Loss shall be treated as resulting from an Excluded Liability under Section 7.01(c); provided that under no circumstances shall Purchaser make a claim, and obtain recovery, pursuant to both Section 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c) with respect to any such Indemnity Loss.
     Section 7.08. Cure Right. Prior to seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b), and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, before the running of any other applicable time period set forth in this ARTICLE VII commences, the Indenture Trustee, the Series Administrator or Roosevelt shall notify the Seller of any alleged breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller and Seller shall have a period to cure such breach equal to thirty (30) days following the date of the Indenture Trustee’s, the Series Administrator’s or Roosevelt’s, as applicable, written notice to the Seller of such breach, unless such breach is not susceptible of cure or cannot reasonably be expected to be cured within such thirty (30) day period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller’s full and complete cure of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in accordance with this Section 7.08 shall constitute the Indenture Trustee’s, the Series Administrator’s or Roosevelt’s, as applicable, full, complete and exclusive remedy with respect to such breach.
