(ii)    Seller (A) has transferred certain REO Properties unrelated to Mortgage Loans that are Purchased Assets (the “Initial REO Properties”) to the REO Subsidiary and shall 


- 20 -







promptly transfer the REO Asset along with written notice of the Transaction in the form of an REO Subsidiary Schedule of Assets to the Purchaser and Custodian and has transferred to the Custodian electronic copies of the applicable REO Deeds (such date, the “Initial REO Transfer Date”) and (B) (x) subject to any applicable redemption period, has delivered to the Purchaser evidence, as described in clause (iv) hereof, that Seller has caused the REO Deed to be sent for recording in the applicable office of the applicable jurisdiction and (y) has transferred to the Custodian the related REO Property File as the documents contained in therein come into existence.
(iii)    At any time subsequent to the initial Transaction that a Mortgage Loan that is a Purchased Asset is foreclosed upon, (A) the record title in such Mortgage Loan shall promptly be vested in and retained by the Nominee, and Seller shall transfer to the Custodian an electronic copy of the related REO Deed (such date, the “Foreclosure Date”) and (B) Seller shall (x) subject to any applicable redemption period, promptly deliver to Purchaser evidence, as described in clause (iv) hereof, that Seller has caused the REO Deed to be sent for recording in the applicable office of the applicable jurisdiction and (y) promptly transfer to the Custodian the related REO Property File as the documents contained in therein come into existence; but, with respect items related to insurance, no more than twenty (20) days, and with respect to items related to the REO Deed, no more than forty-five (45) days, in each case from the Foreclosure Date, unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser or Agent; provided that if Seller fails to deliver such evidence provided in (x) and (y) of this clause (iii) within the applicable time periods, the related REO Property shall have a Market Value of zero.
(iv)    For purposes of this Agreement, a Mortgage Loan that is a Purchased Asset shall be deemed to have converted into an REO Property upon the earliest to occur of the following: (A) an REO Deed shall have been received in the name of the REO Subsidiary with respect to the Mortgaged Property related to such Mortgage Loan; (B) the REO Subsidiary shall have received a receipt or other written acknowledgment acceptable to Purchaser from the filing clerk evidencing the submission for filing of an REO Deed with respect to the Mortgaged Property related to such Mortgage Loan, (C) the REO Subsidiary shall have received a receipt issued by a Governmental Authority evidencing the REO Subsidiary’s right to receive the REO Deed for the Mortgaged Property related to such Mortgage Loan or (D) Purchaser shall have received such other evidence of the REO Subsidiary’s interest in such Converted REO Property acceptable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion.
(v)    On any Foreclosure Date, a Transaction shall be deemed to occur with respect to the Converted REO Property, and the Repurchase Price with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be reduced to zero and such Repurchase Price shall be accounted for in determining the Purchase Price of such Converted REO Property. A Transaction Notice shall not be required for any such deemed Transaction to occur; however, Seller shall provide prompt written notice in the form of an REO Subsidiary Schedule of Assets to Purchaser and Custodian upon such deemed conversion.
(vi)    Pursuant to that certain Flow Assignment Agreement, dated as of the date of the  Original Agreement, between REO Subsidiary and RMS, RMS may from time to time assign certain Eligible Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction to REO Subsidiary. Upon the assignment of any such Eligible Mortgage Loan to REO Subsidiary, RMS and REO 


- 21 -







Subsidiary shall provide notice thereof to the Purchaser and deliver to the Purchaser an updated Seller Mortgage Loan Schedule showing updated ownership of Eligible Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction. Thereafter, all obligations with respect to such Eligible Mortgage Loans (including without limitation those in Sections 3(e) and (f)) shall be obligations of REO Subsidiary. To the extent that an Eligible Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is transferred to REO Subsidiary, the value of the REO Asset shall be deemed not to increase by the Purchase Price of such Eligible Mortgage Loans; however any such Eligible Mortgage Loan will retain the Purchase Price assigned to it when it became subject to a Transaction.
(vii)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if a Mortgagor shall resume payments on any Eligible Mortgage Loans held by the REO Subsidiary, the parties hereto agree that the REO Subsidiary shall immediately assign such Eligible Mortgage Loans to RMS and provide notice thereof to the Custodian and the Purchaser (in the case of the Purchaser, along with an updated Seller Mortgage Loan Schedule showing updated ownership of Eligible Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction). 
		
	4.
	CONFIRMATION


In the event that parties hereto desire to enter into a Transaction on terms other than as set forth in this Agreement, the parties shall execute a confirmation prior to entering into such Transaction, which confirmation shall be in a form that is mutually acceptable to the Purchaser and applicable Seller and shall specify such terms, including, without limitation, the Purchase Date, the Purchase Price, the Pricing Rate therefor and the Repurchase Date (a “Confirmation”). Any such Confirmation and the related Seller Mortgage Loan Schedule, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed to between the applicable Purchaser and the applicable Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Confirmation, the terms of the Confirmation shall control with respect to the related Transaction.

	6.
	PAYMENT AND TRANSFER


Unless otherwise agreed by Seller and the Purchaser, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in Dollars in immediately available funds. Seller shall remit (or, if applicable, shall cause to be remitted) directly to the Purchaser all payments required to be made by it to the Purchaser hereunder or under any other Program Document in accordance with wire instructions provided by the Purchaser. Any payments received by Purchaser after 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be applied on the next succeeding Business Day.
		
