(ix)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Buyer determines in its commercially reasonable discretion that, (A) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark; (B) the Benchmark is no longer in existence; (C) it becomes unlawful for Buyer to enter into Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on the Benchmark; (D) a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Benchmark shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, or (E) it shall no longer enter into transactions based on the Benchmark in connection with repurchase facilities with similarly situated sellers with similar assets (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Sellers (the “Rate Change Notice”), whereupon the Pricing Rate from the date specified in such notice (which, in the case of (D), shall be no sooner than the earliest to occur of (i) [***] following the date of such Rate Change Notice, or (ii) the date specified by the applicable Governing Authority and in the case of (E) shall be no sooner than [***] following the date of such Rate Change Notice), until such time as the notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”), together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its commercially reasonable discretion prior to such Scheduled Unavailability Date. The Successor Rate will be determined by Buyer consistent with the alternative benchmark rate Buyer implements in repurchase facilities with similarly situated sellers with similar assets. In the event that Sellers determine that either the Successor Rate or the Successor Rate Conforming Changes are unacceptable, Sellers shall provide notice of same to Buyer within [***] of receipt of the Rate Change Notice and Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, prior to the [***] following receipt of a Rate Change Notice (such specified date, the “Termination Option Expiration Date”), without the imposition of any form of penalty, breakage costs or exit fees. In the event that Sellers elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, they shall pay the outstanding Obligations, including all unpaid fees and expenses due to Buyer, prior to the Termination Option Expiration Date and any commitment of Buyer to enter into Transactions hereunder shall terminate. In the event that Sellers do not (i) provide notice that either the Successor Rate or the Successor Rate Conforming
    33
LEGAL02/43731153v4


Changes are unacceptable within [***] of receipt of the Rate Change Notice, or (ii) pay the outstanding Obligations, including all unpaid fees and expenses due to Buyer, prior to the Termination Option Expiration Date, then the Successor Rate and the Successor Rate Conforming Changes shall become effective on the date specified in the Rate Change Notice.
SECTION 6.REQUIREMENT OF LAW
(i)If any change in any Requirement of Law including those regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or application of any Requirement of Law thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(1)shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever, other than taxes based on Buyer’s income or gross receipts, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer;
(2)shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer;
(3)shall impose on Buyer any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, or shall have the effect of reducing Buyer’s rate of return then, in any such case, Sellers shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will reimburse Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable on an after-tax basis.
(ii)If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Sellers shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will reimburse Buyer for such reduction.
(iii)If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6, it shall promptly notify Sellers of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Sellers no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after such event, and (ii) the Sellers shall have no obligations pertaining to amounts incurred longer than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to delivery of such notice. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Buyer to Sellers in good faith and showing in reasonable detail the basis for, and calculation of, the amounts claimed shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

LEGAL02/43731153v4


SECTION 7.TAXES.
(i)Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Sellers under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Documents to which a Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If any Person shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Program Documents to Buyer (including, for purposes of Section 6 and this Section 7, any agent, assignee, successor or participant), (i) Sellers shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Sellers shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Sellers shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Sellers have made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 7) such Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of a Buyer, (i) Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income or gross receipts (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of such Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Program Documents (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes), and (ii) Taxes imposed as a result of its failure to comply with the requirements of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (as in effect on the date hereof) and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(ii)In addition, each Seller hereby agrees to pay or, at the Buyer’s option, timely reimburse it for payment of, any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, filing, intangible, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, any performance, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Program Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).
(iii)Each Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer (including its Beneficial Tax Owners) for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by such Buyer (or any Beneficial Tax Owners thereof) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that Buyer shall have provided Sellers with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Sellers, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be. A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes or liabilities delivered to the Sellers by Buyer in good faith and showing in reasonable detail the basis for, and calculation of, the amounts claimed shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Amounts payable by the Sellers under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor. Buyer shall promptly repay to Sellers any refund of any amounts received by Buyer that can be directly attributable to the Program Documents and amounts paid in respect of this Section 7.
    35
LEGAL02/43731153v4


(iv)Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, any Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of a Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(v)For purposes of this Section 7(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Sellers the following properly completed and duly executed documents:
(1)in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person or is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by a person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which such Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or
(2)in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is an individual, (x) for non-United States persons, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Section 7 Certificate”) or (y) for United States persons, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or
(3)in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and that is not a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by a person that is not a United States person, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or
(4)in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 7 Certificate; or
(5)in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) in the case of a non-withholding foreign partnership or trust, without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “Beneficial Tax Owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such Beneficial Tax Owner if such Beneficial Tax Owner were Buyer; or
(6)in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and/or this clause (vi) of this Section 7(e) with respect to its Beneficial Tax Owner if such Beneficial Tax Owner were Buyer; or
    36
LEGAL02/43731153v4


