Mortgage Loan) for such Purchased Mortgage Loan for a Transaction (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may, by delivery of written notice to Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York Time) on any Business Day (an “Excess Margin Notice”), request that Administrative Agent reallocate the Purchase Price of Purchased Mortgage Loans with such Margin Excess in order to facilitate the release of other Purchased Mortgage Loans which, following such reallocation, will have a Purchase Price of zero. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to remit Margin Excess or release Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to the above to the extent (A) it would cause the outstanding Purchase Price to exceed the Maximum Committed Purchase Price; (B) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after such action by Administrative Agent; (C) such action would be inconsistent with Administrative Agent’s determination of Asset Value in accordance with this Agreement; or (D) such action would cause a Margin Deficit.

7.    Income Payments
a.    All Income received on account of the Purchased Mortgage Loans during the term of a Transaction shall be the property of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers. Seller shall and shall cause the applicable Servicer to deposit all Income received with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each Servicer shall be entitled to retain amounts to which it is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreement. In order to secure its obligations hereunder, Seller hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Buyers a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Collection Account, as more fully set forth in the Account Agreement.
b.    On each Price Differential Payment Date, Administrative Agent shall, or shall direct the Bank to remit amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as follows:
(1)    first, to the payment of all costs and fees payable by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
(2)    second, to the Administrative Agent in payment of any accrued and unpaid Price Differential;
(3)    third, without limiting the rights of Administrative Agent under Section 6 of this Agreement, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers, in the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit; and
(4)    fourth, to Seller, any remaining amounts.
c.    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 7, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or on the Termination Date all Income shall be remitted to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Buyers for application to the Obligations as Administrative Agent deems appropriate.

8.    Security Interest 
a.    On each Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the Purchased Mortgage Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Repurchase Assets to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, any Agency Security or right to receive such Agency Security when issued to the extent backed by any of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, the Records, and all related Servicing Rights, the Program Agreements (to the extent such Program Agreements and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Mortgage Loans), any related Take-out Commitments, any Property relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance, hazard insurance and FHA Mortgage Insurance Contracts and VA Loan Guaranty Agreements (if any), Income, the Collection Account, Interest Rate Protection Agreements, accounts (including any interest of Seller 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, in each case, relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in the Purchased Mortgage Loans, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions with respect to any of the foregoing and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Transaction Notice and/or Trust Receipt, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).
b.    The Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that the Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.
c.    Seller agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Administrative Agent’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, the Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file financing statements relating to the Repurchase Assets, as Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem appropriate. The Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 8.

Any Repurchase Price received by Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day.
b.    All Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be evidenced by a Trust Receipt, provided that, in accordance with the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement, a single end-of-day Trust Receipt with a Mortgage Loan Schedule attached shall be delivered, which Trust Receipt and Mortgage Loan Schedule shall reflect the cumulative activity in respect of such Business Day (it being understood that no Trust Receipts shall be delivered on an intraday basis). In connection with each Transaction during the course of a Business Day, the Custodian shall provide a Notice of Intent to Issue Trust Receipt as provided in the Custodial and Disbursement Agreement.

a.    Seller shall reimburse Administrative Agent and Buyers for any of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including due diligence review costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers in determining the acceptability to Administrative Agent and Buyers of any Mortgage Loans; provided that diligence may only be performed by Administrative Agent and Buyers on a sample of up to two-hundred (200) Mortgage Loans per fiscal quarter. Seller shall also pay, or reimburse Administrative Agent and Buyers if Administrative Agent or Buyers shall pay, any termination fee, which may be due any Servicer.

- 29 -









any other Program Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall pay all fees as and when required under the Pricing Side Letter.
b.    If any Buyer determines, in good faith, that, due to the introduction of, any change in, or the compliance by such Buyer with (i) any Eurocurrency reserve requirement or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be an increase in the cost to such Buyer in engaging in the present or any future Transactions, then Seller agrees to pay to such Buyer, from time to time, upon demand by such Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the actual cost of additional amounts as specified by such Buyer to compensate such Buyer for such increased costs.
c.    With respect to any Transaction, Administrative Agent and Buyers may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any request or other communication that Administrative Agent and Buyers reasonably believe to have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a Transaction on Seller’s behalf.

Notwithstanding the assignment of the Program Agreements with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers, Seller agrees and covenants with Administrative Agent and Buyers to enforce diligently Seller’s rights and remedies set forth in the Program Agreements.
e.    (i)  Any payments made by Seller to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or a Buyer assignee or participant hereunder or any Program Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If Seller shall be required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct or withhold any Tax from any sums payable to Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant, then (i) the Seller shall make such deductions or withholdings and pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; (ii) to the extent the withheld or deducted Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 11.e) Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; and (iii) the Seller shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount paid and shall provide the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment within ten (10) days thereafter. Seller shall otherwise indemnify Administrative Agent and such Buyer, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on Administrative Agent or such Buyer (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 11.e) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.


