3.Program; Initiation of Transactions

a.Initiation.  On each Purchase Date, Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Buyers) will facilitate the purchase by Buyers from POP and PennyMac Holdings the Purchased Assets (accompanied by a pledge of the related Mortgage Loans that have been either originated by such Sellers or purchased by such Sellers from other originators).

From time to time, Seller may request and Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers may fund additional Purchase Price Increases in connection with the conveyance of REO Properties or Rental Properties to the REO Subsidiary and the corresponding increases of the Purchase Price on account of the REO Subsidiary Interests.  This Agreement is a commitment by Administrative Agent on behalf of Committed Buyers to enter into Transactions and Purchase Price Increases with Sellers for an aggregate amount equal to the Maximum Committed Purchase Price.

Each Seller hereby acknowledges that, beyond the applicable Maximum Committed Purchase Price, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers is under no obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction or Purchase Price Increase pursuant to this Agreement.  All Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets shall exceed or meet the Underwriting Guidelines or Acquisition Guidelines, as applicable, and all Purchased Mortgage Loans and REO Property shall be serviced by a Seller or Servicer, as applicable.  All Rental Properties shall be managed by a Property Manager and shall exceed or meet the Leasing Criteria and Tenant Underwriting Criteria.  The aggregate Purchase Price (adjusted for any Purchase Price Increases or reductions in Purchase Price, as applicable) of then-outstanding Transactions shall not exceed the Maximum Purchase Price.

g.Underlying Repurchase Transactions.  

(1)With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Transaction, in the event that such Mortgage Loan is sold by an Underlying Repurchase Counterparty to a Seller under the Underlying Repurchase Documents, such Mortgage Loan may be sold under the Underlying Repurchase Documents as an Underlying Repurchase Asset and such Seller shall provide notice thereof to Administrative Agent, and from and after the related Purchase Date, the selling Seller shall be deemed to have paid the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loan hereunder, the selling Seller shall be deemed to have sold such Underlying Repurchase Asset to the Underlying Repurchase Counterparty under the Underlying Repurchase Documents, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall be deemed to have paid the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan as a Purchased Mortgage Loan to the purchasing Seller hereunder and the Transaction governing such Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be between such purchasing Seller and Administrative Agent hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Mortgage Loan made subject to a Transaction by a Seller and Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers that is subsequently sold by such Seller to Underlying Repurchase Counterparty, and thereafter becomes subject to a Underlying Repurchase Transaction under the Underlying Repurchase Documents as a Underlying Repurchase Asset shall, on the related Purchase Date, be replaced by such Underlying Repurchase Asset as the Purchased Mortgage Loan, which Underlying Repurchase Asset shall automatically become subject to the Transaction to which the Mortgage Loan was subject. 

(2)On each Purchase Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Subsidiary Interest subject to an Underlying Repurchase Transaction, the related Seller will be deemed to make the representations and warranties hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Subsidiary Interest as set forth in Schedule 1, Part II attached hereto.

(3)Each Seller hereby agrees and acknowledges that any Underlying Repurchase Transaction is subject to and subordinate to Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ respective rights hereunder and Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of Buyers) security interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, the REO Subsidiary Interests and Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ respective rights under the related Transaction.

4.Repurchase

a.Sellers shall repurchase from Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers the related Purchased Assets on each related Repurchase Date.  Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Administrative Agent shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for the related Purchased Mortgage Loans or REO Subsidiary Interests on each Payment Date except as otherwise provided herein).  Sellers are obligated to repurchase and take physical possession of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets, as applicable, from Administrative Agent or its designee (including the Custodian) then in Administrative Agent’s or its designee’s possession at Sellers’ expense on the related Repurchase Date.

b.When the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Contributed Assets supporting a portion of the Purchase Price of the Transaction related to the REO Subsidiary Interests are desired by a Seller to be released, sold or otherwise liquidated, such Seller shall make payment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers in order to prepay the Allocated Repurchase Price (a “Optional Partial Prepayment”) in an amount equal to the Allocated Repurchase Price on each date such Purchased Mortgage Loan Contributed Asset is desired to be sold or otherwise liquidated (each, a “Optional Partial Prepayment Date”).  Such payment shall serve as a partial prepayment of the Repurchase Price in connection with the Transaction in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or REO Subsidiary Interests, as applicable, in order to avoid a Margin Deficit.  Such obligation to pay the Optional Partial Prepayment exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset.  Sellers are obligated to pay the Optional Partial Prepayment and take physical possession of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or Contributed Assets, as applicable, giving rise to the Optional Partial Prepayment, from in the case of Contributed Assets, the REO Subsidiary or its designee (including the Custodian) at Sellers’ expense on the related Optional Partial Prepayment Date.

c.Provided that no Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and Administrative Agent has received the related Repurchase Price (excluding accrued and unpaid Price Differential, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be paid on the next succeeding Payment Date) upon repurchase of the Purchased Assets or release of Contributed Assets from the REO Subsidiary, Administrative

Agent and Buyers will each be deemed to have released their respective interests hereunder in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, or lien on the Contributed Assets or REO Subsidiary Interests, or the Repurchase Assets related thereto, as applicable.  The applicable Purchased Mortgage Loans, Contributed Assets or the Repurchase Assets related thereto, as applicable, shall be retransferred by delivery to the applicable Seller or the designee of such Seller free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or claim of Administrative Agent or the Buyers.  Provided that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers has received the applicable Optional Partial Prepayment, Administrative Agent and the applicable Buyers agree to permit the release from the REO Subsidiary of the Contributed Asset attributable to such Optional Partial Prepayment (including, the Repurchase Assets related thereto) at the request of Sellers.  The applicable Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset and the Repurchase Assets related thereto, shall be delivered to the applicable Seller or the designee of such Seller free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or claim of Administrative Agent, the Buyers or REO Subsidiary.

d.With respect to a Liquidated Asset, Sellers agree to (i) provide Administrative Agent with a copy of a report from the related Servicer indicating that such Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset has been liquidated, (ii) cause the applicable Servicer to, (x) if such Liquidated Asset is a Purchased Mortgage Loan, remit to the Servicer Account, immediately upon the applicable Servicer’s receipt of the proceeds, the Repurchase Price, with respect to such Liquidated Asset and thereafter cause the applicable Servicer to remit such proceeds to the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days and (y) if such Liquidated Asset is a Contributed Asset remit the Optional Partial Prepayment in accordance with Section 4(b) and (iii) provide Administrative Agent a notice specifying each Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset that has been liquidated.  Administrative Agent and the Buyers agree to release their lien on such Liquidated Asset and permit the release of the Liquidated Asset from REO Subsidiary concurrently with receipt of confirmation that proceeds have been received by the applicable Servicer.  All amounts on deposit in the REO Subsidiary Accounts shall be remitted to the Collection Account on each Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subsidiary Agreement. 

e.Promptly upon a Purchased Mortgage Loan becoming an REO Property, (a) Sellers shall (i) notify Administrative Agent in writing that such Purchased Mortgage Loan has become a REO Property and the value attributed to such REO Property by Sellers, (ii) deliver to Administrative Agent and Custodian an Asset Schedule with respect to such REO Property, (iii) be deemed to make the representations and warranties listed on Schedule 1, Part IV hereto with respect to such REO Property; and (iv) without limiting the requirements set forth in the definition of Market Value, deliver to Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of a BPO of such REO Property no less frequently than once per 180 day period, and (b) solely with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan becoming a REO Property (i) such REO Property shall automatically and immediately be deemed contributed or sold by the Seller that owns it to the REO Subsidiary, and 


