and the Company agree that the conveyance contemplated by Section 2.1 and the other 

provisions of this Agreement is intended to be an absolute conveyance and transfer of ownership

(b) The Initial Member shall be paid or reimbursed as soon as practicable after 

each Servicing Transfer Date for Interim Servicing Expenses and Pre-Approved Charges an 

Existing Servicer pays after the Cut-Off Date through the Servicing Transfer Date out of its own 

funds (rather than withdrawing such funds from the Collection Account or the Working Capital 

Reserve Account, requesting an advance pursuant to the Advance Facility or otherwise using 

Asset Proceeds to pay for the respective Interim Servicing Expenses or Pre-Approved Charges). 

Any such amounts for Interim Servicing Expenses or Pre-Approved Charges paid after the CutOff Date through the Servicing Transfer Date owed to but not reimbursed to the Initial Member 

on the Servicing Transfer Date for the respective Asset shall be reimbursed by the Company to 

the Initial Member on demand. 

(c) The Initial Member shall be responsible for reimbursing each third-party 

Existing Servicer for any payments made by such third-party Existing Servicer to fund Interim 

Servicing Expenses or Pre-Approved Charges with respect to an Asset, as well as for any 

advances of principal or interest or any other advances with respect to an Asset made by such 

third-party Existing Servicer. The Initial Member also shall be responsible for paying any fee 

owing to an Existing Servicer in connection with the termination of any servicing agreement 

with such Existing Servicer. 

Section 2.4 Adjustments. 

(a) The Private Owner shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, cooperate with 

the Initial Member in reconciling the amounts of advances made with respect to each Asset prior 

to the Servicing Transfer Date for such Asset to fund Interim Servicing Expenses, Pre-Approved 

Charges or otherwise. As soon as practicable after the respective Servicing Transfer Date, the 

Initial Member shall provide the Company with a statement setting forth, for each Asset that is 

the subject of such Servicing Transfer Date, the amount of all advances made with respect to 

such Asset prior to the Servicing Transfer Date for such Asset and the amount of any 

reimbursement of advances that the Initial Member has received from the respective Borrower or 

other Obligor. 

(b) As soon as practicable after each respective Servicing Transfer Date, the 

Initial Member shall provide the Company with a statement setting forth, for each Asset that is 

the subject of such Servicing Transfer Date, the Adjusted Unpaid Principal Balance, Adjusted 

Escrow Balance and the Unpaid Principal Balance as of the Servicing Transfer Date. Each such 

statement shall be accompanied by an explanation of the reasons for any adjustment to any CutOff Date Unpaid Principal Balance or Escrow Balance. 

(c) If the Adjusted Unpaid Principal Balance of any Asset exceeds the CutOff Date Unpaid Principal Balance of such Asset (such excess, the “Excess Principal”), the 

Private Owner shall be liable to the Initial Member for an amount equal to the Adjustment 

Percentage multiplied by the Excess Principal. If the Cut-Off Date Unpaid Principal Balance of 

any Asset exceeds the Adjusted Unpaid Principal Balance of any Asset (such deficiency, the 

“Principal Deficiency”), the Initial Member shall be liable to the Private Owner for an amount 

equal to the Adjustment Percentage multiplied by the Principal Deficiency. No adjustment will 

be made for any miscalculation of interest on any Asset.

(d) As soon as practicable after each Servicing Transfer Date, the aggregate 

amount owed by the Private Owner to the Initial Member pursuant to Section 2.4(c) (excluding 

the amount of any Interim Servicing Expenses or Pre-Approved Charges due to the Initial 

Member) shall be subtracted from the aggregate amount owed to the Private Owner by the Initial 

Member pursuant to Section 2.4(c). If the resulting amount is a positive number, the Initial 

Member shall pay such amount to the Private Owner, and if the resulting amount is a negative 

number, the Private Owner shall pay the absolute value of such amount to the Initial Member. In 

addition, an amount equal to the positive balance of any Escrow Accounts with respect to the 

relevant Group of Assets as of each Servicing Transfer Date shall be remitted to the Servicer 

(and shall not be considered to constitute Asset Proceeds pursuant to the LLC Operating 

Agreement or Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement). Any monies due to the Private Owner 

or the Initial Member pursuant to this Section with respect to a given Asset shall be paid on the 

respective Servicing Transfer Date. The Company shall adjust its records to reflect the Adjusted

defined in the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement), provided that the Private Owner is 

working diligently to locate the missing information or otherwise take such steps as might be 

necessary or appropriate to complete and submit the Transfer Document(s). The Initial Member

Asset Contribution and Sale Agreement 

468-004/AGR/2644024.18 
 

 

Initial Member shall have the right to proceed in compliance with the Initial Member’s usual and 

customary servicing and asset management standards and procedures, which servicing and asset 

management standards and procedures the Company consents to, acknowledges and accepts. 

(b) To provide for the orderly transfer of the servicing to the Company, the 

Initial Member will provide interim servicing of the Assets, or will maintain agreements with 

third-party Existing Servicers to provide interim servicing of the Assets, on the Company’s 

behalf for such Asset during the Interim Servicing Period, including provisions requiring that the 

Existing Servicers continue: (i) to receive payments and post them to the system of record; (ii)

schedule of payments processed; (iv) to make payments (whether from its own funds or 

otherwise) to fund Interim Servicing Expenses and Pre-Approved Charges; and (v) to provide 

payoff information to the Company and the Servicer regarding particular Assets, as applicable. 