	7.
	MARGIN MAINTENANCE


(a)    Agent shall determine the Market Value of the Purchased Assets on a daily basis as determined by Agent in its sole discretion on exercising good faith.
(b)    If, as of any date of determination, the lesser of (a) 100% of the Principal Balance of all Purchased Assets then subject to all Transactions and (b) the aggregate Market Value of all related Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions, taking into account the cash then on deposit in the Collection Account, multiplied by the applicable Purchase Price Percentage is less than the Repurchase Price (excluding accrued Price Differential) for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Agent may, by notice to RMS (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require RMS to transfer to the Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee cash or, at Purchaser’s option (and provided RMS has additional Eligible Mortgage Loans), additional Eligible 


- 22 -







Mortgage Loans to Purchaser (“Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans”) to cure the Margin Deficit; provided that Purchaser shall not provide notice of a Margin Call to RMS until the Margin Deficit equals or exceeds $500,000. If the Agent delivers a Margin Call to RMS on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then RMS shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day. In the event the Agent delivers a Margin Call to RMS after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, RMS shall be required to transfer cash or Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day.
(c)    Any cash transferred to the Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee pursuant to Section 16(f)(ii)(B) herein shall reduce the Repurchase Price of the related Transactions.
(d)    The failure of Purchaser, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions of this Agreement or limit the right of Purchaser to do so at a later date. Seller and the Purchaser agree that a failure or delay by Purchaser to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.
(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed that RMS shall be responsible for satisfying any Margin Deficit existing as a result of any reduction of the Principal Balance of any Purchased Asset pursuant to any action by any bankruptcy court.
		
	8.
	TAXES; TAX TREATMENT 


(a)    All payments made by Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon, excluding (A) taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), branch profits taxes or franchise taxes imposed by the United States or a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Purchaser is organized, where Purchaser’s applicable lending office is located, or with respect to which Purchaser has a present or former connection (other than any connection arising from executing, delivering, being party to, engaging in any transaction pursuant to, performing its obligations under or enforcing any Program Document), or any political subdivision thereof or (B) taxes imposed under FATCA (collectively, such non-excluded taxes are hereinafter called “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder, it shall: (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due, (c) deliver to the Purchaser, promptly, original tax receipts and other evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (d) except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8(d) below, pay to the Purchaser such additional amounts (including all Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on such additional amounts) as may be necessary so that the Purchaser receives, free and clear of all Taxes, a net amount equal to the amount it would have received under this Agreement, as if no such deduction or withholding had been made.
(b)    In addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, 


- 23 -







transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by any taxing authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement except such taxes imposed with respect to an assignment as a result of a present or former connection between Purchaser and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than connections arising from Purchaser having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Program Document, or sold or assigned any Purchased Asset or Program Document) (“Other Taxes”).
(c)    Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses arising thereon or with respect thereto) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided, that the Purchaser shall have provided Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to the Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.
(d)    Any Purchaser that is either (i) not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) not otherwise treated as a “United States person” under the Code (a “Foreign Purchaser”) shall provide Seller and Agent with original properly completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Forms W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or any successor form prescribed by the IRS (or IRS Form W-8IMY, with IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI attached), certifying that such Person is either (1) entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which eliminates United States withholding tax under sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or (2) otherwise fully exempt from United States withholding tax under sections 1441 through 1442 of the Code on payments to it or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States in either case, on or prior to the date upon which each such Foreign Purchaser becomes Purchaser. Each Foreign Purchaser will resubmit the appropriate form eliminating withholding tax on payments to it on the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the prior submission, or (B) on or before the expiration of thirty (30) days after there is a “change in circumstances” with respect to such Person as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.1441-1(e)(4)(ii)(D). For any period with respect to which the Foreign Purchaser has failed to provide Seller and Agent with the appropriate form or other relevant document as expressly required under this Section 8(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided under the first sentence of this Section 8(d) or except to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 8, amounts payable with respect to such taxes were payable to Purchaser’s assignor immediately before Purchaser became a party hereto) such Person shall not be entitled to “gross-up” of Taxes under Section 8(a) or indemnification under Section 8(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States which are imposed because of such failure; provided, however, that should a Foreign Purchaser, which is otherwise exempt from a withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Seller shall, at no cost or expense to Seller, take such steps as such Foreign Purchaser shall reasonably request to assist such Foreign Purchaser to recover such Taxes. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser that is a “United States person” within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to Seller a duly executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or 


- 24 -







information reporting requirements. Unless Seller has received such forms or other documents or information as required by this Section 8(d) to establish Purchaser’s exception from backup withholding tax, Seller shall not be required to pay additional sums or indemnify Purchaser for any backup amount withheld. 
(e)    If a payment made to Purchaser under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Agent or Purchaser 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), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by 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 Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 8(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall require Purchaser to make available any of its tax returns or other information that they deem to be confidential or proprietary.
(g)    Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent solely for purposes of U.S. federal and relevant state and local income and franchise taxes to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of the Seller that is secured by the Purchased Items and Purchased Assets and that the Purchased Items and Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by the Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless otherwise required by law.

	SECURITY INTEREST; PURCHASER’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT


(a)    Seller and the Purchaser intend that (other than for tax and accounting purposes) the Transactions hereunder be sales to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Purchaser to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of all of its Obligations, Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items. Seller acknowledges and agrees that its rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items are and shall continue to be at all times junior and subordinate to the rights of the Purchaser hereunder.  This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, novate the Original Agreement and Seller reaffirms that the existing security interest created by the Original Agreement and the Program Documents, as applicable, is and remains in full force and effect. 
(b)    Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in its own name, from time to time in Purchaser’s discretion, to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Items or Purchased Assets as the Purchaser at its option may deem appropriate, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish 


- 25 -







the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby gives the Purchaser the power and right, on behalf of Seller, without assent by, but with notice to, Seller, to do the following if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Purchaser has elected to exercise its remedies pursuant to Section 18 hereof:
(i)    in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items or Purchased Assets and to file any claim or to take any other action or initiate and maintain any appropriate proceeding in any appropriate court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Purchaser for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Purchased Items or Purchased Assets whenever payable;
(ii)    to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Purchased Items or Purchased Assets;
(iii)    (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Purchased Items or Purchased Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Purchaser or as Purchaser shall direct, (B) in the name of Seller, or in its own name, or otherwise as appropriate, to directly send or cause the applicable servicer to send “hello” letters, “goodbye” letters in the form of Exhibit D, and Section 404 Notices; (C) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Purchased Items or Purchased Assets; (D) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any Purchased Items or Purchased Assets; (E) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Purchased Items or Purchased Assets or any proceeds thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Purchased Items or Purchased Assets; (F) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against Seller with respect to any Purchased Items or Purchased Assets; (G) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (F) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as Purchaser may deem appropriate; and (H) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Purchased Items or Purchased Assets as fully and completely as though the Purchaser were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Purchaser’s option and Seller’s expense, at any time, and from time to time, all acts and things that Purchaser deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Purchased Items or Purchased Assets and Purchaser’s Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Seller might do.


