import) with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if
any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of
a specific date, as of such specific date);

(iv)No Margin Deficit.  After giving effect to the requested Transaction, the
Asset Value of all Purchased Assets exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price for

(New York Time) on the related Purchase Date, Sellers have delivered to Buyer
(A) a Transaction Request; (B) an Asset Schedule and (C) a countersigned a copy

(excluding accrued but unpaid Price Differential) for all prior outstanding

‑23‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ix)No Material Adverse Change.  None of the following have occurred and/or be
continuing:

(A)an event or events have occurred in the good faith determination of Buyer
resulting in the effective absence of a “repo market” or comparable “lending
market” for financing debt obligations secured by securities or an event or
events have occurred resulting in Buyer not being able to finance Purchased
Assets through the “repo market” or “lending market” with traditional
counterparties at rates which would have been reasonable prior to the occurrence
of such event or events; or

(B)an event or events have occurred resulting in the effective absence of a
“securities market” for securities backed by mortgage loans or an event or
events have occurred resulting in Buyer not being able to sell securities backed
by mortgage loans at prices which would have been reasonable prior to such event
or events; or

(C)there has occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of
Buyer which affects (or can reasonably be expected to affect) materially and
adversely the ability of Buyer to fund its obligations under this Repurchase
Agreement;

(x)Approval of Servicing Agreement.  To the extent not previously delivered and
approved, Buyer shall have, in its sole discretion, approved each Servicing
Agreement pursuant to which any Purchased Asset that is subject to the proposed
Transaction is serviced.

(xi)Underlying Repurchase Transaction.  If such Transaction is an Underlying
Repurchase Transaction, (x) Buyer shall have received and approved the
Underlying Repurchase Documents in its sole discretion and following such
approval received duly executed copies thereof by the parties thereto and (y)
PMC shall have satisfied all conditions precedent to the entry into such
Underlying Repurchase Transaction under the applicable Underlying Repurchase
Agreement.

(xii)Servicer Notice.  To the extent not previously delivered, Sellers shall
have provided to Buyer a Servicer Notice in the form of Exhibit F hereto
addressed to, agreed to and executed by Servicer, Sellers and Buyer.

(xiii)Minimum Profitability. As of the related Purchase Date, Guarantor has not
permitted its Net Income before taxes in the aggregate to be less than the

‑24‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Minimum Profitability Threshold for the two consecutive calendar quarters
preceding such Purchase Date.

Each Transaction Request delivered by Sellers hereunder will constitute a
certification by Sellers that all the conditions set forth in this Section 3(b)
(other than clauses (viii) and (ix) hereof) have been satisfied (both as of the
date of such notice or request and as of Purchase Date).

(c)Initiation.

(i)Sellers will deliver a Transaction Request to Buyer on or prior to the date
and time set forth above prior to entering into any Transaction.  Such
Transaction Request will include an Asset Schedule with respect to the Mortgage
Loans to be sold in such requested Transaction.  Buyer will confirm the terms of
such Transaction by sending a Transaction Confirmation to Sellers which will be
executed by Sellers prior to Buyer entering into such Transaction.  Each
Transaction Confirmation, together with this Repurchase Agreement, is conclusive
evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby.  

(ii)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Repurchase Agreement, during
such period Sellers may sell, repurchase and resell Eligible Mortgage Loans
hereunder.

(iii)No later than the date and time set forth above, Sellers shall deliver to
Custodian the Mortgage File pertaining to each Eligible Mortgage Loan to be
purchased by Buyer.

(iv)Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the Purchase Price will then be
made available to Sellers by Buyer transferring, via wire transfer, in the
aggregate amount of such Purchase Price in funds immediately available.

 

(d)Underlying Repurchase Transactions.

(i)With respect to any Purchased Asset that is sold by PMC to Buyer in a
Transaction, in the event that such Purchased Asset is subsequently sold by PMC
to POP, PMC may sell such Purchased Asset under the Underlying Repurchase
Agreement as an Underlying Repurchase Asset, provided that PMC or POP provides
notice thereof to Buyer and such Underlying Repurchase Asset is and continues to
be an Eligible Mortgage Loan, from and after the related Purchase Date, (A) PMC
shall be deemed to have repurchased such Purchased Asset hereunder, (B) PMC
shall be deemed to have sold such Underlying Repurchase Asset to POP under the
Underlying Repurchase Agreement, (C) Buyer shall be deemed to have purchased
such Underlying Repurchase Asset as a Purchased Asset from POP hereunder and (D)
the Transaction governing such Purchased Asset shall thereafter be between POP
and Buyer.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Eligible Mortgage Loan sold by PMC
to Buyer in a Transaction that is subsequently sold to POP, and thereafter
becomes subject to an Underlying Repurchase Transaction

‑25‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

under the Underlying Repurchase Agreement as an Underlying Repurchase Asset
shall, on the related Purchase Date, be replaced by such Underlying Repurchase
Asset as the Purchased Asset, which Underlying Repurchase Asset shall
automatically become subject to the Transaction to which the Eligible Mortgage
Loan was subject.    

(ii)On each Purchase Date with respect to any Underlying Repurchase Asset, POP
will be deemed to make the representations and warranties hereto with respect to
such Underlying Repurchase Asset as set forth in Schedule 1-D attached hereto.

(iii)Each Seller hereby agrees and acknowledges that such Underlying Repurchase
Transaction is subject to and subordinate to Buyer’s rights hereunder and
Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Assets and Buyer’s rights under the
related Transaction.

(e)Repurchase.

(i)Sellers may not repurchase any Purchased Asset prior to the related
Repurchase Date; provided, however, a Purchased Asset may be released by Buyer,
in its good faith discretion, to the extent Sellers deliver to Buyer Additional
Purchased Assets with an Asset Value at least equal to the Asset Value of the
released Purchased Asset.  Upon the substitution thereof, the Additional
Purchased Assets will be deemed Purchased Assets and are subject to the terms
and provisions hereof and in the related Transaction Confirmation.  