- 30 -









(ii)     Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and Buyer assignee and participant to deliver to the Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as will permit payments made hereunder to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Administrative Agent shall cause each Buyer and Buyer assignee and participant, if reasonably requested by Seller, to deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller as will enable the Seller to determine whether or not such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation in Section 11.e(ii) (A) , (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in the Buyer’s or any Buyer’s assignee’s or participant’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall cause a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant to deliver to the Seller, to the extent legally entitled to do so:
(A) in the case of a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant which is a “U.S. Person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, a properly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)     in the case of a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant which is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Code section 7701(a)(30): (I) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BENE-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, evidencing entitlement to a zero percent or reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax withholding on any payments made hereunder, (II) in the case of such non-U.S. Person claiming exemption from the withholding of U.S. federal income tax under Code sections 871(h) or 881(c) with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a duly executed certificate (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) to the effect that such non-U.S. Person is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller or affiliate thereof, within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(B), or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Code section 881(c)(3)(C), (III) to the extent such non-U.S. person is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such non-U.S. person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such non-U.S. person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such non-U.S. person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, and (IV) executed originals of any other form or supplementary documentation prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.


- 31 -









(C)     if a payment made to a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or assignee or participant were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Administrative Agent on behalf of such Buyer or assignee or participant shall deliver to the Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as may be necessary for the Seller to comply with their obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11.e, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
The applicable IRS forms referred to above shall be delivered by Administrative Agent on behalf of each applicable Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant on or prior to the date on which such person becomes a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant 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 Administrative Agent or a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are imposed on such Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant, as described in Section 11.e(i) hereof, shall be paid by Seller within ten (10) days after demand therefor from Administrative Agent. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Buyer or Buyer assignee or participant shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
g.    Each party’s obligations under this Section 11 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer or a Buyer assignee or participant, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Agreement.
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 Mortgage Loans, and the Purchased Mortgage Loans as owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and Seller agree that they will treat and report for all tax purposes the Transactions entered into hereunder as one or more loans from a Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise prohibited by law or upon a final determination by any taxing authority that the Transactions are not loans for tax purposes.

12.    Servicing
a.    Seller, on Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ behalf, shall contract with Servicer to, or if Seller is the Servicer, Seller shall, service the Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that Seller customarily requires with respect to similar 


- 32 -









Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Seller and Servicer shall (i) comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Administrative Agent or Buyers in any Mortgage Loans or any payment thereunder. Administrative Agent may terminate the servicing of any Mortgage Loan with the then existing Servicer in accordance with Section 12.e) hereof.
b.    Seller shall and shall cause the Servicer to hold or cause to be held all escrow funds collected by Seller and Servicer with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loans in trust accounts and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected.
c.    [Reserved].
d.    In the event there is a third party Servicer and upon Administrative Agent’s request, Seller shall provide promptly to Administrative Agent a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the Servicer of the related Purchased Mortgage Loans, advising such Servicer of such matters as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the Servicer of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ interest in such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Administrative Agent, it will follow the instructions of Administrative Agent with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and any related Income with respect thereto.
e.    Upon written notice, Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller and the Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer appointed by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt any termination of the Servicer’s rights to service by the Administrative Agent as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed part of an exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights to cause the liquidation, termination or acceleration of this Agreement.
f.    If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Seller or any entity responsible to Seller for managing or servicing any such Purchased Mortgage Loan has failed to perform fully Seller’s obligations under the Program Agreements or any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall promptly notify Administrative Agent.
g.    Reserved.
h.    For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loans; provided that the Seller shall and shall cause the Servicer to continue to service the Purchased Mortgage Loans hereunder as part of its Obligations hereunder. As such, the Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased 


- 33 -









Mortgage Loans are sold to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers on a “servicing released” basis.

13.    Representations and Warranties
a.    Seller represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Buyers as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:
(1)    Seller Existence. Seller has been duly organized and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(2)    Licenses. Seller is duly licensed or is otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts business for the business which it conducts and is not in default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to take such action is not reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect and is not in default of such state’s applicable laws, rules and regulations. Seller has the requisite power and authority and legal right to originate and purchase Mortgage Loans (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 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 Notice. To the extent previously approved, Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee, a VA Approved Lender and a VA Approved Servicer; provided, however, that the Seller is permitted to let FHA and VA approvals lapse if the Transactions under this Agreement do not include FHA Loans or VA Loans; provided, further that Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such lapse and at such point such FHA Loans or VA Loans shall no longer be eligible for Transactions hereunder.
(3)    Power. Seller 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. Seller has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable. Each Program Agreement has been (or, in the case of Program Agreements not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each is valid, binding and enforceable against Seller 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)    Reserved. 
(6)    Reserved. 


