b.               Acquisition of REO Property.  If the Seller shall cause the Trust Subsidiary or a TRS Facility Entity to acquire, or contemplate the acquisition by the Trust Subsidiary or a TRS Facility Entity 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 Seller 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 Trust Subsidiary or applicable TRS Facility Entity and in accordance with the terms of the Seller Operating Agreement or applicable TRS Facility Entity Documents; provided that Seller or the applicable Servicer may achieve this by initially taking such REO Property in the name of the Seller or its nominee pursuant to a nominee agreement, and then transferring (and hereby covenants to transfer) such REO Property to the Trust Subsidiary or applicable TRS Facility Entity by Deed within the period of time generally necessary in the applicable jurisdiction for the applicable Servicer.

32











 

Equity Ownership Interest in the Trust Subsidiary or TRS Facility Entity, as applicable, whether in addition to, in substitution for, as a conversion of, or in exchange for the Trust Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, Seller shall accept the same as the Buyer’s agent, hold the same in trust for the Buyer and deliver the same forthwith to the Buyer in the exact form received, duly indorsed by Seller to the Buyer, if required, together with an undated transfer power, if required, covering such certificate duly executed in blank, or if requested, deliver the Trust Interests re-registered in the name of Buyer, to be held by the Buyer subject to the terms hereof as additional security for the Obligations.  Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Trust Interests upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Trust Subsidiary or a TRS Facility Entity or otherwise shall be paid over to the Buyer 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 Trust Interests shall be received by Seller, then Seller shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Buyer, hold such money or property in trust for the Buyer segregated from other funds of Seller, as additional security for the Obligations.

 

e.               Cash Dividends; Voting Rights.  Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends or other cash distributions paid in respect of the Trust Interests and to exercise all voting and member rights with respect to the Trust Interests; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or member right exercised or other action taken which would impair the Trust Interests or which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement.  Without the prior consent of the Buyer, Seller shall not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit the Trust Subsidiary or TRS Facility Entity to issue any trust interests or shares of stock, as applicable, of any nature or to issue any other trust interests or shares of stock, as applicable, convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any trust interests or shares of stock, as applicable, of the Trust Subsidiary or a TRS Facility Entity, or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Trust Interests, or (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, the Trust Interests, or any interest therein, except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement, or (iv) enter into any agreement (other than the applicable Trust Agreement and this Agreement) or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Seller to sell, assign or transfer any of the Trust Interests.

 

f.               Intent.  The foregoing provision (a) is 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.

 

g.               Financing Statements.  Each of Seller and Trust Subsidiary agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Buyer’s security interest created hereby.  Furthermore, each of Seller and Trust Subsidiary hereby authorizes the Buyer to file financing statements relating to the Repurchase Assets, as the Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate.  The Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared

 

33











 

pursuant to this Section 8.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby agree that no mortgages will be filed with respect to such security interest. Trust Subsidiary hereby authorizes the Buyer and its counsel to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer describing as the collateral covered thereby “all assets of the debtor, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and all proceeds and products thereof” or words to that effect, and any limitations on such collateral description, notwithstanding that such collateral description may be broader in scope than the collateral described in Section 8(h) of this Agreement.

 

h.               Pledge of Trust Subsidiary Assets. Buyer, Seller and Trust Subsidiary each hereby agrees that in order to further secure the Obligations hereunder, Trust Subsidiary hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance of Seller of the Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Trust Mortgage Loans and the Stock Interests, the Records related to the Trust Mortgage Loans and the Stock Interests, the Servicing Rights, the Program Agreements (to the extent such Program Agreements and Trust Subsidiary’s right thereunder relate to the Trust Mortgage Loans and the Stock Interests), any Property relating to the Trust Mortgage Loans and the Stock Interests, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to the Trust Mortgage Loans or the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance, hazard insurance and mortgage insurance contracts and loan guaranty agreements (if any), to the extent of the Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties protected thereby, Income, the Collection Account and all amounts deposited therein, accounts (including any interest of the Trust Mortgage Loans in escrow accounts) and any other contract rights, instruments, accounts, payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges), general intangibles and other assets relating to the Trust Mortgage Loans and the Stock Interests (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Trust Mortgage Loans or the Stock Interests, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions with respect to any of the foregoing, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Trust Subsidiary Assets” and together with the Seller Repurchase Assets, the “Repurchase Assets”).  All Trust Subsidiary Assets shall be deemed to be part of the Repurchase Assets.

 

i.                Consolidation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Transactions evidence Seller’s agreement to transfer to Buyer the Trust Interests against the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to transfer to the Seller, at a later date, such Trust Interests against the transfer of funds by Seller, understanding that the Trust Subsidiary is a separate entity from the Seller.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, in the event that, contrary to the express intent of the parties hereto, a court or other applicable regulatory, administrative or other governmental body (including without limitation a bankruptcy court in the event that the Seller were to become a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code) were to rule that the Trust Subsidiary was not so separate and that the Trust Subsidiary Assets are property belonging to the Seller, the Transactions shall be deemed to evidence Seller’s agreement to transfer to Buyer the Trust Subsidiary Assets (as defined below), instead of the Trust Interests, against the transfer of funds by

 

34











 

Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to transfer to the Seller, at a later date, such Trust Subsidiary Assets against the transfer of funds by Seller.

 

9.             Payment and Transfer

 

Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Buyer at such account as Buyer shall specify to Seller in writing.  Seller acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the foregoing account.  All Purchased Assets transferred by one party hereto to the other party shall be in the case of a purchase by Buyer in suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and such other documentation as Buyer may reasonably request.  All Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be evidenced by a Trust Receipt.

The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by each applicable Buyer or Buyer assignee on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a Buyer or Buyer assignee under this Agreement, as the case may be, and upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any IRS form previously delivered by it hereunder.

 

f.             Any indemnification payable by Seller to Buyer or any Buyer assignee for Indemnified Taxes that are imposed on Buyer or a Buyer assignee, as described in Section 11(e)(i) hereof, shall be paid by Seller within ten (10) days after written demand therefor.  As part of any such written demand for payment, the Buyer or the relevant Buyer assignee shall deliver a certificate to Seller (along with a copy of the applicable documents from the relevant Governmental Authority) setting forth a calculation of the amount of Indemnified Taxes for which the demand is made, which calculated amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Buyer or relevant Buyer assignee also shall timely deliver to the Seller a receipt (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Seller) of the actual payment of Indemnified Taxes with respect to which the indemnification request relates.