Seller hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
Seller also authorizes the Purchaser, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to execute any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Purchased Assets in connection with any sale provided for in Section 18 hereof.
The powers conferred on the Purchaser hereunder are solely to protect Purchaser’s interests in the Purchased Items and Purchased Assets and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any 


- 26 -







such powers. The Purchaser shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Purchaser nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(c)    Voting Rights. Subject to this Section, after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived or cured, Purchaser, as the holder of the Membership Certificate, shall exercise all voting and member rights with respect to the REO Subsidiary membership interests. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived or cured, RMS shall exercise all voting rights with respect to the REO Subsidiary membership interests.
(d)    Delivery of Access Termination Notice. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to the Collection Account, it shall not deliver an Access Termination Notice (as defined in the Collection Account Control Agreement) unless an Event of Default has occurred. 
		
	10.

	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


Each Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser and Agent, and shall on and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction and on and as of each date thereafter through and including the related Repurchase Date be deemed to represent and warrant to the Purchaser and Agent that:
(a)Due Organization, Qualification, Power, Authority and Due Authorization. (w) It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (x) it has qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it is legally required to do so, (y) it has the power and authority under its certificate of incorporation, bylaws (or, in the case of the REO Subsidiary, its certificate of formation and the LLC Agreement) and applicable law to enter into this Agreement and the Program Documents and to perform all acts contemplated hereby and thereby or in connection herewith and therewith and (z) this Agreement and the Program Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not require any additional approvals or consents or other action by, or any notice to or filing with, any Person other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made. 


- 31 -







(b)    Noncontravention. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Program Documents are in the ordinary course of business of Seller and will not conflict with, result in the breach of or violate any provision of the charter, by-laws, certification of formation or limited liability company agreement (as applicable) of RMS or REO Subsidiary or result in the breach of any provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture, loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which RMS or REO Subsidiary, the Purchased Assets or any of RMS’s or REO Subsidiary’s Property is or may be subject to, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which RMS or REO Subsidiary, the Purchased Assets or Seller’s or REO Subsidiary’s Property is subject. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the consummation of the Transactions will not violate any policy, regulation or guideline of the FHA or result in the voiding or reduction of the FHA insurance in respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and such FHA insurance is in full force and effect or shall be in full force and effect as required by the Agency Guide.
(c)    Legal Proceeding. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, or before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting RMS or REO Subsidiary (or, to Seller’s knowledge, any basis therefor) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Program Documents or any material agreement or instrument to which RMS or REO Subsidiary is a party and which is used or contemplated for use in the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, would adversely affect the proceedings of RMS or REO Subsidiary in connection herewith or would or could materially and adversely affect RMS’s or REO Subsidiary’s ability to carry out its obligations hereunder.
(d)    Valid and Binding Obligations. This Agreement, the Program Documents and every other document to be executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement is and will be legal, valid, binding and subsisting obligations of Seller, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except that (A) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (B) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
(e)    Financial Statements. The financial statements of RMS, copies of which have been furnished to the Purchaser and Agent, and the Guarantor, copies of which are publicly available, (i) are, as of the dates and for the periods referred to therein, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of RMS as of the dates and for the periods indicated and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, except as noted therein (subject as to interim statements to normal year‐end adjustments). Since the date of the most recent financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change with respect to RMS. Except as disclosed in such financial statements or pursuant to Section 14(i) hereof, RMS is not subject to any contingent liabilities or commitments that, individually or in the aggregate, have a material possibility of causing a Material Adverse Change with respect to Seller.
(f)    Accuracy of Information. Neither this Agreement nor any representations and warranties or information relating to Seller that Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Purchaser or Agent, including, but not limited to, all documents related to this Agreement, the Program Documents or Seller’s or Guarantor’s financial statements (when taken as a whole), 


- 32 -







contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein or herein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. Since the furnishing of such documents or information, there has been no change, nor any development or event involving a prospective change that would render any of such documents or information untrue or misleading in any material respect.
(g)    No Consents. No consent, license, approval or authorization from, or registration, filing or declaration with, any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality, nor any consent, approval, waiver or notification of any creditor, lessor or other non‐governmental Person, is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement or any other Program Document, other than any that have heretofore been obtained, given or made.
(h)    Compliance With Law, Etc. No practice, procedure or policy employed or proposed to be employed by RMS or REO Subsidiary in the conduct of its businesses violates any law, regulation, judgment, agreement, regulatory consent, order or decree applicable to it which, if enforced, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(i)    Solvency. Seller is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to each such Transaction, Seller will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. Seller does not intend to incur, nor believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Seller is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Seller or any of its assets.
(j)    Fraudulent Conveyance. The amount of consideration being received by Seller in respect of each Transaction, taken as a whole, constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the related Purchased Assets. Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors. The Agreement and the Program Documents, any other document contemplated hereby or thereby and each transaction have not been entered into fraudulently by Seller hereunder, or with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor or the Purchaser.
(k)    Investment Company Act Compliance. Neither RMS nor any of its Subsidiaries (including the REO Subsidiary) is required to be registered as an “investment company” as defined under the Investment Company Act or is an entity “controlled by” an entity required to be registered as an “investment company” as defined under the Investment Company Act. REO Subsidiary (i) is not required to register under the Investment Company Act based upon the exemption provided by Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act (although other exemptions or exclusions may be applicable), and (ii) is not a “covered fund” within the meaning of the final regulations issued December 10, 2013, implementing Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, commonly known as the “Volcker Rule”. 
(l)    Taxes. Each of RMS and REO Subsidiary has timely filed all federal and state tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes, including any assessments received by it, to the extent that such taxes have become due (other than for taxes that are being contested in good faith and for which it has established adequate reserves). Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges payable by Seller in connection with a Transaction and the execution and delivery of the Program Documents have been paid.