(ii)Subject to Buyer’s approval, in the event Sellers repurchase a Purchased
Asset on any day which is not the Repurchase Date for such Purchased Asset (an
“Early Repurchase”), Sellers shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from
fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (the
“Breakage Costs”). In addition to the foregoing, to the extent such Early
Repurchase occurs on or before the Repurchase Date (the “Breakage Date”),
Sellers shall pay the Breakage Costs equal to the product of (i) the number of
days between the Breakage Date and the applicable Repurchase Date (“Breakage
Days”), (ii) the sum of (x) LIBOR (calculated on the applicable Purchase Date)
and (y) the Pricing Spread, and (iii) the outstanding Purchase Price on the
Breakage Date.

(iii)On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transaction will be effected by
reassignment to Sellers or their designee of the Purchased Assets (and any
Income in respect thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or
transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Sellers pursuant to Section 5)
against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of
Buyer.  Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or
intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset (but
liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer will be applied to reduce
the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset on each Repurchase Date except as
otherwise provided herein).  

‑26‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sellers are obligated to obtain the Mortgage Files from Buyer at Sellers’
expense on the Repurchase Date.

(f)Repurchase Date Extension.  With respect to each Transaction, in the related
Transaction Request, Sellers shall indicate the requested Repurchase Date for
such Transaction, which shall be confirmed in the Transaction Confirmation
delivered by Buyer to Sellers, which shall be either (i) a fixed date not less
than three (3) months and not more than six (6) months following the related
Purchase Date, or (ii) an initial date of six (6) months following the related
Purchase Date (in the case of clause (ii), the “Initial Repurchase Date”) and,
on the date that is thirty (30) days following such Purchase Date and every
thirtieth (30th) day thereafter (each such thirtieth (30th) day, a “Transaction
Extension Request Date”), Sellers may request, and Buyer may agree, to extend
the Repurchase Date of such Transaction until the date that is thirty (30) days
following such Transaction Extension Request Date (each such extended Repurchase
Date, an “Extended Repurchase Date”) pursuant to the terms of a trade
confirmation mutually agreed to and executed by Buyer and Sellers; provided that
in the event Sellers request an extension of the Repurchase Date of such
Transaction and Buyer fails to respond, such failure to respond shall be deemed
a rejection of such request.

SECTION 4.

Margin Amount Maintenance

(a)Buyer determines the Asset Value of the Purchased Assets at such intervals as
determined by Buyer in its good faith discretion.

(b)If at any time the aggregate Asset Value of all related Purchased Assets
subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Purchase Price for all
such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Sellers (as
such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require
Sellers to transfer to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Assets approved by
Buyer in its good faith discretion so that the aggregate Asset Value of the
Purchased Assets, including any such cash or Additional Purchased Assets, will
thereupon equal or exceed the aggregate Purchase Price for all Transactions. If
Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Sellers on or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on any Business Day, then Sellers shall transfer cash or Additional
Purchased Assets to Buyer no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) that
day.  In the event Buyer delivers a Margin Call to Sellers after 10:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on any Business Day, Sellers will be required to transfer cash
or Additional Purchased Assets no later than 5 p.m. (New York City time) on the
subsequent Business Day.

(c)Buyer’s election, in its good faith discretion, not to make a Margin Call at
any time there is a Margin Deficit will not in any way limit or impair its right
to make a Margin Call at any time a Margin Deficit exists.

(d)Any cash or Additional Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer pursuant to
Section 4(b) above will be held as unsegregated cash margin and collateral for
all Obligations.

SECTION 5.

Income Payments

(a)Sellers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer the accreted value of the
Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential previously paid
by Sellers, or on

‑27‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

behalf of Sellers, to Buyer) plus the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit on
each Repurchase Date.  

(b)Sellers shall hold for the benefit of, and in trust for, Buyer all Income
which constitutes the property of Buyer (except for tax purposes which is
treated as income and property of Sellers) and will not be commingled with other
property of Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers.  

(c)Upon an Event of Default, Sellers will or will cause the Servicer to remit
all income to an account designated by Buyer.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon receipt by
Sellers of any prepayment of principal in full, with respect to a Purchased
Asset, Sellers shall remit such amount to Buyer and Buyer shall apply any such
amount received by Buyer on the Repurchase Date.

SECTION 6.

Requirements of Law

(a)If any Requirement of Law or any change in the interpretation or application
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:

(i)subjects Buyer to any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and
Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes)
with respect to this Repurchase Agreement or any Transaction on payments to
Buyer in respect thereof;

(ii)imposes, modifies or holds 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 which is not
otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate hereunder;

(iii)imposes 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, then, in any such case, Sellers shall promptly pay Buyer such
additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will
compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. Nothing
in this Section 6(a) shall be construed to limit the Buyer’s right to
reimbursement, gross-up or payment under any other section of this Repurchase
Agreement.

(b)If Buyer has determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether
or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent
to the date hereof has 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

‑28‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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 and liquidity) 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 compensate Buyer
for such reduction.

(c)If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall promptly notify Sellers of the event by reason of which it has
become so entitled.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant
to this Section submitted by Buyer to Sellers will be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error.

(d)To the extent that Buyer demands compensation for such amounts under
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, Sellers shall have the right, subject to the
applicable Breakage Costs, to designate a termination date for this Repurchase
Agreement by written notice given to Buyer at least thirty (30) days before such
termination date has occurred and Sellers shall only be obligated to pay Buyer
the amounts under paragraph (c) to the extent such amounts are necessary to
compensate Buyer through such termination date.

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Repurchase Agreement to the contrary, (i)
all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the
Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign
regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules,
guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection
therewith or in implementation thereof, is deemed to have been introduced and
adopted after the date of this Repurchase Agreement.

SECTION 7.

Taxes.