- 34 -









(7)    Solvency. Seller will not be rendered insolvent as a result of any Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Mortgage Loans to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller is not transferring any Purchased Mortgage Loans with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.
(8)    No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of each Program Agreement do not conflict with any term or provision of the formation documents or by-laws of Seller or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to Seller of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over Seller, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which Seller is a party.
(9)    True and Complete Disclosure. All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Administrative Agent or Buyers in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of Seller or any Affiliate or officer thereof, negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements, when taken as a whole, (i) are true and complete and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading and (ii) with respect to financial statements, present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of Seller as of the dates and for the periods indicated. 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). Except as disclosed in such financial statements or pursuant to Section 17.b hereof, Seller is not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material possibility of causing a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Seller.
(10)    Approvals. Other than as set forth in the Omnibus Agreement, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to any Governmental Authority or court is required under applicable law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of each Program Agreement.
(11)    Litigation. There is no unstayed action, proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which the Seller has received service of process or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge threatened against it before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of any Program Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by any Program Agreement or (C) which is reasonably likely to be determined adversely and, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or 


- 35 -









the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of any Program Agreement.
(12)    Material Adverse Change. Other than as customarily occurs as a result of events leading up to and following the commencement of a proceeding under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code by residential mortgage servicers or other companies operating under similar lines of business as the Debtors and the commencement of the Cases or any Specified Act of Insolvency with respect to the Guarantor or the Seller or as contemplated by the RSA, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or prospects of Seller or its Affiliates since the date set forth in the most recent financial statements supplied to Administrative Agent as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
(13)    Ownership. Upon payment of the Purchase Price and the filing of the financing statement and delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Custodian and the Custodian’s receipt of the related Request for Certification, Administrative Agent shall become the sole owner of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and related Repurchase Assets, for the benefit of Buyers and Repledgees free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
(14)    Underwriting Guidelines. The Underwriting Guidelines provided to Administrative Agent are the true and correct Underwriting Guidelines of the Seller.
(15)    Taxes. Seller and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes, 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 Seller and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of Seller, adequate.
(16)    Investment Company. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries 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 located at 1100 Virginia Drive, Suite 100A Fort Washington, PA 19034 and was previously located at 3000 Bayport Drive, Suite 880, Tampa, FL 33607.

(19)    Adjusted Tangible Net Worth. On the Effective Date, Seller’s Adjusted Tangible Net Worth is not less than the amount set forth in Article 4(5)(a) of the Omnibus Agreement.
(20)    ERISA. Each Plan to which Seller or its Subsidiaries make direct contributions, and, to the knowledge of Seller, each other Plan and each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other Federal or State law.
(21)    Adverse Selection. Seller has not selected the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a manner so as to adversely affect Buyers’ interests.
(22)    Reserved. 
(23)    Reserved. 
(24)    Agency Approvals. With respect to each Agency Security and to the extent necessary and previously approved, Seller is an FHA Approved Mortgagee, a VA Approved Lender, a VA Approved Servicer and a Ginnie Mae approved issuer. Seller is also approved by Fannie Mae as an approved lender and Freddie Mac as an approved seller/servicer, and, to the extent necessary, approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. In each such case, Seller is in good standing, with no event having occurred or Seller having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur prior to the issuance of the Agency Security or the consummation of the Take-out Commitment, as the case may be, including, without limitation, a change in insurance coverage which would either (x) make Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or (y) require notification to the relevant Agency or to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, FHA or VA but only to the extent that such notification to the relevant Agency or Governmental Authority is expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Should Seller for any reason cease to possess all such applicable approvals, Seller shall so notify Administrative Agent immediately in writing.
(25)    No Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Program Agreements and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and 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. Seller is not relying upon any advice from Administrative Agent or Buyers as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions.


- 37 -









(26)    Plan Assets.

Seller or the Servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans will maintain all such Records not in the possession of Custodian in good and complete condition in accordance with industry practices for assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and preserve them against loss.

- 44 -










15.    Events of Default
The occurrence of any “Event of Default” (as defined in the Omnibus Agreement) shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder.  An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Administrative Agent in accordance with the Omnibus Agreement in written notice to Seller.

16.    Remedies Upon Default
In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the Omnibus Agreement: 
a.    Administrative Agent may, at its option, declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Administrative Agent shall give notice to Seller of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.
b.    If Administrative Agent exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Mortgage Loans, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and applied, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, first to the reasonable costs and expenses including but not limited to legal fees incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions; and third to any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder, and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent or its designee the Mortgage Files relating to any Purchased Mortgage Loans subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control.
c.    Administrative Agent also shall have the right on behalf of Buyers to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of Seller relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller. To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Mortgage Loans held by Custodian, Administrative Agent shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt. Without limiting the rights of Administrative Agent hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall be 


