With respect to each REO Property, real estate taxes and homeowner’s association and condominium fees due and payable in the year of the Cut-off Date shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser on a calendar year basis to the Cut-off Date.

Real estate taxes and homeowner’s association and condominium fees payable in the years subsequent to the year of the Cut-off Date shall be paid by Purchaser. All installments of special assessments certified for payment with the real estate taxes due and payable in the year of the Cut-off Date shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser on a calendar year basis to the Cut-off Date. Seller shall pay all installments of special assessments certified for payment with the real estate taxes due and payable in the years prior to the year of the Cut-off Date.

- 10 -


(h) Security Deposits. Any security deposits, other similar deposits, or down payments that have been paid to Seller under leases, contracts of sale, or otherwise in respect of REO Property shall not be prorated but shall be credited to Purchaser on the applicable Closing Date, and Seller shall notify the lessee or other appropriate party of such transfer.

(i) Proration of Rents. Rental payments under REO Property leases shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Cut-off Date.

(j) Possession of REO Properties. Possession of each REO Property shall be delivered on the Closing Date applicable to such REO Property, subject, however, to the rights of all tenants and occupants. On or within two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date Seller shall deliver to Purchaser such rent roll information as Seller then possesses relative to such REO Property.

(k) Extension to Correct Title. If, within three (3) Business Days prior to the initial Closing Date, Purchaser (i) advises Seller in writing that, with respect to one or more specified REO Properties (each, a “Section 2.3(k) Property”), it has obtained a commitment for title insurance that does not commit to insure Purchaser’s title to such Section 2.3(k) Property subject only to Permitted Exceptions, and (ii) delivers to Seller a copy of each such commitment for title insurance, then, the Closing with respect to each such Section 2.3(k) Property shall be extended for a period of up to ninety (90) days (the “REO Closing Extension”). During the REO Closing Extension, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Purchaser, with respect to each Section 2.3(k) Property, a commitment for title insurance issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that commits to insure Purchaser’s title to such Section 2.3(k) Property subject only to Permitted Exceptions; provided, that Seller’s exercise of commercially reasonable efforts in that regard shall in no event require it to expend in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (including attorneys’ fees) in respect of any one Section 2.3(k) Property. The covenants set forth in Section 6.1 shall be applicable to any Section 2.3(k) Property during the REO Closing Extension. In the event there is an REO Closing Extension with respect to any Section 2.3(k) Properties, the Closing shall proceed as to the remainder of the Assets and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price that otherwise would have been attributable to the Loan(s) from which the Section 2.3(k) Properties arose. If Seller timely succeeds in obtaining, with respect to any Section 2.3(k) Property, a commitment for title insurance of the character previously specified in this Section 2.3(k), then, Seller shall give notice thereof to Purchaser and the Closing of the purchase and sale of such Section 2.3(k) Property, for an amount equal to the portion

 

- 11 -


of the Purchase Price that otherwise would have been attributable to the Loan from which the Section 2.3(k) Property arose, subject to adjustments and prorations as provided for in this Agreement, shall occur within seven (7) Business Days after the giving of such notice, and Purchaser and Seller shall agree in writing upon the specific Closing Date for such Section 2.3(k) Property. If, with respect to any Section 2.3(k) Property, Seller fails to timely obtain such a commitment for title insurance, the terms and provisions of Sections 2.3(l) and 2.3(m) shall apply and govern.

(l) Failure to Obtain Appropriate Commitment. If, at the expiration of the REO Closing Extension, Seller has been unable to obtain with respect to any Section 2.3(k) Property, a commitment for title insurance of the character specified in Section 2.3(k), then, unless Purchaser exercises the option provided for in Section 2.3(m), the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to each such Section 2.3(k) Property shall cease and this Agreement, with respect to each such Section 2.3(k) Property, shall be void without any recourse to the parties hereto.

(m) Purchaser’s Election to Waive. Notwithstanding any provision above to the contrary, with respect to any Section 2.3(k) Property that is the subject of an REO Closing Extension, Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller at any time within seven (7) Business Days following the conclusion of the REO Closing Extension, to accept such title to the subject Section 2.3(k) Property as Seller can deliver and to pay therefor an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price that otherwise would have been attributable to the Loan from which such Section 2.3(k) Property arose, without deduction, but subject to adjustments and prorations as provided for in this Agreement, in which case, Seller shall convey such title.