The foregoing shall not limit the actions that the Initial Member may take with respect to any 

Asset prior to the respective Servicing Transfer Date, and absent necessary or appropriate 

direction from the Company with respect to the servicing of the Assets, the Initial Member may 

take such actions with respect to any Asset prior to the respective Servicing Transfer Date as is 

in compliance with the Initial Member’s usual and customary servicing standards and 

procedures, which servicing standards and procedures the Company consents to, acknowledges 

and accepts. In addition, unless the Company and the Initial Member agree otherwise, the Initial 

Member shall prepare and deliver the Monthly Reports (including the Distribution Date Reports) 

in accordance with the LLC Operating Agreement and the Custodial and Paying Agency 

Agreement for all Due Periods ending on or before the last day of the calendar month in which 

the last Servicing Transfer Date occurs. The Initial Member may engage agents of the Initial 

Member’s own choosing to perform such interim servicing. Each Existing Servicer shall be (and 

hereby is) authorized by the Company to use and withdraw funds from the Collection Account, 

the Working Capital Reserve Account and the Escrow Accounts and to request advances from 

the Advance Facility and Excess Working Capital Advances (if necessary) in the performance of 

the interim servicing duties pursuant to this Section 3.3 during the Interim Servicing Period if it 

so chooses (including with respect to the payment and satisfaction of any Interim Servicing 

Expenses or Pre-Approved Charges in full if the amount of Asset Proceeds it has collected and is 

retaining is insufficient to pay and satisfy such Interim Servicing Expenses or Pre-Approved 

Charges in full). Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.5(a) and Section 4.6, the Initial 

Member’s performance of this interim servicing shall cease with respect to each Group of Assets 

on the Servicing Transfer Date for such Group of Assets. For the Due Period in which the 

Servicing Transfer Date with respect to each Group of Assets occurs, the Initial Member will 

provide (or will cause the applicable Existing Servicer to provide) the Company with a statement 

setting forth for the period beginning on the first day of the Due Period and ending on the 

applicable Servicing Transfer Date (i) the amount of payments and other amounts received for 

each Asset to which such Servicing Transfer Date relates and (ii) the amount of payments made 

to fund Interim Servicing Expenses made but not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower or 

Obligor (including payments made from the applicable Existing Servicer’s own funds), which 

amounts are to be reimbursed in accordance with Section 2.3(b). Each such statement also shall 

include any amounts to be paid to the Initial Member on the respective Servicing Transfer Date 

pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4. This statement will be provided as soon as is reasonably

practicable after the Servicing Transfer Date, but in no event later than the due date for the 

regular Monthly Report for the month in which the Servicing Transfer Date occurs. 

(c) To facilitate communication among the Company, the Initial Member and 

the Existing Servicers, on the Closing Date (i) the Company shall designate (and the Private 

Owner shall cause the Company to designate) a principal contact person to whom the Initial 

Member and the Existing Servicers will be authorized to contact with inquiries and requests for 

guidance or direction concerning the Initial Member’s and the Existing Servicers’ interim 

servicing responsibilities and (ii) the Initial Member shall designate one or more principal 

contact persons whom the Company and the Servicer will be authorized to contact with inquiries, 

guidance or directions concerning the Initial Member’s and the Existing Servicers’ interim 

servicing responsibilities. 

(d) The Initial Member shall cause all Asset Proceeds received during the 

Interim Servicing Period (including any recoveries of advances) remaining after reimbursement 

or payment of Interim Servicing Expenses and Pre-Approved Charges to be remitted to the 

Collection Account on a monthly basis not later than two Business Days prior to the Distribution 

Date (as such term is defined in the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement) for such month. 

The Existing Servicers shall be (and hereby are) authorized by the Company to use Asset 

Proceeds with respect to any Group of Assets for which the Servicing Transfer Date has not 

occurred, prior to the time Asset Proceeds are required to be remitted to the Collection Account 

for payment or reimbursement of Interim Servicing Expenses and Pre-Approved Charges 

(including for the reimbursement of any advances that the Initial Member might make during the 

Interim Servicing Period). 

(e) In consideration of the services provided by the Initial Member with 

respect to each Group of Assets pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Company shall pay the Interim 

Servicing Fee to the Initial Member for each Due Period in which the Initial Member provides 

interim servicing with respect to such Group of Assets (including the Due Period in which the 

Servicing Transfer Date with respect to such Group of Assets occurs) in the manner described in 

the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement. The Interim Servicing Fee with respect to each 

Group of Assets will be calculated, earned and due as of the first day of each Due Period in 

which the Initial Member provides interim servicing with respect to such Group of Assets and 

will be payable on each Distribution Date pursuant to the provisions of the Custodial and Paying 

Agency Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any such Interim Servicing Fee payable prior to 

the last Servicing Transfer Date shall be net of any servicing fees payable to Existing Servicers 

and offset by them against Asset Proceeds. 

(f) The Company hereby ratifies any and all actions taken by the Initial 

Member in performance of interim servicing activities and functions prior to the Closing Date, 

including any oversight of the Existing Servicers and in connection with its role of Existing 

Servicer with respect to a Group of Assets. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the 

Initial Member is performing interim servicing functions for the Company as an accommodation 

to the Company and that the Initial Member shall not have any liability for any acts or omissions 

taken in connection therewith (other than to correct calculation, allocation or distribution errors).

acknowledges and agrees that it accepts and acquires the Assets subject to any agreements with 

collection agencies or contingency fee agreements with attorneys (in either case that are

of them) and are assignable, and assumes and agrees to fulfill all Obligations of the Initial 

Member and the Failed Bank thereunder.

acknowledges and agrees that, upon assumption of the Obligations with respect to the Assets, it 

assumes full responsibility for determining whether or not any such insurance or guarantees are 

in effect on the date of this Agreement and, with respect to those Assets with respect to which 

any such insurance or guarantee is in effect on the date of this Agreement, the Company 

acknowledges and agrees that, upon assumption of the Obligations with respect to the Assets, it 

assumes full responsibility for taking any and all actions as might be necessary to insure such 

insurance or guarantees remain in full force and effect. The Company acknowledges and agrees 

that, upon assumption of the Obligations with respect to the Assets, it assumes and agrees to 

fulfill all of the Initial Member’s and the Failed Banks’ Obligations under the contracts of 

insurance or guaranty. Any out-of-pocket fees due to any insurer or guarantor incurred by the 

Company (or the Manager or the Servicer for the benefit of the Company) to fulfill its 

obligations set forth in the preceding sentence shall constitute Pre-Approved Charges for 

purposes of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement. 