- 45 -









entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Administrative Agent from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.
d.    Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans to remit all collections thereon to Administrative Agent or its designee, 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 Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Mortgage Loans with or without cause. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Mortgage Loans and liquidate all Repurchase Assets. Such disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans may be, at Administrative Agent’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Administrative Agent shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Mortgage Loans with respect to any such disposition thereof. Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Mortgage Loans 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 Administrative Agent to dispose of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Mortgage Loans or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to place the Purchased Mortgage Loans in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Mortgage Loans individually for the prevailing price. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Mortgage Loans, to give the Seller credit for such Purchased Mortgage Loans and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Asset Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans 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, Administrative Agent may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
f.    Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and each Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel 


- 46 -









(including the costs of internal counsel of Administrative Agent and Buyers) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.
g.    To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and each 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 Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this Section 16.g) shall accrue at a rate equal to the Post Default Rate.
h.    Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law. 
i.    Administrative Agent may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Administrative Agent immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent may have.
j.    Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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.
k.    Administrative Agent shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence with respect to Seller and the Mortgage Loans, which review shall be at the expense of Seller.

17.    Reports
a.    Default Notices. Seller shall furnish to Administrative Agent (i) promptly, copies of any material and adverse notices (including, without limitation, notices of defaults, breaches, potential defaults or potential breaches) and any material financial information that is not otherwise required to be provided by Seller hereunder which is given to Seller’s lenders and (ii) immediately, notice of the occurrence of any (A) Event of Default hereunder, (B) default or breach by Seller or Servicer of any obligation under any Program Agreement or any material contract or agreement of Seller or Servicer or (C) event or circumstance that

18.    Repurchase Transactions
To the extent either of Barclays or Nomura (and any respective Affiliate thereof) are the sole Buyers hereunder, and subject to Section 4.a, Section 4.b, Section 6 and Section 18, such 


- 50 -









sole Buyer may, in its sole election, engage in repurchase transactions (as “seller” thereunder) with any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and/or Repurchase Assets or pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any or all of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and/or Repurchase Assets with a counterparty of such Buyers’ choice (such transaction, a “Repledge Transaction”). Any Repledge Transaction shall be effected by notice to the Administrative Agent, and shall be reflected on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. No such Repledge Transaction shall relieve such Buyers of its obligations to transfer Purchased Mortgage Loans and Repurchase Assets to Seller (and not substitutions thereof) pursuant to the terms hereof. In furtherance, and not by limitation of, the foregoing, it is acknowledged that each counterparty under a Repledge Transaction (a “Repledgee”), is a repledgee as contemplated by Sections 9-207 and 9-623 of the UCC (and the relevant Official Comments thereunder). Administrative Agent and Buyers are each hereby authorized to share any information delivered hereunder with the Repledgee. 

19.    Single Agreement
Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller acknowledge they have and will enter into each Transaction hereunder, in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Administrative Agent, Buyers 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 Administrative Agent and Buyers shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by them (or held by the Custodian for their benefit) in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and as otherwise provided in the Netting Agreement 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
Any and all notices (with the exception of Transaction Notices, which shall be delivered via electronic mail or other electronic medium agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Seller), statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a party to the other by mail, email, facsimile, messenger or otherwise to the address specified below, or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and requests hereunder may be made orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by other communication as specified in the preceding sentence. In all cases, to the extent that the related individual set forth in the respective “Attention” line is no longer employed by the respective Person, such notice may be given to the attention of a Responsible Officer of the respective Person or to the attention of such individual or individuals as subsequently notified in writing by a Responsible Officer of the respective Person.

21.    Entire Agreement; Severability
This Agreement and the Administration Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements (other than the Omnibus Agreement) 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Omnibus Agreement shall supersede this Agreement. 

22.    Non-assignability
a.    Assignments. The Program Agreements are not assignable by Seller. Subject to Section 42 (Acknowledgement of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement) hereof, Administrative Agent and Buyers may from time to time assign all or a portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements pursuant to the Administration Agreement; provided, however that Administrative Agent shall maintain, solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and participants (the “Register”) and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by Administrative Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned and Seller shall only be required to deal directly with the Administrative Agent. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller, Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the preceding sentence as a Buyer hereunder. Upon such assignment and recordation in the Register, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder, as applicable, and (b) Administrative Agent and Buyers shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by them to either (i) an Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Buyers which assumes the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers, as applicable or (ii) another Person approved by Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that such approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) which assumes the obligations of Administrative Agent and Buyers, as applicable, be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreements. Any assignment hereunder shall be deemed a joinder of such assignee as a Buyer hereto. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and 


- 53 -









Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Administrative Agent unless otherwise notified by Administrative Agent in writing. Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual assignee this Agreement the other Program Agreements any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Seller. 
b.    Participations. Any Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the Program Agreements; provided, however, that (i) such Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent and/or Buyers in connection with such Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements except as provided in Section 7. Administrative Agent and Buyers may distribute to any prospective or actual participant this Agreement, the other Program Agreements any document or other information delivered to Administrative Agent and/or Buyers by Seller.

23.    Set-off; Netting
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder and by law, the Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have such setoff and netting rights as set forth in more detail in the Netting Agreement. 