(7)in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity of an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and/or this clause (vii) with respect to each such person if each such person were Buyer.
If a Buyer provides a form pursuant to Section 7(e)(i)(x) and the form provided by the Buyer at the time such Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate under the tax treaty in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, the Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 7, then the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent that the Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.
(vi)For any period with respect to which a Buyer has failed to provide Sellers with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 7(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided), such Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 7 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, each Seller shall take such steps as such Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist such Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.
(vii)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Sellers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Sellers contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Program Documents. Nothing contained in Section 6 or this Section 7 shall require Buyer to complete, execute or make available any of its Tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary, or whose completion, execution or submission would, in Buyer’s judgment, materially prejudice Buyer’s legal or commercial position.
SECTION 8.SECURITY INTEREST; BUYER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
(i)Security Interest. On each Purchase Date, each Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all of its rights and interests in the Purchased Mortgage Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Repurchase Assets related thereto. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (other than as set forth in Section 21 for U.S. tax purposes), in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event each Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Sellers of
    37

    38
LEGAL02/43731153v4


(ii)Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Each Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, the form of Exhibit E hereto (the “Power of Attorney”), to be delivered on the date hereof.
SECTION 9.PAYMENT, TRANSFER; ACCOUNTS
(i)Payments and Transfers of Funds. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Sellers hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to Buyer pursuant to the Wiring Instructions, on the date on which such payment shall become due.
(ii)Remittance of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price pursuant to Sellers’ Wiring Instructions. With respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans being sold by a Seller on a Purchase Date, such Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest of such Seller in and to the Purchased Mortgage Loans together with all right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any related Repurchase Assets.
(iii)Warehouse Accounts. Buyer or the Buyer’s designee shall maintain for Sellers an inbound account and a margin account (the “Warehouse Accounts”). The Warehouse Accounts shall be in the form of non-interest bearing book-entry accounts. Buyer shall have exclusive withdrawal rights from the Warehouse Accounts. All amounts on deposit in the Warehouse Accounts shall be held as cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller acknowledges that (i) amounts in the Warehouse Accounts are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, any governmental entity or otherwise and (ii) Buyer is not required to segregate funds in the Warehouse Accounts from its own funds or from funds held for others. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Sellers fail to timely satisfy a Margin Call or an Event of Default exists, Buyer shall be entitled to use any or all of the amounts on deposit in any Warehouse Account to cure such circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to Buyer without prior notice to, or consent from Sellers, provided that Buyer will promptly notify Sellers of such application of funds; provided further that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of the Buyer’s actions.
(iv)Operating Account. From time to time, Sellers may provide funds to Buyer for deposit to an interest bearing account (the “Operating Account”) in accordance with this Section 9. The Operating Account shall be a subaccount of an interest-bearing savings account (the “Omnibus Account”) maintained by Buyer as agent for the benefit of Sellers and other sellers of mortgage related assets with a bank determined by Buyer its sole discretion (the “Depository”). The Buyer shall have non-exclusive withdrawal rights from the Operating Account. Each Seller acknowledges that Buyer acts as such Seller’s agent for the limited purpose of placing funds with the Depository, and that funds held by Buyer as such Seller’s agent are not a deposit account or other liability of Buyer. Buyer shall maintain records of each Seller’s interest in the funds maintained in the Omnibus Account. Withdrawals may be paid by wire transfer or any other means chosen by Buyer from time to time in its sole discretion. Subject to Section 9(f) hereof, each Seller shall be entitled to drawdown the Buydown Amount on demand and to remit additional funds to be added to the Buydown Amount.
(v)Depository. Unless otherwise designated in writing by Buyer and with prior written notice to Sellers, the Depository shall be UBS AG, Stamford Branch. Funds on deposit at the UBS AG, Stamford Branch are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Securities Investor Protection Corporation or any governmental agency of the United States,
    39
LEGAL02/43731153v4