(n) Special Arrangements Concerning Loan #210047153. With respect to the Asset that is listed in the Asset Schedule and in Exhibit N-2 as Loan #210047153 and which involved a Mortgaged Property located on Renee Avenue in Struthers, Ohio (the “Struthers Asset”), Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that although the Struthers Asset is listed as a Loan in the Asset Schedule and in Exhibit N-2, Seller recently acquired title to the relevant Mortgaged Property and, as such, notwithstanding such listing, the Struthers Asset will be (i) transferred by Seller as an REO Property in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, and (ii) otherwise considered an REO Property for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Collateral Assignments

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designee, in accordance with the delivery arrangements provided for in Section 2.2 hereof, (i) with respect to each Note, an original allonge, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3 with such modifications, if any, as may be required

 

- 12 -


for enforceability and/or recording under local law or custom, duly executed by Seller, and (ii) original unrecorded Assignments of Mortgage duly executed by Seller and covering each of the Mortgages. In addition, with respect to each Loan that is identified on attached Exhibit N-1, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designee, in accordance with the delivery arrangements provided for in Section 2.2 hereof, (x) original unrecorded Assignments of Assignments of Leases and Rents, if applicable, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-4 with such modifications as may be required for enforceability and/or recording under local law or custom, duly executed by Seller, and (y) such other documents, assignments, affidavits and instruments of transfer, if any, as are necessary under applicable law to effect the sale and transfer of such Assets (collectively, the “Loan Transfer Documents”). Seller authorizes Purchaser, following the Closing Date, to prepare and file with respect to personal property collateral for each of the Loans, appropriate financing statement assignments of the character specified in Section 9-514(b) of the Uniform Commercial Code. Purchaser agrees to prepare and file such financing statement assignments at its own cost and expense. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that any qualifying language in the Loan Transfer Documents regarding them being delivered without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind or nature shall not affect, limit or enlarge the obligations of the Seller or the rights, remedies and recourse of Purchaser under this Agreement, and, in that regard, in the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Loan Transfer Documents, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

Section 2.5 Post-Closing Correction Statement

Not later than sixty (60) days after the initial Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a statement setting forth any proposed corrections to the amount of the Purchase Price, together with appropriate documentation relating to such corrections (the “Correction Statement”). If Purchaser does not receive a written objection from Seller to the proposed Correction Statement within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of the proposed Correction Statement, the proposed Correction Statement shall become the final Correction Statement for all purposes under this Agreement. If Seller objects to the proposed Correction Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then Seller and Purchaser shall use their reasonable, diligent and good faith efforts to attempt to resolve Seller’s objections to the proposed Correction Statement during the thirty (30) day period following the receipt by Purchaser of Seller’s objection (the “Mediation Period”). If the parties are unable to agree on a final Correction Statement during the Mediation Period, then as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Mediation Period, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days thereof, the determination of the final Correction Statement shall be submitted for final determination to a firm of independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing and acceptable to Seller and Purchaser. The fees of such accounting firm shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. Not later than the tenth Business Day following the accounting firm’s determination with respect to the final Correction Statement, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, in cash, the amount by which the Purchase Price, as set forth in the final Correction Statement, exceeds the Purchase Price paid at Closing, or, in the alternative, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, in cash, the amount by which the Purchase Price paid at Closing exceeds the Purchase Price as set forth in the final Correction Statement.

(e) Third Party Claim Procedure.

(i) Notice. If Purchaser or Seller receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any action by a third party in respect of which it believes it is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), it shall give the indemnifying party prompt notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the Third Party Claim and, if ascertainable, the amount in dispute under the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of Purchaser or Seller to give a Claim Notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations to provide indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) Defense. In the event of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall have the right to elect to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, with counsel of its choice that is reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party and at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, if the indemnifying party (i) has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the indemnifying party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, shall provide indemnification to the indemnified party in respect thereof, and (ii) if requested by the party seeking indemnification, has provided evidence, reasonably satisfactory to such party, of the indemnifying party’s financial ability to satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder in respect of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the party seeking indemnification may participate therein through separate counsel chosen by it and at its sole cost and expense.