			
	
 
	
-40-
	
 




 



 

(ii) such REO Property shall be deemed a REO Property owned by the REO Subsidiary hereunder and its Market Value as determined by Administrative Agent shall be included in the Market Value of the REO Subsidiary Interests.  The acquisition of such REO Property by the REO Subsidiary shall result in an increase in the value of the REO Subsidiary Interests (as determined in accordance with the definition of Market Value) of the REO Subsidiary against a decrease in value of the Purchased Mortgage Loan and any Purchase Price Increase or Margin Deficit attributed to any change in Category shall be paid by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or Sellers as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement. 

f.Promptly upon a REO Property becoming a Rental Property, Sellers shall (i) notify Administrative Agent in writing that such REO Property has become a Rental Property and the value attributed to such Rental Property by Sellers, (ii) deliver to Administrative Agent and Custodian an Asset Schedule with respect to such Rental Property, (iii) be deemed to make the representations and warranties listed on Schedule 1, Part VI hereto with respect to such Rental Property; (iv) without limiting the requirements set forth in the definition of Asset Value, deliver to Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of a BPO of such Rental Property no less frequently than once per 180 day period.  The conversion of such Rental Property shall result in an applicable change in the value of the REO Subsidiary Interests (as determined in accordance with the definition of Asset Value) of such REO Subsidiary and any Margin Deficit attributed to any change in Category shall be paid by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or Sellers, as applicable.

5.Price Differential

a.On each Business Day that a Transaction is outstanding, the Pricing Rate shall be reset and, unless otherwise agreed, the accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on each related Payment Date.  Two (2) Business Days prior to the Payment Date, Administrative Agent shall give Sellers written or electronic notice of the amount of the Price Differential due on such Payment Date.  On the Payment Date, Sellers shall pay to Administrative Agent the Price Differential for the benefit of Buyers for such Payment Date (along with any other amounts to be paid pursuant to Sections 7 and 34 hereof), by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

b.If Sellers fail to pay all or part of the Price Differential by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the related Payment Date, with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset, Sellers shall be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers (in addition to, and together with, the amount of such Price Differential) interest on the unpaid Repurchase Price at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate until the Price Differential is received in full by Administrative Agent  for the benefit of Buyers.

6.Margin Maintenance

a.If at any time the outstanding Purchase Price of any Purchased Mortgage Loan or allocated to any Contributed Asset underlying a REO Subsidiary Interest subject to a Transaction is greater than the Asset Value of such Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset underlying a REO Subsidiary Interest subject to a Transaction (a “Margin Deficit”), then Administrative Agent may by notice to Sellers require Sellers to transfer to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers cash in an amount at least equal to the Margin Deficit subject to or related to a Transaction or solely with the consent of Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, additional Mortgage Loans or Contributed Assets with an Asset Value equal to such Margin Deficit (such requirement, a “Margin Call”).

b.Notice delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) may be given by any written or electronic means.  With respect to a Margin Call in the amount of less than 5% of  the Purchase Price for all Transactions (a “Low Percentage Margin Call”), any notice given before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day; notice given after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day following the date of such notice. With respect to all Margin Calls other than Low Percentage Margin Calls, any notice given before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business  Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day; notice given after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the following Business Day (the foregoing time requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as the “Margin Deadlines”).  The failure of Administrative Agent, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Administrative Agent to do so at a later date.  Each Seller and Administrative Agent each agree that a failure or delay by Administrative Agent to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for a Seller.

c.In the event that a Margin Deficit exists with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset, Administrative Agent may retain any funds received by it to which the Sellers would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) shall be held by Administrative Agent against the related Margin Deficit for a Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset and (ii) will be applied by Administrative Agent against the Allocated Repurchase Price related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset for which the related Margin Deficit remains otherwise unsatisfied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent retains the right, in its sole discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.

d.In the event that Sellers reasonably believe that the Asset Value of all Purchased Assets exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets by more than $3,000,000, Sellers may request that Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers remit additional Purchase Price with respect to specific Purchased Assets to be identified by Sellers to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent will consider such request; provided that Administrative Agent will make such determination in its sole discretion. Any additional Purchase Price remitted by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to Sellers hereunder (and in the case of Contributed Assets, Purchase Price Increase) shall be added to the Purchase Price for the applicable Purchased Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to advance additional Purchase Price hereunder, and Administrative Agent’s agreement on behalf of Buyers to do so in any instance, shall not be deemed as Administrative Agent’s agreement to do so in the future.

7.Income Payments

a.All Income received on account of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Contributed Assets or Subsidiary Certificates during the term of a Transaction shall be the property of Administrative Agent for the benefit Buyers.  Sellers shall and shall cause (i) the applicable Servicer to deposit all Income with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans other than New Origination Mortgage Loans into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt by any Seller, the Underlying Repurchase Counterparty or the applicable Servicer and the Underlying Repurchase Counterparty, (ii) the applicable Servicer to deposit all REO Subsidiary Income into the REO Subsidiary Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt by REO Subsidiary or a Servicer, as applicable, and (iii) the Property Manager to deposit all Income received with respect to the Subsidiary Certificates for the REO Subsidiary and Rental Properties during the immediately preceding calendar month into the REO Subsidiary Account within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Servicer shall be entitled to retain Ancillary Income to which it is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreement, without any obligation to deposit such Income into the Collection Account or a REO Subsidiary Account.

d.Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 7, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or on the Termination Date all Income shall be remitted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers for application to the aggregate Repurchase Price and any Obligations as Administrative Agent deems appropriate.

PMC shall deliver an irrevocable instruction (the “Irrevocable Instruction Letter”) to the buyer under the CUSIP Facility Documents that upon receipt of a notice of an Event of Default under this Agreement, the buyer thereunder is authorized and instructed to remit to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers hereunder directly any amounts otherwise payable to PMC and to deliver to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers all collateral otherwise deliverable to PMC. In furtherance of foregoing, the Irrevocable Instruction Letter shall also require, upon repayment of the entire obligations under the CUSIP Repurchase Agreement and the termination of all obligations 


			
	
 
	
-47-
	
 




 



 

of the buyer thereunder or other termination of the CUSIP Facility Documents following the repayment of all obligations thereunder that the buyer thereunder deliver to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers hereunder any collateral then in its possession or control. 

b.Release of Servicing Rights.  The Sellers and Guarantors each acknowledge that none of them, nor any Underlying Repurchase Counterparty has rights to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans or REO Properties but only has rights as a party to any Servicing Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that the Sellers or Guarantors are deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, each of Sellers and Guarantors grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent 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. 

c.Intent.  The foregoing provisions (a) and (b) are intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

d.Financing Statements.  Each Seller Party agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Administrative Agent’s security interest created hereby.  Furthermore, each Seller Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements relating to the Repurchase Assets, as the Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem appropriate.  The Sellers shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that no mortgage on real property will be filed with respect to such security interest. 

e.Subordination.  Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Repurchase Assets (including without limitation its security interest in the Purchased Assets and Contributed Assets and any other collateral purchased by such Seller in an Underlying Repurchase Transaction and in which a security interest is granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees pursuant to this Section 8) are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Seller agrees that it will provide notice of any action it takes with respect to the Repurchase Assets at any time any such Repurchase Assets are owned by or pledged to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees under this Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the grants given by REO Subsidiary are directly in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees and no Seller that is party to an Underlying Repurchase Transaction has any claim to the assets of REO Subsidiary granted hereunder.