Section 4.4 Reporting to or for the Applicable Taxing Authorities. With respect to 

each Asset, the Initial Member shall be responsible for submitting all tax information returns 

with all applicable Governmental Authorities for all applicable periods prior to the respective 

Servicing Transfer Date, and the Company shall be responsible for submitting all tax information 

returns with all applicable Governmental Authorities for all applicable periods commencing with 

the respective Servicing Transfer Date. Information returns include reports on Internal Revenue 

Service Forms 1098 and 1099. The Company shall be responsible for submitting all information 

returns required under applicable Law of any Foreign Jurisdiction, to the extent such information 

returns are required to be filed by the Company or the Initial Member under such Law, relating 

to the Assets, for the calendar or tax year in which the Closing Date falls and thereafter. 

Section 4.5 Assets in Litigation. 

(a) (i) With respect to any Asset that is the subject of any type of pending 

litigation as of the Closing Date that consists solely of claims or actions based upon, arising out 

or involving Excluded Liabilities (“Excluded Liabilities Litigation”), the Company shall have 

no obligation to substitute its counsel to represent the Company’s interests in the Excluded 

Liabilities Litigation. In such case, the Initial Member shall retain all rights and obligations, and 

shall remain the real party-in-interest, with respect to and shall retain control over the Excluded 

Liabilities Litigation. With respect to any Asset that is the subject of any type of pending 

litigation that consists of both Excluded Liabilities Litigation and other claims or actions, that 

portion of any litigation that consists of Excluded Liabilities Litigation shall be bifurcated from 

such other claims or actions, with the Initial Member retaining all rights and obligations, and 

remaining the real party-in-interest, with respect to and shall retain control over the Excluded 

Liabilities Litigation and the Company substituting itself as the real party in interest and taking 

control of the remaining claims in the litigation as is provided otherwise in this Section 4.5. The 

Initial Member shall pay all of the costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with any such 

Excluded Liabilities Litigation, including all legal fees and expenses and court costs. The Initial 

Member’s determination whether or not pending litigation consists of Excluded Liabilities 

Litigation and the extent to which pending litigation consists of both Excluded Liabilities 

Litigation and other claims or actions shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes with 

respect to this Agreement.

(ii) With respect to any Asset that is the subject of any type of pending 

litigation as of the Closing Date other than pending litigation that consists entirely of Excluded 

Liabilities Litigation, the Company shall notify the FDIC’s Regional Counsel, 1601 Bryan 

Street, Dallas, Texas 75201-4586, within fifteen Business Days before the respective Servicing 

Transfer Date or such other date as is agreed to by the Initial Member and the Company, of the 

name of the attorney selected by the Company to represent the Company’s interests in the 

litigation. Before such date, the Company shall notify the clerk of the court or other appropriate 

official and all counsel of record that ownership of the Asset was transferred from the Initial 

Member to the Company. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.5(c) and 4.5(d), the Company 

shall have its attorney file appropriate pleadings and other documents and instruments with the 

court or other appropriate body before the respective Servicing Transfer Date, substituting the 

Company’s attorney for the Initial Member’s attorney, removing the Initial Member and the 

Failed Bank as a party to the litigation and substituting the Company as the real party-in-interest. 

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from retaining the same 

attorney retained by the Initial Member (or the Failed Bank) to handle such litigation with 

respect to the Assets, provided that, with respect to litigation referred to in Section 4.5(c), the 

Company shall not retain the same counsel that represents the Initial Member in connection with 

such litigation unless the FDIC’s Regional Counsel (referred to above) agrees in writing to such 

dual representation. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(b) (and the Company’s compliance 

with its obligations therein) and Section 4.5(d), in the event the Company fails, prior to the 

respective Servicing Transfer Date, to remove the Initial Member and the Failed Bank as parties 

to the litigation and substitute the Company as the real party-in-interest, (i) the Initial Member 

may, but shall have no obligation to, continue to pursue or defend such litigation on behalf of the 

Company and (ii) in the event the Initial Member does continue to pursue or defend such 

litigation, the Company shall be liable for and hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses 

incurred by the Initial Member in connection therewith, which expenses shall constitute 

Servicing Expenses. 

(b) If the Company is unable, as a matter of applicable Law or due to delays 

in court procedures and practices outside the control of the Company, to cause the Initial 

Member and the Failed Bank to be replaced by the Company as party-in-interest in any pending 

litigation as required by Section 4.5(a), the Company shall so notify the FDIC’s Regional 

Counsel, at the address specified above, no less than five Business Days before the respective 

Servicing Transfer Date and shall provide such evidence to such effect and stating the reasons 

for such failure. In any such event, (i) the Company shall cause its attorney to conduct such 

litigation at the Company’s expense, which expense shall constitute Servicing Expenses; (ii) the 

Company shall cause the removal of the Initial Member and the Failed Bank and substitution of 

the Company as party-in-interest in such litigation at the earliest time possible under applicable 

Law; (iii) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such litigation to be 

resolved by judgment or settlement in as reasonably efficient a manner as practical; (iv) the 

Initial Member shall cooperate with the Company and the Company’s attorney as reasonably 

required in the Initial Member’s sole judgment to bring such litigation or any settlement relating 

thereto to a reasonable and prompt conclusion; and (v) no settlement shall be agreed upon by the 

Company or its agents or counsel without the express prior written consent of the Initial 

