22. Section 7 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

b. Prior to an Event of Default, upon the termination of any Transaction, Buyer shall apply payments received from a Takeout Investor or Takeout Broker Dealer or otherwise, including those payments contemplated in Sections 6(a) and 7(a) above, as follows (provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to apply payments in the event that it is unable to identify the Mortgage Loans to which such payments correspond or there are insufficient funds in the Settlement Account or the Seller’s Clearing Account, and the related Repurchase Price will continue to accrue interest as if no payment had been made):

First, to the payment of the outstanding Repurchase Price owed by the Seller under this Agreement;

Second, to the payment of related costs and expenses owed under this Agreement, including reasonable compensation to Buyer’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Buyer in connection therewith;

e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that any Income (excluding principal prepayments in full) is not deposited in the Collection Account, upon notice by Buyer to Seller, Seller shall immediately remit to the Settlement Account all such Income received by Servicer or Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets.

23. Section 8 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding “or the Takeout Broker Dealer” after the references to “Takeout Investor” therein.

24. Section 15 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it as follows:

“In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred:

a. Buyer may, at its option, declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except 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). Buyer shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give written notice to Seller of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable. (For purposes of this provision, notice provided by electronic mail shall constitute written notice.)

b. If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Mortgage Loans and Purchased Agency Securities, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer, or, to the extent not yet transferred to the Collection Account, the Seller’s Clearing Account or the Reserve Account, remitted to Buyer, and in any case

 

Page 13 of 20


applied, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by any Seller hereunder, and (iii) Seller shall immediately comply with the further instructions of Buyer with respect to holding or delivering any of the Mortgage Files relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to satisfy any Obligations with funds remaining in the Seller’s Clearing Account or the Reserve Account.

c. Buyer also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of Seller relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement.

d. Buyer shall have the right to direct all Servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Buyer to the extent that any such Servicer is not currently remitting to the Buyer, and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer. Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the Servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause.

e. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, the Servicing Rights), Purchased Agency Securities and liquidate all Purchased Assets. Such disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans may be, at Buyer’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Purchased Agency Securities with respect to any such disposition thereof. Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Purchased Agency Securities. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Purchased Agency Securities and liquidation of the Purchased Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Purchased Agency Securities or the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Purchased Agency Securities or the Purchased Assets, or that have the reasonable capability

 

Page 14 of 20


of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Buyer shall be entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Assets individually for the prevailing price. Buyer shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give the Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder.

f. Upon the happening and continuation of one or more Events of Default, Buyer may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Buyer deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

g. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal and external counsel of Buyer) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

h. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this paragraph shall be at a rate equal to the Post Default Rate.

i. Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law, including, without limitation, any equitable remedies and Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

 

Page 15 of 20


j. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

k. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and as permitted by law Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets, 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.

 

  25. The Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Section 39 thereto:

 

  39. Agency Security Takeout

a. Prior to an Event of Default, from time to time, the Seller, as an approved Issuer of Ginnie Mae Securities, may issue Ginnie Mae Securities backed by certain of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or, as an approved Fannie Mae Seller or Freddie Mac Seller, may sell Purchased Mortgage Loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as applicable, in exchange for Fannie Mae Securities or Freddie Mae Securities, as applicable. Buyer will agree to sell the related Purchased Mortgage Loans back to the Seller in satisfaction of the related Repurchase Price and will simultaneously purchase the related Agency Securities (the proceeds from such sale will be used to satisfy the Repurchase Price with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans) from the Seller in a new Transaction. The Agency Securities will be delivered to the Federal Book Account of Buyer, at which time they will be considered Purchased Assets hereunder. The Seller shall arrange for the sale of the Purchased Agency Securities to a Takeout Broker Dealer, the proceeds of such sale to be credited to Buyer’s account as further provided herein to satisfy the Repurchase Price with respect to the Purchased Agency Securities.

b. As a condition precedent to Buyer agreeing to accept such Agency Securities as Purchased Assets hereunder, the Seller must comply with all of the following conditions: (i) the Seller shall at all times be (A) a Ginnie Mae Issuer in good standing with the authority to issue securities, (B) a Fannie Mae Seller in good standing with the authority to sell mortgages or (C) a Freddie Mac Seller in good standing with the authority to sell mortgages, as applicable; (ii) the Agency Custodian shall be the same entity

c. The Seller agrees to comply with the following additional protocol with respect to the issuance of Purchased Agency Securities:

 

  (1) The Agency Security Purchase Commitment will not describe specific Purchased Mortgage Loans that will underlie the Purchased Agency Security, but instead shall solely provide for delivery of a Purchased Agency Security.

 

  (2) Seller shall inform Buyer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans that Seller intends to pool in a related Purchased Agency Security.