f.Acquisition of REO Property.  If the Sellers shall acquire, or contemplate the acquisition of, any REO Property, or desire to extinguish any Mortgage Note in connection with the foreclosure of the related Mortgage Loan, a transfer of the real property underlying the Mortgage Note in lieu of foreclosure or other transfer of such real property, the Sellers shall cause such real property to be taken by deed, or by means of such instruments as is provided by the Governmental Authority governing the transfer, or right to request transfer and issuance of the deed, or such instrument as is provided by the related Governmental Authority, or to be acquired through foreclosure sale in the jurisdiction in which the REO Property is located, in the name of the REO Subsidiary; provided that each Seller or the applicable Servicer may achieve this by initially taking such REO Property in its own name or in the name of any prior owner or prior servicer for whom the applicable Servicer is contractually permitted to act, and then transferring (and hereby covenants to transfer) such REO Property to the REO Subsidiary by deed within the period of time generally necessary in the applicable jurisdiction for the applicable Servicer.

g.REO Subsidiary Interests as Securities.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the REO Subsidiary Interests shall constitute and remain “securities” as defined in Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code; PMC covenants and agrees that (i) the REO Subsidiary Interests are not and will not be dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or securities markets, and (ii) the REO Subsidiary Interests are not and will not be investment company securities within the meaning of Section 8-103 of the Uniform Commercial Code.  PMC shall, at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, take all steps as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the indorsement, transfer, delivery and pledge of all REO Subsidiary Interests to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees. 

h.Additional Interests.  If PMC shall, as a result of ownership of the REO Subsidiary Interests become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate evidencing any REO Subsidiary Interest or other equity interest, any option rights, or any equity interest in REO Subsidiary, whether in addition to, in substitution for, as a conversion of, or in exchange for the REO Subsidiary Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, PMC shall accept the same as agent for Administrative Agent and Buyers, hold the same in trust for the Administrative Agent and Buyers and deliver the same forthwith to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by PMC to the Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated transfer power, if required, covering such certificate duly executed in blank, to be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees subject to the terms hereof as additional security for the Obligations.  Any sums paid upon or in respect of the REO Subsidiary Interests upon the liquidation or dissolution of REO Subsidiary shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent as additional security for the Obligations.  If following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the REO Subsidiary Interests shall be received by PMC, PMC shall, until such money 


			
	
 
	
-49-
	
 




 



 

or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Administrative Agent and Buyers segregated from other funds of PMC as additional security for the Obligations. 

i.Voting Rights. Subject to this Section, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers as the holder shall exercise all voting and member rights with respect to the Repurchase Assets, provided that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent (i) shall not exercise any voting or member right with respect to the Repurchase Assets without giving Sellers prior written notice (which may be in the form of an email transmission and which notice shall describe the contemplated action); provided that, to the extent that any voting or member action is in response to a request by a Seller or an Affiliate of Seller, such notice may be in the form of a response to such request; and provided further that Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Seller for any failure to deliver such notice to the extent that such failure is not due to bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent, and (ii) shall exercise all such voting and member rights as instructed by Sellers unless Administrative Agent shall determine in its good faith discretion that such exercise in accordance with such instruction would otherwise result in a breach of a provision of this Agreement, an Event of Default under this Agreement or would adversely affect the Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ rights or interests under this Agreement or with respect to the REO Subsidiary Interests or Repurchase Assets.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (x) remove a Servicer or Program Manager, as applicable, or terminate a Servicing Agreement or Program Management Agreement, as applicable, in connection with a default by a Servicer or Program Manager, as applicable, or (y) consent or refuse to consent to a waiver of a material breach or consent or refuse to consent to a material modification of a Servicing Agreement or Program Management Agreement, as applicable.  In no event shall Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers be required to cast any vote or exercise any member right or take other action which would impair the Repurchase Assets or the REO Subsidiary Interests, as applicable, or which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers shall have no obligation to (a) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit REO Subsidiary to issue any interests of any nature or to issue any other interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any interests of such entity, or (b) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to the REO Subsidiary Interests or (c) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, the Sellers’ or REO Subsidiary’s interest in the Repurchase Assets except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement, or (d) except as provided in this Agreement, enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Sellers or REO Subsidiary to sell, assign or transfer the Repurchase Assets.

Agent and Buyers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the issuance or reissuance of the REO Subsidiary Interests in Administrative Agent’s name is for the sole purpose of perfecting Administrative Agent’s security interest hereunder in the REO Subsidiary Interests (by means of “control” under Section 8-106(b)(2) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and for otherwise exercising its rights as permitted under this Agreement, and (ii) the security interest in the REO Subsidiary Interests granted hereunder shall constitute a security interest in all legal and beneficial interest in and to such REO Subsidiary Interests but not a sale or transfer of such legal and beneficial interest in and to such REO Subsidiary Interest.

Sellers shall reimburse Administrative Agent and  Buyers for any of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ reasonable out‐of‐pocket costs, including due diligence review costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers in determining the acceptability to Administrative Agent and Buyers of any Mortgage Loans.  Sellers shall also pay, or reimburse Administrative Agent and Buyers if Administrative Agent or Buyers shall pay, any termination fee, which may be due any servicer.  Legal fees for any subsequent amendments to this Agreement or related documents shall be borne by Sellers.  Sellers shall pay ongoing custodial fees and expenses as set forth in the Custodial Agreement, and any other ongoing fees and expenses under any other Program Agreement. 

b.If any Buyer determines that, due to the introduction of, any change in, or required change in compliance by such Buyer with (i) any eurocurrency reserve requirement or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be an increase in the cost to such Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions or remitting Purchase Price Increases, then Sellers agree to pay to such Buyer, from time to time, upon demand by such Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the actual cost of additional amounts as specified by such Buyer to compensate such Buyer for such increased costs; provided that this Section 11(b) shall only apply to the extent that such increased costs are not reflected in Administrative Agent’s calculation of the Base Rate.

c.With respect to any Transaction or Purchase Price Increase, as applicable, Administrative Agent and Buyers may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Sellers in acting upon, any request or other communication that Administrative Agent and Buyers reasonably believe to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction or request a Purchase Price Increase, as applicable, on any Seller’s behalf, whether or not such person is listed on the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 10(a)(6) hereof.  In each such case, each Seller hereby waives the right to dispute Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ record of the terms of the request or other communication.

d.Notwithstanding the assignment of the Program Agreements with respect to each Repurchase Asset to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, each Seller Party agrees and covenants with Administrative Agent and Buyers to enforce diligently such Seller Party’s rights and remedies set forth in the Program Agreements. 

e.(i)  Any payments made by Sellers or Guarantor to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or a Buyer assignee or participant hereunder or any Program Agreement shall 


			
	
 
	
-57-
	
 




 



 

be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If Sellers or Guarantor shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Tax from any sums payable to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Administrative Agent assignee or participant, then (i) the Sellers or Guarantor shall make such deductions or withholdings and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; (ii) to the extent the withheld or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall 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 11(e)) Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; and (iii) the Sellers shall notify the Administrative Agent 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) days thereafter. Sellers and Guarantor shall otherwise indemnify Administrative Agent and such Buyer, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on Administrative Agent or such Buyer (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 11(e)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. 