Member, unless such settlement includes an irrevocable and complete waiver and release of any

and all potential claims against the Initial Member and the Failed Bank (and any predecessor 

thereto) in relation to such litigation or the subject Loans or Obligations by any Person asserting 

any claim in the litigation and any Borrower, and any and all losses, liabilities, claims, causes of 

action, damages, demands, taxes, fees, costs and expenses relating thereto shall be paid by the 

Company without recourse of any kind to the Initial Member or the Failed Bank (other than to 

the extent the same constitute Servicing Expenses). The Company shall provide to the Initial 

Member no later than twenty Business Days following the Closing Date a report showing the 

status of each pending litigation with respect to the replacement of the Company as the party-ininterest. The Company shall pay all of the costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with 

the actions required to be taken by it pursuant to Section 4.5(a) and this Section 4.5(b) (which 

expenses shall constitute Servicing Expenses), including all legal fees and expenses and court 

costs (which expenses shall constitute Servicing Expenses), and shall reimburse the Initial 

Member, upon demand, for all legal expenses the Initial Member incurs on or after the Cut-Off 

Date with respect to any such litigation, including costs incurred with the dismissal thereof or 

withdrawal therefrom (which costs incurred by the Initial Member shall constitute Servicing 

Expenses for purposes of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement). 

(c) In the event that there exists or is asserted against the Company after the 

Closing Date any Excluded Liability (and such claim or action is not based upon and does not 

arise out of any act or omission of or on behalf of the Company, the Private Owner or the 

Servicer), (i) the Company shall (A) notify the Initial Member, in writing in accordance with the 

notice provisions of Article VII, of such claim or action and (B) subject to the rights of the Initial 

Member set forth below, be responsible for and control and assume the investigation and/or 

defense of such claim or action on behalf of the Company and the Company’s interest in the 

Assets, at the Company’s expense and with counsel appointed by the Company; and (ii) the 

Initial Member shall be responsible for and control and assume any investigation and/or defense 

of the Initial Member and the Failed Bank, at the Initial Member’s own expense and with Initial 

Member’s own counsel. The Initial Member’s determination whether or not any claim or 

liability in any such litigation is an Excluded Liability and the extent to which any such litigation 

relates to both Excluded Liabilities and other claims or liabilities shall be conclusive and binding 

for all purposes with respect to this Agreement. The Company and the Initial Member shall 

cooperate in the defense of any such claim or action to the extent their interests are not in conflict 

and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work together to resolve or settle such claims or 

action in a manner that is mutually agreeable and in their respective best interests. The Company 

shall obtain the prior written approval of the Initial Member before ceasing to defend against any 

such claims or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Initial Member may at any time 

assume and control the defense of the Company in connection with any such claim or action at 

the Initial Member’s expense. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.5(d)(i) and (ii) below, the 

costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its defense of any claim or 

action described in this Section 4.5(c), including (I) reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses 

incurred to defend against (or investigate) the same or pursue counterclaims or cross-claims 

against other parties, (II) awards or judgments assessed against the Company with respect to any 

such claim or action, or (III) the costs of any settlements described in Section 4.5(d)(ii) below of 

such claim or action, shall constitute Servicing Expenses for purposes of the Custodial and 

Paying Agency Agreement.

(d) If, as a result of any claim or action subject to the provisions of Section 

4.5(c) above: 

(i) there is entered against the Company either (A) a final, nonappealable monetary judgment holding the Company liable for damages in excess of an amount 

equal to the Total Asset Valuation of the Asset relating to or that is the subject of such claim 

(such Asset, the “Affected Asset”) (such excess amount, the “Excess Damage Liability”), or 

(B) a final monetary judgment that is appealable, which the Initial Member agrees in writing 

need not be appealed further by the Company, and that imposes an Excess Damage Liability on 

the Company, or 

(ii) the Company enters into a final settlement agreement with the 

consent of the Initial Member (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), pursuant to which 

the Company is obligated to pay an Excess Damage Liability, 

then, in any such case described in Clause (i) or (ii) above, the Initial Member shall reimburse 

the Company for the Excess Damage Liability and the Initial Member shall be entitled, at its 

option, to repurchase the Affected Asset at its Repurchase Price in accordance with the 

repurchase provisions of Article VI; provided, however , that the Initial Member shall not be 

liable pursuant to this sentence for any liability imposed upon the Company that arises as a result 

of any act or omission of the Company or the Private Owner. 

(e) The provisions of Sections 4.5(a), 4.5(b), 4.5(c) and 4.5(d) are subject to 

the right of the Initial Member to retain claims pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement, 

including any such claims as might have been asserted in litigation pending as of the Closing 

Date, and (ii) do not modify in any manner the limitations on liabilities assumed by the Company 

pursuant to Section 2.2 or the definition of Excluded Liabilities. At the Initial Member’s 

discretion, litigation involving any such claims shall be bifurcated, with the Initial Member 

remaining the real party in interest and retaining control over (and being responsible for pursuing 

and bearing the related costs to pursue) claims retained by it pursuant to Section 2.7 and the 

Company substituting itself as the real party in interest and taking control of (and being 

responsible for pursuing and bearing the cost of pursuing) the remainder of the litigation. The 

Initial Member’s determination whether or not litigation consists of any such claims and the 

extent to which litigation consists of any such claims shall be conclusive and binding for all 

purposes with respect to this Agreement. 

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, any 

payments by the Company of Servicing Expenses pursuant to Section 4.5(c) shall be subject to 

the obligation of the Private Owner to reimburse the Initial Member pursuant to Section 4.6 of 

the LLC Operating Agreement. 

(g) Further notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, 

in the event that there is instituted any litigation challenging the repudiation of any obligation 

with respect to any Loan by the Initial Member and asserting that the Company has any liability 

arising from such repudiation, the Initial Member shall control and defend such litigation

(including any claims or actions against the Company) and pay all costs and expense in respect 

thereof. 