Switzerland or any other jurisdiction. The Omnibus Account and Operating Account are obligations of the UBS AG, Stamford Branch only, and are not obligations of UBS AG generally or of any of its other affiliates. The payment of principal and interest on the Operating Account at the UBS AG, Stamford Branch is subject to the creditworthiness of UBS AG. The Operating Account is not a deposit account or other liability of Buyer. In the unlikely event of the failure of the UBS AG, Stamford Branch, each Seller acknowledges that it will be a general unsecured creditor of UBS AG.
(vi)Buydown Amount. The Buydown Amount shall be held as unsegregated cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Buyer receives a shortfall in the payment of Repurchase Price, Sellers fail to timely satisfy a Margin Call or an Event of Default exists, the Buyer shall be entitled to use any or all of the Buydown Amount and to withdraw such amount from the Operating Account in Buyer’s sole discretion to cure such circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to the Buyer without prior notice to, or consent from, Sellers; provided that Buyer will promptly notify Sellers of such application of funds; provided, further, that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of Buyer’s actions. Within [***] receipt of written request from Sellers, and provided no Seller has failed to timely satisfy a Margin Call or an Event of Default does not exist, Buyer shall withdraw any portion of such Buydown Amount from the Operating Account and remit such amount back to Sellers.
(vii)Operating Account Interest. Subject to Section 9(h), The Buydown Amount will accrue interest at the Operating Account Rate; provided that in no event shall interest accrue on (A) the Buydown Amount (x) if on any day the Buydown Amount is less than the Minimum Balance Requirement or (y) the average balance of funds in the Operating Account during any calendar month is less than the Minimum Balance Requirement and (B) that portion of the Buydown Amount that is in excess of the Minimum Balance Requirement. Unless otherwise set forth in the Pricing Letter:
(1) The Depository calculates interest accrual daily on the basis of funds credited to the Operating Account, but credits interest monthly. As a result, interest will not begin to compound until credited in the month following its accrual. The Depository credits interest to the Operating Account in the month following its accrual on a schedule set by Depository from time to time, which may result in a delay in interest crediting as late as the [***] of the calendar month.
(2) The Depository accrues interest on funds deposited to the Operating Account beginning on the day on which such funds are received in the Operating Account, and through, but not including, the day on which funds are withdrawn from the Operating Account.
(3) Interest paid on funds in the Operating Account at the Operating Account Rate shall be credited to the Operating Account unless otherwise withdrawn by Buyer at the direction of Sellers as provided herein.
(viii)Maintenance of Balances. If Sellers shall fail to maintain with Buyer during any calendar month deposits in the Operating Account in the average, after charges to compensate Buyer for services rendered to Sellers, equal to at least the Minimum Balance Requirement, Sellers shall pay to Buyer a fee equal to the amount of such deficit multiplied by the Maintenance Fee Rate.
(ix)Fees. Each Seller shall pay in immediately available funds to Buyer all fees, including without limitation, the Warehouse Fees, as and when required hereunder. All such
    40
LEGAL02/43731153v4


payments shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account designated by Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer may withdraw and retain from the Warehouse Accounts and Operating Account any Warehouse Fees due and owing to Buyer that have not been otherwise timely paid by Sellers.
SECTION 10.RESERVED
SECTION 11.REPRESENTATIONS

SECTION 14.REMEDIES
(i)If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the following rights and remedies are available to Buyer; provided that an Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing.
(1)At the option of Buyer, exercised by written or electronic notice to Sellers (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of the Sellers), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur.

(b)to the extent permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law, the calculation of the Price Differential with respect to each such Transaction shall be changed as set forth in the definition of the Price Differential and the Repurchase Price shall be decreased as of any day by (i) any amounts actually in the possession of Buyer pursuant to clause (C) of this subsection, and (ii) any proceeds from the sale of Purchased Mortgage Loans applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection (a)(iv) of this Section; and
(c)all Income actually received by Buyer pursuant to Section 5 or otherwise shall be applied to the aggregate unpaid Obligations owed by Seller.
(3)Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to obtain (A) a physical transfer of the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 16(c) and (B) physical possession of all files of each Seller relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of any Seller or any third party acting for any Seller (including
    53
LEGAL02/43731153v4


any Servicer) and such Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request; provided that if such records and documents also relate to mortgage loans other than the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer shall have a right to obtain copies of such records and documents, rather than originals. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Sellers contained in the Program Documents.
(4)At any time on the Business Day following notice to Sellers (which notice may be the notice given under subsection (a)(i) of this Section), in the event Sellers have not repurchased all Purchased Mortgage Loans, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale, without any representations or warranties of Buyer and at such price or prices as is commercially reasonable, any or all Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets subject to a such Transactions hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the Sellers hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans, to give Sellers credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans (provided that Buyer shall solicit at least three (3) third party bids) against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets shall be applied to the Obligations and Buyer’s related expenses as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.
(5)Each Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) 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 counsel of Buyer) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (B) damages in an amount equal to the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of Buyer entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.
(6)Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or any applicable Requirement of Law.
(ii)Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without notice to Sellers, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 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.
(iii)Each Seller recognizes that the market for the Purchased Mortgage Loans may not be liquid and as a result it may not be possible for Buyer to sell all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner. In view of the nature of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, each Seller agrees that liquidation of any Purchased Mortgage Loan may be conducted in a private sale. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Buyer than if such sale were a public sale, and notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Seller further agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to
    54
LEGAL02/43731153v4