- 33 -







(m)    Additional Representations. With respect to each Eligible Mortgage Loan to be sold hereunder by Seller to Purchaser, Seller hereby makes all of the applicable representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B as of the date the related Mortgage File is delivered to Purchaser or the Custodian with respect to the Eligible Mortgage Loans and continuously while such Eligible Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction. Further, as of each Purchase Date, Seller shall be deemed to have represented and warranted in like manner that Seller has no knowledge that any such representation or warranty may have ceased to be true in a material respect as of such date, except as otherwise stated in a written notice to the Purchaser, any such exception to identify the applicable representation or warranty and specify in reasonable detail the related knowledge of Seller.
(n)    No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for the Purchaser, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that if Seller has dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for the Purchaser, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement, such commission or compensation shall have been paid in full by Seller.
(o)    Good Title. Seller has not sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated any interest in the REO Asset or any individual Mortgage Loan or REO Property subject to a Transaction to any person other than any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or hypothecation that is released in conjunction with the sale to Purchaser or REO Subsidiary hereunder, and upon delivery of a Purchased Asset to Purchaser, Purchaser will be the sole owner thereof (other than for tax and accounting purposes), free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance other than those arising under this Agreement.
(p)    Approvals. RMS has all requisite Approvals and RMS shall have provided evidence, satisfactory to the Purchaser and Agent, that RMS’s Approvals are in good standing.
(q)    Custodian. The Custodian is not an Affiliate of Seller.
(r)    No Adverse Actions. RMS has not received from the Agency a notice of extinguishment or a notice indicating material breach, default or material non-compliance which the Agent reasonably determines may entitle the Agency to terminate, suspend, sanction or levy penalties against RMS, or a notice from the Agency, HUD or FHA indicating any adverse fact or circumstance in respect of RMS which the Agent reasonably determines may entitle the Agency, HUD or FHA, as the case may be, to revoke any Approval or otherwise terminate, suspend RMS as an Agency approved issuer or servicer, or with respect to which such adverse fact or circumstance has caused any of the Agency, HUD or FHA, as the case may be, to terminate RMS, without any subsequent rescission thereof in such notice.
(s)    Affiliated Parties. Seller is not an Affiliate of the Custodian or any other party to a Program Document hereunder other than the Guarantor and the other Seller. 
(t)    REO Subsidiary. The Membership Certificate represents 100% of the beneficial ownership of the REO Subsidiary, and the REO Subsidiary continues to hold legal title to all REO Property related to foreclosures of HECM Buyout Loans that are subject to a Transaction. 
The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser and shall continue for so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement.

(x)    Agency Status. Once RMS or any of its subservicers has obtained any status with any of the Agency’s mortgage loan pools for which RMS is issuer or servicer, RMS shall not take or omit to take any act that (i) would result in the suspension or loss of any of such status, or (ii) after which RMS or any such relevant subservicer would no longer be in good standing with respect to such status, or (iii) after which RMS or any such relevant subservicer would no longer satisfy all applicable Agency net worth requirements, if both (x) all of the material effects of such act or 


- 41 -







omission shall not have been cured by RMS or waived by the Agency before termination of such status and (y) the termination of such status could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(y)    Further Documents. Seller shall, upon request of Purchaser or Agent, promptly execute and deliver to Purchaser or Agent all such other and further documents and instruments of transfer, conveyance and assignment, and shall take such other action as Purchaser or Agent may require more effectively to transfer, convey, assign to and vest in Purchaser and to put Purchaser in possession of the Property to be transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered hereunder and otherwise to carry out more effectively the intent of the provisions under this Agreement.

	REPURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS


Upon discovery by Seller of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit B to this Agreement, Seller shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Purchaser and Agent. Upon any such discovery by Purchaser, Purchaser will notify Seller. It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement with respect to the Eligible Mortgage Loans shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or Custodian with respect to the Eligible Mortgage Loans and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser. The fact that the Purchaser have conducted or have failed to conduct any partial or complete due diligence investigation in connection with its purchase of any Eligible Mortgage Loan shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to demand repurchase or any other remedy as provided under this Agreement.

If within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of Seller’s discovery of such breach or delivery failure or receipt of notice thereof that such breach or delivery failure has not been remedied by Seller, Seller shall promptly upon receipt of written instructions from the Purchaser, at Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Eligible Mortgage Loan at a purchase price equal to the Repurchase Price with respect to such Eligible Mortgage Loan by wire transfer to the account designated by Purchaser.

	SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS; SERVICER TERMINATION


(a)    RMS to Subservice.
(i)    Upon payment of the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall own the servicing rights related to the Mortgage Loans including the Mortgage File. RMS and Purchaser agree and acknowledge that the Mortgage Loans sold hereunder shall be sold to Purchaser on a servicing-released basis, and that Purchaser is engaging and hereby does engage RMS to provide subservicing of each Mortgage Loan and REO Property for the benefit of Purchaser.