(ii)  Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and Buyer assignee and participant to deliver to each of the Sellers and the Guarantor, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Sellers or Guarantor, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Sellers or Guarantor as will permit payments made hereunder to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and Buyer assignee and participant, if reasonably requested by Sellers or Guarantor, to deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Sellers or Guarantor as will enable the Sellers or Guarantor to determine whether or not such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation in Section 11(e)((ii)(A), (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in the Buyer’s or any Buyer’s assignee’s or participant’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall cause a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant to deliver to each of the Sellers and Guarantor, to the extent legally entitled to do so:

Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and Sellers agree that they will treat and report for all tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from a Buyer to Sellers secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets, unless otherwise prohibited by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for tax purposes.

For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Administrative Agent as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.

(6)If Seller Parties should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Seller Parties or any entity responsible to Seller Parties for managing or servicing any such Purchased Mortgage Loan or REO Property has failed to perform fully Seller Parties’ obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, Seller Parties shall promptly notify Administrative Agent.

13.Representations and Warranties

(1)Seller Parties and Guarantors Existence.  PMC has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  PennyMac Holdings, LLC has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust has been duly organized and is validly existing as a real estate investment trust in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.  PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. REO Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 

(2)Licenses.  Each Seller Party and each Guarantor is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it conducts and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Seller Party and each Guarantor has the requisite power and authority, legal right and necessary licenses (including from VA and FHA, if applicable) to originate and purchase Mortgage Loans and/or REO Property, lease Rental Property (as applicable) and to own, sell and grant a lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, Rental Properties and REO Property, and to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and conditions of, each Program Agreement and any Transaction Request or Purchase Price Increase Request, as applicable.  

(3)Power.  Each Seller Party and each Guarantor 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.

(4)Due Authorization.  Each Seller Party and each Guarantor has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable.  Each Program Agreement has been (or, in the case of Program Agreements not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller Parties and Guarantors, all requisite or other corporate action having 


			
	
 
	
-63-
	
 




 



 

been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against Seller Parties and Guarantors in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

(5)Financial Statements.  Each of PMIT, PMC and PennyMac Holdings have heretofore furnished to Administrative Agent a copy of its consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash for such fiscal year, with the opinion thereon of Deloitte & Touche LLP.  All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of PMIT, PMC or PennyMac Holdings and their consolidated Subsidiaries, as applicable and the consolidated results of their operations as at such dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP (other than monthly financial statements solely with respect to footnotes, year-end adjustments and cash flow statements) applied on a consistent basis.  Each of PMIT, PMC, and PennyMac Holdings has, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this Section (the “Statement Date”) no 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 Sellers except as heretofore disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing.

(6)Event of Default.  There exists no Event of Default under Section 15(b) hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in Section 15(b) hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to the repurchase of mortgage loans or securities.

(7)Solvency.  Each Seller Party and each Guarantor is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction or Purchase Price Increase and, after giving effect to such Transaction or Purchase Price Increase, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business.  No Seller Party nor any Guarantor intends to incur, nor believes that it has incurred, debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature and are not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any of its assets.  The amount of consideration being received by each Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Assets.  No Seller is transferring any Purchased Assets or any Contributed Asset to the REO Subsidiary with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.  Each transfer of Contributed Assets to REO

Subsidiary constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Contributed Assets

(8)No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each of each Seller Party and each Guarantor of each Program Agreement do not conflict with any term or provision of the formation documents or by‐laws of Seller Parties or Guarantors or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to any Seller Party or any Guarantor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over any Seller Party or any Guarantor, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which any Seller Party or any Guarantor is a party.

(9)True and Complete Disclosure.  All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of Seller Parties, Guarantors, any Property Manager, or any Affiliate thereof or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Administrative Agent or Buyers in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of Seller Parties, Guarantors, any Underlying Repurchase Counterparty, any Property Manager, or any Affiliate or officer thereof, negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements are true and complete and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.  All financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (other than monthly financial statements solely with respect to footnotes, year-end adjustments and cash flow statements).

(10)Approvals.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to any governmental authority or court is required under applicable law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Seller Party or any Guarantor of each Program Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that certain details, excluding pricing details, of the Program Agreements will be filed in the Guarantor’s 8-K filing.

(11)Litigation.  There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which any Seller Party or either Guarantor has received service of process or, to the best of such Seller Party’s or either Guarantor’s knowledge threatened against it before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of any Program Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any Program Agreement, (C) making a claim individually or in the aggregate in an amount greater than (x) $10,000,000 against any Seller, Underlying Repurchase Counterparty or any of their Affiliates or (y) $250,000 against REO Subsidiary, (D) which requires filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder or (E) which might

materially and adversely affect the validity of the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans or Contributed Assets or the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of any Program Agreement.

(12)Material Adverse Change.  There has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or prospects of Underlying Repurchase Counterparty, Seller Parties, Guarantors or their Affiliates since the date set forth in the most recent financial statements supplied to Administrative Agent as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole good faith discretion.

(13)Ownership.  Upon (a) payment of the Purchase Price and the filing of the financing statement and delivery of the Asset Files to the Custodian and delivery to Custodian of the originals of the Subsidiary Certificates re-registered in Administrative Agent’s name and the Custodian’s receipt of the related Request for Certification, Administrative Agent shall become the sole owner of the Purchased Assets and have a Lien on the related Repurchase Assets for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees, (b) transfer of each REO Property, the REO Subsidiary shall become the sole owner of the REO Properties, and (c) transfer of each Rental Property to the REO Subsidiary shall become the sole owner of the Rental Properties, in each case, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.  No Seller Party has assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Purchased Asset or Contributed Asset to any other Person, (other than to the Underlying Repurchase Counterparty under the Underlying Repurchase Documents provided such liens are subordinate in all respects to the liens hereunder), and immediately prior to the sale and backup pledge of such Purchased Asset, Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees, such Seller Party was the sole owner thereof and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens.  No Seller Party has assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Program Agreement to any other Person and such Seller Party is the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all Liens.

At Administrative Agent’s or a Buyer’s request, the REO Subsidiary shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent or such Buyer, as applicable, copies of all Lease Agreements which are entered into pursuant to this Section 14(ii)(1) together with the REO Subsidiary’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section 14(ii)(1).

For the avoidance of doubt, a termination of a Lease Agreement with a Tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a material adverse effect on the value of the related Rental Property taken as a whole.

(5)The REO Subsidiary shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each related Tenant, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease Agreement to, or shall itself, directly or through Property Manager, ensure that: (x) all uses and operations on or of the Rental Properties are free of Environmental Issues and in compliance with permits issued pursuant thereto and (y) the Rental Properties shall be kept free and clear of all Liens and other encumbrances that may be imposed as a result of any Environmental Issue, whether due to any act or omission of the REO Subsidiary, Tenant or any other person or entity.