(iii) Cooperation. From and after delivery of a Claim Notice of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party and the party seeking indemnification shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate in connection with the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the indemnifying party or the party seeking indemnification in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall have the right to consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into a settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the party seeking indemnification if the judgment or settlement (i) involves only the payment of money damages (which will be paid in full by the indemnifying party concurrently with the effectiveness thereof) and (ii) includes, as a condition thereof, a complete and irrevocable release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(f) Exclusive Remedy. Except for remedies for injunctive relief, if a Closing Date occurs, the indemnification rights set forth in this Section 3.5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims arising out of this Agreement, or out of any other document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith.

(b) Subject to any relevant limitations imposed by the terms and conditions of Section 6.2, during the period from the effective date of this Agreement until the (i) the Servicing Transfer Date with respect to the Serviced Loans, and (ii) the Closing Date with respect to the other Assets, Seller shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with the servicing and administration of such Asset that Seller deems necessary or desirable, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that Seller shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to not), without the prior written consent of Purchaser in its sole discretion (A) modify or commit to modify any Loan (including, without limitation, a release of any collateral or any party from liability on or with respect to any such Loan), (B) forgive or commit to forgive principal in respect of any Loan, (C) accept or commit to accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in respect of any Loan, (D) conduct or commit to conduct any short sale in respect of any Mortgaged Property that secures a Loan, (E) commence, take material steps in furtherance of, or complete any foreclosure action in respect of any Loan or commence, take material steps in furtherance of, or complete any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding against any Obligor — even though such conduct on the part of Seller may not constitute Accepted Servicing Practices, (F) settle or compromise or commit to settle or compromise any condemnation or insurance claim or proceeding in respect of any Loan or REO Property, (G) settle or compromise or commit to settle or compromise any existing litigation or other proceedings in respect of any Loan, or (H) sell or commit to sell any Asset.

Section 6.2 Transfer of Servicing.

(a) Seller shall transfer to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s Designee (or their respective servicers), as applicable, (i) the servicing of each of the Serviced Loans on the Servicing Transfer Date, and (ii) the servicing of each REO Property, and of each Loan that is not a Serviced Loan, on the Closing Date applicable to each such Loan and REO Property. Seller acknowledges that Purchaser and Purchaser’s Designee each has its own servicer for the Loans and REO Properties that it will be acquiring, and that as such, the transfer of servicing will need to be bifurcated between those two servicers.

(b) On the Servicing Transfer Date, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(c)(vii), Seller also shall remit to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s Designee, as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to such account as is designated by Purchaser in writing, any amounts received by Seller with respect to any Asset on or following the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any payments of interest, principal (including prepayments), penalties, premium, recovery, escrowed amounts or the like). In addition, on or before a mutually agreed upon date following the Closing Date, Seller also shall provide to Purchaser, in electronic formats mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, remittance and servicing reports with respect to pre-Closing Date collections and other servicing activities relating to the Loans and REO Properties.

 

- 22 -


(c) In connection with the transfer of servicing, the following shall apply:

(i) Notice to Obligors. As soon as practicable following the initial Closing Date and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the initial Closing Date, Seller shall mail to the primary Obligor of each Loan a letter (a “Loan Transfer Letter”) advising such Obligor of the transfer of the ownership and servicing of the Loan to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s Designee (or their respective servicers). With respect to the primary Obligor of each Serviced Loan, the Loan Transfer Letter shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, and with respect to the primary Obligor of each Loan that is not a Serviced Loan, the Loan Transfer Letter shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit K. In addition, Seller shall mail to the primary Obligor of each Loan that is identified on the Asset Schedule as either a “45-HELOC” or a “51-Consumer,” contemporaneously with the mailing of the Loan Transfer Letter, a letter requesting that, by virtue of the transfer of the Loan to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s Designee, such Obligor (A) inform its insurance companies or insurance agents of such Loan transfer, and (B) direct such companies or agents to change the loss payee mortgage endorsement clause to, as applicable, Purchaser’s or to Purchaser’s Designee’s name. On or before the Servicing Transfer Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of all such letters that have been mailed to Obligors.