(a)Any payments made by a Seller or Guarantor to Buyer or a Buyer assignee
hereunder or under any Facility Document will be made free and clear of and
without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by
Requirement of Law.  If a Seller or Guarantor is required by Requirement of Law
(as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent)
to deduct or withhold any Tax from any sums payable to Buyer or a Buyer
assignee, then (i) such Seller or Guarantor shall make such deductions or
withholdings and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Requirement of Law; (ii) to the extent the withheld
or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable will be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and
withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 7) Buyer or Buyer assignee receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings
been made; and (iii) such Seller or Guarantor shall notify Buyer or Buyer
assignee of the amount paid and shall provide the original or a certified copy
of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment within ten (10) Business Days thereafter. Each Seller and Guarantor
shall otherwise indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after demand
therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on Buyer (including
Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 7) and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with

‑29‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(b)Buyer and any Buyer assignee shall deliver to Sellers and Guarantor, at the
time or times reasonably requested by Sellers or Guarantor, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Sellers or
Guarantor as will permit payments made hereunder to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer and any Buyer assignee,
if reasonably requested by Sellers or Guarantor, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by Requirement of Law or reasonably requested by
Sellers or Guarantor as will enable Sellers or Guarantor to determine whether or
not such Buyer or Buyer assignee is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
7, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than
such documentation in Section 7(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) below) will not be
required if in Buyer’s or Buyer’s assignee’s judgment such completion, execution
or submission would subject such Buyer or Buyer assignee to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Buyer or Buyer assignee. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Buyer or Buyer assignee shall deliver to Sellers
and Guarantor, to the extent legally entitled to do so:

(i)in the case of a Buyer or Buyer assignee which is a “U.S. Person” as defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, a properly completed and executed Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that it is
not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii)in the case of a Buyer or Buyer assignee which is not a “U.S. Person” as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, whichever of the following is
applicable: (I) in the case of such non-U.S. Person claiming the benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, a properly completed
and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), as
appropriate, evidencing entitlement to a zero percent or reduced rate of U.S.
federal income tax withholding on any payments made hereunder, (II) a properly
completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form), (III) in the
case of such non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from the withholding of U.S.
federal income tax under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to
payments of “portfolio interest,” a duly executed certificate (a “Tax Compliance
Certificate”) to the effect that such non-U.S. Person is not (x) a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder”
of any Seller, Guarantor or affiliate thereof, within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, along with properly completed and duly
executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms), as appropriate,
(IV) to the extent such non-U.S. person is not the beneficial owner, a properly
completed and executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9 (and any
successor forms), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial
owner, as applicable; provided that if such  non-U.S. person is a partnership
and one or more direct or indirect partners of such non-U.S. person are claiming
the

‑30‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

portfolio interest exemption, such non-U.S. person may provide a Tax Compliance
Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, and (V) executed
originals of any other form or supplementary documentation prescribed by law as
a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal
withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by law to permit any Seller or Guarantor to determine the withholding
or deduction required to be made.

(iii)if a payment made to a Buyer or Buyer assignee under this Repurchase
Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if
such Buyer or assignee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b)
of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer or assignee shall deliver to Sellers or
Guarantor at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably requested by Sellers or Guarantor such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by any Seller or
Guarantor as may be necessary for any Seller or Guarantor to comply with their
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from
such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7, “FATCA” includes any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of Repurchase Agreement.

The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by each applicable
Buyer or Buyer assignee on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a
Buyer or Buyer assignee under this Repurchase Agreement, as the case may
be.  Buyer and each Buyer assignee agree that if any form or certification it
previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect,
it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller in
writing of its legal inability to do so.

(c)Any indemnification payable by Sellers or Guarantor to Buyer or any Buyer
assignee for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are imposed on Buyer or a
Buyer assignee, as described in Section 7(a) hereof, shall be paid by Sellers or
Guarantor within ten (10) days after demand therefor.  A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to Sellers or Guarantor by Buyer
or a Buyer assignee is conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Each party’s obligations under this Section 7 will survive any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer or a Buyer assignee, and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Facility Document.

(e)Each party to this Repurchase Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent
for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise Taxes to
treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Sellers that is secured by the
Purchased Assets that, in the absence of an Event of Default by any Seller and
Buyer’s exercise of remedies hereunder, the Purchased Assets are owned by
Sellers. All parties to this Repurchase Agreement agree to such treatment and
agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment unless required by law.

SECTION 8.

Security Interest; Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney-In‑Fact

(a)Security Interest.  

(i)On each Purchase Date, each Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all of
its rights and interests in the Purchased Assets identified on the related Asset
Schedule and the Repurchase Assets.  Although the parties intend that all
Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases (other than for accounting and tax
purposes) and not loans, 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 their Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and
pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the
Purchased Assets, any Agency Security or right to receive such Agency Security
when issued but only to the extent backed by any of the Purchased Assets, the
Records, and all Servicing Rights, Income, Ancillary Income and Advance
Reimbursements related to the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Files related to the
Purchased Assets, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents
and Sellers’ rights thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property
relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, any Takeout
Commitments relating to any Purchased Asset, all insurance policies and
insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged
Property, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any
related primary insurance or hazard insurance, FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts
and VA Loan Guaranty Agreements (if any), any Income relating to any Purchased
Asset, any Interest Rate Protection Agreements to the extent relating to any
Purchased Asset, and any other contract rights, accounts (including any interest
of any Seller in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to payment
(including payments of interest or finance charges) and general intangibles to
the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Asset and any other
assets relating to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any
other accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Assets, all collateral under
any other secured debt facility (including, without limitation, any facility
documented as a repurchase agreement or similar purchase and sale agreement)
between any Seller or its Affiliates on the one hand and Buyer or Buyer’s
Affiliates on the other, and all substitutions or replacements of any and all of
the foregoing and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds)
and distributions and any other property, rights, title or interests as are
specified on a Trust Receipt and Custodian Asset Transmission with respect to
any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Primary Repurchase
Assets”).