The REO Subsidiary shall strictly enforce the terms and provisions of the Program Management Agreement and shall not, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, waive the performance by Program Manager of any action, or any default under the Program Management Agreement resulting from Program Manager’s failure to perform any action, if the failure to perform such action could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the REO Subsidiary, the Rental Properties, Administrative Agent or Buyers in any material respect.  The REO Subsidiary shall not and shall not permit the Property Manager to enter into any other property management agreement in respect of the Rental Properties other than the Property Management Agreement.

kk.REO Subsidiary Account.  Sellers have established and shall maintain a REO Subsidiary Account and shall ensure at all times that such REO Subsidiary Account is subject to a REO Subsidiary Account Control Agreement.  Sellers shall maintain a balance in the REO Subsidiary Account at least equal to the REO Subsidiary Account Required Balance, which will be held as cash margin and additional collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement.  Any interest on funds deposited in the REO Subsidiary Account shall be deposited in the REO Subsidiary Account.  Upon the Termination Date and the payment of all amounts due by the Sellers to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers hereunder, all amounts on deposit in the REO Subsidiary Account shall be remitted to the Sellers.  Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the distribution and application of funds on deposit in the REO Subsidiary Account shall, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, be applied as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Administrative Agent in writing.

16.Remedies Upon Default

In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred:

a.Administrative Agent may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of any Seller Party or any Affiliate), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction or Purchase Price Increase Date for any Purchase Price Increase has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction or Purchase Price Increase shall be deemed immediately canceled). Administrative Agent shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to Seller Parties and Guarantors of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

b.If Administrative Agent exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) any Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Administrative Agent and applied, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Sellers hereunder, and (iii) a Seller Party shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent the Asset Files relating to any Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets subject to such Transactions then in such Seller Party’s possession or control.

c.Administrative Agent also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of each Seller Party relating to the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of any Seller Party or any third party acting for such Seller Party.  To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets held by Custodian, Administrative Agent shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt.  Without limiting the rights of Administrative Agent hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights 


			
	
 
	
-90-
	
 




 



 

available to Administrative Agent for Seller Party’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, each of the Seller Parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Administrative Agent from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

d.Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct all servicers or the Property Manager then servicing or managing any Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets to remit all collections thereon to Administrative Agent, and if any such payments are received by any Seller Party, such Seller Party shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of such Seller Party and shall promptly pay them over to Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers or Property Manager then servicing or managing any Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets with or without cause.  In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Assets, cause REO Subsidiary to sell the Contributed Assets and liquidate all Repurchase Assets.  Such disposition of Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans, Contributed Assets or Repurchase Assets may be, at Administrative Agent’s option, on either a servicing‐released or a servicing‐retained basis.  Administrative Agent shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans, Contributed Assets or Repurchase Assets with respect to any such disposition thereof.  Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans, Contributed Assets or Repurchase Assets.  The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans, Contributed Assets or Repurchase Assets and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof.  Each Seller Party agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Administrative Agent to dispose of the Purchased Assets or to cause the disposition of Contributed Assets or dispose of the Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans, Contributed Assets or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match Buyers and sellers of assets.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to place the Purchased Assets or cause the placement of the Contributed Assets in a pool for issuance of securities at the then‐prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market.  Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets individually for the prevailing price. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets or causing the sale of all or a portion of such Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets, to give the Sellers credit for such Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets and 


			
	
 
	
-91-
	
 




 



 

Repurchase Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Sellers hereunder.

e.Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Administrative Agent may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

f.Each Seller Party shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and each Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting  creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Administrative Agent and Buyers) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

g.To the extent permitted by applicable law, Sellers shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Sellers hereunder, from the date Sellers become liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Sellers or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights hereunder.  Interest on any sum payable by Sellers under this Section 16(g) shall accrue at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

h.Each Seller Party recognizes that the market for the Purchased Assets or Contributed Assets may not be liquid and as a result it may not be possible for Administrative Agent to sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner.  Each Seller Party further recognizes that Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the REO Subsidiary Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the 1934 Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  In view of the nature of the REO Subsidiary Interests, each Seller Party agrees that liquidation of any REO Subsidiary Interests may be conducted in a private sale and at such price as Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable.  Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any REO Subsidiary Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the applicable Seller to register the REO 


			
	
 
	
-92-
	
 




 



 

Subsidiary Interests for public sale under the 1934 Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Seller would agree to do so.

i.Each Seller Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of any portion of the REO Subsidiary Interests pursuant to this Agreement valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable laws other than registration under applicable securities laws, provided that each Seller shall have no obligation to register the REO Subsidiary Interests for public sale under the 1934 Act.  Each Seller Party further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Administrative Agent and Buyers, that Administrative Agent and Buyers have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against the Seller Parties, and each Seller Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for defense that no Event of Default has occurred hereunder.

j.Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

k.Administrative Agent may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Administrative Agent immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller Parties or Guarantors.  All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent may have.

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

m.Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence with respect to each Seller Party and the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, which review shall be at the expense of such Seller.


			
	
 
	
-93-
	
 




 



 

n.To the fullest extent permitted by law, the REO Subsidiary for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of the REO Subsidiary, the REO Subsidiary’s partners or members and of the Rental Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent or Buyers under the Program Agreements to a sale of the Rental Properties for the collection of the Repurchase Assets without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent and Buyers to the payment of the Repurchase Assets out of the net proceeds of the Rental Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.  In addition, the REO Subsidiary, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to the REO Subsidiary which would require the separate sale of the Rental Properties or require Administrative Agent to exhaust its remedies against any Rental Property or any combination of the Rental Properties before proceeding against any other Rental Property or combination of Rental Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure the REO Subsidiary does hereby expressly consent to and authorizes, at the option of Administrative Agent, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Rental Properties.

17.Reports

Seller Parties or Guarantors shall furnish to Administrative Agent (i) promptly, copies of any material and adverse notices (including, without limitation, notices of defaults, breaches, potential defaults or potential breaches) and any material financial information that is not otherwise required to be provided by Seller Parties or Guarantors hereunder which is given to Seller Parties’ or Guarantors’ lenders and (ii) immediately, notice of the occurrence of any (A) Event of Default hereunder, (B) default or breach by Seller Parties or Servicer or Guarantors of any obligation under any Program Agreement or any material contract or agreement of Seller Parties, Servicer or Guarantors or (C) event or circumstance that such party reasonably expects has resulted in, or will, with the passage of time, result in, a Material Adverse Effect or an Event of Default or such a default or breach by such party.

Administrative Agent and Buyers are each hereby authorized to share any information delivered hereunder with the Repledgee; provided, that, Administrative Agent or such Buyer will cause such Repledgee to execute and deliver a non-disclosure agreement agreeing to keep such information delivered by Administrative Agent or any Buyer to such Repledgee confidential, on substantially similar terms as set forth in Section 32 of this Agreement.

19.Single Agreement

21.Entire Agreement; Severability

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions.  Each provision and 


			
	
 
	
-101-
	
 




 



 

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

22.Non assignability

a.Assignments.  The Program Agreements are not assignable by any Seller Party or Guarantor.  Subject to Section 36 (Acknowledgement of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement) hereof, Administrative Agent and Buyers may from time to time assign all or a portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements; provided, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred, (i) an assignment by a Committed Buyer or (ii) an assignment to a non-Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Buyers, shall, in each case, require Seller’s prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Sellers, for review by Sellers upon written request, a register of assignees and participants (the “Register”) and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Administrative Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller, Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the preceding sentence as a Buyer hereunder. Upon such assignment and recordation in the Register, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder, as applicable, and (b) Administrative Agent and Buyers shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by them pursuant to this Section to an assignee which assumes the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers, as applicable, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements.  Any assignment hereunder shall be deemed a joinder of such assignee as a Buyer hereto.  Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller Parties shall continue to take directions solely from Administrative Agent unless otherwise notified by Administrative Agent in writing.  Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual assignee this Agreement, the other Program Agreements, any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Seller Parties.

b.Participations.  Any Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Program Agreements; provided, however, that (i) such Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Seller Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent and/or Buyers in connection with such Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements except as provided in Section 7.  Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual participant this Agreement, the other Program Agreements any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Seller Parties; provided, that, Administrative Agent or such Buyer will cause such party to execute and deliver a non-disclosure agreement agreeing to keep such information delivered by 


			
	
 
	
-102-
	
 




 



 

Administrative Agent or any Buyer to such prospective or actual participant confidential, on substantially similar terms as set forth in Section 32 of this Agreement.