- 42 -







(ii)    So long as a Mortgage Loan is subject to a Transaction or an REO Property is owned by the REO Subsidiary, RMS shall neither assign, encumber or pledge its obligation to subservice the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties in whole or in part, nor delegate its rights or duties under this Agreement (to other than a subservicer) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and Agent, the granting of which consent shall be in the sole discretion of Purchaser and Agent. RMS hereby acknowledges and agrees that (A) the Purchaser is entering into this Agreement in reliance upon RMS’s representations as to the adequacy of its financial standing, servicing facilities, personnel, records, procedures, reputation and integrity, and the continuance thereof; and (B) RMS’s engagement hereunder to provide mortgage servicing for the benefit of the Purchaser is intended by the parties to be a “personal service contract” and RMS is hereunder intended by the parties to be an “independent contractor”.
(iii)    RMS shall subservice and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on behalf of the Purchaser in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. RMS shall have no right to modify or alter the terms of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the modification or alteration of the terms of any Mortgage Loan except in Strict Compliance with the related Agency Program. RMS shall at all times maintain accurate and complete records of its servicing of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, and Agent may, at any time during RMS’s business hours on reasonable notice, examine and make copies of such Servicing Records. RMS agrees that the Purchaser is the 100% beneficial owner of all Servicing Records relating to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. RMS covenants to hold or cause to be held such Servicing Records for the benefit of the Purchaser and to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Agent or its designee (including the Custodian) at Agent’s request or otherwise as required by operation of this Section 16.
(b)    Servicing Term. RMS shall subservice such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for a term of thirty (30) days commencing as of the related Purchase Date, which term may be extended in writing by Agent in its sole discretion, for an additional thirty-day period (each, a “Servicing Term”); provided, that the Purchaser and/or Agent shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer at any time following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event. If such Servicing Term is not extended by Agent or if the Purchaser or Agent has terminated RMS as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, RMS shall transfer such servicing to the Purchaser or its designee at no cost or expense to Purchaser as provided in Section 14(t). RMS shall hold or cause to be held all Escrow Payments collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans in segregated accounts for the sole benefit of the Mortgagor and shall apply the same for the purposes for which such funds were collected. If RMS should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, it has failed to perform fully its servicing obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties, RMS shall promptly notify the Purchaser and Agent.
(c)    Servicing Reports. Within five (5) Business Days after the end of each month, and as requested by Purchaser and/or Agent from time to time, RMS shall furnish to the Purchaser, Agent and Verification Agent reports in form and scope satisfactory to the Purchaser, setting forth (i) data regarding the performance of the individual Mortgage Loans, (ii) a summary report of all Mortgage Loans serviced by RMS and originated pursuant to the Agency Guide, HUD and/or FHA guidelines (on a portfolio basis) and all REO Properties serviced by RMS, in each case, for the immediately preceding month, including, without limitation, all collections, delinquencies, defaults, 


- 43 -







defects, claim rates, losses and recoveries and (iii) any other information reasonably requested by Purchaser, Agent or Verification Agent.
(d)    Backup Servicer. The Agent, in its sole discretion, may appoint a backup servicer at any time during the term of this Agreement. In such event, RMS shall commence monthly delivery to such backup servicer of the servicing information required to be delivered to the Purchaser and Agent pursuant to Section 16(c) hereof and any other information reasonably requested by backup servicer, all in a format that is reasonably acceptable to such backup servicer. The Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses of such backup servicer, including, but not limited to all fees of such backup servicer in connection with the processing of such information and the maintenance of a servicing file with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties. RMS shall cooperate fully with such backup servicer in the event of a transfer of servicing hereunder and will provide such backup servicer with all documents and information necessary for such backup servicer to assume the servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties.
(e)    Collection Account. On or prior to May 22, 2017, RMS shall establish and maintain the Collection Account with the Bank in the Purchaser’s name for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Purchaser. The Servicer shall deposit or credit (or cause to be deposited or credited) to the appropriate Collection Account all amounts collected on account of the related Mortgage Loans and REO Properties within two (2) Business Days of receipt and remit such collections in accordance with Section 16(f) hereof. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such amounts shall be deposited or credited irrespective of any right of setoff or counterclaim arising in favor of RMS (or any third party claiming through it) under any other agreement or arrangement. Amounts on deposit in a Collection Account shall be distributed as provided in Section 16(f). 
(f)    Income Payments.
(i)    Where a particular term of a Transaction extends over the date on which Income is paid in respect of any Purchased Asset subject to that Transaction, Income collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be the Property of the Purchaser subject to subsections 16(f)(ii) and (iii) below. The Collection Account shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Collection Account Control Agreement from and after the date of such Collection Account Control Agreement.
(ii)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 16(f)(iv), on the Monthly Payment Date, the Purchaser shall cause amounts deposited in its respective Collection Account to be released to RMS, which amounts shall be applied by RMS to (A) reduce outstanding Price Differential due and payable in respect of Purchased Assets for which the Purchaser has received the related Repurchase Price (other than Price Differential) pursuant to Section 3(f) during the prior calendar month, (B) reduce the Repurchase Price for all outstanding Transactions, and (C) pay all other Obligations then due and payable to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, RMS can remit on a more frequent basis with the written consent of the Purchaser and the Agent. 
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Collection Account Control Agreements to the contrary, RMS shall in no event be permitted to withdraw funds from the Collection Account to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit (unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith RMS cures such Margin Deficit in 