 

g.               If the Buyer or Buyer assignee determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Seller or Guarantor or with respect to which the Seller has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Seller or Guarantor under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Buyer

 

42











 

or Buyer assignee and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the indemnifying party, upon the request of the Buyer or Buyer assignee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to them (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event the Buyer or Buyer assignee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 11(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

 

h.               Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets, and the Purchased Assets as owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. Buyer and Seller agree that they will treat and report for all tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets, unless otherwise prohibited by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for tax purposes.

 

i.                If an Affected Party shall at any time (without regard to whether any Basel III Regulations are then in effect) suffer or incur (i) any explicit or implicit charge, assessment, cost or expense by reason of the amount or type of assets, capital or supply of funding such Affected Party or any of its Affiliates is required or expected to maintain in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, without regard to (A) whether such charge, assessment, cost or expense is imposed or recognized internally, externally or inter-company or (B) whether it is determined in reference to a reduction in the rate of return on such Affected Party’s or Affiliate’s assets or capital, an inherent cost of the establishment or maintenance of a reserve of stable funding, a reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Party or its Affiliates or otherwise, or (ii) any other imputed cost or expense arising by reason of the actual or anticipated compliance by such Affected Party or any of its Affiliates with the Basel III Regulations, then, upon demand by or on behalf of such Affected Party, Seller shall pay to Buyer, for the benefit of such Affected Party, such amount as will, in the determination of such Affected Party, compensate such Affected Party therefor.  A certificate of the applicable Affected Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Affected Party under this Section shall be delivered to the Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

12.          Servicing and Management of Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties

 

a.      Pursuant to the Servicing Agreements, the asset management provisions of the Seller Operating Agreement and the Asset Management Agreement, Seller, Trust Subsidiary, the TRS Facility Entities and their Affiliates, respectively, have contracted with the Servicers and the Asset Manager to service and manage the Trust Mortgage

 

43











 

Loans and REO Properties, as applicable, consistent with the degree of skill and care that Seller customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans and REO properties owned or managed by it and in accordance with Servicing Guidelines.  The Seller shall, and shall cause the Servicers and the Asset Manager to (i) comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for them to perform their servicing and management responsibilities and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties or any payment thereunder.  Buyer may terminate the servicing or management of any Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties with the then-existing servicer or managers in accordance with Section 12(e) hereof.

 

b.       Seller shall and shall cause the Servicers to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by Seller and Servicers with respect to any Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties in the Servicer Custodial Accounts or other trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.

 

c.       Seller shall and shall cause each Servicer to deposit, no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, all Income received by such Servicer in respect of the Purchased Assets into the related Servicer Custodial Account; provided, however, that any such proceeds payable in connection with (i) sales of Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (other than Non-Rental REO Properties with respect to Non-Rental REO Transfers) and (ii) a Bulk Sale shall be deposited by the related Servicer directly into the Collection Account.

 

d.       Seller shall provide to Buyer a Servicer Acknowledgement and Asset Manager Acknowledgement addressed to and agreed to by each Servicer and the Asset Manager, as applicable, advising Servicers and the Asset Manager, as applicable, of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by Servicers and the Asset Manager of Buyer’s interest in such Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and each Servicer’s and the Asset Manager’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and any related Income with respect thereto.

 

e.       Upon prior written notice following the occurrence and during the continuance of (x) an Event of Default, (y) subject to the third to last sentence of this Section 12(e), a Servicer Termination Event or, (z) subject to the third to last sentence of this Section 12(e), an Asset Manager Termination Event, Buyer shall have the right to terminate or cause Seller to terminate the related Servicer’s right to service the Trust Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties or the Asset Manager’s right to manage or otherwise advise the Servicers with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties, as applicable, without payment of any penalty or termination fee under the Servicing Agreement, the Asset Management Agreement or any other related agreement, as applicable.  Upon receipt of such notice or upon resignation of any Servicer or the Asset Manager, Seller and the applicable Servicers or the Asset Manager shall cooperate in transferring the applicable servicing and management of the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the Back-up Servicer. Upon an Event of Default, Buyer shall have the

 

44











 

right to appoint such successor in its sole and absolute discretion. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon a Servicer Termination Event or an Asset Manager Termination Event Seller shall have the right to identify and appoint a successor Servicer or Asset Manager, as applicable, provided that (A) Seller identifies such successor within five (5) Business Days of the related event which successor is another Servicer or an Asset Manager approved by Buyer (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (B) Seller causes such appointed Servicer or Asset Manager to accept a servicing transfer within sixty (60) days of the related event. If Seller does not satisfy clauses (A) and (B) of the proceeding sentence, Buyer shall have the right to appoint such successor in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as Seller provides to Buyer written notice of such transfer and all related documentation and information reasonably requested by Buyer, no later than sixty (60) days prior to such transfer, the asset management obligations performed by Asset Manager may be transferred to Seller or General Partner at any time which transfers Buyer approves in all respects and following such appointment, no Asset Manager Termination Event shall be deemed to exist.

 

f.       If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Seller or any entity responsible to Seller for managing or servicing any such Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Property has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

 

g.       For so long as the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties are subject to Transactions, the Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing and management of the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties; provided that the Seller shall and shall cause the Servicers and the Asset Manager to continue to service and manage the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties hereunder as part of the Obligations hereunder.  As such, the Seller expressly acknowledges that the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties are indirectly transferred to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis.

 

13.          Representations and Warranties

 

a.               Each of Seller and Guarantor represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction or Purchase Price Increase Date, as applicable, that:

 

(1)           Seller and Guarantor Existence.  (A) Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware. Guarantor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland.  Trust Subsidiary is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Each TRS Facility Entity is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. (B) Each of Seller, Guarantor, Trust subsidiary and each TRS Facility Entity is in good standing in its state of organization set forth in clause (A) of this Section 13.a(1).

 

45




 









 

(2)           Licenses.  Each Seller Party 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 or such default is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Seller Party has the requisite power and authority and legal right to purchase Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as applicable) and to own, sell and grant a lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, 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.

 

(3)           Power.  Each Seller Party 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 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 each Seller Party, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against such Seller Party 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.  The Guarantor has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of the financial statements and information included in Guarantor’s S-11 filing made on February 3, 2014. All such financial statements and information are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations as of the dates and periods set forth therein, 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.  Since the date of such statements, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations, financial condition or properties of the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Guarantor aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse change.  The Guarantor has, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this Section 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 Guarantor except as heretofore disclosed to Buyer in writing.

