SECTION 5. Periodic Due Diligence Review. Section 35 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

  35. Periodic Due Diligence Review

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to Seller and the Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Data Record and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering Broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter, approved by Buyer in its sole discretion, to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with

such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 35 (“Due Diligence Costs”); provided that such Due Diligence Costs shall be subject to the Due Diligence Cap per calendar year. For the avoidance of doubt, the Due Diligence Cap shall apply solely to costs incurred by Buyer in connection with its due diligence of Seller and Guarantor in connection with the extension of the Effective Date and Buyer’s review of the Mortgage Files, credit files and servicing files related to Purchased Mortgage Loans prior to the Effective Date. Such Due Diligence Cap shall not apply to the extent Buyer requests the review of additional Purchased Mortgage Loans or if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case Buyer shall have the right to perform due diligence, at the sole expense of Seller without regard to the Due Diligence Cap.

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties. Schedule 1 to the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by:

6.1 adding the following paragraph at the beginning of such schedule:

Representations and Warranties Concerning Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller represents and warrants to and covenants with Buyer that the following are true and correct with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan as of the related Purchase Date through and until the date on which such Purchased Mortgage Loan is repurchased by Seller. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

6.2 adding the following new clause:

(kkk) TRID Compliance. To the extent applicable, effective with respect to applications taken on or after October 3, 2015, each Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule.

SECTION 7. Fees and Expenses. Seller hereby agrees to pay to Buyer, on demand, any and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Buyer in connection with the development, preparation and execution of this Amendment, irrespective of whether any transactions hereunder are executed.

SECTION 8. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof, upon Buyer’s receipt of this Amendment, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of Buyer, Seller and Guarantor.

 

5


SECTION 9. Limited Effect. Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by each of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11. Severability. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

SECTION 12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

SECTION 13. Reaffirmation of Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby (i) agrees that the liability of Guarantor or rights of Buyer under the Guaranty shall not be affected as a result of this Amendment, (ii) ratifies and affirms all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations of the Guaranty and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that such Guaranty is and shall continue to be in full force and effect.