- 44 -







accordance with Section 7), or if an Event of Default is then continuing. Further, if an uncured Margin Deficit exists as of such Monthly Payment Date, RMS shall cause the Bank to disburse the Income related to the Transaction for which the Margin Deficit exists to the Purchaser (up to the amount of such Margin Deficit), which amounts shall be applied by Purchaser to reduce the related Repurchase Price.
(iv)    If a successor servicer takes delivery of such Mortgage Loans and rights to service such REO Properties either under the circumstances set forth in Section 16(i) or otherwise, all amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be paid to the Purchaser promptly upon such delivery.
(g)    [Reserved].
(h)    With respect to each Eligible Mortgage Loan, RMS shall (i) (A) with respect to each Eligible Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction occurring on or before May 22, 2017, revise or amend the current U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s form for Single-Family Application for Insurance Benefits, as necessary, to remove all references relating to Sutton Funding LLC and “30565-0000-6” and (B) with respect to each Eligible Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction occurring after May 22, 2017, complete the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s form for Single-Family Application for Insurance Benefits in its own name, (ii) ensure the details for such Mortgage Loan on the Home Equity Reverse Mortgage Information Technology (HERMIT) servicing system reflect that the Investor Name in the “Servicer Information” section provides RMS’s name, (iii) service such Mortgage Loan in Strict Compliance with all FHA requirements and (iv) deposit all FHA claims payments on such Mortgage Loan into the Collection Account of the Purchaser within two (2) Business Days receipt thereof.
(i)    Servicer Termination. Agent, in its sole discretion, may terminate RMS’s rights and obligations as subservicer of the affected Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and require RMS to deliver the related Servicing Records to Agent or its designee upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) upon the expiration of the Servicing Term as set forth in Section 16(b) by delivering written notice to RMS requiring such termination. Such termination shall be effective upon RMS’s receipt of such written notice; provided, that RMS’s subservicing rights shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, regardless of whether notice of such event shall have been given to or by Agent, Purchaser or RMS. Upon any such termination, all authority and power of RMS respecting its rights to subservice and duties under this Agreement relating thereto, shall pass to and be vested in the successor servicer appointed by Agent and Agent is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer such rights to subservice the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for such price and on such terms and conditions as Agent shall reasonably determine. RMS shall promptly take such actions and furnish to Agent such documents that Agent deems necessary or appropriate to enable Agent to enforce such Mortgage Loans and manage such REO Properties and shall perform all acts and take all actions so that the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and all files and documents relating to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties held by RMS, together with all escrow amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, are delivered to the successor servicer, including but not limited to preparing, executing and delivering to the successor servicer any and all documents and other instruments, placing in the successor servicer’s possession all Servicing Records pertaining to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and doing or causing to be done, all at RMS’s sole expense. To the extent that the approval of the Agency is required for any such sale or transfer, RMS shall fully cooperate with Agent to 


- 45 -







obtain such approval. All amounts paid by any purchaser of such rights to service or subservice the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be the Property of the Purchaser. The subservicing rights required to be delivered to the successor servicer in accordance with this Section 16(i) shall be delivered free of any servicing rights in favor of RMS or any third party (other than the Purchaser) and free of any title, interest, lien, encumbrance or claim of any kind of RMS other than record title to the Mortgages relating to the Mortgage Loans and the right and obligation to repurchase the Mortgage Loans hereunder or remove the related REO Properties from the REO Subsidiary. No exercise by Agent or the Purchaser of their rights under this Section 16(i) shall relieve RMS of responsibility or liability for any breach of this Agreement.

	REMEDIES


Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default (other than that referred to in Section 17(f)), the Purchaser, at its option, shall have the right to exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies and (ii) an Event of Default referred to in Section 17(f), the following rights and remedies shall immediately and automatically take effect without any further action by any Person. 
(a)    (i)    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). Seller’s Obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and payable; all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be remitted to and retained by Purchaser and applied to the aggregate Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder; Seller shall immediately deliver to the Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee any and all original papers, records and files relating to the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction then in its possession and/or control; and all right, title and interest in and entitlement to such Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights thereon shall become Property of the Purchaser.
(ii)    The Purchaser may (A) sell, on or following the Business Day following the date on which the Repurchase Price becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 18(a)(i) without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices as the Purchaser may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all or portions of the Purchased Assets on a servicing-released or servicing-retained basis, as the Purchaser may determine in its sole discretion and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets (including credit for the Servicing Rights in respect of sales on a servicing-retained basis) in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. Seller shall remain liable to the Purchaser for any amounts that remain owing to the Purchaser following a sale and/or credit under the preceding sentence. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and expenses including but not limited to legal fees incurred by 


- 48 -







either Purchaser in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default; second to costs of cover and/or related hedging transactions; third to the aggregate Repurchase Prices; and fourth to all other Obligations.
(iii)    The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of these characteristics of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, the Purchaser may elect the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Asset and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Purchaser to liquidate any Purchased Asset upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement agree that the Transactions have been entered into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual obligation and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions.
(iv)    The Purchaser may terminate the Agreement.
(b)    Seller hereby acknowledges, admits and agrees that Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are recourse obligations of Seller. In addition to its rights hereunder, the Purchaser shall have the right to proceed against any of Seller’s assets which may be in the possession of Purchaser, any of Purchaser’s Affiliates or their designees (including the Custodian), including the right to liquidate such assets and to set-off the proceeds against monies owed by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser may set off cash, the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Additional Purchased Mortgage Loans and all other sums or obligations owed by Purchaser to Seller or against all of Seller’s Obligations to Purchaser, or Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Purchaser’s right to recover any deficiency.
(c)    The Purchaser shall have the right to obtain physical possession of the Records and all other files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser such assignments as Purchaser shall request.
(d)    The Purchaser shall have the right to direct all Persons servicing the Purchased Assets to take such action with respect to the Purchased Assets as Purchaser determines appropriate, including, without limitation, using its rights under a power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof.
(e)    The Purchaser shall, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, be entitled to the appointment of a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the Purchased Assets or any portion thereof, and do anything that Purchaser is authorized hereunder to do. Seller shall pay all costs and 


- 49 -







expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the appointment and activities of such receiver, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.
(f)    The Purchaser may, at its option, enter into one or more hedging transactions covering all or a portion of the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall be responsible for all damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Purchaser relating to or arising out of such hedging transactions; including without limitation any losses resulting from such hedging transactions, and such shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder.
(g)    In addition to all the rights and remedies specifically provided herein, the Purchaser shall have all other rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign and local laws, whether existing at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies available to a purchaser/secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right to exercise any of its rights and/or remedies without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, other than as expressly set forth herein, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller.
The Purchaser may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Seller might otherwise have to require Purchaser to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have to the Obligations, or any guaranty thereof, arising from use of non-judicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Purchased Assets or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that non-judicial 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.
Seller shall cause all sums received by it with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited in the appropriate Collection Account promptly upon receipt thereof but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours thereafter. Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser for the amount of all losses, costs and/or expenses (plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Default Rate) which Purchaser may sustain or incur in connection with hedging transactions relating to the Purchased Assets, conduit advances and payments for mortgage insurance.
		