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 Administrative Agent and Buyers hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Administrative Agent and Buyers. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
b.    EACH OF SELLER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND BUYERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF SELLER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND BUYERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF SELLER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND BUYERS HEREBY SUBMIT TO, AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION IT 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 


- 54 -









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 any 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 each of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6.a), Section 16.a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

26.    Intent
a.    The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this 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. Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyers further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).
b.    Administrative Agent’s or a Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Mortgage Loans 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).


- 55 -









d.    It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).
e.    This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 101(47), Section 555, Section 559 and Section 741 under the Bankruptcy Code.
f.    Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, this 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
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 Administrative Agent to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Administrative Agent, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Administrative Agent as Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to perform all other acts which Administrative Agent deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact. This agency and power of 


- 56 -









attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Administrative Agent’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Default hereunder. 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 hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof.

29.    Buyers May Act Through Administrative Agent
Each Buyer has designated the Administrative Agent for the purpose of performing any action hereunder.  The exculpatory and liability-limiting provisions contained in the Administration Agreement with respect to the Administrative Agent shall also apply in all respects to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Program Agreements.

30.    Indemnification; Obligations
a.    Seller agrees to hold Administrative Agent, Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any third party relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Transaction Notice, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein, any Transaction Notice and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel. Seller’s agreements in this Section 30 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Each of Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyers also agree not to assert any claim against the other or any of such party’s 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, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.
b.    Without limitation to the provisions of Section 4, if any payment of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction 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 


- 57 -









Section 16 or for any other reason, Seller shall, upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers an amount sufficient to compensate Buyers for any losses, costs or expenses that they may reasonably incur as of a result of such payment.
c.    Without limiting the provisions of Section 30.a) hereof, if 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 Administrative Agent (subject to reimbursement by Seller) in its sole discretion.

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

32.    Confidentiality
a.    This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Administrative Agent and Buyers and shall be held by Seller in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Administrative Agent except for (i) disclosure to Administrative Agent’s, Buyers’, Seller’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, (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body, (iii) disclosure to the disclosing party’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys, accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, (iv) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body (“Governmental Order”) or rating agency in connection with any securities issued by Buyer or an Affiliate of a Buyer, (v) disclosure as Administrative Agent and Buyers deem appropriate in connection with the enforcement of Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ rights hereunder or under any Transaction or in connection with working with Administrative Agent’s and Buyer’s Affiliates, Subsidiaries and representatives in connection with the management and/or review of the Transactions, (vi) disclosure of any confidential terms that are in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant, or (vii) disclosure made to an assignee, participant, repledgee or any of their direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, representatives, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary in connection with the transactions or performing rights or obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreement, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax 


- 58 -









treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Administrative Agent and Buyers or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Commitment Fee, Purchase Price Percentage, Purchase Price and any other fees specified in the Pricing Side Letter or the Master Fee Letter, as applicable) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 
b.    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Seller and Administrative Agent 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 Mortgage Loans and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement, including information pertaining to any Mortgage Loan that is not purchased hereunder or customer or loan information that another lender may share with the Administrative Agent pursuant to an intercreditor agreement or other agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Each of Seller and Administrative Agent 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 of Seller and Administrative Agent 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 Seller and Administrative Agent shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the Act) of Administrative Agent and Buyers or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Buyers which the Seller 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 of Seller and Administrative Agent 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, a party hereto 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 a party’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of the other party. Each party shall notify the other party immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of the other party or any Affiliate of the other party provided directly to such party by the other party or such Affiliate. Each party shall provide such notice to the other party 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


- 59 -









Administrative Agent, Buyers, and Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect to Transactions. Administrative Agent, Buyers, and Seller 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 Administrative Agent and Buyers have the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Seller and the Mortgage Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, for the purpose of performing quality control review of the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than three (3) Business Days’) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case no notice is required, to Seller, Administrative Agent, Buyers or their authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Mortgage Files and any and all documents, data, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, quality control review) in the possession or under the control of Seller and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Administrative Agent and Buyers a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Mortgage Files and the Mortgage Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Buyers may purchase Mortgage Loans from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Administrative Agent and Buyers in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Administrative Agent or Buyers, at their option, have the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Mortgage Loans purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering Broker’s price opinions, new credit reports and new appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Mortgage Loan. Administrative Agent or Buyers may underwrite such Mortgage Loans itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent, Buyers and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent, Buyers and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Mortgage Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers in connection with Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ activities pursuant to this Section 34; provided that diligence may only be performed by Administrative Agent and Buyers on a sample of up to two-hundred (200) Mortgage Loans per fiscal quarter. 

35.    Authorizations
Any of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Schedule 2 are authorized, acting singly, to act for Seller or Administrative Agent to the extent set forth therein, as the case may be, under this Agreement. The Seller may amend Schedule 2 from time to time by delivering 


- 60 -









a revised Schedule 2 to Administrative Agent and expressly stating that such revised Schedule 2 shall replace the existing Schedule 2.