(ii) Notice to Insurance Companies. Seller shall inform, in writing, all hazard, flood, earthquake, private mortgage and any other insurance companies and/or their agents providing insurance with respect to any REO Property or any Loan (other than one that is identified on the Asset Schedule as either a “45-HELOC or a “51-Consumer”) of the transfer of such Loan or REO Property and, where appropriate, request a change in the loss payee mortgage endorsement clause to Purchaser’s or to Purchaser’s Designee’s name. With respect to each Loan and REO Property, Seller shall provide a copy of such writing to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s Designee, as applicable, as soon as possible after the date on which the servicing of such Loan or REO Property has been transferred. With respect to each Loan that is covered by a force placed insurance policy, Seller shall provide to Purchaser at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing a list of all such Loans and information required to replace such insurance, and Seller shall cause such insurance to be canceled as of the date on which the servicing of such Loan is transferred to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s Designee if Seller has complied with the foregoing notice requirements to Purchaser.

(iii) Delivery of Servicing Records. On or before a mutually agreed upon date following the Servicing Transfer Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, with respect to the Serviced Loans, an updated information report, in an electronic format mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, that reflects the status of payments, balances and other pertinent information on the Serviced Loans as of the Servicing Transfer Date (such information shall include comprehensive tax and insurance information for each Serviced Loan, identifying payee, payee address, next payment Due Date, next amount payable, policy number/parcel number, and such other data fields as Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree upon). Seller shall also deliver to Purchaser, on or before a mutually agreed upon date preceding the Servicing Transfer Date, preliminary records that shall (A) include all computer files maintained by Seller with respect to the Serviced Loans, (B) include electronic trial balance reports and schedules if requested by Purchaser, and (C) be in a format and storage medium mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser.

 

- 23 -


(iv) Escrow Payments. Within three (3) Business Days following the Servicing Transfer Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with an accounting statement, in an electronic format mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser, of Escrow Balances, Escrow Payments, suspense balances and other payments, for taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, security deposits, water, sewer and municipal charges sufficient to enable Purchaser to reconcile the amounts of such payments with the accounts of the related Serviced Loans. Additionally, Seller shall wire transfer to Purchaser the amount of any agency, trustee or prepaid Loan payments and all other similar amounts held by Seller on the Servicing Transfer Date and, if Seller receives such amounts after the Servicing Transfer Date, within three (3) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of such amounts.

(v) Servicing Advances. From the effective date of this Agreement until the date on which servicing of a Loan or REO Property is transferred by Seller to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designee (or their respective servicers), Seller shall make, with respect to each Loan and REO Property, Servicing Advances in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be obligated to reimburse Seller, and Seller shall not be obligated to make, any Servicing Advance in excess of $1,000 (other than for attorney or receivership fees, property taxes, forced place insurance and emergency items) without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall be deemed to have been granted if Purchaser shall not have replied to Seller’s request to make the Servicing Advance within ten (10) Business Days of the request by Seller. Notwithstanding the forgoing proviso, Seller shall advance, and Purchaser shall be obligated to reimburse Seller for, any Servicing Advances to the extent that they related to the payment of attorney or receivership fees, taxes, assessments, any insurance premiums relating to any Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or amounts required for the preservation and protection of any Mortgaged Property or REO Property in the event of any emergency if it is not reasonably practical to obtain Purchaser’s consent prior to making such preservation/protective advances.

(vi) Documentation of Expenses. On the Servicing Transfer Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designee (or their respective servicers), with copies of all receipts, invoices and bills pertaining to foreclosure expenses, attorney’s fees, bankruptcy fees and other Servicing Advances paid by Seller during the period from the Cut-off Date through the Servicing Transfer Date. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for such Servicing Advances, in accordance with Section 6.2(c)(v), within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the documentation related to such Servicing Advances.

(vii) Payments Received Prior to the Servicing Transfer Date. Prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, Seller shall cause all payments received by Seller during the Interim Servicing Period in respect (x) of Serviced Loans to be properly applied to the account of the appropriate Obligor, and (y) of any other Loan to be paid to Purchaser on the Servicing Transfer Date. Any unapplied funds and suspense payments shall be wire transferred to Purchaser on the Servicing Transfer Date and shall be applied by Purchaser as deemed appropriate in Purchaser’s sole discretion.