(ii)In order to further secure the Obligations, each of POP and PMC hereby
grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security
interest in all of POP’s and PMC’s right, title and interest in, to and under
the Underlying Repurchase Assets subject to an Underlying Repurchase
Transaction, the Records and all Servicing Rights related to the Underlying
Repurchase Assets, Ancillary Income and Advance Reimbursements related to the
Underlying

‑32‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Repurchase Assets, the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents
and each of POP’s and PMC’s right thereunder relate to the Underlying Repurchase
Assets), any Property relating to any Underlying Repurchase Asset or the related
Mortgaged Property, any Takeout Commitments relating to any Underlying
Repurchase Asset, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any
Underlying Repurchase Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, including but not
limited to any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance or
hazard insurance, FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts and VA Loan Guaranty
Agreements (if any), any Income relating to any Underlying Repurchase Asset, any
Interest Rate Protection Agreements to the extent relating to any Underlying
Repurchase Asset, and any other contract rights, accounts (including any
interest of POP or PMC in escrow accounts) and any other payments, rights to
payment (including payments of interest or finance charges) and general
intangibles to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Underlying
Repurchase Asset and any other assets relating to the Underlying Repurchase
Assets (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in
the Underlying Repurchase Assets, all collateral under any other secured debt
facility (including, without limitation, any facility documented as a repurchase
agreement or similar purchase and sale agreement) between any Seller or its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates, on the other, and
all substitutions or replacements of any and all of the foregoing and any
proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions and
any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Trust
Receipt and Custodian Asset Transmission with respect to any of the foregoing,
in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or
hereafter created (collectively, the “Underlying Transaction Repurchase Assets”,
together with the Primary Repurchase Assets, the “Repurchase Assets”).  This
paragraph is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or
other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and transactions hereunder as
defined under Section 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

POP acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Repurchase
Assets (including without limitation its security interest in the Purchased
Assets and any other collateral purchased by POP in an Underlying Repurchase
Transaction and in which a security interest is granted to Buyer pursuant to
this Section 8) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate
to the rights of Buyer under this Agreement.  POP agrees that it will provide
notice of any action it takes with respect to the Underlying Repurchase Assets
at any time that such Underlying Repurchase Assets are owned by or pledged to
Buyer under this Agreement.

In the event that any Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights,
and for the avoidance of doubt, each Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer
a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in
all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or
hereafter created.  The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security
agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the
Repurchase Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections
101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

‑33‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Each Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or
statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem
appropriate.  Sellers shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or
statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

(b)Buyer’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact.  Each Seller hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent thereof, with full power
of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney‑in‑fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of such Seller and in the name of
such Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Buyer’s discretion, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Repurchase Agreement, to take any and
all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of

Each Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is a power coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable.  In addition to the foregoing, each Seller agrees
to execute a Power of Attorney to be delivered on the date hereof.

Each Seller also authorizes Buyer, if an Event of Default has occurred, from
time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 14
hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to the Repurchase Assets.

The powers conferred on Buyer hereunder are solely to protect Buyer’s interests
in the Repurchase Assets and do not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers.  Buyer will be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as
a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents are responsible to Sellers for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

SECTION 9.

Payment, Transfer and Custody

(a)Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be
made by Sellers hereunder will be made in Dollars, in immediately available
funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the account
detailed in Schedule 4 no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time, on the date
on which such payment is due (and each such payment made after such time will be
deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  Each Seller
acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.

(b)On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets
is transferred to Buyer against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price
to the account of Sellers detailed in Schedule 4 no later than 5:00 p.m. New
York City time, simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer of the Purchased
Assets relating to each Transaction.  

(c)In connection with such sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment, on or
prior to each Purchase Date, the applicable Seller shall deliver or cause to be
delivered and released to Buyer the Mortgage File for the related Purchased
Assets.  To the extent the aggregate Price Differential paid by Sellers to Buyer
(the “Actual Price Differential”) is less than the Minimum Price Differential,
Sellers shall pay to Buyer each calendar month on a date to be agreed between
the parties, in immediately available funds, the excess of the Actual Price
Differential over the Minimum Price Differential, in each case, for such
calendar month.

SECTION 11.

Representations

Each Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the Purchase Date for
any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Sellers and as of the date of this Repurchase
Agreement and any

‑35‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Transaction hereunder and as of each date while the Facility Documents and any
Transaction hereunder are in full force and effect:

(a)Acting as Principal.  Sellers will engage in such Transactions as principal
(or, if agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by Buyer, as agent for a
disclosed principal).

(b)No Broker.  No Seller has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or
other person, except for Buyer, who may be entitled to any commission or
compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this
Repurchase Agreement.

(c)Financial Statements.  Guarantor and PMC have heretofore furnished to Buyer a
copy of their (a) consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings
and of cash flows for each of PMC and Guarantor and their respective
consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth for the
consolidated Financial Statements only, in each case in comparative form, the
figures for the previous year, with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche
LLP, (b) consolidated balance sheets and statements of income of their
consolidated Subsidiaries for the quarterly fiscal period(s) of each of
Guarantor and PMC ended December 30, 2017 and the related consolidated
statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for each of PMC and
Guarantor and their respective consolidated Subsidiaries for such quarterly
fiscal period(s).  All such financial statements are complete and correct and
fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition
of each Seller and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their
operations as at such dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with
GAAP applied on a consistent basis.  Since December 31, 2017, there has been no
change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of PMC,
Guarantor and their respective consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from
that set forth in said financial statements which would constitute a Material
Adverse Effect, nor is PMC or Guarantor aware of any state of facts which
(without notice or the lapse of time) would or could have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Neither PMC nor Guarantor has, on the date of the statements delivered
pursuant to this section (the “Statement Date”), any liabilities, direct or
indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or
liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term
commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and
related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or
anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of either PMC
or Guarantor except as heretofore disclosed to Buyer in writing.

and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. POP is a limited partnership
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
Delaware.  Guarantor is a real estate investment trust duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of Maryland. (ii) Each Seller and
Guarantor (a) has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own
its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be
conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(b) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other
jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such
qualification necessary, except where failure so to qualify would not be
reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have

a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) has full power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under the Facility Documents.

violate any provision of applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority, or its
organizational documents, (d) do not violate any indenture, agreement, document

party, or by which any of them or any of their properties, any of the Repurchase

with, do not result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default under, or except as may be provided by any Facility
Document, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the
property or assets of such Seller, Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant
to, any such indenture, agreement, document or instrument.  No Seller or
Guarantor is required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization from, or
to file any declaration or statement with, any Governmental Authority in
connection with or as a condition to the consummation of the Transactions
contemplated herein and the execution, delivery or performance of the Facility
Documents to which it is a party.