36.    Acknowledgement of Anti-Predatory Lending Policies
Administrative Agent has in place internal policies and procedures that expressly prohibit its purchase of any High Cost Mortgage Loan.

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

38.    General Interpretive Principles
For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:
a.    the terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement and include the plural as well as the singular, and the use of any gender herein shall be deemed to include the other gender;
b.    accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with GAAP;
c.    references herein to “Articles”, “Sections”, “Subsections”, “Paragraphs”, and other subdivisions without reference to a document are to designated Articles, Sections, Subsections, Paragraphs and other subdivisions of this Agreement;
d.    a reference to a Subsection without further reference to a Section is a reference to such Subsection as contained in the same Section in which the reference appears, and this rule shall also apply to Paragraphs and other subdivisions;
e.    the words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision;
f.    the term “include” or “including” shall mean without limitation by reason of enumeration;
g.    all times specified herein or in any other Program Agreement (unless expressly specified otherwise) are local times in New York, New York unless otherwise stated; 


- 61 -









h.    all references herein or in any Program Agreement to “good faith” means good faith as defined in Section 5-102(7) of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York; and
i.    an Event of Default shall be deemed continuing unless such Event of Default has been waived in writing. 

39.    Conflicts
In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Program Agreement, the documents shall control in the following order of priority: first, the terms of the Pricing Side Letter shall prevail, then the terms of the Administration Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall prevail, and then the terms of the other Program Agreements shall prevail. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of the Omnibus Agreement shall prevail over the terms of this Agreement and the Pricing Side Letter. 

40.    Buyers Several. 
Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyers hereby acknowledge and agree that each Buyer is severally liable to the Seller for funding its respective Pro Rata Portion of the Maximum Committed Purchase Price. No Buyer shall have liability to the Seller for another Buyer’s failure to perform under the terms of this Agreement. 

41.    Termination of Agreement
This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may terminate this Agreement at any time upon the failure of Administrative Agent to return any Mortgage Loan to Seller within five (5) Business Days after the payment by Seller to the Administrative Agent of the related Repurchase Price, without the payment of any penalties, breakage costs or termination fees; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any outstanding Repurchase Price shall be deemed due and payable upon such Termination Date. If Seller exercises such right of termination, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Administrative Agent shall promptly reimburse Seller for the prorated amount of the Commitment Fee attributable to the number of days remaining from the date such of such termination until the Termination Date. 

42.    Acknowledgment of Assignment and Administration of Repurchase Agreement
Pursuant to Section 22 (Non-assignability) of this Agreement, Administrative Agent or a Buyer may sell, transfer and convey or allocate certain Purchased Mortgage Loans and the related Repurchase Assets and related Transactions to certain affiliates of Administrative Agent or of a Buyer and/or one or more CP Conduits (the “Additional Buyers”), subject, in all cases, to the Administration Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledge and agree to the joinder of such Additional Buyers and the assignments and the terms and provisions set forth in the Administration Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall administer the provisions of this Agreement, subject to the terms of the Administration Agreement, for the benefit of the Buyers and any Repledgees, as applicable. 


- 62 -









For the avoidance of doubt, all payments, notices, communications and agreements pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to, and entered into by, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Buyers and/or the Repledgees, as applicable and the Buyers shall not have any direct right against the Seller under this Agreement. Furthermore, to the extent that the Administrative Agent exercises remedies pursuant to this Agreement, solely the Administrative Agent will have the right to bid on and/or purchase any of the Repurchase Assets pursuant to Section 16 (Remedies Upon Default). The benefit of all representations, rights, remedies and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of each Buyer and Repledgees, as applicable. All provisions of this Agreement shall survive the transfers contemplated herein (including any Repledge Transactions) and in the Administration Agreement, except to the extent such provisions are modified by the Administration Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the Administration Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Administration Agreement shall control. All Transactions shall continue to be deemed a single Transaction and all of the Repurchase Assets shall be security for all of the Obligations hereunder, subject to the priority of payments provisions as set forth in the Administration Agreement. 

43.    Bankruptcy Non-Petition
The parties hereby agree that they shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any Buyer that is a CP Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by the applicable CP Conduit is paid in full.

44.    Limited Recourse
The obligations of each party hereto under this Agreement or any other Program Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of such party.

Where a resolution measure is taken in relation to any BRRD undertaking or any member of the same group as that BRRD undertaking and that BRRD undertaking or any member of the same group as that BRRD undertaking is a party to this Agreement (any such party to this Agreement being an “Affected Party”), each other party to this Agreement agrees that it shall only be entitled to exercise any termination right under this Agreement against the Affected Party to the extent that it would be entitled to do so under the Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of any part of the United Kingdom.
For the purpose of this Section 46, “resolution measure” means a ‘crisis prevention measure’, ‘crisis management measure’ or ‘recognised third-country resolution action’, each with the meaning given in the “PRA Rulebook: CRR Firms and Non-Authorised Persons: Stay in Resolution Instrument 2015”, as may be amended from time to time (the “PRA Contractual Stay Rules”), provided, however, that ‘crisis prevention measure’ shall be interpreted in the manner outlined in Rule 2.3 of the PRA Contractual Stay Rules; “Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (“BRRD”) undertaking”, “group”, “Special Resolution  Regime” and “termination right” have the respective meanings given in the PRA Contractual Stay Rules.”