dispose of any Purchased Mortgage Loan by using internet sites that provide for the auction or sale of assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans.
(iv)Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law and absent any willful misconduct or gross negligence of Buyer, any defenses such Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law and absent any willful misconduct or gross negligence of Buyer, any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) such Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Each 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.
(v)To the extent permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law, each Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by such Sellers hereunder, from the date such Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by such Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by a Seller to Buyer under this Section 14(e) shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.
(vi)Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for a Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.
(vii)In the event that (i) an Event of Default occurred solely pursuant to Section 13(g), and (ii) such Event of Default under Section 13(g) has been cured in accordance with the terms thereof, Buyer shall be entitled to consummate any sale of Purchased Mortgage Loans with respect to which Buyer committed to sell following the occurrence of such Event of Default and before it was cured in accordance with and as otherwise permitted under this Section 14. Upon receipt of the related sale proceeds, Buyer shall apply such proceeds to the then-outstanding Obligations. Each Seller shall continue and remain responsible for any remaining Obligations outstanding after application of such sale proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent the occurrence of any other Event of Default, Buyer hereby agrees that it shall not exercise remedies after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 13(g) if, and from the date, Buyer has received a Standstill Payment from Sellers; provided that if the Event of Default under Section 13(g) is not cured within fifteen (15) calendar days, Buyer may thereafter exercise all remedies in accordance with this Agreement and the Standstill Payment shall be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If Sellers cure the Event of Default under Section 13(g) within fifteen (15) calendar days as permitted thereunder and have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer of such cure, and provided that no other Event of Default shall have occurred, Buyer shall remit any Standstill Payment it received back to such Seller.
SECTION 15.INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES; RECOURSE
(i)Each Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify, on an after-Tax basis, any Indemnified Party against all third-party liabilities, losses, damages, and judgments, documented, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind which may be
    55
LEGAL02/43731153v4


imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a result of a breach of Section 13(g), as a result of Buyer’s compliance with the provisions of Section 14(g) or any representation or warranty contained on Schedule 1), any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or a claim by one Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party, on an after-Tax basis, against all Costs and Taxes incurred as a result of or otherwise in connection with the holding of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or any failure by such Seller or Subsidiary thereof to pay when due any Taxes for which such Person is liable, that result from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with this Agreement, any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Mortgage Loan, each Seller will save, indemnify on an after-Tax basis and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by such Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from such Seller. Each Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party promptly after billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s documented, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any other Program Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.
(ii)Each Seller agrees to pay promptly after billed by Buyer all of the reasonable, documented, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with (i) the development, preparation and execution of the Program Documents or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith and (ii) any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, any other Program Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Each Seller agrees to pay promptly after billed by Buyer all of the documented, actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation search and filing fees and all the documented, actual, reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer. Subject to the Due Diligence Cap, each Seller agrees to pay Buyer all the reasonable out of pocket due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to Mortgage Loans submitted by such Seller for purchase under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 15(a) and 17 hereof.
(iii)The obligations of Sellers from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price, the Price Differential, the Obligations and all other amounts due under this Agreement shall be full recourse obligations of the Sellers.
SECTION 16.SERVICING
(i)As a condition of purchasing a Mortgage Loan, Buyer may require a Seller to service such Mortgage Loan as agent for Buyer for a term of thirty (30) days (the “Servicing Term”). If the Servicing Term expires with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than such Purchased Mortgage Loan no longer being subject to a Transaction hereunder, then upon agreement of Buyer, such Seller shall continue to service the Purchased
    56
LEGAL02/43731153v4