Section 4.6 Assets in Bankruptcy. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 3001 and 

3002, the Company shall take all actions necessary to file, prior to the respective Servicing 

Transfer Dates (i) proofs of claims in pending bankruptcy cases involving any Assets for which 

the Initial Member or the Failed Banks have not already filed a proof of claim, and (ii) all 

documents required by Rule 3001 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and to take all 

such similar actions as might be required in any relevant jurisdiction in any pending bankruptcy 

or insolvency case or proceeding in such jurisdiction involving any Asset in order to evidence 

and assert the Company’s rights. The Company shall prepare and provide to the Initial Member, 

on or prior to the respective Servicing Transfer Date, an Affidavit and Assignment of Claim in 

the form attached to this Agreement as Attachment D or any similar forms as might be required 

in any relevant Foreign Jurisdiction and shall be acceptable to the Initial Member, for each Asset 

where a Borrower or an Obligor with respect to such Asset is in bankruptcy as of the Closing 

Date. The Company hereby releases the Initial Member, the FDIC and the Failed Bank from any 

claim, demand, suit or cause of action the Company might have as a result of any action or 

inaction on the part of the Initial Member, the FDIC or the Failed Bank with respect to such 

Asset. In the event the Company fails, prior to the respective Servicing Transfer Date, to take 

the actions required by this Section 4.6, (a) the Initial Member may, but shall have no obligation 

to, file proofs of claim or other documents as the Initial Member determines to be necessary or 

appropriate to evidence and assert the Company’s rights and, (b) in the event the Initial Member 

does take any such actions, the Company shall be liable for and hereby agrees to pay all costs 

and expenses incurred by the Initial Member in connection therewith (which costs incurred by 

the Initial Member shall constitute Servicing Expenses for purposes of the Custodial and Paying 

Agency Agreement). The provisions of this Section are subject to the right of the Initial Member 

to retain claims pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement, including any such claims as might 

have been asserted in litigation pending as of the Closing Date. At the Initial Member’s 

discretion, litigation involving any such claims shall be bifurcated, with the Initial Member

pursuing and bearing the related costs to pursue) claims retained by it pursuant to Section 2.7 and 

the Company substituting itself as the real party-in-interest and taking control of (and being 

responsible for pursuing and bearing the cost of pursuing) the remaining claims in the litigation. 

Section 4.7 Asset-Related Insurance. On the Closing Date, (a) the Initial Member 

shall cause to be assigned, to the extent assignable, all existing insurance policies in respect of 

any Asset or the Collateral for any Asset; (b) the Company shall be responsible for having itself 

substituted as loss payee on all Asset-related insurance in which any Failed Bank or the Initial 

Member is currently listed as a loss payee; and (c) the Company shall cause to be put into place 

such insurance for the Assets and the Collateral for the Assets with respect to which the 

Borrower has failed to maintain required insurance, fire, hurricane, flood and hazard insurance 

with extended coverage as is customary in the area in which the Assets or Collateral is located 

and in such amounts and with such deductibles as, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, 

are prudent. Upon the cancellation after the Closing Date of any insurance policy maintained by 

the Initial Member or the Failed Bank with respect to any Asset and the receipt by the Company 

or the Initial Member of any refund of any premiums previously paid with respect thereto, such

balances, shall be transferred to the Company. The Company agrees to assume, undertake and 

discharge any and all Obligations of the holder of the Loans with respect to any Escrow Account 

and the maintenance of such Escrow Account and the Escrow Payments paid by or on account of 

the related Borrower. 

Section 4.9 Initial Member as Lead Lender in Asset Participations. The Company 

hereby agrees to assume the role of lead lender for any Asset Participations in which a portion of 

an Asset was participated to one or more Persons and in which the Initial Member or any of its

subject to any such contract to the Company. The costs and expenses of the Company (or the 

Manager or the Servicer for the benefit of the Company) for any title curative work, if required, 

shall constitute Pre-Approved Charges. 

Section 4.11 Acquired Property. The Company agrees to comply with all Obligations 

set forth in any Collateral Document relating to Acquired Property unless, in the opinion of the 

Company, complying with the Obligations pursuant to such Collateral Documents would not be

Member. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, the Initial Member may require the 

Company to prepare and furnish special warranty deeds and other applicable Transfer

Section 3.1 hereof, the Initial Member may require the Company to prepare and furnish 

applicable Transfer Documents for the Initial Member’s approval and execution.

of) the statute of limitations established under 12 U.S.C. Section l82l(d)(14). The Company 

acknowledges and agrees, however, that the assignment of any Asset, Asset Document or

the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, including those granted pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 

182l(d), 12 U.S.C. Section l823(e) and 12 U.S.C. Section 1825, all such rights and powers being

such right, power or privilege in any pending or future litigation involving any Asset transferred

responsibility and expense of securing from the appropriate source any intervening Mortgage 

Assignment or any other assignment to the Initial Member, the FDIC or the Failed Bank that 

might be missing from the Collateral Documents, but the costs thereof of the Company (or the 

Manager or the Servicer for the benefit of the Company) shall constitute Pre-Approved Charges 

for purposes of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement. 

Section 5.7 No Warranties or Representations as to Documents. The Initial 

Member makes no warranties or representations of any kind or nature as to the effectiveness or 

enforceability in any Foreign Jurisdiction of this Agreement or any other document or instrument 

delivered or prepared in connection herewith, whether or not prepared and executed in the forms 

provided herewith, all of such forms being provided for reference only.