48.    Notice Regarding Client Money Rules 
a.    Barclays holds all money received and held by it hereunder as banker and not as trustee. Accordingly, money that is received and held by Barclays from Seller will not be held in accordance with the provisions of the FCA’s Client Asset Sourcebook relating to client money (the “Client Money Rules”) and will not be subject to the statutory trust provided for under the Client Money Rules. 
b.    In particular, Barclays shall not segregate money received by it from Seller from other money of Barclays, and Barclays shall not be liable to account to any clients for any profits made by Barclays as banker of such cash and upon failure of Barclays, the client money distribution rules within the Client Asset Sourcebook (the “Client Money Distribution Rules”) will not apply to these sums and so no client will be entitled to share in any distribution under the Client Money Distribution Rules.

Schedule 1

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASED MORTGAGE LOANS
Seller makes the following representations and warranties to Administrative Agent and Buyers with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan that is at all times subject to a Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Program Agreements and any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the best of a Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by such Seller, Administrative Agent or any Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding such Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty for purposes of determining Asset Value.
(a)    Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to the Purchase Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of Seller, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan. The first Monthly Payment shall have been made prior to the second scheduled Monthly Payment becoming due.
(b)    No Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither Seller nor the Qualified Originator from which Seller acquired the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and/or interest thereunder.
(c)    Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note (and the Proprietary Lease, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Stock Power with respect to each Co-op Loan) and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Administrative Agent and Buyers, and which original or (other than with respect to the Mortgage Note) certified copy has been delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Mortgage Loan 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 Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement 


Schedule 1-1









is part of the Mortgage File delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(d)    No Defenses. The Mortgage Loan (and the Assignment of Proprietary Lease related to each Co-op Loan) is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. Mortgagor did not have a prior bankruptcy. Mortgagor did not previously own property that was the subject of a foreclosure during the time the Mortgagor was the owner of record. Seller has no knowledge nor has it received any notice that any Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably be expected to cause investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or materially adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan.
(e)    Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and to the extent required by Seller as of the date of origination consistent with the Underwriting Guidelines, against earthquake and other risks insured against by Persons operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified by any federal Governmental Authority as having special flood hazards, and flood insurance is available, a flood insurance policy meeting the current guidelines of the Federal Emergency Management Agency is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. All such insurance policies (collectively, the “hazard insurance policy”) contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgage Loan), as mortgagee, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the mortgagee. No such notice has been received by Seller. All premiums on such insurance policy have been paid. The related Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a “master” or “blanket” hazard insurance policy covering a 


Schedule 1-2









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. Seller has not 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.
(f)    Environmental Compliance. There does not exist on the Mortgaged Property any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, solid wastes or other pollutants, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq., 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. 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, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws or regulations, and Seller shall maintain or shall cause its agent to maintain in its possession, available for the inspection of Administrative Agent, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent, upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.
(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 effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Seller 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 Seller 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 an Acceptable State as identified in the Custodial Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached or attached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a low-rise Co-op Project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development; provided, however, that any condominium unit, Co-op Unit or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements regarding such dwellings 


Schedule 1-3









or shall conform to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home. In the case of any Manufactured Home Loan, (i) such Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan conforms with the applicable Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac requirements regarding mortgage loans related to manufactured dwellings, (ii) the related manufactured dwelling is permanently affixed to the land, (iii) the related manufactured dwelling and the related land are subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the appropriate public recording office and naming Seller as mortgagee, (iv) the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located will deem the manufactured dwelling located on such Mortgaged Property to be a part of the real property on which such dwelling is located, and (v) such Manufactured Home Mortgage Loan is (x) a qualified mortgage under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and (y) secured by manufactured housing treated as a single family residence under Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. No portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes; provided, that, the Mortgaged Property may be a mixed use property if such Mortgaged Property conforms to underwriting guidelines acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
(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 and specifically referred to in lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (a) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal;
c.    other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to pledge and assign the same to Administrative Agent. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage.
(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 


Schedule 1-4









thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and properly executed by such related parties. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Administrative Agent and Buyers in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed.
(l)    Full Disbursement of Proceeds. There is no further requirement for future advances under the Mortgage Loan, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage. All broker fees have been properly assessed to the Mortgagor and no claims will arise as to broker fees that are double charged and for which the Mortgagor would be entitled to reimbursement.
(m)    Ownership. Seller has full right to sell or pledge, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan to Buyers free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell or pledge, as applicable, each Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale or pledge, as applicable, of each Mortgage Loan, Buyers will own such Mortgage Loan (and with respect to any Co-op Loan, the sole owner of the related Assignment of Proprietary Lease) free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest except any such security interest created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(n)    Doing Business. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (ii) either (A) organized under the laws of such state, (B) qualified to do business in such state, (C) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank having a principal office in such state, or (D) not doing business in such state.
(o)    Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an attorney’s opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the area wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and each such title insurance policy is issued by a title insurer acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, as 