Mortgage Loan for an additional thirty (30) days. Each thirty (30) day extension period shall automatically expire without notice unless Buyer agrees to any additional thirty (30) day extension period(s). The applicable Seller shall service the Purchased Mortgage Loans in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing standards and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry and in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Agencies, Requirement of Law, the provisions of any applicable servicing agreement, and the requirements of any applicable Takeout Commitment and the Approved Investor, so that the eligibility of the Mortgage Loan for purchase under such Takeout Commitment is not voided or reduced by such servicing and administration.
(ii)If any Mortgage Loan that is proposed to be sold on a Purchase Date is serviced by a servicer other than a Seller and any interim servicer for correspondent loans (a “Subservicer”), or if the servicing of any Mortgage Loan is to be transferred to a Subservicer, Sellers shall provide a copy of the related servicing agreement and a Servicer Notice executed by such Subservicer (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) to Buyer prior to such Purchase Date or servicing transfer date, as applicable. Each such Servicing Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer. In addition, Sellers shall have obtained the prior written consent of Buyer for such Subservicer to subservice the Mortgage Loans, which consent may not unreasonably be withheld or delayed; Reverse Mortgage Servicers, Inc. is approved by Buyer to subservice Mortgage Loans. In no event shall a Seller’s use of a Subservicer relieve such Seller of its obligations hereunder, and such Seller shall remain liable under this Agreement as if such Seller were servicing such Mortgage Loans directly.
(iii)Each Seller shall transfer actual servicing of each Purchased Mortgage Loan, together with all of the related Records in its possession, to Buyer’s designee and designate Buyer’s designee as the servicer in the MERS System upon the earliest of (i) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default hereunder, (ii) the termination of a Seller as interim servicer by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) the expiration (and non-renewal) of the Servicing Term, or (iv) transfer of servicing to any entity approved by Buyer and the assumption thereof by such entity. Buyer shall have the right to terminate a Seller as interim servicer of any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, which right shall be exercisable at any time in Buyer’s sole discretion, upon written notice. A Seller’s transfer of the Records and servicing under this Section shall be in accordance with customary standards in the industry and such transfer shall include the transfer of the gross amount of all escrows held for the related mortgagors (without reduction for unreimbursed advances or “negative escrows”).
(iv)During the period a Seller is servicing the Purchased Mortgage Loans as agent for Buyer, such Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of the related Credit Files and Records and such Seller shall at all times maintain and safeguard and cause the Subservicer to maintain and safeguard the servicing records included in the Credit File for the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including photocopies or images of the documents delivered to Buyer) to the extent in their possession, and accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan; a Seller’s possession of the servicing records included in the Credit Files and Records being for the sole purpose of servicing such Purchased Mortgage Loans and such retention and possession by such Seller being in a custodial capacity only.
(v)At Buyer’s request, Sellers shall promptly deliver to Buyer reports regarding the status of any Purchased Mortgage Loan being serviced by a Seller, which reports shall include, but shall not be limited to, a description of any default thereunder for more than thirty (30) days or such other circumstances that could cause a material adverse effect on such Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyer’s title to such Purchased Mortgage Loan or the collateral securing such Purchased Mortgage Loan; Sellers may be required to deliver such reports until the repurchase of the Purchased Mortgage Loan by the applicable Seller. Sellers shall immediately notify Buyer if it becomes aware of any payment default that occurs under the Purchased Mortgage Loan or any
    57
LEGAL02/43731153v4


default under any Servicing Agreement that would materially and adversely affect any Purchased Mortgage Loan subject thereto.
(vi)Each Seller shall release its custody of the contents of the servicing records included in any Credit File or Mortgage File relating to a Purchased Mortgage Loan only (i) in accordance with the written instructions of Buyer, (ii) upon the consent of Buyer when such release is required as incidental to the applicable Seller’s servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan, is required to complete the Takeout Commitment or comply with the Takeout Commitment requirements, or (iii) as required by any applicable Requirement of Law.
(vii)Buyer reserves the right to appoint a successor servicer at any time to service any Purchased Mortgage Loan (each a “Successor Servicer”) in its sole discretion. If Buyer elects to make such an appointment due to a Default or Event of Default, Sellers shall be assessed all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer associated with transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to the Successor Servicer. In the event of such an appointment, Sellers shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the servicing records included in the Credit File and related Records held by Sellers, together with all funds in the Custodial Account and other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to Successor Servicer, and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Buyer in effectuating such transfer. Subject to the terms of any applicable servicing agreement, Sellers shall have no claim for lost servicing income, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder and the servicing fee is reduced or eliminated. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Buyer as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Buyer’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.
(viii)For the avoidance of doubt, no Sellers retains economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans provided that Sellers shall continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder. As such, each Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Mortgage Loan are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis.
SECTION 17.DUE DILIGENCE
        Each Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Sellers, Settlement Agents, Approved Investors and other parties which may be involved in or related to Transactions (collectively, “Third Party Transaction Parties”), from time to time, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and the Sellers agree that upon reasonable (but not less than three (3) Business Days) prior notice to the Sellers, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, 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 the Sellers. The Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Third Party Transaction Parties to cooperate with any due diligence requests of Buyer. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer agrees that it shall exercise best efforts, in the conduct of any such due diligence, to minimize any disruption to Sellers’ normal course of business. The Sellers shall also make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans and, once Sellers and Buyer establish mutually agreeable procedures for the handling and use by Buyer of Sellers’ confidential beneficial ownership information, Sellers shall ensure that Buyer has sufficient information relating to Sellers’ beneficial ownership for purposes of Buyer’s compliance with 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230. Without limiting the generality of
    58
LEGAL02/43731153v4