 

46











 

(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 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 intends to incur, and does not believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and is 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 Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Assets.  Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.  Each transfer of REO Property to the Trust Subsidiary or TRS Facility Entity constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such REO Property.  Each transfer of Trust Mortgage Loans to the Trust Subsidiary constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Trust Mortgage Loan.

 

(8)           No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Seller Party of each Program Agreement to which it is a party (i) does not conflict with any term or provision of the formation documents, by-laws or other governing documents of each Seller Party or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to each Seller Party of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over each Seller Party, which conflict could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which each Seller Party is a party; provided, however that the representation set forth in this clause (ii) shall only be deemed to be breached with respect to the Guarantor to the extent such violation could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(9)           True and Correct Disclosure.  All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of each Seller Party or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of the Seller Parties or officer thereof and negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements are true and correct in all material respects 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

 

47











 

under applicable law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by each Seller Party of each Program Agreement to which it is a party (other than consents, approvals and filings that have been obtained or made, as applicable, or that, if not obtained or made, are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect).

 

(11)         Litigation.  There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which either the Seller or Guarantor has received service of process or, to the best of Seller’s or 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 any Program Agreement, (C) (i) with respect to the Trust Subsidiary and each TRS Facility Entity, making a claim in an aggregate amount greater than $2,500,000, (ii) with respect to the Seller, making a claim in an aggregate amount greater than $5,000,000 or (iii) with respect to the Guarantor, making a claim or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (D) which requires filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder or (E) which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the validity of the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans, REO Properties or the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of any Program Agreement.

 

(12)         Trust Subsidiary and TRS Facility Entities.

 

(a)           None of the Trust Subsidiary or any TRS Facility Entity is in violation of any applicable Requirement of Law, order writ, injunction or decree to which the Trust Subsidiary or such TRS Facility Entity is subject or bound.

 

(b)           Except as disclosed by Seller to Buyer in writing, there are no judgments currently in effect or outstanding against the Trust Subsidiary or any TRS Facility Entity and none of the Trust Subsidiary or any TRS Facility Entity has any existing contingent or actual obligations not relating to the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties owned by the Trust Subsidiary or such TRS Facility Entity, as applicable.

 

(c)           There is no, nor has there ever been, any action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, summons or governmental investigation pending or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, threatened against the Trust Subsidiary or any TRS Facility Entity which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d)           There are no delinquent or unpaid Taxes affecting the Trust Subsidiary or any TRS Facility Entity or the Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, as applicable, owned by the Trust Subsidiary or such TRS Facility Entity, except for any such Taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided.

 

48











 

(e)           Each of Trust Subsidiary and TRS Facility Entity (i) does not own any asset or property other than the applicable Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, (ii) has not owned any asset or property other than Mortgage Loans and REO properties and (iii) has not engaged in any business other than the ownership and operation of such assets and the related activities.

 

(f)            (i) Since its formation, the Trust Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with the provisions of its trust agreement (in the case of the initial Trust Subsidiary, the Trust Agreement) and, after the Effective Date, the Trust Subsidiary will continue to comply in all materials respects therewith and (ii) since its formation Seller has caused each TRS Facility Entity to comply in all material respects with its TRS Facility Entity Documents and, after the Effective Date, the TRS Trust Subsidiary will continue to comply in all materials respects therewith.

 

(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 the Custodian’s receipt of the related Request for Certification, Buyer shall become the sole owner of the Purchased Assets and related Repurchase Assets, (b) transfer of each REO Property to the Trust Subsidiary or a TRS Facility Entity, the Trust Subsidiary or such TRS Facility Entity, as applicable, shall become the sole owner of the REO Properties and (c) transfer of each Trust Mortgage Loan to the Trust Subsidiary, the Trust Subsidiary shall become the sole owner of the Trust Mortgage Loans, in each instance free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those created pursuant to this Agreement or the other Program Agreements.

 

(14)         Reserved.

 

(15)         Taxes.  Each Seller Party has timely filed all tax returns that are required to be filed by them (taking into account any applicable extensions) and have paid all Taxes due and payable (whether or not shown on such returns), except for any such Taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Seller Party in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, adequate.

 

(16)         Investment Company.  No Seller Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(17)         Chief Executive Office; Jurisdiction of Organization.  On the Effective Date, Seller’s chief executive office, is, and has been, located at 1999 Harrison Street, 24th Floor, Oakland, California 94612, Phone: (510) 985-9002, Facsimile: (510) 335-1093 Attention: Nina Tran, Chief Financial Officer.

During the preceding five years, Seller has not been known by or done business under any other name, corporate or fictitious, and has not filed or had filed against it any bankruptcy receivership or similar petitions nor has it made any assignments for the benefit of creditors.

 

(18)         Location of Books and Records.  The location where Seller keeps its books and records, including all computer tapes and records relating to the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans, REO Properties and the related Repurchase Assets is its chief executive office.

No Seller Party or any Subsidiary of a Seller Party is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, instrument, or indenture which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No holder of any indebtedness of any Seller Party of its Subsidiaries has given notice of any asserted default thereunder which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(23)         Other Indebtedness.  All Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement) of Seller in excess of $5,000,000 existing on the date hereof is listed on Exhibit F hereto (the “Existing Indebtedness”).

 

(24)         No Reliance.  Each of Seller (including for the Trust Subsidiary) and Guarantor has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Program Agreements and each Transaction or Purchase Price Increase, as applicable, and as to whether such Transaction or Purchase Price Increase, as applicable, is appropriate and

 

50











 

proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary.  Neither Seller nor Guarantor is relying upon any advice from Buyer as to any aspect of the Transactions or Purchase Price Increases, as applicable, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions or Purchase Price Increases, as applicable.

 

(25)         Plan Assets.  Neither Seller nor Guarantor is an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “plan” described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the Purchased Assets are not “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 CFR §2510.3-101 as amended by Section 3(42) of ERISA, and transactions by or with Seller or Guarantor are not subject to any state or local statute regulating investments or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans (within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA) that would be violated by the transactions contemplated hereunder.