(f)Litigation.  There are no material actions, suits, arbitrations,
investigations (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing which are
pending or threatened) or other legal or arbitrable proceedings affecting any
Seller, Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of the Repurchase
Assets or any of the other properties of any Seller or Guarantor before any
Governmental Authority which (i) questions or challenges the validity or
enforceability of the Facility Documents or any action to be taken in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) makes a claim or claims in an
aggregate amount greater than five percent (5%) of any Seller’s Adjusted
Tangible Net Worth, (iii) individually or in the aggregate, if adversely

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

the related Asset Schedule, will be true, complete and accurate in every
material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on reasonable estimates,

statutory liens for Taxes not yet due and payable.

(w)No Reliance.  Each Seller and Guarantor has made its own independent
decisions to enter into the Facility Documents and each Transaction and as to
whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own

the Code, and the Purchased Assets are not “plan assets” within the meaning of
29 CFR §2510.3 101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, and transactions by
or with any Seller or Guarantor are not subject to any state or local statute
regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental
plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA or church plans within the
meaning of Section 3(33) of ERISA.

(y)No Prohibited Persons. No Seller nor Guarantor nor any of their Affiliates,

event having occurred or PMC having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect

would either make PMC unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for
maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to the

facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the sound
servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time
constitute Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(bb)Assessment and Understanding.  Each Seller and Guarantor is capable of

misconduct of Buyer.  Each Seller agrees that any exercise by Buyer of Buyer’s
rights and remedies pursuant to the terms of this Repurchase Agreement shall
not, in themselves, constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer.

(b)Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and/or at any time thereafter without notice
to Sellers and Guarantor.  All rights and remedies arising under this Repurchase
Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(c)Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial
process or hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses such
Seller or Guarantor might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights
by judicial process.  Each Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense
of payment or performance) such Seller or Guarantor 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.

(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Seller is liable to Buyer for
interest on any amounts owing by such Seller 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

‑55‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder.  Interest on any sum payable
by any Seller to Buyer under this paragraph 14(d) is at a rate equal to the
Post‑Default Rate.

(e)Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and
equitable rights available to Buyer for any Seller’s or Guarantor’s failure to
perform its obligations under this Repurchase Agreement, each Seller
acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform
Obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer is entitled to specific
performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any
such failure. The availability of these remedies does not prohibit Buyer from
pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary
damages.

SECTION 15.

Indemnification and Expenses; Recourse

(a)Each Seller shall hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers,
directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless
from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses,
damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable fees of
counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such
Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this
Repurchase Agreement, any other Facility 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 Repurchase Agreement, any
other Facility 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.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Seller shall hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and
indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Mortgage
Loans relating to or arising out of any Taxes incurred or assessed in connection
with the ownership of the Mortgage Loans, that, in each case, results 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 any Mortgage Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce
any provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Sellers shall save, indemnify 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 any 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
shall reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified
Party for all of the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this
Repurchase Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees
and disbursements of its counsel.

(b)Sellers shall pay as and when billed by Buyer all of the reasonable,
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the
development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or
modification to, this Repurchase Agreement, any other Facility Document or any
other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith.  Sellers shall pay
as and when billed by Buyer all of the 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 filing
fees and all the reasonable fees,

‑56‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

disbursements and expenses of counsel to Buyer which amount shall be deducted
from the Purchase Price paid for the first Transaction hereunder, subject to a
cap of $100,000.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 17 hereof,
Sellers shall 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 Sellers for purchase under this Repurchase
Agreement, including, but not limited to, those out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 17 hereof, subject to an annual
cap of $25,000 unless an Event of Default has occurred.

(c)The obligations of Sellers from time to time to pay the Repurchase Price and
all other amounts due under this Repurchase Agreement are full recourse
obligations of Sellers.

SECTION 16.

Servicing

(a)Sellers, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with Servicer to, or if a Seller
is the Servicer, it shall, service the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree
of skill and care that such Seller customarily requires with respect to similar
Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices.  The Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and
local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses
necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and
(iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Mortgage Loans or any payment
thereunder.  Buyer may terminate the servicing of any Mortgage Loan with the
then existing Servicer in accordance with Section 16(e) hereof.

(b)Sellers shall cause the Servicer to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds
collected by Sellers with respect to any Purchased Assets in trust accounts and
shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.

(c)Sellers shall cause the Servicer to deposit all collections received by
Sellers on account of the Purchased Assets in the account set forth in Section 9
no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt.

(d)Sellers shall provide promptly to Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and
agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Assets, advising such
Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without
limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased
Assets and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of
Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the
Purchased Assets and any related Income with respect thereto.

(e)Upon written notice, Buyer has the right with cause, or with respect to an
Event of Default, as determined in its good faith discretion to immediately
terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets without payment
of any penalty or termination fee.  Sellers shall cooperate in transferring the
servicing of the Purchased Assets to a successor servicer appointed by Buyer in
its good faith discretion.  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.

‑57‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(f)If a Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, any entity
responsible to such Seller by contract for managing or servicing any such
Purchased Asset has failed to perform fully such Seller’s obligations under the
Facility Documents or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to
the Purchased Assets, such Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

(g)For the avoidance of doubt, no Seller retains economic rights to the
servicing of the Purchased Assets; provided that Sellers shall continue to
service the Purchased Assets hereunder as part of their Obligations
hereunder.  As such, each Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Asset
are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis.