the foregoing, each Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from such Seller based solely upon the information provided by such Seller to Buyer in the Mortgage Loan Schedule 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 mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Each 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 reasonable access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Sellers. Each Seller further agrees to pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 17 (the “Due Diligence Costs”); provided that no Seller shall be responsible for Due Diligence Costs in excess of the Due Diligence Cap; provided, however, that the Due Diligence Cap shall not apply upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default.
SECTION 18.ASSIGNABILITY
The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by any Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Buyer may from time to time, with the consent of Sellers which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that no consent shall be required if any such assignment by Buyer is (x) to an Affiliate of Buyer that is licensed with the State of New York Banking Department or (y) after the occurrence of an Event of Default), assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Documents to any party pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Documents. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Sellers shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing. Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Sellers; provided that any such prospective assignee shall execute a confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those set forth in Section 31 hereof.
Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (iii) Sellers shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents except as provided in Section 7; and (iv) the holder of such participation and its respective Affiliates shall not be entitled to the set off rights set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in Section 22 and shall not be entitled to conduct due diligence under Section 17, except through Buyer as its representative.
    59
LEGAL02/43731153v4


Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 18, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, and in accordance with Section 31 hereof, this Agreement and the other Program Documents and any information relating to a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.
In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities.
SECTION 19.TRANSFER AND MAINTENANCE OF REGISTER.
(i)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 19(b), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 19 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Sections 18 and 19(b) hereof.
(ii)Buyer, on Sellers’ behalf, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record Buyer’s percentage of rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Sellers’ obligations in respect of such rights. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall provide Sellers the information described in this paragraph and permit Sellers to review such information.
SECTION 20.HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS
Title to all Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Mortgage Loans, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Mortgage Loans to any Person, including without limitation, the Federal Home Loan Bank. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Mortgage Loans delivered to Buyer by Sellers. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, none of the foregoing shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Mortgage Loans to Seller pursuant to this Agreement or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Sellers pursuant to this Agreement.
Buyer may, in connection with any repurchase transaction or proposed repurchase transaction pursuant to this Section 20, disclose to the repledgee or proposed repledgee, as the case may be, this Agreement and the other Program Documents and any information relating to a Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Sellers or any of their Subsidiaries; provided that such repledgee agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.
    60
LEGAL02/43731153v4


SECTION 21.TAX TREATMENT
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Program Documents, each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Sellers that is secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Purchased Mortgage Loans as owned by Sellers in the absence of a Default by Sellers. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by any Requirement of Law (in which case such party shall promptly notify the other party of such Requirement of Law).
SECTION 22.SET-OFF
In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to the Sellers (except for such notice as may be required in connection with certain Events of Default), any such notice being expressly waived by the Sellers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Sellers hereunder beyond the expiration of any related cure period (whether by stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from the Sellers to Buyer any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims or cash, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer to or for the credit or the account of Sellers. Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Sellers after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Sellers hereunder if an Event of Default or Default has occurred.
SECTION 23.TERMINABILITY
Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. Notwithstanding any termination or the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the representations and warranties and covenants hereunder shall continue and survive. The obligations of the Sellers under Section 15 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 24.NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS
Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by electronic transmission) delivered to the intended recipient at the addresses set forth below. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

Each Seller and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that certain transactions mutually agreed upon by the parties may be conducted electronically using Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures. Each Seller and Buyer consents to the use of Electronic Records and/or Electronic Signatures whenever expressly mutually agreed by the parties and acknowledges and agrees that each Seller and Buyer shall be bound by its Electronic Signature and by the terms, conditions, requirements, information and/or instructions contained in any such Electronic Records. In particular, each Seller and Buyer agree that the documents in the Mortgage File with respect to which a Seller is permitted to deliver a copy, Sellers may deliver such documents electronically through a secure electronic portal established by Sellers and Custodian to which only the Custodian, Buyer and Sellers shall have access (the “Portal”). Buyer and Sellers hereby acknowledge that such documents delivered pursuant to the foregoing are deemed to be in Custodian’s possession for the purpose of issuing the Trust Receipt, all as provided in the Custodial Agreement.
Each Seller and Buyer agrees to adopt as its Electronic Signature its user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers, access codes, a facsimile image of a written signature and/or other symbols or processes as agreed to by Sellers and Buyer from time to time (as a group, any subgroup thereof or individually, hereinafter referred to as a Seller’s or Buyer’s Electronic Signature). Each Seller and Buyer acknowledges that Buyer and Sellers will rely on any and all Electronic Records and on a Seller’s and Buyer’s Electronic Signature transmitted or submitted to Buyer or Sellers.
Neither Sellers nor Buyer shall be liable for the failure of either its or Sellers’ or Buyer’s internet service provider, or any other telecommunications company, telephone company, satellite company or cable company to timely, properly and accurately transmit any Electronic Record or fax copy.
Before engaging in Electronic Transactions with Sellers, Buyer may provide Sellers, or require Sellers to create, user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes, as applicable, to permit access to Buyer’s computer information processing system. Each Person permitted access to the Warehouse Electronic System must have a separate identification code and password. Each Seller and Buyer shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and access codes provided or required by Buyer. Each Seller and Buyer shall adopt and maintain security measures to prevent the loss, theft or unauthorized or improper disclosure or use of any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes by Persons other than the individual Person who is authorized to use such information. Each Seller and Buyer shall notify the other parties immediately in the event (i) of any loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of any of the user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes or (ii) any party has any reason to believe there has been a breach of security or that its access to Warehouse Electronic System is no longer secure for any reason.
Each Seller and Buyer understands and agrees that it shall be fully responsible for protecting and safeguarding its computer hardware and software from any and all (a) computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that may cause or facilitate the destruction, corruption, malfunction or appropriation of, or damage or change to, any of Sellers’ or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes and (b) computer “worms,” “trap doors” or other harmful computer information, commands, codes or programs that enable unauthorized access to Sellers’
    63
LEGAL02/43731153v4