 

(26)         No Prohibited Persons.  Neither the Seller nor Guarantor nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any of their Affiliates, officers, directors, partners or members, is an entity or person (or to the Seller’s or Guarantor’s knowledge, owned or controlled by an entity or person): (i) that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of Executive Order 13224 issued on September 24, 2001 (“EO13224”); (ii) whose name appears on the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) most current list of “Specifically Designated National and Blocked Persons” (which list may be published from time to time in various mediums including, but not limited to, the OFAC website, http:www.treas.gov/ofac/t11sdn.pdf); (iii) who commits, threatens to commit or supports “terrorism”, as that term is defined in EO13224; or (iv) who is otherwise affiliated with any entity or person listed above (any and all parties or persons described in clauses (i) through (iv) above are herein referred to as a “Prohibited Person”).

 

(27)         Servicing and Management.  Seller has adequate financial standing or, through each Servicing Agreement with a Servicer and the Asset Management Agreement with the Asset Manager, has access to servicing facilities, procedures and experienced personnel, in either case, necessary for the sound servicing of mortgage loans and management of REO properties of the same types as may from time to time constitute Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

(28)         Real Estate Investment Trust.  Guarantor is a REIT.

 

b.               With respect to every Trust Mortgage Loan, REO Property and Purchased Asset, each of Seller and Guarantor represents and warrants to Buyer as of the applicable Purchase Date for any Transaction and each date thereafter that each representation and warranty set forth on Schedule 1-A, 1-B and 1-C, as applicable, is true and correct.

 

c.               The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive transfer of the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to

 

51











 

Buyer and shall continue for so long as the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties are subject to this Agreement.  Upon discovery by a Seller Party, any Servicer or Buyer of any breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, the party discovering such breach shall promptly give notice of such discovery to the others. If such breach relates to the representations and warranties referenced in Section 13(b) and is not cured within thirty (30) days of the earlier of (i) Seller’s or Guarantor’s knowledge thereof or (ii) the receipt by Seller or Guarantor of notice thereof, Buyer has the right to require, in its unreviewable discretion, Seller to repurchase by payment of the applicable Release Price within one (1) Business Day after receipt of notice from Buyer; provided, however, if such breach is reasonably susceptible of cure, but not within such thirty (30) day period, Seller shall have an additional sixty (60) days to cure such breach so long as the Seller is diligently and continuously pursuing such cure during such period.  If a Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Property is repurchased by Seller within the required time frames set forth in this Section 13.c., an Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred with respect to the related breach.

 

d.               The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of exercising its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to Section 13a.(5) above, the Buyer, in its good faith discretion, shall make the determination whether or not a material adverse change referenced in the second sentence thereof has occurred.

 

14.          Covenants

 

Each of Seller and Guarantor covenants with Buyer that, during the term of this facility:

 

a.               Litigation.  Seller and Guarantor, as applicable, will promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after service of process on any of the following, give to Buyer notice of all litigation, actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing which are threatened or pending) or other legal or arbitrable proceedings affecting any Seller Party or affecting any of the Property of any of them before any Governmental Authority that (i) questions or challenges the validity or enforceability of any of the Program Agreements or any action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) (i) with respect to the Trust Subsidiary and each TRS Facility Entity, makes a claim in an aggregate amount greater than $2,500,000, (ii) with respect to the Seller, makes a claim in an aggregate amount greater than $5,000,000 or (iii) with respect to the Guarantor makes a claim or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) which, individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Seller and Guarantor, as applicable, will promptly provide notice of any judgment, which with the passage of time, could reasonably be expected to cause an Event of Default hereunder.

 

b.               Prohibition of Fundamental Changes.  Seller shall not enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation, winding up or dissolution) or otherwise in the ordinary course of business sell all or substantially all of its assets (other than as contemplated by

 

52











 

the Program Agreements); provided, that Seller may merge or consolidate with (a) any wholly owned subsidiary of Seller, or (b) any other Person if Seller is the surviving corporation; and provided further, that if after giving effect thereto, no Default would exist hereunder.

 

c.               Servicing and Management.  Seller shall not cause the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to be serviced by any Servicer or managed by an asset manager other than a Servicer or an asset manager, as applicable, expressly approved in writing by Buyer, which approval shall be deemed granted by Buyer with respect to Seller, RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation, Statebridge Company LLC and the Asset Manager.

Buyer shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to Seller and Guarantor of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

 

b.                                            If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased 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 Buyer and applied, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder and any remainder shall be paid to Seller, and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer the Asset Files relating to any Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control.

 

c.                                             Buyer also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of Seller or the Trust Subsidiary and TRS Facility Entity relating to the Purchased Assets, the Stock Interests, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets, the Stock Interests, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Stock Interests, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller, the Trust Subsidiary or any TRS Facility Entity or, except in connection with an REO Rental Transfer or an Ineligible Asset Transfer, any third party (including their Affiliates) acting for Seller.  To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties held by Custodian, Buyer shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt.  Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

d.                                            Buyer shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing, or managers then managing, any Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to remit all collections thereon to Buyer, and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer.  Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing, or managers then managing, any Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties with or without cause.  In addition, Buyer shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Assets, cause the Trust Subsidiary or applicable TRS Facility Entity, to sell the REO Properties, cause the Trust Subsidiary to sell the Trust Mortgage Loans and liquidate all Repurchase Assets.  Such disposition of Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties may be, at Buyer’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis.  Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties with respect to any such disposition thereof.  Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties.  The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof.  Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets, cause the disposition of REO Properties and Trust Mortgage Loans 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, Trust Mortgage Loans, REO Properties or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and Seller of assets.  Buyer shall be entitled to place the Purchased Assets or cause the placement of the REO Properties and Trust Mortgage Loans 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.  Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties individually for the prevailing price. Buyer shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets or causing the sale of all or a portion of such REO Properties and Trust Mortgage Loans, to give the Seller credit for such Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder.

 

e.                                             Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Buyer 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 Buyer deems appropriate in its sole discretion until all Obligations are paid in full, and shall pay any remainder to Seller.

 

f.                                              Seller recognizes that the market for the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties may not be liquid and as a result it may not be possible for Buyer 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.  Seller further recognizes that Buyer may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets that are Trust

 

63











 

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 Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Properties, Seller agrees that liquidation of any Purchased Asset, Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Property may be conducted in a private sale and at such price as Buyer may deem commercially reasonable.  Buyer shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of any Purchased Assets that are the Trust Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the Seller to register the Trust Interests for public sale under the 1934 Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Seller would agree to do so.

 

g.                                             Seller 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 Trust 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 Seller shall have no obligation to register the Trust Interests for public sale under the 1934 Act.  Seller further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Buyer, that Buyer has 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, and Seller 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.