23.Set-off

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder and by law, the Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have the right, without prior notice to the Seller Parties or Guarantors, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller Parties and Guarantors to the extent permitted by applicable law to set‐off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from any Seller Party, any Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof to a 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 a Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Seller Parties, any Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof.  Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Seller Parties or Guarantors after any such set off and application made by a Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

24.Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction

a.This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Each Seller Party acknowledges that the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Administrative Agent and Buyers.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (EXCEPT FOR SECTION 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

b.EACH SELLER PARTY AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH SELLER PARTY AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  EACH SELLER PARTY AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMIT TO, AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.


			
	
 
	
-103-
	
 




 



 

25.No Waivers, Etc.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.  Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6(a), 16(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

26.Intent

a.The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, 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 Title 11 of the United States 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 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.  Each Seller Party, Administrative Agent and Buyers further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).  For the avoidance of doubt, the pledge of the REO Subsidiary Interests which constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this Agreement and Transactions thereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

b.Administrative Agent’s or a Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets, Repurchase Assets, Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 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 Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be 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 


			
	
 
	
-104-
	
 




 



 

statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

d.It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

e.This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 101(47), Section 555, Section 559 and Section 741 under the Bankruptcy Code.

f.Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

g.For U.S. federal tax purposes, each of the Seller Parties, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, each Administrative Agent assignee, the Buyers, and each Buyer assignee by acquiring an interest in any Transaction agree to treat and report each Transaction as indebtedness issued by PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, PMC or PennyMac Holdings, LLC as the case may be, which indebtedness, in the case of each obligor, shall have but a single maturity for purposes of Code section 7701(i)(2)(A)(ii) and U.S. Treasury Regulation section 301.7701(i)-1(e).

27.Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

a.in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934 Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the SIPA do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

b.in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

c.in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.


			
	
 
	
-105-
	
 




 



 

28.Power of Attorney

Each Seller Party hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets without such Seller Party’s signature thereon as Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem appropriate.  Each Seller Party hereby appoints Administrative Agent as such Seller Party’s agent and attorney‐in‐fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in such Seller Party’s name and to perform all other acts which Administrative Agent deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of such Seller Party as its agent and attorney‐in‐fact and exercise all rights and remedies of such Seller Party thereunder and to act as attorney-in-fact for Underlying Repurchase Counterparty.  This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Administrative Agent’s consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Default hereunder. Sellers shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28.  In addition the foregoing, each Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, in the form of Exhibit D hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof.  Sellers shall cause PennyMac Loan Services, LLC and REO Subsidiary to execute a Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit E-1 and Exhibit E-2, respectively, hereto.  

29.Buyers May Act Through Administrative Agent and REO Subsidiary May Act Through Seller

Each Buyer has designated the Administrative Agent for the purpose of performing any action hereunder.  Pursuant to the Subsidiary Agreement, the REO Subsidiary has appointed Sellers as its agent with respect to the execution, delivery and/or performance of any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the Custodial Agreement, any Servicing Agreement and any Servicer Notice.

30.Indemnification; Obligations

a.Each Seller and each Guarantor agrees to hold Administrative Agent, Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Request or Purchase Price Increase Request, any Program Agreement, any Underlying Repurchase Document, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

provided for herein, any Transaction Request or Purchase Price Increase Request, and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.  Each Seller’s and each Guarantor’s agreements in this Section 30 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Each Seller Party and each Guarantor also agrees not to assert any claim against Administrative Agent, each Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions or Purchase Price Increases, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.  THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.

b.Without limitation to the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction or Purchase Price Increase is made by Sellers other than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 16 or for any other reason, Sellers shall, upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers an amount sufficient to compensate Buyers for any losses, costs or expenses that they may reasonably incur as of a result of such payment.

c.Without limiting the provisions of Section 30(a) hereof, if Sellers fail to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Sellers by Administrative Agent (subject to reimbursement by Sellers), in its sole discretion.

31.Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in a Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement.

32.Confidentiality

shall be held by each Seller Party and each Guarantor in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Administrative Agent except for (i) disclosure to Seller Parties’ or Guarantors’ direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii)  disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreement, 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 no Seller Party may disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Administrative Agent and Buyers or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Commitment Fee, 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 the Administrative Agent.

b.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller Party 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 Repurchase Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”).  Each Seller Party 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 “Act”), and each Seller Party agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.  Each Seller Party shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be 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 Act) of Administrative Agent and Buyers or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Buyers which such Seller Party 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 Party represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect.  Upon request, each Seller Party will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Administrative Agent and/or Buyers to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section.  Without limitation, this may include Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ review of audits, summaries of 


			
	
 
	
-108-
	
 




 



 

test results, and other equivalent evaluations of each Seller Party.  The Seller Parties shall notify Administrative Agent immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyers, or any Affiliate of Buyers provided directly to the Seller Parties by Administrative Agent, Buyers or such Affiliate.  The Seller Parties shall provide such notice to Administrative Agent by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.

33.Recording of Communications

Administrative Agent, Buyers, Seller Parties and Guarantors shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions.  Administrative Agent, Buyers, Seller Parties and Guarantors consent to the admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration, or other proceedings.  The parties agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the parties’ agreement.

34.Reserved.

35.Conflicts

In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Program Agreement, the documents shall control in the following order of priority:  first, the terms of the Pricing Side Letter shall prevail, then the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and then the terms of the other Program Agreements shall prevail.

36.Periodic Due Diligence Review

Each Seller Party and each Guarantor acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Buyers have the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to each Seller Party, each Guarantor, Underlying Repurchase Counterparty and the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, for the purpose of performing quality control review of the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets or otherwise, and upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Sellers, each Seller agrees to permit or shall cause Underlying Repurchase Counterparty to permit Administrative Agent, Buyers or their authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Asset Files and any and all documents, data, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets (including, without limitation, quality control review) in the possession or under the control of Sellers, Guarantors, Underlying Repurchase Counterparty and/or the Custodian.  Sellers also shall make available or cause Underlying Repurchase Counterparty to make available to Administrative Agent and Buyers a knowledgeable financial 


			
	
 
	
-109-
	
 




 



 

or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Purchased Assets, Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller and each Guarantor acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Buyers may purchase Purchased Assets or enter into Transactions with respect to Contributed Assets from such Seller based solely upon the information provided by such Seller to Administrative Agent and Buyers in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Administrative Agent or Buyers, at their option, have the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering BPOs, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Purchased Mortgage Loan or Contributed Asset.  Administrative Agent or Buyers may underwrite such Purchased Asset, Contributed Asset or Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting.  Each Seller agrees to cooperate or cause Underlying Repurchase Counterparty to cooperate with Administrative Agent, Buyers and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent, Buyers and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets, Contributed Assets or Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of such Seller.  Each Seller further agrees that Sellers shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers in connection with Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ activities pursuant to this Section 36 (“Due Diligence Costs”).