(viii) Payments Received after the Servicing Transfer Date. The amount of any Monthly Payments received by Seller after the Servicing Transfer Date shall promptly be forwarded to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s Designee with appropriate endorsement where required. Seller shall notify Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designee of the particulars of the payment, which notification requirement shall be satisfied if Seller forwards with its payment sufficient information to permit appropriate processing of the payment by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designee.

 

- 24 -


(ix) Insurance Premiums. Seller shall pay all Servicing Advances in respect of private mortgage insurance premiums and all hazard, flood, earthquake and other insurance premiums for insurance covering any of the Assets for which bills have been received by Seller prior to the date on which servicing of such Asset is transferred by Seller to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designee (or their respective servicers), and Seller shall be reimbursed for any such Servicing Advances for insurance premiums in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.2(c)(vi). Seller shall send to Purchaser any such bills that are received by Seller on or after the date on which servicing of the Asset in question is transferred by Seller to Purchaser.

(x) Real Estate Taxes. Seller acknowledges its representations and warranties that are contained in Exhibits D-1 and D-2 in paragraphs captioned “Real Estate Taxes.” Real estate taxes paid by Seller (other than from an Escrow Balance) on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to periods that extend beyond the Closing Date shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Closing Date.

(xi) Delivery of Other Information. No later than ten (10) Business Days after the Servicing Transfer Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser or Purchaser’s Designee, as applicable, copies of all cut-off or accounting reports relating to the Serviced Loans as of the Servicing Transfer Date, including a trial balance and reports of collections, delinquencies, prepayments, curtailments, Escrow Payments, Escrow Balances, partial payments, partial payment balances and other like information on the Serviced Loans. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser any correspondence relating to an Asset that Seller receives after the date on which it transfers the servicing of that Asset to Purchaser, such as tax bills, insurance bills, borrower letters and the like. All such correspondence shall be forwarded to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of the day on which Seller receives it via (A) overnight courier until thirty (30) days after the Servicing Transfer Date, and (B) regular mail thereafter.

(xii) Misapplied Payments. Misapplied payments shall be processed as follows:

(A) All parties shall cooperate in correcting misapplication errors;

(B) The party receiving notice of a misapplied payment occurring prior to the Servicing Transfer Date and discovered after the Servicing Transfer Date shall immediately notify the other party;

(C) If a misapplied payment that occurred after the Cut-off Date but prior to the Servicing Transfer Date cannot be identified and said misapplied payment has resulted in a shortage in a custodial account or Escrow Balance, Seller shall be liable for the amount of such shortage. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the amount of such shortage within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written demand therefor from Purchaser;

(D) If a misapplied payment that occurred prior to the Servicing Transfer Date has created an incorrect Purchase Price as the result of an inaccurate outstanding principal balance, a check shall be issued to the party disadvantaged by the incorrect payment application within ten (10) Business Days after notice therefor by the other party; and

(E) Any check issued hereunder shall be accompanied by a statement indicating the Seller and/or Purchaser Asset identification number and an explanation of the allocation of any such payments.

 

- 25 -


(xiii) IRS Forms. Seller shall file all IRS forms 1099, 1099A, and 1098 that are required to be filed for the period from January 1, 2012 through the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall cause all such filings to be made for subsequent periods. Seller and Purchaser each shall provide copies of such forms to the other upon request. Seller shall mail year-end statements reporting interest income and interest expense to the Obligors for the period from January 1, 2012 through the dates on which the transfer of servicing occurs with respect to the various Loans, and Purchaser shall cause year-end statements reporting interest income and interest expense to be mailed to the Obligors for subsequent periods.