(h)The Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are
not severable from or to be separated from the Purchased Assets under this
Agreement, and such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this
Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning
of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement
or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Repurchase
Documents.

SECTION 17.

Due Diligence

(a)Each Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due
diligence reviews with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Sellers and Guarantor, for
purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and
specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and each Seller agrees that upon
reasonable prior notice unless an Event of Default has occurred, in which case
no notice is required, to Sellers, 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 Sellers and/or Custodian.  Sellers also shall
make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the
purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage
Loans.  Each Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to conduct an on-site
financial review on an annual basis. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Mortgage Loans from
Sellers based solely upon the information provided by Sellers to Buyer in the
Asset 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 access to any and all documents,
records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans
in the possession, or under the control, of such Seller.  Each Seller further
agrees that such Seller shall pay all reasonable, out‑of‑pocket costs and
expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to
this Section 17, subject to an annual cap of $25,000 unless an Event of Default
has occurred (“Due Diligence Costs”).

SECTION 18.

Assignability

The rights and obligations of the parties under this Repurchase Agreement and
under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Sellers or Guarantor without the
prior written consent of Buyer.  Subject to the foregoing, this Repurchase
Agreement and any Transactions will be binding upon and will inure to the
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.  Nothing in
this Repurchase Agreement express or implied, gives to any Person, other than
the parties to this Repurchase Agreement and their successors hereunder, any
benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this
Repurchase Agreement. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Repurchase Agreement and the other Facility
Documents; 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
is a party hereto and to each of the other Facility Documents to the extent of
the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and will
succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder (including
the rights and obligations under Section 7 (including the provision of tax
forms), and (b) Buyer will, to the extent that such rights and obligations have
been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the
other Facility Documents.  Sellers shall continue to take directions solely from
Buyer.  Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other
information delivered to Buyer by Sellers, as long as such prospective assignee
is bound by a nondisclosure agreement.

Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Repurchase Agreement and the other
Facility Documents; provided, however, that (i) Buyer may sell no more than
three (3) such participations without Sellers’ written consent; (ii) Buyer’s
obligations under this Repurchase Agreement will remain unchanged, (iii) Buyer
will remain solely responsible to Sellers and Guarantor for the performance of
such obligations; and (iv) Sellers and Guarantor shall continue to deal solely
and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under
this Repurchase Agreement and the other Facility Documents except as provided in
Section 7.

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,
any information relating to any Seller, Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or
to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on
behalf of any Seller, Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such
assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the
confidentiality provisions of this Repurchase Agreement.

In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Repurchase Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith
an amendment to this Repurchase Agreement to add agency provisions similar to
those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase
facilities.

SECTION 19.

Transfer and Maintenance of Register.

(a)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 19, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance the assignee thereunder is 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 Repurchase Agreement.  Any assignment or
transfer by Buyer of rights or obligations under this Repurchase Agreement that
does not comply with this Section 19 will be treated for purposes of this
Repurchase Agreement as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights
and obligations in accordance with Section 18 hereof.

(b)Buyer, on Sellers’ behalf, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on
which it will record the Transactions outstanding hereunder and each Assignment
and Acceptance. The Register will include the name and address of Buyer
(including all assignees and successors) and the percentage or portion of such
rights and obligations assigned.  The entries in the Register will be conclusive
absent manifest error, and Sellers shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a buyer for all purposes of this Repurchase
Agreement.

(c)Buyer shall maintain a participation register (the “Participation Register”)
on which it shall record each participation.  The Participation Register will
include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all participants) and the
percentage or portion of such rights and obligations participated. The entries
in the Participation Register will be conclusive absent manifest error, and
Sellers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participation
Register as a buyer for all purposes of this Repurchase Agreement. If Buyer
sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall provide Sellers, or
maintain as agent of Sellers, the information described in this paragraph and
permit Sellers to review such information as reasonably needed for Sellers to
comply with their obligations under this Repurchase Agreement or under any
applicable Requirement of Law.

SECTION 20.

Hypothecation or Pledge of Purchased Assets

Nothing in this Repurchase Agreement shall preclude Buyer from pledging its
interest in the Purchased Assets and the related Repurchase Assets as permitted
by the Facility Documents; provided, however, that no such pledge will relieve
Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder, including but not limited to, its
obligation to return to Sellers the exact Purchased Assets and the related
Repurchase Assets and not substitutes therefor.  Unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred, no such pledge shall relieve Buyer of its obligations under
the Facility Documents, including, without limitation, Buyer’s obligation to
transfer Purchased Assets to the Sellers pursuant to the terms of the Facility
Documents.  Nothing contained in this Repurchase Agreement obligates Buyer to
segregate any Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets delivered to Buyer by
Sellers.

SECTION 21.

Tax Treatment

Each party to this Repurchase Agreement acknowledges that it is such party’s
intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes,
to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Sellers that is secured by the
Purchased Assets and that, in the absence of an

‑60‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Event of Default and Buyer’s exercise of remedies hereunder, the Purchased
Assets are owned by Sellers.  All parties to this Repurchase Agreement agree to
such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment,
unless required by law.

SECTION 22.

Set‑Off

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer has
the right to set‑off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from any
Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any of its Affiliates 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, 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 or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the
account of Sellers, Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof.  Buyer agrees promptly
to notify Sellers and Guarantor after any such set off and application made by
Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the
validity of such set off and application.

At all times, Buyer has 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 any Seller or Guarantor hereunder if an Event of
Default or Default has occurred with respect to such Seller or Guarantor.

SECTION 23.

Terminability

Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a
Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto, will survive the making of such
representation and warranty, and Buyer will not be deemed to have waived any
Default or Event of Default that may arise because any such representation or
warranty has 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 the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, all
of the representations and warranties and covenants hereunder will continue and
survive.  The obligations of each Seller under Sections 6, 7, 15 and 30 hereof
will survive the termination of this Repurchase Agreement and the repayment of
all Obligations.  

SECTION 24.

