Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Guides and the Mortgage Selling and Servicing Contract between Fannie Mae and the Lender.
3. Initiation of an As Soon As Pooled Plus Transaction
     (a) In order to initiate an As Soon As Pooled Plus transaction hereunder, the Lender must deliver a Mortgage Loan via a Funding Express transmission to Fannie Mae by no later than 12:00 noon (Eastern time) at least one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date therefor. The Lender must accurately complete each open data field provided in the Funding Express transmission for such Mortgage Loan. The Lender must then request approval to make delivery of such Mortgage Loan under this ASAP Plus Agreement by contacting Fannie Mae’s Capital Markets Sales Desk by telephone not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day preceding the Purchase Date, in order to establish the terms of the transaction, including the Purchase Price, the Pricing Rate, the applicable margin percentage and the Purchase Date. Any delay by the Lender in sending the Funding Express transmission or in agreeing to the terms of the transaction will result in a Purchase Date not earlier than the second Business Day following the Funding Express transmission.
     (b) Not later than 9:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the Purchase Date, the Lender will deliver a complete and accurate Mortgage Document package consistent with the terms of the related Funding Express transmission to the DDF Unit, in accordance with the terms of the Guides. The Lender must either (i) attach an As Soon As Pooled® Plus label (which can be obtained from the Fannie Mae regional office or the Capital Markets Sales Desk) to the envelope bearing such Mortgage Documents, or (ii) write the words “As Soon As Pooled Plus” in blue ink on such envelope. Any failure by the Lender to comply with these conditions, or any failure of the Mortgage Documents to be in a form required by the Guides or any related MBS pool purchase contract, will result in the delay of the Purchase Date under this Agreement and the imposition of funding costs on the Lender or cancellation of the proposed transaction, as determined by Fannie Mae.
     (c) If Fannie Mae elects to purchase a Mortgage Loan delivered in an As Soon As Pooled Plus transaction pursuant to Section 3 hereof, Fannie Mae will remit the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan (less the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit) to the Lender on the Purchase Date by wire transfer in accordance with the provisions of Annex I hereto, upon the certification by the DDF Unit that the Mortgage Document package is complete, accurate and consistent with the terms of the related Funding Express transmission.
4. Confirmation of an As Soon As Pooled Plus Transaction
     Upon agreeing to accept the delivery of a Mortgage Loan hereunder, Fannie Mae shall promptly transmit to the Lender a written confirmation of such acceptance (a “Confirmation”). The Confirmation shall (i) describe such Mortgage Loan by its Loan Number, (ii) identify the Lender, (iii) set forth the Purchase Date, the Purchase Price, and the Pricing Rate for such Mortgage Loan, and (iv) set forth any additional terms or conditions of such transaction not inconsistent with this ASAP Plus Agreement. The Confirmation, together with this ASAP Plus Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between Fannie Mae and Lender with respect to the acquisition of the Mortgage Loans to which the Confirmation relates,

4


 

unless, with respect to such Confirmation, specific objection is made by the Lender promptly (and, in any case, within twenty-four hours) after receipt thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and this ASAP Plus Agreement, this ASAP Plus Agreement shall prevail.
5. Completion of As Soon As Pooled Plus Transactions/Redelivery
     (a) On each Business Day, the Pricing Rate for each Mortgage Loan shall be subject to adjustment.
     (b) The Lender shall repurchase each Mortgage Loan on a date that is not more than 60 days after the Purchase Date related to such Mortgage Loan. Immediately after such repurchase, the Lender shall redeliver such Mortgage Loan to Fannie Mae pursuant to the ASAP Sale Agreement or via Whole Loan Execution. Fannie Mae will continue to act as the document custodian for the Mortgage Documents relating to such Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Guides throughout the repurchase and redelivery contemplated hereby.
     (c) On each Repurchase Date, Fannie Mae will calculate (i) the price Fannie Mae is to pay for delivery of each Mortgage Loan redelivered to it on such Repurchase Date pursuant to the ASAP Sale Agreement or via Whole Loan Execution, (ii) the Repurchase Price which the Lender is obligated to pay to Fannie Mae to repurchase such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) any Margin Deficit payable with respect to any Mortgage Loan that Lender has not redelivered to Fannie Mae pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof. Fannie Mae shall pay the amount calculated in clause (i) above to Lender by wire to the account of the Lender set forth in Annex I. Lender shall pay Fannie Mae the amounts calculated in clause (ii) and (iii) above by wire to the account of Fannie Mae set forth in Annex I. The parties agree that such payment obligations may be applied against each other and netted.
6. Eligible Mortgages
     Each Mortgage Loan sold to Fannie Mae in each As Soon As Pooled Plus transaction must: (i) meet the eligibility requirements of the Mortgage Selling and Servicing Contract, the Guides and any applicable pool purchase contract; (ii) have been closed and funded at least one Business Day before the date of the Funding Express transmission with respect thereto and no longer subject to any applicable right of rescission; and (iii) be eligible for delivery into “TBA” Pools (or other pools as approved by Fannie Mae), or have such other terms as have been approved by Fannie Mae.
7. Margin Maintenance
     (a) The Lender agrees that if at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Mortgage Loans delivered by it to Fannie Mae pursuant to this ASAP Plus Agreement but not yet repurchased by Lender pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof is less than the aggregate Fannie Mae Margin Amount for all Mortgage Loans, then upon its receipt of notice from Fannie Mae delivered pursuant to Annex I hereto, Lender shall transfer to Fannie Mae either cash or Additional Mortgage Loans (as determined in Lender’s discretion) acceptable to Fannie Mae, so that the sum of such cash and the aggregate Market Value of the Mortgage Loans, including any