and/or Buyer’s computer information processing systems, including without limitation, all hardware, software, Electronic Records, information, data and/or codes.
Each Seller and Buyer agrees that any other party may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, without limiting such Seller’s or Buyer’s liability set forth herein, establish minimum security standards that such Seller and Buyer must, at a minimum, comply with in an effort to (x) protect and safeguard any and all user identification codes, passwords, personal identification numbers and/or access codes from loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use; and (y) prevent the infiltration and "infection" of any Seller’s or Buyer’s hardware and/or software by any and all computer “viruses,” “time bombs,” “trojan horses,” “worms,” “trapdoors” or other harmful computer codes or programs.
If Buyer or Sellers, from time to time, establishes minimum security standards, each Seller and Buyer shall comply with such minimum security standards within the time period established by Buyer or such Seller, as applicable. Buyer and each Seller shall have the right to confirm each other party’s compliance with any such minimum security standards. Each Seller’s and Buyer’s compliance with such minimum security standards shall not relieve such Seller or Buyer from any of its liability set forth herein.
Whether or not Buyer or a Seller establishes minimum security standards, each Seller and Buyer shall continue to be fully responsible for adopting and maintaining security measures that are consistent with the risks associated with conducting electronic transactions with Buyer and the Sellers. A Seller’s failure to adopt and maintain appropriate security measures or to comply with any minimum security standards established by Buyer may result in, among other things, termination of such Seller’s access to Buyer’s computer information processing systems.
Each Seller understands and agrees that certain elements or components of the Warehouse Electronic System may be provided by third party vendors, and hereby holds Buyer harmless from any liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against a Seller relating to or arising out of a Seller’s use of the Warehouse Electronic System including without limitation, the use of any elements or components provided by third party vendors.
SECTION 26.ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY; SINGLE AGREEMENT

(ii)This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code.

(iii)The parties hereby agree that any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and part of the “contract” as such term is used in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(iv)The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract” as such terms are defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder.

(vi)Each party intends that this Agreement constitutes and shall be construed and interpreted as a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of and as such terms are used in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code and each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, this Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.
SECTION 33.DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS
The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that (a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder and (b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

SCHEDULE 1
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Transaction hereunder, that as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Mortgage Loans by Buyer from Sellers and as of each date such Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction hereunder, that the following are true and correct. For purposes of this Schedule 1 and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Mortgage Loan if and when the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer adversely affects such Mortgage Loan. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to each Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by a Seller during the time that such representation is being made that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding each 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.
a.Mortgage Loans as Described. The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date.
b.Payments Current. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is thirty (30) days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan (other than a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan) been thirty (30) days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan; and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of any Sellers, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan.
c.Origination Date. Unless otherwise extended by Buyer and other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, the initial Purchase Date is no more than sixty (60) days following the origination date of the Mortgage Note.
d.Approved Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Approved Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan.
e.No Outstanding Charges. Other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, there are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid or are not delinquent, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, no Seller has advanced funds with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a HECM Loan, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one (1) month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest.
f.Original Terms Unmodified. Other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, the terms of the Mortgage Note (and the Proprietary Lease, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Stock Power with respect to each Co-op Loan) and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination except by
    Sch. 1-3
LEGAL02/43731153v4


a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as Buyer shall designate in writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian or to such other Person as Buyer shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Each Ginnie Mae Modified Loan has been modified in accordance with the Ginnie Mae guide.
g.No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan (and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease related to each Co-op Loan) is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, the terms of the Modification Agreement, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, the Modification Agreement unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated or with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, at the time the Modification Agreement was entered into.
h.Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards as are provided for in the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD guidelines, as well as all additional requirements set forth in the Approved Underwriting Guidelines. If required by the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the applicable requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration as in effect which policy conforms to the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD guidelines. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming a Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums due and owing thereon have been paid. The Mortgage 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. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy is in full force and effect. No Seller has engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor’s having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of such policy, including, without limitation, to such Seller’s knowledge, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by such Seller, in any case, to the extent it would impair coverage under any such policy.