 

h.                                            Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel 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.

 

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

 

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

 

64











 

k.                                            Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer 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.  All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

 

l.                                                Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process.  Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any other election of remedies.  Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

 

m.                                        Buyer shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence with respect to Seller Parties and the Purchased Assets, Stock Interests, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, which review shall be at the expense of Seller.

 

17.                               Reports

 

a.                                            Default Notices.  Seller and Guarantor shall each furnish to Buyer and Trustee (i) immediately, notice of the occurrence of any (A) Event of Default hereunder, (B) material default or breach by a Seller Party, a Servicer or the Asset Manager of any obligation under any Program Agreement or any material contract or agreement of a Seller Party, a Servicer or the Asset Manager 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, and (ii) promptly, but in no event later than the Business Day after obtaining actual knowledge of such event, solely with respect to the Seller, 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 hereunder.

(3)                                 at the time the Seller and Guarantor furnishes each set of financial statements pursuant to Section 17.b(1) or (2) above, an Officer’s Compliance Certificate of a Responsible Officer of Seller and Guarantor in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Pricing Side Letter;

Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Section 4 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 7 hereof.  In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or its interests in the REO Properties and Trust Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets or its interests in the Trust Mortgage Loan or REO Properties, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer’s

Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

 

20.                               Notices and Other Communications

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 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

 

The Program Agreements are not assignable by Seller or Guarantor.  Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements with Seller’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such consent shall not be required if Buyer assigns its rights and obligations (i) to an Affiliate (that is not an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” as defined by and subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of either of the foregoing, that would cause Seller to incur any prohibited transaction excise tax penalties under Section 4975 of the Code) of Buyer, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (iii) after the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Event (so long as the related assignee is not an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” as defined by and subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of either of the foregoing, that would cause Seller to incur any prohibited transaction excise tax penalties under Section 4975 of the Code); provided, further that in no event shall an assignment to an Affiliate of Buyer prior to an Event of Default cause any amount payable by Seller under Sections 5, 11.b, 11.e, 11.f or 11.i to be greater than such amounts that would be payable if Deutsche Bank AG, Cayman Islands Branch was the Buyer and provided, further, however that Buyer shall maintain as agent of Seller, for review by Seller upon written request, a copy of each executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Buyer and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of the applicable rights and obligations and no transfer or assignment shall be effective until duly noted in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon such assignment, (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 Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of Buyer which does not hold ERISA “plan assets” and assumes the obligations of Buyer or (ii) another Person approved by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) which assumes the obligations of Buyer, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements.  Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing.  Buyer may distribute to any permitted assignee any document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

 

23.                               Set-off

 

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Buyer hereunder and by law, the Buyer shall have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Seller or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by the Seller and Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from the Seller or the Guarantor to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Seller or the Guarantor.  The Buyer agrees promptly to notify the Seller or Guarantor after any such set off and application made by the 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.  Seller acknowledges that the obligations of Buyer hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Buyer.  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.

 

72











 

b.                                            SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.  SELLER AND 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.  SELLER AND 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.

 

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 intend that each Transaction be a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(i) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), 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.  The parties intend that each Transaction is a “repurchase transaction” or “reverse repurchase transaction” on “interests” in “mortgage loans” (as such terms are used in section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code) and on a “security” (as such term is defined in section 101(49) of the Bankruptcy Code).

 

b.                                      The parties further intend that (i) Buyer be entitled to, without limitation, the liquidation, termination, acceleration, netting, set-off, and non-avoidability rights afforded to parties such as Buyer to “repurchase agreements” pursuant to Sections 559, 362(b)(7) and 546(f) of the Bankruptcy Code; “securities contracts” pursuant to Sections 555, 362(b)(6) and 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code; and “master netting agreements”

 

73











 

pursuant to Sections 561, 362(b)(27) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Property 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 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 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto intend that each Transaction constitutes a purchase and a true sale and not a secured financing.

 

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.

 

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

 

74











 

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.

 

28.                               Power of Attorney

 

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate.  Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer 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 Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact.  This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28.  In addition the foregoing, the Seller agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof.  Seller shall cause each of the Trust Subsidiary and each TRS Facility Entity to execute a Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit D-2 attached hereto.  Buyer shall not take any action pursuant to the foregoing Powers of Attorneys unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

29.                               Buyer May Act Through Affiliates

 

Buyer may, from time to time, designate one or more Affiliates for the purpose of performing any action hereunder.

 

30.                               Indemnification; Obligations

 

a.                                            Each of Seller and Guarantor agrees to hold Buyer and each of its 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, Purchase Price Increase Request, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each of Seller and Guarantor also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein, any Transaction Request, Purchase Price Increase Request, and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.  Seller’s and Guarantor’s agreements in this Section 30 shall

 

75












 

survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement.  Each of Seller and Guarantor hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and the Guarantor and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans or REO Property.  Each of Seller and the Guarantor also agrees not to assert any claim against 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.  This Section 30.a shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim and in no event shall this Section 30.a cover any Excluded Taxes.

 

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 Seller other than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 16, Seller shall, upon demand by Buyer, pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to compensate Buyer for any losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as of a result of such payment.

 

c.                                             Without limiting the provisions of Section 30.a hereof, if Seller fails 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 Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion.

 

31.                               Counterparts

 

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (which may be delivered electronically), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

32.                               Confidentiality

 

a.                                            This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to the parties hereto and shall be held by the parties hereto in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of the other parties except for (i) disclosure to such party’s 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 or any rules or actions of a stock exchange.  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

 

76











 

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 parties may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to the other parties or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Non-Utilization Fee, Purchase Price Percentage, Purchase Price and other pricing terms or fees contained in or payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Pricing Side Letter or any other Program Agreement) 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 other parties. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary or any disclosure requirements contained in agreements that Seller, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates have entered into with third parties (1) the Pricing Side Letter and its terms may not be disclosed to any Person without the prior written consent of the Buyer except to the extent required by applicable law, which such consent may be withheld for any reason and (2) Buyer may disclose general information relating to this Agreement, the Pricing Side Letter and the transactions contemplated herein and therein to third parties that are customers, or potential customers, of Buyer or its Affiliates through customary methods used to market lending and underwriting services including, but not limited to, through pitch books, presentations and other similar means of marketing; provided, that each such third party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same standard to which the Buyer is held by this Section 32.