(xiv) Loans in Litigation. On or prior to the Servicing Transfer Date, Purchaser, at its cost, shall deliver to Seller for Seller’s execution any and all documents necessary to substitute Purchaser for Seller in any then-pending litigation, bankruptcy, receivership, foreclosure, or arbitration proceeding (A) involving any of the Loans or REO Property and in which Seller is a party, and (B) concerning which (1) the Loan File contains one or more pleadings or other court filings that identify the forum in which the matter is pending, or other materials that describe the proceeding in reasonable detail, or (2) Seller provided to Purchaser, during the period between the Cut-off Date and the Closing Date, a written notice that identified the forum in which the matter is pending and otherwise described the proceeding in reasonable detail (collectively, the “Pending Actions”). Such documents (the “Substitution Documents”) shall be reasonably satisfactory to Seller. Within five (5) Business Days following its receipt thereof, Seller shall execute the Substitution Documents and return them to Purchaser. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, in connections with Purchaser’s filing of the Substitution Documents. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may retain Seller’s existing legal counsel in connection with any one or more of the Pending Actions, provided, that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall retain or continue to engage any such counsel with respect to any Pending Action if it involves a conflict of interest between Seller and Purchaser — and any engagement letter or conflicts waiver entered into with such counsel after the Closing Date shall so provide. In addition, with respect to bankruptcy proofs of claim, if any, that have been filed by Seller in any of the Pending Actions, if Purchaser so requests, Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser such assignments of such claims as Purchaser shall prepare and submit to Seller in forms that are reasonably acceptable to Seller.

(xv) Notices to Attorneys. Within three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date, Seller shall mail to each of its attorneys in the Pending Actions a letter advising such attorney that Seller has sold the relevant Loans or REO Property to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Seller shall provide Purchaser with copies of such letters no later than the Servicing Transfer Date.

Section 7.12 Intention of the Parties

It is the intention of the parties that Purchaser is purchasing, and Seller is selling assets and not a debt instrument or other security of Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the transaction hereunder for federal income tax purposes as a sale by Seller, and a purchase by Purchaser, of assets. It is not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of assets by Seller or Purchaser or any assignee of Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Seller.

Section 7.13 Costs

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party will pay all costs, fees, and expenses (including the fees of its attorneys) incurred by it in connection with the negotiations for, documenting of, and closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Seller shall be responsible for preparing, and for the cost of preparing, each Assignment and Conveyance, each of the Loan Transfer Documents and each of the REO Transfer Documents that are to be mailed/delivered by Seller on the Closing Date pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 2.2. In that regard, Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that Seller will be preparing each of such Loan Transfer Documents on forms (i.e., Exhibits B-2, B-3 and B-4) that were provided by Purchaser and, accordingly, Seller and Purchaser agree that if, post-Closing, Purchaser concludes that any such Loan Transfer Documents need to be revised in order to satisfy applicable recordation requirements, Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing, and for the cost of preparing, any such revised documents. Purchaser shall be responsible for the costs of recordation and filing of all documents referenced in this paragraph.

Section 7.14 Waiver of Jury Trial

EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY, WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW) ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

EXHIBIT D-1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO

CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS

With respect to the Loans that are (i) identified on the Asset Schedule as Asset types “45-HELOC,” “50-Resi,” and “51-Consumer,” and (ii) secured by one- to four-family residential real estate (as used in this Exhibit D-1, each such Loan, a “D-1 Loan”, and all such Loans, collectively, the “D-1 Loans”), except for the exceptions set forth on the Exception Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit E (as such Exception Schedule may be modified, and as so modified, delivered to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), or as otherwise disclosed on the Asset Schedule, Seller represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Assets as Described. With respect to each D-1 Loan, (i) the information contained in the Asset Schedule and in the Data Tape is true and correct in all material respects, (ii) the information contained in the relevant Loan File is true and correct in all material respects and such Loan File contains all material agreements and documents necessary to reflect the material terms of the subject D-1 Loan, and (iii) there is no obligation to make additional loan advances to the Obligor.

(b) Real Estate Taxes. With respect to each D-1 Loan that (i) was originated and closed as a closed-end (as opposed to an open-end/line of credit) loan, (ii) is identified on the Data Tape as being secured by a first priority lien, (iii) is not identified on the Asset Schedule as “51-Consumer,” and (iv) does not involve an Exhibit F Obligor, all real estate taxes on the subject Mortgaged Property that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date have been, or as of the Closing Date will be, paid in full.

(c) Original Terms Unmodified. With respect to each D-1 Loan, except as otherwise reflected in documentation contained in the relevant Loan File, (i) the terms of the Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered, or modified in any material respect, and (ii) no Obligor has been released, in whole or in part.