Article VI
 

Repurchase by Initial Member at Company’s Option
 

Section 6.1 Repurchases at Company’s Option. The Company, at its option, and 

upon satisfaction of the procedures and other requirements set forth below, may require the 

Initial Member to repurchase an Asset, if, and only if, (x) prior to the Closing Date, one of the 

events described in Section 6.1(a) through (h) has occurred or (y) after the Closing Date, (i) there 

is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such Asset a final, non-appealable 

order or judgment or there is entered into, with the consent of the Initial Member, a final 

settlement of any claim, action or litigation (the “Order”) that requires the assignment and 

transfer of such Asset back to the Initial Member (unless the Initial Member has agreed in 

writing that no appeal need be taken), or (ii) the circumstances with respect to 

described in Section 2.10(b) have occurred. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE OCCURRENCE OF 

ANY SUCH EVENT OR THE OBLIGATION TO REPURCHASE AN ASSET PURSUANT 

TO THIS ARTICLE VI BE EVIDENCE OF ANY BAD FAITH, MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD 

ON THE PART OF THE INITIAL MEMBER, THE FDIC OR THE FAILED BANK OR ANY 

PREDECESSOR-IN-INTEREST OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF, OR ANY OF THEIR 

RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS, 

EVEN IF IT IS SHOWN THAT THE INITIAL MEMBER, THE FDIC OR THE FAILED 

BANK OR ANY PREDECESSOR-IN-INTEREST OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF, OR ANY 

OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, CONTRACTORS OR 

AGENTS, (A) KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE EXISTENCE OF ANY FACTS 

RELATING TO THE OCCURRENCE OF SUCH EVENT, (B) CAUSED SUCH EVENT OR 

(C) FAILED TO MITIGATE SUCH EVENT OR ANY OF THE LOSSES RESULTING 

THEREFROM. 

(a) If the Asset is a Loan, the Borrower had been discharged in a no asset 

bankruptcy proceeding, there is no Collateral securing such Loan and out of which such Loan 

may be satisfied, and all other Obligors with respect to the Note, if any, or the obligations 

contained therein, have similarly been discharged in no asset bankruptcies. 

(b) If the Asset is a Loan, a court of competent jurisdiction had entered a final, 

non-appealable judgment or order (unless the Initial Member has agreed in writing that no appeal 

need be taken other than a bankruptcy decree or judicial foreclosure order) holding that neither 

the Borrower nor any other Obligors, owe an enforceable obligation to pay the holder of the Note 

or its assignees. 

(c) If the Asset is a Loan, the Initial Member or the Failed Bank had executed 

and delivered to the Borrower a release of liability from all obligations under the Note. 

(d) A title defect exists in connection with the property that is the subject of a 

Contract for Deed, which title defect requires a prior order or judgment of a court to enable the 

Company to convey title to such property in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth 

in the Contract for Deed.

(e) The Initial Member is not the owner of the Asset (or, in the case of an 

Asset Participation, the Initial Member is not the owner of the pro rata interest in such Asset 

Participation set forth on the Asset Schedule) and such is not curable by the Initial Member so as 

to permit ownership of the Asset to be transferred to the Company. 

(f) For any Asset other than and 

 to which Assets this Section 6.1(f) does not apply, there exists Environmental 

Hazards, in which case the Company’s recourse with respect to this Section 6.1(f) shall be 

conditioned upon: (i) the presence of Environmental Hazards not being disclosed in the Asset 

Documents, Asset File or other material provided by the FDIC to the Private Owner prior to 

submission of the Bid; (ii) such Asset having an Adjusted Unpaid Principal Balance greater than 

$250,000.00; and (iii) the Company delivering, along with the notice required by Section 6.2, the 

following, each of which must be satisfactory in form and substance to the Initial Member in its 

discretion: 

(i) A Phase I environmental assessment, from a qualified and 

reputable firm, of the Acquired Property or the Mortgaged Property securing such Loan, as the 

case might be, and 

(ii) A Phase II environmental assessment or lead-based paint survey of 

such Acquired Property or Collateral from a qualified and reputable firm, which assessment shall 

confirm (A) the existence of Environmental Hazards on such Acquired Property or Mortgaged 

Property and (B) that the regulator is likely to require such remediation; and, 

(iii) written certification of the Company under penalty of perjury that 

no action has been taken by or on behalf of the Company, with respect to a Loan, (A) to initiate 

foreclosure proceedings or (B) to accept a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure in connection with such 

Loan. 

(g) The Initial Member or the Failed Bank, or its respective officers, directors 

or employees, fraudulently caused the Borrower to receive less than all of the proceeds and 

benefits of a Note. The Company’s recourse with respect to this Section 6.1(g) shall be 

conditioned upon the Company delivering, along with the notice required by Section 6.2, written 

evidence of such fraud, which evidence must be satisfactory in form and substance to the Initial 

Member in its discretion. 

(h) There is instituted after the Cut-Off Date any Action that (i) is asserted by 

more than one Borrower and any Affiliates (with multiple Borrowers with respect to Loans 

secured by the same Collateral being considered a single Borrower for purposes of this Section) 

with respect to more than one Asset (with multiple Loans secured by the same Collateral being 

considered a single Asset for purposes of this Section), (ii) includes allegations of fraud on the 

part of the Initial Member or the Failed Bank in connection with the Initial Member’s or the 

Failed Bank’s origination of such Assets (or the related Underlying Loans) and (iii) names the 

Initial Member or the Failed Bank as a defendant and that asserts liability on the part of the 

Initial Member or the Failed Bank for which the Company is not liable as assignee, as a matter of 

law, with respect to such Assets.