37.Authorizations  

Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 2 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller Parties or Administrative Agent to the extent set forth therein, as the case may be, under this Agreement.  The Seller Parties may amend Schedule 2 from time to time by delivering a revised Schedule 2 to Administrative Agent and expressly stating that such revised Schedule 2 shall replace the existing Schedule 2.

38.Acknowledgment of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement

Pursuant to Section 22 (Non assignability) of this Agreement, Administrative Agent may sell, transfer and convey or allocate certain Purchased Mortgage Loans, Contributed Assets and the related Repurchase Assets and related Transactions to certain affiliates of Administrative Agent and/or one or more CP Conduits (the “Additional Buyers”).  Sellers and Guarantor each hereby acknowledges and agrees to the joinder of such Additional Buyers.  The Administrative Agent shall administer the provisions of this Agreement, for the benefit of the Buyers and any Repledgees, as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, all payments, notices, communications and agreements pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to, and entered into by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Buyers and/or the Repledgees, as applicable.  Furthermore, to the extent that the Administrative Agent exercises remedies pursuant to this Agreement, any of the Administrative Agent and/or any Buyer will have the right to bid on and/or purchase any of the Repurchase Assets pursuant to Section 16 (Remedies Upon Default).  The benefit of all representations, rights, remedies and covenants set forth in the 


			
	
 
	
-110-
	
 




 



 

Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of each Buyer and Repledgees, as applicable.  All provisions of the Agreement shall survive the transfers contemplated herein (including any Repledge Transactions).  Notwithstanding that multiple Buyers may purchase individual Mortgage Loans subject to Transactions entered into under this Agreement, all Transactions shall continue to be deemed a single Transaction and all of the Repurchase Assets shall be security for all of the Obligations hereunder.

39.Acknowledgement of Anti-Predatory Lending Policies

Administrative Agent has in place internal policies and procedures that expressly prohibit its purchase of any High Cost Mortgage Loan.

40.Documents Mutually Drafted

Each Seller Party, each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent and the Buyers agree that this Agreement and each other Program Agreement prepared in connection with the Transactions set forth herein have been mutually drafted and negotiated by each party, and consequently such documents shall not be construed against either party as the drafter thereof.

Agreement or any other Program Agreement based upon or arising out of the disability or other defense or cessation of liability of one Seller Party versus the other.

The amendment and restatement of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof, and each of Administrative Agent, Buyers, Guarantors and the Seller Parties shall hereafter be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Program Agreements.  This Agreement amends and restates the terms and conditions of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement, and is not a novation of any of the agreements or obligations incurred pursuant to the terms of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement. Accordingly, all of the agreements and obligations incurred pursuant to the terms of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement are hereby ratified and affirmed by the parties hereto and remain in full force and effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of Administrative Agent, Buyers, Guarantors and the Seller Parties that the security interests and liens granted in the Purchased Assets, Contributed Assets or Repurchase Assets pursuant to Section 8 of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

SCHEDULE 1

PART I

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO NEW ORIGINATION MORTGAGE LOANS

The Sellers make the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the New Origination Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction that as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of New Origination Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, from a Seller, and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder relating to the New Origination Mortgage Loans is outstanding and at all times while the Program Agreements and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect.  For purposes of this Schedule 1 and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to the New Origination Mortgage Loans if and when the Sellers have 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 New Origination Mortgage Loans.

(a)Payments Current.  All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the 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 and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of Sellers, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan.  The first Monthly Payment shall be made, or shall have 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.  

(b)No Outstanding Charges.  All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.  No Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which the applicable Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan 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 proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and/or interest thereunder.

(c)Original Terms Unmodified.  The terms of the Mortgage Note (and the Proprietary Lease, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Stock Power with respect to each Co-op Loan) and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyers, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and 


			
	
 
	
Schedule 1 Part 1-1
	
 




 



 

the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Asset Schedule.  The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required, and its terms are reflected on the Custodial Asset Schedule.  No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Asset File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Asset Schedule.

(d)No Defenses.  The Mortgage Loan (and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease related to each Co-op Loan) is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.  No Seller has knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.  

(e)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 a Seller 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 1973.  All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the applicable 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 30 days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee.  No such notice has been received by a 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 


			
	
 
	
Schedule 1 Part 1-2
	
 




 



 

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 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 a Seller.

(f)Compliance with Applicable Laws.  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 or disclosure 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 the applicable Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Administrative Agent, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.

(g)No Satisfaction of Mortgage.  The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, 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 release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.  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.

(h)Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgaged Property is located in an Acceptable State as identified in the Custodial Asset Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise Co-op Project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development; provided, however, that any condominium unit, Co-op Unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings or shall conform to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home.  No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(i)Valid First Lien.  The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and, with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Second Lien Mortgage Loans, perfected first priority lien and first priority security interest or, with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, a second lien or a second priority security interest, in each case, 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:


			
	
 
	
Schedule 1 Part 1-3
	
 




 



 

(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 lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;

(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;

(iv) with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, a first lien.

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 (a) with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Second Lien Mortgage Loans, first lien and first priority security interest and (b) with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, second lien and second priority interest, in each case, on the property described therein and the applicable Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Administrative Agent.

The applicable Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’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 Agreement.

With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and/or interest (subject to an “interest only” period in the case of Interest Only Loans), which installments of interest (a) with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans are subject to change on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date and (b) with respect to Interest Only Loans are subject to change on the Interest Only Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Only Adjustment Date, in both cases with interest calculated and payable in

Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the 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 any 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 any Seller, Administrative Agent, a 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 any Seller, Administrative Agent, a Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage.

(j)No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Underlying Repurchase Documents by the Underlying Repurchase Counterparty do not conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien (other than pursuant to the Underlying Repurchase Documents) under, any material mortgage, deed of trust, Agreement, partnership agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which the Underlying Repurchase Counterparty is a party or to which any of its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Underlying Repurchase Counterparty, and any qualification of or with any governmental authority required for the execution, delivery, and performance by the Underlying Repurchase Counterparty of the Underlying Repurchase Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

(j)No Damage/Condemnation.  To the best of Sellers’ knowledge, the  Mortgaged Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake, earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado, defective construction materials or work, or similar casualty (excluding casualty from the presence of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances) to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan as reflected in the value of the Mortgage Loan; and to the best of Sellers’ knowledge, there is no proceeding (pending or threatened) for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.

(l)Existence of Title Insurance.  The Mortgage Loan (except any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in any jurisdiction for which an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is instead received) is covered by an American Land Title Association mortgagee title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac insuring the originator and its successors, and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original or current principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions, and restrictions, rights of way, easements, and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such mortgage acceptable to mortgage lending institutions in the area in which the Mortgaged Property is located or specifically referred to in the appraisal performed in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, (c) liens created pursuant to any federal, state, or local law, regulation, or ordinance affording liens for the costs of clean-up of hazardous substances or hazardous wastes or for other environmental protection purposes, and (d) such other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage. The Sellers or any other person on behalf of the Sellers are the sole insured of such mortgagee title insurance policy.

the Mortgage Loan, the improvements on the Mortgaged Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier in an amount representing commercially reasonable coverage.   Each Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense.  