(d) No Valid Defenses. None of the D-1 Loans is subject to any valid right of rescission or set-off, or to any valid counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, ones potentially arising under federal, state, or local usury or consumer credit protection laws, and, except as is otherwise disclosed in the Loan Files, no right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect to any D-1 Loan.

(e) Hazard and Flood Insurance. With respect to each D-1 Loan that (i) was originated and closed as a closed-end (as opposed to an open-end/line of credit) loan, (ii) is identified on the Data Tape as being secured by a first priority lien, and (iii) is not identified on the Asset Schedule as “51-Consumer,” all buildings or other improvements upon the subject Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement value of the improvements or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. With respect to each such Mortgaged Property that secures a closed-end (as opposed to an open-end/line of credit) loan that (i) is identified on the Data Tape as being encumbered by a first priority lien, and (ii) is located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurer in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (A) the minimum amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid

 

D-1-1


balance of the D-1 Loan if replacement cost coverage was not available for the type of building insured) or (B) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. With respect to the foregoing coverages, all individual (as opposed to group) insurance policies, other than those individual policies that were force-placed by Seller, contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid.

(f) Title Insurance. With respect to each D-1 Loan that (i) was originated and closed as a closed-end (as opposed to an open-end/line-of-credit) loan, (ii) is identified on the Data Tape as being secured by a first priority lien, and (iii) is not identified on the Asset Schedule as “51-Consumer,” (A) the relevant Mortgage is covered by (1) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the D-1 Loan, (2) a title guaranty, or (3) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, and (B) a copy of such documentation is contained in the relevant Loan File.

(g) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. With respect to each of the D-1 Loans, except as otherwise reflected in documents contained in the relevant Loan File, (i) the relevant Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, (ii) the relevant Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, and (iii) Seller has not waived the performance by the Obligor of any action, if the Obligor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Loan to be in default, or waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Obligor.

(h) Valid First Lien. With respect to each of the D-1 Loans, the relevant Mortgage, unless identified on the Data Tape as a lower priority lien, is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the relevant Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect thereto, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

(i) Validity of Mortgage Documents; Remedies. With respect to each of the D-1 Loans, the relevant Note and Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by anti-deficiency, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Each such Mortgage, together with applicable state law, provide remedies adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby.

(j) No Fraud. To the Knowledge of Seller, no material misrepresentation, fraud, or similar occurrence was committed by any person, including without limitation, the Obligor, any appraiser, any builder or any other party involved (i) in the origination of the D-1 Loans, or (ii) in the application of any insurance in relation to such Loans.

D-1-2


serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and (ii) no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Obligor.

(m) No Condemnation Proceedings. With respect to the D-1 Loans, to the Knowledge of Seller, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property.

(n) Mortgaged Property Undamaged. With respect to the D-1 Loans, to the Knowledge of Seller, no Mortgaged Property has been damaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the subject D-1 Loan.

(o) Collection Practices. With respect to the D-1 Loans, the servicing and collection practices employed, including with respect to each foreclosure action that has been initiated or suspended, have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of the relevant Notes.

(p) Due on Sale. With respect to each of the D-1 Loans, the relevant Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payments of the unpaid principal balance of such Loan in the event the relevant Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

With respect to the Mortgaged Property that secures the D-1 Loans, to the Knowledge of Seller, (i) there are no existing violations of any local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation, and (ii) there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving any such Mortgaged Property in which a failure to comply with any such environmental law, rule or regulation has been asserted.

EXHIBIT D-2

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO

ASSETS OTHER THAN D-1 LOANS

With respect to the Assets identified on the Asset Schedule that are not D-1 Loans, as such term is defined in Exhibit D-1 (such Assets, the “D-2 Assets”, and the D-2 Assets, exclusive of the REO Property, the “Non-REO D-2 Assets”), except for the exceptions set forth on the Exception Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit E (as such Exception Schedule may be modified, and as so modified, delivered to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), or as otherwise disclosed on the Asset Schedule, Seller represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Assets as Described.

With respect to the foregoing coverages that relate to Mortgaged Property securing D-2 Mortgage Loans, all individual (as opposed to group) insurance policies, other than those individual policies that were force-placed by Seller, contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid.