	19.
	DELAY NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE


No failure on the part of Purchaser to exercise, and no delay by Purchaser in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Purchaser of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser provided for herein are cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Program Documents and the other instruments and agreements contemplated hereby and thereby, and are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Purchaser to exercise any of its rights under any other related document. The Purchaser may exercise at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default one or more remedies permitted hereunder, as it so desires, and may thereafter at any time and from time to time exercise any other remedy or remedies permitted hereunder.

(a)    RMS and REO Subsidiary agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, Agent and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is incurred within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice therefor) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, Taxes, increased costs and all other reasonable expenses including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and audit and due diligence fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, solely relating to claims of third parties, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including without limitation, in connection with) (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) relating to, resulting from or arising out of any of the Program Documents and all other documents related thereto, any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty or covenant in this Agreement or any other Program Document, and all actions taken pursuant thereto, (ii) the Transactions, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, any acquisition or proposed acquisition, or any indemnity payable under the servicing agreement or other servicing arrangement, (iii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any Property or any environmental action relating in any way to any Property, (iv) the actual or alleged violation of any federal, state, municipal or local predatory lending laws, or (v) the reduction of the Principal Balance due to a cram down or similar action authorized by any bankruptcy proceeding or other case arising out of or relating to any petition under the Bankruptcy Code, in each case, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non‐appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or is the result of a claim made by Seller against the Indemnified Party, and Seller is ultimately the successful party in any resulting litigation or arbitration. Seller hereby agrees not to assert any claim against either Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Program Documents, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. 
(b)    If Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of Seller by Purchaser, in its sole discretion and Seller shall remain liable for any such payments by Purchaser and such amounts shall be deemed part of the Obligations hereunder. No such payment by Purchaser shall be deemed a waiver of any of Purchaser’s rights under the Program Documents.
(c)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the covenants and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 21 shall survive the payment in full 


- 51 -

	22.
	WAIVER OF REDEMPTION AND DEFICIENCY RIGHTS


Seller hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, every statute of limitation on a deficiency judgment, any reduction in the proceeds of any Purchased Assets as a result of restrictions upon Purchaser or Custodian contained in the Program Documents or any other instrument delivered in connection therewith, and any right that they may have to direct the order in which any of the Purchased Assets shall be disposed of in the event of any disposition pursuant hereto.
		
	23.

(a)    Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Purchaser and Agent in connection with the initial and subsequent negotiation, modification, renewal and amendment of the Program Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all collateral review and UCC search and filing fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for the Purchaser and Agent with respect to advising the Purchaser and Agent as to their rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under this Agreement and any other Program Document, with respect to negotiations with Seller or with other creditors of Seller arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto). Seller agrees to pay on demand, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (and fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s and Agent’s outside counsel) expended or incurred by the Purchaser, Agent and/or Custodian in connection with the modification, renewal, amendment and enforcement (including any waivers) of the Program Documents (regardless of whether a Transaction is entered into hereunder), the taking of any action, including legal action, required or permitted to be taken by Purchaser, Agent (without duplication to Purchaser and Agent) and/or Custodian pursuant thereto or by refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a “workout.” Further, Seller agrees to pay, with interest at the Default Rate to the extent that an Event of Default has occurred, all costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (and fees and disbursements of Purchaser’s and Agent’s outside counsel) expended or incurred by the Purchaser and Agent in connection with (a) the rendering of legal advice as to such party’s rights, remedies and obligations under any of the Program Documents, (b) the collection of any sum which becomes due to Purchaser under any Program Document, (c) any proceeding for declaratory relief, any counterclaim to any proceeding, or any appeal, or (d) the protection, preservation or enforcement of any rights of Purchaser. For the purposes of this Section 23(a), attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with the following: (1) discovery; (2) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or case arising out of or relating to any petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, as the same shall be in effect from time to time, or any similar law; (3) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (4) post-judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment.

(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement and at law, the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) by Seller hereunder or under any other agreement entered into between Seller or any of its Affiliates on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates on the other hand, to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all Property and deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, or any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, or any other collateral (in the case of collateral not in the form of cash or such other marketable or negotiable form, by selling such collateral in a recognized market therefor or as otherwise permitted by law or as may be in accordance with custom, usage or trade practice), in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller of any of its Affiliates. The Purchaser may also set-off cash and all other sums or obligations owed by Purchaser or its Affiliates to Seller or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other) against all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser or its Affiliates (whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the parties or between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the other), whether or not such obligations are then due. The exercise of any such right of set-off shall be without prejudice to Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s right to recover any deficiency. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

The Purchaser or Agent shall notify Seller of any such assignment and participation and shall maintain, for review by Seller upon written request, a register of assignees and participants and a copy of any executed assignment and acceptance by Purchaser or Agent and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. The Seller agrees that, for any such permitted assignment, Seller will cooperate with the prompt execution and delivery of documents reasonably necessary for such assignment process to the extent that Seller incurs no cost or expense that is not paid by the Purchaser or Agent, as applicable. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Document 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 the Purchaser or Agent hereunder, and (b) the Purchaser or Agent shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it to either (i) an Affiliate of the Purchaser or Agent which assumes the obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder or (ii) to another Person which assumes the obligations of Purchaser or Agent hereunder, be released from their obligations hereunder accruing thereafter and under the Program Documents.
(c)    The Purchaser and Agent may distribute to any prospective assignee, participant or pledgee any document or other information delivered to the Purchaser and/or Agent by Seller subject to the confidentiality restrictions contained in Section 35 hereof; accordingly, such prospective