Notices and Other Communications

Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Repurchase Agreement, all
notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including
without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under,
this Repurchase Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including without
limitation by telecopy) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for
Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof or thereof); or,
as to any party, at such other address as designated by such party in a written
notice to each other party.  Except as otherwise provided in this Repurchase
Agreement and except for notices given under Section 3 (which is effective only
on receipt), all such communications are deemed to have been duly given when
transmitted by telecopy or personally delivered or, in the

‑61‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as
aforesaid.  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
subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective
Person.

SECTION 25.

Entire Agreement; Severability; Single Agreement

This Repurchase Agreement, together with the other Facility Documents,
constitutes the entire understanding among Buyer, Sellers and Guarantor with
respect to the subject matter they cover and supersedes any existing agreements
between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase
transactions involving Purchased Assets.  By acceptance of this Repurchase
Agreement, Buyer, Sellers and Guarantor acknowledge that they have not made, and
are not relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings
not contained in this Repurchase Agreement or any other Facility Document.  Each
provision and agreement herein will be treated as separate and independent from
any other provision or agreement herein and will be enforceable notwithstanding
the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

Buyer, Sellers and Guarantor acknowledge that, and have entered into this
Repurchase Agreement and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in
consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder
constitute a single business and contractual relationship and that each has been
entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.  Accordingly, Buyer and
each Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each
Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such
obligations constitutes a default by it in respect of all Transactions
hereunder, (ii) that each of them is entitled to set off claims and apply
property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to
them in respect of any other Transaction hereunder; (iii) that payments,
deliveries, and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any
Transaction is deemed to have been made in consideration of payments,
deliveries, and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder,
and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries, and other transfers
may be applied against each other and netted and (iv) to promptly provide notice
to the other after any such set off or application.

SECTION 28.

No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no
course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any
Facility Document operates as a waiver thereof, nor does any single or partial

any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege.  The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of
any remedies provided by law.  An Event of Default will be deemed to be
continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing.

SECTION 29.

To the extent that any Seller or Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding,
from jurisdiction of

‑63‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any court or from set off or any legal process (whether service or notice,

Repurchase Agreement, the other Facility Documents or any Transaction hereunder.

SECTION 30.

Confidentiality

(a)Buyer and each Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or
computer‑readable information provided by one party to the other regarding the
terms set forth in any of the Facility Documents or the Transactions
contemplated thereby (the “Confidential Terms”) will be kept confidential and
will not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of such
other party except to the extent that (i) it is necessary to do so in working
with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies
or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any applicable Requirements of
Law, (ii) any of the Confidential Terms are in the public domain other than due
to a breach of the provisions of this Section 30, or (iii) in the event of an
Event of Default Buyer determines such information to be necessary or desirable
to disclose in connection with the marketing and sales of the Purchased Assets
or otherwise to enforce or exercise Buyer’s rights hereunder.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Facility Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons,
without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of
the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and
local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and
local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax
treatment; provided that neither Sellers nor Guarantor may disclose the name of
or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms
(including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Purchase Price Percentage and
Purchase Price) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including
any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state
and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding
the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the
prior written consent of Buyer.  

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Repurchase Agreement to the contrary, each
Seller and Guarantor shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal
laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules
and regulations that are applicable to the Purchased Assets and/or any
applicable terms of this Repurchase Agreement (the “Confidential
Information”).  Each Seller and Guarantor understands that the Confidential
Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is
defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and
each Seller and Guarantor agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information
that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable
federal and state privacy laws. Each Seller and Guarantor shall implement such
physical and other security measures necessary to (a) ensure the security and
confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and
“consumers” (as those terms are defined in the GLB Act) of Buyer or any
Affiliate of Buyer which Buyer holds (b) protect against any threats or hazards
to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c)
protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal
information. Each Seller and Guarantor shall, at a minimum establish and
maintain such data security program as is

‑64‑

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

necessary to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing
Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 12 C.F.R. Parts 30, 208, 211, 225, 263, 308, 364, 568 and
570.  Upon request, each Seller and Guarantor shall provide evidence reasonably
satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that such Seller and Guarantor has
satisfied its obligations as required under this Section.  Without limitation,
this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other
equivalent evaluations of each Seller and Guarantor.  Each Seller and Guarantor
shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise
of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information
of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided
directly to such Seller or Guarantor by Buyer or such Affiliate. Each Seller and
Guarantor shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile
with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of
receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

SECTION 31.

Intent

(a)The parties recognize that this Agreement, together with each Transaction
hereunder, is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in
Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “securities contract” as that term is
defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting
agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy
Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement
payments” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and that the pledge of the
Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or
other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Repurchase Agreement and
Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v)
and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Sellers and Buyer further recognize
and intend that this Repurchase Agreement is an agreement to provide financial
accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code
Section 365(a).

(b)Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection
with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Repurchase
Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 hereof
is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as
described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or
transfers of property made with respect to this Repurchase Agreement or any
Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit is considered a “margin payment” as such
term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

(c)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,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules,
orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets

SCHEDULE 1-A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE:  ELIGIBLE MORTGAGE LOANS

Each Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan, that as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Assets by
Buyer from such Seller and as of the date of this Repurchase Agreement and any
Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Facility Documents and any
Transaction hereunder are in full force and effect, that the statements set out
below 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 will be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Mortgage Loan if
and when a Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that 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 the best of either Seller’s knowledge, if it is
discovered by either Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation
and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding either Seller’s lack of knowledge
with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such
inaccuracy will be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and
warranty.

(a)Mortgage Loans as Described.  The information set forth in the related Asset
Schedule is complete, true and correct.

(b)Payments Current.  All payments required to be made up to the close of
business on the closing date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the
Mortgage Note have been made and credited.  No payment required under the
Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been
delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan.  The first
Monthly Payment shall be made, or has been made, with respect to the Mortgage
Loan on its Due Date or within the grace period, all in accordance with the
terms of the related Mortgage Note.