Schedule 1-5









to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, with respect to a Mortgage Loan (or to the extent a Mortgage Note provides for negative amortization, the maximum amount of negative amortization in accordance with the Mortgage), subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph (i) of this Schedule 1, and in the case of adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading. Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and remains in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder or servicer of the related Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy, including without limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney, firm or other Person, and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller.
(p)    No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither Seller nor its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration; and with respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no default in complying with the terms of the Mortgage Note, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments (including assessments payable in the future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and Seller has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor.
(q)    No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under 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.
(r)    Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning and building law, ordinance or regulation. All seller and/or builder concessions have been subtracted from the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of determining the LTV.


Schedule 1-6









(s)    Origination; Payment Terms. The Mortgage Loan was originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority. Principal and/or interest payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature. The Mortgagor contributed at least five percent (5%) (or three and one-half percent (3.5%) for FHA Loans) of the purchase price for the Mortgaged Property from their own funds. Interest on the Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. With respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Interest Rate is adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin (rounded up or down to the nearest .125%), subject to the Mortgage Interest Rate Cap. The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of principal and/or interest (subject to an “interest only” period in the case of Interest Only Loans), which installments of interest (a) with respect to adjustable rate Mortgage Loans are subject to change on the Interest Rate Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date and (b) with respect to Interest Only Loans are subject to change on the Interest Only Adjustment Date due to adjustments to the Mortgage Interest Rate on each Interest Only Adjustment Date, in both cases with interest calculated and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than 30 years from commencement of amortization.
(t)    Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the 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 Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay, either (y) the ability of the Seller, Administrative Agent, a Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to sell the related Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or otherwise, or (z) the ability of the Seller, Administrative Agent, a Buyer or any servicer or any successor servicer to foreclose on the related Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.
(u)    Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Purchase Date the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. Seller has not received notification from any Governmental Authority that 


Schedule 1-7









the Mortgaged Property is in material non-compliance with such laws or regulations, is being used, operated or occupied unlawfully or has failed to have or obtain such inspection, licenses or certificates, as the case may be. Seller has not received notice of any violation or failure to conform with any such law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate. With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated with an “owner-occupied” Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor represented at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan that the Mortgagor would occupy the Mortgaged Property as the Mortgagor’s primary residence.
(v)    No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been 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 (i) above.
(w)    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, Administrative Agent or any Buyer to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.
(x)    Transfer of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to Mortgage Loans intended for purchase by Ginnie Mae and for Mortgage Loans registered with MERS, the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
(y)    Due-On-Sale. Except with respect to Mortgage Loans intended for purchase by Ginnie Mae, 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.
(z)    No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests. Except with respect to Agency Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.
(aa)    Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Purchase Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.
(bb)    No Condemnation Proceeding. There have not been any condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Seller has no knowledge of any such proceedings.


Schedule 1-8

	Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date (as defined therein) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and among Ditech Financial LLC (“Seller”), Barclays Bank PLC, in its capacity as Administrative Agent (as defined therein) (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), Barclays Bank PLC (a “Committed Buyer” and a “Buyer”), Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC (a “Committed Buyer” and a “Buyer”) and other Buyers joined thereto from time to time (the “Buyers”). 


Ladies and Gentlemen:
[                       ] (the “Servicer”) is servicing certain mortgage loans for Seller pursuant to that certain Servicing Agreement between the Servicer and Seller. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement among Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller, the Servicer is hereby notified that Seller has pledged to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Buyers and certain other Secured Parties (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement), certain mortgage loans which are serviced by Servicer which are subject to a security interest in favor of Administrative Agent.
Upon receipt of a Notice of Event of Default from Administrative Agent (“Notice of Event of Default”) in which Administrative Agent shall identify the mortgage loans which are then pledged to Administrative Agent under the Repurchase Agreement (the “Mortgage Loans”), the Servicer shall segregate all amounts collected on account of such Mortgage Loans, hold them in trust for the sole and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Buyers and certain other Secured Parties (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement)), and remit such collections in accordance with Administrative Agent’s written instructions. Following such Notice of Event of Default, Servicer shall follow the instructions of Administrative Agent with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent any information with respect to the Mortgage Loans reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding any contrary information which may be delivered to the Servicer by Seller, the Servicer may conclusively rely on any information or Notice of Event of Default delivered by Administrative Agent, and Seller shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against it for any actions taken in good faith by the Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information or Notice of Event of Default.
This Servicer Notice shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, Administrative Agent, Buyers and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