 

b.                                            Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties hereto 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, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”).  Each of the parties 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 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 of the parties 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 each other party or any Affiliate of such other party which such 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 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 party will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow the other party to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section.  Without limitation, this may include the other party’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of such party.  Each party shall

 

77











 

notify the other parties immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of such other party or any Affiliate of such other party provided directly to such party by the other party or such Affiliate.  Each party shall provide such notice to the other parties 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

 

Buyer, Seller and Guarantor 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.  Buyer, Seller and Guarantor 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.                               Periodic Due Diligence Review

 

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews (including Title Inquiries) with respect to the Seller, Trust Subsidiary, TRS Facility Entities and the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, 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, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than ten (10) Business Day’s) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Buyer or its 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, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (including, without limitation, quality control review) in the possession or under the control of Seller, Trust Subsidiary, a Servicer, the Asset Manager and/or the Custodian; provided that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such examination and inspections shall be limited to one occurrence per calendar year.  Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties purchased in a Transaction or Purchase Price Increase. Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller any Current Property Value that Buyer obtains pursuant to this Section 34. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the possession, or under

 

78











 

the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 34; provided, however, that Buyer shall be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with Buyer obtaining Current Property Values, new credit reports and new appraisals, conducting lien searches on REO Properties and conducting property inspections, on the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to determine the Asset Value of such Purchased Assets, Trust Mortgage Loans and REO Properties outside the scope of this Agreement.

 

35.                               Authorizations

 

Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 2 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller or Buyer to the extent set forth therein, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

 

36.                               Acknowledgement of Anti-Predatory Lending Policies

 

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

 

37.                               Documents Mutually Drafted

 

The Seller and the Buyer 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.

For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

SCHEDULE 1-A

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO TRUST MORTGAGE LOANS

 

The Seller makes the following representations and warranties to the Buyer, with respect to the Trust Mortgage Loans owned by the Trust Subsidiary, as of the initial Purchase Date and each Purchase Price Increase Date for such Trust Mortgage Loans and as of any date on which any Transaction hereunder relating to the Trust Mortgage Loans is outstanding subject to any exceptions agreed to by Buyer.

 

(a)                                 [Reserved].

 

(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.  All funds advanced by a servicer for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan have been satisfied and reimbursed in full.

 

(c)                                  Original Terms Unmodified.  Other than with respect to Modified Mortgage Loans, 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 Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Custodian and 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, 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.

 

(e)                                  Hazard Insurance.  The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a generally acceptable insurance carrier, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Trust Subsidiary as of the date of acquisition, 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 lesser of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan.  If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal

 

Schedule 1-A-1











 

Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is reasonably 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 lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the related BPO price.  All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Trust Subsidiary, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee.  No such notice has been received by Trust Subsidiary.  All premiums that have become due on such insurance policy have been paid.  The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor.  Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering the common facilities of a planned unit development.  The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer and is in full force and effect.  Neither Seller nor Trust Subsidiary 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 Seller or Trust Subsidiary.

 

(f)                                   Environmental Compliance.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, as of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in material compliance with all applicable environmental laws pertaining to environmental hazards including, without limitation, asbestos. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there does not exist on the Mortgaged Property any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other applicable federal, state or local environmental laws including, without limitation, asbestos, in each case in excess of the permitted limits and allowances set forth in such environmental laws to the extent such laws are applicable to the Mortgaged Property.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any applicable environmental law (including, without limitation, asbestos), rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property.

 

(g)                                  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, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations.

 

Schedule 1-A-2











 

(h)                                 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.  Trust Subsidiary has not 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 Trust Subsidiary waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

 

(i)                                     Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgaged Property is located in the state 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, condominium, or an individual cooperative unit in a low-rise Co-op Project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, or a manufactured dwelling; provided, however, that any condominium unit, Co-op Unit or planned unit development conforms with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings and that no residence or dwelling is a manufactured home or a mobile home.  To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, no portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes.

 

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

 

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 the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions generally;

 

c.                                       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 or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

 

Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Trust Subsidiary has full right to pledge and assign the same to Buyer.

 

(k)                                 Validity of Mortgage Documents.  The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may

 

Schedule 1-A-3











 

be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or (ii) general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.  No fraud, material misrepresentation, error, omission, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of Seller or the Trust Subsidiary or the related Servicer at the time of acquisition.

 

(l)                                     Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  There is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan.

 

(m)                             Ownership.  Other than as notified by Seller to Buyer in writing on or prior to the related Purchase Date, Trust Subsidiary, is the sole and lawful owner and holder of the related Mortgage Loan and has good and marketable title, free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to grant a security interest in each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(n)                                 Title Insurance.  The Mortgage is insured as a first priority lien by either an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (including endorsements and riders thereto) or other generally acceptable form of policy of title insurance acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making loans in the area where the related Mortgaged Property is located, in each case, issued by a title insurer generally acceptable to prudent mortgage lenders.

 

(o)                                 Data.  The information on the Asset Schedule required to be provided thereon pursuant to this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the date or dates on which the information is furnished as specified therein.

 

(p)                                 No Mechanics’ Liens.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage.

 

(q)                                 No Encroachments; Compliance with Zoning.  Except for Mortgage Loans secured by Co-op Shares and Mortgage Loans secured by residential long-term leases, (A) the related Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property; (B) to the best of Seller’s knowledge, all of the improvements that are included for the purpose of determining the Current Property Value of such Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach on such Mortgaged Property (unless insured against under the related title insurance policy), except in either case for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of such Mortgaged Property; and (C) to the best of Seller’s knowledge such Mortgaged Property and all improvements thereon comply with all requirements of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances, except for violations that do not materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of such Mortgaged Property.

 

(r)                                    No Litigation.  Other than any customary claim or counterclaim arising out of any foreclosure or collection proceeding relating to any Mortgaged Property, to the best of

 

Schedule 1-A-4











 

the Seller’s knowledge, there is no litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation pending, or any order, injunction or decree outstanding, existing or relating to Seller, the Trust Subsidiary or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to the Mortgaged Property that would materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(s)                                   Customary Provisions.  The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.  Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the 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 the Trust Subsidiary 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 the Trust Subsidiary, 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 the Trust Subsidiary, Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage.

 

(t)                                    Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there exists no condition relating to the related Mortgaged Property that would make such Mortgaged Property uninhabitable in accordance with applicable laws.

 

(u)                                 No Additional Collateral.  The Mortgage Note is not secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in clause (j) above.