Section 6.2 Notice to Initial Member. The Company shall notify the Initial Member 

of each Asset with respect to which the Company seeks to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 

6.1. Such notice shall be on the Company’s letterhead and include the following information: (a) 

the Company’s tax identification number, (b) the Company’s wire transfer instructions, (c) the 

asset number and other identifying information related to the Asset, (d) the subsection of Section 

6.1 pursuant to which the Company is seeking to require the Initial Member to repurchase the 

Asset, (e) a summary of the reasons the Company believes that the Asset should be repurchased 

by the Initial Member and (f) a certification by the Company that the request for repurchase is 

being submitted in good faith and is complete and accurate in all respects to the best of the 

Company’s knowledge. The notice shall be accompanied by evidence supporting the basis for 

the Initial Member’s repurchase of such Asset. Promptly upon request by the Initial Member, 

the Company shall supply the Initial Member with any additional evidence that the Initial 

Member reasonably might request. The Initial Member shall have no obligation to repurchase 

any Asset pursuant to this Article VI for which notice and all supporting evidence reasonably 

required by the Initial Member have not been received by the Initial Member at the addresses 

specified in Article VII no later than the first Business Day after the expiration of (x) in the case 

of any purchase demand pursuant to Section 6.1(a) through (h), 180 calendar days after the 

Closing Date, or in the case of a Contract for Deed, the first Business Day after the expiration of 

360 calendar days after the Closing Date, and (y) in the case of any purchase demand with 

respect to the issuance of an Order, thirty days after the issuance of the Order. 

Section 6.3 Re-delivery of Notes, Files and Documents. For any Asset that qualifies 

for re-purchase pursuant to this Article, the Company shall: (a) re-endorse and deliver the Note 

with respect to any Loan or Underlying Loan to the Initial Member (or its designee); (b) assign 

all Collateral Documents associated with such Asset and reconvey any real property subject to a 

Contract for Deed or any related Receiver Acquired Property or Company Acquired Property, 

together with such other documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to convey 

the Asset (including any related Receiver Acquired Property or Company Acquired Property and 

including any related equity interests in an Ownership Entity) back to the Initial Member (or its 

designee); (c) deliver to the Initial Member (or its designee) the Asset File, along with any 

additional records compiled or accumulated by the Company pertaining to the Asset; (d) take 

such actions as are necessary to transfer from the Company to the Initial Member any litigation 

or bankruptcy action involving the subject Asset, including substituting the duties of the 

Company for the Initial Member and the Initial Member for the Company, and with respect to 

the Affidavit and Assignment of Claim, the form of which is attached to this Agreement as 

Attachment D, substituting the duties of the Assignor (as such term is defined therein) for the 

Assignee (as such term is defined therein) and the Assignee for the Assignor; and (e) deliver to 

the Initial Member (or its designee) a certification, notarized and executed under penalty of 

perjury by a duly authorized representative of the Company, certifying that as of the date of 

purchase by the Initial Member none of the conditions relieving the Initial Member of its 

obligation to purchase the Asset as specified in Section 6.4 has occurred. The documents 

evidencing the conveyance of the Asset to the Initial Member shall be substantially the same as 

those executed pursuant to Article III of this Agreement to convey the Asset to the Company. In 

all cases in which the Company recorded or filed among public records any document or 

instrument evidencing a transfer of the Asset to the Company, the Company shall cause to be 

30

recorded or filed among such records a similar document or instrument evidencing the 

conveyance of the Asset to the Initial Member. Upon Compliance by the Company with the 

provisions of this Section 6.3, the Initial Member shall pay to the Company the Repurchase 

Price, and the Repurchase Price shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 5.1 of the 

Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement. 

Section 6.4 Waiver of Company’s Repurchase Option. The Initial Member will be 

relieved of its obligation to purchase any Asset for any reason set forth in Section 6.1 if the 

Company: (a) except in the case of the permanent refinance of a Loan in connection with the 

final Authorized Funding Draw with respect to such Loan, modifies any of the terms of the Loan 

(including the terms of any Collateral Document or Contract for Deed); (b) exercises forbearance 

with respect to any scheduled payment on the Loan; (c) accepts or executes new or modified 

lease documents assigned by the Initial Member to the Company; (d) sells, assigns or transfers 

the Asset or any interest therein; (e) fails to comply with the LLC Operating Agreement in the 

maintenance, collection, servicing and preservation of the Asset, including delinquency 

prevention, collection procedures and protection of collateral as warranted; (f) initiates any 

litigation in connection with the Asset or the Mortgaged Property securing the Asset other than 

litigation to force payment or to realize on the Collateral securing the Asset; (g) completes any 

action with respect to foreclosure on, or accepts a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for any Collateral 

securing the Asset; (h) causes, by action or inaction, the priority of title to the Asset, Mortgaged 

Property and other security for the Asset to be less than that conveyed by the Initial Member; (i) 

causes, by action or inaction, the security for the Asset to be different than that conveyed by the 

Initial Member, except as might be required by the terms of the Collateral Documents; (j) causes,

Article VIII
 

Miscellaneous Provisions
 

Section 8.1 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or 

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, but such ineffectiveness shall be limited as 

follows: (a) if such provision is prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction only as to a 

particular Person or Persons and/or under any particular circumstance or circumstances, such 

provision shall be ineffective, but only in such jurisdiction and only with respect to such 

particular Person or Persons and/or under such particular circumstance or circumstances, as the 

case may be; (b) without limitation of clause (a), such provision shall in any event be ineffective 

only as to such jurisdiction and only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and 

such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render 

unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction; and (c) without limitation of clauses (a) 

or (b), such ineffectiveness shall not invalidate any of the remaining provisions of this 

Agreement. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, it is the intent of the parties to this 

Agreement that in the event that in any court proceeding, such court determines that any 

provision of this Agreement is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (because of the 

duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of such provision, or for any other reason) such 

court shall have the power to, and shall, (p) modify such provision (including without limitation, 

to the extent applicable, by limiting the duration or scope of such provision and/or the Persons 

against whom, and/or the circumstances under which, such provision shall be effective in such 

jurisdiction) for purposes of such proceeding to the minimum extent necessary so that such 

provision, as so modified, may then be enforced in such proceeding and (q) enforce such 

provision, as so modified pursuant to clause (p), in such proceeding. Nothing in this Section is 

intended to, or shall, limit (x) the ability of any party to this Agreement to appeal any court 

ruling or the effect of any favorable ruling on appeal or (y) the intended effect of Section 8.2. 