(c)No Outstanding Charges.  There are no defaults in complying with the terms of
the Mortgage, and all delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer
rents, governmental assessments, municipal charges, insurance premiums,
leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or
other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property.  No Seller
has advanced funds, 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 later, to the day which precedes by one
month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest.

(d)Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by
written instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if
necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been
delivered to the related Custodian; the substance of any such waiver, alteration
or modification has been approved by the insurer under the primary mortgage
guaranty insurance policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required
by the related policy, and is reflected on the related final Asset Schedule.  No
instrument of waiver,

 

Schedule 1-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been
released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement
approved by the insurer under the primary mortgage guaranty insurance policy, if
any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which
assumption agreement has been delivered to Custodian and the terms of which are
reflected in the related final Asset Schedule.

(e)No Defenses.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are 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 the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage 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, or
subsequent to, the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.

(f)Hazard Insurance.  The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended
perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards
as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the
extent required by Sellers as of the date of origination consistent with the
Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by
Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in
an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all
improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance
of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of
any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and
consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of
origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines.  If any portion of
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental
Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a
flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in
an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the
Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1974.  All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard
insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming a Seller, its
successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the
Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled
without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee.  No such notice
has been received by any Seller.  All premiums on such insurance policy have
been paid.  The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such
insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to
maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from such 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 the valid and binding obligation of
the insurer and 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

Schedule 1-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

which would impair the coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the
endorsement provided for herein, or the validity and binding effect of either
including, without limitation, 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, and no such unlawful
items have been received, retained or realized by any Seller.

(g)Compliance with Applicable Law.  Any and all requirements of any federal,
state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real
estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity and disclosure laws and unfair and deceptive practices laws
applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws
or regulations, and each Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to
maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Buyer, and shall
deliver to Buyer, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such
requirements.

(h)No Satisfaction of Mortgage.  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would affect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.  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.

(i)Valid First Lien.  The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and
perfected with respect to each first lien Mortgage Loan, first priority lien and
first priority security interest, on the real property included in the Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing.  The lien of
the Mortgage is subject only to:

(i)the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable;

(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 Buyer’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.

Schedule 1-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on
the property described therein and Sellers have full right to pledge and assign
the same to Buyer.  The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to
secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien
of the Mortgage.

(j)Validity of Mortgage Documents.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any
other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if
applicable, 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.  All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and
any other 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 the applicable related
parties.  The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan
underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the information and statements therein not misleading.  No fraud, error,
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 of the 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.  To the best of each Seller’s knowledge,
except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications and property
descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has
been completed.

(k)Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  The Mortgage Loan has been closed and the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the mortgagee to advance additional
funds 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.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.

(l)Ownership.  A Seller is the sole owner of record 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 Custodian or Buyer, in trust
only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of each Mortgage
Loan.  The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and a 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 pursuant
to this Repurchase Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, Buyer
will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, lien,

Schedule 1-4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

pledge, charge, claim or security interest except for the security interest
created pursuant to the terms of this Repurchase Agreement.

(m)Doing Business.  All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage
Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the
period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance
with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under
the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a
federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a
principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state.

(n)Title Insurance.  The Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title
Association buyer’s title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan
for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California, a California
Land Title Association buyer’s title insurance policy or other generally
acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where
the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring a Seller, its successors and
assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note
provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization
in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in
clauses (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph (i) 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 buyer’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.  A Seller, its successors and assigns,
are the sole insureds of such buyer’s title insurance policy, and such buyer’s
title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be
in force and effect upon the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by
this Repurchase Agreement.  No claims have been made under such buyer’s title
insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage,
including any Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the coverage of such buyer’s title insurance policy, including, without
limitation, 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, and no such unlawful items have been received,
retained or realized by any Seller.

(o)No Defaults.  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.

Schedule 1-5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(p)No Mechanics’ Liens.  There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims
which have been filed for work, labor or material (and 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 which rank equally with, the
lien of the related Mortgage.

(q)Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.  All improvements which were
considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property
lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged
Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged Property.  No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged
Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation.

(r)Origination.  The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a
mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan
association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company
or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or
state authority.  Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than
sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage
Loan.  The Mortgage Interest Rate as well as the lifetime rate cap and the
periodic cap are as set forth on the Asset Schedule.  The Mortgage Note is
payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, which
installments of interest, with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, are
subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each
Interest Rate Adjustment Date, with interest calculated and payable in arrears,
sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over
an original term of not more than 30 years from commencement of
amortization.  The Due Date of the first payment under the Mortgage Note is no
more than sixty (60) days from the date of the Mortgage Note. The origination
date is no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the related Purchase Date.

(s)Payment Provisions.  Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no
more than sixty (60) days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were
disbursed.  The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest
Rate.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the
day of each month specified in the Note in Monthly Payments, which, in the case
of a fixed rate Mortgage Loan, are sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an adjustable rate Mortgage
Loan, are changed on each adjustment date, and in any case, are sufficient to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and
to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate.  The Mortgage Note does
not permit negative amortization. There are no convertible 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.

(t)Customary Provisions.  The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity.  The Mortgage
contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the
Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including,
(i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale,
and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.  Upon default by a Mortgagor on a
Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property
pursuant to the

Schedule 1-6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good
and merchantable title to the Mortgaged Property.  There is no homestead or
other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person,
or restriction on either Seller or any other person, including without
limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation,
guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or
permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y)
the ability of either Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to
sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or otherwise, or (z) the
ability of either Seller, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to
foreclose on the related Mortgage.  The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms
acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. The Mortgaged Property has not been
subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor
has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.

(u)Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments.  The
origination and collection practices used by Sellers with respect to each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and
customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry.  The Mortgage Loan
has been serviced by Sellers and any predecessor servicer in accordance with the
terms of the Mortgage Note.  With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the
control of, Sellers and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for
which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made.  No
escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due Sellers have
been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such
escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by Sellers for any work on a
Mortgaged Property which has not been completed.  All Mortgage Interest Rate
adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and