 

(v)                                 Deeds of Trust.  In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Custodian or Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a sale or release of the Mortgaged Property after default by the Mortgagor.

(x)                                 Due-On-Sale.  Except with respect to Mortgage Loans intended for purchase by GNMA, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder.

 

Schedule 1-A-5











 

(y)                                 [Reserved].

 

(z)                                  [Reserved].

 

(aa)                          No Condemnation Proceeding; No Damage.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending, or threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of the related property.  To the Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is undamaged by water, waste, fire, earthquake, earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado, defective construction materials or work, or similar casualty, which would cause such Mortgaged Property to become uninhabitable.

 

(bb)                          Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments.  The servicing and collection practices used by each Servicer following the acquisition by Trust Subsidiary of the Mortgage Loan with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper.  With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Trust Subsidiary.

 

(cc)                            Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.  The Mortgagor has not notified Trust Subsidiary, and Trust Subsidiary has no knowledge, of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act of 2003.

 

(dd)                          No Defense to Insurance Coverage.  To the best of Seller’s knowledge, no action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Purchase Date (whether or not known to Trust Subsidiary on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of Trust Subsidiary, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial inability to pay.

 

(ee)                            No Equity Participation.  The Mortgage Loan does not provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property or a sharing in the appreciation of the value of the Mortgaged Property.  The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor and Trust Subsidiary has not financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor.

 

(ff)                              No Exception.  The Custodian has not noted any material exceptions on a Custodial Asset Schedule with respect to the Mortgage Loan which would materially adversely affect the Mortgage Loan or Buyer’s interest in the Mortgage Loan.

 

Schedule 1-A-6











 

(gg)                            No Defaults by Seller.  There are no defaults by the Seller or, to the Seller’s knowledge, the related Servicer or any prior originator or servicer in complying with the terms of the related Mortgage, except any such defaults the occurrence of which, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of the related Trust Mortgage Loan or the enforcement of the related Mortgage.

 

(hh)                          [Reserved].

 

(ii)                                  Located in U.S.  No collateral (including, without limitation, the related real property and the dwellings thereon and otherwise) relating to a Trust Mortgage Loan is located in any jurisdiction other than in one of the fifty (50) states of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or a territory of the United States.

 

(jj)                                Tax Service.  If the Mortgage Loan is a Performing Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan is, within sixty (60) days of the related Purchase Date, covered by a life of loan, transferrable real estate tax service contract that may be assigned to Buyer.

 

(kk)                          Predatory Lending Regulations; Usury; High Cost Loans.  The Mortgage Loans meet or are exempt from applicable federal, state or local laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.  No mortgage loan is a “high-cost” loan, “covered” loan or any other similarly designated loan as defined under any applicable federal, state or local predatory and abusive lending laws.

 

(ll)                                  FHA Mortgage Insurance; VA Loan Guaranty.  With respect to the FHA Loans (for the avoidance of doubt excluding any Mortgage Loans, with respect to which the FHA Mortgage Insurance has been removed), the FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract is or eligible to be in full force and effect and there exists no impairment to full recovery without indemnity to the Department of Housing and Urban Development or the FHA under FHA Mortgage Insurance.  With respect to the VA Loans, the VA Loan Guaranty Agreement is in full force and effect to the maximum extent stated therein.  All necessary steps have been taken to keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable and each of such is the binding, valid and enforceable obligation of the FHA and the VA, respectively, to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense.  Each FHA Loan and VA Loan was originated in accordance with the criteria of an Agency for purchase of such Mortgage Loans.

 

(mm)                  Co-op Loan: Valid First Lien.  With respect to each Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, enforceable and subsisting first security interest on the related cooperative shares securing the related cooperative note and lease, subject only to (a) liens of the cooperative for unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the security interest.  There are no liens against or security interests in the cooperative shares relating to each Co-op Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments and other amounts owed to the related cooperative which individually or in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Co-op Loan), which have priority equal to or over Seller’s security interest in such Co-op Shares.

 

Schedule 1-A-7











 

(nn)                          Co-op Loan: Compliance with Law.  With respect to each Co-op Loan, the related cooperative corporation that owns title to the related cooperative apartment building is a “cooperative housing corporation” within the meaning of Section 216 of the Internal Revenue Code, and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, is in material compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws which, if not complied with, could have a material adverse effect on the Mortgaged Property.

 

(oo)                          Co-op Loan: No Pledge.  With respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no prohibition against pledging the shares of the cooperative corporation or assigning the Proprietary Lease. With respect to each Co-op Loan, (i) the term of the related Proprietary Lease is longer than the term of the Co-op Loan, (ii) there is no provision in any Proprietary Lease which requires the Mortgagor to offer for sale the Co-op Shares owned by such Mortgagor first to the Co-op Corporation, (iii) there is no prohibition in any Proprietary Lease against pledging the Co-op Shares or assigning the Proprietary Lease and (iv) the Recognition Agreement is on a form of agreement published by Aztech Document Systems, Inc. as of the date hereof or includes provisions which are no less favorable to the lender than those contained in such agreement.

 

(pp)                          Co-op Loan: Acceleration of Payment.  With respect to each Co-op Loan, each Assignment of Proprietary Lease contains enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization of the material benefits of the security provided thereby.  The Assignment of Proprietary Lease contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Note in the event the Co-op Unit is transferred or sold without the consent of the holder thereof.

 

(qq)                          No Bankruptcy.  As of the initial Purchase Date, except as otherwise disclosed on the Asset Schedule, , to the best of Seller’s knowledge, no Mortgage Loan is subject to any pending bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

(rr)                                Asset File.  Except as set forth on the related exception report delivered by the Custodian on the related Purchase Date, all documents required to be delivered as part of the Asset File, have been delivered to the Custodian or held by an attorney in connection with a foreclosure pursuant to an Attorney Bailee Letter and all information contained in the related Asset File (or as otherwise provided to Buyer) in respect of such Trust Mortgage Loan is true and accurate in all material respects; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the fact that the Trust Mortgage Loans set forth on Exhibit I hereto (the “Delayed Diligence Assets”) are included in such exception report on the Effective Date, the Seller will be in breach of this representation and warranty with respect to the Delayed Diligence Assets if all related exceptions are not cleared from such exception report on the 30th day following the Effective Date.