Section 8.2 Governing Law. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AGREES 

AND ELECTS THAT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL 

OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE 

GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE 

STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS RULE OR PRINCIPLE 

THAT MIGHT REFER THE GOVERNANCE OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS 

AGREEMENT TO THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION, AND EACH PARTY TO 

THIS AGREEMENT UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM 

TO ASSERT THAT THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERN THIS 

AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL REQUIRE ANY UNLAWFUL 

ACTION OR INACTION BY ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT. 

Section 8.3 Cost, Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this 

Agreement, each party to this Agreement agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses which it has 

incurred in connection with or incidental to the matters contained in this Agreement, including 

fees and disbursements to its accountants, brokers, financial advisors and counsel.

Section 8.4 Waivers; Amendment and Assignment. 

(a) No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived except in 

writing executed by all of the parties to this Agreement. This Agreement and the terms, 

covenants, conditions, provisions, obligations, undertakings, rights and benefits set forth in this 

Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the undersigned parties and 

their respective heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and permitted 

assigns, and no other Person or Persons (including Borrowers or any co-lender or other Person 

with any interest in or liability under any of the Loans) shall have any rights or remedies 

pursuant to or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may 

not be transferred or assigned without the express prior written consent of the Initial Member, 

and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void ab initio. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this 

Agreement (including the foregoing Section 8.4(a)) or in any Transaction Document, to facilitate 

the possible restructuring or sale of the Purchase Money Notes, the FDIC, without the consent of 

the Private Owner, the Company or the Holders of any other Purchase Money Note, may at any 

time that the FDIC is the Holder or Note Owner of 100 percent of any Purchase Money Note or 

beneficial interest therein in whole or in part and from time to time cause the Company to 

replace or reissue such Purchase Money Note (or any promissory note reissued in respect 

thereof) and make related changes, modifications or amendments to this Agreement and the 

Transaction Documents as permitted therein. In the event of any such replacement or reissuance 

of a Purchase Money Note, (I) (A) the maturity date of such replacement or reissued Purchase 

Money Note shall not be later than the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date and (B) the 

outstanding principal amount of such replacement or reissued Purchase Money Note at the time 

of its replacement or reissuance shall equal (1) the outstanding principal amount of such 

Purchase Money Note minus (2) the amounts on deposit pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Custodial 

and Paying Agency Agreement to pay such maturing Purchase Money Note (including the 

amount, if any, of any payments made pursuant to the Purchase Money Notes Guaranty) plus (3) 

an amount equal to 0.50% of the amount calculated pursuant to clause (1) and (2); provided, 

however, that for purposes of clause (2) above, proceeds from the reissued Purchase Money 

Notes deposited pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement shall not 

be included as amounts on deposit to pay such maturing Purchase Money Note; and (II) no 

modification contained in such replacement or reissued Purchase Money Note (A) shall affect 

adversely the amount or timing of distributions to the Private Owner pursuant to the Priority of 

Payments in the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement or (B) shall affect adversely any other 

rights or obligations of the Private Owner pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction 

Document (other than the Purchase Money Notes), in each case unless the adversely affected 

Private Owner shall have consented to the applicable provisions resulting in such adverse effect. 

Prior to effecting any such changes, amendments or modifications, the FDIC shall notify each of 

the Private Owner and the Company of any such contemplated changes, amendments or 

modifications, and the Private Owner and the Company agree that they will cooperate in good 

faith with the FDIC in effecting all such changes, amendments or modifications. 

(c) Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in 

this Agreement (including the foregoing Sections 8.4(a) and (b)) or in any Transaction 

35 

AmTrust Bank CADC Loan and REO Structured Transaction 2010 

Asset Contribution and Sale Agreement 

468-004/AGR/2644024.18 
 

 

 

Document, the Initial NGPMN Holder shall have the right to Convert any Non-Guaranteed 

Purchase Money Note from time to time, in whole or in part, into one or more Converted 

Guaranteed Purchase Money Notes, all in accordance with Sections 2.8(b) and 2.19 of the 

Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement. 

Section 8.5 No Presumption. This Agreement shall be construed fairly as to each 

party hereto and, if at any time any such term or condition is desired or required to be interpreted 

or construed, no consideration shall be given to the issue of who actually prepared, drafted or 

requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject 

hereto. 

Section 8.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents 

contain the entire agreement between the Initial Member and the Company and its Affiliates with 

respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all other prior agreements, whether 

oral or written; provided, however, that any Confidentiality Agreement between the FDIC and 

the Private Owner or any Affiliates of the Private Owner (including by way of joinder) with 

respect to the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents 

shall remain in full force and effect to the extent provided therein. In the event of a conflict 

between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Transfer Document or other document 

or instrument executed in connection herewith or in connection with the transactions 

contemplated hereby, including any translation into a foreign language of this Agreement for the 

purpose of any Transfer Document, or any other document or instrument executed in connection 

herewith which is prepared for notarization, filing or any other purpose, the terms of this 

Agreement shall control, and furthermore, the terms of this Agreement shall in no way be or be 

deemed to be amended, modified or otherwise affected in any manner by the terms of such 

Transfer Document or other document or instrument. 

Section 8.7 Jurisdiction; Venue and Service. 

(a) The Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably and 

unconditionally: 

(i) consents to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for

suit, action or proceeding in only the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of 

New York, and waives any right to remove or transfer such suit, action or proceeding to any 

other court or dispute-resolution forum without the consent of the Initial Member.
