(c)Purchaser and Seller confirm that the transactions contemplated herein are intended to be sales of the Participation Certificates by Seller to Purchaser rather than borrowings secured by the Participation Certificates.  In the event, for any reason, any transaction is construed by any court or regulatory authority as a borrowing rather than as a sale, in order to secure the Seller’s obligations hereunder and any other obligations between the Seller on the one hand and the Purchaser and its Affiliates on the other, and in any event, Seller and Purchaser intend that Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, shall have, and the Seller hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Purchaser or its Assignee a perfected first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Participation Certificates, all of the servicing rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans, and all documentation and rights to receive documentation related to such servicing rights and the servicing of the Related Mortgage Loans, the Custodial Account and all amounts on deposit therein, the Related Mortgage Loans subject to each Participation Certificate, all documents, records (including, without limitation, Servicing Records and copies of all documentation in connection with the underwriting and origination of any Related Mortgage Loan that evidences compliance with the Ability to Repay Rule and the QM Rule), instruments and data evidencing the Related Mortgage Loans and the servicing thereof, the Securities to be issued as contemplated hereunder and all proceeds thereof, the Takeout Commitments, any funds of the Seller at any time deposited or held in the Over/Under Account and the proceeds of any and all of the foregoing in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Collateral”), free and clear of adverse claims.  In such case, Seller shall be deemed to have hereby granted to Purchaser or its Assignee, as the case may be, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the Collateral, free and clear of adverse claims.  In such event, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, the Custodian shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest herein granted to Purchaser, and Purchaser or each such Assignee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that the servicing rights with respect to the Related Mortgage Loans were not sold by Seller to Purchaser or that that such servicing rights are not an interest in the Related Mortgage Loans and are severable from the Related Mortgage Loans despite Purchaser’s and Seller’s express intent herein to treat them as included in the purchase and sale transaction, Seller hereby expressly pledges, assigns and grants to Purchaser a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon the