(f) Title Insurance. With respect to each D-2 Mortgage Loan that is identified on the Data Tape as being secured by a first priority lien and that had an original principal balance in excess of $250,000 (i) the relevant Mortgage is covered by (a) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and insuring the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage (or lower priority if the Mortgage is identified as such on the Data Tape) in the original principal amount of the D-2 Mortgage Loan, (b) a title guaranty, or (c) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, and (ii) a copy of such documentation is contained in the relevant Loan File.

(g) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. With respect to each of the D-2 Mortgage Loans, except as is otherwise reflected in documents contained in the relevant Loan File, (i) the relevant Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, (ii) the relevant Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, and (iii) Seller has not waived the performance by the Obligor of any action, if the Obligor’s failure to perform such action would cause such Loan to be in default, or waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Obligor.

(h) Valid First Lien. With respect to each D-2 Mortgage Loan, the relevant Mortgage, unless identified on the Data Tape as a lower priority lien, is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the relevant Mortgaged Property, including all buildings and improvements on the Mortgaged Property, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect thereto, subject only to Permitted Exceptions. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document contained in the Loan File of any D-2 Loan, unless identified on the Data Tape as a lower priority lien, establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the personal property described therein.

(i) Validity of Mortgage Documents; Remedies. With respect to each of the D-2 Loans, the relevant Note and, if applicable, the relevant Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by anti-deficiency, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). With respect to each D-2 Mortgage Loan, the relevant Mortgage, together with applicable state law, provides remedies adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby.

(j) Cross-Collateralization. No D-2 Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any loan that is not another Loan.

 

D-2-2


(k) No Fraud. To the Knowledge of Seller, no material misrepresentation, fraud, or similar occurrence was committed by any person, including without limitation, the Obligor, any appraiser, any builder or any other party involved (i) in the origination of the D-2 Loans, or (ii) in the application of any insurance in relation to such Loans.

(l) Ownership. Seller has good title to and, except for participation interests in D-2 Loans that are disclosed in documents contained in relevant Loan Files, Seller is the sole owner of the Non-REO D-2 Assets. As of the Closing Date, Seller shall have full right to transfer and sell the Non-REO D-2 Assets to Purchaser free and clear of any lien, pledge, charge, claim, or security interest, other than participation interests in D-2 Loans that are disclosed in documents contained in relevant Loan Files.

(m) Deeds of Trust. With respect to each D-2 Mortgage Loan concerning which the relevant Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, to the Knowledge of Seller, (i) a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and (ii) no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Obligor.

(n) No Condemnation Proceedings. To the Knowledge of Seller, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any REO Property or of any Mortgaged Property that secures a D-2 Mortgage Loan.

(o) Mortgaged Property Undamaged.

(p) Collection Practices. With respect to the D-2 Loans, the servicing and collection practices employed, including with respect to each foreclosure action that has been initiated or suspended, have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of the relevant Notes.

(q) Due on Sale.

(s) Leases and Repairs.

Seller has not performed any work, or ordered any work to be performed, at any REO Property that has not been fully paid for.

 

D-2-3


(t) Evictions.

You should also be aware of the following information, which is set out in more detail in Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) (12 U.S.C. 2605):

During the 60-day period following the effective date of the transfer of the loan servicing, a loan payment received by your old servicer before its due date may not be treated by the new loan servicer as late, and a late fee may not be imposed on you.

Section 6 of RESPA (12. U.S.C. 2605) gives you certain consumer rights. If you send a “qualified written request” to your loan servicer concerning the servicing of your loan, your servicer must provide you with a written acknowledgement within 20 Business Days of receipt of your request. A “qualified written request” is a written correspondence, other than notice on a payment coupon or other payment medium supplied by the servicer, which includes your name and account number, and your reasons for the request. If you want to send a “qualified written request” regarding the servicing of your loan, it must be sent to this address:

During this 60 Business Day period, your servicer may not provide information to a consumer reporting agency concerning any overdue payment related to such period or qualified written request. However, this does not prevent the servicer from initiating foreclosure if proper grounds exist under the mortgage documents.

A Business Day is a day on which the offices of the business entity are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of its business functions.

Section 6 of RESPA also provides for damages and costs for individuals or classes of individuals in circumstances where servicers are shown to have violated the requirements of that Section. You should seek legal advice if you believe your rights have been violated.