Seller, the Purchaser and Agent each hereby acknowledge and agree that all written or computer-readable information provided by one party to the other in connection with the Program Documents or the Transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation, Seller’s Mortgagor information in the possession of Purchaser shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any party without the prior written consent of such other party except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s direct and indirect parent companies, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants, provided that such attorneys or accountants likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of confidentiality, or are otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions or (ii) with prior (if feasible) written notice to the Purchaser, disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or (iii) with prior (if feasible) written notice to the Purchaser, disclosure to any approved hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Hedge Instrument hereunder or (iv) with prior 


- 58 -







(if feasible) written notice to the Purchaser, any disclosures or filing required under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or state securities’ laws; provided that Seller may file a version of the Pricing Side Letter that is redacted to omit the related pricing information (as mutually agreed to by Seller and the Purchaser) and shall submit a request (together with an unredacted version of the Pricing Side Letter) with the SEC and each applicable state securities office to keep such pricing information confidential. In the event that the SEC or applicable state securities office rejects such confidentiality request with respect to the Pricing Side Letter, Seller may file an unredacted version of the Pricing Side Letter with the SEC and any applicable state securities office, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of each party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, tax treatment and tax structure shall not include (i) the identity of any existing or future party (or any Affiliate of such party) to this Agreement or (ii) any specific pricing information or other commercial terms, including the amount of any fees, expenses, rates or payments arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller, the Purchaser and 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 Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement, including information relating to any Mortgage Loan that is not purchased hereunder and information relating to any other Mortgage Loans of Seller that is delivered to Purchaser or Agent by another lender under an intercreditor agreement or other agreement (the “Confidential Information”). Seller, the Purchaser and Agent understand that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and each agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. Seller, the Purchaser and Agent shall each 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 GLB Act) of such party or any Affiliate of such party which that party holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information. Seller, the Purchaser and Agent shall, at a minimum establish and maintain such data security program as is necessary to meet the objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 12 C.F.R.

Without limitation, this may include the requesting party’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of the non-requesting party. Seller, the Purchaser and Agent each shall notify the other 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 non-notifying party or any Affiliate of the non-notifying party provided directly to the notifying party by the non-notifying party or such Affiliate. The notifying

Any such diligence conducted by Purchaser, Agent and/or Verification Agent shall not reduce or limit the Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein.

(b)    (i) Seller will not knowingly conduct business with or engage in any transaction with any Obligor that the Seller or any originator of a Purchased Asset knows, after reasonable due diligence, (x) is named on any of the OFAC Lists or is located, organized, or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government currently is, the target of countrywide sanctions imposed by OFAC; (y) is owned, directly or indirectly, or otherwise controlled, by a Person named on any OFAC List; (ii) if the Seller obtains actual knowledge, after reasonable due diligence, that any Obligor is named on any of the OFAC Lists or that any Person named on an OFAC List owns an equity interest in, directly or indirectly, or otherwise controls, the Obligor, or the Seller, as applicable, Seller will give prompt written notice to the Purchaser and Agent of such fact or facts; and (iii) the Seller will (x) comply at all times with the requirements of the Economic and Trade Sanctions and Anti-Terrorism Laws applicable to any transactions, dealings or other actions relating to this Agreement, except to the extent such non-compliance does not result in a violation of applicable law by any of the Purchaser or Agent and (y) will, upon Purchaser’s or Agent’s reasonable request from time to time during the term of this Agreement, deliver a certification confirming its compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section 37.
		
	38.
	JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF SELLERS


(a) Each of REO Subsidiary and RMS shall be jointly and severally liable for the rights, covenants, obligations and warranties and representations of REO Subsidiary and RMS as contained herein and the actions of any Person or third party shall in no way affect such joint and several liability.

A Seller’s subrogation claim arising from payments to Purchaser or Agent shall constitute a capital investment in another Seller (1) subordinated to any claims of the Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, and (2) equal to a ratable share of the equity interests in such Seller.

NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR TRANSFER
OF SERVICING RIGHTS
You are hereby notified that the servicing of your mortgage loan, that is the right to collect payments from you, is being assigned, sold or transferred.
The assignment, sale or transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loan does not affect any term or condition of the mortgage instruments, other than the terms directly related to the servicing of your loan.
Except in limited circumstances, the law requires that your present servicer send you a notice at least 15 days before the effective date, or at closing. Your new servicer must also send you this notice no later than 15 days after this effective date.
This notification is a requirement of Section 6 of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) (12 U.S.C. 2605). You should also be aware of the following information, which is set out in more detail in Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605).
During the 60 day period following the effective date of the transfer of the loan servicing, a loan payment received by your old servicer before its due date may not be treated by the new loan servicer as late, and a late fee may not be imposed upon you.
Section 6 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2605) gives you certain consumer rights. If you send a “qualified written request” to your loan servicer concerning the servicing of your loan, your servicer must provide you with a written acknowledgement within 20 Business Days of receipt of your request. A “qualified written request” is written correspondence, other than notice on a payment coupon or other payment medium supplied by the servicer, which includes your name and account number and your reasons for the request. If you want to send a “qualified written request” regarding the servicing of your loan, it must be sent to this address:
___________________
[Address]
No later than 60 Business Days after receiving your request, your servicer must make any appropriate corrections to your account, and must provide you with a written clarification regarding any dispute. During this 60 Business Day period, your servicer may not provide information to a consumer reporting agency concerning any overdue payment related to such period or qualified written request. However, this does not prevent the servicer from initiating foreclosure if proper grounds exist under the mortgage documents.
A Business Day is any day excluding legal public holidays (State or federal), Saturday and Sunday.
Section 6 of RESPA also provides for damages and costs for individuals or classes of individuals, in circumstances where servicers are shown to have violated the requirements of that Section. You should seek legal advice if you believe your rights have been violated.
MIRANDA DISCLOSURE – For your protection, please be advised that we are attempting to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. Calls will be monitored and recorded for quality assurance purposes. If you do not wish for your call to be recorded please notify the customer service associate when calling.