5


 

such Additional Mortgage Loans, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Fannie Mae Margin Amount.
     (b) With respect to any Mortgage Loan delivered by the Lender to Fannie Mae hereunder, Fannie Mae may require the Lender to cure a Margin Deficit, as provided in Section 7(a) hereof, whenever such a Margin Deficit exists with respect to such Mortgage Loan hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Mortgage Loan outstanding under this Agreement).
8. Income Payments on the Mortgage Loans; Servicing of the Mortgage Loans
     (a) Lender shall service each Mortgage Loan purchased by Fannie Mae pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of Fannie Mae in accordance with the Guides. Lender shall not transfer servicing of any of such Mortgage Loans without Fannie Mae’s prior written approval.
     (b) Lender shall hold all Income that is received during, or that is attributable to, the period between the Purchase Date and the Repurchase Date on any Mortgage Loan in a segregated bank account designated in the name of Fannie Mae. Lender further acknowledges and agrees that: (i) at all times such Income is the property of Fannie Mae; (ii) it will not commingle such Income with any other funds; (iii) it has granted Fannie Mae a security interest in all Income and other proceeds that it receives during, or that is attributable to, the period between the Purchase Date and the Repurchase Date on any Mortgage Loan; and (iv) it shall be obligated to provide Fannie Mae, upon one Business Day’s written notice from Fannie Mae to Lender, with an accounting with respect to such Mortgage Loan and all Income and other proceeds related to such Mortgage Loan.
     (c) Lender shall provide written notice to Fannie Mae of, and allow Fannie Mae to attend, any meetings to which creditors of the Lender are invited. If the Lender is a mortgage banker, Lender shall submit a Mortgage Bankers’ Financial Reporting Form (Form 1002) to Fannie Mae within 60 days after the end of each calendar quarter (unless such calendar quarter ends on December 31, in which case Lender shall submit Form 1002 within 90 days of the end of such calendar quarter).
9. Absolute Sale of Mortgage Loans
     (a) The Lender and Fannie Mae intend and agree that each delivery of a Mortgage Loan accepted by Fannie Mae pursuant to this ASAP Plus Agreement shall constitute a true, absolute and unconditional sale by the Lender and purchase by Fannie Mae of that Mortgage Loan. By delivering a Mortgage Loan to Fannie Mae pursuant to this ASAP Plus Agreement, the Lender agrees, represents and warrants that (i) all of its right, title and interest in such Mortgage Loan is sold, transferred, set over and otherwise conveyed to Fannie Mae as of the Purchase Date for such Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, all right, title, and interest in the Income related thereto; and (ii) as of such date, the Lender no longer holds any “equitable interest” in such Mortgage Loan, as such term is used in Section 541(d) of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended. No delay in the presentation or delivery of any document needed to complete the Mortgage Documentation package with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall have any effect on the absolute nature of the sale of such Mortgage Loan to Fannie Mae hereunder.

6


 

     (b) If, notwithstanding this mutual intent of the Lender and Fannie Mae, and the Lender’s agreements, representations and warranties as provided in Section 9(a) hereof, the transfer and sale of a Mortgage Loan is determined by a court or another appropriate forum to be a financing rather than a sale, the Lender shall be deemed to have granted Fannie Mae a first priority perfected security interest in and upon all of the Lender’s right, title, and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, all right, title, and interest in the Income related thereto, related custodial, collection and escrow accounts, related mortgage and servicing files and documents and all products and proceeds of any of the foregoing, as security for the payment to Fannie Mae of principal, interest, and other sums due with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and the Lender agrees to execute all endorsements and assignments necessary in order to reflect the ownership interests of Fannie Mae, as intended by this ASAP Plus Agreement.
10. Payment and Transfer
     Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. All funds remitted to Lender by Fannie Mae on the Purchase Date for each Mortgage Loan will be made in accordance with the provisions of Annex I.
11. Substitution; Repurchase
     After the Purchase Date related to any Mortgage Loan, Lender may not substitute other Mortgage Loans for such Mortgage Loan or repurchase such Mortgage Loan (except as required by Fannie Mae in accordance with this ASAP Plus Agreement or the Collateral Documents).
12. Representations and Warranties of Lender

9


 

equal to the most recent bid quotation provided by Fannie Mae as of such date, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Mortgage Loans and any other amounts owing by Lender hereunder; and
          (iv) Lender shall be liable for the amount of losses or damages suffered or incurred by Fannie Mae in connection with or as a consequence of any Event of Default, including all reasonable legal or other expenses, together with interest accruing daily thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for the related Mortgage Loan on such day or the sum of the Prime Rate and 3 percentage points (300 basis points).

     (a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this ASAP Plus Agreement shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party.