The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or, other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or, other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would affect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission other than in the case of a release of a portion of the land comprising a Mortgaged Property or a release of a blanket Mortgage which release will not cause the Mortgage Loan to fail to satisfy the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. Other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, no Seller has waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has any Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.
k.Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. Other than with respect to a leasehold estate, the Mortgaged Property is a fee simple property located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Mortgaged Property that is a leasehold estate meets the guidelines of the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD, as applicable. The Mortgaged Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, a townhouse, a two- to four-family dwelling, an individual condominium or Co-op Unit in a low-rise or high-rise condominium or Co-op Project, an individual unit in a planned unit development, a de minimis planned unit development, or a Manufactured Home Loan affixed to real property, and that, except with respect to a Manufactured Home Loan, no residence or dwelling is (i) a mobile home or (ii) a manufactured home, provided, however, that any condominium or Co-op Unit or planned unit development shall not fall within any of the “Ineligible Projects” of part VIII, Section 102 of the Fannie Mae Selling Guide and shall conform with the Approved Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgaged Property is not raw land. As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the entire Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and no portion of the Mortgaged Property is storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes.

    Sch. 1-5
LEGAL02/43731153v4


(i)the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet delinquent.
(ii)covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and
(iii)other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and a Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer.
m.Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, material omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan or in any mortgage or flood insurance, if applicable, in relation to such Mortgage Loan. Each Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.
n.Full Disbursement of Proceeds. Except for HECM Loans, the Mortgage Loan has been closed and, except with respect to HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage Loans, HomeReady Renovation Mortgage Loans or Choice Renovation Loans, the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. With respect to Homestyle Renovation Mortgage Loans, HomeReady Renovation Mortgage Loans and Choice Renovation Loans, Sellers have made all advances and disbursements in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage and/or the terms and conditions of the related mortgage loan program. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid or are in the process of being paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage (excluding refunds that may result from escrow analysis adjustments). All points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance in all material respects with applicable state and federal law and regulation. No Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” in an amount that exceeds the applicable limits as specified under 12 CFR 1026.43(e)(3), or any successor rule or regulation, to the extent such section is applicable, and the points and fees were
    Sch. 1-6
LEGAL02/43731153v4


calculated using the calculation required under 12 CFR 1026.32(b), or any successor rule or regulation, to the extent applicable to determine compliance with applicable requirements.
o.Ownership. The related Seller is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to Buyer, such Seller will retain the Mortgage Files or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the Custodian, Buyer or Buyer’s designee, in trust for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged to a third party, subject to Takeout Commitments, and such Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to Buyer free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan (and with respect to any Co-op Loan, the sole assignee under the related Assignment of Proprietary Lease) pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer will hold such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, except any security interest created pursuant to this Agreement, subject to Takeout Commitments.

q.LTV, PMI Policy. Except as approved by one of the Agencies, FHA, VA or HUD, no Conforming Mortgage Loan other than a HECM Loan has an LTV greater than 100%. If required by the applicable Agency, FHA, VA or HUD, the Conforming Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy.

No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Conforming Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Conforming Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. The LTV of any Agency High LTV Mortgage Loan meets the requirements of the “High LTV Refinance Option” program implemented by Fannie Mae or the “Enhanced Relief Refinance” program implemented by Freddie Mac, as applicable.

contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (l) of this Schedule 1, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading.

Other than payments due but not yet thirty (30) days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and no Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan in accordance with the Ginnie Mae Modified guide and the Modification Agreement; and with respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease which would permit acceleration, and all maintenance charges and assessments (including assessments payable in the future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid to the extent required by the Fannie Mae Selling Guide, and such Seller has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor.
t.No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and, except with respect to HECM Loans, no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal to, the lien of the related Mortgage.
u.Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.

which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Except for HECM Loans, no Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization. Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loan that is not a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan (unless such Mortgage Loan is a HECM Loan). The mortgage interest rate as well as the lifetime rate cap and the periodic cap, if any, are as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Unless otherwise specified and except for HECM Loans, the Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each month. There are no Mortgage Loans which contain a provision allowing the Mortgagor to convert the Mortgage Note from an adjustable interest rate Mortgage Note to a fixed interest rate Mortgage Note.
w.Customary Provisions.

The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan is in accordance with Approved Underwriting Guidelines or employs objective quantitative principles which relate the Mortgagor’s credit characteristics, income, assets and liabilities (as applicable to a particular underwriting program) to the proposed payment, and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Except for HECM Loans, such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan.
y.Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date, the occupancy status of the Mortgaged Property is in accordance with Approved Underwriting Guidelines.