 

(ss)                              Previously Financed Trust Mortgage Loans. The Trust Mortgage Loan shall not have been a Trust Mortgage Loan which has previously been included as collateral (directly or indirectly, through an assignment of related equity or otherwise) under any other financing arrangement sponsored by the Guarantor, the Seller or their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries and removed therefrom as a result of a breach of the eligibility criteria thereunder; provided, however that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any Trust Mortgage Loan that has been removed from such a financing arrangement if the reason for such removal was solely that such Trust Mortgage Loan breached a concentration limit contained therein and

 

Schedule 1-A-8

Part 1026.

 

Schedule 1-A-9












 

SCHEDULE 1-B

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO REO PROPERTIES

 

The Seller makes the following representations and warranties to the Buyer, with respect to the REO Property owned by the Trust Subsidiary or a Trust Facility Entity, as of the initial Purchase Date and each Purchase Price Increase Date for each REO Property and as of any date on which Transaction hereunder relating to the REO Property is outstanding subject to any exceptions agreed to by Buyer.

 

(a)         Asset File.  Except as set forth on the related exception report delivered by the Custodian on the related Purchase Date, all documents required to be delivered as part of the Asset File, have been delivered to the Custodian (or solely with respect to REO Property that was a Trust Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction under the Agreement within fifteen (15) Business Days of such REO Property being acquired by the Trust Subsidiary or the applicable TRS Facility Entity) or held by an attorney in connection with a foreclosure pursuant to an Attorney Bailee Letter and all information contained in the related Asset File (or as otherwise provided to Buyer) in respect of each REO Property is true and accurate in all material respects.

 

(b)         Ownership.  Other than as notified by Seller to Buyer in writing on or prior to the related Purchase Date, Trust Subsidiary or the applicable TRS Facility Entity, is the sole and lawful owner and holder of the related REO Property and has good and marketable title, free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to grant a security interest in each REO Property pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(c)          REO Property as Described.  The information set forth in the Asset Schedule required to be provided thereon pursuant to the Custodial Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the date or dates on which the information is furnished as specified therein.

 

(d)         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 which previously became due and owing have been paid.

 

(e)          No Litigation.  Other than any customary claim or counterclaim arising out of any foreclosure or collection proceeding relating to any REO Property, there is no litigation, proceeding or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, governmental investigation pending, or any order, injunction or decree outstanding, existing or relating to Seller, the Trust Subsidiary, the applicable TRS Facility Entity or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to the REO Property that would materially and adversely affect the value of the REO Property.

 

(f)           Hazard Insurance.  All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the REO Property are insured by an insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended

 

Schedule 1-B-1











 

coverage and such other hazards in an amount not less than 100% of the replacement cost of such improvements.

 

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

 

(h)         Property Management. The ownership, leasing, management and collection practices used by the related Servicer and any sub-contract managers with respect to the REO Properties have been in all material respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the residential ownership, leasing, and property management business, and are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements, and all necessary licenses, permits and regulatory requirements pertaining thereto have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent it does not have and would not be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the value, use, leasing or marketability of such REO Property or result in any liability to, claim against or obligation of Buyer or material liability or obligation on the part of Seller or Guarantor.

 

(i)             No Mechanics’ Liens.  To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material affecting the related REO Property.

 

(j)            No Damage.  To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, the REO 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 REO Property to become uninhabitable.

 

(k)         No Condemnation.  To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending, or threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of the REO Property.

 

(l)             Environmental Matters.  To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the REO Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue or is secured by a secured lender’s environmental insurance policy.

 

(m)     Location and Type of REO Property.  Each REO Property is located in the U.S. or a territory of the U.S. and consists of a one- to four-unit residential property, which may include, but is not limited to, a single-family dwelling, townhouse, condominium unit, or unit in a planned unit development.  No REO Property is a manufactured home.

 

(n)         Eviction. Any eviction proceeding relating to a REO Property has been properly commenced and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no valid defense or counterclaim that if properly raised by anyone with respect thereto would defeat or otherwise materially obstruct the related eviction.

 

Schedule 1-B-2











 

(o)         Illegal Activity; Compliance with Requirements of Law.  No portion of any REO Property has been or will be purchased by the Seller, the Trust Subsidiary, a TRS Facility Entity or any Affiliate thereof with proceeds of any illegal activity.  Each REO Property (including the leasing and intended use thereof) complies with all applicable Requirements of Law and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge and, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there exists no condition relating to such REO Property that would make such REO Property uninhabitable in accordance with applicable laws. 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 REO Property that has not been obtained, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value, use, occupation, leasing or marketability of such REO Property or to result in any liability to, claim against or obligation of Buyer or material liability or obligation on the part of the Seller Parties. There has not been committed by the Seller Parties, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation, use or leasing of the REO Property any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the REO Property or any part thereof.

 

(p)         Previously Financed REO Properties.  The REO Property is not a REO Property which has previously been included as collateral (directly or indirectly, through an assignment of related equity or otherwise) under any other financing arrangement sponsored by the Guarantor, the Seller or their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries and removed therefrom as a result of a breach of the eligibility criteria thereunder; provided, however that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any REO Property that has been removed from such a financing arrangement if the reason for such removal was solely that such REO Property breached a concentration limit contained therein and such REO Property was otherwise in compliance with the representations and warranties of such financing arrangement.

 

(q)         Title Insurance and Deed.  With respect to any REO Property, the Asset File for such REO Property includes a genuine deed for such REO Property, which constitutes the legal, valid and binding conveyance of such REO Property in fee simple to the Trust Subsidiary or the applicable TRS Facility Entity (an “REO Vesting Deed”), with vesting in the actual name of the Trust Subsidiary or the applicable TRS Facility Entity with a certification from a Responsible Officer that such REO Property’s deed has been recorded; it being understood that with respect to an REO Property that was previously a Trust Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction under the Agreement, so long as such REO Vesting Deed is included in the Asset File within 30 days of the conversion or a foreclosure of such Trust Mortgage Loan, or deed-in lieu thereof, then the failure to include such REO Vesting Deed shall not constitute a breach of this representation and warranty.

 

(r)            Utilities and Public Access.  To the Seller’s knowledge, the REO Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the REO Property for its intended uses and all public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the REO Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting the REO Property (which are connected so as to serve the REO Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the REO Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the applicable title insurance policy and all roads necessary for the use of the REO Property for its intended purposes have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities, except as

 

Schedule 1-B-3











 

would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value, use, occupation, leasing or marketability of such REO Property or to result in any liability to, claim against or obligation of Buyer or material liability or obligation on the part of the Seller Parties.

 

Schedule 1-B-4