(n)Mortgage Recorded.

(y)No Rescission.  (A) No Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the 


			
	
 
	
Schedule 1 Part 3-5
	
 




 



 

operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject it to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense, including the defense of usury; and (B) to the best of the applicable Seller’s knowledge, no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

SCHEDULE 1

PART VI

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO 

RENTAL PROPERTY

The Sellers make the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the Rental Property subject to a Transaction, that as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of Rental Property subject to a Transaction by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, from a Seller and as of the date of this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder relating to the Rental Property is outstanding and at all times while the Program Agreements and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect.  For purposes of this Schedule 1 and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to the Rental Property if and when the Sellers have 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 Rental Property.  

(a)Title.  The REO Subsidiary has good and marketable fee simple title to the Rental Property with full right to transfer and sell the Rental Property, free and clear of all liens.

(b)Asset File.  All documents required to be delivered as part of the Asset File in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, have been delivered to the Custodian and all information contained in the related Asset File (or as otherwise provided to Administrative Agent) in respect of such Rental Property is accurate and complete in all material respects.    

(c)Ownership.  The REO Subsidiary is the sole owner and holder of the Rental Property related thereto. The REO Subsidiary has not assigned or pledged the Rental Property.

(d)Rental Property as Described.  All information or data furnished with respect to such Rental Property, including, without limitation, the information set forth in the Transaction Request and the Program Agreements with respect to each Rental Property is complete, true and correct in all material respects.  There is no fact known to any Seller Party or their Affiliates which has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Rental Property or the local housing market containing such Rental Property that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of such Rental Property or the interest of the Administrative Agent or Buyers in such Rental Property.

 

(e)Owner’s Title Insurance Policy. The related Asset Files contain, for such Rental Property, an owner’s title insurance policy insuring the good and marketable fee ownership by the REO Subsidiary of such Rental Property or a title commitment for such a policy issued by a nationally recognized title insurer, and the REO Subsidiary has not been notified in writing of any fact that would lead a reasonable person to believe that Administrative Agent or Buyers cannot obtain similar insurance from a nationally recognized title insurer (without additional exceptions to coverage) upon payment of the applicable premium.  The REO 


			
	
 
	
Schedule 1 Part 6-1
	
 




 



 

Subsidiary is the sole insured of such owner’s title insurance policy, and such owner’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the pledge of the Rental Property to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Buyers) and all premiums thereon have been paid and no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the REO Subsidiary nor Property Manager has, by act or omission, done anything that would materially impair the coverage under such policy. No claims have been made under such owner’s title insurance policy, and the REO Subsidiary has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such owner’s title insurance policy.

(f)Deed. The Asset File for such Rental Property includes a Deed for such Rental Property conveying the Rental Property to the REO Subsidiary, with vesting in the actual name of the REO Subsidiary and (i)  evidence that such Deed has been duly recorded, (ii) certification from a Responsible Officer of the REO Subsidiary that such Deed has been submitted for recordation to the applicable recording office, or (iii) a stamped certification from the related title insurance company that such Deed has been submitted for recordation to the applicable recording office.

Such Rental Property (including the leasing and intended use thereof) complies with all applicable Requirements of Law, including all applicable anti-discrimination laws and landlord-tenant laws, building and zoning ordinances and codes and all certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits, required for the legal leasing, use, occupancy, habitability and operation of the Rental Property, have been obtained and are in full force and effect. There is no consent, approval, order or authorization of, and no filing with or notice to, any court or Governmental Authority related to the operation, use or leasing of the Rental Property that has not been obtained.  There has not been committed by REO Subsidiary or by any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation, use or leasing of the Rental Property any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Rental Property or any part thereof.

(h)Taxes, Assessments and Other Charges.  All taxes, homeowner or similar association fees, charges, and assessments, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents with respect to such Rental Property which previously became due and owing have been paid.  All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid under applicable Requirements of Law in connection with the transfer of such Rental Property to the REO Subsidiary have been paid or are being paid simultaneously with the making of the relevant Advance.  

(i)No Litigation.  There is no litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation pending, or any order, injunction or decree outstanding, existing or relating to the REO Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Rental Property that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the value of the Rental Property or the REO Subsidiary.  Neither the REO Subsidiary nor Property Manager has received notice from any Person (including without limitation any Governmental Authority) that the Rental Property owned by the REO Subsidiary is subject to any consumer litigation which could have a material and adverse effect on the value of the Rental Property.


			
	
 
	
Schedule 1 Part 6-2
	
 




 



 

(j)Hazard Insurance.  All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Rental Property (including loss of Rental Proceeds with respect to the Rental Property) are insured by an insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards in an amount not less than the lesser of the related BPO value and the replacement value of such Rental Property.  

(k)Flood Insurance.  If the improvements on the Rental Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards at the time the REO Subsidiary acquired such Rental Property, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier in an amount representing commercially reasonable coverage.

(m)No Damage.  The Rental Property is undamaged by water, fire, earthquake, earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado, defective construction materials or work, or similar casualty (excluding casualty from the presence of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances) which would cause such Rental Property to become uninhabitable.

(n)No Condemnation.  There is no proceeding pending, or threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of the Rental Property.

(o)Environmental Matters.  The Rental Property is in material compliance with all environmental laws.  No Seller Party has caused, or has knowledge of, any release on to the Rental Property or any adjoining property and to each Seller Party’s knowledge, no tenant of such Rental Property is involved in any activity that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any environmental liability for any Seller Party.  Additionally, (1) there is no condition affecting the Rental Property (x) relating to lead paint, radon, asbestos or other hazardous materials, (y) requiring remediation of any condition or (z) relating to a claim which could impose liability upon, diminish rights of or otherwise adversely affect Administrative Agent or Buyers and (2) the REO Subsidiary prior to the related Purchase Date has delivered or caused to be delivered to Administrative Agent a Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint and Lead-Based Paint Hazards for the Rental Property in a form acceptable to Administrative Agent to the extent required by applicable law.

(p)Location and Type of Rental Property.

There are no defaults by the REO Subsidiary or any Tenant under such Lease Agreement, and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute defaults under such Lease Agreement.  Except as the REO Subsidiary (or Property Manager acting on behalf of the REO Subsidiary) acting in its reasonable business judgment may otherwise determine, the REO Subsidiary has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration by the related Tenant existing under such Lease Agreement related to such Rental Property.

(e)Servicer further acknowledges that notwithstanding any prior owner of the Repurchase Assets, or any other agreement between such prior owner and the Servicer, Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights are superior to any other claim by any party and Servicer shall follow the directions of Administrative Agent and no other party. 

 

(f)Servicer agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Administrative Agent’s security interest created hereby.  Furthermore, the Servicer hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file financing statements relating to the security interest set forth herein, as Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem appropriate.

 

(g)Servicer agrees to the extent a deed for an REO Property is registered in the name of (a) a Seller, (b) the Servicer or (c) any prior owner or prior servicer for whom the Servicer is contractually permitted to act, in each case, it shall or shall cause to deliver for recordation (with a copy to Custodian) a deed in recordable form into the name of REO Subsidiary within the period of time generally necessary in the applicable jurisdiction for the Servicer, acting in accordance with the Servicing Guidelines.

 

(h)Servicer waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement or security interest hereunder and notice or proof of reliance by Administrative Agent upon this Servicer Notice and Pledge.
